Once upon a time there lived a smart gentleman with a smart lady. They were so eager for birds; that, having heard some bird singing, they sat and listened from morning to evening.
One day in the middle of winter the master went out into the garden and... He hears - the bird sings, and it sings so well, so sweetly - you will listen to it. He runs to the lady in joy and without taking a breath says: “Put on your fur coat, let’s go and listen: jig, zag, zig, zag!” - The bird behind the garden is still singing! The lady put on her fur coat and they both ran to listen. What happened there? The men were sawing wood at the woodpile, so she drank and sang - jig, zag!
