Magic Skates

It seems that nine-year-old Kostya is about to have the most boring winter holidays of his life: he was sent to visit his grandfather. Grandpa is, of course, a good man, and it is interesting to spend time with him in the summer. But what to do in the winter? After all, he doesn’t have a console, and there are very few channels on the TV... And Kostya never made any friends in his grandfather’s town.

So when the grandfather, in order to keep his grandson busy, hands him his old skates and sends him to the box near the house - to skate and meet the guys - Kostya reluctantly agrees. But at the rink it turns out: grandfather's skates are some kind of unusual, in them Kostya not only confidently glides on the ice, but can skate no worse than a professional hockey player! What kind of magic is this? Where did grandfather get these skates and who did they belong to before?.. And maybe, thanks to the magic skates, Kostya will not only make friends with the local kids, but also take part in a real hockey match with them?
