Fox, not seeing Leo's kind,
Having met him, with passions she remained a little alive.
Here, a little later, she again caught a lion,
But it didn't look so scary to her.
And then a third time
The fox started talking with the Lion.
We are also afraid of something else
As long as we don't look at him.
Chizh and Dove
Chizha was slammed by the villainess-trap:
The poor thing in it was torn and rushed about,
And the young Dove mocked him.
“Aren't you ashamed,” he says, “in broad daylight
Gotcha!
Wouldn't have taken me like this:
For this I vouch boldly.”
An, look, he immediately got himself entangled in a snare.
And business!
Do not laugh at someone else's misfortune, Dove.
Wolf and Shepherds
The wolf, closely bypassing the shepherd's yard
And seeing through the fence
That, having chosen the best ram in the herd,
Quietly Shepherds gutting lamb,
And the dogs lie quietly,
He himself said to himself, walking away in annoyance:
"What a fuss you all made here, friends,
When would I do it!”
Waterfall and Stream
Boiling Waterfall, overthrown from the rocks,
He said to the healing key with arrogance
(Which under the mountain was barely noticeable,
But he was famous for his healing power):
“Isn't it strange? You are so small, so poor in water,
Do you always have a lot of guests?
No wonder if someone comes to me to marvel;
Why are they coming to you?" - "treat" -
The brook murmured humbly.
Boy and snake
The boy, thinking to catch an eel,
He grabbed the Serpent and, looking up, from fear
He became as pale as his shirt.
The snake, calmly looking at the Boy:
“Listen,” he says, “if you don’t get smarter,
That insolence is not always easy for you to pass.
This time God will forgive; but watch out ahead
And know who you're joking with!
Sheep and Dogs
In a flock of sheep,
So that the Wolves could no longer disturb them,
It is supposed to multiply the number of Dogs.
Well? Divorced so many of them, finally
That the Sheep from the Wolves, it is true, survived,
But dogs also need to eat.
First, the wool was removed from the Sheep,
And there, by lot, the skins flew from them,
And there were only five or six Sheep left,
And those dogs ate.
Rooster and pearl grain
I will dung up a bunch of tearing,
The Rooster Found the Pearl Seed
And he says: “Where is it?
What an empty thing!
Isn't it stupid that he is so highly valued?
And I would really be much more glad
Grain of Barley: it is not so at least visible,
Yes, satisfying.
***
The ignoramuses judge exactly like this:
What's the point of not understanding, then everything is a trifle for them.
Cloud
Over the side exhausted from the heat
The Big Cloud has passed;
Not a drop of refreshing her alone,
She poured like a big rain over the sea
And she boasted of her generosity before the Mountain,
“What? did good
Are you so generous? -
Mountain told her. -
And it doesn't hurt to look at it!
Whenever you pour your rain on the fields,
You would have saved the whole region from hunger:
And in the sea without you, my friend, there is enough water.
The Peasant and the Fox (Book Eight)
The fox once said to the Peasant:
"Tell me, my dear friend,
How did a horse earn such friendship from you,
What, I see, is she always with you?
In contentment you keep her in the hall;
On the road, you are with her, and often with her in the field;
But of all the animals
She's hardly the dumbest of all." -
“Oh, gossip, the power is not in the mind! -
The peasant answered. - All this is vanity.
My goal is not the same.
I need her to drive me
Yes, to obey the whip.
Fox and grapes
Hungry godmother Fox climbed into the garden;
In it, the grapes were reddened.
The gossip's eyes and teeth flared up;
And brushes juicy, like yachts, burn;
The only problem is that they hang high:
Whence and how she comes to them,
Though the eye sees
Yes, the tooth is numb.
Breaking through the whole hour in vain,
She went and said with annoyance:
"Well!
Looks like he's good
Yes, green - no ripe berries:
You will immediately set the teeth on edge."
Falcon and Worm
At the top of a tree, clinging to a branch,
The worm swung on it.
Above the Worm the Falcon, rushing through the air,
So from a height he joked and scoffed:
“What you, poor thing, did not endure!
What profits that you crawled so high?
What is your will and freedom?
And with a branch you bend where the weather dictates. -
"It's easy for you to joke, -
The worm answers - flying high,
Then, that you are strong and strong with wings;
But fate gave me the wrong dignity:
I'm here on top
The only thing I hold on to is that, fortunately, I am tenacious!
