A little fairy tale will help the toddler,
Acquaint him with the parents’ problems —
Kotygoroshko, Little Red Riding Hood,
Kolobok and the magic wand
Will triumph over the dark forces.

Humanity has taken a swing at the cosmos,
Not abandoning the cradle-Earth,
For Chronos still holds it back even now,
Instructing in legends and myths.

To the Incas, the Japanese, and the Greeks,
As to children, worlds opened.
To the Truth it is still far.
To it, grow and grow.
