- Someone who lives in a teremochka, someone who lives in a low one?
- I am a norunge mouse.
- I'm a frog frog.
- I, a runaway bunny, ears are long, legs are short, and who are you?

Tired of the bun lying down - he rolled from the window to the bench, from the bench to the floor - and to the door, jumped over the threshold, into the hallway, from the hallway to the porch, from the porch to the yard, and there through the gate, further and further.

- I'm a gingerbread man, a gingerbread man,
According to the barn metyon,
Scraped by bits,
Mixed with sour cream
planted in the oven,
It's cold on the window.

From you bear
Half a heart to leave.
And the bun rolled - the bear only looked after him.
A gingerbread man rolls, and a fox meets him: - Hello, gingerbread man! What a pretty, ruddy little boy you are!
Gingerbread man is glad that he was praised, and sang his song, and the fox listens and creeps closer and closer:

From you fox
Don't be smart about leaving.

Russian folk tale "The Little Fox and the Wolf"
Grandfather and grandmother lived. Grandpa says to grandma:
- You, woman, bake pies, and I will harness the sleigh and go for fish.
Caught fish and carries home a whole cart. Here he goes and sees: the fox curled up and lies on the road. Grandfather got down from the wagon, went up to the fox, but she didn’t stir, she lay there as if dead.
- Here's a gift for my wife! - said the grandfather, took the fox and put it on the cart, and he went ahead.
And the little fox seized the time and began to throw everything out of the cart, one by one, one fish and one fish, everything one fish and one fish. She threw out all the fish and left.
- Well, old woman, - says the grandfather, - what kind of collar did I bring you for a fur coat!
- There, on the cart, - and the fish, and the collar. The woman came up to the cart: no collar, no fish, and began to scold her husband:
- Oh, you, so-and-so! You even dared to cheat!
Then the grandfather realized that the fox was not dead. I grieved, I grieved, but there was nothing to do.
And the chanterelle gathered all the scattered fish in a pile, sat down on the road and eats for herself. The gray wolf comes
— Hello, sister!
— Hello, brother!
- Give me the fish!
- Catch yourself and eat.
- I can't.
- Eka, I caught it! You, brother, go to the river, dip your tail into the hole, sit and say: “Catch, fish, both small and large! Catch, fish, both small and large! The fish will grab onto your tail. Yes, look, sit a little longer, otherwise you won’t catch it!
The wolf went to the river, lowered his tail into the hole and began to say:
Caught a fish,
small and big!
Caught a fish,
small and big!
Following him, the fox appeared; walks around the wolf and laments:
Clear, clear the stars in the sky,
Freeze, freeze
wolf tail!
- What are you, little fox-sister, talking about?
- I'm helping you.
And she herself, a cheat, constantly repeats:
Freeze, freeze
wolf tail!
For a long, long time the wolf sat at the hole, did not leave the place all night, his tail froze; I tried to get up - it was not there!
“Eka, how many fish have fallen - and you won’t pull it out!” he thinks.
He looks, and the women go for water and shout, seeing the gray:
- Wolf, wolf! Beat him, beat him!
They ran and began to beat the wolf - some with a yoke, some with a bucket, some with anything. The wolf jumped, jumped, tore off his tail and started running without looking back.
“Very well,” he thinks, “I will repay you, sister!”
In the meantime, while the wolf was puffing its sides, the fox-sister wanted to try: would it be possible to pull off something else? She climbed into one of the huts, where the women baked pancakes, but hit her head in a tub of dough, got smeared and ran.
And the wolf to meet her:
- Is that how you study? I've been thrashed all over!
- Oh, wolf-brother! - says the fox-sister. - At least you bled, but I have a brain, I was nailed more painfully than yours: I trudge by force.
“And that’s true,” says the wolf, “where are you, sister, to go, sit on me, I’ll take you.”
The fox sat on his back, and he carried her.
Here is the fox-sister sitting and slowly humming:
The beaten unbeaten is lucky,
The beaten unbeaten is lucky!
What are you talking about, sister?
- I, brother, say: "The beaten one is lucky."
Yes, sister, yes!

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Fairy tale "Three Bears"
One girl left home for the forest. She got lost in the forest and began to look for her way home, but she did not find it, but came to the house in the forest.
The door was open: she looked through the door, saw that there was no one in the house, and entered. Three bears lived in this house. One bear was a father, his name was Mikhailo Ivanovich. He was big and shaggy. The other was a bear. She was smaller, and her name was Nastasya Petrovna. The third was a little bear cub, and his name was Mishutka. The bears were not at home, they went for a walk in the forest.
