The Bun
Once there lived an old man and old woman. "Old woman, bake me a bun." "What can I make it from? I have no flour." "Eh, eh, old woman! Scrape the cupboard, sweep the flour bin, and you will find enough flour." The old woman picked up a duster, scraped the cupboard, swept the flour bin and gathered about two handfuls of flour.
She mixed the dough with sour cream, fried it in butter, and put the bun on the window sill to cool. The bun lay and lay there. Suddenly it rolled off the window sill to the bench, from the bench to the floor, from the floor to the door. Then it rolled over the threshold to the entrance hall, from the entrance hall to the porch, from the porch to the courtyard, from the courtyard trough the gate and on and on. nine0013
The bun rolled along the road and met a hare. "Little bun, little bun, I shall eat you up!" said the hare.
"Don't eat me, slant-eyed hare! I will sing you a song," said the bun, and sang: I was scraped from the cupboard, Swept from the bin Kneaded with sour cream, fried in butter, And coolled on the sill. I got away from Grandpa, I got away from Grandma And I'll get away from you, hare! And the bun rolled away before the hare even saw it move! nine0013
The bun rolled on and met a wolf. "Little bun, little bun, I shall eat you up," said the wolf. "Don't eat me, gray wolf!" said the bun. "I will sing you a song." And the bun sang: I was scraped from the cupboard, Swept from the bin Kneaded with sour cream, fried in butter, And coolled on the sill. I got away from Grandpa, I got away from Grandma I got away from the hare And I'll get away from you, gray wolf! And the bun rolled away before the wolf even saw it move! nine0013
The bun rolled on and met a bear. "Little bun, little bun, I shall eat you up," the bear said. "You will not, pigeon toes!" And the bun sang: I was scraped from the cupboard, Swept from the bin Kneaded with sour cream, fried in butter, And coolled on the sill.
I got away from Grandpa, I got away from Grandma I got away from the hare I got away from the wolf And I'll get away from you, big bear! And again the bun rolled away before the bear even saw it move! nine0013
The bun rolled and rolled and met fox. "Hello, little bun, how nice yor are!" said the fox. And the bun sang: I was scraped from the cupboard, Swept from the bin Kneaded with sour cream, fried in butter, And coolled on the sill. I got away from Grandpa, I got away from grandma I got away from the hare I got away from the wolf I got away from bear And I'll get away from you, old fox!
"What a wonderful song!" said the fox. "But little bun, I have become old now and hard of hearing. Come sit on my snout and sing your song again a little louder." The bun jumped up on the fox's snout and sang the same song. "Thank you, little bun, that was a wonderful song. I'd like to hear it again. Come sit on my tongue and sing it for the last time," said the fox, sticking out her tongue.
The bun foolishly jumped onto her tongue and- snatch!- she ate it. nine0013
Translation of the fairy tale "Gingerbread Man"
Gingerbread Man
There was an old man and an old woman. The old man asks: - Bake, old woman, bun. -What is the oven made of? There is no flour. - Hey, old woman! Scratch the box, mark the bottom of the barrel, maybe there will be enough flour. The old woman took the wing and scratched the box. I swept it in the bottom of the barrel, and a handful of flour gathered from two.
I kneaded the dough with sour cream, fried it in oil and put the bun on the window to cool. The gingerbread man lay down, lay down, and suddenly rolled - from the window to the bench, from the bench to the floor, along the floor and to the doors. He jumped over the threshold into the vestibule, from the vestibule to the porch, from the porch to the yard, from the yard to the gate, further and further. nine0013
A bun rolls along the road, and a hare meets it: - Gingerbread Man, Gingerbread Man! I will eat you! -Don't eat me, slanting bunny! I'll sing you a song, said the bun, and sang: I'm scraped in a box, According to the bottom of the barrel, On sour cream bag Yes, fried in oil There is a frost on the window; I left my grandfather I left my grandmother And from you, a hare, it’s not cunning to get away! And rolled himself further; only the hare saw him!
A bun rolls, and a wolf meets it: Kolobok, kolobok! I will eat you! -Don't eat me, gray wolf! I'll sing you a song! And the bun sang: I'm scraped in a box, According to the bottom of the barrel, On sour cream bag Yes, fried in oil There is a frost on the window; I left my grandfather I left my grandmother I left the rabbit And from you, wolf, it’s not cunning to get away! And rolled himself further; only the wolf saw him! nine0013
A gingerbread man rolls, and a bear meets him: Kolobok, kolobok! I will eat you! - Where do you, clubfoot, eat me! And the bun sang: I'm scraped in a box, According to the bottom of the barrel, On sour cream bag Yes, fried in oil There is a frost on the window; I left my grandfather I left my grandmother I left the rabbit I left the wolf And from you, bear, do not cunningly leave! And he rolled again, only the bear saw him!
A bun rolls, and a fox meets it: Hello, kolobok! How pretty you are! And the bun sang: I'm scraped in a box, According to the bottom of the barrel, On sour cream bag Yes, fried in oil There is a frost on the window; I left my grandfather I left my grandmother I left the rabbit I left the wolf Left the bear And from you, fox, and even more so I will leave! nine0013
What a glorious song! - said the fox.
- But I, kolobok, have become old, I can't hear well. Sit on my face and sing it louder one more time. Kolobok jumped on the fox's muzzle and sang the same song. Thanks, kolobok! Nice song, would love to hear it! Sit on my tongue and sing one more time, - said the fox and stuck out his tongue. Kolobok foolishly jumped on her tongue, and the fox: "Am!", And ate it.
