48. You probably won't believe this fairy tale. However, my grandfather, when telling her, always said: not everything in a fairy tale is fiction, there is truth in it, otherwise why would people begin to tell it? This story started like this...

In one Russian folk song sings:

He brought three pockets:
The first pocket is with pies,
The second pocket is with nuts ...

It would seem, what an absurdity: what does it mean to “bring a pocket”?
Old dictionaries indicate that once in Rus' the word " pocket” denoted a sack or bag that was attached to the outside of clothes.

Such pockets were sometimes hung on horse saddles, if necessary, they were not closed, but “ kept(revealed) wider».
Speaking these days "hold your pocket wider" we want to mock someone's overstated demands.

case tobacco

In the expression tobacco case both words are understandable, but why does their combination mean “very bad”, “hopeless”? You can understand this by looking at history. Let's do it together.

It turns out that the expression tobacco case came from the Volga barge haulers. When fording shallow bays or small tributaries of the Volga, barge haulers tied their pouches of tobacco around their necks so that they would not get wet. When the water was so high that it came up to the neck and the tobacco got wet, the barge haulers considered the transition impossible, and their position in these cases was very bad, hopeless.

smoke rocker

Smoke rocker - how is it? How can smoke be associated with a yoke on which buckets of water are carried? What does this expression mean?

Many years ago, the poor built in Rus' the so-called chicken huts without chimneys. Smoke from the mouth of the furnace poured directly into the hut and exited either through the “portage” window, or through open doors in the canopy They say: “to love warmly - and to endure smoke”, “and a kurna hut, but a heat oven”. Over time, smoke began to be removed through pipes above the roof. Depending on the weather, the smoke goes either in a “column” - straight up, or in a “drag” - spreads down, or in a “rocker” - it falls in clubs and rolls over in an arc. By the way the smoke goes, they are guessing for a bucket or bad weather, for rain or wind. They say: smoke pillar, yoke - about any human hustle and bustle, a crowded quarrel with a dump and bustle, where you can’t make out anything, where “such a sodom that the dust is a column, the smoke is a rocker, either from a task, or from a dance.”

The soul has gone to the heels

When a person is very frightened, they can develop an unusually high running speed. The ancient Greeks were the first to notice this feature.
Describing in his Iliad how the enemies were frightened by the hero Hector, who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, Homer uses the following phrase: “Everyone trembled, and all the courage went to their feet ...”
Since then the expression "the soul has gone to the heels" we use when we talk about a person who has become a coward, very scared of something.

Let's start with the fact that no word middle-of-the-road not in Russian. Easter cakes will come out of the Easter cake, Easter cakes from the Easter cake. In fact, it is not necessary to send to the middle of nowhere, but to the middle of nowhere. Then justice will prevail, and we will be able to begin to explain this truly Russian turnover.
Kuligi and kulizhki were very famous and very common words in the North of Russia. When the coniferous forest "weakens", glades and clearings appear there. Grass, flowers and berries instantly begin to grow on them. These forest islands were called kuligs. Since pagan times, sacrifices have been made on kuligas: priests slaughtered deer, sheep, heifers, stallions, everyone ate their fill, got drunk.
When Christianity came to Rus' and it began to crowd out paganism, a peasant came to the kuliga, built a hut, began to sow rye, barley, whole village artels appeared. When life became closer, children and nephews left the old people, and sometimes so far that they stopped reaching, they lived like in the middle of nowhere .

Under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the following order existed: requests, complaints or petitions addressed to the tsar were lowered into a special box nailed to a pole near the palace in the village of Kolomenskoye near Moscow.

In those days, all documents were written on paper, rolled up in the form of a scroll. These scrolls were long, and therefore the box was long, or, as they said then, long.

Petitioners who put their petition in the box had to wait a long time for an answer, bow at the feet of the boyars and clerks, bring them gifts and bribes in order to get an answer to their complaint. The associated red tape and bribes were common. That's why such an unkind fame on long years survived long box. This expression means: shamelessly drag out the case.

