The story of Momo shows how she lived alone in the ruins of an amphitheater. People would spend time with her and come away better acquainted with their real selves. She had two close friends - a twenty year old story teller and a sixty year old street sweeper. They were both stolen away by the grey gentlemen whose purpose was to steal time and smoke people's lives in the form of cigars. Momo found the host of time and his turtle, Cassiopeia and together, the three of them pulled the rug out from under the grey gentlemen and saved the day.
It's a lesser known story by Michael Ende and while The Never Ending Story has been translated into English as well as having been made into a film, this one has not.
