Once upon a time there lived a cat. He was fat and very beautiful. He was very clever, too. And his name was Cleverouster. But he was not a very good and kind cat. He always shoved off and was a real boaster. And everybody called him “Boaster-Cleverouster”. He offended animals, called them silly and never helped anybody. That is why animals didn’t like him at all. He was sure that he could do everything himself and he didn’t want to become friends with anybody because he thought they were not enough clever for him.

One day he walked along the street breathing fresh air. Suddenly he saw a group of animals discussing something interesting. He came closer and heard rather important news. They said that some fantastic and magic book of knowledge was brought to a “Cleverland”.

Cleverouster knew about this land of knowledge. But it was very difficult to get there. Cleverouster understood that it was his chance to become Cleverer. He wanted to get this book to be the cleverest cat in the world. He had to try. He took some food and drinks, a rain coat and map of Cleverland. So he started to go. He went and went and went. He went through the deep forest and high hills, he passed great valley and came to the field. Also he met different animals and birds. He sat on the grass, ate a sandwich and decided to sleep a bit, because he was very tired. Suddenly he heard some noise. He turned back and saw a little grey mouse. She came up to him and said “Dear Mr. Cat, could you help me? You are big and clever and I’m little and very weak. I heed some place to live, but I can’t dig a hole, for me and my family. And later I would help you. A cat couldn’t believe his eyes. A mouse came to him to ask for help! So he said “Go away, you, mouse. How could you break my dream? Your house is your problem. Go away or I’ll eat you and all your family and you won’t need any house. The mouse went away. The cat fell asleep again, but soon he was woken up by a strange noise. He opened his eyes and looked around. He saw nobody. The strange noise appeared again, but now Cleverouster understood where it was coming from. It was above him, high up on the tree. He looked in that direction and saw an owl there. The owl said “ Could you help me ? I lost my glasses and I can’t see well without them. Then I would help you.”

“Stop troubling me. I have more serious problems and I’m going to solve them. Go away.” The owl flew away. He continued his trip to the Cleverland and soon he saw the red roofs of it’s houses. He came closer and saw the gates. The gates were closed. Nobody was seen around. He tried to open the gates, but it was locked. He needed a key to open it. He knocked the gates and saw the guard coming from the house, which was built near the gates. The guard said “ Why are you troubling us?”-“I want to read the book of knowledge.” The guard said “If you have a key of a keeper Clever mouse you may come in Another way you may try to find it. The cat remembered the mouse and wanted to visit her. Cleverouster became angry and didn’t want to go back, but he has to. He ran quickly and very soon saw the field of his “camp”. He called for the mouse and she appeared in some time. Cleverouster said “Dear mouse, can you help me? I know that you have a key from the gates of Cleverland. Could you give it to me?”- No, I can’t give it to you. – “Why?” Asked the cat. “ I offended you, but I’m really sorry. What can I do for you?” The mouse asked him to dig a hole in the ground to find her house littered the ground. The key was there . The cat agreed and they started to dig. Soon they found a small room and the mouse brought the key to Cleverouser. They thanked each other and he went to the gates. He opened them and got to the Cleverland. Cleverouster went along the street and found a shining building with a writing “Cleverhouse”. He thought “Here it is!” He tried to open the door, but it was again closed. Then he knocked at the door and a dog came to his place from one of the houses. He said “What do you want?” The cat answered “I want to get to the Cleverhouse and to read the book of knowledge.” So you need the key of the second keeper-Cleverowl” –was the answer. Cleverouster asked “She is the owl which lives in the field on the big tree?” Cleverouster thanked him and again ran quickly. At last he saw the owl’s tree. He said “ Dear owl. I need your help. Where are you?” She said “ Who is there?”- “ It’s me Cleverouster. I came to help you with your glasses. The owl said “ I wore them here, at last”. They were looking for the glasses for two hours and tired went to owl’s home. At sunset Cleverhouster saw a shining object on a branch. The owl didn’t see it. Cleverouster climbed up the tree and took the glasses. He jumped down and the owl began to look for the key, which Cleverouster looked for. The owl found and gave it to Cleverouster and they both were happy. Cleverouster ran to the Cleverland again, but the owl decided to look at the book, too. Cleverouster agreed with her. Also they decided to invite Clevermouse there. Sometime later they appeared to the Cleverland. Cleverouster opened the door of Cleverhouse and they came in. They saw a glass box with the magic book. Cleverouster saw three holes near the box. They were in the shape of three marks : mark of mouse’s paw, mark of owl’s feather and a mark of cat’s paw. They touched them and the box unlocked. Clever owl put on her glasses and read for her new friends. The book was very thin and they were surprised. There was only one text. ” Nobody can know everything . But a very clever animal knows less than three normal animals. And if you want to know more, you may speak to you friends and read books.” The owl asked “ Is that all?” Cleverouster said “I went so much only for the book with one page?” But really, now he had friends, that were clever, too. They left the book, closed the house and went away. When Cleverouster came home it was difficult for him to make friends with, but at last animals saw, that he really changed. Sometimes, Cleverouster visits clever mouse and clever owl and they are talking about the past. Now Cleverouster has many friends and never shows off.
