    “You old one ... Don’t annoy the bird again, it’s already some kind of anxious lately, it rushes at people with fists.

    - Somehow you're thin. Are you undernourished?
    “I'm malnourished,” the mouse admitted.
    - Take three feathers, eat well and work with renewed vigor. And in a week you will return four feathers. Both you feel good and I benefit.

    - Where did you reach out? My golden feather eggs are worth it! She whispered.
    Grandfather and grandmother did not have extra feathers, they all left for food. Therefore, they did not touch the golden eggs of the Ryaba chicken.
    Just in case, Ryaba chicken hired a bug to protect the chicken coop from uninvited visitors. There were so many feathers in Ryaba's chicken by that time that she could afford it.

    why he had been growing and growing turnip all day, and he didn’t increase the feathers, while Ryaba’s chicken didn’t carry any normal eggs, and the chicken coop was all in gold and the feathers in the corner were folded.

    Ryaba's chicken noticed grandfather's thoughtfulness and tells him:
    - Something not like? Well, let's get rid of the feathers. Let’s write down on a piece of paper who has how many feathers.
    So they did.

    Now, with each purchase and sale, a certain amount of feathers was debited from the buyer's account, and added to the seller’s account. Only all the same, the grandfather did not become richer, while Ryaba's chicken became rich to indecent.

    Problem 11

    In the end, grandfather was so thin that he began to openly express dissatisfaction with sciatica.
    “So tortured sciatica or did my feathers go wrong ?!” - Ryaba's hen sniffed under the evil yapping of the Bug. - Well, be your way. I propose to completely abandon the chicken feathers, and instead introduce cryptoins.
    - What do you think, is this business worthwhile? - the grandfather asked the granddaughter.
    “You, older, don’t smell at all ?!” - granddaughter shook her granddaughter with pigtails. - Cryptoins are the coolest thing that can be, the last peep of modern technology. They are based on the blockchain!
    Grandfather did not know what blockchain is, so he agreed to cryptoins.