There were two rooms in the house: one dining room, the other bedroom. The girl entered the dining room and saw three cups of stew on the table. The first cup, very large, was Mikhail Ivanychev's. The second cup, smaller, was Nastasya Petrovnina; the third, little blue cup, was Mishutkin. Beside each cup lay a spoon: large, medium and small.
The girl took the biggest spoon and drank from the biggest cup; then she took the middle spoon and drank from the middle cup; then she took a small spoon and drank from a little blue cup, and Mishutka's stew seemed to her the best of all.
The girl wanted to sit down and saw three chairs by the table: one large - Mikhail Ivanovich, the other smaller - Nastasya Petrovnin, and the third, small, with a blue cushion - Mishutkin. She climbed onto a large chair and fell; then she sat down on the middle chair - it was awkward on it; then she sat down on a small chair and laughed—it was so good. She took the little blue cup on her knees and began to eat. She ate all the stew and began to swing on a chair.
The chair broke and she fell to the floor. She got up, picked up a chair and went to another room. There were three beds: one large bed for Mikhail Ivanychev, another medium bed for Nastasya Petrovnina, and the third small bed for Mishenkina. The girl lay down in a large one - it was too spacious for her; lay down in the middle - it was too high; she lay down in the little one - the bed fit her just right, and she fell asleep.
And the bears came home hungry and wanted to have dinner. The big bear took his cup, looked and roared in a terrible voice:
— WHO DRINKED IN MY CUP?
Nastasya Petrovna looked into her cup and growled not so loudly:
— WHO DRINKED IN MY CUP?
But Mishutka saw his empty cup and squeaked in a thin voice:
— WHO DRINKED IN MY CUP AND DRINKED EVERYTHING?
Mikhailo Ivanovich looked at his chair and growled in a terrible voice:
Nastasya Petrovna glanced at her chair and growled not so loudly:
— WHO SAT ON MY CHAIR AND PUSHED IT FROM THE PLACE?
Mishutka looked at his broken chair and squeaked:
WHO SIT ON MY CHAIR AND BROKEN IT?
The bears came to another room. — WHO WAS IN MY BED AND CRASHED IT? roared Mikhailo Ivanovich in a terrible voice.
— WHO WAS IN MY BED AND CRUSHED IT? growled Nastasya Petrovna, not so loudly.
And Mishenka set up a bench, climbed into his bed and squeaked in a thin voice:
WHO WAS IN MY BED?
And suddenly he saw a girl and squealed as if he was being cut:
- Here she is! Hold it, hold it! Here she is! Here she is! Ay-ya-yay! Hold on!
He wanted to bite her. The girl opened her eyes, saw the bears and rushed to the window. The window was open, she jumped out the window and ran away. And the bears did not catch up with her.
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Fairy tale "Squirrel and Wolf"
The squirrel jumped from branch to branch and fell right on the sleepy wolf. The wolf jumped up and wanted to eat her. The squirrel began to ask: "Let me go." The wolf said: “Okay, I'll let you in, just tell me why you squirrels are so cheerful. I'm always bored, but you look at you, you're all playing and jumping up there. The squirrel said: “Let me go up the tree first, and from there I will tell you, otherwise I am afraid of you.” The wolf let go, and the squirrel went to the tree and said from there: “You are bored because you are angry. Anger burns your heart. And we are cheerful because we are kind and do no harm to anyone.
V. M. Garshin "Frog Traveler"
Once upon a time there lived a frog frog. She sat in the swamp, caught mosquitoes and midges, in the spring she croaked loudly with her friends. And she would have lived happily for the whole century - of course, if the stork had not eaten her. But one incident happened. One day she was sitting on a piece of driftwood sticking out of the water and enjoying the warm fine rain.
“Oh, what a beautiful wet weather today! she thought. “What a pleasure it is to live in the world!”
The rain was drizzling down her mottled lacquered back; drops of it dripped under her belly and behind her paws, and it was deliciously pleasant, so pleasant that she almost croaked, but, fortunately, she remembered that it was already autumn and that frogs do not croak in autumn - there is spring for this , - and that, by croaking, she can drop her frog dignity. So she kept silent and continued to bask.
Suddenly a thin, hissing, intermittent sound resounded in the air. There is such a breed of ducks: when they fly, their wings, cutting through the air, seem to sing, or, better, whistle. Fu-fu-fu-fu - resounds in the air when a flock of such ducks flies high above you, and you can’t even see them themselves: they fly so high. This time the ducks, having described a huge semicircle, descended and sat down just in the very swamp where the frog lived.
- Quack quack! one of them said. - It's still a long way to go, you need to eat.
