One day we met a wolf and a dog in the forest. The wolf pounced on the dog, grabbed it with its teeth and dragged it into its lair.
“Don’t eat me, wolf,” the dog whined, “let’s go to people’s wedding.”
- To people's wedding? - the wolf was surprised. - How will I get there?
- Together with me. Come to the barn in the evening, we’ll sneak into the hut, no one will notice.
The wolf waited until evening, crept to the appointed place, and then the dog arrived in time.
The wedding was in full swing. The dog and the wolf slipped through the door and slipped under the festive table. We sat and sat, and the dog began to whine quietly. The guests heard and began to throw her treats: meat, bones, and pies - there was a lot of everything, the dog and the wolf ate to their fill. And then there was a tub of kvass standing nearby. The dog pushed the dish under the table, and the friends started playing with kvass.
The wolf is happy, full, and completely forgot that there are people nearby. So he offers the dog:
- Maybe we can sing?
- What you! - the dog was scared. — People recognize you immediately by your voice.
The wolf was silent for a while and asked again:
- Maybe we can sing?
- Don't you dare! - the dog warned again. The wolf heeded her advice this time too. He was silent for a minute, then two, and for the third he couldn’t stand it:
“Then I’ll sing alone!” - And how he began to howl: - Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
The guests made noise, screamed, and asked each other:
- Why is there a wolf in the house?
- Why is there a wolf in the house?
One guest grabbed a poker, another a piece of wood, a third an iron rod and let’s go after the wolf - he could barely muster the courage to run into the forest!
