Kukushka i Orjol
Language: Russian (Русский)
Orjol pozhaloval Kukushku v Solov'i. Kukushka, v novom chine, Usevshis' vazhno na osine, Talanty v muzyke svoi Vykazyvat' pustilas'; Gljadit — vse proch' letjat, Odni smejutsja jej, a te jejo branjat. Moja Kukushka ogorchilas' I s zhaloboj na ptic k Orlu speshit ona. «Pomiluj!» govorit: «po tvojemu velen'ju Ja Solov'em v lesu zdes' nazvana; A mojemu smejat'sja smejut pen'ju!» — «Moj drug!» Orjol v otvet: «ja car', no ja ne bog. Nel'zja mne ot bedy tvojej tebja izbavit'. Kukushku Solov'em chestit' ja mog zastavit'; No sdelat' Solov'em Kukushku ja ne mog».
