If you're learning Spanish, the most important thing is to improve your listening. "The White Cat" is a short story created especially for this. The story was written using a list of the 5,000 most common words in spoken Spanish, so you won't be wasting your time with uncommon words. The only word outside the list is "gata".

If you're curious, this story is based on an old story in the public domain called "Tobermory", by Saki. But I've made so many changes it's barely recognizable. The previous story, "The Mysterious Woman" was based on "The Sphinx Without a Secret", by Oscar Wilde.
AI USE:
The images for this story were created using Adobe Firefly inside Photoshop. It took me a week to generate the images because I had specific requirements for each character, so I had to re-generate each image (completely or partly) many times.