And the frog immediately hid. Although she knew that the ducks would not eat her, a big and fat frog, but still, just in case, she dived under a snag. However, after thinking, she decided to stick her pop-eyed head out of the water: she was very interested to know where the ducks were flying.
- Quack quack! another duck said. - It's getting cold! Hurry south! Hurry south!
And all the ducks began to quack loudly in approval.
“Lady ducks,” the frog dared to say, “what is the south to which you are flying?” I apologize for the inconvenience.
And the ducks surrounded the frog. At first they had a desire to eat it, but each of them thought that the frog was too big and would not fit into the throat. Then they all began to shout, flapping their wings:
— Good in the south! Now it's warm! There are such glorious, warm swamps! What kind of worms are there! Good in the south!
They screamed so much that they almost stunned the frog. As soon as she persuaded them to shut up, she asked one of them, who seemed to her fatter and smarter than everyone else, to explain to her what the south is. And when she told her about the south, the frog was delighted, but in the end she still asked, because she was careful:
- Are there many midges and mosquitoes there?
- ABOUT! Whole clouds! the duck replied.
— Qua! - said the frog and immediately turned around to see if there were any friends here who could hear her and condemn her for croaking in the fall. She couldn't help but croak at least once: "Take me with you!"
- It's amazing to me! the duck exclaimed. How can we take you? You don't have wings.
- When are you flying? the frog asked.
- Soon soon! all the ducks yelled. - Quack quack! Quack quack! It is cold here! South! South!
“Let me think for just five minutes,” said the frog. “I’ll be right back, I’ll probably come up with something good.”
And she plopped down from the branch, on which she climbed again, into the water, dived into the mud and completely buried herself in it so that foreign objects would not interfere with her thinking. Five minutes passed, the ducks were just about to fly, when suddenly out of the water, near the branch on which the frog was sitting, its muzzle appeared, and the expression of this muzzle was the most radiant that a frog is capable of.
- I've figured it out! I found! - she said. “Let two of you take a twig in your beaks, and I will cling to it in the middle. You will fly and I will drive. It is only necessary that you do not quack, and I do not croak, and everything will be fine.
Although being silent and dragging even a light frog of three thousand miles is not God knows what a pleasure, but her mind led the ducks to such delight that they unanimously agreed to carry her. They decided to take turns every two hours, and since there were, as the riddle says, so many ducks, and so many more, half as many, and a quarter as many, and there was only one frog, it was not necessary to carry it very often.
They found a good, strong twig, two ducks took it in their beaks, the frog clung to the middle with its mouth, and the whole herd rose into the air. The frog was breathless from the terrible height to which it was raised; in addition, the ducks flew unevenly and pulled the twig; the poor frog was dangling in the air like a paper clown, and with all her urine she clenched her jaws so as not to tear herself away and plop down on the ground. However, she soon got used to her position and even began to look around. Fields, meadows, rivers and mountains quickly swept under her, which, however, it was very difficult for her to see, because, hanging on a twig, she looked back and a little upward, but she still saw something and rejoiced and was proud.
“This is how I came up with an excellent idea,” she thought to herself.
And the ducks flew after the front pair carrying her, shouted and praised her.
“Our frog has an amazingly smart head,” they said. “Even among the ducks, there are few of them.
She could hardly restrain herself from thanking them, but remembering that if she opened her mouth she would fall from a terrible height, she clenched her jaw even tighter and decided to endure. She hung out in this way all day; the ducks carrying it changed on the fly, deftly picking up the twig; it was very frightening: more than once the frog almost croaked with fear, but it was necessary to have the presence of mind, and she had it. In the evening, the whole company stopped in some kind of swamp; at dawn, the ducks with the frog set off again, but this time the traveler, in order to better see what was happening on the way, clung to her back and head forward, and her belly back. Ducks flew over harvested fields, over yellowed forests and over villages full of bread in stacks; from there came the sound of people talking and the sound of flails with which they threshed rye. People looked at the flock of ducks and, noticing something strange in it, pointed at it with their hands. And the frog terribly wanted to fly closer to the earth, show himself and listen to what they say about him. On her next vacation she said:
"Can't we fly not so high?" I'm dizzy from the height, and I'm afraid to fall if I suddenly feel sick.
And good ducks promised her to fly lower. The next day they flew so low that they heard voices:
“Look, look,” shouted children in one village, “ducks are carrying a frog!”
The frog heard this and her heart skipped a beat.
“Look, look,” adults in another village shouted, “this is a miracle!”
“Do they know I came up with this, not the ducks?” thought the frog.
Look, look, they shouted in the third village, what a miracle! And who came up with such a cunning thing?
Then the frog could not stand it and, forgetting all caution, screamed with all his might:
- It's me! I!
