I'll tell you a fairy tale, how the vegetable friends lived, in Granny Sonya's garden and how little Lukonia saved them.
The vegetables grew together on their beds, everything would have been fine, everything would have been in order…
But one day disaster struck all the beds — a squad of caterpillars caused chaos.
Nothing frightens them, these green pests, who would want to fall into their clutches and be eaten?
The vegetables closed up and cried: "Shoo!"
But the sturdy onion boy wouldn't accept this.
He came to help in trouble, shielding all the vegetables with himself, how could he not help when the little ones cry for help?
The onion army stood proudly and roared fiercely, and showered the caterpillars with a green hail of onions.
These are the tears of onion—a bitter tear, these are the tears of onion—more bitter than a storm!
Oh, how it stung the caterpillars' eyes…
In a flash the caterpillar squad scattered…
And all the vegetables in the beds laughed, everyone was happy about the victory!!!
So Lukonia chased away the enemies, and his mum—Lukinia and his dad—Lukenya gave them a thrashing for good measure.
And from that day on, whoever offends the onion or any vegetable will cry bitter onion tears.
So our fairy tale has a happy ending, you've listened and understood everything? Then you're a clever one!
