Meanwhile, Roly-Poly finds the same cave and also goes inside the moon. Their leader, Spruts, convinces Miga and Zhulio to steal the money and run leaving Dunno and Kozlik jobless and penniless. However, some of the local millionaire businessmen are worried that giant food will mean that poor workers can get richer and the millionaires may lose money. The stocks sell well and soon the four friends have much money. Upon getting released from jail, Miga introduces Kozlik and Dunno to Zhulio - another con man, and the four decide to start a company selling stocks to raise money to get 'giant seeds' from Dunno's rocket ship and plant them on the moon. In jail he meets Miga - a fast-talking schemer, and Kozlik - a poor, gentle worker. The moon society is a corrupt capitalistic state: the millionaires control all the factories and squander their money away on unnecessary luxuries, the police are violent, corrupt, and stupid, everyday citizens struggle to survive and live in rat infested barracks.ĭunno gets thrown into jail for not having money to pay for his meal at a restaurant and is mistaken for a wanted criminal by the stupid police officers. However, unlike on Earth, these mites do not have 'giant food' (that is, their fruit and vegetables are sized in proportion to the mites, rather than to normal humans like on Earth). When they arrive on the moon, Dunno and Roly-Poly become separated and Dunno falls through a cave and discovers a whole separate society of mites living inside the moon. The night before the rocket launch, Dunno and Roly-Poly sneak into the ship and accidentally launch the rocket. However, Dunno and Roly-Poly are not allowed to go Dunno, because of his undisciplined behavior, and Roly-Poly, because of his inability to cope with non-gravity effects and excessive food consumption. He uses this knowledge to build a rocket ship that will go to the moon much more easily because of being virtually weightless. Dunno on the Moonĭoono discovers that his moon rock (that he obtained from his previous travel to the Moon) creates a no gravity zone when interacting with a magnetic field. They also run into some trouble in the city, particularly when Dunno uses his magic wand to turn a Shorty into a donkey, and then turns two donkeys and a hinny into Shorties. During their journey, they see many technological marvels like futuristic cars, bizarre architecture, televisions that can communicate with you, computerized chess players, etc. Dunno in Sun CityĪfter receiving a magic wand from a wizard, Dunno, Pee-Wee, and Pachkulya Pyostrenkiy wish for a car and go on a road trip to Sun City. With the time, Dunno's lies are discovered and he's mocked by boy-Mites, but consoled by girl-Mites. When he visits the hospital, he talks boy-Mites into supporting his version of facts, in exchange promising to help them out of hospital as soon as possible. As Doono (who escaped from the balloon by parachute before the crash) is absent, Dunno describes himself to girl-Mites as balloon inventor and boy-Mites' leader. The balloon eventually crashes near the Greenville, inhabited only by girl-Mites (boy-Mites had left for the Kite Town where they can carry out freely their boyish activities), who took balloonists to the hospital to care for them.

Gunky waves to Dunno from the ground but Dunno shuns him. By this time, half the town still does not believe the balloon will be able to fly, but the balloon successfully rises off the ground, and all the shorties of Flower Town cheer. The day of the departure comes, and Doono, Dunno, and fourteen other Mites come on board. Everyone helps with preparations except for Dunno, who is too busy bossing everyone around and providing useless advice. The parachutes and other supplies are loaded, and sixteen seats are accommodated for. A large rubber balloon is then inflated, fastened to the basket, and filled with hot air. He and his friends begin extracting rubber, weaving the basket, and making emergency parachutes out of dandelions. The Adventures of Dunno and his Friendsĭoono proposes to build a hot air balloon and go on an adventure. In Nosov's universe, each shorty occupies his/her own niche in the community and is named accordingly. All fruits and vegetables growing in Flower City are, however, their regular size, so the Shorties invent sophisticated methods of growing and harvesting them. They are described to be sized like 'medium cucumbers', a quality that has earned them the name 'shorties' or 'mites'. The three fairy tale novels follow the adventures of the little fictional childlike people living in 'Flower City'.
