The Bird and the Bush - a Hungarian tale -
The little bird flies to the bush and says: Please let me sleep
on you!
But the bush says: I dont want to!
And the bush doesnt let the bird sleep on it.
So the bird flies to the goat and says: Please eat the bush!
But the goat says: I dont want to!
The goat doesnt eat the bush
and the bush doesnt let the bird sleep on it.
So the bird flies to the wolf and says: Please bite the
goat!
But the wolf says: I dont want to!
The wolf doesnt bite the goat, the goat doesnt eat the bush,
and the bush doesnt let the bird sleep on it.
So the bird flies to the village and says: Please catch the
wolf!
But the people in the village say: We dont want to!
The village doesnt catch the wolf, the wolf doesnt bite the
goat,

and the bush doesnt let the bird sleep on it.
