The Little Round Bun

Characters:

Author. Once upon a time there lived an old man and an old woman who had nothing to eat in the house, not even bread.
Grandpa. Grandma, dear, bake a tasty bun, please.
Grandma. With great pleasure. Now I'll bake a little round bun. Here it is. Look!
Grandpa. I like it. It is very nice, round and little. I think it is very tasty.
Grandma. You are right. But it is too hot now.
Grandpa. Put it on the window.
Grandma. OK.
Author. But the bun jumped out of the window and onto the bench outside, and from the bench onto the ground, and it rolled away along the road!
