History unfolds in the city, where the village boy came to study. He studied only five, except French, where he was not given the pronunciation. The boy was sick with anemia and needed milk for treatment. To buy it, he started to play in money. He often won, but one day the guys beat him up for it. The teacher decided to help him, inviting him home, fed him dinner, but the boy was proud and refused. Then the teacher comes up with a game "zameryashki" to make money. The headmaster, having learned about this, considered it a crime and dismissed the teacher. But she does not forget about the boy and sends him parcels from the Kuban.
