"How, dear Cockerel, you sing loudly, it's important!" -
"And you, Kukusha, my light,
As you pull smoothly and slowly:
We do not have such a singer in the whole forest! "-
"You, my kumanik, the century I listen to, I'm ready." -
"And you, beautiful, I'm afraid,
Just shut up, then I wait, I can not wait,
So that you start again ...
Otkol this takes a voice?
And clean, and gentle, and high! ..
Yes you are so born, you are not small,
And the song, what is your nightingale! "-"Thank you, coma; but, according to my conscience,
You sing better than a bird of paradise,
At all I refer to this I ".

Although you hoarse, praising each other, -
All your music is bad! .. "

A fable was published in 1834. * In the almanac "One Hundred Russian Writers" (T. 2. St. Petersburg, 1841), where the fable Kukushka and Rooster was first published, it was accompanied by a caricature of Desarno, in which the figures of F.V. Bulgarin and N. I. Grech, depicted with the heads of the Cock and the Cuckoo.
The mutual glorification of these writers was written by Pushkin in the pamphlet "The Triumph of Friendship, or Justified Alexander Anfimovitch Orlov" (1831).
