---------------------------
Three stories for younger school-children. A story "Ven'ka the cosmonaut" (pp. 29-54) tells about a boy Ven'ka who's dreaming to be a cosmonaut and his dog.
The boy loves to look into the sky, "watching the satellite with Laika". But he learns with horror from the adults that "Laika died, sacrificing herself to science."
