Kozjol
Language: Russian (Русский)
Shla devica proguljat'sja, na luzhjok pokrasovat'sja, Vdrug navstrechu jej kozjol! Staryj, grjaznyj, borodatyj, Strashnyj, zloj i ves' mokhnatyj, sushchij chort! I devica ispugalas', Ot kozla begom pomchalas' prjamo v kust, I pritailas', Jele dyshet, chut' zhiva. Shla devica pod venec, Znat' prishla pora jej zamuzh, nu i vyshla! Muzh i staryj i gorbatyj, Lysyj, zloj i borodatyj, sushchij chort. Chto-zh, devica ispugalas'? Gm! Kak zhe! Ona k muzhu prilaskalas', Uverjala, chto verna, gm! chto v muzha vljublena, Chto primernaja zhena.
