      One day, a large and slightly plump cat, Big, was lying in the forest with his little frog on his stomach. As soon as morning came and the sun's rays fell on the cat's eyes, he woke up, opening his mouth wide. — Good morning, Froggy! Ready for breakfast? — the cat asked the frog and he croaked in agreement, after which he jumped off and galloped somewhere. — Wait, Froggy, I'm with you! — he said and tried to get up. But he was so heavy that he could barely stand up and couldn’t even stretch. He reaches up with his hands and his head, but his belly doesn’t let him in and just demands that he lie down further. — I’ll just get up now! — he tries to stretch again and almost got up, but he got tired and lay down on his back again, catching his breath. He tried again and suddenly the sound of a steamboat came from somewhere. — Oh, it wasn’t me, if anything! Okay! You'll have to gather all your strength and take off like a rocket. — but it didn’t work out for him again. — Stop! I can ride and get up from my stomach! — he realized in time, rolled like a log to his left side and began to lie on his stomach. Then he stretched out his arms, pushed off the ground and still stood up. — Finally! Still, I need to buy myself a house and a bed, otherwise I’m tired of lying on the hard ground. Froggy was waiting for his owner near a large purple car. Big reached the purple car and jumped into the front seat, but only the seat fell under him. Now the legs were sticking out from below the car. — Damn!... — the cat swore and became sad, and then he immediately smiled, looking at his feet. — O! Look, I'm Flintstone! — he said, grabbed the side doors of the car with both hands, lifted it slightly and ran on foot along with the car, making car sounds: — Pr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r.

      Having driven his car to the lake, the cat got out of the car, took Froggy in his hand, took a fishing rod in the other, and they moved on. On the way, Big cursed himself: — I’m just shocked at the low-quality cars they make these days.” And just for the money. In Russia, at least, when it was not yet Russia, they knew how to make, although not beautiful, high-quality and reliable cars that would last for at least a hundred years. And this car only lasted me a week. Now I have to take it back to the auto shop and demand my money back as compensation for almost breaking my legs. The walls, doors and floors are thin, and now we have to suffer and spend extra money on repairs that we didn’t plan at all, but planned to spend the money on something else. Okay, Froggy, let's not talk about this. Now we’ll go fishing and fishing will quickly make me calm down. Now let's go up to the second floor of the bay and fish from high above. — Kwa-kwa. — Froggy croaked in agreement. They reached a bay that was high up. There were stairs and an elevator leading there. Big decided to take the elevator and entered it. He presses the button with the second floor, but it lights up and makes an unusual sound of refusal. — Didn't understand! — Big's eyes widened and he pressed again. He hears the same sound again. — Go, you fool, go! - he added out loud and pressed again. Again the elevator refused to go up. — Is it broken? Apparently those who only think about money did it. Now I will express my complaint to the elevator operator. — he said to himself, took out the telephone receiver and spoke into it: — Hello, what kind of bullshit is this? Is your elevator broken? I just want to go up to the high pier to go fishing from above, but your elevator refuses to take me up. Do you only think about money, and not about us, who suffer and are forced to only walk up the stairs because of people like you? — Calm down! The elevator is working. You're just very heavy and that's why he doesn't lift you. In general, the elevator outweighs. Its lifting capacity is approximately five hundred kilograms and it cannot lift or support a whale. So you better get out of the elevator before you fall into the shaft. — said the elevator operator. — Oh, you insatiable capitalists! You don’t know how to make elevators, and people like me should suffer because of you? — Cursing, he hangs up and presses the button several more times, shouting: — WORK, JUNK!!! GO, WHO AM I TELLING??? — but the elevator again responded with the same refusing sound several more times, depending on how many times Big pressed the button. Big got angry and clenched his teeth. — SO HECK YOU!!! I WILL GO ON THE STAIRS ON FOOT!!! As soon as he stepped off the elevator, the elevator itself immediately took off like a rocket and flew high, high into the sky. He crashed into a passenger plane, which began to crash and flew down. The plane crashed somewhere in the forest. Don't worry, the passengers and pilots of the plane were not injured and survived, as they foresaw such an eventuality and were prepared for it. However, they did not know who shot down their plane?

