This fairy tale, guys, looks like a fable, but nevertheless it is true, - my grandfather, from whom I heard it, used to say every time he told it with feeling and plainly:

“The truth is in it, son, there is; why would they tell her?”

And this is how it was.

It happened one Sunday morning, at harvest time, just when the buckwheat is in bloom. The sun rose brightly in the sky, the morning wind blew over the cut stubble, the larks sang over the fields, the bees buzzed on buckwheat; people went to church in festive clothes, and every creature of the earth rejoiced, including the hedgehog too.

And the hedgehog stood at his door with folded arms, breathed the morning air and hummed a cheerful song to himself - neither good nor bad, which hedgehogs usually sing on a warm Sunday morning. And when he was quietly humming this song to himself, it occurred to him that while his wife was bathing and dressing the children, he might take a short walk across the field and see how the rutabagas were growing. And the swede grew very close to his house, and he always ate it with his family, which is why he looked at it as if it were his own. No sooner said than done. He locked the door behind him and headed out into the field. Having moved not far from the house, he wanted to make his way through the blackthorn that grew near the field, almost at the place where the rutabaga also grew, and suddenly he noticed a hare that had gone out for the same thing - to look at his cabbage. I saw a hedgehog hare and wished him good morning. And the hare was a gentleman, as it were, noble and very haughty. He did not answer the hedgehog's hello and said to him, making a contemptuous grimace:

Why are you running around the field so early?

I'm walking, - says the hedgehog.

Are you walking? the hare laughed. “I think you could use your legs for something more useful.”

This answer greatly annoyed the hedgehog: he could endure everything, but he did not allow anything to be said about his legs - they were very crooked.

You seem to imagine, - said the hedgehog to the hare, - that you can manage your legs better?

I think, - answered the hare.

It still needs to be checked, - said the hedgehog. - I'm willing to bet that if you and I run to run, I'll run first.

Yes, this is downright funny - you, with your crooked legs? - said the hare. - Well, well, if you have such a big desire, I, perhaps, agree. What are we going to argue about?

For one golden louis and a bottle of vodka, says the hedgehog.

Goes! - answered the hare. - Well, then, let's start now.

No, why should we be in such a hurry, I don’t agree, says the hedgehog, because I haven’t eaten or drunk anything yet. First I will go home and have a little breakfast, and in half an hour I will return to the same place.

The hare agreed, and the hedgehog headed home. On the way, the hedgehog thought to himself: “The hare hopes for his long legs, but I will outsmart him. Although he is a noble gentleman, and stupid, he will surely lose.

The hedgehog came home and said to his wife:

Wife, get dressed, you will have to go with me to the field.

What happened? she asks.

Yes, we argued with the hare for one golden louis and a bottle of vodka: I want to run with him in a run, and you should be at the same time.

Oh my God! his wife started yelling at him. - Yes, you're really crazy. Are you out of your mind? How can you run with a rabbit?

Yes, you, wife, better shut up, - the hedgehog tells her, - this is my business. Don't meddle in men's affairs. Get dressed and come with me.

What was she to do here? Whether you like it or not, she had to follow her husband.

They go together along the road to the field, and the hedgehog says to his wife:

Now listen carefully to what I have to say. You see, over that large field we will run with a hare in a run. The hare will run along one furrow, and I along the other, and we will start running from the mountain. And your business is only to stand here, below, on the furrow. When the hare runs along his furrow, you will shout towards him: “I’m already here!”

With that, they got to the field. The hedgehog pointed out to his wife the place where she should stand, and he himself went higher. When he arrived, the hare was already there.

Let's get started, shall we? - says the hare.

Okay, - the hedgehog answers, - let's start.

And each one stood on his own furrow. The hare began to count: “Well, one, two, three,” and rushed like a whirlwind down the field. And the hedgehog ran about three paces, then climbed into the furrow and sat there quietly.

The hare ran to the end of the field, and the hedgehog shouted towards him:

And I'm already here!

The hare stopped and was quite surprised: he thought that it was, of course, the hedgehog himself screaming - and it is known that the hedgehog looks exactly the same as the hedgehog. But the hare thought: "Something is wrong here" and shouted:

Let's run back again!

And he rushed in a whirlwind, pressing his ears, along the furrow, and the hedgehog remained calmly in its place. The hare ran to the end of the field, and the hedgehog shouted towards him:

And I'm already here!

The hare got angry and shouted:

Let's run back again!

As you wish, - answered the hedgehog, - I don’t care how much you want.

So the hare ran another seventy-three times, and the hedgehog always came first. Whenever the hare ran to the edge of the field, the hedgehog or hedgehog said:

And I'm already here!

But on the seventy-fourth time, the hare did not run to the end: he fell on his front legs, his throat bled, and he could not move on.

The hedgehog took the golden louis he had won and a bottle of vodka, called his wife out of the furrow, and they went home together, both quite pleased with each other. If they are not dead, then they are still alive.

That's how it turned out that a simple field hedgehog overtook a hare, and since then not a single hare dared to run with a hedgehog any more.

And the tales of this teaching are as follows: firstly, no one, no matter how noble he may consider himself, should not allow himself to mock a simple person - even a hedgehog. Secondly, the following advice is given: if someone decides to marry, then let him take a wife from the same circle as himself, and let her be like him. Here, let's say, if you are a hedgehog, then take a hedgehog as your wife, and so on.
