In this narrative, Editha is a peculiar and thoughtful seven-year-old girl who, while grappling with the concept of burglars, finds herself face-to-face with one in her own home. Instead of panicking, she approaches the burglar with curiosity and concern for her mother, who is asleep. Editha’s polite and rational demeanor surprises the burglar, leading to humorous exchanges as she offers to help him select items to steal while protecting her family's valuables. Throughout their encounter, Editha realizes the burglar may not be as 'bad' as society depicts him, showcasing her innocence and capacity for compassion. Ultimately, the tale concludes with surprising outcomes, including the eventual return of her cherished belongings, reinforcing the power of empathy and understanding across social divides.
