Kolobok — Russian fairy tale character
Kolobok is the main character of an East Slavic national fairy tale with the same name, represented as a small yellow spherical being.
The Kolobok, an old Russian round palt (based on the Swedish food item of the same name), suddenly comes to life and escapes from the home of granny and grandpa. The fairy tale's plot describes Kolobok's repetitive meetings with various animals (rabbit, wolf, and bear) who intend to eat it, but Kolobok cunningly escapes. With each animal Kolobok sings a song in which he explains, "I got away from Grandmother, I got away from Grandfather, and I will certainly get away from you." The fox manages to catch and eat Kolobok through distracting him by praising his singing.
