[Russian] - СКАЗКА О ПОПЕ И РАБОТНИКЕ ЕГО БАЛДЕ: The Tale of the Priest and His Workwan Balda (in Russian)

'Сказка о попе и работник его Балде' рассказывает историю о жадном попе, который искал себе работника, но при этом не хотел дорого платить за труд. На базаре он встретил Балду, который согласился работать на попа за три щелчка в год. 

This poem by A.S. Pushkin tells of a lazy priest who is wandering around a market looking for a cheap worker. There he meets Balda who agrees to work for a year without pay except that he be allowed to hit the priest three times on his forehead and have cooked spelt for food. The priest, being a cheapskate, agrees. But then, after he gets a chance to observe Balda at work, he sees that he is not only very patient and careful, but also very strong. That worries the priest greatly and he starts giving Balda impossible missions to accomplish.
