40 devils and one green fly

For a ten-year-old boy, every day is a wonderful day! On Monday, you watched the swallows fluttering in the sky and wondered if they ate chocolate—it was terribly mysterious. On Tuesday, you caught a huge cicada and listened to its chirping—it was incredibly interesting. Wednesday... Who knows what Wednesday was? It must have been a wonderful day! If anything marred it, it was school.
Although, perhaps you were lucky and for you, school is a joy every weekday. You just had great teachers—like Giovanni Mosca, the author of this book. He remembers well what he was like—and that's why, ten years later, standing at the blackboard as a teacher, he can shoot a fly with a single shot from his slingshot. You'll never get bored with a teacher like that! Italian writer and journalist Giovanni Mosca recalls his childhood and his experience teaching fifth-graders. No matter what the era, his observations are precise and his words are true. He was a student in an ordinary Italian school in the 1910s, a teacher in the 1930s, and became famous in our country in the 1980s thanks to Gennady Khazanov and Yevgeny Morgunov in the film magazine "Yeralash." And now it's the 1910s again—and Mosca's school sketches are just as modern, captivating, and funny!
