Сказки о дружбе

But not so long ago it was all so bad! It all started because I didn't use to listen to the elders. My mom never allowed me to run far from the box where we lived. Yet, I really wanted to know: what was going on behind that door, the one that my mother used every day?

And so once, when my mother Ezhe went out to get some food, as usual, I jumped out of the box and ran away. There were so many trees around! I could climb them, jump and have fun. Hurray!!!

For some reason though, it got dark very quickly, and I wasn’t able to find my way home. I curled up in a ball and fell asleep under a tree. And in the morning, when I woke up, I ran on.

Suddenly, some boys came up towards me.

‘Oh, how beautiful he is!’ one of them said.

I ran up to them to ask where my house was, when suddenly one nasty boy grabbed me by the tail and held me high above the ground. I was in a lot of pain, I was crying, while the boys were laughing.

‘Let him go now! Let him go!’ the two voices shouted simultaneously.

It was granny and her granddaughter Lenochka. They were walking in the grove and they saved me.
