Or a mouse in the dark?

Сели у окошка
Сели рядом вечерком

First we see the smile, then the cat. Have a look.
It’s a Cheshire cat from the book “Alice in Wonderland” (a cartoon strip)
To read a passage from the Russian book: p.74
“В нескольких шагах от нее сидел на ветке Чеширский Кот….” р.76
“Вы можете исчезать и появляться не так внезапно? А то у меня голова идет кругом. – Хорошо, - сказал Кот и исчез – на этот раз очень медленно. Первым исчез кончик его хвоста, а последней – улыбка. Она долго парила в воздухе, когда все остальное уже пропало.
- Да, - подумала Алиса. – Видала я котов без улыбок, но улыбка без кота! Такого я в жизни не встречала.”
* ( if time is left):
The man who wrote the book wasn’t a real writer, he was a teacher.
He had a little friend, a girl called Alice.
He told her his interesting stories and then he made a book of them.
