Far away in the Fruit Galaxy there is a planet called Montana.

Montana is a very beautiful planet. There are a lot of gardens where juicy fruit and berries grow. Beyond the gardens there are water meadows where the Montaners’ cows graze. Beyond the meadows there are mountains stretching far beyond the horizon. That is why the planet is called Montana (from an English word mountain). A million of rivers where people take crystal-clear water rise in the mountains. The planet’s air is always tinkling clear … And local people make the most delicious and healthy products.

Montik was born on this planet.

Montik was very kind and cheerful, that is why he had many friends. Together they played various games and learned about the world. Montik liked picking berries and fruit in the garden. Montik really liked to study, too. At school he got only excellent marks, read many books and always asked the adults about the things he was interested in.

Once Montik read in his favourite magazine that far away in the Milky Way Galaxy there was a planet called the Earth where a lot of boys and girls lived, went to school, played with friends and liked yummy things. Naturally, Montik got very interested in the Earth and he wanted to make friends with our boys and girls.

So once he took a basketful of products from his planet and came to the Earth. He quickly made friends with boys and girls, used to go to the beach and to the woods with them. The children liked that Montik was so kind, cheerful and clever. They taught him to play volleyball, football, basketball, badminton and Montik told them about Montana, how beautiful it was and how much different fruit was there, and how he had helped to pick them. He liked his staying on the Earth so much that he decided to stay here forever.

Since then Montik has lived on the Earth. He goes with our boys and girls to school and tells them his interesting stories. Montik’s parents send him and his friends delicious and healthy products from Montana.
