This is an automatically translated description

In Ivan Franko's fairy tales, people with their shortcomings are ridiculed under the images of animals: greed, ingratitude, cruelty and impoliteness, cunning and laziness. In fairy tales, animals with these character traits are always punished. The hard-working Donkey, the wise Hedgehog, and the weak Hare always defeat the strong and cunning Lion, Wolf, and Bear. The slobbering Hedgehog punished the cunning Fox for her treachery, and the kind and clever Blackbird found a way out of the threatening situation and taught the Fox a lesson.

The fairy tales ridicule evil, envy, rudeness, ill-manneredness and stupidity. The little birds, the Queens, did not allow the Bear to insult their dignity and force him to apologise; the good-natured Crane taught his cunning godmother, the Fox, the same method. People never appreciate people who live by tricks, deceit, and at someone else's expense. No matter how they disguise their cunning, the truth will always come out, and then the swindler will be in trouble.
