Scarecrow and his servant. I was a rat

“Scarecrow and his servant” - this story about how once old Pandolfo, who was annoyed by the birds, made an excellent stuffed animal.
And then the incredible happened - it came to life from a lightning strike. And then the scarecrow and his devoted servant, orphan Jack went on the road in search of good luck and earnings, in the hope of someday returning to the Valley of streams, which belonged to the scarecrow.
“I was a rat”-this is an echo of a fairy tale about Cinderella, who sounded in England of the 1920s.
Philip Pulman develops the famous plot in an unexpected direction. On the way, he manages to laugh at human hypocrisy and gambling and, in the end, comes to a wonderful and completely justified ending.
