Today's folklore research WTF:
The Russian tale "Prince Ivan, the Firebird, and the Grey Wolf" has been translated to English in the 19th century by Edith Hodgetts as
"The Grey Wolf and the Golden Cassowary"
And now I can't not imagine the prince trying to wrangle
A damn FLYING CASSOWARY
(This is why you double check translations, people)
😬 😆
