The wooden house.

There stood a small wooden house (teremok) in the open field. A mouse ran by:

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

Nobody answered. The mouse went into the house and began to live there. A frog hopped by:

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a mouse. And who are you?

- I am a frog. Let's live together.

So the mouse and the frog began living together. A hare ran by. He saw the house and asked:

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a mouse.

- I am a frog. And who are you?

- And I am a hare.

The hare jumped into the house and all of them began living together. Then there came a fox. She knocked on the window:

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a mouse.

- I am a frog.

- And I am a hare. And who are you?

- And I am a fox.

The fox climbed into the house too. A wolf ran by:

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a mouse.

- I am a frog.

- And I am a hare.

- And I am a fox. And who are you?

- I am a wolf.

The wolf climbed into the house too, and they all started living together. A bear walked by. He saw the house and roared:

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a mouse. - I am a frog. - And I am a hare. - And I am a fox. - And I am a wolf. Who are you?

- And I am a bear!!! The bear started climbing onto the roof and - crushed the whole house! All of the scared animals ran away in different directions!

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a mouse. And who are you?

- I am a mouse.

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a frog. Let's live together.

- I am a frog. And who are you?

- I am a frog.

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a hare.

- I am a hare. And who are you?

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a fox.

- I am a fox. And who are you?

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?

- I am a wolf.

- I am a wolf. And who are you?

- Little house, little house! Who lives in the little house?
