    About this ebook

    Silky was a silkworm who wanted to be useful to humanity, even though that would cost him his own life. He thought that he could build houses for the homeless with his precious thread.

    Alas! Mother Earth had different plans for him; she wanted him to dress up elegant people worldwide with his fascinating silk, which has a myriad of shades and colours.
