One day Badai contracted to make sheepskins for a lama. He promised a lot of fresh sweet cakes for the work. Badai worked for several days in a row, and his skins turned out to be soft and durable.
The lama began to accept work. He will take the skin in his hands, look and look, and then hit it against the fence.
- What are you doing, dear lama? - Badai was surprised.
“I’m checking to see if the skin is soft.” If it is hard, it will definitely knock. We all do this here.
The lama was pleased with Badai's work. He opened the box, rummaged through it for a long time, and finally pulled out a single flatbread. But what kind of cake was it! Old, dried out, wrinkled. Even strong dog fangs could not have chewed it up. Without hesitation, Badai Lama cracked this flatbread.
- Oh-oh-oh! - cried the lama. “What are you doing, wretch?”
— Checking to see if the flatbread is soft. They always check this at our house. Your flatbread is clattering. May your sheepskins always be as soft as this cake!