First of all, let us recall that this is what they say about purchasing cheap, but at the same time quite worthwhile, necessary, good. It turns out that the word angrily can be used in a "good" sense? Having rummaged in dictionaries, we find out: earlier this word really meant “expensive”, “good”. What then is the pun: "Cheap, but ... expensive"? But it can be expensive not only for the price (especially if you remember that the word angry has a common root with the word heart).

Some linguists argue that this expression arose as a contrast to the proverb: expensive, but cute - cheap, but rotten. It happens that And cheap and angry.

From pre-revolutionary courts, a lot of caustic expressions have come into our speech. Using them, we do not even think about how they happened.
You can often hear the expression " case burned out”, that is, someone has achieved his goal. Behind these words is the former blatant disgrace that was going on in judicial system. Previously, the process could stop due to the fact that the documents collected by the investigation disappeared. In this case, the guilty could not be punished, and the innocent could not be acquitted.
A similar situation is described in Gogol's story, where two friends quarreled.

The pig, which belonged to Ivan Ivanovich, runs into the courtroom and eats the complaint filed former friend her master Ivan Nikiforovich. Of course, this is just a fun fantasy. But in reality, papers often burned, and not always by accident. Then the defendant, who wanted to stop or drag out the process, remained very pleased and said to himself: “Well, my case has burned out!”
So -" case burned out”carries a reminder of those times when justice was administered not by judges, but by bribes.

In the bag

Several centuries ago, when mail in its present form did not exist, all messages were delivered by messengers on horseback. A lot of robbers then wandered along the roads, and a bag with a package could attract the attention of robbers. Therefore, important papers, or, as they used to be called, affairs, sewn under the lining of hats or caps. This is where the expression came from: case in the hat” and means that everything is fine, everything is in order. About the successful completion, the outcome of something.

Woe onion

When a person cries, it means that something happened to him. That's just the reason why tears well up in the eyes, not in all cases is associated with some kind of misfortune. When you peel or cut an onion, tears flow in a stream. And the reason for that is grief onion».

This proverb is also known in other countries, only there it is slightly modified. The Germans, for example, have the phrase "onion tears". These tears people shed over trifles.

Expression "mountain onion" also means minor troubles, much sadness because of which it is not worth it.

deaf grouse

An experienced hunter carefully approaches a black grouse carelessly sitting on a branch. The bird, unaware of anything, is busy filling itself with its intricate singing: flowing, clicking and squirting fills everything around. The black grouse will not hear how the hunter sneaks up to an acceptable distance and unloads his double-barreled shotgun.
It has long been observed that the current black grouse loses its hearing for a while. Hence the name of one of the breeds of black grouse - capercaillie.

Expression "deaf grouse" refers to gaping, sleepy, not noticing people around. Although by nature these birds are very sensitive and attentive.

Agree that sometimes we happen to see situations when the person responsible for some event can run back and forth with the words: - there is no highlight of the program! In this case, everyone understands that even he is a little to blame for this. Having returned home from any concert, we can say that the highlight of the program is folk singer or another outstanding personality who was on stage.

In a word, highlight of the program is a unique number or performance that can arouse genuine interest among the public. It is known that given phraseological unit was interpreted in many languages, but it has survived unchanged to our time.

This saying arose as a mockery and mockery of the numerous tourists who in the 19th century traveled in huge crowds to the so-called foreign places, and they did it so quickly that they did not even manage to enjoy the natural beauty and color. But in the future, they praised everything “seen” so much that everyone was only amazed.

Also in 1928 great writer Maxim Gorky in one of his speeches also used this expression, which further consolidated it in common people. Well, today it is often used in the bohemia of society, which also boasts of its knowledge of the world and numerous travels around the world.

From another source:

Ironic. Without going into details, hastily, superficially (to do something).