Dog and Horse
Serving one peasant
The Dog and the Horse somehow began to be considered.
“Here,” says Barbos, “the big lady!
For me, if only you were completely driven out of the yard.
Great thing to carry or plow!
Not to hear of your remoteness:
And can you be equal in what with me?
Day or night I do not know peace:
During the day, the herd under my supervision in the meadow,
And at night I guard the house.
“Of course,” the Horse answered, “
Your truthful speech;
However, whenever I plow,
Then there would be nothing for you to guard here.
Mouse and Rat
“Neighbour, have you heard the good word? -
Running in, the Mouse said to the Rat, -
After all, the cat, they say, fell into the claws of a lion?
Now it’s time for us to relax!”
"Do not rejoice, my light, -
The Rat says to her in response, -
And do not hope in empty!
If it reaches their claws,
That's right, the lion will not be alive:
There is no beast stronger than a cat!
How many times have I seen, take it for yourself:
When a coward is afraid of whom,
That thinks that
The whole world looks through his eyes.
Peasant and Rogue
Peasant, starting a house committee,
I bought a pail and a cow at the fair
And with them through the oak
Quietly wandered home by a country road,
When suddenly the Robber got caught.
Robber Peeled off the Muzhik like sticky.
“Have mercy,” the Peasant will cry, “I am lost,
You totally got me!
For a whole year I was going to buy a cow:
I've been looking forward to this day."
"Good, don't cry at me, -
He said, complaining, Rogue.
And truly, after all, I can’t milk a cow;
So be it
Take your pail back."
frog and ox
The frog, seeing Ox in the meadow,
She herself ventured to catch up with him in stature:
She was envious.
And well, bristle, puff and pout.
“Look, wah, what, will I be with him?”
Girlfriend says. "No, gossip, far away!" -
“Look how now I swell up widely.
Well, what's it like?
Have I replenished? - "Almost nothing."
"Well, how now?" - "All the same." Puffed and puffed
And my entertainer ended on that
That, not being equal to the Ox,
It burst with an effort and - died.
***
There is more than one example of this in the world:
And is it any wonder when a tradesman wants to live,
As a distinguished citizen
And the fry is small, like a nobleman?
Both children and adults love to read and listen to fables. The texts of the fables are ancient. They appeared a very long time ago. In ancient Greece, for example, Aesop's fables were known in prose. The most prominent and sensational fables of modern times were the fables of Lafontaine. In Russian poetry, many fabulists have shown themselves, but the fables of Krylov, Tolstoy and Mikhalkov have become the most famous.
What is a fable and how does it differ from a fairy tale or a poem? The main difference between a fable and other literary genres is the moralizing and often even satirical nature of writing. Although the main characters of the fables are animals or even objects, the story is still about people, and their vices are ridiculed. And of course, an integral part of the fable is its moral. More often pronounced, written at the end of the fable, and sometimes veiled, but in any case understandable.
As for the origin of fables, there are only two concepts. The first of them is German, and the second is American. The German one says that fairy tales about animals were born from myths, from which, in turn, children's fables began to stand out separately, the basis of which was the text, and morality was already an addition unusual for a fairy tale. The American school believes that the moral of the fable is the basis, but the text of the fable for children is an addition that might not exist.
The fables that have survived to this day, with rare exceptions, represent animals as the main characters. For example, a fox or a wolf behave like people and talk like people. At the same time, one or more human vices are attributed to each animal, which are condemned. The usual cunning of a fox, the wisdom of an owl, the cunning of a snake and other virtues or vices. The characteristic features of people are often clearly traced.
Fables for children are also good because they are very small in size, they are read quickly, regardless of whether they are in verse or prose, and therefore they are perceived better. You will not have time to lose the thread, but perceive the meaning on the fly, often even children immediately understand the morality and all the conclusions. You can read more than one children's fable at a time, but several at once, but you shouldn't be zealous either - the child's interest will be lost and the meaning of reading will disappear.
Sometimes there are unique fables for children, which are always well-known, and whose heroes are so characteristic characters that their names are often used as common nouns. In this section, we collect the fables of the best authors, those who really brought something new to this genre and are recognized fabulists of world literature.