And with that cry, she flew upside down to the ground. The ducks screamed loudly; one of them wanted to catch the poor companion on the fly, but missed. The frog, jerking all four legs, quickly fell to the ground; but since the ducks were flying very fast, she did not fall directly on the place over which she screamed and where there was a hard road, but much further, which was great happiness for her, because she flopped into a dirty pond at the edge of the village.
She soon emerged from the water and immediately again shouted in a rage at the top of her lungs:
- It's me! This is what I came up with!
But there was no one around her. Frightened by the unexpected splash, the local frogs all hid in the water. When they began to emerge from it, they looked with surprise at the new one.
And she told them a wonderful story about how she thought all her life and finally invented a new, unusual way of traveling on ducks; how she had her own ducks to carry her wherever she pleased; how she visited the beautiful south, where it is so good, where there are such beautiful warm swamps and so many midges and all kinds of other edible insects.
“I stopped by to see how you live,” she said. “I will stay with you until spring, until my ducks, which I released, return.
But the ducks never returned. They thought that the wah had crashed on the ground, and they were very sorry for her.
A. Fedorov-Davydov "Sandals-bast shoes"
Once a fox spent the night with a man. In the morning I got ready for the road and secretly took with me a pair of old bast shoes. “Maybe,” he thinks, “they will be useful for something.”
He walks through the forest, waving his bast shoes from side to side, purring a song under his breath.
A homeless dog runs towards her - a mangy nose, dragging a rooster.
- Hello, Kuma-fox!
— Hello, kumanek!
— What do you have?
The fox looked around at the stray dog, and then stood very close to him and sang:
And this is a bast-bast shoe,
Weaved his great craftsman.
And you - well, well, well! -
Look what this thing is.
Pretty for everything:
If you want - measure rye for them,
If you want - slurp them,
If you want, put the kids in it.
Do you want to wash
He is for you - and the trough! ..
- Ah, - says the dog, - what a good thing! .. Give it to me, fox, I really liked your bast shoes. You yourself understand how he can be useful to me in my wandering life ...
The fox was to deny: "No, no, and it hurts the most." Yes, the dog is not far behind. She agreed.
- So be it, for your sake I will give one bast shoe, and I myself need the other ... Give me a rooster in exchange!
And a wolf comes towards her and carries a piglet.
- Hello, fox! How are you?
- Hello, wolf! I live nothing, I’ve taken up trade: I trade in bast shoes, you won’t get enough. I used to change it for roosters, but now I realized that it is more expensive for myself.
- And what is this, godfather, a bast shoe? the wolf asks.
The fox looked at the wolf, was silent for a short while, and then sang:
A glorious thing is a bast-bast shoe.
His skillful craftsman got along.
Pretty for everything:
If you want - measure rye for them,
If you want - slurp them,
If you want, put the kids in it.
And I'll have to wash
He is for you - and the trough! ..
- Yes, - says the wolf, - a good thing! .. It looks small, but the use is great. Give it to me, fox!
- What are you, what are you, wolf! You say too...
- Well then, take a pig for him.
- Piglet? .. Come on, perhaps!
The wolf was delighted, took a bast shoe and was like that. And the fox stepped into the bushes by the road, rummaged through them, rummaged, found an abandoned bast shoe - how many of them are lying along the road? - and went on; chasing a rooster and a pig in front of him ...
A bear comes towards her with luggage - he carries a whole calf.
- Hello, Kuma-fox!
- Hello, grandfather-bear!
- Where are you wandering, where are you driving the living creatures?
- And to my house ... Here I exchanged for bast shoes, but I gave a blunder - I sold too cheap.
- And what is this, godfather, for these bast shoes?
- Yes, nothing special, - the fox answers, - but the use of them is great! ..
And then she shot at the bear with her eyes, and sang affectionately:
My bast shoes
A cunning craftsman got along.
I'm handsome for everything:
If you want - measure rye for them,
If you want - slurp them,
If you want, put the kids in it.
Are you thinking about washing?
He is for you - and the trough!
In vain, perhaps, little bear, they tear them off with my hands in the market?
“We know,” says the bear, “your bast shoe is an interesting thing.” It looks unprepossessing, but look how well-made ... Give it to me, fox!
- I really need it!
- I'll give you a calf for him.
- Yes, in the market I won’t even take a cow for him!
- Well, please, godfather, at least a little to your own.
- So be it, bear, take it ... Well, what should I do with you!
The bear grabbed a bast shoe, like some kind of treasure, ran with him to the village. And there is a temple holiday and a bazaar. They came there with their sandals and a stray dog with a wolf. They walk around the market, calling out:
- Who needs bast shoes, who needs old ones? ..
