A woodcutter had two sons.
Every time he went to the forest, he took one of them as a helper.
Once the woodcutter came across the car and said to his sons:
- Come on, boys, go to the forest alone for wood, and I'll stay at home to rest, because I'm very tired.
The boys were glad that they had an opportunity to cancel their father and drove the car. On leaving the house, the elder turned back and asked his father:
- Dad, if our car breaks down, who will fix it for us?
"Don't worry," replied the father. - If you break the car, call trouble - it will fix it.
The boys went to the forest.
They unharnessed, let the oxen graze and grabbed the axes.
It spun around. They started cutting.
They quickly chopped wood, loaded and overloaded the car.
They harnessed the cattle again and drove back.
Won't you, in the middle of the road, going down a hill, the overloaded car accelerated, hit the yoke and broke the towbar.
The two boys bit their lips. Now how are they going to get the car with the wood?
Then the elder guessed about his father's order and began to shout as loud as he could:
- Woe! Alas! Come fix our car!
Nobody called.
- Woe! - gasped the little one's voice even louder. - Come on, we're in trouble!
But the forest was deaf and there was no trouble.
It got dark.
The birds returned to their nests. A pale moon appeared in the sky.
- Father - said the younger brother - it was seen that this cursed trouble will not come. Who knows where she is stuck in the desert - probably fixing another car or lying under a tree. Let's fix the car ourselves.
– How? – asked the older one. - It is not an easy job.
– We will cut a new drawbar from dry dogwood, carve it and that's it!
Said, done.
The two nimble boys ran, found a dry dogwood, cut it down, carved it nicely, made a new drawbar and put it in place of the broken one.
They drove the car home.
While they were unloading the wood, they told their father what had happened.
- Leave it, dad, we broke the towbar in the middle of the road. We began to cry trouble. We shouted, we shouted, we cleared our throats, but she did not call, as if she had sunk into the ground. Then we got on our own and made a new tow bar, stronger than the old one.
The father smiled and said:
- Well, boys, you looked for trouble in the deserts, and it was with you. Adversity itself has helped you fix your car. Think about it for a while and you'll see that I'm right.
The fabulous photo moments were captured in the "Fairy Tale Forest" park in the town of Rakovski.

How do you get to the city of Rakovski?
Rakovski is a city in southern Bulgaria, Plovdiv district, the administrative center of Rakovski municipality.
It is named after the prominent Bulgarian national revolutionary Georgi Stoykov Rakovski, known as Georgi Sava Rakovski.
The city was created in 1966 by the merger of three villages - General Nikolaevo, Sekirovo and Parcevich, in the past called Kalachlii, Baltaja and Alifakakh respectively.
The villages are inhabited by the descendants of Paulicians who converted to Catholicism in the 17th - 19th centuries.
