Сказка Владимира Ивановича Даля (1801—1872). «Вышел старик годовик. Стал он махать рукавом и пускать птиц. Каждая птица со своим особым именем. Махнул старик годовик первый раз — и полетели первые три птицы. Повеял холод, мороз».
Vladimir Ivanovich Dal (Russian: Владимир Иванович Даль) was one of the greatest Russian language lexicographers. He was a founding member of the Russian Geographical Society. He knew at least six languages including Turkic and is considered to be one of the early Turkologists. During his lifetime he compiled and documented the oral history of the region that was later published in Russian and became part of modern folklore.
