How Senya told a fairy tales to a kids. A story.


Senya came with the kids at the cafe.

He bought to each a Cup of tea.

The children drank some tea and asked Senya to tell the fairy tale.

Senya showed onto a shelf behind the glass with a samples of goods and with a price tags:

- "We will come to this cafe in a month and prices here will not rise... If they grow up, only a few percent... imperceptibly …".

Kids laughed.

- "In a month this cafe will expand. There will be a glass wall between the visitors and the service room. Behind the glass wall  a hundred new employees of cafe will sit - graduates of universities - behind computers. They will develop, invent a new drinks, a new types of food, a new design of cakes.

Visitors will have an improved appetite and a nice mood when looking at these happy young employees.

Each of the employees will watch the faces of visitors - and will create an increasingly tasty, an increasingly natural, an increasingly useful and an increasingly cheaper types of drinks and food.

Each of the employees of this cafe will receive a salary - one hundred thousand dollars a month."

The children listened to Senya with delight and laughed louder.

One of the kids suggested:

- "Can I go to buy a little pie? To a tea? We 'll divide it for everyone."

Senya counted the remaining money (that remained after week with a huge expenses) and nodded as a sign of consent.

A minute later, two little cakes appeared - one with a jam, the other with a sweet curd.

Senya didn 't have time to say anything as the cakes were eaten.

- “From you additionally...”, - the voice of the employee of a cafe was heard.

Senya looked hard for money in his pockets:

- "Children! Quickly look, who of you have a money with yourself", - Senya commanded.

The kids found coins in their pockets obediently and handed them to Senya.

Senya, with a light exhale, paid for a second, unplanned, pie.

- “Today, children, our visit to a cafe is over!”

All with a good mood and a laugh went out the cafe.

Fairy tales ended. But there were a delicious prospects.
