A woman went out into the field to reap and hid a jug of milk behind the bushes. The fox approached the jug, stuck its head into it, and lapped up the milk; It’s time to go home, but the problem is that he can’t get his head out of the jug.
A fox walks, shakes its head and says:
- Well, jug, I was joking, and so be it - let me go, little jug! You've had enough of spoiling, my dear, - I've played and that's enough!
The jug doesn't lag behind, no matter what you want.
The fox got angry:
“Wait, you damned one, if you don’t lag behind in honor, then I’ll drown you.”
The fox ran to the river and let's drown the jug. The jug drowned, and he pulled the fox with him.
