It’s good to live in a village: there’s a river, a forest nearby, if you want to pick mushrooms, if you want to plant potatoes in the garden. And you can have as many animals as you like: there is enough space for everyone and no one will say that the cat is of no use, and the dog has dirty paws. Everyone in the village is useful. So one boy took it and left his parents for Prostokvashino. And he took the cat. And the dog got hold of him on the way. A widely known cartoon story about how Uncle Fyodor and his faithful friends, the cat Matroskin and the dog Sharik, settle in the village of Prostokvashino and begin an independent life full of adventures.
