Victor experiences the ups of and downs of everyday Greek life; the up of the novelty of a sea dip in December even though the locals consider such behavior quite bizarre, and the down of being forced out of bed on a cold windy morning to bake bread for the village in an outside oven. As Victor settles into his new life he is haunted by the specter of his absconded parent turning up on his doorstep.

  Rats are often misunderstood animals, with many people viewing them as pests or even dangerous creatures. However, they make wonderful and affectionate pets for those willing to look past these misconceptions. In this chapter, we will introduce you to the world of pet rats, explain why they make excellent companions, and discuss some important things to know before bringing one into your home. 
  Rats are highly intelligent and social animals, known for their ability to bond with their owners. Unlike many other small pets, rats have the capacity to learn and interact in meaningful ways. They can be trained to perform tricks, respond to their names, and even use a litter box. This intelligence and trainability make rats unique among small mammals, providing a rewarding experience for those who enjoy engaging with their pets. 
  In addition to their intelligence, rats are also affectionate. Many rat owners report that their pets develop strong bonds with them, often seeking attention and companionship. Rats are naturally social animals, which means they thrive in the company of other rats, though they also form close relationships with their human caretakers. When treated with kindness and respect, rats can be loving and loyal companions.
