- Oh, you smoky skin!
Whatever I call you,
A mouse cannot be a cat.
The mouse says to Murka:
- Well, then let's play blind man's buff!
Blindfold your eyes with a scarf
And catch me later.
The cat is blindfolded,
But he looks from under the bandage,
Let the mouse run away
And again the poor thing - grab it!
He says to the cunning cat:
- My legs are tired,
Please give me a little bit
I should lie down and rest.
Okay, said the cat,
Get some rest, short legged one.
Let's play and then
I'll eat you, darling!
Laughter for the cat, grief for the mouse...
But he found a gap in the fence.
He doesn’t know how he got through.
There was a mouse - but it disappeared!
The cat looks to the right, to the left:
- Meow-meow, where are you, baby? -
And the mouse answered her:
- Where I was, I’m no longer there!
He rolled down the hill,
He sees: a small mink.
An animal lived in this hole -
A long, narrow ferret.
Sharp-toothed, sharp-eyed,
He was a thief and a thief
And it happened every day
Stole chickens from villages.
Here comes the ferret from the hunt,
The guest asks: - Who are you?
Kohl fell into my hole,
Play my game!
Cat and mouse or blind man's buff? -
Says the nimble mouse.
- No, not blind man's buff. We ferrets
We love you more"corners".
Well, let's play, but first
Let's do the math:
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 runs after him,
And the mouse goes straight into the forest
And he climbed under an old stump.
The squirrels began to call the mouse:
- Come out and play burners!
“I have,” he says, “
Without playing, your back burns!
At this time along the path
There was an animal worse than a cat walking,
It looked like a brush.
It was, of course, a hedgehog.
And a hedgehog was walking towards
All covered in needles, like a dressmaker.
The hedgehog shouted to the mouse:
- You can’t escape hedgehogs!
Here comes my mistress,
Play tag with her,
And with me - in leapfrog.
Come out quickly - I'm waiting!
And the mouse heard it,
Yes, I thought about it and didn’t come out.
- I don’t want to go into leapfrog, -
I'll end up on pins and needles!
The hedgehog and the hedgehog waited a long time,
And the mouse is quiet and quiet
Along the path between the bushes
He slipped through - and there he was!
He reached the edge of the forest.
He hears frogs croaking:
- Guard! Trouble! Kwa-kwa!
An owl is flying towards us!
The mouse looked: he was rushing
Either a cat or a bird,
All speckled, crochet beak,
The feathers are variegated and erect.
And the eyes burn like little bowls, -
Twice as much as a cat.
The mouse's spirit froze.
He hid under a burdock.
And the owl is getting closer, closer,
And the owl keeps getting lower and lower
And shouts in the silence of the night:
- Play, my friend, with me!
The mouse squeaked: - Hide and seek! -
And he set off without looking back,
He disappeared into the mown grass.
An owl won't find it.
The owl searched until the morning.
In the morning I stopped seeing.
The old woman sat down on an oak tree
And the eyes magnify and magnify.
And the mouse washed his snout
Without water and without soap
And he went to look for his home,
Where were the mother and father?
He walked, walked, climbed the hill
And below I saw a mink.
The mother mouse is so happy!
Well, hug the mouse!
And sisters and brothers
They play mouse and mouse with him.
