Kolobok
Kolobok (from Russian: колобок — circle side) is the character of an East Slavs national fairy tale with the same name, represented as a small yellow spherical being. It is casually created by the Old Man and his wife, as a bread dish, which suddenly becomes animated and escapes from home. The fairy tale plot describes Kolobok's repetitive meetings with various animals (rabbit, wolf and bear) who intend to eat it, but the Kolobok cunningly escapes. With each animal Kolobok begins a discussion, in which he explains his escape inductively: "I have escaped the Grandmother, I have escaped the Grandfather, and I will certainly escape you". The fox manages to catch it and eat it, on account of its (the Kolobok's) vanity.
