Old Master Carlo carved himself a wooden boy, dressed him, taught him to walk, and the very next day sent the boy to school to learn. But Buratino chose to trade studying for going to the theater. He sold his alphabet book for 30 soldi and bought a ticket to the performance. And so all the exciting adventures of Buratino begin…

One fine morning, a handsome and dexterous Lion Cub realized that he did not have a "true friend." How can a clumsy and fat Hippopotamus Borya be a true friend? No! Only the "Mysterious Hippopotamus" can become the most. Upon learning about this, the Lion Cub, allowing the clumsy Hippopotamus to accompany him, went in search of a Hippopotamus. He had to experience many different adventures. And every time his ordinary friend, the Hippopotamus Borya, came to the rescue.
