      Tales and Tidbits from the land of President Putin - Colin Daller

      VEGETABLES

      THE LANDLORD AND THE OLD PEASANT

      Once upon a time, there was an old peasant man who drove out to plow the field and plowed up a hoard of treasure – a whole cartful of gold. He brought the gold home and hid it. Then, he turned to his wife and said:

      Don’t you tell anyone about this, old woman! But he kept an eye on her just in case.

He took the pies and the blini pancakes along, too, but he sat the old woman facing backwards in the cart. As he drove, he scattered the pies along the road.

      The old woman saw the pies on the road and took up yelling: Hey, old man! Look at all these pies here!

      The old woman took to yelling: Hey, old man! Look at all these blini pancakes!

      The old man replied: "It must have been a blini - cloud that rained
