Voron k voronu letit

 Voron k voronu letit,
 Voron k voronu krichit:
 ,,Voron, gde b nam [otobedat']1 ?
 [Kak]2 by nam o tom provedat'?``

 Voron voronu v otvet:
 ,,Znaju, budet nam obed;
 V chistom pole pod rakitoj
 Bogatyr' lezhit ubityj.

 Kem ubit i otchego,
 Znajet sokol lish' jego,
 [Da]3 kobylka voronaja,
 Da khozjajka molodaja.

 Sokol v roshchu uletel,
 Na kobylku nedrug sel,
 A khozjajka zhdjot milogo,
 Ne ubitogo, zhivogo.``