The last ones left, buy, good people, you won't regret it!
Then their people surrounded and laughed so that they did not know where they were ashamed to go.
They ran to look for the fox, and she was sitting in a forest in a clearing, grazing her herd.
A stray dog, a wolf and a bear began to reproach her, and she said:
- And what about me, good gentlemen, what's the matter? .. What kind of desire did you have to take something that you don’t know? The bast shoes have come in very handy for me, but I don’t know what to do with them, my dears, and I don’t want to know!..
So the animals left her with nothing, and for a long time after that they looked askance at the fox and sharpened their teeth.
K. Chukovsky "Confusion"
Kittens meowed:
“We are tired of meowing!
We want, like pigs,
Grunt!"
And behind them and ducklings:
“We don’t want to quack anymore!
We want, like frogs,
Croak!"
The pigs meowed:
The cats grunted:
Oink oink oink!
The ducks croaked:
Kwa, kwa, kwa!
The hens quacked:
Quack, quack, quack!
Sparrow galloped
And mooed like a cow:
A bear came running
And let's roar:
Ku-ka-re-ku!
And a cuckoo on a bitch:
"I don't want to scream kuku,
I bark the dog
Woof woof woof!"
Only hare
There was a good boy:
Didn't meow
And did not grunt -
Lying under the cabbage
babbled like a hare
And foolish little animals
Persuaded:
"Who is ordered to chirp -
Don't purr!
Who is commanded to purr -
Don't tweet!
Not to be a crow a cow,
Do not fly frogs under the cloud!
But funny animals -
Pigs, bear cubs -
More than ever they are naughty,
The hare does not want to listen.
The fish are walking across the field,
Toads fly across the sky
The mice caught the cat
They put me in a mousetrap.
And the chanterelles
They took the matches
Let's go to the blue sea
The blue sea was lit.
The sea is on fire
A whale ran out of the sea:
"Hey firefighters, run!
Help, help!"
Long, long crocodile
The blue sea extinguished
Pies and pancakes
And dried mushrooms.
Two chickens came running
Watered from a barrel.
Two ruffs sailed
Watered from a bucket.
The frogs came running
Watered from a tub.
Extinguish, extinguish - do not extinguish,
Filled - not flooded.
Here comes the butterfly
Waving wings,
The sea began to fade -
And it went out.
The animals are happy!
Laughed and sang
Ears clapped,
They stomped their feet.
The geese started again
Shout like a goose:
The cats purred:
Mur-mur-mur!
The birds chirped:
Chick-chirp!
The horses neighed:
Flies buzzed:
The frogs are croaking:
Qua-qua-qua!
And the ducklings quack:
Quack-quack-quack!
Piglets grunt:
Oink oink oink!
Murochka is cradled
my dear:
Baiushki bye!
Proper upbringing has a positive effect on the personality of the child and his spiritual qualities. When introducing their baby to the world that exists outside the family, parents should be very careful, as an overabundance of information can overload the child's mind. The presentation of materials should be made as comfortable as possible for the young listener, and in this case, short fairy tales will be an ideal option for learning.
Not only in the old folklore, attention was paid to such stories - modern writers have continued to compose tales about domesticated and wild animals. Their heroes are no longer so unambiguous in terms of their characters, but thanks to this approach, the characters began to turn out to be more vivid, colorful and memorable. The plots of author's works are sometimes deeper than folk narratives.
Read stories about animals
After reading children's fairy tales about animals on the site, the kid realizes that the behavior of animals and birds reflects the very essence of human society. With the help of new knowledge, the child will be able to behave correctly in various life situations. Through the prism of the magical world of fairy tales, boys and girls will better understand the relationships that reign between people.
The stories that tell about the adventures of animals will cause the greatest interest in the child. Through these images, the wisdom of generations, accumulated over a long time, was transmitted from ancient times. Animals, birds or reptiles had special features that were characteristic of their usual behavior. Reading Russian folk tales, you can learn that foxes have always been distinguished by cunning, wolves by cunning, and hares by cowardice.
A woman in a hut sculpts a pie and puts it on the windowsill so that it bakes in the sun, because she and her grandfather do not even have a stove - they live so poorly. A fox and a wolf pass by and steal a pie. The fox secretly eats all the filling, and blames the wolf. He swears he never even touched the pie. Then the fox offers him a test: he must lie down in the sun, and whoever waxes on his body from the heat, he ate the honey filling. The wolf falls asleep, while the fox steals a honeycomb from the apiary, eats it, and sticks wax around the skin of the wolf. This is how the cheat gets her way: the wolf is forced to confess what he did not do, because he does not even remember how and when he ate the filling from the pie. The ashamed wolf promises the fox to give up his share at the first prey.
The fox pretends to be dead, and the men passing by pick it up and throw it on a cart of fish. The cunning fox drops the fish from the cart, collects the prey and tells the hungry wolf how she caught so many fish. He, having obeyed her advice, goes to the river and sticks his tail into the hole. The fox waits until the wolf's tail is completely frozen, runs to the village and calls the people to beat the wolf. He manages to escape by jumping into someone's sleigh, but he is left without a tail. The fox, meanwhile, runs into the hut, smears himself in dough, runs outside the village and lies down on the road. When a wolf passes by, she complains to him: she was beaten so badly that even the brain came out of her bones. The trusting wolf sympathizes with her, and the fox settles into the sleigh. As soon as the wolf goes to the forest to chop wood, the fox eats all the insides of the horse and fills its belly with live sparrows and straw. When the wolf notices that the horse is dead, he himself has to carry the fox in a sleigh, and she slowly says: “The beaten one is carrying the unbeaten one!”
For a lapotok - a chicken, for a chicken - a goose
The fox finds a bast shoe and asks to spend the night in the peasant's house, and asks to put his find in the chicken coop. At night, she secretly throws away the bast shoes, and in the morning, when they cannot find it, she demands a chicken instead. In other houses, in the same way, she gets a goose for a chicken, a lamb for a goose, a bull for a lamb. After skinning her prey, she hides the meat, stuffs the skin of the bull with straw, puts it on the road and asks the bear and the wolf to steal the sled and collar to ride. But the straw goby does not move. The fox jumps out of the sleigh, laughs at the wolf and the bear, and runs away. They pounce on the bull, but there is nothing to profit from.
midwife fox
The wolf and the fox live in a hut near the village. When the men and women go to hay, the wolf steals a glass of butter from the cellar and puts it on a high shelf in the hallway to keep the butter for the holiday until the fox has eaten everything. Then the fox goes to the trick: for three nights in a row she tells the wolf that she is called to be a midwife, and she sneaks into the passage, puts a ladder against the wall and eats butter. The holiday is coming. The wolf and the fox are going to call the guests and prepare a treat. When the loss of oil is discovered, the wolf blames the fox, but the cheat denies everything and puts the blame on the wolf. The fox offers him a test: he must lie next to the melted stove and wait: whoever melts the oil from the belly, he ate it. The wolf falls asleep, and the fox smears his stomach with the remnants of oil. He wakes up, sees that his belly is covered in oil, gets angry with the fox and leaves the house.
Fox, hare and rooster
The fox lives in an ice hut, and the hare lives in a bast one. In the spring, when the fox's hut melts, she asks the hare to warm herself, and she herself kicks him out. He complains about her first to the dogs, then to the bear and the bull. They are trying to drive the fox out of the hare's hut, but she shouts to them from the stove: “As soon as I jump out, as soon as I jump out, shreds will go along the back streets!” The animals run away in fear. Only the rooster is not afraid of the fox, he cuts it with a scythe and remains to live with the bunny.
Fox Confessor
A hungry fox comes to the peasant's yard and climbs to perch. But just as she is about to grab the hen, a rooster crows at the top of her lungs. Out of fear, the fox falls from its perch and hurts badly. The rooster comes to the forest for a walk, and the fox is already waiting for him. She comes up to the tree on which he sits and seduces him with cunning speeches. The cheat reproaches the rooster that, having fifty wives, he has never been to confession. The fox promises to forgive him all his sins if he gets down from the tree and repents of everything to her. The rooster descends and falls into the paws of the fox. The fox is gloating: now she will get even with the rooster, who did not let her profit from the hen when she was hungry! But the rooster promises her to persuade the bishop, who will soon have a feast, so that the fox will be entrusted with baking prosvir, and then they will feast together. The fox, having listened, releases the rooster, and he flies away from her.
Man, bear and fox
A man sows turnips, a bear comes and threatens to kill the man, but the man promises to give him tops of the crop, and agrees to take the roots for himself. Bear agrees. The time comes to dig up turnips, the bear takes the tops for himself, and the peasant collects turnips and takes them to the city to sell. The bear meets him on the road and tries the taste of the roots that the man took for himself. Guessing that he deceived him, the bear threatens to bully the peasant if he decides to go to the forest for firewood. The fox promises to help the peasant and comes up with a trick. The man goes into the woods and cuts wood for himself, while the fox makes a fuss. A bear comes running and asks the man what the noise is. The man replies that the hunters catch wolves and bears. The bear persuades the peasant to put him in a sleigh, throw firewood and tie him up with ropes: then the hunters will not notice him and will pass by. The man agrees and kills the bound bear. The fox comes and wants the man to treat her for helping him get rid of the bear. He calls her to his home, and he sets the dogs on her. The fox manages to hide in a hole and asks her eyes and ears what they were doing when she ran away from the dogs. The eyes say they were watching to make sure she didn't stumble, and the ears say they were listening to see how far the dogs were. The tail says that he only dangled under his feet so that she would get confused and hit the dogs in the teeth. The fox is angry with the tail: she sticks it out of the hole and shouts to the dogs to eat the fox tail, and they pull it out of the hole by the tail and bite it.
