When the boy asked his opinion, the donkey said, “Now that I’m old and can no longer work, my master has driven me out for the leopards to get me!” “See?” said the crocodile. “That is the way of the world.” The boy refused to believe that, so the crocodile agreed not to swallow him without getting an opinion from the first three witnesses to pass by. “Of course,” said the crocodile out of the corner of his mouth. “Is this how you repay my goodness-with badness?” cried the boy. So the boy went up to the crocodile-and instantly was seized by the teeth in that long mouth.

At this time Rimsky-Korsakov’s stand on the Ukraine is clear composing both May Night and Christmas Eve at that time based on Gogol’s pointed Dikanka stories.
