Piglets Do Not Fly

Marusya has a twin brother and no scruffy kitten. Marusya is allergic even to chickens. Marusya often gets sick and stays home with her grandmother. But sometimes, when her grandmother is busy, her dad takes Marusya with him to work. There, where there’s a real time machine! And one day Marusya comes back from her dad's work not alone, but with a piglet. A prehistoric one. And from that day on, Marusya's life begins to have such wonders that even the ghost of the count from the old wardrobe became envious.
