Swift is the smallest boy in school. No matter how he tries, he always gets it. This time he got beets. In his eyes, in his hair, under his fingernails and even behind his collar. This is what happens when a child doesn't listen to the cook. The beets must be eaten and period. Otherwise, one does not leave the cafeteria. All the children munch and fly to the break, and Swift is left alone with a portion of liquid evil. During such an encounter, only one thing arises in the boy's head - a plan of escape. Swift implements successive strategies, hoping to outwit the cook, but to no avail. Each failure is bought with more and more severe humiliation. The cook runs out of patience, and the boy runs out of ideas. How much will Swift have to sacrifice to preserve his dignity?
