Толстой Л.Н.
Read this Russian short story in the original on Самовар — free, no account needed, with Leo Wiener’s English translation beside the text, and an audiobook to listen along to.
English by Leo Wiener (1904), public domain. Swipe right on the text to read it beside the Russian, or tap the EN button on the right. Published as «The Polecat». A literary translation is not a crib: the English follows the sense and the tone rather than the words, so a line here will rarely answer the Russian beside it one for one.
Хорёк зашел к меднику и стал лизать подпилок. Из языка пошла кровь, а хорек радовался, лизал, — думал, что из железа кровь идет, и погубил весь язык.
