The Mischievous Boy
[2] The film stars Abduraim Abduvahobov as Qoravoy, a ten-year-old boy whose restless nature leads him to deal with different people and life situations.In a town Qoravoy reaches by night a local man lets him stay in his barn on the condition that if the sick bull starts to die, the boy calls the owner and helps butcher it.But instead of the news, he tells a story similar to The Servant Maimundus: servants broke an expensive knife, when they were skinning bai's prized hound, who died from overeating meat of the bai's prized horse, who was worked to death carrying water to extinguish his house, which caught fire from a candle, which was lit over the corpse of his infant son, who fell from a tree.Qoravoy starts making a lot of money, he enjoys talking to the clients — mainly, well-educated people, although far down the slippery slope.The book has a happy ending — Qoravoy's mother is alive and well when he returns, while the film reflects more of Gʻafur Gʻulom's biography[citation needed].Aman's accusations feel unreasonable — but in the book he's been suffering from Qoravoy's pranks and many weeks of misfortunes, losing every job.It is unclear how and why Qoravoy makes a chillim explode — in the book he put a small flask of water in the coals to provoke Hoji Bobo to fire him.
