Sausage and Nail

In one workshop in the house of old carpenter
Sausage and Nail lived, fate brought them together.
Sausage was tasty, juicy and appetizing,
Nail was straight, hard and unshakable.

Once Sausage was sad and despondent,
She said: "I'm afraid of being eaten!"
Nail smiled and wisely answered her:
"Don't be afraid, everyone has a role in the universe.
You are Sausage, you are made to be tasty,
Your destiny is to bring joy and pleasure to someone.
And I am Nail, I was created for construction and repair,
My mission is to keep the boards together."

Sausage thought and understood the meaning of these words,
She smiled and said: "You're right, Nail!
Together we can create something strong and beautiful
We need to combine your hardness and my taste!"

So Sausage and Nail united into one entity,
Nail was inside Sausage, but outside it was invisible.
Everyone thought that it was an ordinary tasty Sausage,
Although inside she had a strong vital core now.

No one will forget the day when some old lady
Bought Sausage to eat for breakfast with tea.
She could break her teeth on hidden inside Nail,
But old woman wanted to swallow Sausage in one fell swoop.

This is where our story unfortunately ends,
Like the life path of unfortunate woman.
However, earlier she served as warden in concentration camp,
Therefore, perhaps all this did not happen by chance,
Although we don't know for sure, of course.
