The Spotted Hen

Once there lived an old man and an old woman
and they had a spotted hen.
One day the hen laid an egg.
Not a simple egg but a golden one.
The old man tried to break it and couldn’t.
The old woman tried to break it and couldn’t.
A mouse went by, wagged her tail, the egg rolled, fell down and broke.
The old man cried, the old woman cried,
but the hen clucked- Don’t you cry grandpa, don’t you cry grandma,
I’ll lay a new egg, and not a golden but a simple one.
Snegurochka

Курочка ряба

(Русская народная сказка)

Жили-были дед да баба. Была у них курочка ряба. Снесла курочка яичко, не простое – золотое.
Дед бил, бил – не разбил.
Баба била, била – не разбила.
Мышка бежала, хвостиком задела, яичко упало и разбилось.
Дед плачет, баба плачет, а курочка кудахчет:
– Не плачь, дед, не плачь, баба: снесу вам яичко не золотое – простое!

and they didn’t have children.
One winter they decided to sculpt a granddaughter
