    It knocked gently until a peephole opened up and the heavenly doorman looked through. He saw the little soul and said, "Tiny little soul, poor little soul, I mustn’t let you in. The judgment says that heaven’s door is not to be opened to you until you bring us a watering can full of solid water that flows from the base of a hill up to its top, beneath a bone mountain." He gave the little soul a watering can and closed the peephole.

    Fran Milčinski

    Fran Milčinski je bil mladinski sodnik, humorist, satirik, mladinski pisatelj in dramatik. V značilnem satiričnem tonu je pogosto smešil slovensko malomeščanstvo in malomeščansko okolje, posmehoval se je uradništvu, političnim in kulturnim razmeram v katerih je sam rasel. Napisal je veliko umetnih pravljic, v katerih se je lotil prastarega pravljičnega motiva slovenske ljudske pesmi (Pravljice (1911), Tolovaj Mataj in druge slovenske pravljice (1917) ). Med njegova posebej znamenita dela sodijo Ptički brez gnezda ter ciklel pripovedi Butalci.

    Navdih za pisanje je pogosto dobival ob branju del svojih najljubših pisateljev (Dostojevski, Dickens, Twain). Sodi med največje slovenske literarne ustvarjalce.