Compare: on hastily; on a live thread; on a living hand; with the opposite meaning: along and across.

“For travel essays, the editors are going to send another person to the track, this must be done thoroughly, and not like that, with a cavalry charge, gallop across Europe."

Y. Trifonov. "Quenching Thirst"

Lying like a gray gelding

Lying like gray gelding - this proverb, which can often be heard among the people, is quite difficult to interpret. Agree, it is difficult to explain why exactly the gelding, which is a representative of the animal world, was awarded such a title. And if we take into account the fact that the suit is being specified - gray gelding, then there are even more questions. Many who study this phenomenon say that everything is connected with a mistake that occurred in the memory of our people. After all, this is simply not explained by any other facts.
The well-known linguist Dahl said that for many years the word " lying" , used today, could come from the word "rushing" as a result of the incorrect pronunciation of one of the speakers. Initially, the gray gelding boasts tremendous strength and endurance.
But at the same time, one should not forget that gray gelding nothing significantly different from bay or gray horses, which also boast endurance and quick wits. From this it follows that the masses could hardly simply exclude them from the phraseological unit and single out the gray gelding.

Today you can find one more enough interesting interpretation. It is believed that for the first time this phraseological unit originated in the memories of a man named Sivens-Mering, who had the fame of an impudent liar. There were bad rumors about him, so many said - lies like Seans-Mehring . Maybe after years of use this option, the one that we often use today was installed.
There are other opinions that completely refute previous versions. It is said that there are other interpretations of it, such as "lazy as a gray gelding" and others. Take, for example, the well-known Gogol hero Khlestakov, who often uses the expression “ stupid as a gray gelding". This should also include the concept of "bullshit", which means nonsense and complete nonsense. In a word, phraseology has not yet been able to give a clear interpretation of the expression " lying like a gray gelding”, but this does not prevent us from using it in daily communication.

Get into a mess

manual slip

Now rope, twine, ropes are made in factories, and not so long ago it was handicraft. Entire villages were engaged in it.
In the streets there were poles with hooks, from which the ropes stretched to wooden wheels. They were rotated, running in a circle, by horses. All these devices of rope artisans were called.
It was necessary to carefully monitor so as not to catch on the tourniquet tightly coiled in the hole. If the tip of a jacket or shirt gets into weaving - goodbye clothes! It shreds its prosak, tears it up, and sometimes even maims the person himself.

V. I. Dal explains: “Prosak is the space from the spinning wheel to the sleigh, where the twine scurries and spins ..; if you get there with the end of your clothes, with your hair, you will twist it and you won’t get out; hence the proverb."

That's where the dog is buried!

As the story goes, the experienced Austrian warrior Sigismund Altensteig had a favorite dog that accompanied him on all military campaigns. It so happened that fate threw Sigismund to the Dutch lands, where he fell into a very dangerous situation. But a devoted four-legged friend quickly came to the rescue and saved the owner, sacrificing his life. To pay tribute to the dog, Altensteig arranged a solemn funeral, and decorated the grave with a monument commemorating heroic deed dogs.
But after a couple of centuries, it became very difficult to find a monument, only some locals could help tourists find it.

Then the expression " That's where the dog is buried!”, meaning “find out the truth”, “find what you are looking for”.

There is another version of the origin of this phrase. Before the final naval battle between the Persian and Greek fleets, the Greeks loaded all the children, the elderly and women into transport ships and sent them away from the battlefield.
The devoted dog of Xanthippus, the son of Arifron, swam over the ship and, meeting with the owner, died of exhaustion. Xanthippus, amazed by the act of the dog, erected a monument to his pet, which became the personification of devotion and courage.

Some linguists believe that the saying was invented by treasure hunters who are afraid of evil spirits that guard the treasures. To hide their true goals, they said "black dog" and dog, which meant respectively evil spirit and treasure. Based on this assumption, under the phrase " That's where the dog is buried” meant “This is where the treasure is buried.”

free will

Perhaps to some this expression seems to be complete nonsense: like " oil oily". But do not rush to conclusions, but rather listen.

