A GRANDPA: Can you wipe the shelves carefully; maybe there you will find one or two scoops of flour.

AN AUTHOR: When the roll was ready, the grandma took him from the oven and placed on the windowsill.

 

A GRANDMA: Look, grandpa, how lovely our roll is.

 

A GRANDPA: It is lovely.

 

AN AUTHOR: Agreed the grandpa. The roll heard everything what the grandma and the grandpa said about him and so he became very proud. After some time the roll was bored to lie on the windowsill. Nobody said anything nice about him anymore, so the roll decided to jump outside and have a look, what is going on around.

 

A ROLL: Maybe somebody else will notice how unique I am!

 

AN AUTHOR: The roll was thinking while rolling into the forest. Here is the hare going towards the roll.

 

A HARE: Hi, little roll, I am going to eat you!

 

A ROLL: Don't eat me hare, I will sing you a wonderful song.

Made from sour cream and milk,

I'm shiny like silk.

A WOLF: Unbelievable! I didn't bite even a small piece of that tasty roll. U-u-u-u he is very smart! Next time I'm not going to listen to any stupid songs; I will bite and eat, eat and eat.

A BEAR: He cheated me!? I'm silly; I'm fool! And I am still hungry! Well, little cheater, don't meet me again; otherwise I will swallow you without saying anything, just "um, um"!!! And that's it!
