Attitude towards animals in the family is the main theme of this issue of the children's series. When Nastya and Nikita decided to use a pet turtle as a toy, their mother was indignant when she caught them doing this. “But we didn’t want anything bad for her!” — the guys made excuses. That same evening, before going to bed, my mother read them the story “Blackie.” This is the story of a kitten who was born and lived in a house where he was not always welcome, where he sometimes even seemed to be a nuisance. But when Chernysh disappeared one day, anxiety gripped everyone... Fortunately, this story had a happy ending.
