A Wizard Walked Through the City

This amazing story began with the fact that an ordinary schoolboy, Tolik Ryz hkov, found a box of magic matches. All you had to do was break a match in half and make a wish—and it was instantly granted. So his mother became the kindest woman in the world. Tolik himself became the best hockey player in the country. Then the strongest man in the world. Then… nobody knows who else he might have become, if only one day he hadn’t suddenly ended up in a country…

A tale for a fourth-grader—the most ordinary boy—where extraordinary things begin to happen: all of his wishes start coming true. But somehow that doesn’t make him happy.
Based on this story, a film was made: “The Secret of the Iron Door.”
