Balbi, age 5

Responds to the Russian folk tale Baba Yaga:

Why did the gates, the servant girl, the big dog, and the thin black cat help Natasha escape?
Balbi: The gates, the servant girl, the big dog and the thin black cat helped Natasha escape because Natasha fed the cat, the servant girl, and the black cat cheese bread and meat, compared to hardly anything at all.

Why did Natasha's small gifts mean so much?
Balbi: The story was, in my opinion, was very funny and is good for all readers.

Comments?
Balbi: It was good.
