A funny and sweet fairy tale, imbued with a love for animals and an understanding of their psychology. If you want to achieve something, you just need to believe in yourself. The story of “how an outcast domestic cat became the ruler in the forest” is proof of this. Of course, Kotofey Ivanovich not only smells of Khlestakovism - it carries it a kilometer away, but the Fox herself is no slouch. In reality, they are two boots in a pair. However, Chanterelle understands that the forest community will not accept a stranger, and demonstrates the wonders of neuro-linguistic programming, doing the impossible: the owners of the forest Bear, Wolf and Boar begin to fear the mythical governor. In their caricatures we recognize their contemporaries. In addition, the author introduces an additional hero - Starling, a truth-teller, gossip and cosmopolitan.
