On they flew, as quick as thought-
In a trice, the thieves were caught.
Seeing him, his brothers
stared,
Scratched their heads, confused and scared
Wrathfully, Ivan exclaimed:
"Brothers, are you not ashamed!
Though you're clev'rer than Ivan,
Still, Ivan's an honest man.
I did not rob you-not I!"
Th'eldest, squirming, made reply:
"We are both to blame, I fear,
But, dear brother-listen here-
And, consider if you please
That we lead no life of ease;
Though we sow a lot of wheat,
We can hardly make ends meet.
Quit-rent's always overdue,
The police, they fleece us too.
So, Gavrilo, here, and I
All last night ne'er closed an eye
Talking of our sorry plight
And of how to put things right;
So, to meet our many needs,
We resolved to sell your steeds
For a thousand at the fair-
Not a ruble less, I swear;
And, in gratitude to you,
Bring you back a gift or two-
High-heeled boots of finest leather,
And a cap, with bells and feather.
Then-the old man's frail and ailing-
He can work no more-he's failing,
Yet must dodder out his span-
Come, you're not a fool, Ivan."
"If that's so," Ivan said, "well,
I suppose you'd better sell
My two golden-crested horses-
Take me with you-let's join forces.'
If thoughts could, their thoughts wo
But, perforce, they feigned goodwill
Soon the sky grew overcast,
Colder, colder blew the blast,
So they called a bivouac
So as not to lose the track,
In a wood; the steeds were made
ast beneath its leafy shade;
There they made themselves at ease,
Ate and drank beneath the trees,
After which, in happy mood,
Each made merry as he could.

The blonde and the farmer
There was a blonde that was
so sick of blonde jokes she died her hair red. The jokes stopped and she felt so good, she
took a ride in the country one Saturday afternoon. While on this ride, she noticed a flock
of sheep and stopped the car to take in their beauty. She noticed the farmer just standing
there watching too. She walked up to him asked some questions on raising sheep. She then
asked, "If I can guess how many sheep are in your flock, can I have one"? The
farmer agreed. She guessed, 387. The farmer said that was correct. So, go take your pick
on which one you want. She went into the flock and then to her car. The farmer stopped
her, and asked, "If I can guess what your natural hair color is, can I have my DOG
back"?

Invitation to Orel. Visit Orel. Orel is a provincial town.
It keeps carefully traditions of great Russian writers, who lived and were born here.
It's a stone's throw from Orel to the both capitals: Moscow and St. Petersburg, but cost
