Picking vegetables for this issue was not easy. But we did what we could. After all, it is very appealing to say something about people through the prism of their vegetable existence. All living things possessing associative thinking live in a multilayered space of opposites, and one of them is precisely "fruit-vegetable". Then another childhood world, where Cippolino and Princess Brambilla lived, turns out to be real.

047 THE WAR OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Pavel Peppershtein
Soon, the two armies stood facing each other on the shores of the river Juice. According to the ancient tradition, two knights came forth from their ranks to face off in front of their armies.
