Объяснение
A tale is an imaginative, adventurous work of art. A folk tale has passed from mouth to mouth and its author is unknown. A literary tale has a known author. Tales often begin with “Bor ekan, yo‘q ekan” (There was and there was not). In the Uzbek folk tale “Shirin uyqu” in the textbook three sons understand their father’s last wish in different ways. We read our own tale.
Примеры
“The red apple”. There once was and was not a village with three friends. On the road they found one big red apple. The first said: “I will eat it, I saw it first.” The second said: “No, I will eat it, I picked it up.” The third said: “Let us eat it together.” They shared the apple equally and it tasted very sweet.
Conclusion: food that is shared tastes sweet.
