Plot

Genka Sakhnenko studies at the school and works. But he, practically an adult and independent person, has one secret: after work, he climbs onto the dovecote. He has had a passion for pigeons since childhood. Genka is pleased with the work (he will even outwit his colleague, master Maxim Petrovich, who loves to take from tenants for work), but one day, having injured his hand, he ended up in the hospital, where he became friends with nurse Tanya. However, after a while, on the Komsomol voucher, Genka had to leave to work in another city, and he presented his pigeons to the first grader.[7]