Many years ago, ancient Russian appanage princes wrote in their treaties with each other: “And the boyars, and the children of the boyars, and the servants, and the peasants free will…»

For a free will, therefore, it was a right, a privilege, it meant freedom of action and deeds, it allowed to live on earth as long as it lives, and go wherever it pleases. Only free people enjoyed this freedom, as sons with fathers, brothers with brothers, nephews with uncles, and so on were considered in those days.

And there were also serfs and slaves who forever belonged to the masters. They could be pawned as a thing, sold and even killed without trial or investigation.

Simonyi: the will to the wave, the way to the walker;

Dal: free will - paradise saved, wild field, damn the swamp.

To be born in a shirt

In one of the poems of the Russian poet Koltsov there are lines:

Oh, on an unfortunate day
In the untalented hour
I'm shirtless
Born into the world...

To uninitiated people, the last two lines may seem very strange. You might think that lyrical hero regrets that in the womb he did not have time to pull on his shirt, or, to put it to everyone plain language, shirt.

Once a shirt was called not only an element of clothing, but also various films. The thin membrane under eggshell could also bear the same name.

Sometimes it happens that the head of the child, when he is born, may be covered with a film, which soon falls off. According to ancient beliefs, a child born with such a film will be happy in life. And the French even came up with a special name for it - “ happy hat».

These days, the thought that a small film on the head of a newborn will make him lucky is a smile. However, in figuratively we often use this expression when we talk about people who are lucky in something. Now the phrase is used only as a saying, and folk omen has long since sunk into oblivion.

By the way, not only in Russian there is such a proverb. Europeans also use similar expressions, for example, " be born in a cap". The English have another phrase that has the same meaning: "to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth." But it came from a different custom. The fact is that in Foggy Albion it is customary to give newborns spoons made of silver for good luck.

They don’t go to a foreign monastery with their charter

Once upon a time, the routine of the entire monastic life was determined monastic statutes. One monastery was guided by one charter, the other - by another. Moreover: in the old days, some monasteries had their own judicial charters and had the right to independently judge their people in all their sins and transgressions.

Expression: " They don’t go to a foreign monastery with their charter"This is used in a figurative sense in the sense that one must obey the established rules, customs in society, at home, and not establish one's own.

Balbeshka Stoerosovaya

So they say about a stupid, stupid person.
“Excuse me, why did I say such a stupid, awkward thing to you, it jumped off my tongue, I don’t know myself, I’m a fool, a dumbass stout-haired” (Yu. Bondarev).

Burnt theater artist

About a person whose real abilities or capabilities do not correspond to their supposed level.

“Death is the same for everyone, the same for everyone, and no one can be freed from it. And while she, death, lies in wait for you in an unknown place, with inevitable torment, and there is fear from it in you, you are not a hero and not a god, just an artist from a burnt theater, amusing himself and the full-fledged listeners.

(V. Astafiev).

This idiom (set phrase) is intended to evaluate non-professionals. A couple of centuries ago, the profession of a theater actor was, to put it mildly, not prestigious.

Hence the disdain that comes through in the phrase: firstly, an actor, and secondly, without a theater. In other words, the circus left, but the clowns stayed.
Because the burned theater is not the theater that was destroyed by the fire, but the one that went bankrupt due to the inept play of the actors.

Appetite comes with eating

About the increase in someone's needs as they are satisfied.

The expression came into use after it was used French writer F. Rabelais (1494-1553) in his novel "Gargantua and Pantagruel" (1532).

Guardian angel

According to religious beliefs a creature that is the protector of a person.

“He prayed every time until he felt on his forehead, as it were, someone's fresh touch; this, he thought then, is the guardian angel accepting me ”(I. Turgenev).

