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."