      Big climbed the ladder to the top of the bay and sat down on the edge, casting his fishing rod into the lake. He began to wait for at least one fish to bite. He sat and waited until he fell asleep. Froggy got tired of waiting and galloped away. Big had woken up by that time, having forgotten about Froggy and said to himself: — Lord, why isn’t this fish caught? Catch fish big, small and medium! But Metal Sonic don't get caught, otherwise you'll kill me! — Big said to the fish, which for some reason still did not want to grab the hook of the fishing rod. Big waited and waited and waited and waited until he got tired of it. He was tired of sitting in one place and waiting for him to catch a fish. Big gave up on this matter and thought: — Screw this fishing! Looks like we'll have to do without fish for breakfast! Especially since I missed breakfast! — Having gone downstairs, he looked around and was about to call Froggy, when he galloped up to him. — Oh, here you are! You know, Froggy, I just can't understand these fish. For some reason they don't want to fall for my bait. Although we have come across them before.

However, Big was not one to give up easily. Since he decided to catch himself some food to refresh himself, then he will do so. He decided to ask someone to visit so that they could have something to eat. Perhaps the rabbits will help him here. Yes. Vanilla, for example, is a very kind rabbit and always does not refuse anyone. Even if it concerns food. Moreover, he is on par with Amy and gets along with the rabbit Cream, and let me remind you, she is Vanilla’s daughter. This means that in no case will they refuse him to come to visit them, and even for lunch. Big didn’t know then that the first guest had already arrived to Vanilla and Cream. A pink hedgehog in red clothes, Cream's best friend and whom Vanilla is also always happy to see as a guest. After all, Amy always helps them, does things for them, but most of all, she does a lot of good things for Cream and never offends her. They were about to have tea with blueberry pie and strawberry cake when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Vanilla went to the door and looked through the peephole, and Big was still there. They certainly didn't invite him, but they were still glad to see him. — Big, what a pleasant surprise! — smiling, the rabbit greeted the big cat and stepped aside, allowing him to enter through the threshold into the corridor of the house. Big could barely get through the narrow door and had to go through the right side. At the same time, he also tilted his head a little. — Since you came to us, do you want to have lunch with us? — Thank you, Vanilla, but I can’t have lunch. — Why? — Vanilla didn’t understand. — Because I haven’t had breakfast yet in the morning. I couldn't even catch a fish. Something has been unlucky for me lately on this day. Even while fishing. — That is okay. Come in, have a seat! We have plenty of food and enough for everyone. — the mother took fat man's the big man’s hand, led him into the kitchen and sat him down on the table. Because of the railings on the sides of the chair, he could barely sit down, because it was a little tight for his big butt. — Oh! These chairs were at least more comfortable for me. — he said to himself. — And you sit on mine! I hope mine won't be too tight. — suggested Cream, getting up from her stool. — Chao-chao. — said Cheese in confirmation of the hostess’s words. Big stood up, but the chair itself stood up with him. He didn’t want to get unstuck and the cat even almost dropped Amy’s cup from the table, which she removed in time when Big turned his back to her. — We need to help you take this off! — Rose said, grabbed the legs of the chair with both hands, grabbed it with her right leg and began to push off from the cat’s back and easily pulled the chair out without difficulty. Although with her physical size this is a little strange and doubtful. — Thank you, Amy. — Do not thank! Cream will sit on this chair, and you sit on the stool. That's what Big did. True, as soon as he sat down on