CAT AND GIANT
The Cat shouted to the Giant, they say, I do not believe,
That you will take the form of any animal!
Only one thing will convince me -
You will immediately turn into a mouse!
To dispel the cat's doubts,
The Giant became a mouse in an instant.
But the Cat, alas, could not catch her,
Since she, flying up to the ceiling,
Fucked the cat with some bunch ...
As it turned out, the mouse was a bat!
Moral: As they say, in edification -
Correctly formulate the task!
ALMOST BY KRYLOV
Donkey, goat, naughty monkey,
Arctic fox, eagle and clumsy bear...
Badger and beetle, tiger cub and she-wolf,
Hamster, spider, kitten and tigress,
Fox, goat, yes 33 cows
Started to play an orchestra ...
And then everything was like Krylov's,
But more discordant and shitty ...
CAMEL - WINNER
One camel, even though it was humpbacked
Once became a laureate
And the role of a handsome trotter
He got high but
there was a camel ride
And there was no people in the district
to ride a camel
And again the camel began to spit...
spit so delicious... so rich...
On all the saliva of the laureate!
DO NOT FORGET
Wolf Hare called somehow to the "carpet".
He shouted that he was a slacker, a rogue and a thief.
And got a heart attack. There is no point in screaming.
Please, friends, do not forget about the Wolf.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Already in the days of Krylov
The injustice of the world is visible:
To gain freedom of speech -
Lose a piece of cheese!
SPARROW COW AND CAT
Frost at thirty. Sparrow
Frozen, there was no urine to fly.
He landed on the ground
But suddenly warmed up, even very much.
The reason, as always, is simple:
One cow out of habit
Dropped a pancake from under the tail
And right on the poor bird.
In the heat, the prankster grew mad
And, frivolous from birth,
He chirped and sang
For the glory of a miraculous salvation.
And then the cat was heard
Walking nearby in the wild.
Not disdaining a bad smell,
Singer op swallowed without salt.
I'll repeat the moral for you:
Not every enemy is yours, who cheated on you,
But not every true friend to you,
Who drags you out of the heap boldly.
More moral on the road:
Remember - in this wild world,
When you're sitting in shit, my friend,
At least don't tweet!
LAMB LIKE A HANGUP
A lamb like a hangover
Went to the river for a drink.
And there must be trouble
It was like silence
But then the bushes stirred,
That's where the wolves came from...
One of them saw a lamb,
He squinted his eyes like a boa constrictor,
He approached the lamb with his mouth open
And he said everything, as in the good old fable
"How dare you, with your unclean snout
Here is my pure muddy drink"
The lamb seemed glad to be scared,
But here's the misfortune, you have to get drunk like that,
That instead of tearful cries for mercy
The lamb plunged into the water with its face
Then turned nose to nose to the wolf
And he quietly said: "No shit to yourself !!!
You yelled something, you stinky tattered dog"
Clouds began to gather over them.
From surprise, the wolf stumbled already ...
But the lamb began to take courage.
At the same time, my head hurt.
The lamb did not even take a bold step,
The wolf tried to show a grin
And then a lamb struck a bullock.
- "You call my face a snout!"
Well, the wolf did not expect such a thing.
Above them on one big pine
The crow watched that picture
And she opened her mouth as if in a dream.
The cheese fell out and landed on the wolf's back.
The wolf at that moment was already ready for a fight,
But getting that cheese on the back
Rushed forward, rearing lamb
And the wolf with a sweep of the nose of the lamb in the leg.
Broke his nose, bit off a piece of his lip
And I thought to myself, thank God
That I'm still living
"What is my fault?" the wolf asked lazily
"And it's your fault that I want beer"
Said the lamb spitting on the grass...
Morality:
How a husband wakes up with a hangover
Sparks in the eyes and lousy in the stomach
Don't bark like a pug at an elephant.
Only BEER can help him.
FABLE OF THE STOOL
Once a stupid sofa stuck to a stool:
“To lie on me is a delight, lafa! Not like at the banquet.
And on you, a chair without a back, is completely inconvenient.
You stand like a fool at your post. I'm better than you, better!!!"
And now the announced guests came to the hostess's house,
The sofa was stained with wine, torn with a fish bone.
I had to demolish it, give it to repair - more expensive.
This is what aplomb leads to when you boast of a mug.
And the stool - at least to hell. Serves as a handyman.
