Сокращенная сказка курочка ряба на английском языке

"Ryaba the Hen" is a popular Russian folk tale that has been adapted into many versions. Here's a shortened version of the story in English:

Once upon a time, there was an old man and an old woman who lived in a small house. One day, their hen, Ryaba, laid a golden egg. The old man and the old woman were very surprised and excited, but then the egg fell and broke into pieces. They were upset, but Ryaba the hen was not sad. She continued to live in the same way as before, and the old man and woman realized that it was not the egg that mattered, but their life together.

This story teaches that material things can come and go, but the most important thing is love and harmony in life.