About a person showing to someone constant attention and care.

beat with a forehead

Ancient antiquity emanates from this primordially Russian expression. And it went from Moscow palace customs. The boyars closest to the tsar used to gather in the "front" of the Kremlin Palace early in the morning and after dinner at vespers. Seeing the king, they began to bow, touching the floor with their foreheads. And others did it with such zeal that even tapping was heard: evaluate, they say, sovereign, our love and zeal.

Fresh legend, but hard to believe.
As he was famous for, whose neck bent more often;
As not in the war, but in the world they took it with their foreheads -
Knocked on the floor without regret!

A. Griboedov, "Woe from Wit"

Thus, beat with a forehead means first of all bow”, Well, its second meaning is “ask for something”, “complain”, “thank”.

“Oriental splendor reigned at the Court of our kings, who, following the Asiatic custom, forced the ambassadors to make speeches only on their knees and fall to the ground before the throne, from which the common expression then came: I strike with my forehead.”

The evidence given at the same time of the existence of the earthly bow refers no earlier than to XVI century, since only Ivan the Terrible in 1547 was the first to accept the permanent title of "tsar" in Moscow. It turns out that the history of the phrase "beat with a forehead" began twice. At first, they were literally beaten with a forehead, admitting their guilt, and with the introduction of Christianity, they worshiped the Lord God. Then they “beat with their foreheads” in words, complaining, thanking and greeting, and, finally, they introduced the custom of bowing to the ground to the sovereign at court, which was also called “strike with their foreheads”.

Then, in the first case, the expression meant not “bow to the earth”, but “bow from the waist”, in the form when, when asking for forgiveness in parochial disputes, the offender, standing on the bottom step of the porch, bowed to his master from the waist. At the same time, the strong one stood on the top step. A waist bow, thus, was accompanied by a petition, a knock of the forehead on the steps.

Rake heat with the wrong hands

This means: enjoy the results of someone else's work.

And what kind of heat are we talking about?

Heat is burning coals. And, by the way, raking them out of the oven was not at all an easy task for the hostess: it would be easier and easier for her to do it “by someone else's hands”.

In the common people there is also a rougher version:

"Ride someone else's dick to paradise."

Beat the thumbs

To beat the buckets - to mess around.

What is buckets ? Surely the word must have its own meaning?

Yes, sure. When in Rus' they slurped cabbage soup and ate porridge with wooden spoons, tens of thousands of handicraftsmen beat the buckets , that is, they pricked linden wood logs into blanks for the master-spoon. This work was considered trifling, it was usually performed by an apprentice. Therefore, she became a model not of deeds, but of idleness.

Of course, everything is known in comparison, and this work seemed easy only against the backdrop of hard peasant labor.

And not everyone will succeed now well bucks to beat .

Know by heart

What is the meaning of these words - children know no worse than adults. Know by heart - means, for example, to learn a poem perfectly, to solidify a role and, in general, to understand something perfectly well.

And there was a time when know by heart , check by heart taken almost literally. This saying arose from the custom of checking the authenticity of gold coins, rings and other precious metal products by tooth. You bite the coin with your teeth, and if there is no dent left on it, then it is genuine, not fake. Otherwise, you could get a fake one: hollow inside or filled with cheap metal.

The same custom gave rise to another vivid figurative expression: crack a man , that is, to thoroughly know its advantages, disadvantages, intentions.

Take rubbish out of the hut

Usually this expression is used with negation: " Do not take dirty linen out of the hut!».

Its figurative meaning, I hope, is known to everyone: quarrels, squabbles between close people, or secrets of a narrow circle of people should not be disclosed.

And here's the real meaning of it phraseological unit Let's try to explain now, although it will not be easy. This expression is connected with evil spirits and, by the way, there are a lot of such in the Russian language. According to ancient beliefs, rubbish from the hut must be burned in the oven, so that evil people do not get it. The so-called quackery "rejections" or "relations" were very common in the past. A branch could be, for example, a bundle thrown at a crossroads to "guard" against illness. Coal or furnace ash was usually wrapped in such a bundle - oven .

