The wife asks:

And the next day he went and did as his wife told him.
Everyone was very surprised by the resourcefulness of this man.
- He is a big braggart, - people say, - but with his mind he never could
boast of.
How did he guess so cleverly to win the argument?
Soon the whole town was talking about him. I reached the negus about him
glory.
Negus said:
Bring this man to me.
And when he came, the Negus had this conversation with him:
- Listen, they say about you that you are a narrow-minded person, but you are not
Any smart person would have guessed to answer like you. Maybe someone
taught?
The braggart confessed:
Yes, my wife taught me.
Negus didn't even believe it.
- Is it possible, - he asks, - do you have such a smart wife?
The braggart is happy to brag. Here he says:
- What a smart one! And what a beautiful one! And young!
Negus listened to him and said:
- The one that is so smart, and beautiful, and young, should be the wife of the negus.
Go and tell your wife about it.
The stupid husband came home and could not utter a word.
His wife asks:
What trouble happened to you again?
Husband says:
- Such a misfortune that it doesn't get worse. Today the negus called me to him and
began to ask if I myself had figured out how to win the argument. I told him that
it was you who taught me. Negus was very surprised that you are so smart, and I told him
said that you are smart, and young, and beautiful. Let him know what I have
wife!
And the negus, as he found out this, immediately says that if you are so smart,
both beautiful and young, so you will no longer be my wife, but you will be his
wife. What a disaster!
The wife listened to him and said:
- People tell the truth - whoever has a fast tongue has a slow mind.
Find someone to brag about! Before the negus! Well, what to do! Gotta now
fix trouble! Go back to the negus and tell him this: "Those words that you ordered
convey to my wife, brought her great joy. That's why my wife asks
welcome you to her for dinner, to taste the dishes that she has prepared, and
sweet honey drink."
The husband did just that - he went to call the Negus for dinner. And the wife
time began to host. I put a lot of bowls on the table - and
large, and small, and deeper, and smaller, for fish and for meat, for
sauces and for seasoning, - a handful of dust was poured into each bowl and closed
lid.
Then she threw a piece of cloth on each bowl - where is brocade, where is silk,
where is wool, and where is a simple linen rag. Some shreds are colorful, others
striped, third colorful. Some are new, others are dilapidated, barely holding on.
So she cleared the table and went to her half.
Soon the negus appeared with his entourage. Everyone sat down at the table.
The Negus ordered one bowl to be opened. The owner took off the silk patch,
with which it was closed, lifted the lid, but there was nothing in the bowl - only
a handful of dust.
Negus ordered another bowl to be opened. And it's the same with her.
Opened the third bowl. And there - nothing.
Negus was very angry.
He said:
- Where is this woman who planned to laugh at us? Call her!
And when she came, the negus asked:
- Are you making fun of me? Are you fooling me? Why did you scatter
on the table these rags? Why did you pour gray dust into the bowls?
The woman replied:
- O great negus! You are needlessly angry. I had no idea
laugh at you. But I didn't dare to hope that you would want to talk to
me.
Therefore, I decided - if not with words, then at least with hints to tell you about
what I think. Here you see on the table bowls covered with various shreds.
And in the bowls - dust, the same in all. Time will pass, and all the shreds -
beautiful and ugly, silk and linen - equally decay and all
turn into dust. Likewise, all women - whether they are beautiful or ugly -
age equally. And the one that was beautiful will lose hers over the years
beauty, and the one that was ugly will become in old age no worse than any
beauties.
Only a faithful heart - both in youth and in old age - remains the same
wonderful. That's what I wanted to tell you.
Negus listened to her with great surprise and said:
- I wanted harm to you and your husband, but you made me ashamed of my
desires.
So saying, he generously endowed the hosts with gold and left their house.
Then the husband said to his wife:
- Now I know that a good wife is an ornament to her husband. She is the most precious
treasure in his house. Who found good wife he got a happy life.

The cat took the mouse away
And sings: - Do not be afraid, baby.
Let's play for an hour
Cat and mouse, dear!

frightened little mouse
Answers her awake:
- In cat and mouse our mother
She didn't tell us to play.

Well, what do I care
What didn't she tell you?
Play with me my light! -
And the mouse answered her:

I would play a little
Only - mind! - I'll be a cat.
You, cat, even for an hour
Be a mouse this time!

The cat Murka laughed:
- Oh, you, smoky skin,
Whatever you call
A mouse cannot be a cat!

Mouse Murka says:
- Well then, let's play blind man's blind man!
Blindfold your eyes with a handkerchief
And catch me later.

The cat is blindfolded
But he looks out from under the bandage.
Let the mouse run away
And again, the poor thing - grab it!

A cat - laughter, a mouse - grief ...
He found a gap in the fence.
He doesn't know how he got through.
There was a mouse - but disappeared.

He rolled down the hill
Sees: a small mink.
An animal lived in this mink -
Long, narrow ferret.

sharp-toothed, sharp-eyed,
He was a thief and a creep
And it used to be every day
Stole chickens from the villages.

Here comes the ferret from hunting.
The guest asks: - Who are you?
Kohl fell into my hole,
Play my game!

In cat and mouse or blind man's blind man? -
The little mouse says nimble.

No, not in blindfolds. We ferrets
We love corners.

Well, let's play, but first
Consider, perhaps.

I am an animal
And you are an animal
I am a mouse
You are a ferret
You are cunning
And I'm smart
Who is smart
He got out!

Stop! - the ferret shouts to the mouse
And he runs after him.

And the mouse - right into the forest
And climbed under the old stump.
The squirrels began to call the mouse:
- Come out to play burners!

I have, he says,
Without a game, the back is on fire!

At this time along the path
There was an animal worse than a cat.
It looked like a brush.
It was, of course, a hedgehog.

And a hedgehog was walking towards
All in needles, like a dressmaker.

The hedgehog shouted to the mouse:
- You won't get away from hedgehogs!

Here comes my mistress
Play tag with her,
And with me in leapfrog.
Come out soon - I'm waiting!

And the mouse heard it,
Yes, I thought and did not come out.
- I do not want to leapfrog:
I'm on pins and needles!

Long waited for a hedgehog with a hedgehog,
And the mouse is quiet
On the path between the bushes
Slipped - and was like that!

He ran to the edge.
Hear the frogs croaking:
- Guard! Trouble! Qua-qua!
An owl is flying towards us!

Looked, mouse: rushing
Whether it's a cat or a bird
All pockmarked, crochet beak,
Feathers are variegated upright.
And the eyes are burning like bowls,
Twice as much as a cat.

The mouse lost its spirit.
He huddled under the burdock.

And the owl is getting closer, closer,
And the owl is lower and lower
And screams in the silence of the night:
- Play, my friend, with me!

The mouse squeaked: -
Hide-and-seek? -
And set off without looking back
Hiding in the cut grass.
Do not find his owl.

The owl searched until morning.
I couldn't see in the morning.
The old woman sat down on the oak
And the eyes of loops and loops.

And the mouse washed the stigma
Carried water and no soap
And went to look for his home,
Where were mother and father.

He walked, walked, climbed the hill
And below I saw a mink.

That's a happy mouse-mother!
Well, a little mouse to hug.
And sisters and brothers
They play mouse-mouse about him.
