Little Misha was a big fan of toy robots. His entire room was filled with different models, big and small, and there were even some that could talk. On each birthday, his parents gave their son another robot, which immediately received a name.
In class, almost all the boys envied Misha because no one else had such a large number of toys. Once, even one of his friends wanted to trade a new remote-controlled car for Misha's robot, but the boy refused completely.
Misha, you have so many of these robots! Come on, let's trade, look at this cool car I have!
His friend asked.
No, I don't need your cars! I want to collect an entire army of robots that will protect me and my family.
Misha answered, and after school he would hurry straight home.
After some time, Misha learned that a new boy had moved into their yard, his name was Danil. He had moved with his parents to a new house, next door to Misha's.
One day there was a knock on the door.
Who's there?
Misha's mom asked.
It's your new neighbors.
Came the answer from the other side of the door.
Misha's mom hurried to open it, and on the doorstep stood Danil with his mother, and in her hands was a large beautiful pie.
Misha, greet our guests!
Misha's mom called out warmly.
The boys' mothers immediately began sharing delicious recipes and discussing the news, settling in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the boys went to Misha's room.
Wow!
Danil said admiringly.
I've never seen such a robot collection! Can I touch them?
Carefully! Better not, because you might break them!
Oh come on, what a big deal, some collection!
Danil snapped.
I've seen better ones!
Danil turned around and left the room, offended and disappointed.
The next day the boys met at school.
So, how are your robots doing? Are they still all in one piece, nothing broken?
Danil asked Misha mockingly.
Misha looked at his new neighbor and said nothing, he had no time for such nonsense, a whole army was waiting for him at home.
Evening came, Misha turned off the night light in his room and fell asleep.
The boy was disturbed by a bright light and a crash that came right above his head. Misha jumped up and almost fell to the floor in surprise. Before him stood an entire army of robots, the ones that used to live on his shelf. Now these robots, as if alive, moved around the room, making strange sounds like the hum of an engine and grinding.
At-ten-tion!
One of them said in an electronic voice.
We have a tar-get! We must pro-tect our home!
Misha couldn't believe his eyes. The boy looked out the window in fear and saw that his house was surrounded. On the street stood Danil and other boys, with slingshots and stones in their hands, clearly preparing for an attack.
Hey, Misha, why are you standing there frozen? Come out! Don't want to give up your robots to play nicely, then take this!
A huge boulder flew through the window.
At that moment everything around sparkled with bright lights, and right before Misha's eyes his little robots turned into real huge machines ready to protect their home and their master. Lights flashed on their heads, and real machine guns appeared in their hands, though they fired paper bullets.
Danil and the other boys climbed over the fence, broke the window with a slingshot and were about to climb into the room to take the robot collection.
But the robots, transformed into real soldiers, raised their machine guns up, and one of them whistled loudly:
F-i-r-e!
There was a whistle, a roar, a rumble, the lights flashed on and off, the robots defended the room, and Danil and the boys only screamed:
Run, scatter!
Misha closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again. Everything around was in perfect order, his robot collection, whole and unharmed, stood on the same shelf, the window was intact. An alarm clock distracted the boy, which meant it was time to get ready for school.
It must have been a dream!
Misha sighed with relief and began getting ready for school.
Misha entered the classroom. Danil was already sitting at his desk, and under his eye was a big black eye, his arm was wrapped in a bandage. When the boy saw Misha, he quickly opened his briefcase and took out a beautiful box with a robot from the newest collection.
This is for you!
Danil said barely audibly and shook Misha's hand.
Then Misha understood that it was not a dream at all, and miracles happen to us, we just need to believe in them.
Read fairy tales and you will always be able to come out of a difficult situation as a winner.
