Once upon a time an old man and old woman. Once an old woman chopped cabbage and accidentally otru-
beat finger. Wrapped it in cloth and put it on the bench.
Suddenly, I heard – someone on the bench crying. She unfolded the cloth, but it
boy is the size of a finger.
Surprised old woman was frightened:
- Who are you?
- I am your son, the people of your little finger.
Took his old, looks – a tiny boy, a tiny, barely on the earth’s
Whether seen. And called him Tom Thumb.
He began to grow them. Growth of a boy not grown wiser and more mind-
first appeared.
Here it is again and says:
- Where is my father?
- I went on the land.
- I shall go to him, I will help.
- Go, my child. He arrived on the land:
- Hello, sir!
Old man looked around:
- What a miracle! The voice I hear, but do not see anyone. Who’s talking to
me?
- I – your son. He came to help you plow. Sit down, sir, procured materials
si da rest a little!
Glad the old man sat down to dinner. A boy with a finger got into the horse in
ear and began to plow, and his father punished:
- Koli who will sell me, sell boldly: I suppose – not perish,
I come back home,
Here comes by a gentleman, and looks divuetsya: horse goes plow yelling, and Th-
Rights do not.
- This is another kind not seen, had never heard that the horse she co-
fight plowed!
The old man tells his master:
- What you really blind? That my son plowed.
- Sell it to me!
- No, not selling: we only joy and the old woman, and only joy,
that boy with a finger.
- Sell it, Grandpa!
- Well, let a thousand rubles.
- Why so expensive?
- You see yourself: the boy is small, but daring, swift on foot, on a parcel is easy!
The gentleman paid a thousand rubles, took the boy, put him in his pocket and Rule of Law-
Hal home.
A boy with a finger gnawing a hole in my pocket and walked away from his master.
He walked and walked, and pristigla its dark night.
He hid under a blade of grass beside the road and fell asleep.
Passed over a hungry wolf and swallowed it.
Boy with finger sits in the belly of the wolf alive, and woe to him a little!
Bad had gray wolf: he sees a flock, the sheep graze, the shepherd
asleep, and only carry a sheep creep – A boy with a finger and shout at
his voice:
- Shepherd, shepherd, sheep’s spirit! Asleep, and the wolf drags the sheep!
A shepherd woke up, ran to the wolf with a club and even pritravit
his dogs, and dogs to tear him well – just pieces fly! Barely leaves
gray wolf!
Very emaciated wolf, had to disappear from starvation. He asked the boy with
fingers:
- Crawled out!
- Take me home to my father and mother, so get out.
Do nothing. Wolf ran to the village, jumped right in to the old man out
bu.
Tom Thumb immediately jumped out of the wolf’s belly:
- Beat the wolf, Gray beat!
The old man grabbed the poker, old oven fork – and let’s beat the wolf. Here he and
decided to do, removed skin and coat son did.
