Chi lo dice che ogni storia deve avere un finale? A Gianni Rodari non piacevano le regole date senza motivo, e che una storia fosse obbligata ad avere uno e un solo finale, gli sembrava una regola da mettere alla prova, per vedere se era una regola buona o no.

L'autore ne suggerisce tre per ogni storia, e invita i bambini a scegliere quello che preferiscono e motivare il perché, oppure a scriverne uno nuovo da loro stessi.
