A fisherman and a hunter met and started talking.
“Once,” said the fisherman, “a pike bit me.” I’m trying to drag her, but she’s so strong and big, I don’t think I can drag her into the boat. He took an ax, hit it, and cut it in half. The head is gone, but the tail remains. Well, I took the tail and brought it home. And the next year, in the same place, I threw a spoon - again this pike grabbed it, without a tail.
- It happens... But I had a dog. I’ll go hunting, she’ll notice a hare, make a stance and raise her paw: one hare, that means! And if you come across two birds with one stone, he will raise both paws; three hares - three paws, and stands on one.
- Well, what about four rabbits?
- Four? Then she raises her four paws.
“And on what,” asked the fisherman, “is it standing?”
- How on what? On your tail!
