– What happened? Who could dare to do such a bad thing and upset the residents of our city? – the boy was perplexed.
"Let's find out," suggested Levko's best friend, who also saw and understood everything that happened in the city.
And who do you think was Levko's best friend? They were and are the cat Pouncequick from the tribe of Unrestrained Sniffers.
Only the boy Levka and the gray cat Shustrik were the ones who were not affected by the ominous changes.
The friends went to the Tower of Omniscience to find out in the book of wisdom what had happened. When they came to the tower. Then they noticed that the crystal of joy from the tower clock had disappeared. And when they got to the library where the book of wisdom was kept, they saw an empty table.
So our daredevils understood. That the crystal of joy and the book of wisdom were missing.
– The time for adventure has come! – my friends decided.
The first adventure. Through the strawberry glade to the wise owl
– First we will go through a strawberry glade into the depths of a dark pine forest to an old, old pine tree, in the hollow of which an old wise talking owl lives. She knows everything about everything, has flown everywhere and seen everything. She will tell us where to look for the mysterious kidnapper, " Lev said to the cat, throwing a magic backpack over his shoulder.
– Murr? Pouncequick mewed questioningly, it was a smart cat, although a little wayward.
– I don't like owls, murr, – the cat said with displeasure, – Owls always turn up their noses, as if they are smarter than everyone else, and they also hunt my mice, harmful owls, murr. But I really love strawberries and therefore I agree, so let's go through the strawberry meadow murr.
And they went.
It was a wonderful day. The sun was shining brightly over the strawberry glade, birds were chirping, there was not a cloud in the sky. Having eaten enough strawberries, the friends went to the edge of the forest. And as soon as they stepped into it, they shuddered with fear, because the forest closed behind them and it became dark.
It was a living forest.
– Mom always said that trees are alive, since they also grow like children, and you can't offend them, – Lev whispered to the cat, who hid under the hat of a large mushroom from fright.
