Crowd of ragamuffins
Lived-were on a this world a cockerel with a chicken. Here the cockerel to a chicken also has told: "Now it is a high time for nuts to ripen; we will go on mountain and we will take pleasure in them to satiety while their squirrel to itself has not carried away all". - "It is fine, - the chicken answered, - we will amuse утробушку".
Also they have gone on mountain and as day was light they and remained there till the evening.
And, the right, I do not know - whether they have gorged on too densely or the arrogance has seized them, but only it not wanted to them to come back home on foot, and the cockerel had to make a small vehicle of a nutshell.
When the vehicle was ready, the chicken now in it has taken seat and speaks to a cockerel: "And well, be put yes carry me". - "Still that has invented, - the cock has told, - yes I better on foot home will go, than to be put to a camp. No, between us such arrangement was not. The driver still, perhaps, it is ready to be and on goats to sit, and that on itself to drag - it do not agree!"
Meanwhile, while they argued, the duck has begun to chatter on them: "Ah you, pilferers, yes who has allowed you in my hazel grove on a grief to go? Ужо here will pay for it!" - and with the opened beak has flown on a cockerel. However a cockerel, not be a miss, has pecked a duck in a belly, and then so has bravely attacked it with the spurs, that she began to ask for mercy and was willingly obliged in the form of punishment to drag on itself a vehicle.
Here the cockerel has climbed up goats the driver and allow to send on errands: "the Duck, drag at full speed!"
Having passed a way part, they have met two more travellers: a pin and a needle.
Those have shouted: "Stand, stand!" - also began to say, that here supposedly now will darken, then they and a step cannot step further, and it is dirty supposedly very much on road - whether so it is impossible for them too in a vehicle to settle down, and that they in портняжной to hotel at gate have stood and about beer were are late.
Cockerel, seeing, that they children lean, places will not occupy much, took both of them in a vehicle, only with that arrangement that they to it, its chicken on feet did not come.
Late at night they have arrived to hotel and as they would not like to go further at night, and the duck hardly standing kept also that on one side on another fell have turned in hotel.
The owner of hotel at first became was to break yes to say, that at it, say, in the house of a place is not present, and that has thought, that visitors - the people not important; then, however, has surrendered on their sweet speeches, on promises, that here supposedly to it will get яичко which the chicken road has taken down, yes except that and a duck it too can keep at itself(himself), and that supposedly on яичку puts every day...
Has surrendered - and has let in them to spend the night.
They, of course, ordered to serve up to themselves a supper and to this supper have done appropriate honour.
Ранешенько in the morning when just hardly dawned and still slept, the cockerel has woken a chicken, has got яичко, проклевал it, and they together it had breakfast, and egg половинки have thrown on the centre.
Then have gone to a needle, which else slept, took it for an ear and have tired out in a pillow of a master's armchair; at last have reached and a pin, took it and have pinned to a towel of the owner, and, indifferently, give the God of a foot!
The duck slept open-air in a court yard, has heard, as they have slipped away, and too has cheered up; has nosed out какойто a streamlet and has floated on its current and whence the speed undertook! Not that that a vehicle to drag!
Only hour two were wiped later to itself by the owner of an eye on the down feather-bed, has washed and only wanted was to be wiped by a towel as the pin has scratched it on the person and has spent a red hem from an ear to an ear. It has gone to kitchen and wanted was a tubule to light; but as soon as has approached to the centre both egg shells as it is jumped to it in eyes... "Yes that it today all gets to my head!" - he has told about itself(himself) and with disappointment has fallen on an antiquated armchair, but has immediately jumped from it and has screamed: "Ah, ah!" - because its needle very painfully (and not in a head) has pricked.
Here it has absolutely become angry and began to suspect of all these tricks these visitors, which profits the day before so late: has gone, has looked - and them and the trace has caught a cold.
Here it has sworn itself(himself) never not to start up any more to itself(himself) under a roof any crowd which consumes much, does not pay anything - moreover in a gratitude kind is started up here on what pieces. |
