The story "An Unfinished Story" is part of the collection for children "Inventors". The heroes of the story are children: the boy Petya and the girl Tanya. The guys meet every day on a bench in the park and make up some kind of story. This time they decide to write a story about wealth, with Tanya telling the story on behalf of the rich woman, and Petya on behalf of the poor man. Speaking in different positions, the guys quarrel at first, but in the end they come to a mutual agreement that friendship is more valuable than any wealth. This is a humorous story, not devoid of some truth.
