Herein are 10 well illustrated Russian stories for children compiled and retold by Vallery Carrick. This is a collection of ten fantastic stories about Russian peasant life for young children. Because life on the steppe and in the forests was so dependent on animals and farming, it is not surprising to find comical interactions of humans with animals, particularly bears, the symbol of Russia. The text is amply illustrated with pen and ink drawings throughout. Valerian (Vallery) Carrick (1869-1942) was a Norwegian author, translator, painter and Illustrator. He wrote “Picture Folk Tales” and followed this up with “More Russian Picture Tales”. Bothe were originally published in 1914 but proved so popular a rerun was ordered in 1920. The gap between the two could be ascribed to the effects of WWI on commerce. The stories and adventures in this volume are: The Cock and the Bean The Goat and the Ram The Hungry Wolf The Peasant and the Bear The Dog and the Cock King Frost The Bear's Paw The Bear and the Old Man's Daughters The Straw Ox The Fox and the Blackbird So, wrap up warm and come out onto the Russian steppe with me, and let us listen and watch, and I promise you it will be worthwhile. This volume is sure to keep you and your young ones enchanted for hours, if not because of the quantity, then the quality of the stories. They will have you and your loved ones coming back for more, time and again. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Children’s stories, Childrens, Folklore, Fairy, Folk, Tales, bedtime story, legends, storyteller, fables, moral tales, myths, happiness, laughter, , angry, animals, awl, axe, bark, bean, Bear, beast, beautiful, beaver, birch, blackbird, bloom, boil, bones, bottom, bow wow, boy, bread, Bruin, charcoal, chicken, clever, cock-a-doodle-do, cottage, daughter, delight, den, dogs, ducks, face, farmyard, flax, fox, frost, freeze, funny, gateway, gold, goose, guest, hay cutter, hay make, hens, hoar-frost, hobble, honey, Horse, icicle, King, queen, lime tree, lumber, master, Mistress, O-ho, old, oven, peasant, Peter, pleasure, poppy, queer, Ram, ride, sack, sing, scarf, scold, shiver, shoes, silver, sledge, sleigh, smith, spring, step daughter, step mother, tail, tale, village, wander, wolf, wool, Wow-wow, yard, young

The Cock and the Bean
A cock was scratching one day in the earth under the wall of a cottage when he found a bean.
He tried to swallow it, and choked himself. He choked himself and stretched himself out, and there he lay, and couldn't even breathe.
And his mistress saw him, ran up to him, and asked: “Mr. Cock, what makes you lie there like that, so that you can't breathe?”
“I've choked myself with a bean,” he answered. “Go and ask the cow for some butter.”
And his mistress came to the cow and said: “Mrs. Cow, give me some butter! My cock is lying there and can't even breathe, he has choked himself with a bean.”
And the cow answered: “Go and ask the hay-makers for some hay.”
And she came to the hay-makers and said: “Hay-makers, give me some hay! The hay's for the cow who will give me some butter, and the butter's for my cock who is lying there and can't breathe, he's choked himself with a bean.” And the hay-makers answered: “Go and ask the oven to give you some loaves.”
And she came to the oven and said: “Oven, oven, give me some loaves! The loaves are for the hay-makers, who will give me some hay, the hay's for the cow, who will give me some butter, and the butter's for my cock who is lying there and can't breathe, he's choked himself with a bean.”
And the oven answered: “Go and ask the wood-cutters for some wood.”
And she came to the wood cutters and said: “Give me some wood! The wood's for the oven, who will give me some loaves, the loaves are for the hay-cutters, who will give me some hay, the hay's for the cow, who will give me some butter, the butter's for my cock who is lying there and can't breathe, he's choked himself with a bean.”
And they answered: “Go and ask the smith for an axe, we've nothing to cut the wood with.”
So she came to the smith and said: “Smith, smith, give me an axe! The axe is for the wood-cutters, who will give me some wood, the wood's for the oven, who will give me some loaves, the loaves are for the hay-makers, who will give me some hay, the hay's for the cow, who will give me some butter, and the butter's for my cock who is lying there and can't breathe, he's choked himself with a bean.” And he answered: “Go into the forest and burn me some charcoal.”
So she went into the forest, gathered a bundle of sticks, and burned some charcoal. Then she took the charcoal to the smith, and he gave her an axe. She went with the axe to the wood-cutters, and the wood-cutters gave her some wood. The wood she took to the oven, and the oven gave her some loaves.
She took the loaves to the hay-makers, and the hay-makers gave her some hay. The hay she took to the cow, who gave her some butter. She brought the butter to the cock, and the cock gulped it down and swallowed the bean.
Then he jumped up merrily and started singing “Cock-a-doodle-doo! I was sitting under the wall, plaiting shoes, when I lost my awl, but I found a little coin, and I bought a little scarf, and gave it to a pretty girl.”
And that's all about it.
The Goat and the Ram
Once upon a time there lived a man and his wife, and they had a goat and a ram.
And one day the man said to his wife: “Look here, let's get rid of the ram and the goat; why, they only keep eating our corn, and don't help to feed us at all!”
