At the time of the story, he was writing a serious scientific article, when suddenly a video phone rang. An ordinary goat appeared on the screen, he bleated and turned off.

The old man accompanying the animal said that the habitat of the dragon is the Reserve of fairy tales. The animal needed urgent medical attention. The old man introduced himself as Kusandra, assistant to Ivan Ivanovich Tsarevich (director of the reserve) on the economic side.
First suspicions
Alice noticed that Kusandra treated the dragon very badly. He constantly called the fairy-tale character and even kicked him. These maneuvers, of course, cost the old man dearly. The dragon was much larger than the person accompanying him, and the blows hurt Kusandra more than the animal. However, the old man claimed that he was very worried about the dragon’s health, and if he died, the reserve director would be very angry. Ivan Tsarevich himself, according to Kusandra, was at a scientific conference in the city of Timbuktu. Professor Seleznev carefully examined the dragon and said that he was healthy, there was only a slight runny nose. Alice's father wanted to give the animal general strengthening injections, but it turned out that the dragon was terribly afraid of pain. After that, Kusandra, together with an outlandish beast, went back to the Fairy-Tale Reserve. A summary of the story takes us back to Alice’s room, where a very unusual guest awaits her.

The gnome was called Sven. He was very grumpy and moody. Sven told Alice that the Fairytale Reserve had become a hotbed of an ominous conspiracy. The inhabitants of the fairy forest began to suspect that Ivan Ivanovich Tsarevich had not left for Timbuktu at all, but was the victim of an evil wizard, who in reality was Kusandra.
