and sunrise. Everything is good in its season. – Borovichok said looking closely at
a curious kitten that was listening carefully to an old man and admiring both
fireflies and stars at the same time.
- It means that if Vania didn’t find Truth, our Goodness has moved to
another house? – The kitten asked frightenedly.
- Not yet –the old man answered. – Given that you went to the forest
because of your friend and Vania himself wants to find Truth to bring back his
mother her good mood, Goodness stil lives in your house. But hurry up to invite
Honesty and then these three wil keep Happiness in your house.
- But where should I look for Honesty? – The kitten kept asking.
- Truth is where the candy wrappings are…- Borovichok answered with a
mysterious smile. – And now hurry up, otherwise your mother wil worry. The
fireflies wil lead you so you won’t get lost in a dark forest.
- Thank you, uncle Borovichok! – The kitten cried out at last and rushed
after the fireflies.
The road turned to be not so long as it seemed when Murzik was looking
for Borovichok. Soon the kitten found himself near the pond. He gladly thanked
aunt Water and uncle Pinestry for their help and told them how he found
Borovichok and what advise he gave him. The forest creatures wished the kitten
luck and he went home briskly. There his worried mother-cat was waiting for him
with his friend Vanechka beside her.
The kitten stretched with pleasure and sat himself on boy’s knees. He was
stroking kitten’s head and back and the kitten started purring his mother-cat about
the things he found out in the woods. Mother-cat was listening to him carefully
and went to the house when he fell asleep. She went around the whole house
and talked with the mouth that lived in a hole. And then her eyes caught a glint in
the corner. It was the moon that was helping her find Truch and was shining on a
bright wrapper on the floor next to Misha’s bed.
The boy himself was sitting at the table and reading a book. Mother-cat
meowed loudly trying to attract his attention. The boy tore himself away from
reading and turned to her. The cat rased a bright wrapper and it rustled loudly.
She looked closely at the boy, the wrapper and the door of a child room. A boy
frowned but said nothing. The cat stood up, went to the other bed and began
washing herself. But it would appear at first sight. Actually, mother-cat hided her
face with shame and Misha felt ashamed for himself too. Goodness stil lived in
their house and the boy didn’t want his brother and mother to feel upset at all.
Misha picked up a wrapper that he threw away in the morning and shuffled
off to “give up”. Mother-cat followed him with her pleased eyes and went back to
the sil where her kitten was kicking up his paws and purring asleep as he stil
was in the forest and saw incredibly kind and sympathetic animals and birds.
Mother-cat was proud of her son badly, as Murzik was a real true friend to
Vanechka.
Meanwhile Mishenka entered the living room where his mother and father
were reading in the armchairs.
- Mother… - the boy called quietly and lowered his eyes ashamedly.
Mum turned her attention to him at once and put a book aside.
- What happened, Mishenka?
The boy stretched a candy wrapper to her and confessed:
- I feel so embarrassed that I lied to you today in the morning when you
asked me who broke the vase. It was me who stretched out for a candy, didn’t
reach it and dropped the vase unwittingly.
- But why didn’t you tell me al at once? – Mother surprised and father also
put his book aside, listening carefully to their conversation. – Didn’t I teach you to
be always honest?
- You did, - the boy nodded. – But I thought you’d get upset when you
found out that it was me.
- That’s right, sonny, - his mother answered him, sitting him on her knees.
– But I would upset more if Honesty left our house together with Truth.
- Otherwise we would lose Goodness and Happiness forever, - said father.
– Would it be good?
- No, - Misha shook his head and gave a hug at first to his mother and then
to his father. – I wil never cheat. After all, Goodness and Happiness should live in
every house! And in our as well!
Vanechka entered the room to wish everyone good night and saw his
mother, father and brother hugging each other. Mother was smiling and didn’t feel
upset anymore. Vanechka felt so happy that he flew into their arms immediately.
Misha told his brother about the candies and a broken vase.
- I’m so happy that Truth is found! - the boy yelled and parents laughed.
But the kitten who found Truth and helped to keep Happiness in the house
was the happiest.
My dear young reader and his loving parents!
We have come a long way together with a kitten and helped him to find
Truth.
