1-4 The raven and the little Hare
The raven was sliding along the high hill.
He broke his wing, and slid down into the river like a stone.
The cold river washed him away.
Suddenly he saw the hare on the riverbank that he had previously teased all the time.
But he had forgotten about that. The raven shouted:- Hey, neighbor, help me, I'm about to drown...The hare did not even see the raven, but collected a lot of firewood.
The hare brought a lot of firewood.
His mother boiled a lot of tea.
She called the neighbor to drink the tea.
Everybody praised the little hare for bringing the firewood.The neighbor, the raven's mother asked:- Did anyone see my son?Everybody said:- No, we did not see him.Only the hare said that he saw the raven go out to the neighbor.The hare went to bed, and said to his mother:- Tomorrow let's move.- In another place, raven's mother will not tease you.- I don't like to see the raven's mother.The hare and his mother moved to a new place.
