does their son, Velik (Velimir) Kotov, dream of? More than anything in the world, he wants to become a brave captain. But can a captain have such a funny name as Velik?

And Velik has a true captain's character. He is not afraid of difficulties and is always ready to acknowledge his mistakes. Moreover, Velik has learned Sinhala and found friends among the local boys. Together with the fisherman Madu, he saved turtle hatchlings from poachers, revived the elephant Lila and became an indispensable assistant at the lighthouse. But Velik could not even imagine what gift he would receive on his birthday...
