Persimmon spoons

“Haven't I told you to eat with fork?” said Tigranik's mother when he took the frankfurter to his mouth.

“I'm a wild man, mummy,” explained the boy, “look, I've just come from the forest and I see fork for the first time.”

“You eat the cake with spoon, OK? Look at you! Just a look at your shirt or your mug is enough to guess what we had for dinner.”

Now Tigranik is a panther. He is moaning and jumping from table to table.

“This panther will now eat us”, the dishes got afraid.

The spoons and knives got so much scared that they got into the persimmon stone. You probably do not believe me. Then just break a persimmon stone and peep into it.
