A Swan, a Pike and a Crayfish br by Ivan Andreevich Krylov br br When there's no a consent in partner's will - br Then there'll be no a success in business, br And, thus, only the torture it will be. br Once a Swan, a Pike and a Crayfish br Were going to carry a heavy cart, br And harnessed all the three together; br To go out of their skins they tried, br But moving of the cart had failed! br Though the weight was rather light for them: br But the Swan pulled it right to heaven, br The Crayfish all the time moved back, br The Pike was carrying it to water. br br Who was responsible at last for this mischap? br The cart is staying still without motion... br br ==== br In russian and bulgarian translation br by Krasimir Georgiev: br http: www.stihi.
