stretched his paw out flabbily and then jerked it back frightenedly. Though, there
was no moment when he forgot that he had to help his friend by all means.
That’s why he climbed on the bear cub back. They took to the road after saying
goodbye to everyone. A bear cub was making his way through the forest and the
sky above their heads shone with a lot of stars. They were lightening their way in
order to help them.
The kitten was yawning sleepily and even curled into a ball several times
on a cub’s back, but did his best no to fall asleep. Soon his patience and
persistence were awarded. Just in front of them a forest meadow full of fireflies
came into the view. Small Potapych helped the kitten to get down his back.
- We have already come, - the bear puffed. – Hear you’l find Borovichok.
But be careful, because this whitebeard is sly. And for me it’s time to go home,
because my mother wil begin to worry.
- Thank you, bear, - the kitten said farewell and a splay-footed went back
into the thick and dark forest. Murzik thought ashamedly that his mother-cat is
probably also worrying now about where her kitten went. But he was sure that
mother-cat would necessarily understand him when she knew that he managed
to find Truth.
In the meantime, he was looking around a forest meadow, trying to follow
the fireflies, but every time he lagged behind their direction.
- Good evening, fireflies! – The kitten said and the whole choir of voices
replied to him.
- Good evening, kitten!
- I’m looking for Lesovichok-Borovichok. I really have to help my friend
