The traditional story that I remember the most is a Slavic tale about Kolobok. This story is usually told to little children. The first time I heard it was from my mother. The story begins with a conversation between a grandma and grandpa. Grandpa tells his wife to bake him a bun. His wife agrees, and when she kneads the dough, she makes a big bun and puts it on the windowsill. Then the bun suddenly comes alive and starts singing a song: 'I escaped from my grandma, I escaped from my grandpa, and I will escape from you.' It rolls off the windowsill and goes into the forest. It meets different animals and indeed escapes from them, but then it meets a fox. The fox tells it to sit on its tail, and she eats it. This is how Kolobok dies. The story teaches children not to trust everyone because the fox just tricked him, and he believed her when she said she wouldn't harm him.
