(Russian) Руководство для бездомных кабанов
Что, если однажды проснувшись утром, вы обнаружите, что ваш дом пропал? Не волнуйтесь, на этот случай вот вам руководство по выживанию в виде книги с картинками, в которой с юмором описываются приключения бездомной семьи диких кабанов в большом городе.
(English) A Guide for Homeless Wild Boars
What would you do if you found your home missing when you got up one morning? (And suppose you are a mother wild boar with three children.) You don't need to worry about it too much. Someone has left a book for you and other homeless wild boars, out of concern that wild boars who often lose their home in one night might disappear all at once. The book is called A Guide for Homeless Wild Boars. Do not be flustered and set out to find your new home. Because you are wild boars who do not need extravagant household goods or complicated packaging and moving. You may rest anytime when you get tired, but you still need to be careful. A city is a complicated place where not a single day passes by peacefully. The wild boar family goes around the city bravely and finally finds their new home. Readers are driven to follow their interesting journey. But it makes us feel quite sad and uncomfortable for some reasons. Is this guide only for wild boars? The author Kwon Jungmin hopes this book survives as long as possible in this small earth and becomes useful for every species that wants to live happy lives.
