A grandmother, leaving home briefly on errands, entrusts her granddaughter Zhenya with watching the dough for a holiday pie. Zhenya delegates the task to her younger brother Kolya, who delegates it to Druzhok, the dog to Murlyka, the kitten to Myshonok, and the latter simply hides in a hole. As a result, the dough escapes right before the eyes of the grandmother upon her return. Each character blames not themselves, but the person they entrusted with watching the dough. Of course, grandma rightly considers Zhenya to be the main culprit.
