Summary
The plot of the tale is cumulative. So, there lived an old man and an old woman. The old man asked to bake a kolobok (that is, a spherical pastry made from dough). The old woman “scraped the bottom of the barrel,” that is, she collected the last crumbs of flour and still baked it. I put the bun on the window to cool, but it fell and rolled away. While he was rolling along the road, he came across a hare, a wolf, and a bear. Everyone threatened to eat him, but he was cunning and sang “I left my grandfather, I left my grandmother, and it’s not cunning to leave you.” Three times he successfully rolled away from a potential enemy, but then he met a fox - she outsmarted him and still ate him.