The cover was sewn to her knees, and without a sofa it is no worse.
Moral: Let them not be conspicuous and rustic in appearance,
For you in the service will be "for" and will not be offended.
ANT AND DRAGONFLY
When the end of the season came
The intoxicating Dragonfly crawled to the Ant:
- Madame, ash leaves fall from maple,
Let me in! I am exhausted and angry.
The stomach failed: lack of food,
And the cold pierces me to the core ...
And you, they say, are an ant queen -
Whether Teresa, Bosca, is a storehouse of goodness.
A cataclysm is coming: summer is ending,
Just a couple of weeks left.
I'm fired from the corps de ballet.
Please provide me with a table and a bed!
The hostess grimaced.
-What about the rent?
Over the summer, go, earned a penny!
You get fired - and I'm to blame?
Go past yourself - and dance on!
Tell me, why the hell do I have other people's problems?
Than kicking your legs - I would build a house!
- Yes, I'm, sorry, a servant of Bohemia ...
-Understood: frolic under every bush!
"Servant"! Yes, I know your habits!
You squeezed butterflies, smoked marijuana,
And it got a little hot, and then I remembered the uterus!
Painfully you are a greyhound, as I can see!
And, driven by the wind, the servant of Bohemia
Crawled, repeating: "God judge her!"
The moral of this fable, or maybe a poem:
Raising legs does not warm in winter!
BY MAGIC
Emelya somehow went for some water
(I wanted to get drunk from a hangover) ...
With a bucket deeper into the hole he put his hand
And he scooped up a big pike with water!
And she splashed her tail on the bucket
And speaks in human language:
"Release me, and I"ll make you a rich man!"
(How was she to know whose captive she was?)
Emelya did not understand a word...
He cooked an ear, ate it and ... climbed onto the stove.
Moral: To become rich and drink whiskey -
You still need to learn English!
One day the scarab, the beetle known to the world,
Rolled habitually a ball of manure.
Suddenly he hears a strange sound from above
And even the voice is somewhat nervous.
“How vile, disgusting, vile? Oh no no no.
How are you, my friend, not ashamed?!
Publicly roll such rubbish.
There is no taste, no conscience, as you can see ... "
The beetle subdued, afraid to raise his eyes,
He lies ashamed, as if flattened to the ground.
And the voice from the sky is louder and more combative
(Must not be in the mood of the Almighty):
“It would be better if I took examples from the hard work of bees,
Flowers, tea, better than a ball of dung
How would Tsokotuha find the money,
Ile would have accomplished a feat like a mosquito.
Just like you, ”the heavenly voice broadcast:
Don't care about cleanliness and hygiene.
You're worse than a bloodthirsty tick
A stinky bug killed against a wall…”
"What is he?" Take a look with one eye
The beetle decides. And that's what was in the spirit
Looked up. And there, circling over him
Dung by all signs of a fly.
COW AND BOTTLE OF ALCOHOL
God once sent a bottle of alcohol to a cow.
The cow is locked in the barn,
And I was about to drink a glass,
Yes, I thought about it - one is pretty boring!
And a herd of goats ran fatly past.
The cow is mooing and grumbling out the window,
Yes, the muzzle does not climb into the window anyway.
But somehow she invited two Kozlikov to her place ...
To that misfortune, the Goat ran close
And he sees here with slanting and sad eyes,
That her husband and brother are running, wagging their tails,
Go to the mean cow in the barn for nasty vodka!
And relatives are terribly greedy for freebies.
Creeping up to the window, I looked into the barn,
And she was stunned: there, despising decency,
Throw for three! Poured into glasses
So far, 40 (Forty) grams each.
"They're going to get drunk!"
The goat thought. Didn't wait. break in
Decided with a fight. Hit or miss!
The door swung open... and a glass fell...
... I will keep silent about what was in that barn ...
By morning, the drunken Goat was in a haystack.
He squinted the already slanting eye,
The sight of her empty bottle was ecstatic.
The cow and the goats were left with a nose.
I foresee legitimate questions:
What is the moral of such a fable?
If you want to sour,
No need to call Kozlov! And point!
Ride alone!
GIRAFFE COMPLEX
The giraffe was embarrassed by the long neck
And in order not to stand out in the crowd,
By a special trench
I could move around all day.
They took him to a psychologist.
