Once on the road Koblukh and the Devil met.
Damn:
- What's new in the world, Koblukh-krasnobay?
Koblukh:
“But they say that eight dogs couldn’t eat a mosquito thigh.”
Damn:
“They were probably tiny dogs.”
Koblukh:
- Nothing to say - tiny! They ate the eagles that landed on the tower of the prince's palace.
Damn:
- Well, apparently, the eagles were tiny...
Koblukh:
- What are you, how tiny? When they sat on the top of the palace, their wings touched the ground.
Damn:
- You're lying! Or maybe the palace was low.
Koblukh:
- Not at all! Can you really say that a house is low if its storeroom can fit eight camels with luggage?
Damn:
- Then it turns out that the camels were dwarf.
Koblukh:
- Nothing like that! The camels were so tall that they tore leaves from the tops of the plane trees.
Damn:
- So the plane trees were short.
Koblukh:
- How short? When my brother looked at their tops, his hat fell off his head.
Damn:
- Well, your brother was as big as a fingernail.
Koblukh:
- What are you talking about, he was so tall that he put his hand into the well and pulled out stones from the bottom.
Damn:
- So what if the well was very shallow?
Koblukh:
- It was very deep. If a stone was thrown at it early in the morning, it would only reach the bottom in the evening.
Damn:
- Or maybe the day was short?
Koblukh:
- Not at all! The cow, having walked with the bull in the morning, returned home in the evening with the calf.
Damn:
- Well, Koblukh, I admit, I can’t outsmart you, you’ve outdone me.
