The Drunk Cowboy
Several translations exist in Russian, the best known one being by Alexander Tkachev, called "The drunk cowboy". It consist of five parts, at the end of each the wife tells the cowboy to go to sleep. The days include a horse (cow, saddled) a hat (chamberpot, from straw), pants (rags, with a zipper), a stranger's head (cabbage with a moustache), and, finally, a baby which doesn't look like the cowboy's (a log, but one which pees).
