─── ANTI-FAIRY TALES ───
with morality on the way to the market
Anti-fairy tale is a conventional name for such
interpretations of popular fairy tales
one when it develops unconventionally and in
at the same time logically consistent.
PUSS IN BOOTS

boots to the Giant, - but this is something I can’t

To tell the truth, I think this is absolutely
absolutely impossible.
- Oh, that's how it is! Impossible? - resp-
grew the Giant. - Come on, look!
And in the same blink of an eye the Giant
ran into the mouse. The cat chased her, but
the mouse, giggling maliciously, flew away under the flood
lok, because it turned out to be volatile.
MORAL: If you want to achieve the right
execution of the order correctly, formulate
technical specifications may be more accurate.
CINDERELLA, or THE CRYSTAL Slipper
The prince ordered to announce publicly -
nie, to the sound of trumpets and fanfare, that the girl,
which will fit the crystal shoe -
chok, will become his wife.
Of course, first the shoe was given to me
to princesses, then duchesses, then
court ladies, but it was all in vain: he
was too small for duchesses, princesses, and
to the ladies of the court.
While it was Cinderella's turn,the nimble daughter of one maid of honor tried on a bash-
machok, and... that's the thing! She liked him
just right.
The prince got ready, reluctantly,
fulfill his promise, but could not: frey-
Lin's daughter has just turned
ten years.
MORAL: There is a set A of all
girls and lots of nubile B girls
age.
It is clear that B is a non-empty set,
i.e. it is the correct part of the multi-

- I’ll make fish soup out of this pike. Glorious
the soup will be fat!
And the pike splashed its tail in the bucket and
speaks in a human voice (where does she come from?
knew where she was headed):
- Release me, youngster, and I'll ma-
ke you a rich man!
Emelya, of course, did not understand anything and
ate pike.
MORAL: Knowledge of foreign languages
sometimes it can be of considerable benefit.

FLINT
...The Soldier opened the first door and entered
to the room. In the middle of the room there is a chest on
There is a dog sitting in the chest. Her eyes are like
two tea saucers...
“What a monster,” said the Soldier, grabbing
caught the dog and immediately put it on the witch's
apron
Here the dog became quiet, the Soldier opened
chest and let's take money from there. Nab-
bought himself pockets full of copper money,
dug the chest and again put the dog on it,
and he went into another room.
His pockets were large, like a soldier's
kiye - each with a capacity of about two litres-
ditch (cubic decimeters, that is). A
the uniform was quite worn out. This is

The other room was full

stuffed my backpack. The satchel was not big and not small
lazy: something like 20cubic dm. Groaning,
he barely dragged his burden into the third room -
that (note that the density of silver is 10.5
kg/cubic dm, and the backpack weighed a good 200 kg)...

The soldier poured silver money out of his backpack
and began to fill it with gold. And not only

That's about six hundred grams.
Move independently
The soldier, of course, could no longer do it. One was on-
hope - for the superhuman strength of the Witch,
that was supposed to pull him out of the dungeon
rope.
The witch strained and pulled out...

burst at the most crucial moment.
So the Soldier remained in the dungeon.
MORAL: To obtain a rational
it is not enough for profit to know the basics of political
economy (monetary function of metals to the Soldier
was well known): elementary information
knowledge of their natural sciences is also necessary.
KOLOBOK
Kolobok left both Grandmother and De-
darlings left. From the Bear and the Wolf - even more so
left. OnlyLisa didn’t manage to do it so easily
then leave.
The Fox lured him by cunning right to

he bit Kolobok... and spat it out: for now

The wolf ran around - it became completely callous.
MORAL: If you need to refresh your
