There was a city where a baker lived; he was the baker of the city, and he had a great, great oven, and his oven was as big as a kitchen.  One night the baker brought out all his ingredients; he carried out several bags of flour from the storeroom and brought in water, salt, and baking powder, and he prepared to knead the dough in a basin that could hold twenty people. He climbed into the basin, the dough was as high as his shoulders, he kneaded the dough with both hands and feet, finally, he sprinkled some flour and rolled the dough into a large piece, now a large oblong bread took shape, it continued to ferment and swell. The baker brought a lot of firewood in his wheelbarrow, which he used to build a wall around the bread, and then lit a fire that was so hot that even the neighbor lying in bed next door began to sweat. The next morning, the fire was out and the bread was baked. Very good, the baker said to himself. He wrapped a rope around the bread, put the rope on his horse, then mounted his horse and ran from the kitchen through the gate, dragging the bread behind him.  When he reached a square, he stopped and called all the hungry people to gather. He said, "I have baked a loaf of bread for you, eat as much as you like! And those people ate until they were full. The children also climbed up and down on the bread, which still looked almost as big as the original. The baker took a look and mounted his horse again, and this time he dragged the bread to the orphanage. He said: I have baked a loaf of bread for you. The children ate it desperately and ate it until they could eat no more. Even though the dean also ate it and kept a big piece for the next few days, the bread still didn't get smaller. So the baker jumped on his horse again, and this time he came to the prison and asked the prisoners to eat as much as they liked. The prisoners and guards ate the bread and tore off a large piece, but the bread did not seem to get any smaller.  In the evening, the baker returned to the square. All the men were full, and they stood around the bread and talked. At this time the baker asked his horse to eat the bread too.  Late at night, a blonde woman came to the square and said to the baker: "Please! Give me some bread, I'm hungry. The woman was so beautiful that the baker couldn't help but hug her and kiss her. He gave her the bread, then the two of them took off their clothes and together they dug a big hole in the softer part of the bread, after which they got into the bread together, laughed and joked inside, and finally slept together. When the next day dawned, the two of them were very hungry, so hungry that they ate the whole bread.  If you chew a bite of bread for a long time, the bread will have a sweet taste. If you pronounce a word for a long time, it will become very strange in. For example, bread was originally bread, but "bread bread bread bread bread bread bread bread bread bread bread bread bread bread ......" suddenly becomes nothing, or becomes something completely different. When a word sounds very, very strange, you take a few deep breaths, don't move for a while, and wait for the bread to turn back into bread.

  Bedtime Stories for Children Part 42

  The lion's brilliant plan Once upon a time in the forest three bulls were brothers. Each of them was huge, but none of them was very smart. When a lion came, all the animals fled, but the bulls stood still. They stood shoulder to shoulder when the lion roared, they roared together, and three bulls roared together. The lion estimated that he could not beat the three bulls, so he turned away.  However, it remembered this shame, and from that day onwards, it has been thinking of ways to deal with the three bulls. Finally, it came up with a solution. So it ran over to the mountain, and it made a tempting suggestion to one of the bulls: "Why do you want to share the green grass of the mountain with the other two bulls? You should ask the farmer to take your cousin to work so that you can have this tender grass all to yourself."  "Huh, that sounds like a good idea." The stupid bull accepted such a suggestion.  So, when the farmer came to catch the bull, the bull did not inform his companion, and the farmer caught a bull. The next day, when the farmer came to catch the bull again, the bull once again did not inform his companions. Now the mountain, which was full of fragrant green grass, belonged to him alone, and he danced with joy. Now he felt like he was in the land of the mountains.  Finally, when the forest lion appeared, it waved to the lion in a friendly manner. But finally, it realized that it had betrayed its two cousins, and although the mountain was its own, it had become food for the lions.
