Once upon a time there was a woman and her daughter who lived in a lovely garden full of cabbages. In winter a little hare came there and ate up all the cabbages. So the woman said to her daughter, "Go into the garden and chase the little hare away!" The girl said to the little hare, "Shoo! Shoo! Little hare, you'll eat up all our cabbages!" The little hare said, "Come, girl, sit on my little hare's tail and come along to my little hare's hut!" But the girl would not. The next day the little hare came again and ate the cabbages, and the woman said to her daughter, "Go into the garden and chase the little hare away!" The girl said to the little hare, "Shoo! Shoo! Little hare, you'll eat up all our cabbages!" The little hare said, "Come, girl, sit on my little hare's tail and come with me to my little hare's hut." But the girl would not. On the third day the little hare came again and ate the cabbages. So the woman said to her daughter, "Go into the garden and chase the little hare away!" The girl said, "Shoo! Shoo! Little hare, you'll eat up all our cabbages!" The little hare said, "Come, girl, sit on my little hare's tail and come with me to my little hare's hut!" The girl sat on the hare's tail, and the little hare carried her far away to his hut and said, "Now cook some kale and millet while I go and invite the wedding guests." Then all the wedding guests gathered. And who were the wedding guests? I can tell you, just as someone else told me: they were all hares, and the crow was there as the parson to marry the bride and groom, and the fox was the sexton, and the altar stood beneath the rainbow.

But the girl was sad, for she was all alone. The little hare came and said, "Open up, open up, the wedding guests are merry!" The bride said nothing and wept. The little hare went away, then came back and said, "Open up, open up, the wedding guests are hungry." Again the bride said nothing and wept. The little hare went away, then came back and said, "Open up, open up, the wedding guests are waiting." The bride said nothing, and the little hare went away. But she made a straw doll, dressed it in her clothes, put a stirring spoon in its hand, and set it beside the kettle of millet. Then she went home to her mother. The little hare came once more and said, "Open up, open up," then opened the door and threw something at the doll's head, so that its bonnet fell off.

Then the little hare saw that it was not his bride, and went away sorrowful.
