Tamara Zebrova and Ukrainian folk rhymes

Ukrainian folk tales, songs and nursery rhymes

Illustrations by Tamara Zebrova

Отведи, пастушок,
Ты коня на лужок,
Там река глубока,
Там трава высока.
Конь бежит -
Трава шумит.
 Беги, беги, мой конь,
К беленькой хатке,
К девушке Гапке,
А девушка Гапка
Сидит на оконце,
Сидит на оконце,
Прядет волоконце.
Изведет нитку -
Сошьет свитку.
Изведет клубок -
Сошьет кожушок.

Слушай, котик Рябко,
Ты вскопай нам грядку,
Грядку-невеличку,
Грядку с рукавичку!
Мы посеем мак,
Мак и пастернак,
Да еще цветочки
Для сынка, для дочки.
Пусть пойдут ребятки
Погулять у грядки.

С неба гули прилетали.
Сели-пали, зашумели.
Ой вы, гули, не шумите,
Мою детку не будите.
Не мешайте, голуби.
Улетайте, голуби.

The wolf and the fox by Togolok Moldo

The book of Kirghiz national poet Togolok Moldo (1860-1942).
I even did not hope to find this book, and so, found it by accident!
Excellent illustrations, very good poems-fables, translated
from Kyrgyz into Russian. Yet one more fox to my collection!
The Fox is wearing the Kyrgyz national headdress - elechek.
Very funny fox!

The fable from this book is about the lazy dog, who is very frozen in winter,
but doesn't work in order to get a warm wool dress, very instructive story.
