All the same, how deeply and truly Krylov's fables reflect the essence of many people. LJ presents a wide range of such characters. I especially like this fable, since one of the real ZhZhnikov does not let me forget about Krylov and myself :)))))
The elephant was driven through the streets,
As seen for show -
Known, that Elephants are a wonder with us -
So crowds of onlookers followed the Elephant.[1]
Breakaway, to meet Pug them.
Seeing the Elephant, well rush at him,
And bark, and squeal, and break,
Ну, and gets into a fight with him.
"Neighbor, stop being ashamed ",
10Her mongrel says: "You eh to mess with the Elephant?
Look, you're wheezing, and he goes to himself
Вперед
And he doesn't notice your bark at all. " [2]
“Eh, eh!"Pug answers her:
“This is what gives me the spirit,
Что я, no fight at all,
I can get into big bullies.
Let the dogs speak:
“The moon, Моська! know she's strong,
20What Barks at the Elephant!»
