Отрывок из книги
Once upon a time, there was a woman[1], and she baked five pies. And when they came out of the oven, they were very hard to eat. So she says to her daughter:
“Daughter, put the pies on the shelf and leave them there a little, and they will come again[2].” That is[3], the crust will become softer.
.....
“Here it is,” says she. And she gave it to him.
When the evening came, the knock came again to the window. The girl stood up and opened it, and there was the little old impet with five skeins of flax on his arm.
