 ARMENIAN CHILDREN STORIES
A Big Pot of Gold
I've heard this story from our elders, our elders heard it from
their grandfathers, their grandfathers in their turn from theirs - that
once upon a time there lived a poor peasant who had a small patch of
land and a pair of oxen.
Brother Axe
Once a man went to a far-off land in search of work. He came to a
village where he saw people breaking up firewood with their bare hands.
Lazy Hoory
Once upon a time there lived a woman. That woman had a daughter,
whose name was Hoory. She was an idle, indolent girl. All day long she
sat doing nothing.
Nazar the Brave
Once upon a time there lived a peasant, whose name was Nazar. He was
lazy, good-for-nothing, cowardly, so cowardly that he was afraid to take
a single step by himself.
The Liar
Once upon a time there lived a king. This king announced through his
country: "The one who tells such a lie that I say "It's a
lie" will get the half of my realm."
Travelers
One day the cock got up on the roof to see the world. He extended
his neck upward but saw nothing; the mountain opposite prevented him
from seeing what there was there.
Unlucky Panoss
Once upon a time there lived a poor man whose name was Panoss. He was a kind-hearted man but any work he began ended in failure; that was why
people called him Unlucky Panoss.
