Koshkin dom

Myshka spichkami igrala,
Zagorelsja koshkin dom
Net, davaj nachnu snachala,
Myshka spichkami igrala,
Pered Vas'koj, pred kotom.

Promjauknul on na myshku, –
A ona jemu: «Kis-kis»
«Net», – skazal on, – «`eto – lishku»,
I za khvostik khvat' plutishku,
Vdrug usy jego zazhglis'.

Kot mjaukat', kot metat'sja,
Zagorelsja koshkin dom.
Tut by koshke dogadat'sja,
A ona davaj schitat'sja,
Vsjo postavila vverkh dnom. 

Pogubila revnost' zlaja,
Koshkin dom sgorel do tla.
«`Etoj myshke pomogla ja»,
Spichka molvila, pylaja. –
Myshka do sikh por cela.
