Sister Fox and Wolf
A woman in a hut sculpts a pie and puts it on a windowsill to bake in the sun, because she and her grandfather don’t even have a stove - they live so poorly. A fox with a wolf passes by and steals a pie. The fox secretly eats the entire filling, and blames the wolf. He swears that he did not even touch the pie. Then the fox offers him a test: it is necessary to lie in the sun, and whoever has wax coming out of the heat, he ate the honey filling. The wolf falls asleep, while the fox, meanwhile, steals the honeycomb in the apiary, eats it, and wraps it around the skin of the wolf with waxes. So the cheat achieves its goal: the wolf is forced to confess to what he did not do, because he does not even remember how and when he ate the filling from the pie. The shamed wolf promises the fox to give up his share at the first prey.
The fox pretends to be dead, and peasants passing by pick it up and throw it on a cart with fish. The cunning fox dumps fish from the cart, collects prey and tells the hungry wolf how she caught so many fish. He, obeying her advice, goes to the river and sticks its tail into the hole. The fox is waiting for the wolf tail to freeze completely, flees to the village and calls the people to beat the wolf. He manages to escape by jumping into someone's sleigh, but he remains without a tail. The fox, meanwhile, runs into the hut, smeared in the dough, runs out of the village and lays on the road. When a wolf passes by, she complains to him: she was beaten so badly that even a brain came out of her bones. A gullible wolf sympathizes with her, and the fox settles in a sleigh. As soon as the wolf goes to the forest to chop wood, the fox rides out all the insides of the horse and stuffs its belly with live sparrows and straw. When the wolf notices that the horse is dead, he has to carry the fox in the sleigh himself, and she slowly says: “The beaten unbeaten luck!”
For chicken - chicken, for chicken - small
The fox finds a bast shoe and begs to stay in the house for the peasant to spend the night, and asks for his find in the chicken coop. At night, she secretly throws out her bast shoe, and in the morning, when they cannot find him, she demands a chicken in return. In other houses, she gets a goose for a chicken in the same way, a lamb for a goose, and a bull for a lamb. Refreshing its prey, she hides the meat, stuffs the skin of a bull-calf with straw, puts it on the road and asks the bear and wolf to steal the sleigh and yoke to ride. But the straw goby does not move. The fox jumps out of the sleigh, laughs at the wolf and the bear, and runs away. Those attack the bull, but there’s nothing to profit from.
Midwife
Wolf and fox live in a hut near the village. When men and women go for haymaking, the wolf steals a shred of oil from the cellar and puts it on a high shelf in the canopy to save butter for the holiday, until the fox has eaten everything. Then the fox goes to the trick: for three nights in a row she tells the wolf that she is called in midwives, and she sneaks into the canopy, puts a ladder against the wall and eats butter. Holiday is coming. The wolf and the fox are going to call guests and prepare a treat. When a missing oil is discovered, the wolf blames the fox, but the cheat denies everything and blames the wolf. The fox offers him a test: you have to lie down next to the melted furnace and wait: whoever has the oil melted from his belly, he ate it. The wolf falls asleep, and the fox covers his stomach with the remnants of oil. He wakes up, sees that he has all the belly in oil, is angry with the fox and leaves the house.
Fox, hare and cock
The fox lives in an ice hut, and the hare lives in a bast hut. In the spring, when the hut melts in the fox, she asks the rabbit to warm himself, and she herself kicks him out. He complains about it first to the dogs, then to the bear and the bull. They are trying to drive the fox out of the hare's hut, but she shouts to them from the stove: “When I jump out, when I jump out, shreds will go to the back streets!” The animals scatter in fear.Only the rooster is not afraid of the fox, he cuts it with a scythe and remains to live with the bunny.
Confessional Fox
A hungry fox comes to the man’s yard and climbs onto a sister. But when she is about to grab the chicken, a cock roars at the top of her head. With fear, the fox falls from the perch and is very broken. A rooster comes into the forest for a walk, and the fox is already waiting for him. She goes to the tree on which he sat, and seduces him with cunning speeches. The cheat rebukes the rooster that he, having fifty wives, has never been in confession. The fox promises to forgive him all his sins if he gets off the tree and repents of everything in it. A rooster descends and falls into the paws of a fox. The fox is gloating: now she is even with a rooster, which did not allow her to profit from the chicken when she was hungry! But the rooster promises her to persuade the bishop, who will soon have a feast, so that the fox entrusted the furnace to the fox, and then they will feast together. The fox, having heard, releases a rooster, and he flies away from her.
Man, bear and fox

The time comes to dig up turnips, the bear takes the tops for himself, and the man collects turnips and takes them to the city to sell. The bear meets him on the road and tries what the roots that the man took to taste are. Guessing that he deceived him, the bear threatens to bullse a man if he decides to go to the forest for firewood. The fox promises to help the peasant and comes up with a trick. A man goes to the forest and cuts himself firewood, while the fox makes a fuss. A bear runs up and asks the peasant what kind of noise it is. A man replies that hunters catch wolves and bears. The bear persuades the peasant to put him in a sled, cast firewood and bandage it with ropes: then the hunters will not notice him and pass by. A man agrees and kills the tied bear. A fox comes and wants a man to treat her for helping him get rid of the bear. He calls her to his home, and he sets dogs on her. The fox has time to hide in a hole and asks from her eyes and ears what they did when she ran away from the dogs. Eyes reply that they watched, so that she would not stumble, and ears say that they listened to how far the dogs were. The tail, however, says that he only hung under his feet, so that she got tangled and hit the dogs in the teeth. The fox is angry at the tail: she pulls it out of the hole and screams at the dogs to eat the fox tail, and they pull it by the tail from the hole and gnaw.
Animals in the pit

The same thing happens with a bear, a hare and a fox: they all fall into the pit.
In order not to starve to death, the fox offers to draw a voice: whoever does not stretch out, they will eat him. First they eat a hare, then a wolf. The cunning fox does not give the bear its entire share and hides the remaining meat. When the bear runs out of stock and he begins to starve, the insidious fox teaches him how to put his paw in the ribs. He follows her advice, tears his belly up and gets round, and the fox eats it. When the bear ends, the fox threatens the thrush, which howls a nest in a tree standing above the pit, which will eat its children if it does not feed it. The thrush feeds and feeds the fox, and then it helps her to get out of the pit, if only she would not touch his children. The fox demands that he also make her laugh.
