One day a gentleman, while walking, saw a swineherd and asked:
- Hey guy, what's your dad doing?
“My father makes two roads into one!”
- Two? .. To one? . . How is this possible?
- What a stupid master! He doesn’t know what it means to build two roads into one.
- Oh, he’s plowing!.. Well, what is your mother doing?
“She’s now giving away the bread she ate.”
– Bread eaten? .. How is this possible?
- What a stupid master, isn’t he? And he doesn’t know this. What you borrowed yesterday, you give back today.
- Oh, he gives it away!.. Well, what is your married sister doing?
“Last year I was happy, now I’m sad.”
- Are you grieving today?.. Why?
- What a stupid master! And he doesn’t know that. Last year she gave birth to twins - how could she not be happy? But now there is nothing to eat - so he grieves.
- You're a smart guy. And just because you called me a stupid master, you will now go to the estate and there they will flog you.
OK. A guy is walking and whistling. Enters the estate. The master is angry: how is it, they say, they are whistling right in front of his nose! Let the servants teach the arrogant guy a lesson - they'll let the dogs loose on him. And the boy had a little bunny in his bosom. As soon as the dogs attacked the guy, he took that little bunny and released it. Oh, fathers! What happened here - the dogs, like crazy, ran after the hare, and the boy was whistling to himself. The master became even more angry. He ordered the boy to be thrown into the cellar and kept there until the rods were supplied. The servant threw the boy into the cellar and ran into the grove for rods. And the boy just whistles. He took the plug out of a huge barrel of wine - the wine spilled onto the ground. A servant comes running, sees such trouble, plugs the hole with his finger and shouts:
- Give me the plug quickly! Give me the plug! And the boy put the ham on his back, threw a caftan on top - and ran. The master looks out the window as a boy with a hump on his back runs, laughs at the top of his lungs:
- Look how they decorated you - it’s even crooked!
