Our daughter.
At an age, no babysitters.
No walking or horseback.
There's no trace of her. Bears.
Oatmeal and wolf mater
They walk around the courtyard; the owl
On a hundred-year-old night pine top,
During the day, the deaf man stretches his neck.
A passer-by, a passer-by.
Ostrovsky A.N., Snow Maiden, 1873
Having come to his senses, the teacher saw the tied bear, the beast began to snort, sniffing at his guest from afar, and suddenly, rising on his hind legs, went to him.

- There were forests along the way, yes, that was it! There were boars, bears, lynxes, and terrible bulls, with their heads lowered to the ground, and leopards looked at me twice with eyes like yours. But every beast has a heart, I spoke to them like you, they believed that I was the Mother, and went away sighing, they felt sorry for me! Don't you know that animals love children, too, and know how to fight for their life and freedom as well as humans?
Gorky Maxim, Tales of Italy, 1913
- He, Father! Who, besides him, is a barbarian? I, father, Mikhailo Polikarpych, is to blame, she turned to the colonel, painfully took me on him: ran to Petrushino to the huntsman Yakov Safonich. “Should you not sit, I say, Father, on the labaza [Labaz — here to go in the forest, shelves or a platform in trees, from where bears are beaten]; will you not shoot our villain?” Promised to come.
Pisemsky A. F., People of the Forties, 1869
Above the poles hung the same gun with which the old father had courted the bear.

Teacher Skobochkin dressed up as a bear, that is, she simply threw a bear skin on her shoulders, and put the bear’s head on her own, like a helmet, in excess of an ordinary half-mask.
Sologub F.K., Small Demon, 1902
- What are you, what are you, Zarzushka? said Kirsha, patting him affectionately with his hand. - What happened to you? Did you smell the red beast? What ashes! Why are you so close to me? Really -- no! I also walked through this game and broke through... But I also think, isn’t it a bear? No, damn it! Shut up, Zarez!
Zagoskin M.N., Yuri Miloslavsky, or Russians in 1612, 1829
There he again chops and fuses the forest or cuts it up and down with two rangers, or else he goes around the three bought at the fair of new horses or climbs into the slum of the forest in winter and waits for the bear, beats the wolves.
Goncharov I. A., The Cliff, 1869
A leisurely conversation ensued, and soon Klim learned that the man in the yellow shirt was a dancer and singer from the choir of Snitkin, beloved on the Volga, and the neighbor of the dancer was a bear hunter, a forest watchman from specific forests, blackbearded, stocky, with round owl eyes.

That letter: “Tatarina
Oboltu Obolduev
It's a good bitch,
For two rubles:
Wolves and foxes
He comforted the lady,
On the day of the royal name-day
Bringing down a wild bear
With mine and Obolduyeva.
That bear ripped off.
Well, do you understand?
- Don't get it!
Nekrasov N. A., Who in Russia to live well, 1877
Like an annoying separation,
Tatiana murmurs on the stream;
Can't see anyone with a hand.
From the other side, I'd give it to her.
But suddenly the snowstorm moved,
And who came from under him?
A big, ruffled bear;
Tatiana, he's crying,
And a paw with sharp claws.
She stretched it out; she held it together.
A trembling hand.
And fearful steps.
Crossed the stream;
Come on, bear after her!
Pushkin A.S., Eugene Onegin, 1832