She was especially popular with healers, because it was in the oven that rubbish from the hut was burned, in which hair and other items necessary for witchcraft were found. It is no accident, therefore, that the ban on dirty linen in public came into use in the Russian language.

It is written with a pitchfork on the water

The expression "It is written with a pitchfork on the water" comes from Slavic mythology.

Today it means an unlikely, doubtful and hardly possible event. In Slavic mythology, pitchforks were called mythical creatures living in water bodies. According to legend, they could predict fate by writing it on the water. Until now, "forks" in some Russian dialects mean "circles".
During divination by water, pebbles were thrown into the river and, according to the shape of the circles formed on the surface, their intersections and sizes, they predicted the future. And since these predictions are not accurate and rarely come true, they began to talk about an unlikely event.

In not so ancient times, gypsies with bears walked around the villages and staged various performances. They led the bears on a leash tied to a nose ring. Such a ring made it possible to keep the bears in check and perform the necessary tricks. During the performances, the gypsies performed various tricks, cleverly deceiving the audience.

Over time, the expression began to be applied in a broader sense - "to mislead someone."

Goal like a falcon

In the old days, for the capture of besieged cities, wall-beating guns were used, which were called "falcons". It was a log bound with iron or a cast-iron beam, reinforced with chains. Swinging it, they hit the walls and destroyed them.

The figurative expression "goal like a falcon" means "poor to the last extreme, nowhere to get money, even beat your head against the wall."

Keep me out

The expression "Chur me" came to us from ancient times.
Since ancient times, to this day, we say "Chur me", "Chur mine", "Chur in half." Chur is ancient name house keeper, hearth(Chur - Schur - Ancestor).

It is the fire, mental and physical, that gives people warmth, light, comfort and goodness in every sense, is the main custodian of the family heritage, family happiness.

What a fairy tale! Meanwhile, this folklore genre is divided into several more groups, one of which contains proverbs and tiresome tales. This is comic folklore for children. A fairy tale is not for the sake of a fairy tale, but for the sake of fun. Short, without the main action and completion, these works of folk art are created to amuse, confuse the little listener. An unexpected deception is revealed after the first two lines of the tale, numerous repetitions, and now the children have a cry of discontent or a cheerful laugh. Yep, blew it!

Boring Tales

Boring tales can be put on the same level as nursery rhymes and jokes. With these short fairy tales, according to V. Propp, the narrator wanted to calm the children who endlessly asked to tell fairy tales. And unsurprisingly boring tales are short and at the same time endless: "... start reading from the beginning ...".

Often this is a funny short story that wipes away the tears of resentment in the eyes of the child from the fact that they don’t want to tell him a fairy tale. Children quickly memorize boring tales and repeat them with pleasure.

Sayings

Saying- she is a fable among the people, a saying - is repeated in many fairy tales, and follows before the beginning of the main narrative. Often the saying is not connected with the main text of the tale. She, as it were, anticipates, prepares the listeners, opens a window into the world of fairy-tale action. Russian proverb is easy to learn. These are 2-3 sentences repeated in many fairy tales. "They lived, were ...", etc.

Sometimes folk saying becomes a household name and at the same time it is located in the main narrative: "Sivka burka is a prophetic kaurka", "elbow-deep in gold, knee-deep in silver", "... turn your front to me, back to the forest."

Surprisingly, a saying can also be located at the end of a fairy tale. Then she completes the story and the child, listening or reading, understands that the plot of the story is invented "... and I was there, drinking beer..." Often these last lines make the kids laugh: "... blue caftan, but it seemed to me to throw off the caftan ...". Sometimes the tale ends with a proverb and sums up or reveals the moral of the tale.

Sayings and boring tales for children are very interesting. They not only occupy the child, but also allow you to train your memory, develop your imagination, but also make the world of childhood wider and more interesting.

