Pig Story, or The Adventures of Ryukha and Tapa

Once the Zhvanetsky, with whom we met in the Crimea, asked me with sadness in my voice: Tell me, but have you ever written one fairy tale in life? I also admitted him sadly: No ... So, we are not real writers with you. This should write at least one fairy tale. So, even Lion Tolstoy and that fairy tales wrote, although it was so serious, said Zhvanetsky. The word "fairy tale" is very accurate in Russian. In it, two parts: "tale" - what affects, and the ending - "ka", which meant "soul". It turns out - "spiritual tale". And so far in Russian, this is an animated "ka" is added to the names: Bear, Lenka ... Notice, in other languages ​​it is not. It is especially important not to forget that there are not only folk tales, but also the modern people who write good people. It is that such fairy tales include "adventures of Tapas and Ryuhi. It would seem that the fairy tale about the beasts. No. She is about us with you. Why do you write about animals? And because beasts are kinder than humans. They never fight, do not kill because of oil and due to profits. Screamers, hypocrites and traitors, they never happen too. I have a familiar hunter, about which my father said: Of course he is good! He also grew among the animals ... "In antiquity, the beasts brought from Africa to the Roman Colosseum to the public did not want to fight with each other. They just did not understand what they want from them. They completely absent hate each other. And only when they began to feed the "human meal" and periodically beaten with sticks, they were woken by aggression, so characteristic of people. The author "Tapas and Ryuhi" came up with cute, on "Cheburashi" charming heroes that definitely like me. But most of all I like the fact that the fairy tale is written with humor. Or rather, with a sense of humor, so thin that those who are brought up by television can not notice it
