I am searching for a russian children's rhyme about an elephant who orders
chocolate for his son on the telephone. Does anyone have this in Russian
and English??

Thanks!

That's only the beginning, I believe. There's much more there. And it's
called TELEFON, not SLON, because lots of other animals called about
their problems, too.

About 20 years ago, I would have recited it to you by heart, but now I
remember only a few lines after that. Could it be the onset of senility?

Pomnite?

I have full text of this verse. It will take some time to locate it and to
type it in. So for any inquiries, please e-mail me at PIr...@AOL.COM (not the above
address, I do not get mail here).

Kstati, liudi, s detstva menia muchaet sleduyushchaja strochka - ne vizhu
v nej nikakogo smysla:

Oh, nelegkaja eta rabota -
iz bolota tashchit' begemota
i gvozdiami k nebesam prikolachivat'! ( ?????? )

Zachem ego gvozdiami k nebesam prikolachivali???

Sorry, I do not have KOI-8 installed on my PC, so this is to the BEST of
my ability and is the way it's printed in the book I found at home. I use
a single quote for 'myagkiy' i 'tverdiy' znak.

K.I. Chukovsky

TELEFON

- 1 -

U menya zazvonil telefon.
- Kto govorit?
- Slon.
- Otkuda?
- Ot verblyuda.
- Chto vam nado?
- Shokolada.
- Dlya kogo?
- Dlya syna moego.
- A mnogo li prislat'?
- Da pudov etak 5
Ili 6:
Bol'she emu ne s'est,
On u menya esche malenkiy!

- 2 -

A potom pozvonil
Krokodil
I so slezami prosil:
- Moy miliy, horoshiy,
Prishli mne kaloshi,
I mne, i zhene, i Totoshe.

- Postoy, ne tebe li
Na proshloy nedele
Ya vyslal dve pary
Otlichnih kalosh?

- Ah, te, chto ty vyslal
Na proshloy nedele,
My davno uzhe s'eli
I zhdem ne dozhdemsya,
Kogda zhe ty snova prishlesh'
K nashemu uzhinu
Dyuzhinu
Novyh i sladkih kalosh!

- 3 -

A potom pozvonili zaychatki:
- Nel'zya li prislat' perchatki?

A potom pozvonili martyshki:
- Prishlite, pozhaluysta, knizhki!

- 4 -

A potom pozhvonil medved'
Da kak nachal, kak nachal revet'.

- Pogodite, medved', ne revite,
Ob'yasnite, chego vy hotite?

No on tol'ko "mu" da "mu",
A k chemu, pochemu -
Ne poymu!
- Poves'te, pozhaluysta, trubku!

- 5 -

A potom pozvonili tsapli:
- Prishlite, pozhaluysta, kapli:
My lyagushkami nynche ob'elis',
I u nas zhivoty razbolelis'!

- 6 -

A potom pozvonila svin'ya:
- Prishlite ko mne solov'ya.
My segodnya vdvoem
S solov'em
Chudesnuyu pesnyu
Spoyem.

- Net, net! Solovey
Ne poyet dlya sviney!
Pozovi-ka ty luchshe voronu!

- 7 -

I snova medved:
- O, spasite morzha!
Vchera proglotil on morskogo ezha!

- 8 -

I takaya drebeden'
Tseliy den':
Din'-di-len',
Din'-di-len',
Din'-di-len'!
To tyulen' pozhvonit, to olen'.

A nedavno dve gazeli
Pozvonili i zapeli:
- Neuzheli
V samom dele
Vse sgoreli
Karuseli?

- Ah, v ume li vy, gazeli?
Ne sgoreli karuseli,
I kacheli utseleli!
Vy b, gazeli, ne galdeli,
A na buduschey nedele
Priskakali by i seli
Na kacheli-karuseli!

No ne slushali gazeli
I po-prezhnemu galdeli:
- Neuzheli
V samom dele
Vse kacheli
Pogoreli?
Chto za glupie gazeli?

- 9 -

A vchera poutru
Kenguru:
- Ne eto li kvartira
Moydodyra? -
Ya rasserdilsya da kak zaoru:
- Net, eto chuzhaya kvartira!!!
- A gde Moydodyr?
- Ne mogu vam skazat'...
Pozvonite po nomeru sto dvadtsat' pyat'.

- 10 -

Ya tri nochi ne spal,
Ya ustal.
Mne by zasnut', otdohnut'...
No tol'ko ya lyog -
Zvonok!
- Kto govorit?
- Nosorog.
- Chto takoe?
- Beda! Beda!
Begite skoree syuda!
- V chem delo?
- Spasite!
- Kogo?
- Begemota!
Nash begemot provalilsya v boloto...
- Provalilsya v boloto?
- Da!
I ni tuda, ni syuda!
O, esli vy ne pridete -
On utonet, utonet v bolote,
Umret, propadet
Begemot!!!
- Ladno! Begu! Begu!
Esli mogu, pomogu!

- 11 -

Oh, nelegkaya eto rabota -
Iz bolota taschit' begemota!
