Greed does not lead up to good
One guy on a market has gone to sell a basket of eggs. Has put on a basket a stick and has incurred on a shoulder. There is a guy, goes, and itself speaks:
— I here bear three hundreds eggs. I will sell them on a market on a money for egg, I will gain three hundred money; and it will be possible to sell on two - I will gain six hundred. On this money I will buy свинку. I will bring up it, and it will bring to me twelve pigs — all свинок. Twelve will grow up my свинок, and everyone will bring on dozen pigs; and pigs will grow up, опоросятся, will bring too on a dozen. You look — here to you and the whole herd of pigs! I in wood will graze this herd — start up pigs acorns are fed. Will eat acorns, will be fattened, fat become, I on a market will lead them. All пораспродам, I will gain a heap of money. Then I to myself will buy a good horse, and itself I will shave, помоюсь, I will dress up, I will sit down astride the white racer, a cap aslant and — айда! I will jump at full speed — directly to цареву to a court yard. I will arrive — I will skip all day long on a game before царевым a court yard; the horse hoofs will stir all field. And царева the daughter will take seat on a high porch, at me will look yes to admire. And here I will woo to царевой to a daughter, and I marry it. She to me also will give birth to the son, and name we it Богданчо. I will go on a market, the purchase to it of apples. I will come home — Богданчо will run out to me towards to collars, and I will bend down, yes I will embrace him, yes I will tell: «Поди to me, sonny Богданчо, поди to тятьке, it will give you an apple».
The guy was forgot, has stretched pyкy — wished to show, how will embrace sonny Богданчо, and a stick and slide off at it a shoulder. A basket бух on the earth! Eggs have broken.
The guy has begun to cry:
— Эх, a grief! All my riches were gone!
It began to select eggs — that has not been into smithereens broken, and suddenly sees — after it on road there is a person.
It became a shame to the guy, and he here asks the passer-by:
— Tell, побратим, long you followed me trace?
And that to it in the answer:
— From that to hour as you began to grow rich and while all at you has not ruined.
