The Imperial Dog Once upon a time there were two brothers, two puppies. And so one of them, thanks to the dexterity of the young gardener Fred, ended up in the imperial palace, and the other settled in the house of a tinsmith. The emperor's favorite dog walks in parades and adores Mozart, while his brother scavenges through garbage dumps and learns to steal masterfully. But one day the brothers switched places...

William and the wolves William has a four-year-old sister, the charming Mary. Mary came up with an imaginary Lamb, and William, to spite her, decided to have wolves. But wolves are wolves: they scare Mary, spoil the flower beds in the garden, attack the school bully and strict teachers. From the parents all you hear is a continuous “stop this disgrace” and not a word about what a rich imagination William has. But William just wanted to get rid of the nasty, spoiled Lamb.
