“Cat, rooster and fox”, Afanasyev A.N.

One of the most beloved folk tales from the collection of A. N. Afanasyev “Russian Children's Tales”. This collection was published more than a hundred years ago and has been in constant popularity since then. Its author, a well-known folklorist of the 19th century, retelling fairy tales for children, not only carefully preserved the intonation and language of folk storytellers in them, but also managed to convey the very spirit of the Russian people. In a fairy tale about how the fox stole the rooster, and the cat saved him and punished the fox, the faith of people in the triumph of truth and justice is approved.
