The book includes the stories "The Life and Adventures of a Weirdo," "Traveler with Luggage," "White Steamers," "Good Morning for Good People," "Salty Snow" and stories of different years ("Major Shchegoleev," "Donkey and the Fifth Ocean," "White Elk Street" and others). The heroes of these works - peers of modern children, schoolchildren - would seem to be the most ordinary. But they are always distinguished by a sense of justice, honesty, in their actions attention to others, willingness to help.
