It was a cool morning in Tiny Flower Town where the Tiny People lived, all 16 of the shorty in the town/village would get up together, do their exercises, and sit down at a big communal table to eat before going out and picking fruits and vegetables, and considering everyone was small, the fruits and vegetables, grass, flowers, and insects were all bigger than them. Everyone was getting ready to eat, talking, and laughing.

The Moshka was talking to the Romashka. And it was obvious that everyone was waiting for only one thing. The Know-It-Alls.

"as always late, thought of something again"

smiling said Moshka, and Romashka nodded in response and also nodded and added

"and again, probably sat up late with his books"

finally, footsteps were heard from the upper floor and Dunno finally came down to everyone with a stack of books, put them next to him on the table and adjusted his glasses, smiling in a good mood, he slightly moved the books and began to eat with everyone.

Then, when everyone had eaten, all the shorties went together to collect the harvest, cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, a couple of cabbage leaves, apples, eggplants, and Dunno of course wanted to brag and in the end, instead of rolling the watermelon, the huge berry could not hold on and fell, rolling into the river, which Dunno blamed on the earthquake. Everyone came up, laughed and gasped in surprise, especially because the crayfish was on Dunno's nose

Znayka squeezed through the crowd and approached Dunno's bridge, using his hands to pull the crayfish away from Dunno's nose and release it back into the water

"Neznayka, we didn't have any earthquake. Tell me honestly, what did you want to brag about to everyone again and bring a watermelon, and now we'll have one less watermelon"

Everyone said something in agreement and left with Znayka, leaving Dunno alone on the bridge, continuing to carry vegetables and fruits together.

Evening came All the shorty were sitting in their houses and getting ready for bed after everyone had a friendly dinner, the sound of rain could be heard outside the windows of these houses

Znaika was sitting in his house on the first floor, the lamps were burning and everywhere, including on his desk, there were chemical devices and chemical glassware, books, diaries, papers, liquids and formulas, various notes of days on sheets of paper hanging on the wall, in general, a creative mess (but not quite), on the top floor was his bedroom, a bed, a chest with different clothes and objects, a large round window overlooking the street, a shelf with books, a nightstand with a small lamp, another, but more free of objects, table.

he checked the notes and adjusted his glasses that had slipped slightly off his nose with his finger, while simultaneously comparing the results with the book

"so... everything is correct here... and here too"

he sighed and stood up, walking around the room, again paying attention to the "moonstone" that Dunno had found. after an argument with Steklyashkin, which failed because the stone and magnet did not work, he got angry and muttered empty words to himself for the hundredth time

"No! No! And no! I will never do science again! No-no! And don't even think about it! Let someone else fly to the Moon! Let someone else find a carat on the Moon, and then everyone will say: Znayka was right. And everyone will be ashamed... Even Steklyashkin is ashamed"

He declared, putting his hands on the table, frowning out of habit, opening the book again and again and realizing that he was again reading something scientific, stood up again and almost hysterically objected to himself, throwing the book away

"No! Since I decided not to do science, then I will not! Never!"

he fell silent when he realized that the moonstone works during the full moon "Got it!" Suddenly someone knocked "Well, who's there? Who can't sleep?"

he asked, putting the stone on the table, taking off his glasses and wiping them for a moment.
