Once upon a time, there was a boy named Reuben who loved cooking. He was searching for the perfect ingredient to make a tasty sandwich. One day, he found an old jar of horseradish sauce and decided to use it in his sandwich. But when he opened the jar, he discovered that the sauce was rancid and smelled terrible.
Reuben didn't give up. He patiently experimented with different ingredients and finally found the perfect combination - pumpernickel bread, juicy pastrami, melted Swiss cheese, and a hint of rye. The sandwich was impressive and especially delicious with the hint of horseradish. Everyone who tried it agreed that it was the tastiest sandwich they had ever tasted.
The end.
