     FANTASY


Tale of the Bight - Perfect Fool and mantissa

(C) SLENDER


   In the kingdom of the processor, in Sinklernom state in a 
simple peasant family lived a byte, and called him a fool.


   All bytes are working bits prokruchirayut, information
zaksorivayut and Bayt Fool is currently on the stack so hateful 
to the height glancing at all.


   Long or a short a, but after a few cycles of tears
Byte-Fool on the stack and said: "I'm tired I wallow in the 
stack, I want the world to walk, to show yourself so other

look.

   Byte walked, walked, so visit that lives somewhere Mantissa
Beautiful, but where exactly, only the Great Register Battery
knows.

   Decided our Bight, which will leave it to this register yes 
no Mantissa Belle did not return.


   No sooner said than done. Shel Bight - Fool, through da flow
to move from port to port jumping: seen in
English port Kempstoune hell broke his leg, and Zetiks
Elprinte - the horns broken off. Byte hell yeah sorry he went 
on. 

   But at last, and lock the Great Register of the battery.

   Became Bytes gate knocking. On the third day opened the gate,
clambered out three good lad so without further ado otpinali
Byte-Mutt, and then say: "What are you, stupid, lomishsya in
Gates thrash! I must say the magic word, and not gouge without
confused, and then jumped as how to jump out from your bit for 
bit is not stay! "


   Although Bight and the Fool was so clever. He asks good
young men: "Oh, you the other art Thou, O good fellows! pity on 
me, sirotinushku tell me this word, and I'll open the gate, why

you bother! "

   "And the thing! Well, the magic word -" Elde.

   Glad Bight, said door magic word yes to the Register
Battery and entered.

   B Battery Pack explained the matter, asked where he
Mantissa Beautiful find.

   Thought battery, and said: "Yeah, you is not easy, Byte,
will be, I would say tough. Mantissa your beloved in
held captive by an evil Calculator Built and difficult road for 
him and tedious. Only with its own stack kalkulyatornogo thereto

you can get, and this should be done cautiously. Well, I'll 
help you. But remember! Cycle will be 12 times, all disappear 
at the same hour. " 

   Said battery is a spell, and was unknown in the Bight
kalkulyatornom empire: around the desert, and the middle plate:

   "Everyone passes by sprites: Sprite: DO NOT GIVE YOURSELF
Wither! "

   And another:

   "Everyone passes by bytes: Byte of here!"

   But we did not know how to read byte and went on to his 
goals. Long was Bayt Fool, and then only with him did: and in 
half folded, and the unit was added and divided by zero, and

degree erected, but only all he endured and mantissa of its
captivity, was rescued.

   ... Why, at that time just 12 cycles have passed and gone
All kalkulyatornoe kingdom with mantissa Beautiful.

   Proved bytes there, where you came from, but just then on 
his own stack space vacant. Climbed our Bayt Fool on the stack 
and become to live - happily ever after.


   A Belle of the mantissa is not sad, because it turned out
Mantissa to verify not mouse, not little animals, and an unknown
Frog in a word, a complete zero.

   What trust after this people!
