Overview Engelen som hadde altfor korte vinger

Once upon a time – back when the world was created – there was a plump little angel called Jorkalel. No matter how hard he tried, he never could learn to fly. He just tumbled from cloud to cloud instead. The other angels had to keep saving him to stop him from crashing. In the end, they got bored of looking after him. When that happened, Jorkalel was given the job of tending the Garden instead. He became the first gardener in Paradise. Jorkalel was good at getting the flowers to bloom. But he was even better at looking after the animals, especially when they needed help and comfort.

A beautiful tale about taking care of those who are a little bit different.
