This little fairy tale, which, in addition, is not yet finished within me, quite accidentally arose from a dispute about templates in fantasy. From my opponent’s belief that any fantasy is built from ready-made bricks, and that there are only a few options for setting and plot development. I think Out of the Jungle is a classic fantasy. And it seems to me that there is no limit at all. The world of fairy tales and poetry is so great... but from somewhere around there came a crowd of people who wanted to reduce it to a dozen stereotypical schemes.
