Mushrooms from the picture

Victor Krotov

Once upon a time there was a painting that hung in Ka’s room. It had the edge of a forest on it. Ka wanted to take the painting off her wall to move it, but it was stuck. She looked behind it to see why and saw that the forest in the picture kept going. She stepped into the forest and saw that there were mushrooms on the ground. Ka picked some delicious mushrooms for dinner and stepped back into her room. She left the painting where it was. “It might as well stay where it is since the forest already grew there.”
