How to work with bitcoin keys?

There is a task. Create a wallet and put N amount of money into it.
After that, you need to transfer the public and private keys to another person in paper form (as a gift).
It is necessary that this person could easily install a bitcoin client (not the original one), and simply insert these two keys into the program in order to access the amount and display, for example, in wm.
I can create a wallet and throw money too, but how can I get this data from the key files and paste it back?
PS I use MutliBit

Your friend will be able to generate the public key if he has a private one.
So only the private key can be transferred.
Actually, transferring bitcoins in this way is not very reliable (after all, two people will know the private key and this may cause future conflicts), but if you really want to do just that, then use https://www.bitaddress.org - go in, move your mouse , then go to the Paper Wallet tab, generate a private key and print it out on a printer. On the right side (where Spend is) is the private key, on the left is the address where you deposit money.
Yes, transferring bitcoins to webmoney is not a good idea for people who do not have a verified webmoney passport. They can block the webmoney wallet and instead of a gift you will get a "Trojan horse". However, maybe that's what you need? :)
