Puppet show: Who created Lake Cerknica?

The illustrated cover shows two figures in the foreground, depicted in a cartoon style. The figure on the left is wearing light-colored clothing and has white, ear-shaped accessories on his head. The figure on the right is dressed in dark clothing and wears a dark hat and a long beard. Above them is a large, red inscription with slightly curved letters: “Kdo je naredil jezero?” In the background is a picturesque landscape featuring a lake, a shoreline, low shrubbery, and mountains, above which is a bright blue sky with numerous white clouds.

Story:
Two travelers, explorers, seekers, and storytellers each come to tell a tale about the origin of Lake Cerknica. One prefers witches, while the other prefers sheep. Each has their own story, but neither seems quite right. At first, they tease each other a bit, but in the end, they help each other create a new story—together with the audience, puppets, and makeshift instruments—about who actually created the lake.