the stool, it immediately broke under his weight and the cat fell to the floor. Amy covered her mouth and laughed quietly. — U-u-uh. I'd rather just stand there, if you don't mind! — Okay. — Cream didn’t argue with him, picked up the pieces of the stool and put them away, and Big just stood in front of the table. — Big, what should you spread on bread, butter, honey or boiled condensed milk? — Vanilla asked. — All! You can even not boil it, if you have that too. I’ll probably also try your cakes and pies. I don’t need much, just small pieces, please! — the cat asked politely. — Well if you say so! — said the rabbit and gave him four halves of slices of bread, each of which was spread with butter, honey, regular condensed milk and even boiled milk. Then she cut off a small piece of cake and pie, giving them to Big on a separate plate. True, Big was a little sad and thoughtful. Vanilla became worried about her guest and asked: — Is something wrong? — Well, don't be offended. I just thought the pieces would be bigger. — Big explained. Vanilla did not want to offend her guest and took pity on him, putting more bread on the table, pots and jars with contents, with which she smeared the slices of bread, and also moved the cake and pie closer. — Well then maybe you want to take the whole cake, the whole pie, all the bread, a pot of honey, condensed milk and that’s it. Just take it all, as much as you can eat! — she said. — Thank you, Miss Vanilla. — the cat thanked, took the knife and cut himself a few more slices from the whole bread. He cut all the bread into small pieces, took all the honey and all the condensed milk out of jars with pots and spread it on the cut slices of bread. He just finished the rest of the honey and condensed milk himself. He decided not to take the butter, because what he had on one slice was enough for him. Then he cut a few more pieces of pies and cake himself. And he did this so that he could eat it all at once, easily chewing and swallowing. First, as an example, he takes a slice with butter, immediately puts it in his mouth, quickly chews it and immediately swallows it, and then does the same with the rest of the sandwiches, and pieces of cake, and pie. And so Big ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, until there was nothing left on the table. It’s good that Cream, Vanilla and Amy at least had their sandwiches with pieces of pie and cake left. And with your own cups of tea. Because Big also took the entire teapot and drank all the tea right from the spout to the bottom to wash down all the contents. — “Fi! What bad manners he has! Who taught this fat guy how to behave at the table, and even at a party.” — Amy thought about him. — “Poor Mr. Big! He may not know how to behave at the table, but he is still a very good friend. We can’t kick him out for such behavior. He still wants to eat.” - thought Cream. — “I hope Cream is thinking about the same thing as me?” — Vanilla thought. Big ate and sat down straight on the floor, and then burped. Frightened by what he has done, he covers his mouth and apologizes. Vanilla and Cream just laughed. — My dad always told me, don’t keep it to yourself! — she said. — Okay. Thanks for the hospitality! I think it's time for me to go. — said Big, stood up and shook hands with the hedgehog and then the rabbits goodbye. — Okay, since you don’t want anything else. — Vanilla said. Big really didn’t want to eat anything else. What he ate was enough for now. The cat stands sideways before going outside and tries to pass. But he poked his head through the door, but his belly wouldn’t let him in. It doesn't go sideways. Even my legs did not help me walk, but seemed to slide along the floor. — Oh! No, I’d better go back! — he said to himself and tried to go back inside the house. But even so, he couldn’t get out of the door. He was stuck tightly and tried so hard, first to go sideways into the street, then sideways into the house, but he didn’t move a single step either here or there. — Okay, go ahead! Oh no! Better go back! Oh-oh, save me! Help! At that moment, two hedgehogs, Sonic and Shadow, were passing by, when they suddenly saw Big, who was stuck between the doors in Vanilla’s house and could not free himself. He kept trying to push through, but his belly wouldn’t let him in. Realizing that it was useless, he decided to call for help: — SAVE ME!!! HELP!!! — Big Big! What happened to you? — Cream came running first, and he continued shouting: — HELP ME!!! SAVE ME!!! — What are you? Are you really stuck here? — Shadow asked and could not contain his laughter, covering his hand with his palm. — No, no, I'm just resting.