Once upon a time, there lived a wealthy Russian man. One day he takes two bulls and a cow with him and asks his servant to follow him. On the steppe he tells his servant to kill the cow, fill its pelt with hay, and hide inside it. No sooner does the servant squeeze himself into the pelt than a huge birds grabs the pelt and flies to the top of a tall mountain. From there the servant tosses down precious pearls and corals for his old master.Sponsored by Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwi
