Tales by Vladimir Suteev. Three kittens
I translated this little tale by myself. This is the first story from the storybook that I'm going to translate as a practice. Any corrections are very welcome :)
Three kittens - black, grey and white - saw a mouse... and rushed after it!
A mouse jumped into the jar of flour. The kittens followed it! A mouse run away. And from the jar crawled out three white kittens.
Three white kittens saw a frog on the courtyard... and rushed after it! A frog jumped into the old samovar pipe. The kittens followed it! A frog jumped away. And from the pipe crawled out three black kittens.
Three black kittens saw a fish in the pond... and rushed after it! A fish floated away. And from the water emerged three drenched kittens.
Three drenched kittens went home. Along the way they dried off and became as they were: black, grey and white.

Три белых котёнка увидели на дворе лягушку... и бросились за ней! Лягушка прыгнула в старую самоварную трубу. Котята - за ней! Лягушка ускакала, а из трубы вылезли три чёрных котёнка.
Три чёрных котёнка увидели в пруду рыбу и бросились за ней! Рыба уплыла... а из воды вынырнули три мокрых котёнка.
