Description: The Red Army man Ivanov
Behind the Overcoat
The button alone held tight,
Ivan did not sew.
Button
Smallness
Ranged
And it broke off.
Spat out Ivanov:
"Who needs it,
I have a dozen buttons without it. "
Ivanov is walking, do not worry at all.
Only the hack behind the tail inflated.
Once a battle order came into the barracks,
And Ivanov slovenly
He went to beat the lords and the lakhs
For shrapnel, raising his howl.
It came to bayonet attack,
Ivanov is a brave man,
The rifle is at the ready,
First climbed over their barrier.
It seems nobody on the way
From such a strong man does not go away!
Yes, look at this misfortune.
For a bough hooked
Loop,
Ivanov hung on the bough.
Neither backward nor forward - neither up nor down.
Cope with such a lot, is it worth it?
Banned his bayonet
Under the rib sixth.

In this fable
For the Red Army man
There is such a morality:
So that we are not defeated by enemies,
Look after the button,
Look after the rifle,
Look after the horse,
At all
Save your wealth.
