Kolobok grew and grew, and finally grew up. And he began to grumble at his adoptive parents, saying, I'm bored living with you. The house needs taking care of, and in the village — there are only old folks. The internet — it's scary to think — is only mobile, and even that barely works.
And who knows how the story would have ended, but while lying on the stove warming his sides, Kolobok stumbled upon some website. The creators of that site promised "new acquaintances and friends." Kolobok looked — and there was Vasilisa the Beautiful with a braid down to her feet, and next to her the profile of the Wise One, with a book and glasses.
And then suddenly the phone jerked — a message had arrived. From a user named "Bunny."
Hi, I'm new here, and you?
The message contained. Without thinking long, Kolobok replied:
Just registered. How did you find me?
But "Bunny" ignored the question, only wrote:
How do you feel about rope jumping?
Kolobok just shrugged his "sides" and asked, not yet knowing what he was signing up for:
What's that?
Oh, you're so uneducated, backward, straight from the forest!
Kolobok tried to write a response, but Bunny didn't let him.
No, you don't understand! There...
"What a weirdo," — thought Kolobok and blocked Bunny. He didn't know what awaited him.
And Kolobok met many different animal folk on that strange site. There was "She-Wolf," who turned out to be a friend of the grandmother from the neighboring village. And even "Proud Bear" wrote to him with a proposal to go for honey.
Kolobok became disappointed in the local people, and even wanted to delete his page. However, just as he raised his finger over the button, the phone burst into signal again. He glanced — and there... "Little Fox," and the photos, what photos they were.
Never before had Kolobok seen such a painted beauty. And the message from her was no simple one.
"You're just wonderful! I want to get to know you better. My photos — here." And she gave a link to a strange archive.
Kolobok couldn't resist and clicked on that link. However, the archive came with a surprise. Instead of photographs, he only saw a mocking smiley face. And Kolobok's phone shut down once and for all.
All he could do was sigh and go to the garden to help Grandma and Grandpa dig potatoes. And he never visited such dubious websites again.
