Summary

Award Winner at All-Union contest for best children`s literature in 1970! Magic cannot give you knowledge. Success cannot happen without knowledge. Once upon a time, there lived a boy named Khoshim, who did not want to study, help his mother with the housework. But one day this lazy boy finds a fabulous magic cap that could fulfil any desire of the owner. Full of confidence that with the help of a wonderful cap he will make a lot of heroic deeds and become famous all over the world, Khoshimjon goes to wander around the world. And what kind of tests, what adventures-dangerous and noble, funny and touching – did not happen to him until he finally realized that without difficulty, without knowledge, a person will not achieve anything. Uzbek writer Hudoyberdi Tukhtabayev lives and works in Tashkent. He writes books, articles and feuilletons. By profession and education, Hudoyberdi Tukhtabaev is a teacher. That is why, probably, the heroes of most of his books are children, and he knows how to tell about them alive and entertaining. The story "A Magic Cap" is the first book of the writer, translated into English. I hope that this story will bring readers a lot of happy and cheerful minutes.
