In this beautifully illustrated, touching story, a couple of cats take an evening walk along the banks of a lake. The black cat wants only to catch a paw-full of the mysterious lights that shine in the water, to give as a gift to his friend the white cat. He fishes and fishes, but while he catches jellyfish and even an octopus, he can't quite seem to get the lights in his grasp. Can the white cat help to show him that the perfect gift isn't important, when he's already captured her heart?