— the fat man made an excuse. — Oh no! What to do? — Amy got worried and began to push Big forward to push him out. However, there is no way to push him there. — Does not work! It's all because of your gluttony, Big! — Amy, don't be rude to him! He is still our guest and best friend. — Vanilla asked for politeness. — Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! — Big screamed in pain as Amy pushed him. — All clear! — said the hedgehog. — Stuck to death! Neither push nor pull! — This is all because someone’s doors are too narrow. — Big cursed, hitting the wall inside the house with his fist. — No. — Sonic raised his right index finger to the top. — This is all because someone eats too much. You, Big, are just like Winnie the Pooh! He also came to visit one day, stayed too long, ate too much honey, got fat and also got stuck in the door. — Mr. Sonic, Mr. Shadow, don't stand there! Since you’ve come, you’d better help us get him out! — asked Cream. Sonic and Shadow took Big by his hand and began to pull him, pushing off the wall with their feet. Tails himself joined them. Tails was also just passing by, accidentally noticed that Sonic and Shadow were trying to pull Big out and also decided to help them. They began to pull Big from the side of the street, and Cream, Vanilla, Cheese and Amy began to push Big. But he still didn’t push through and just started shouting: — AH!!! AYAYAYAY!!! A-AH!!! HURT!!! — It's useless! — said the two-tailed man. — If we can’t get him out, let’s try to push him back in! And now Sonic, Shadow and Tails began to push, on the contrary, and Amy, Vanilla, Cream and Cheese pulled. But even so, Big didn’t move and things got even worse. — Hm-m! — said Shadow. — Well, you're in trouble, Big! — What to do now? — Cream almost cried. — Chao-chao! — What to do? Nothing! Wait for him to lose weight again. — Amy suggested. — How long should we wait? — asked Big. — Days, weeks, and maybe months. Who knows? — Tails suggested. — HOW MANY??? — Big bulged his eyes and opened his mouth. — I WILL GET OLDER HERE WHILE I STAND BETWEEN THE DOORS AND WAIT, AND THEN I WILL DIE OF OLD AGE!!! I'M SO PANIC!!! — and here he wasn’t lying. Big was in a real panic that he himself was now trying with all his might to free himself, but it was useless. — No need to panic, Mr. Big! Now we will figure out how to get you out of there! — said Cream, but Big continued to try to free himself and shouted: — HELP ME!!! SO-O-OS!!! SOMEONE SAVE THE BIG CAT FROM THESE NARROW DOORS, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!! SONIC, FRIEND, TAKE CARE OF FROGY FOR ME-E-E!!! — Big shouted his last cry so much that he even cried. — Please calm down, Big. I'll do everything, just don't panic! — the blue hedgehog calmly asked, stretching his arms forward. — Don't worry, Big, we won't leave you! We will always be by your side until you lose weight! — Vanilla felt sorry for him, and Cream added: — So that you don’t die of hunger, we will feed you healthy food. There are all sorts of vegetables or soups. We will cover you with warm clothes so that you don’t freeze and can even sleep in such an uncomfortable position. We will communicate with you more often, maybe even read a book to you. Big was still a little scared to stay in the same place, but he decided to take their word for it! — But how do we get out of here if the door is blocked by Big himself? — asked Rose. — Well, we still have windows in our house. For now, we will enter and exit our house through the windows. — Vanilla explained.

