Chapter one
Unpleasant conversation with grandmother. Mom is worried. Jack is in hot pursuit. A strange find in Professor Enotov's office. The mysterious disappearance of Ivan Germogenovich
At that hour, when my mother covered the table with a white tablecloth, and my grandmother was cutting bread for dinner, these very strange, amazing, incredible events happened. It was at this time that Karik and Valya were already flying high above the city into an unknown world, where their extraordinary adventures awaited.
- Here's dinner, - said the grandmother grumpily, - and the guys are chasing dogs somewhere. And where are they - I don’t know! .. They never come on time ... Before, when I was little ...
“Ah,” Mom said, “they didn't even have breakfast. Hungry, probably like wolves.
She went to the open window, lay down on the windowsill.
- Kari-i-i-hik! Wa-a-a-ala-me! - shouted mom. - Go to dinner!
- Well, of course, - grumbled the grandmother, - so they are in a hurry. They don't have time for dinner now. You call them to dinner, and they may be playing long jumps. They may not need dinner, but an ambulance.
- What other long jumps? And why would they need an ambulance?
“But you never know what can happen to naughty children,” said the grandmother.
She took a ball of wool, pulled knitting needles and a long, loose-fitting woolen stocking from the pocket of her apron. The knitting needles were wound in her hands, drawing a thick woolen thread from the ball.
- Do you know Valerik? - asked the grandmother.
- What Valerik?
- Yes, he is the only one in our yard ... a spoiled man. The son of the management. After all, what did he think ... He took out a large umbrella somewhere, made a parachute out of it and leapt from the balcony of the fifth floor, like an airborne paratrooper.
- So what?
- Nothing special. I caught my pants on the pipe and hung upside down. Hanging and yelling. They called, of course, an ambulance. The doctor looked and ran to call the fire brigade. It must have been hanging for half an hour ... Well, they took it off, of course. And he's all blue. Breathing hard. The doctor gave him a massage and an injection, but he should have been treated with a strap so that he would not indulge in more. That's how mischievous they are now ... When I was little ...
- Ah, - said my mother, - Karik and Valya will not jump with an umbrella. We don't even have an umbrella.
- Well, you know, guys can come up with something worse than an umbrella. Over there, in a neighboring yard, a scoundrel invented a submarine. He knocked it out of the barrel and sank into a pit of water. It's good that the janitor noticed the dive. Barely pumped out the mischievous man. And then recently, three more space rocket launched. One got his teeth knocked out, and the other two ...
“No, no,” Mom waved her hands. - Do not! And I don't want to listen ... Well, why are you really scaring me.
And she again went to the window and shouted again:
- Karik! Valya! Go to dinner!
- When I was little ... - the grandmother began.
Mom waved it off impatiently.
- Yes, you have already talked about this many times. They didn't tell you where they were going to go?
Grandmother chewed her lips angrily.
“When I was little,” she said, “I always said where I was going. And now such children grow up, they do what they want ... They want to go to the North Pole, or even to the South Pole ... Or, for example, they recently broadcast on the radio ...
- What, what were you passing on? Mom asked hastily.
- And nothing! Some boy has drowned! And then they passed it on.
Mom shuddered.
“Well,” she said, “this… this is nonsense! Karik and Valya won't go swimming!
“I don’t know, I don’t know,” the grandmother shook her head, “whether they bathe or not, I won’t say, but it’s just time to have dinner, but they’re all gone and gone. Where are they?
Mom ran her hand over her face. Without a word, she quickly left the dining room.
- When I was little ... - Grandma sighed.
But what my grandmother did when she was little, my mother did not know: she was already standing in the middle of the yard and, squinting her eyes from the sun, looked around. In the middle of the yard, on a yellow sand hill, lay Vali's green scoop, and Karik's faded skullcap lay next to it. And right there, stretching out all four paws, the fat red cat Anyuta was basking in the sun. He blinked lazily and stretched out his paws as if he wanted to give them to mom.
- Where are they, Anyuta?
The cat yawned sweetly, looked at mom with one eye and rolled over lazily onto its back.
- Well, where, where did they go? Mom muttered.
She walked around the courtyard, looked into the laundry room, and even looked into the dark windows of the basement where the wood was lying.
The guys were nowhere to be found.
- Ka-ari-ik! Mom shouted again.
Nobody responded.
- Wa-a-ala! - shouted mom.
"Av-av-woof-woof-gau-u!" - howled somewhere very close.
At the side entrance, a door slammed hard. A large, sharp-muzzled shepherd dog jumped out into the yard, dragging the thundering chain behind it. Fat cat Anyuta flew into the woodpile in one leap. "Shhh! He hissed, raising his paw. - Prosh-sh-shu not sh-sh-shu-be able to! "
The dog barked angrily at Anyuta, flew up the hill with acceleration and began to roll on the sand, raising thick columns of dust, then jumped up, shook himself off and rushed at his mother with a loud bark.
Mom jumped to the side.
- Back! It is forbidden! Go away! - she waved her hands.
- Jack! Tubo! To the leg! - came a loud voice from the entrance.
A fat man in sandals on his bare feet came out into the yard, waddling over, with a smoking cigarette in his hand. It was the tenant of the fourth floor - the photographer Schmidt.
- What are you, Jack? A? The fat man asked sternly and shook his fat finger. Jack wagged his tail guiltily. - What a fool! - the photographer laughed.
Feigning a yawn, Jack went up to the owner, sat down and, clinking with a chain, carefully scratched his neck with his hind paw.
- Good weather today, - the fat man smiled affably, addressing his mother. - You are not going to the dacha? It's time now - to collect fungi, fish.
Mom looked at the fat man, at the dog and said with displeasure:
- Again you let her out, comrade Schmidt, without a muzzle. After all, she's a real wolf. So he looks, how to snatch someone.
- Are you talking about Jack? - the fat man was surprised. - Well, what are you! My Jack will not touch the child. He's as meek as a dove. Want to pet him?
Mom waved her hand.
- Well, all I have to do is petting dogs. At home, dinner is getting cold, the rooms are not tidied up, and here I still can't get through to the guys ... And I don't understand where they disappeared. Ka-a-arik! Wa-a-ala! She screamed again.
- And you caress Jack, ask him well. Tell him: "Come on, Jack, find Karik and Valya as soon as possible." He will find them instantly.
Schmidt bent down to the dog and patted it on the neck.
- Will you find it, Jack?
Jack yelped softly and, suddenly jumping up, licked the photographer on the lips. The fat man staggered back, spat in disgust, and wiped his lips with his sleeve. Mom laughed.
“You’re laughing in vain,” Schmidt said. He seems very offended. - My Jack is a great bloodhound. Give him a sniff of something Karik or Vali, and he will find them wherever they are. This is an award-winning bloodhound. He follows in the footsteps of a man, like a steam locomotive on rails. Give him something: a children's toy, a shirt, a skullcap - and you yourself will see what a wonderful tracker he is.
