The old man and the old woman had a boy and a girl, a cockerel and a hen, five sheep, the sixth was a stallion. A hungry wolf ran to the hut and howled:
-? An old man and an old woman lived on a hill in a clay hut. At the old man's, at the old woman's - A boy and a girl, A cockerel and a hen, Five sheep, The sixth is a stallion. A boy in boots, A girl in earrings!
-?Old man, old man, give me the cockerel and the hen, otherwise I’ll eat the old woman! The old man felt sorry for the cockerel and the hen, but - there was nothing to do - he gave them to the wolf. The next day the wolf came running again:
-? An old man and an old woman lived on a hill in a clay hut. At the old man's, at the old woman's - A boy and a girl, Five sheep, The sixth is a stallion. A boy in boots, A girl in earrings!
“Old man, old man, give me the sheep, otherwise I’ll eat the old woman!” The old man felt sorry for the sheep, and he felt even more sorry for the old woman, he gave the sheep to the wolf. On the third day the wolf came running:
-? An old man and an old woman lived on a hill in a clay hut. At the old man's, at the old woman's - A boy and a girl, And a straw stable, And in it - a stallion. A boy in boots, A girl in earrings!
-?Old man, old man, give up the stallion, otherwise I’ll eat the old woman! The old man gave away the stallion. The next morning the wolf comes running again:
-? An old man and an old woman lived on a hill in a clay hut. At the old man's, at the old woman's - A boy and a girl, A boy in boots, A girl in earrings!
-?Old man, old man, give up the boy and the girl, otherwise I’ll eat the old woman! The old man felt so sorry for the boy and the girl, he grabbed the poker and let’s carry the wolf. He beat and beat until his belly burst, and a stallion jumped out, followed by five sheep, and behind the sheep a cockerel and a hen.
