Straw, piece of coal and bean
In one village a vein the poor old woman; it also has typed once the whole dish of beans, and was going to cook them. On the centre it has blown up a decent spark and that it inflamed more cheerfully, has thrown a straw bunch in fire.
When it began to pour beans in a pot, one bean has imperceptibly slid off a dish, has fallen to a floor and has come to be there near to a straw; and here to them to both has jumped out and the heated piece of coal of an oven.
Then the straw has led speech and has told: "Lovely friends, whence you here have welcomed it?"
Coal answered: "I, fortunately, have escaped fire and if I have not achieved it the destruction washing would be inevitable: it should to fuse in ashes".
The bean has added: "Yes here and I too have somehow escaped; and if the old woman has set me in a pot, it should also to me to boil soft in porridge, as well as to all my fellow countrymen". - "And me too has carried, - the straw has told, - the old woman has burnt all my colleagues and on a wind a smoke has started up - from fifty straws has at once grasped in a handful, and has finished off. And here to me has had the luck - has sliped at it between fingers".
"And what to us now to do?" - has asked companions a piece of coal.
"In my opinion, - the bean answered, - as we managed to avoid happily destruction we and should operate at the same time as kind companions; and that we here again were comprehended by any misfortune, we should all be moved together from here and to get over in other country".
This offer was pleasant to other friends, and they have gathered all in a way-road.
Soon they, however, have approached to a small stream and as through it it has not been thrown neither the bridge, nor a plate they and did not know how it to be forwarded.
To straw has come to mind the wise decision, and she has told: "I will be thrown across a stream, and you can be forwarded on me, as on мосточку".
Here also the straw with бережка on бережок was stretched, and the piece of coal, hot and скоренький by the nature, has now conceived to run across on новопостроенному мосточку.
But as it has reached the middle yes has caught under itself water splash, its fear and has seized: it has stopped and did not dare to move further.
The straw has lighted up, has broken up on two parts and has fallen in a stream; the piece of coal has failed in water after it, has hissed in water and was that.
The bean which of care still remained ashore, began that is urine to laugh loudly over the friends and laughed loudly before, that at last has burst.
It should also to it to vanish, кабы on its happiness there was no there and then wandering tailor: he had a rest on the bank of a stream.
He has taken pity over бобочком, has got a needle and a thread and has sewed both половинки.
The bean very much thanked him, but as the tailor has put on use a black thread instead of white since then all beans still had black seam in the middle. |
