Bottle and Carrot

Carrot was green in the garden,
She grew beautiful and juicy.
Beside her lay empty Bottle,
Which dreamed of new life and second chance.

One day a gardener passed by, he saw Carrot and Bottle.
He pulled Carrot out of the ground and picked up Bottle,
And decided to make their dreams come true.

Carrot was absolutely delicious,
The gardener added it to the vegetable stew,
Then he thoroughly washed Bottle
And poured his own wine into it.

Now Carrot has become part of delicious dinner,
She was praised as a gift of nature.
Bottle has become a container for a heady drink,
And besides, she was pleasing to the eye with her appearance.

So Carrot and Bottle found their place in life,
They have changed and acquired useful qualities.
They realized that everyone has a purpose in life.
Anyone could envy these ordinary-looking things.

The guests ate to their fill and all got drunk.
Dances began, during which Bottle was accidentally broken.
The owner without regret swept the fragments into a scoop
And threw them in trash, where Carrot peels were already lying.

This was the real end of Bottle and Carrot.
You are told not to be lazy to read the fine print in contracts,
But it is also important to read the last lines in the fables,
There you can find a lot of sadness,
For example, the real truth about the true ending of the story.

And sometimes they publish lottery ticket numbers there,
But not this time, not this time.
