Once upon a time there lived a bunny. On the lake shore he was constantly jumping in the sedge. Once I cut my lip with a sedge. I went to the fire to complain:
- Fire, burn the sedge on the lake shore!
-What harm did the sedge do to you? - asked the fire.
“She cut my lip,” answered the hare.
“You have such an insatiable belly,” said the fire. The hare went to the water and said:
- Water, come, put out the fire!
-What harm did the fire do to you?
- Fire does not light the sedge on the lake shore!
-What harm did the sedge do to you?
- She cut my lip.
– You have such an insatiable belly! The bunny went to two boys with arrows and bows and said to them:
- Children, shoot into the water!
-What harm has the water done to you?
– The water doesn’t come, the fire doesn’t go out!
-What harm did the fire do to you?
- Fire does not light the sedge on the lake shore!
- What harm did the sedge do to you?
– Did you cut my lip?
– You have such an insatiable belly! The bunny went to the mouse and said:
- Mouse, mouse, gnaw the string on the boys' bows. so they couldn't shoot!
The mouse took pity on the bunny and went to gnaw the strings of the bows. But I didn’t have time. The boys grabbed their bows, pulled the string and shot arrows into the water. They shoot into the water - the water rises, the fire is put out. The fire got scared and ran to the sedge. The sedge caught fire, and in the sedge the bunny is jumping. He was confused, ran out of the fire, singed his legs and ears.
