Ein einsamer Reiter stößt mitten in der Wüste zu einer Karawane und bittet, an ihrer Seite weiterreisen zu dürfen. Begegnen die Kaufmänner dem mysteriösen Fremden anfangs mit Misstrauen, nehmen sie ihn rasch in ihre Mitte auf und vertreiben einander die Zeit in der Wüste mit Märchen. So führt die erste Geschichte in das Reich eines Kalifen, der einem finsteren Zauberer in die Falle läuft. Dieser verwandelt den Kalifen in einen Storch, um selbst die Herrschaft an sich zu reißen. Weiter geht es an der Seite zweier Schiffbrüchiger, die sich knapp vor dem Ertrinken auf ein zufällig vorbeifahrendes, scheinbar menschenleeres Schiff retten.

Збірка казок Івана Франка під назвою Коли ще звірі говорили перший раз вийшла ще у 1899 р., друге видання з'явилось у 1903 році. До цієї збірки Франко додає передмову, в якій писав: "Оці байки, що зібрані в тій книжечці, то старе народне добро... Вони найбільше відповідають смакові дітей від 6 до 12 років, заставляють їх сміятися і думати, розбуджують їх цікавість та увагу до явищ природи." У казках Івана Яковича Франка під образами тварин висміюються люди з їх недоліками: жадібністю, невдячністю, жорстокістю і нечемністю, хитрощами і лінощами. У казках тварини з цими рисами характеру завжди покарані.
