Fox-judge

There was one обезьянка— the fidget, as all monkeys. Everywhere it climbed, everywhere pried.

Once увидала обезьянка a heap of stones, also its curiosity has overcome. "It is necessary to learn, that here it is hidden!" Has scattered stones, and the hole has opened.— Whether has put unruly there the paw— something will get delicious,— and the huge snake has crept out of a hole!

The snake has got out of a gloomy imprisonment and as will hiss as will rush on обезьянку.

"Bad my head!— Scolds itself обезьянка.— Well that I have got into this hole? Whether an oil jug thought to find?"

— Take pity over me, a great dragon!— She began to ask a snake.— Would know, that here your possession, never would dare to break your rest!

But unless the snake can regret? What it then a snake!

— There is no to you a pardon!— It has hissed.— You have woken me and only death will expiate the fault!

To this time by them there was a fox. Обезьянка was наслышана about the fox dodges and has stopped it.

— Start up a wise fox will judge our dispute,— speaks unfortunate обезьянка.

— All right, tell, the fox, the word,— has agreed a snake.

— Witnesses are not present, and I saw nothing. How to me to judge you on justice?— The fox speaks.— Show, how all was from the very beginning. You, a snake, all right to creep back in a hole, and you, обезьянка, work to collect stones in a heap.

Dragon the reasonable judge has liked.

— I sat in the hole. Here so,— the snake has told.— She has put a head in a hole and has slowly disappeared.

— Now business for you, do not delay!— The fox обезьянке, artfully winking at it has whispered.

Обезьянка has quickly filled up a hole with stones. And then the fox has told:

— Listen my court, an ungrateful snake. You were angry that have set you free so sit now in the dark hole and sleep how many you will wish! Silly обезьянка not begins to disturb your dream more.

And since then обезьянка it has ceased to be put, where does not follow.
