"What I like about black swans is their red nose. However, this has nothing to do with our story."
"The Adventures of Vasya Kurolesov" is a Soviet children's classic. A detective story with chases, shootouts, police, ambushes and the main character - a simple village boy Vasya, who may not have shone with talent, but distinguished himself with courage and natural intelligence.
And this is how it happened. Vasya once bought a piglet at the market, but when he got home it turned out that instead of a piglet the seller had slipped him a dog in the bag. Vasya was very upset and decided to restore justice - find the swindler and teach him a lesson. He returned to the market, found the seller, but immediately got into bigger trouble and spent the night in jail, almost being accused of fraud himself. But no matter, he got out of it dry! Having found a tiny clue in this pig-dog-bag business, he helped the police catch not only a petty crook, but also an entire gang of bandits.
Yuri Koval tells the story with talent, he is a writer with a wonderful style and a subtle sense of humor, he writes briefly and very accurately.
