It became boring for them to live like that. We decided to get a vegetable garden. They fiddled with it all day. They really liked that time flew by quickly and it became not boring at all. It's time to sow the seeds. The grandfather did not entrust such a serious matter to his grandmother. I went to the market myself and bought everything. I decided not to call my grandmother, but to sow the seeds myself. But he stumbled, and all the seeds scattered throughout the garden.
The grandfather came home gloomy. And he says: "How now to find where the carrots are and where the beets are!" "Don't worry, grandfather," said the grandmother, "the time will come, we'll guess for ourselves."
So autumn has come, it's time to harvest. The old man and the old woman are watching, and the vegetables are all so beautiful and ripe. But they argue with each other, which of them is better and more useful.
I am a tomato, I make a delicious tomato. I am the best.
And I am the most useful. I am a bow, I save ailments from all.
But no. I am also rich in vitamins. I am a sweet and delicious pumpkin, and I am also very bright and beautiful.
You are not the only one who shines with beauty. I am a red carrot, I am a beautiful girl. Healthy and tasty, everyone really likes it.
The vegetables argued for a long time, until the grandfather and grandmother said: "All of you are important, important and useful. We will collect all of you, we will not leave anyone in the garden. Some will go into porridge, some will go to soup, and many of you are raw edible and very tasty. Vegetables were delighted, laughed and clapped. "

So, a therapeutic tale about vegetables may be as follows. Katya, as usual, stayed with her grandmother during the summer holidays. She really liked this village. The bright and warm sun always cheered up, and in the clean river you could always swim to your heart's content. Only now Katya was very often capricious and did not obey her grandmother. She did not want to eat cooked meals made from vegetables and fruits. The girl refused to eat them and said: “I don’t want this, I won’t. I don’t eat this green one, but take this red one away”. And stuff like that. Of course, this greatly upset the grandmother, because she tried so hard for her beloved granddaughter. But Katenka could not help herself.

Not true, I am the most important! - said a beautiful orange carrot. You can't even imagine how much beta-carotene - a super vitamin in me. It is good for vision.
Hmm, - thought Katya, - probably, grandmother loves carrots very much, since she still knits and reads without glasses.
Meanwhile, the vegetables continued to argue:
Dear girlfriend, - the pumpkin joined in the conversation, - do not think that you alone are rich in beta-carotene. I have enough of it in me too. I help people cope with autumn ailments. And I also contain vitamin C.
I also have such a vitamin, - the red pepper answered playfully, - I have much more of it than citrus fruits.
No, guys, you are, of course, important, but I am still the most important! - said the broccoli. - You can eat me not only boiled, fried or stewed, but also raw. I contain the most useful vitamins... And the soup I make is excellent.
Friends, of course you are all right, but without me the dishes are not so tasty. - said the onion in a bass voice, - and I can cure a person from various diseases.
And then the vegetables noticed that someone was watching them, and immediately stopped their argument, as if they were not talking at all.
These are miracles! - Katenka said quietly. - And then the grandmother called her granddaughter to eat. Katya realized that she was very hungry and ran to wash her hands. When the girl saw that she was expected for breakfast pumpkin porridge, I was very happy. She wanted to try all the vegetables herself and choose which of them is more important and tastier. Katya decided that now she would be happy to eat grandma's salads and cereals and would become beautiful and healthy.

" In Russia, tomatoes have long been called "mad berries". 3rd place: Since 1991, carrots are considered a fruit in Europe. Within the EEC, no one else dares to call it a vegetable or root crop.

However, they did not like her there, because they considered her a symbol of quarrels and gossip. Beets came to Russia from Byzantium in the 10th century.

Onion in ancient Greece it was considered a sacred plant. The bulb was perceived as a symbol of the structure of the universe. Everyone in Greece ate onions, both the poor and the aristocrats.

It was believed that this way they would not appear again in the spring. What do a horse and a head of cabbage have in common? cabbage... They drink water equally greedily!
