"Two Greedy Bear Cubs" (1955)

Illustrations by J. Rachev for Hungarian Folk Tale "Two Greedy Bear Cubs". 
The fox "helps" two greedy bear cubs to "evenly divide" a ball of cheese, eating almost all of it in the process.

Illustratsioonid ungari muinasjutule "Kaks ahnet karupoega" - kunstnik J. Ratšev.
Rebane ütleb karupoegadele, et on nõus nende vahel juustukera pooleks jagama. Lõpuks sööb peaaegu kõik ise ära, karupoegadele jäävad ainult tillukesed tükid.

Иллюстрации к венгерской народной сказке "Два жадных медвежонка". / Художник Е Рачев.
1. "О чем вы спорите, молодые люди? — спросила лиса. Медвежата рассказали лисице о своей беде.
— Какая же это беда? — сказала лисица.— Давайте я вам поделю сыр поровну: мне что младший, что старший — все одно."

2. "Пока лисица не наелась досыта, она все делила и делила. Но вот куски сравнялись, а медвежатам почти и сыра не осталось: два крохотные кусочка."