Treated with a specific method.
And he wrote in his diary: “Give birth
Me an utter freak!”
From indignation good,
It used to be that he would be bent all over:
“There, a hippopotamus without a neck at all!
How well he lives!
I've been so embarrassed
Bad neck that I boldly
Ready to lather her for a long time,
Climb into the loop and ... finish the job!
Having exhausted the whole district for a long time,
The giraffe moaned and cursed.
He wandered darker than clouds
And beat his head against palm trees.
I noticed a strong rope.
Presented the lines in the obituary.
And at that moment I accidentally met
The horse that cried by the road.
And in the center of the palm alley
The horse whispered sadly to the giraffe:
“I envy your neck!
Well, how beautiful is she!
Why am I there! We all laughed -
Deer, lions, bison, horses,
You spit on problems from your neck,
Like from that high bell tower!
You - become yourself, beauty and strength!
You are lucky to be born like this!” -
Said bay and away dejectedly
Wandered from our lucky one.
And he seemed to be fading
From praise and throwing up the muzzle,
All gathered up, straightened up
And he walked lightly and proudly.
He left an entry in his diary.
I'll finish this comic with her:
"I was helped by someone else's envy
Overcome the stupid complex!
The Fables for Children section presents the best fables of famous fabulists (short fables in prose, fables in verse), which will be interesting for joint reading and discussion with children. Children like short fables in verse more, they are easier to perceive because of their rhythm. But with great pleasure they will listen to fables in prose. And animal characters, which are a generalization of human qualities, are easily perceived by children, since they already have experience in communicating with animals - characters in fairy tales.
The title of the first Russian fabulist rightfully belongs to Ivan Andreevich Krylov. For children, he wrote about 200 fables. Only Krylov, in a joking manner, could easily expose the shortcomings of people. The language of the fables is close to colloquial, so they are easy to remember, many expressions from Krylov's fables have become aphorisms and are widely used by writers, journalists, and have entered colloquial speech. Everyday live scenes, animal characters, laconic morality, subtle humor make Krylov's fables favorite works of adults and children. And the children really like to stage Krylov's fables.
The fables in Leo Tolstoy's prose are the author's adaptation of Aesop's popular fables. But Tolstoy's talent as a writer made small masterpieces of wisdom out of well-known plots, instructive stories that teach young readers lessons of mutual assistance and mercy, warn against arrogance, ignorance, greed, meanness, laziness.
Precisely because the poems of Sergei Mikhalkov are very loved by kids, are easy to remember, written in a simple, accessible language for children, and the images are bright and understandable for children's perception, Mikhalkov's fables also attract children. After all, each of them is a small instructive story, where Good and Evil are on the scales. Help your child with the help of amazing short fables with morals to comprehend wise life truths. Read for yourself, encourage children to read. Let many valuable discoveries help you and your children to make the best fables of famous fabulists. And their wisdom will teach children not only to see vices and virtues, but also to understand people, find the right decisions in life, and defend their point of view.
Legendary information, a collection of 400 fables and the artistic language of allegory, which was called the "Aesopian language" - this is what constitutes the legacy of the ancient Greek fabulist Aesop, who lived in the middle of the 6th century BC. It is he who is considered the creator of the fable genre. Xanthus, the owner of the obstinate slave, who composed witty moralizing stories, set him free. Aesop's name stuck with the fable genre. And the plots of his fables are often found in famous fabulists, so it is useful to introduce children to his best fables. By the way, many fabulists borrowed from Aesop the plot of his fable “The Wolf and the Lamb”: Phaedrus, Babriy, Krylov, Tolstoy. Aesop's fables can be read at any age.
In his fables, La Fontaine, in the form of animals, shows the behavior of people in various life situations, condemning the human shortcomings and vices of the society contemporary to the author. In some of the author's fables, morality is absent, the reader must himself come to the truth, hidden by the author behind deep philosophical reasoning, witty irony or subtle humor. The wise fables of Lafontaine are very relevant today: they will teach teenagers to better understand people. La Fontaine's fables for children will also be useful in that many stories are taken by the author from ancient Greek mythology, Indian legends, and French folklore.
