"Then answer me a question-a riddle:\"POH Levkoy what Jacob fed his brother Isaac?" Masha, without hesitation replied,"lentil". Because he knew, and it was the most common food on their poor table. "Then answer: what did the brothers in the legend?" And then she said," They were shepherds". "So make me Shepherd's pie," said the Goblin.
