Однажды монету нашел я в грязи.
И с этой монетой зашел в магазин.
Я взял себе бублик и сушку вдобавок
И деньги свои положил на прилавок
Взгянула на деньги мои продавщица:
- Эй, мальчик, монета твоя не годится.
Ты видишь – в монете большущая дырка!
- Ах, тетенька, это придирка!
И в сушке, и в бублике тоже есть дырка!