    To the humpbacked horse a saying - beyond the forests, beyond the seas,

    behind high seas, against the sky on earth, lived an old man ...

    and the song-saying of Vladimir Semenovich:

    And you calm down, calm down, melancholy, in my chest.

    This is just a saying, a fairy tale ahead ..., (also notorious.)

    A saying is a part of a story aimed at sort of opening the veil of events, intriguing the reader, amusing, captivating to read the fairy tale to the end ... A saying can start a fairy tale, or maybe in its middle, bordering plots.

    First, I would like to note that a saying means a certain very short story before a fairy tale, in order to set the reader in the mood of a fairy tale.

    I can give examples like:

    And here are some more tips that should certainly be familiar to everyone:

    Many sayings not only in Russian folk tales, but also in Armenian, so I met a few sayings like And three apples fell from the sky, to everyone who will listen to our fairy tales today or such an intricate saying that came from antiquity Adi-budi, chelem-chudi, chop thin, lose weight. You can find others .

    Sayings are a kind of preamble to the plot of the work. It sets us up for the perception of an unusual plot of further narration, serves as an enticing move by the author of the work.

    such a saying sums up everything that was said earlier and makes you draw some conclusions for yourself.

    This extra-plot element, used on behalf of the narrator in the narrative, sets the reader up for both possible magic and probable fiction, but at the same time removes responsibility for the authenticity of what was said:

    Sayings, together with proverbs and sayings, add color, colorfulness and that incredible attractiveness to Russian fairy tales for which everyone loves them - from young to old. Because

  • A saying is that which is with a fairy tale, but not yet the fairy tale itself. This is an introduction, something that, in principle, does not reflect the plot of the subsequent story.

    I have a collection of fairy tales in front of me, and this is what I found.

    The tale of the Snow Maiden begins with these words:

    great tip, clearest example, In my opinion.

    And here is the fairy tale of Shabarsha (by the way, I had never heard of such a thing before), her saying:

    I found the longest saying in a fairy tale, which also has a long title:

    And the hint is:

    Children in lower grades should know how a fairy tale is built, where it begins, what it is based on, how it ends. By doing homework, find a saying, children confuse a saying with a beginning. It is very easy to define a hint. try to change the accent in the word proverb and get the value of the text that is added to the fabulous description. For this purpose, the saying serves to set the listeners to a magical story, most often sayings are found in long fairy tales, where many events take place. Below are examples of sayings and a definition of what a fairy tale consists of. Some hints are hinted at in the tale itself.

    The fairy tale affects, but the deed is not done right away.

    Morning evening is wiser.

    There are a lot of sayings. Here are examples. In a certain kingdom, in a certain state ... It was or wasn't, who knows? It was not for nothing that I decided to tell a story. The tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it - good fellows lesson. (although this is more for the ending)

    A fairy tale begins, a fable begins, a kind fairy tale, a long story, not from a sivka, not from a cloak, not from a prophetic kaurka, not from a valiant whistle, not from a woman's cry.

    The fairy tale is a lie and in it a hint to the good fellows a lesson. I remember this one.

    Each fairy tale has a saying, many of them begin in approximately the same way (Once upon a time there were in a distant kingdom, The father had three sons, and so on). Surely, many have noticed that some fairy tales begin in the same way, these are the very sayings, and by the name you can understand that the saying is, as it were, a preface or prologue to the fairy tale itself.

    Saying usually located at the beginning of a fairy tale, it prepares the listener, sets him in a fairy-tale mood, looks forward to the pleasure of meeting with miracles, magic, ingenuity, folk wisdom. Not necessarily a saying always reflects the meaning of the upcoming fairy tale, on the contrary, it can exist on its own and carry its own semantic load.

    For example,

    or like this:

    There are shorter sayings:

    In addition to sayings that open the door to a fairy tale, there are also endings summing up the story. They are located at the end of the tale, sometimes they have a moral, but most often they brighten up the end of the story and parting with the tale:
