It was a first book I read being a child. Nikolay Nosov "Dunno on tha Moon".
Jesus christ, what a bunch of dumb asses these guys are.
There is so much opportunity and they just won't take it.
Society squandering money and living in unnecessary luxury? Open a bank!
Rat infested barracks? Open a kebab shop!
What's there not to like?
But no, the duo goes out to eat in fancy resturangs and tries to rob them blind.
And then what, becoming a milionaire with salt but then failing to sell on time? mutherf*%#ng facepalm.
And then the giant fruit.
Did you ever buy really big giant fruit? And why not?
Because fruit rots. Big fruit rots big time.
By the end of the week your giant fruit will have become a giant pool of fermenting ooze.
I'm guessing the story doesnt mention me acquiring a monopoly on the idea of XL refrigerators but that is besides the point.
The point is, they really haven't got a clue and should have never left earth in the first place !
So i was thinking,.. maybe we can sell them some bitcoin....
but they won't buy it since it's such an obvious scam.

Interesting story.
I see elements of H.G. Wells "First Men In the Moon" there:
Two men build a space ship out of a material that negates gravity. They travel to the moon where the become separated. They discover insect like creatures living below the moons surface. They are captured and imprisoned, eventually escaping. However, in the H.G. Wells story, one boy brings gold that he discovered on the moon back to earth with him making him wealthy.
I noticed a bit from Pinocchio as well (sending the misbehaving boys to "Fools Island" which turns them into sheep").
For Pinocchio in Russia we have own story: Buratino.I see elements of H.G. Wells "First Men In the Moon" there:

It was a first book I read being a child. Nikolay Nosov "Dunno on tha Moon".
Znayka discovers that his moon rock (that he obtained from his previous travel to the Moon) creates a no gravity zone when interacting with a magnetic field. He uses this knowledge to build a rocket ship that will go to the moon much more easily because of being virtually weightless. However, Dunno and Ponchik are not allowed to go; Dunno, because of his undisciplined behavior, and Ponchik, because of his inability to cope with non-gravity effects. The night before the rocket launch, Dunno and Ponchik sneak into the ship and accidentally launch the rocket.
When they arrive on the moon, Dunno and Ponchik become separated and Dunno falls through a cave and discovers a whole separate society of mites living inside the moon. However, unlike on Earth, these mites do not have "giant food" (that is, their fruit and vegetables are sized in proportion to the mites, rather than to normal humans like on Earth). The moon society is a corrupt capitalistic state: the millionaires control all the factories and squander their money away on unnecessary luxuries, the police is violent, corrupt, and stupid, everyday citizens struggle to survive and live in rat infested barracks
.
Dunno gets thrown into jail for not having money to pay for his meal at a restaurant and is mistaken for a wanted criminal by the stupid police officers. In jail he meets Miga - a fast-talking schemer, and Kozlik - a poor, gentle worker. Upon getting released from jail, Miga introduces Kozlik and Dunno to Zhulio - another con man, and the four decide to start a company selling stocks to raise money to get "giant seeds" from Dunno's rocket ship and plant them on the moon. The stocks sell well and soon the four friends have lots of money.
However, some of the local millionaire businessmen are worried that giant food will mean that poor workers can get richer and the millionaires may lose money. Their leader, Spruts, convinces Miga and Zhulio to steal the money and run leaving Dunno and Kozlik jobless and penniless.
Meanwhile, Ponchik finds the same cave and also goes inside the moon. However, he quickly discovers salt and opens his own business making and selling it. He becomes a millionaire but then becomes bankrupt when the price of salt becomes too low. Then Ponchik becomes an average worker.
Dunno and Kozlik work odd jobs but are still starving and living in poverty in a rat infested basement. Kozlik gets bit by a rat and becomes sick. Just then, Dunno gets a job as a dog nanny for a rich woman and makes enough money for a doctor for Kozlik who slowly recovers, but the rich woman finds out that Dunno took her dogs to the rat infested basement and fires him. Dunno and Kozlik then end up living on the street. Since Kozlik has lost his hat and Dunno lost his shoes they are breaking the law and get sent to Fool's Island which has a toxic gas that turns all the people there into sheep which are then sheared for their wool.
Later Dunno's friends come to Moon with giant seeds, which results in elimination of poverty and establishment of a communism-like economical system.
Thats all folks. Sleep tight
