This story goes back to a time when life was very simple and simple stories were entertaining for children.  Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka are three Swedish triplets (dressed alike) who take care of their aunt and uncle’s cat while they are gone.  The story is somewhat unrealistic as it takes place so long ago and in Sweden.  But kids reading it won’t know that; they will be entralled that the cat had kittens.  This is a story in which the story is read to the child.  The story is simple and sweet, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
