Gently patted each steed's spine,
Felt their necks, so sleek and fine.
After he had gazed his fill,
He turned round with right goodwill,
Saying: "My good people, who
Owns these handsome chargers two?
Who's the master?" Here, Ivan,
Arms akimbo, like a Pan*,
Pushed his brothers both aside,
Puffed his cheeks and proudly cried:
"Tsar, these steeds belong to me,
I'm their owner, too, you see."
"Will you sell them to me, say?"
"No, I'm swapping them today."
"What will you be taking, then?"
"Twice five caps-and that makes ten,
Full of silver-that's my price!"
So the coins were in a trice
Counted out-the Tsar, in pleasure,
Gave five rubles for good measure-
Generous a tsar was he!
Ten grey grooms in livery,
Trimmed with gold and silver slashes,
Each with gaily coloured sashes,
Each with saffian whip in hand,
Took the horses' bridles, and
Led them to the Royal Palace,
But the steeds, in play, or malice,
Tripped their grooms and straightway r
Bridles broken, to Ivan.

Joke
A big-game hunter went on safari with his wife and
mother-in-law. One evening, while still deep in the jungle,
the Mrs. awoke to find her mother gone.
Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to
find her mother. The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig
of whiskey, and started to look for her.
In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling
sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick,
impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood facing her.
The wife cried, "What are we going to do?"
"Nothing," said the hunter husband. "The lion got himself
into this mess, let him get himself out of it."
