“Moose”
At night, a moose from the forest came into a village. It walked around, crossed into a lane covered with nettle. It then walked into Anna Petrovna's house. It drank some water from a barrel, chewed on the clothes ¬¬hanging from a line, and licked a shovel on the porch. Then, it stuck its head in the open window and started eating oatmeal from a pan. After eating the oatmeal, it started eating some bread.
The moose accidentally grabbed a teapot with its antlers, causing it to fall and roll, which scared the moose. The moose tried to run away, but its antlers were stuck, not letting it do so.
At dawn, Anna Petrovna woke up and walked into the kitchen. She saw the moose stuck in the window.
At first, she grabbed a rolling pin, but she changed her mind, feeling sorry for the moose. She ran to wake up Mitrich.
“Mitrich,” she called, “Come here! A moose is stuck in the window!”
Mitrich, having just woke up, did not understand right away.
“What,” he said, “What moose?”
“One with antlers! His head is stuck in the kitchen, but he can’t move!” replied Anna Petrovna.
Mitrich came to Anna Petrovna and saw that there was actually a moose in the window!
“Wow, how are we going to get him out of here?” he asked.
“I don't know how, but can you please get him out, Mitrich? Do you expect me to live with this moose forever?” said Anna Petrovna.
Mitrich walked around the moose, not knowing from which side he should come up to him from.
“Maybe, he should stay?” said Mitrich, “Look at his antlers! You could put your clothes on them to dry!”
“Don't be stupid!” Anna Petrovna exclaimed, “Get the moose out of here!”
“Fine,” Mitrich agreed, “I'll try”
Mitrich brought a saw and carefully started sawing the window bar. The moose was almost completely still: the only movement he made was the flick of his ear. He did not like how the saw buzzed. Finally, Mitrich finished sawing the window bar and pushed the moose through.
The moose stood in the middle of the yard with the curtains on his antlers.
“Mitrich, can you take the curtains off of him? What will I cover the window with?” said Anna Petrovna.
Mitrich came closer to the moose. “Kitty, kitty, kitty,” he lured the moose, but the moose backed up. He walked through the gate, turned around, and ran off into the forest.
“Wait!” Anna Petrovna called, “I need the curtains!”
She wanted to run after the moose, but he was gone.
“The curtains aren't a problem,” said Mitrich while putting the window bar back, “That wasn't a big loss. He could have eaten all of our food!”
Many people have seen that moose in the forest. He kept walking with the curtains until he dropped his antlers.
