How to lose weight? 1

Moon first
The night that promised me a meeting with the inhabitants of the dragon village, I was looking forward to. I waited so much that I got overexcited and could not fall asleep at all until three in the morning. Finally sleep overtook me. In the dream everything was so real, so real! The dragon boy was waiting for me, and shook his head reproachfully when I suggested that I finally go to the dragon village.

“I will fulfill your wish,” the dragon said soothingly, “however, you are in a hurry!” We dragons live long, so we try not to rush!

Life is a pleasant thing, we appreciate every moment and try to stretch the pleasure of life!

“However, it took me so long to fall asleep!” There were probably only a few minutes left before dawn,” I reminded me sadly, “if possible, let’s hurry up!”

“Everything you need to know, you will learn,” the dragon tapped his tail conciliatoryly, “and it doesn’t matter how many hours the teaching lasts!” You can flip through our books for at least a week, and in your bedroom the clock will move only one division!

“But, nevertheless,” I squirmed, “let’s do something!” I've waited so long for the night to come!

- You, yesterday before going to bed, dropped your hair from the comb, - the dragon suddenly changed the subject, - I picked up this hair and took it to my mother. Mom burned that hair on fire, and now we know all your problems. Hair showed all your diseases. One of the reasons you're not healthy is because you're in a hurry! This is exactly what I'm telling you, and just what you don't hear. Or don't want to hear! We won't move until you calm down!

Your heart is beating so feverishly that it even starts to beat my heart rate. Now I'll tell you something. During my story, you should calm down. Ready to listen?

The story I'm about to tell you happened a long time ago. My mother was then a little girl. There was such an emperor, he is now also called the yellow emperor, and that emperor bore the name of Huangdi. So, what I will tell you happened long before Huangdi was born. Eight centuries before the reign of Huangdi, a kingdom existed on the land of China. The name the realm bore sounded strange: Shaq. Mom says that her parents knew how the name of the kingdom is translated, mom also knew it, but ... forgot!

It happens with us dragons too! The kingdom of Shak was huge, its lands stretched from India to Siberia. Empress Shak-Ma was strict but fair. The Empress was very young when she was placed on the throne. But young does not mean stupid! The knowledge of mother, grandmother and great-grandmother was inside Shak-Ma. The young empress knew a lot, but she learned even more while ruling her people. Dragons and people lived together.

They had nothing to share. However, everything passes. Once the empress took a step that was the first step towards the death of her kingdom. The day before, the Empress had a stomachache and a headache. It was the first day of the monthly cycle. Everything the Empress looked at was covered in ripples. However, no mistake was made that day.

In the days when Shak-Ma was ill, she was especially attentive to her courtiers, afraid of offending someone inadvertently. The trouble came on the day when the monthly cycle was over and the pain was gone. Shak-Ma's relief was so great that she relaxed and forgot everything. However, for three days of indisposition, so many cases accumulated that the empress clutched her head. She would have to wait. Wait until her assistant recovers from the same ailment that tormented Shak-Ma a few days ago, but the empress decided to do everything herself. Shak-Ma worked tirelessly for two days. Tired of Shak-Ma. She needs to take a break, take a breath. However, a messenger arrived from the western border, and the empress's business increased. On the third day, the unthinkable happened. In the heat of a fever, in a hurry to redo everything before the evening council, Shak-Ma made a mistake. And the fate of the petitioner woman was sealed. Decided unfairly. Shak-Ma didn't even remember the woman's face. But the face of Shak-Ma was imprinted in the memory of the petitioner. Injustice killed the one who came to the Empress for help. The only daughter of the offended woman swore revenge on Shak-Ma. The first step towards the death of the state was taken. But everything could be different. Wait for the empress to recover her assistant, and the decision of the case would be fair.

The assistant took away the lion's share of the affairs of the state, and it was always easier for the empress to delve into every, even the most insignificant matter. This is how haste and pride destroyed the state of Shak.

That's the whole story. My heart is beating smoothly, so yours has calmed down. Do you have questions?

“Yes,” I replied, “I want to ask. Judging by your story, both the empress herself and her assistant did not work on the days of menstruation. Well, everything is clear with the Empress; she may not work at all, but her assistant ... Did she experience such pain and suffering that she could not go to work these days?

- Not. Medicine was then at such a level that women generally could not experience pain during menstruation.

- But, however, experienced? Why?

Instead of answering, the dragon tensed and fell silent.
