Two girls living in a children's colony discuss the times we live in – a fictional conversation that presents us with a view of the adult world as seen through eyes of innocence. In this story, the city child Cherub tells colon child Bun about the sad reality of the world beyond the mountains, to make her understand why she neve wants to grow up. The tender, pure soul of little Cherub could never have survived in the harsh, unjust realit of that world, but she tries to convince the good, strong Bun that it's her duty to fight the evil outside the colony for the sake of future generations of children. It's essential, says Cherub, that all the children of this worl should disempower the adults in order to create a fairer human society – a world worth living in. Bun is to try to establish a new world order in which the innocence of the children's world remains inviolable.
