Riaba the Hen

Once there was an Old Man and an Old Woman. They had a speckled Han. The Han laid an egg, not an ordinary one, but a golden one.

The Old Man hit it and hit it but could not break it. The Old Woman hit it and hit it but could not break it.

They both hit it and hit it but could not break it. A Mouse ran past, waved its tail, the egg fell and broke. The Old Man and the Old woman cried, the Han cackled: “Don`t cry the Old Man, don`t cry the Old Woman. I will lay toy a new egg, not a golden one, but an ordinary one.
