Eno Raud – The watchful stork (1983)

TWO MUSHROOMS

Once there grew two mushrooms side by side in the forest. One had a red cap and the other a brown on.
One day the red-capped mushroom asked the brown-capped one,
“Listen, friend, do you think mushrooms can talk?”
The brown-capped mushroom thought for a while, then laughed out loud and said,
“You'd better think before asking. How can mushrooms talk when they even cannot think!”
“You're quite right,” said the red cap. “Why didn't I think of it myself. A mushroom can be silly indeed!”
At these words the red cap began to giggle too, and so both of them giggled and laughed, laughed and giggled for quite a while. To tell the truth, they had a good time that afternoon.