Fables serve as confirmation of the popular expression “Wisdom is never too much”. They absorbed folk wisdom, honed and cut by the talent of the great fabulists of many centuries and generations. A fable is one of the oldest literary genres, an epic work, poetic or prose, with a brief morality. The characters of the fable are animals, things, plants, people. Often, fables have an allegorical form. In the images of animals, the authors of fables ridicule human shortcomings and vices of society. Short fables with morals make the reader think about life's values.
It is impossible to find a person who does not like to read and listen to fables in verse or prose, does not remember the ignorant Monkey or the cunning Fox from Krylov's fables, the lazy Fly and the hard worker Bee, the Elephant-painter, the narcissistic Amanita from Mikhalkov's fables. In childhood, reading Krylov's fable "The Wolf and the Lamb", we treated the defenseless Lamb with compassion and with indignation at the impunity of the impudent Wolf. Rereading funny, laid-back stories, it is worth considering what educational potential they contain.
We love to read Krylov's fables since childhood. Krylov's images are stored in memory, which often pop up in our heads in various life situations, we turn to them and each time we never cease to be surprised at Krylov's insight.
It happens that you remember the Pug who barks at the Elephant to give the impression of being brave and fearless, or suddenly the Monkey pops up in front of your eyes, which mocked itself, not recognizing the reflection in the Mirror. Laughter, and more! And how often there are meetings that are involuntarily compared with the Monkey, who, out of her own ignorance, not knowing the value of Points, broke them against a stone. Krylov's little fables are short in size, but not in meaning, because Krylov's word is sharp, and the morals of the fables have long turned into popular expressions. Krylov's fables accompany us through life, become related to us and at any time they will find understanding in us and help us re-realize values.

Krylov is a famous writer. Of all the children's poems and fables - Krylov's works are always the very best, they cut into memory and emerge during life when they meet with human vices. It is often said that, they say, Krylov did not write for children, but is the meaning of his fables not clear to children? Morality is usually clearly written, so even the smallest child can read Krylov's fables with benefit.
On our site, we place the best works of the author in the original presentation, and also highlight morality separately for convenience and better memorization of sometimes philosophical thoughts. Both a child and an adult will find a lot of meaning in these little life stories in which animals symbolize people, their vices and ridiculous behavior. Krylov's fables online are remarkable in that they contain not only text, but also a remarkable picture, easy navigation, informative facts and reasoning. After reading, the author will surely become your favorite, and his life essays in the form of humorous fables will be remembered for many years.
The fabulist led an absolutely open life, talked a lot, printed books one after another and did not shy away from his obesity and laziness. The oddities that happened to Krylov were expressed by him in instructive scenes, the simplicity of which is deceptive. He was not a fabulist, he was a thinker-philosopher, capable of comically describing the shortcomings of people in a stunning form accessible only to him with childish unobtrusiveness and ease. No need to look for satire in Krylov's fables, their value does not end there. The content and meaning is philosophical rather than humorous. In addition to human vices, the truths of being, the foundations of behavior and relationships between people are presented in an easy form. Each fable is a combination of wisdom, morality and humor.
Start reading Krylov's fables to your child from an early age. They will show him what to watch out for in life, what behavior others condemn and what they can encourage. The laws of life according to Krylov are natural and wise, he despises artificiality and self-interest. Morality, cleansed of any impurities and trends, is understandable and concise, contains a division between right and wrong. The remarkable manner of writing has led to the fact that each morality has become a folk proverb or a cheerful aphorism. The works are written in such a language that, although they look like literary forms, they actually carry the intonations and mockery inherent only in the great folk mind. Krylov's little fables changed the general view of this genre. Innovation manifested itself in realism, a philosophical note and worldly wisdom. Fables have become small novels, sometimes dramas, in which the accumulated wisdom and cunning of the mind manifested itself over the centuries. It is remarkable that with all this, the author did not turn the fable into a satirical poem, but managed to preserve a deep meaningful part, consisting of a short story and morality.
Krylov's fable penetrated the essence of things, the characters' characters and became a genre almost unattainable by other authors. Despite the satire, the fabulist loved life in all its manifestations, only he would very much like simple and natural truths to finally replace low passions. The fable genre under his pen has become so high and refined that, after re-reading the fables of other authors, you will understand that there is no other like it, and it is unlikely to be.
In the section of Krylov's fables online, we invite you to get acquainted with folk wisdom. Short philosophical works will not leave indifferent neither children nor adults.
