Three little friends go on a trip around the world. It only took them a day to prove that the Earth really is round. After all, they went on a hike from their dacha and returned to the same place.

Six-year-old Minka, his sister Lylya, his friend Styopa and the dog Tuzik set off on a trip around the world from their country house near Moscow. The boys have made thorough preparations: they take a sack of provisions with them.

Their adventures begin right away. Minka drops a heavy sack, and the food scatters. Tuzik reacts instantly — leaves the travelers without bacon. The guys make a halt. Minya takes a bite of a sweet sandwich and is immediately stung by a wasp. He cries out in pain the whole way.

When it gets dark, we stop for the night. We could not make a fire with a magnifying glass — the sun went down. Going to sleep, Stepka lies down with his feet in the direction of travel, so as not to mix up the direction.

Lelka and Min’ka turned the sleeping friend over with their feet in the direction of the dacha. In the morning the guys resumed their hike and ended up at home.
