Seven brave men

once met seven brave brave men. The first was Schultz, the second was Yakli, the third was Marley, the fourth was Yergli, the fifth was Michel, the sixth was Hans, and the seventh was Veitli.

Together they decided to go around the whole world, look for adventures and show their courage. And in order to make it safer for them to travel, they ordered a spear from a blacksmith. One spear for all, but long and strong.

All seven of them seized on this spear. The bravest and strongest went ahead - Schultz. And after him - Yakli, and after Yakli - Marly, and behind Marley - Yergli, and after Yergli - Mikhel, and after Mikhel - Hans, and Veitli was the last.

They walked for a day, they walked for two. On the third day in the evening, when it was already dark, we reached a large meadow. And there was hay in the meadow.

A bumblebee flew past the seven brave men here. He flew by and buzzed: “Wh-w-w!” The brave Schultz was very frightened, he almost dropped his spear.

Oh! he says to his comrades. - Do you hear, do you hear? They beat the drum!

Yakli says:

Ahah! It smells like gunpowder. Now they will shoot from the cannon.

Then Schultz was completely frightened, threw a spear and ran. He ran and accidentally stepped on the teeth of the rake, which lay on the grass. The rake jumped up and hit him on the forehead.

Ay-ay, shouted the brave Schultz. - Surrender, take me prisoner!

And Yakli, Marley, Yergli, Mikhel, Hans and Veitli threw their spears and shouted:

If you give up, then we give up! Take us all prisoner!

They shouted, shouted, and then they see - there is no one to take them prisoner: they are alone in the meadow.

Here's the thing, Schultz says. - There is no need to talk about this case. And then they will laugh at us.

So they decided: to remain silent until one of them accidentally spills the beans.

A few days later, a new misfortune befell them, worse than the first.

They walked through the arable land, and there sat a hare, basking in the sun and dozing.

His ears stuck up, and his eyes were large and glassy.

Our brave men were frightened, they began to think, what should they do: run or attack this monster?

Brothers, - says the brave Schultz, - we have a dangerous battle ahead. The braver we are, the sooner we will win. I think so.

And so do I,” Yakley said.

Me too, Marley said.

And I, - said Yergli.

Me too, Michel said.

Me too, said Hans.

And I, - said Waitley, who was walking behind everyone. Together they took hold of the spear and ran to the hare. We ran a little and stopped.

And Waitley, who was running behind everyone, shouted:

Brave Schultz, bolder into battle!

Don't be afraid, we are with you!

And Schultz shouted:

Waitley yells the loudest!

Waitley let him go ahead!

They started arguing about who should go first. And the hare is still sitting in the same place.

Finally, Schultz plucked up courage and ran again, and the rest of the brave men followed him.

Atu him, atu-tu-tu! Shultz shouted.

Atu him, atu-tu-tu! shouted Yakli.

Atu him, atu-tu-tu! Marley screamed.

Atu him, atu-tu-tu! Yergli shouted.

Atu him, atu-tu-tu! Michel screamed.

Atu him, atu-tu-tu! shouted Hans.

Atu him, atu-tu-tu! shouted the loudest of all, Waitley, who was running behind them all.

But then the hare woke up and galloped off.

Here, - says the brave Schultz, - it means that we again failed. It was a hare.

We came to a big river, - no boat is visible, there is no bridge. How to get to the other side? And on the other side sat a fisherman with a fishing rod. Here Schultz shouts to him:

How can we get to the other side?

Look for the ford! - answers the fisherman.

And it seemed to Schultz that the fisherman said: "Get in the water." He climbed into the water. I went a few steps, but I can't go any further. The river is deep, and the feet are stuck in mud. His hat has fallen off his head and is floating on the water, and a frog has sat on his hat. Sat down and croaked:

Qua-qua!

Yakli says:

It's Schultz calling us. Let's follow him.

They all entered the water and also got stuck in the mud. They stand and shout:

Help - we're drowning! Help - we're drowning!

They shouted until a fisherman from the other side of the boat came after them and pulled them out of the river.

The brave men got warm, dried themselves off and went home.

I won't travel anymore," Schultz said.

Of course, it's better to stay at home, - said Yakli.

It's warm at home, Marley said.

It's dry at home, - Yergli said.

No one will touch you at home,” Michel said.

You can sleep on a feather bed at home, Hans said.

I am not afraid of anyone at home,” said Waitley, who was now leading the way.

That's how brave!
