Summary

Parker Hoysted Fillmore The Shoemaker's Apron — Budulinek (1920)

So the organ-grinder went off and everywhere he played his organ he looked for Budulinek. But he couldn’t find him.
At last one day while he was walking through the forest he thought he heard a little boy crying. He looked around everywhere until he found a fox’s hole.
“Oho!” he said to himself. “I believe that wicked old Lishka must have stolen Budulinek! She’s probably keeping him here with her own three children! I’ll soon find out.”
So he put down his organ and began to play. And as he played he sang softly:
“One old fox
And two, three, four,
And Budulinek
He makes one more!”

Granny went out to work every day. In the morning when she went away she always said:
“There, Budulinek, there’s your dinner on the table and mind, you mustn’t open the door no matter who knocks!”
One morning Granny said:
“Now, Budulinek, today I’m leaving you some soup for your dinner. Eat it when dinner time comes. And remember what I always say: don’t open the door no matter who knocks.”
She went away and pretty soon Lishka, the sly old mother fox, came and knocked on the door.
“Budulinek!” she called. “You know me! Open the door! Please!”
