Of course, none of the «ocean» ships go along the Yauza River, but the heroes of the book will construct «ocean ships» for themselves from an old punt, a plastic basin, a rubber boat and set off on a journey «to the ocean» in their dreams and songs, where, as befits brave travelers, both land and sea entertaining adventures await them …

Faced with an obstacle on the Yauza in their campaigns «to the ocean», the heroes of the book will not be afraid of the dangers and difficulties that have arisen. How they will overcome them and what adventures await them (on land and on water) in the vicinity of the Yauza and on the Yauza River, read on the pages of the book.

It is, of course, a long way to the «ocean», but the fact that the Yauza flows into the Moscow River is accurate, and there Oka → Volga → Caspian … And there are, after all, other opportunities to achieve your dreams …

And now, dear readers, let's join the heroes of the book.

To the world of entertaining adventures.

First book

The first adventure!

Nobility is always stronger than fear and self-interest

Nearby, in the sources of a swampy and shallow water, overgrown along the banks with reddish, reed and tall forbs, but from this no less beloved by all the heroes of this book and singing it as «full-flowing», «wide», «rich in all kinds of large fish», «running up to the ocean itself», the Yauza River, in one of the gardens with tall grasses and fragrant flowers, spreading apple trees, cherries, plums and other woody and shrub plants, a multitude of both songbirds and non-songbirds lived a hedgehog.

The hedgehog lived, of course, not alone in this garden. The hedgehog had dad Hedgehog, mom Hedgehog and several brothers and sisters.

The hedgehog was the youngest in the family and the biggest coward in the whole huge garden.

And maybe further.

And although daddy the Hedgehog and mommy Hedgehog, and all the older brothers and sisters, told the hedgehog many and many times that all hedgehogs are very brave and are not afraid to fight even with a poisonous snake, the hedgehog did not become any braver from this. And the hedgehog from these stories became even cowardly.

As soon as a branch rustled on a tree or the grass rustled, the hedgehog imagined that it was a snake crawling and, as befits each of the family of hedgehogs according to the stories of the elders, he would have to fight it.
