[Russian writer Alexander Afanasyev](By Unknown - http://www.pravenc.ru/text/77054.html, Public Domain, Link)
It's not really a fairy tale, but very close. Afanasyev writes: "Many fairy-tale expressions, differing in poetic storage, which are especially often found in fairy tales about animals, have become proverbs and jokes. According to some rhymes, we can conclude that, in addition to the already collected tales of animals, there exist in the people, or at least existed (though forgotten) other similar fairy tales."
For example, one of the rhymes.
"A hen goes in boots, dropped a feather, a feather of a nucleolus, it rolled off to Ivanovo village. In Ivanovo village, a dog lays on a string, the bear on the chain breaks, the gentleman on the stove is getting drunk, the lady at the stove is baking, the crackers are pounding."
