Bremen Town Musicians

Once upon a time, a man had a donkey. This donkey tirelessly took the sacks to the mill for years. But he no longer had any strength and was useless. The owner didn't want to feed him in vain. The donkey also sensed that things were not going well, so he set out and took the road to Bremen. He thought he could become a city musician there.

Thus the donkey went little, he went far, he went straight up and down the stream; He came across a hunting dog lying along the road. The animal was panting like a dog tired of running. Donkey asked:
– Why are you breathing like this, watchman father?

Dog:
- Don't ask, he said, I'm old. I'm losing strength day by day. My owner wanted to kill me because I couldn't run while hunting... So I ran away. I don't know how I will feed myself from now on!

Donkey:
- Should I tell you something, he said, I'm going to Bremen... I'll be a city musician... Come with me, join the band too! I play the lute, you play the drums...

The dog liked this suggestion. The two of them set out together. It hasn't been long. They saw a cat on the side of the road. There are a thousand pieces falling off the cat's face.

Donkey:
- What is that? Have you gotten into trouble, old man? said.

– How can one be cheerful when fires are burning in one's head? I'm older now. My teeth have become dull... Instead of chasing the mice, I sit behind the stove and doze off. That's why my wife wanted to throw me into the water and drown me. I ran away, but last regret doesn't help. Where should I go now?

– Come with us. It is known that you understand music. Once you get there, you will become a city harmonica player!

The cat welcomed these words and set off with them.

While these three runaways were passing by a farm, they saw a rooster crowing above the gate of the greeting house; donkey:

– Your voice penetrates a person's marrow and bones... What's the matter, my dear? said. Cockerel:

– I informed you that the weather would be nice. Today is our beloved lady's day. He washed "Kristkind"'s shirt. He wants to dry it. But tomorrow is Sunday, guests will come. That's why the lady told the cook without any mercy. He will eat my soup tomorrow. I'm going to have my head cut off tonight anyway. I thought I would scream until my throat ruptured.

"Poor colonel," he said, "then you'd better come with us." We are going to Bremen. Wherever you are, you can find something better than death. You have a beautiful voice... It will definitely be nice if we all sing together.
The rooster liked this suggestion. The four of them set off together.

They could not reach Bremen in one day. In the evening, they came to a forest; They said let's spend the night here. The donkey and the dog lay down under a big tree. The cat and the rooster also climbed onto the branches, but the rooster found the top branches safer and flew there and perched. The rooster looked around once more before falling asleep. He seemed to see a small light in the distance and called out to his friends: "There is a light, there must be a house nearby!" said.

Donkey:

– Then let's get up and go there immediately. He said it is not comfortable here.
He thought the dog would like it if he found a few pieces of bones and some meat there.

Thereupon, they set out towards the direction of the light. As we approached, the brightness of the light increased. Finally, they came to the house where the bandits were sheltering.

Since the biggest one among them was the donkey, he approached the window and looked inside. The rooster asked:

– What do you see, daddy?

Donkey:

– What am I seeing? said. A table has been set... There is all kinds of food and drink on it... The bandits are sitting and enjoying themselves.

Cockerel:

"It's a job perfect for us," he said.

Donkey:

- Oh don't ask brother, he said, what would happen if we were at the head of this table?

How do we get the bandits out of here? ' came a voice in everyone's mind. Finally they found a solution: The donkey will lift its front legs and put them against the window. The dog will ride on the donkey's back. The cat will climb on the dog. The rooster will also fly and land on the dog's head!

They did as they said. Then, when someone gave the signal, they all started singing in unison: The donkey brayed, the dog barked, the cat meowed, and the rooster crowed. Then, with a bang, they burst in through the window!
When the bandits heard this terrible shout, they jumped into the air. They probably thought a ghost had entered. They left the house and started running towards the forest.

Then the four friends sat around the table and attacked the remains of the bandits. They snacked on food as if they had been hungry for forty years.
When the four musicians finished their work, they turned off the light. Everyone looked for a place where they could feel comfortable: the donkey was lying on the manure, the dog was behind the door, the cat was next to the hot ashes on the stove, and the rooster was on a perch...
