Little Mr. Jaromir

Little Mr. Jaromir lives on the sixth floor. Each time he gets into the lift, he jumps as high as he can and presses a button. He usually reaches the fourth floor and walks up the last two flights.

Mr. Jaromir is a child of fortune. He blows the biggest bubbles, he wins a raffle, and has many adventures. He meets up with a trolley thief in a supermarket, and for three days he is trapped in the lift, where he decides to plant tomatoes - a special variety needing little sunlight.

A charming, clever and original story, much praised by the press and awarded several prizes.
