So, the tale... the Young Mistress was sad. Not just sad, and SAD. For quite good reason – she was worried that she was a Bad Hostess. She loved her husband, considered him the best in the world. And blaming herself for the fact that it is impossible to farm, so the house was a little bit of money. The income of the family is more than modest – the Owner could not find a good job in this respect he was, quite frankly, unlucky. Young Mistress well sewed. She took orders and always on time time to fulfill them, but did not know how to be strict, and people used it, the customers didn't pay... well, the money was not found. The young Hostess came down: the husband comes tired and hungry, and it had nothing on the table to deliver. At the entrance basking in the sun Red cat. This.

He liked the Young Mistress – she always spoke to him affectionately scratched behind the ear, do not forget to buy something tasty. The young Hostess warmly greeted with cat, patted him on the head. Red cat followed her – he liked to accompany her. Today it was a sad, sad, the cat did not like it. She slammed the nose of the cat door, as did other people. No, she called him with me, crumbled in a bowl of bread and poured a bit of milk – all that's left in the Bank. Red cat realized – sausage, piece of fish, chicken wing today, but not upset, and hungrily began to eat Breakfast. He knew how to be grateful. Young Housewife went to wash. Well-fed and contented cat walked through the kitchen smells of kindness and love. These odors with nothing can not be confused, the cat lived a long time in such things was wonderful. He looked simple furnished: a table, bench, chairs, shelves – all the Owner made by himself. The cat loved to watch him when he is in the yard in the sun was making something. The owner was nice to the cat and never chased him out of the house, the cat came and went when he pleased. The window was draped with bright curtains, on lamps, lace lamp shades, everywhere beautiful towels, aprons, privatesky – all made by the skillful hands of a Young lady. In a tiny apartment clean, cozy. The cat climbed on the window sill – there were cans, jars, cartons and boxes. Cat listened and here were in the middle of the dispute. Loudly shouted the Beans: - the Most useful, most beautiful, most tasty – I! I – bigger than all of you! I, a foreigner, come from distant and beautiful of South America, here! I'm in charge here! - Think of it! - tried to argue with a stuck-up Lentils. – I – a foreigner, too! I grew up in the Mediterranean and in Asia Minor, Transcaucasia and Central Asia. I really appreciate and all the love!!! I – important! Then laughed aloud Peas: - How funny you are! Upstarts! Me cultivated since ancient times, I have Eastern origin, and of varieties do not count! An important and respectable Figure waited for a pause and resolutely said: - What nonsense!

People began to raise me almost 9 thousand years ago! There is nothing to argue. Main here – namely me!!! And Buckwheat, Semolina, Oatmeal and Barley kept quiet, they were too small to conduct such important debates – only a handful...

Listened-listened to the cat and shout to them: - Well, that's enough commotion! Home the kitchen is one who feeds a tasty their owners! That's what you bought! Slackers! That's what I see, mistress sad! Yes, you there ought! Well, do your work! All was silent ... Shamed their cat. And he began to command like a real cook: - come on, come on! Jumped on the stove a pot of water, slept together in the water, legumes, rice, cheerfully rustled the fire.

Have doctoral mistress, hung the Laundry, went into the kitchen, and there the work goes on! - What have I done! What I am scatterbrained! The pan on the fire put and forgot about it! What would happen? almost cried a Young woman. The cat spun around and purred quietly. Went to the vegetable drawer and sat on it. - Are you sure? - asked the hostess. Cat in response purred. - Well, okay! It is necessary to fix what I have done! And the hostess cleaned a couple of potatoes, an onion and a large carrot. All shredded, browned onions in butter and put in pan.

Added salt and spices. And when everything is cooked, removed the sample. - My God! Yes, it was delicious! And satisfying! What a wonderful bean soup we will have for dinner!

And a Young lady sat sewing at a window in a wonderful mood. Satisfied Red cat went into the street. Walked in with my purebred dog is a very important Neighbor.

What he is good and kind!", - the cat thought, watching the scene from a nearby tree and not forgetting roast setting in the Lai purebred dog. And the Owner took responsible for meeting an important Neighbor. They got there just in time, everything went the best way. And on the way back a Neighbor suggested the Owner work a personal driver and issued an advance payment. Long ago in a small apartment not been so much fun! Young Mistress with shining eyes, singing, trying on new very beautiful coat, all whirled and swirled it in front of the mirror. On the table in a vase adorned with a huge bouquet of roses. Here's a
