Plot
editOn April Fools' Day in a Leningrad school, Vova Ryashentsev receives a note from his classmate, Masha Gavrikova, inviting him to the cinema. Masha, the author of the note, is a girl Vova likes very much. However, after consulting with a friend, he concludes that the invitation is a prank.
Later, Vova realizes he was wrong and persuades the entire class to take a pledge: the following day, everyone will speak only the truth and not tell a single lie. At first, this seems like a noble and important initiative. However, they soon discover that even with the best intentions, speaking the truth can hurt and offend others.
Their young homeroom teacher, Ariadna Nikolaevna, helps the students understand an important lesson: "Truth must always be spoken, but it does not absolve us from the need to be sensitive, tactful, and considerate toward one another. To be truthful is to be just, kind, and a truly good person."[4]
