- How old are you? Mishutka asks.
- Ninety five. And you?
- I'm a hundred and forty. You know, - says Mishutka, - I used to be big big, like Uncle Borya, and then I became small.
- And I, - says Stasik, - at first I was small, and then I grew up big, and then I became small again, and now I will soon be big again.
“And when I was big, I could swim across the whole river,” says Mishutka.
- Wu! And I could swim across the sea!
Think of the sea! I swam across the ocean!
- I used to know how to fly!
- Well, fly!
- Now I can’t: I forgot how.

Mishutka thought. He wanted to lie to Stasik. He thought and thought and finally said:
- Once I was walking down the street. Around trams, cars, trucks ...
- I know I know! shouted Stasik. - Now tell me how the tram ran over you. You already lied about it.
- Nothing like this. I do not mean it.
- OK. Lie further.
“Here I go, I don’t touch anyone.” Suddenly there is a bus. I did not notice him, stepped on my foot - time! - and crushed into a cake.
– Ha ha ha! Here are the lies!
- And that's not bullshit!
How could you crush the bus?
- So he was very small, a toy. His boy was dragging him on a rope.
"Well, that's not surprising," said Stasik. “I flew to the moon once.
