think about the benefit, which I bring in an oak grove.
I want to say you, do not judge others by yourself
Then your head will not be swimming!”
And Squirrel bridled up the tail and jumped up on the barrel,
She disappeared in the leaves, only a rustle was heard.
Wild boar tried to heave up and gazed after the Squirrel
He pushed in earth his dirty nose, thinking about Squirrel…
Sometimes we like to judge each other,
We search for defects and evils.
We praise ourselves and think that all around must look like us
And we forget that all of us are different,
And we’re only able to act the role, That was given to us by fate.
Eagle and Parrot
Eagle sat on the branch of a tree and decided to relax,
He stretched out his wing and straightened his back
Then Eagle lifted up his head and saw above the Parrot.
Pretending that he doesn’t see, Eagle stretched out his wing,
And with half an eye he looked on Parrot.
And Parrot looked on Eagle from a height and copied all Eagles’
manners. He pulled up and mashed a back,
As though he flew all day and twirled as Eagle in the sky.
Looking at this circus, Eagle said:
“Brother, do you wish to fly with me and steam under the Sun,
And do you want to hunt, to taste my supper, truly?
If it’s true, let’s fly right now together
and I’ll look what you are on a business!”
Eagle threw up and straightened wings and Parrot followed him,
He was like Eagle, strong and brave, the proud and free bird.
Eagle flies to the sun. But Parrot loses forces and even goes behind
An eagle caught sight a hare that went at a jog-trot
He swooped down, tearing skies, to catch enormous booty
Eagle went down near the hare and grasped him by his pounce
And Parrot strangled in the sky, but imitates the Eagle.
In fact, he’s Eagle, isn’t he? And he did the same trick
But Parrot fell like a stone; he did not see the aim.
He dropped as if he had been shot he was tired so much
Parrot did not catch the hare and lost forces from loading.
He lies and stretches his wings on the field.
He’s more dead than alive…
Sometimes we copy our friends, sometimes we emulate.
We want to be in other place but not on our own.
We act against our essence and go against Nature
We make a laugh doing it and lose our delight…
Donkey and two Goats
Once in the light day, a dispute was made by two not young Goats.
The first tells to another and presses him by horn:
“You see my horns are very strong, how much force I have.
I’ll overcome you, foolish Goat!
The second Goat replies: “What are your horns! Look at my hoofs!
I will give on your sides by them; you’ll fly with horns in a ditch!”
A day ends, but Goats don’t stop. Donkey passed by,
He saw two debutants and he wanted to help them
“Why do you press each other, Goats, you’d rather calm down.
You, on the right hand, press down stronger, I will look!
But you press incorrectly!
And you, that on the left, move your hoof stronger!
My Brother, quarrel by yourselves. I am tired and bored
Shake a beard stronger, beat by hoof…
that’s all for you, my Brother
