    By the way, the Aesop story was adapted into Russian by Иван Крылов (1769-1844), probably Russia's most celebrated author of басни (fables) -- he composed many original fables as well as borrowing some from Aesop. However, Krylov's version of "Лисица и виноград" is in rhyming verse and a bit difficult for a foreign student of Russian.

    I like your translation better than mine, Marat ))
    Вот потому, что вы говорите то, что не думаете, и думаете то, что не думаете, вот в клетках и сидите. И вообще, весь этот горький катаклизм, который я здесь наблюдаю, и Владимир Николаевич тоже…
