Bain’s translation of The Cat, the Cock, and the Fox can be approached through two editions on the Ukraine page. The 1894 entry leads to the collection’s catalogue record and the 1916 entry opens the tale itself. The repeated call for help shows how a short verse can change meaning as events unfold.
