Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)

Ворон к ворону летит,
Ворон к ворону кричит:
,,Ворон, где б нам отобедать ?
Как бы нам о том проведать?``

Ворон ворону в ответ:
,,Знаю, будет нам обед;
В чистом поле под ракитой
Богатырь лежит убитый.

Кем убит и отчего,
Знает сокол лишь его,
Да кобылка вороная,
Да хозяйка молодая.

Сокол в рощу улетел,
На кобылку недруг сел,
А хозяйка ждёт милого,
Не убитого, живого.``