Animals in the pit
The old man and the old woman live in poverty, they have only one boar. He goes to the forest to eat acorns and meets a wolf who asks to take him with him. Borov tells him that where he is going, there is a deep hole and the wolf cannot jump over it. But that doesn't care, and he goes after the boar. When they come to the pit, the wolf jumps and falls into it. The same thing happens with the bear, the hare and the fox: they all fall into the pit.
In order not to die of hunger, the fox offers to pull the voice: whoever does not pull out will be eaten. First they eat the hare, then the wolf. The cunning fox does not give the bear its entire share and hides the remaining meat. When the bear runs out of his supply and begins to starve, the treacherous fox teaches him to put his paw in the ribs. He follows her advice, tears his belly and kills him, and the fox eats him. When the bear meat ends, the fox threatens the thrush, which builds a nest on a tree standing above the pit, that he will eat his children if he does not feed her. The thrush feeds and waters the fox, and then helps it to get out of the hole, if only it does not touch its children. The fox demands that he also make her laugh. The thrush flies to the village, sits on the gate and shouts: “Grandma, bring me a piece of lard!” At his cry, dogs jump out and tear the fox apart.
Fox and crane
The fox is friends with the crane and invites him to visit. He comes, and she treats him with semolina, which she spreads on a plate. The crane pecks and pecks, but nothing gets into its beak. So he stays hungry. And the fox eats all the porridge herself and says that there is nothing more to treat. The crane also invites the fox to visit. He prepares okroshka and serves it on the table in a jug with a narrow neck. The fox can’t manage to eat okroshka, because the head can’t fit into the jug! And the crane pecks at the whole okroshka. The fox leaves in annoyance, and their friendship comes to an end.
Cat, ram, rooster and fox
A cat, a ram and a cockerel live together. The cat and the ram leave the house to tear the bast, and the fox gets under the window and sings to lure out the cockerel. He looks out, the fox grabs him and takes him into the forest. The cockerel cries, and the cat and the ram help him out. When they leave again, they warn the cockerel not to look out of the window. But the fox sings so sweetly that the cockerel can't; can't stand it! And again the fox grabs him and takes him into the forest. A cat and a ram come home, see that their cockerel is not there, make a harp and go into the forest to the fox hut. The fox has seven daughters. The cat and the ram play and sing, while the fox sends his daughters to see who plays the harp so nicely. A cat and a ram catch all the fox daughters one by one, and then the fox itself. They put them in a box, go into the hut, pick up their cockerel and return home.
cat and fox
A man takes a mischievous cat into the forest and leaves it there. The cat settles in the hut in which the forester used to live, hunts birds and mice and lives - does not grieve. The fox sees a cat for the first time and is surprised: what a strange animal! The cat tells her that he was sent to them from the Siberian forests by a steward and his name is Kotofey Ivanovich. The fox invites the cat to visit, and soon they become husband and wife. The fox goes out to get supplies and encounters a wolf and a bear. They try to flirt with her, but she says that now she is the steward's wife, Lizaveta Ivanovna. The wolf and the bear ask the fox for permission to look at her husband, and the cunning fox demands that they bring an ox and a ram to bow to him and hide, otherwise it will be bad for them. The wolf and the bear bring a bull and a ram, but they do not dare to approach the fox hole and ask the hare to call the fox and her husband. The bear and the wolf hide so as not to catch their eye: the wolf burrows into dry foliage, and the bear climbs onto a pine tree.
The fox and the cat are coming. The cat greedily tears the carcass of a bull with its teeth and meows. It seems to the bear that the cat is grumbling that it is not enough for him. The wolf tries to look at the cat, rustles the leaves, and the cat thinks it's a mouse: he rushes to the heap of foliage and clings to the wolf's muzzle. He runs away in fear, and the cat, frightened, climbs onto a pine tree on which the bear sits. He falls to the ground, beats off all his livers and starts running, and the fox and the cat rejoice that now they have enough supplies for the whole winter.
