Volumul de față ne spune povestea celor doi protagoniști pe nume Kostea și Barankin care elevi de școală fiind în urma primirii unor note de doi, nu mai doresc să fie oameni deoarece consideră că este prea greu să fii om. Așa că inventează diverse formule magice și se transformă pe rând în păsări, fluturi și furnici, de fiecare dată conviși că aceste viețuitoare duc o viață mult mai bună ca a lor de oameni. Însă după o serie de peripeții în care păssări fiind scapă ca prin urechiile acului de pisica Musika (chiar a lui Barankin), fluturii fiind scapă de proprii colegi de școală care vor să-i prindă și furnici fiind scapă de alte furnici mai puternice, cei doi își doresc să fie din nou oameni. Ajunși din nou oameni, își stabilesc ca unic scop în viață învățătura și nu se mai dedau de la nici-o muncă fizică care până atunci ar fi făcut orice ca să o evite.

Esimese loo lugesin läbi ja see oli minule 25 aastasele päris huvitav lugemine. Ei saanud raamatut käest panna. Väga mõnus ajaveetmine. 😄
