9 пускать козла в огород
ирон.lit. turn a goat into one's garden; cf. give the sheep in care of the wolf; set a wolf to keep the sheep; set a fox to keep one's geese; put the cat near the goldfish bowlКаждое лето Лущилин нанимался в колхоз сторожить за Доном капусту, помидоры и другие овощи, о чём обычно хуторские женщины недвусмысленно говорили: "Пустили козла в огород!" Слова эти как нельзя более кстати подходили к деду Лущилину не только потому, что он ухитрялся за Доном, вступая в сделки с шоферами проезжих автомашин, приторговывать колхозными овощами, но и потому, что своей наружностью он действительно смахивал на козла: высокий, худой до последней степени и с длинной пегой бородкой. (А. Калинин, Цыган) — Every summer Lushchilin took on the job of looking after the kolkhoz cabbages, tomatoes and other vegetables. The hamlet women qualified this as 'turning a goat into your garden', a definition that applied most aptly to Lushchilin not only because he contrived, with the help of passing lorry drivers, to turn some of the kolkhoz vegetables into money that went into his own pocket, but also because he actually resembled a goat himself, being tall and scrawny, and wearing a long goat-like beard.