Frightened bear and wolves
An old man and an old woman have a cat and a ram. The old woman notices that the cat has got into the habit of eating sour cream in the cellar, and persuades the old man to kill the mischievous cat. The cat manages to eavesdrop on their conversation, and he deceives the ram, telling him that they are both going to be killed. They run away from home and pick up a wolf's head on the way.
Twelve wolves are warming themselves around a fire in the forest. The cat and the ram join them and are about to have dinner. The cat reminds the ram that they have twelve wolf heads with them, and asks him to choose the fatter one from them. The ram takes out a wolf's head from the bushes, which they found along the way, the wolves get scared and, under various pretexts, try to sneak away. And the cat and the ram are glad that they got rid of them! The wolves meet a bear in the forest and tell him about a cat and a ram that ate twelve wolves. The bear and the wolves agree to invite a cat and a ram to dinner to appease them, and send a fox to them. The bear puts a marmot as a cook, and orders one wolf to climb a high stump and guard. But the cat and the ram notice the sentry. The ram runs up and knocks him off the stump, and the cat rushes at the wolf and scratches his whole face. Wolves scatter in fear, a bear climbs a pine tree, a groundhog hides in a hole, and a fox hides under a well.
The cat notices that the groundhog's tail is sticking out of the hole, gets frightened and climbs onto a pine tree. The bear, on the other hand, thinks that the cat has noticed him, and jumps from the tree, almost crushing the fox. They run away together. The fox complains that the bear was badly hurt when he fell from the tree, and he answers her that if he had not jumped from the pine tree, the cat would have eaten him long ago!
wolf and goat
The goat builds a hut in the forest, and her children are born. When she leaves the house, the kids lock themselves up and don't go anywhere. The goat, when it returns, sings a song with its thin voice, and the kids, recognizing the mother's voice, unlock the door for her. The wolf overhears the goat's song, waits until she leaves, and sings in a rough low voice, but the goats do not unlock it and tell their mother about everything. The next time the goat leaves the house, the wolf comes again and sings in a thin voice. The goats unlock the door, thinking that it is their mother, and the wolf eats them all, except for one, who manages to hide in the stove.
The goat returns home, finds only one kid and cries bitterly. A wolf comes, swears to her that he did not touch her children, and calls her to the forest for a walk. In the forest, a goat finds a hole in which the robbers cooked porridge, and sees that the fire in it has not yet gone out. She invites the wolf to jump over the hole, and he falls right into the fire. From the heat, the wolf's belly bursts, and goats jump out of there - alive and unharmed.
fool wolf
The dog lives with the peasant, serves the owner faithfully, but when old age comes, the dog becomes decrepit, and the peasant takes him into the forest, ties him to a tree and abandons him. A wolf comes and is going to take revenge on the dog for all previous insults, but he persuades him not to eat him, because his meat is old and tough: it’s better for the wolf to feed him a little, and when his meat becomes tasty, then let him do it with him anything. The wolf agrees, but when the dog eats off, he rushes at the wolf, and he barely takes his legs.
The wolf, angry that the dog had tricked him so cunningly, prowls in search of prey, meets a goat on the mountain and is about to eat it. But the cunning goat suggests that he not waste his strength, but simply stand under the mountain and open his mouth, and then he will scatter and himself jump into the mouth of the wolf. The wolf agrees, but the goat hits the wolf on the forehead so that he cannot recover for a long time.
At the village, the wolf wants to grab the piglet, but the pig does not let him and says that the piglets have just been born and they need to be washed. They go to the mill, and the pig lures the wolf into the water by cunning, and she goes home with the piglets. A hungry wolf finds carrion near the threshing floor. At night, he comes to the threshing floor, but the hunter, who has been guarding the wolf for a long time, shoots him with a gun, and the wolf comes to an end.
Winter hut of animals
A bull walks through the forest, meets a ram, then a pig, a goose and a rooster and invites them to travel companions - to look for summer from winter. The bull offers to build a hut so that there is a place to live when the cold sets in, but no one wants to help him: the ram excuses himself by saying that he has warm wool, the pig says that he will burrow into the ground and warm himself, and the goose and the rooster are going to climb into spruce forest, lay one wing under you, and cover yourself with the other and winter like that. The bull has to build a house alone.
Winter comes with severe frosts, and everyone asks for a hut, but the bull does not let them in. Then the ram threatens to knock the log out of the wall, the pig - to undermine the pillars, the goose - to pluck the moss from the walls, and the rooster - to rake the earth on the roof. There is nothing to do, the bull lets them all into the hut. The fox hears a rooster sing songs in a warm hut, comes to a bear and a wolf and tells them that she has found prey for them - a bull and a ram.
