One day, on a wonderful day of passing summer, the dwarf Herbe decides to go for a walk. Not just a walk, but a hike! Which causes unanimous censure from the hardworking neighbors, who believe that every well-bred gnome must work on weekdays, and the trip is also dangerous because you can wander into the Far Forest, where, as you know, the terrible Plumpatch lives. But this doesn’t scare our hero, because he doesn’t plan to go that far. However, His Majesty Chance intervenes in the matter, and, escaping from the voracious ants, Herbe ends up... Just in the Far Forest! And what happened next, you will find out by reading the fairy tale yourself! Artist Valentin Rodionov.