***

      And so the halves of Big’s body outside and inside the house waited for them to lose weight. Day after day, night after night. His friends kept their promise and visited him. Every day Vanilla prepared Big for tomorrow, lunch and dinner with fresh vegetables, soups, cereals and other boiled food that would not make Big gain so much weight. Sometimes they put a bucket under him so that he could... Well, in general, they themselves understood what to do! Then the bucket itself was taken away and all its contents were flushed down the toilet. When it rained, they covered him with umbrellas and covered him with a woolen blanket on the sides and top to keep him warm. Some even came and visited him as they promised and communicated. Even Knuckles came and read newspapers with news to Big. Rouge sometimes laughed at him and tried to make him laugh, and Charmy lectured him about how not to overeat when visiting and how not to eat too much. Big lived like this every day and every night, until now he was not bored and was no longer afraid of anything. After all, his faithful friends were always there to support him, calm him down and even feed him a little so that he would not die of hunger while he was losing weight. With all this, he still stood between the doors of the entrance to the house and waited. Big kept waiting for him to lose weight, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

      One night, in winter, when the snow was falling and Big was covered with warm blankets, he tried to fall asleep standing up and dreamed of all sorts of goodies from sweets to meat, which he had not eaten for a long time. But most of all he dreams of trying fish. He even smacked his lips and said under his breath in his sleep: — Fish! Golden little fish! — Kwa-a-ak. — Froggy croaked sadly, lying on his head. Charmy suddenly flies in and asks: — Hey, fat man, still standing there! I heard that you haven’t eaten anything sweet for a long time? Would you like me to give you some honey? — having asked, he shows a jar of honey. Big immediately woke up from what he heard and turned his head. — Did you say honey? — Yes. Try! It is very tasty and sweet! I did it myself, by the way. — the little bee answered and laughed sarcastically to the side. Fortunately, Cream arrived to help, having heard this conversation from the room through the window and took his jar of honey from Charmy. — NO!!! — she screamed. — Charmy, Big can’t have sweets until he loses weight. Have you forgotten? — But, Cream, I didn’t mean to eat it. I just wanted to try. — the cat explained. — Don’t worry, Mr. Big, I’ll try it for you myself and tell you what it tastes like. — the rabbit reassured him and flew back to the room on the second floor. — THIS IS IMPASSION!!! THIS LONG-EARED STUFF TOOK MY HONEY!!! — the little bee shouted, pointing his fist at the window into Cream’s bedroom. Vanilla immediately flies in and angrily hammers a sign in front of the entrance to their house with the inscription “Do not feed the big cat!” He hammers his fist into the ground and at the same time reads this inscription syllable by syllable directly to Charmy himself: — Do. Not. Fe. Ed. T. He. Big. Cat! — Heck you!— Charmy waved at them and flew away.

***

      Spring had already passed, summer had come and it was so hot that the poor cat was sweating from the heat. Every day the female rabbits put a wet cloth with cold water on his forehead so that he would cool down a little and not overheat in such heat. In principle, the fact that he was sweating was also good. After all, his fats were also released through sweat and he might lose weight a little faster this way. But one day, when it got too hot, Big stopped sweating. He even felt that he seemed to have already lost weight. Although he still remained the same size along with his stomach and still could not move between the doors. The rabbits noticed this and called all their friends to try again to push him out. Outside, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge and Charmy picked him up and pulled him while Vanilla, Cream, Cheese and Amy inside the house pushed him out of the house. This time it didn’t hurt, but Big still didn’t climb any further for some reason. Apparently the doors also narrowed a little along with the cat himself while he stood and lost weight. They didn't know what to do now? How can they get him out of there? — WELL THIS IS ALREADY TOO!!! — Amy could not stand it with anger, called on her piko-piko hammer and asked the rabbits with the chao to step aside. The hedgehog walked a little further, then ran up and hit the cat with her hammer, shouting: — HECK YOU!!! The blow was so strong that Big flew out of the door like a cannonball and fell straight onto the grass. Then he stood up, looked around and raising his hands up, shouted: — HOORAY!!! I AM FREE!!! All my friends were immediately happy too. Except for the ever-sullen Shadow. They surrounded the cat and began to swing him, throwing him up like a hero, as if he had accomplished a heroic deed. After all, Big tried very hard to endure and wait for him to lose weight and be free. And now he finally waited for it. Although all it took was just enough effort, like Amy Rose did, to push him out even on her own. Cream even brought Big the same jar of honey that she had taken from Charmy back in the winter so that he wouldn’t fatten Big with it. — Here you go, Mr. Big. You deserve to eat something sweet for your efforts! At first Big was happy and wanted to take the jar. Even his stomach was growling and asking for food, but then the cat thought about it and decided to refuse: — Uh. No thanks. I'd rather lose some more weight. Otherwise I’ll suddenly get stuck somewhere! — he said and ran away. Cream even became a little sad and gave the jar back to Charmy. In vain Big refused at least a spoonful of honey! After all, honey is really very tasty, and most importantly, it is good for health.

One year later

      Big finally fulfilled his dream. Thanks to the fact that he stopped eating so much, he saved up more money, bought himself an apartment on the highest floor, put his best friend Froggy in an aquarium there, where he sometimes fed him like fish in water, and only then began to buy himself a lot of food and eat . One such evening he returned to his home, laid a lot of food on the table and began to sit down to eat. — And now comes the most pleasant moment of the day. Eating! — Big said and jumped onto the chair. The chair immediately broke under his weight, Big fell and broke the floor with his body, flying down. One of the neighbors below even shouted at him, and that someone was Shadow: — WE ARE ALL TIRED OF YOU ALREADY, PURPLE ELEPHANT!!!
