Pilgrims by Elizabeth Gilbert

Gilbert opens her collection with an epigraph from Chaucer's prologue from the Canterbury Tales, preparing the reader for 200 quick-turning pages of individual American pilgrimages. With poise and humor, Gilbert explores the revelations of her various journeying characters. Each world her characters inhabit, whether the Western Ranchlands or the Bronx Terminal vegetable market, is authentic and vividly described. Oddly, her stories do not finish with clever twists or perfect endings.

Caillou learns to be considerate of animals. Caillou has nobody to play with, so he recruits Gilbert his cat. He tries to get Gilbert to play his favourite games, but Gilbert isn’t interested in the slightest. When Mom points out that Caillou’s been trying to get the cat to play people games, he realizes that Gilbert probably wants to play kitty cat games. That works much better!
