Telling Fairy Tales 1. Reynard. Poem by Konstantin Ananin

- Do you know the fairy tale
How Reynard lost his tail?
- His tail? I know he can steal everything.
- Yes, people and animals don’t like his things.
In this tale he stole a goose, a goat, a pot of dough.
- His tail, how did he lose it?
- Well, he thought, “I’ve stolen a lot, I know,
But I want some chicken, only a bit.”
He quickly ran into a hen house then,
But ran back with neither his tail nor hen
And cried, “I’ve lost my beauty!
Oh, my tail! What a pity! ”
