Pot of fat.

Pot of fat.

There Was an Old Couple. One Saturday evening in the autumn, after the holidays, the old man lay down and fell asleep, and the old woman began to melt fat. It stands at the stove itself, constantly peering into the pot. The house is quiet. I thought the old woman about domestic affairs. Poverty pitch for the winter firewood is not stocked, the old man zipunishko quite worn out, and here and she was sick - all pricks under the heart, although it is an old man about it and do not stutter to nothing is not upset. That's just all hope for fat. It will spread it to a pot and go from house to house to sell. It is worth thinking old woman and suddenly sees from under the stove stretched thin children's pen froze, as if asking for something. And though the old woman was very frightened, but got greaves and put into a small palm. The hand disappeared. Following this, the old woman began to pour the fat from the pot into small pots and - lo and behold! - notes that the fat in the pot does not decrease. She had already filled with fat all their pots, mugs, plates, and all the fat does not decrease. All filled buckets emptied drums and poured to the fat, and in a pot that furnace all as fully inexhaustible source, and only.

Suddenly the old man woke up. Saw that the time was past midnight, and the old woman still does not sleep, got up to look, what she was busy.

And all the old woman pours the melted fat. Then the old man became angry and cried out:

- What you can do with fat? Soon the morning, and you're still not finished. Maybe it'll end at last?

The old woman clasped her hands:

- lost! I was in the house of grace, and you drove it. You see, all this has given us shreytele, and now, after your words ended grace.

Rights was an old woman. The fat in the pot over. But that managed to collect an old woman has got to help out a lot of money for a fat old man and buy a fur coat, to prepare for the winter firewood and other supplies.

Long after that recalled the old man and the old woman good shreytele that way so they helped.
