Дети любят литературу и хорошо пишут сочинения. Услышав, что объявлен всемирный конкурс на лучшее сочинение, они решают принять в нём участие и пишут сочинение о том, что их школу хотят снести, а на её месте хотят построить военный завод, о том, как трудно живётся их родителям, как они бедны, но никогда не теряют бодрости духа и надежды. Сочинение ушло в Москву, и ребята с нетерпением ожидают решения. Но Футян не дождался ответа, он простудился и тяжело заболел. А так как на его лечение не было денег, маленький Футян умер, а вскоре пришёл и ответ — сочинению брата и сестры присуждена первая премия.
