  7. 7. Mij is one of the most engaging characters in the prose section because of his lively, playful nature. From being shy at first, he quickly becomes friendly and brimming with energy. He has a passion for water, splashing and rolling in it whenever he can, and a remarkable talent for play — he turns ordinary objects such as a ball or marbles into toys and invents his own games, keeping himself happily occupied. Beyond his playfulness, Mij is affectionate and forms a close attachment to the author, following and trusting him. The author, in turn, grows deeply fond of Mij, going to great lengths to care for him and bring him safely to England. Their relationship beautifully illustrates the warm bond that can grow between a human and an animal.
