Good afternoon, dear boys and girls!

I recently witnessed an interesting conversation; a friend of my granddaughter Sasha came to us, listened to our fairy tales and asked:

— Sasha, how do you and your grandfather make up fairy tales?

— We don't make anything up, — replied Sasha, — we only overhear what different things, insects, or animals say, translate into an understandable language and write it down.

— How is this?  — I don't understand girlfriend, give me an example!

— Yes please! Here, for example; do you hear what your left shoe is saying, even crying? The friend looked carefully at her feet, then at Sasha, and said confusedly:

— No.

— No, I don't hear, but is he saying something?

— Of course! Listen to him! He says, even sobbing: «Auntie! I serve you no worse than your right shoe, and why then did you tie a beautiful bow on it, and on me just like that, I'm ashamed to go out like this!

— Ay, you're making it up, he doesn't say anything, — said Tatyana, but she untied the lace and tied it with a beautiful bow. — well, what is he saying now?

— Now? Now he says nothing, but only smiles gratefully, don't you see?

— Well, to be honest, I don't see it, but I already understand how you and your grandfather write fairy tales. I'll go home, tell mum and dad, maybe we'll overhear something and write it down.

And what about you? Have you ever heard your favourite toys talking? Sometimes you can hear very interesting things!

That's how my granddaughter and I once heard what we thought was an interesting story from our neighbour's dog Arthur and decided to tell it to you.
