Falcon and Zhigul

Falcon Lived there were two brothers: the Falcon and Zhigul. Never they were separated. The Falcon had sentry dog. She(it) protected rest of brothers. The Falcon has very strictly ordered, that the dog sharp-sighted bore(carried) sentry, drove away away animals and birds, and valiant people. But even more strictly the Falcon that his(its) true dog did not admit close Volga punished. About, Volga is greedy, wilful! It would be desirable it(her) to escape on open space and a straight line, in the shortest way to run to the sea. She(it) is artful, that kind, can separate brothers.

For a long time already between them there was a struggle. Volga made advances to brothers and all was selected to them closly and closly. Frequently sent on investigation of the servants - waves. They crept, felt and they licked sides of brothers.

The sentry dog ran out forward and barked - awakened the Falcon and his(its) brother. Brothers woke up and drove from themselves waves. They came back. And Volga again reflected, as to it(her) to steal up to unseparable brothers. She(it) has learned(found out), that the Falcon loves beauties. For him(it) was great pleasure when they rose on his(its) abrupt shoulders and a mighty breast. Beauties broke yellow flowers which in their hands turned in scarlet. The falcon was proud of that had magic to give colors, growing on his(its) shoulders, any paints and smells. And if the dog suddenly started to bark at beauties, it(he) beat her(it) that did not bark at whom does not follow.

Volga has learned(found out) all this. Has dressed up a beauty whom the Falcon, Zhigul never had see. Also has approached to brothers. Both they inexpressibly were delighted. And the dog does not bark - is afraid, that the Falcon of her(it) again did not begin to beat. Volga sees, that brothers are captivated by its(her) beauty. Has grown bolder, has sighed all breast, has strained and has struck from all to scope so has struck that brothers have cracked, were distributed in the different parties(sides)...

The dog only also has had time to give a yelp - wow-wow. These sounds on top of the Falcon yes there have fallen and have stood. And the dog has departed from a strong shake-up to waters of Volga which was already born(carried), laughing and frisking, between two brothers...

And cost(stand) now the Falcon and Zhigul, divided(shared) by mighty and capricious Volga. Recently we went on Valiant barrow. There very much it was pleasant to us. Speak, that when Russian tsar Ivan Terrible has stopped in Zhigulevskih mountains, it(he) has wanted to count the army. And then tsar ordered to throw to each soldier on one and too a place on a handful of the ground. When the army has fulfiled the order, the barrow - giant was formed of handfuls of the ground. Also began to name it(him) Valliant barrow.
