Grandfather and grandmother lived. Grandfather says to grandmother:

- You, woman, bake pies, and I will harness the sleigh, I will go for fish.

Grandfather caught a full cart of fish. He goes home and sees: the fox curled up, lies on the road. Grandfather got down from the cart, came up, but the fox did not stir, lies as if dead.

- This is a great find! There will be a collar for my old woman's fur coat.

Grandfather took the fox and put it on the cart, and he went ahead. And the fox seized the time and began to gently throw out of the cart all the fish and the fish, all the fish and the fish. She threw out all the fish and herself slowly left. Grandfather came home and calls a woman:

- Well, old woman, a noble collar brought you a fur coat!
A woman came up to the cart: there was neither a collar nor a fish on the cart. And she began to scold the old man:

- Oh, you old horseradish, so-and-so, still took it into his head to deceive me!
Then the grandfather realized that the fox was not dead. Grieved, grieved, but what are you going to do! And the fox, meanwhile, gathered all the fish in a pile on the road, sat down and eats. The wolf comes to her:

- Hello, gossip, bread and salt ...

- Give me the fish.

- Catch yourself, and eat.

- Yes, I can not.
- Eka! After all, I caught it. You, kumanek, go to the river, dip your tail into the hole, sit and say: “Catch, fish, both small and large, catch, fish, both small and large!” So the fish will grab you by the tail. The longer you sit, the more you learn.

Freeze, freeze, wolf tail! The wolf sat all night at the hole. His tail was frozen. In the morning I wanted to get up - it was not there. He thinks: “Eka, how many fish have rolled in - and you can’t pull them out!” At this time, a woman comes with buckets for water. I saw a wolf and shouted: - Wolf, wolf! Beat him!

The wolf - back and forth, can not pull out the tail. Baba threw the buckets and let's beat him with a yoke. Beat, beat, the wolf was torn, torn, tore off his tail and took to his heels. “Well, he thinks, already (*) I will repay you, godfather!”

And the fox climbed into the hut where this woman lived, ate from the kneading dough, smeared her head with dough, ran out onto the road, fell and lies - groaning. Wolf towards her:

- So this is how you teach, godfather, to fish! Look, they beat me up all over ... The fox says to him:

- Oh, kumanek! You don’t have a tail, but your head is intact, and they broke my head: look - the brain came out, I dragged myself by force.

“And that’s true,” the wolf tells her. - Where do you go, godfather, sit on me, I'll take you.

The fox sat on the back of the wolf. He took her. Here is a fox riding a wolf and slowly singing: - The beaten unbeaten is lucky, The beaten unbeaten is lucky! - What are you talking about, godfather? .. - I, kumanek, am talking about your pain. And she herself again: - The beaten unbeaten is lucky, The beaten unbeaten is lucky!

(*) Already - soon, on the same day.

There lived a poor old man. He had several chickens on his farm.

and nothing more.

Every night someone stole chickens from the old man. All were taken away, remained

only one chicken. The old man did not know who was stealing. asked

neighbors, but no one could say anything. And the old man lived only

chicken eggs. The neighbors took pity on the old man and began to give him

food. And so the poor old man lived.

“I won’t let you take away the last chicken,” the old man decided, hid

behind the chicken coop and began to wait.

The night has come - there is no one, the midnight has come - there is no one.

In the morning, a fox came running and climbed into the chicken coop.

“Yeah, I caught the thief!” - the old man said to himself, crept up to

fox, grabbed by the tail and let's beat her with a stick. Then the fox pleaded:

In the name of Allah, I ask you not to kill! Who knows maybe

I can be helpful to you.

How can you, thief, be useful to me? - Even stronger

the old man began to beat the fox.

Don't kill, please! Leave me alone. Will live

together. Perhaps I can do something good for you, - she asked

fox again.

The old man thought, "Maybe she's really for something.

someday come in handy" - and left the fox with him.

The fox lives with the old man. One morning she asked the old man:

What, grandpa, do you need the most?

What I don't need! Winter is coming: the rivers are already beginning

freeze. And my fur coat was completely torn. Freeze me

in winter! If I had a new fur coat, I would saddle happiness, - said

Think business! Can't I get you a fur coat! -

fox assured.

The fox went to the field to catch mice. Met a pack of hungry wolves.

They surrounded the fox, gnashed their teeth.

I know, brothers, that you are hungry. I will feed you only

Don't touch me, said the fox to the wolves.

OK. But if you deceive us, tear us to shreds, -

wolves threatened.

Why should I deceive you? Hollahi *, I will not deceive! - answered

sly Fox.

The fox led the wolves to a large river. - He will eat his fill who has courage and patience. Lower

tails into the water and sit all night. Take out so much in the morning

fish, how long will your tails last. Enough for three days. If a

can’t stand it until the morning, you start fidgeting, then it’s not my fault: you will stay

without fish, - said the fox and went to the old man.

By morning the river was frozen over, and the wolf tails were frozen into the ice. Rushed

wolves, where are they? Can't pull their tails out!

And the fox brought the old man to the river, pointed to the wolves and said:

Here, grandfather, is your fur coat.

The old man took a stick, began to beat the wolves and killed them all. ripped off

wolf skins and sewed a magnificent fur coat.

So the old man and the fox live. Needs know nothing, among themselves
