Tales by Vladimir Suteev. Offsuited cartwheels I translated this little tale by myself. This is the sixth story from the storybook that I'm going to translate as a practice. Any corrections are very welcome :) There is a stump, on a stump the little house stands. Fly, Frog, Hedgehog and Cock the Golden Crest live in this little house. Once they went to the woods - for flowers, mushrooms, firewoods and berries. They had been walking and came to a cleaning. They looked and saw the empty cart standing there. The cart was empty, but it wasn't ordinary - its wheels was offsuited. The first was very small wheel, the second one was a bit bigger, the third one was mid sized and the fourth was the biggest one. Apparently the carts stands here a long time - mushrooms grow under it. Fly, Frog, Hedgehog and Cock stand still, look and marvel. In that moment Heir leapes from the bushes on the road and looks too with laughing. - Is it your cart? - they asked Heir. - No, it's Bear's cart. He was making it, but didn't finish and gave up. So it stands here still. - Let's take a cart home, - Hedgehog said. - It may be useful. - Let's do it, - others said. They started to push a cart, but it didn't move, its wheels are offsuited. They had been pushing it, but with no results. A cart was turning on the right and falling on the left. And the road was bad too - here is a hole, there is a bump. Heir was laughing uproariously like a mad: - Who needs such an unworkable cart! All of them was tired, but it was a shame to drop it - it may be useful! Again Hedgehog had an idea: - Let's each of us will take on wheel. - Let's do it! They took off the wheels from the cart and rolled them home. Fly took the smallest wheel, Hedgehog took a bigger one, Frog took midsized one... And Cock jumped on the biggest wheel, stomps his heet, flapped his wings and whooped: - Cock-a-doodle-doo! Heir laughed: - What nuts they are! Roll home offsuited wheels! Meantime Fly, Hedgehog, Frog and Cock rolled the wheels home and started thinking: what will they do with them? - I know! - said Fly, took the smallest wheel and made the spinning wheel. Hedgehog tumbled to an idea: he attached two sticks to his wheel and made wheelbarrow. - I thought up too, - said Frog and attached her midsized wheel to the well to make it easier to collect water. And Cock put his biggest wheel in the water, attached millstones and built the watermill. All wheels found use on their farm:
