Living in the countryside is great: a little river, a forest nearby—if you want, you can pick mushrooms; if you want, you can hill potatoes in the garden. And you can keep as many animals as you like: there’s enough space for everyone, and nobody will say that a cat has no use, while the dog’s paws are dirty. In the village, there’s benefit from everyone.
One boy took it and went away from his parents to Prostokvashino. And he took the cat with him. And the dog grabbed on along the way.
Widely known from the cartoon, the story-fairy tale about how Uncle Fyodor and his faithful friends—Cat Matroskin and the dog Sharik—settle in the village of Prostokvashino and begin an independent life full of adventures.
