Once upon a time in a faraway country there lived an old-old lady                           named Mrs. PROFIT.  

And she had two grandsons who lived in the fairy tale overseas country.                                                   They were twins. Their names were TAXES.  They were very naughty                                          and they didn’t obey their Mum at home.

As the distance between their places was big, they didn’t meet each other              often.  When Mrs. PROFIT saw her grandsons last time, they were very little.

One summer time the beautiful young lady Mrs. NET INCOME took her twin-sons              to her mother in law.

There was another surprise for Mrs. PROFIT that summer, it was a sudden visit           of the boys’ cousin. It was a shy girl under the name INFLATION.

Like any granny, Mrs. PROFIT wanted to please the children                                            and took care of them properly.  She cooked tasty food for ever hungry kids, washed their clothes, read funny stories for them and even played with them in the nearest park.

At first Mrs. PROFIT was really happy to see her beloved grandchildren                       but soon she understood that she was really tired.                                                              AS she had to work more and harder, she lost her weight and became thin and skinny.                                                                                                                                                    But she didn’t pay much attention to her health.                                                                            She was too busy caring of her grandchildren.

In three months it was difficult to recognize the children.                                                 The twins TAXES and INFLATION became tall, big and even fat children                       with rosy plump cheeks.

In the end of summer the children’s parents took them home as it was time to go to school.

And then Mrs. PROFIT had enough time for relaxation.                                                                                               That autumn was unusually warm and sunny.                                                                        Mrs. PROFIT liked to go to the apple garden and spent a lot of time sitting in the shadow of the trees. Soon she felt well and she was as fit as a fiddle.                          That is the end of the fairy tale.
