Жил жилец,
На кустике дворец;
У него пять овец,
Шестой жеребец,
Седьмая телка.
Старуха и говорит старику: "Ох, какая песня-то славная! Старик, дай ему овечку". Старик дал ему, волк съел и опять пришел с этой же песнию, и ходил с нею до тех пор, пока не поел овец, жеребца, телку и старуху. Остался один старик; волк пришел и к нему с этой песнию. Старик взял кочергу и ну ею возить[180] волка. Волк убежал и с тех пор к старику ни ногой; а старик остался, горемычный, один горе мыкать.
