The humorous poem by S. Rudansky "Cossacks at the King's" recreates an episode when the Polish king's court decided to play a joke on the Cossacks. They treated them to sour cream and expected the Cossacks to smear their moustaches with it, and then they would laugh at them. But it didn't work out that way. The clever Cossacks asked for honey, used it to curl their moustaches upwards and calmly ate the sour cream, laughing themselves at the "bad Lyakhs" who were often hostile to Ukrainians at that time.
