Children's stories

The boy guarded the sheep and, as if seeing a wolf, began to call:

Help, wolf!.Wolf!

The men come running and see: it's not true. As he did so two and three times, it happened - and a wolf really came running.

The boy began to scream:

Come here, come quick, wolf!

The peasants thought that he was deceiving again, as always, - they did not listen to him.

The wolf sees, there is nothing to be afraid of: in the open he cut the whole herd.

HOW AUNT TOLD ABOUT HOW SHE LEARNED TO SEW

When I was six years old, I asked my mother to let me sew. She said: “You are still small, you will only prick your fingers,” and I kept pestering.

Mother took a red piece of paper from the chest and gave it to me; then she threaded a red thread into the needle and showed me how to hold it.

I began to sew, but could not make even stitches; one stitch came out large, and the other fell to the very edge and broke through. Then I pricked my finger and wanted not to cry, but my mother asked me: “What are you?” I couldn't help but cry. Then my mother told me to go play.

When I went to bed, I kept dreaming of stitches; I kept thinking about how I should learn to sew as soon as possible, and it seemed to me so difficult that I would never learn.

And now I've grown big and I don't remember how I learned to sew; and when I teach my girl to sew, I wonder how she can't hold a needle.

HOW A BOY TOLD ABOUT HOW A STORM FOUND HIM IN THE FOREST

When I was little, they sent me to the forest to pick mushrooms. I reached the forest, picked mushrooms and wanted to go home. Suddenly it became dark, it began to rain and thundered. I got scared and sat down under a big oak tree. Lightning flashed, so bright that it hurt my eyes, and I closed my eyes. Above my head something crackled and thundered; then something hit me in the head. I fell down and lay there until the rain stopped. When I woke up, trees were dripping all over the forest, birds were singing and the sun was playing. The large oak tree was broken and smoke was coming from the stump. All around me lay fragments from the oak. My dress was all wet and stuck to my body; There was a bump on my head and it hurt a little. I found my hat, took the mushrooms and ran home. There was no one at home; I got some bread from the table and climbed onto the stove. When I woke up, I saw from the stove that my mushrooms had been fried, put on the table, and they were already hungry. I shouted: “What are you eating without me?” They say: “Why are you sleeping? Go ahead and eat."

BONE

Mother bought plums and wanted to give them to the children after dinner. They were still on the plate. Vanya never ate plums and kept sniffing them. And he really liked them. I really wanted to eat. He kept walking past the plums. When no one was in the room, he could not resist, grabbed one plum and ate it. Before dinner, the mother counted the plums and saw that one was missing. She told her father.

At dinner, the father says:

And what, children, has anyone eaten one plum?

Everyone said:

Vanya blushed like a cancer, and said too:

No, I didn't eat.

Then the father said:

What any of you have eaten is not good; but that's not the problem. The trouble is that plums have bones, and if someone does not know how to eat them and swallows a stone, he will die in a day. I'm afraid of it.

Vanya turned pale and said:

No, I threw the bone out the window.

And everyone laughed, and Vanya began to cry.

GIRL AND MUSHROOMS

Two girls were walking home with mushrooms.

They had to cross the railroad.

They thought that the car was far away, so they climbed the embankment and went across the rails.

Suddenly a car roared. The older girl ran back, and the younger one ran across the road.

The older girl shouted to her sister:

"Don't go back!"

But the car was so close and made such a loud noise that the smaller girl did not hear; she thought she was being told to run back. She ran back across the tracks, stumbled, dropped the mushrooms and began to pick them up.

The car was already close, and the driver whistled with all his might.

The older girl shouted:

“Drop the mushrooms!” and the little girl thought she was being told to pick the mushrooms and crawled along the road.

The driver could not keep the car. She whistled with all her might and ran over the girl.

The older girl was screaming and crying. All the passers-by looked out of the windows of the carriages, and the conductor ran to the end of the train to see what had become of the girl.

When the train passed, everyone saw that the girl was lying head down between the rails and was not moving.

Then, when the train had already gone far, the girl raised her head, jumped to her knees, picked mushrooms and ran to her sister.

HOW A BOY TOLD ABOUT HOW HE FOUND QUEEN BEE TO GRANDFATHER

My grandfather lived in a bee garden in the summer. When I visited him, he gave me honey.

Once I came to the bee-keeper and began to walk between the hives. I was not afraid of bees, because my grandfather taught me to walk quietly around the forest.

And the bees got used to me and did not bite. In one hive, I heard something quacking.

I came to my grandfather in the hut and told him.

He went with me, listened to me and said:

One swarm has already flown out of this hive, a pervak, with an old queen; and now the young queens have hatched. This is what they scream. They will fly out tomorrow with another swarm.

I asked my grandfather:

What are the uterus?

He said:

Come tomorrow; God willing, it will open up - I'll show you and give you honey.

When I came to my grandfather the next day, he had two closed swarms with bees hanging in his hallway. Grandfather told me to put on a net and tied it around my neck with a scarf; then he took one closed swarm with bees and carried it to the bee-keeper. The bees hummed in it. I was afraid of them and hid my hands in my trousers; but I wanted to see the uterus, and I followed my grandfather.

At the osek, grandfather went up to an empty log, adjusted the trough, opened the swarm and shook the bees out of it onto the trough. The bees crawled along the trough into the deck and trumpeted, and the grandfather stirred them with a broom.

And here is the mother! - Grandfather pointed to me with a broom, and I saw a long bee with short wings. She crawled with the others and disappeared.

Then my grandfather removed the net from me and went to the hut. There he gave me a large piece of honey, I ate it and smeared my cheeks and hands.

When I got home, my mother said:

Again, you, prankster, grandfather fed you with honey.

And I said:

He gave me honey because yesterday I found him a hive with young queens, and today we planted a swarm with him.

In the harvest, the men and women went to work. Only the old and the young remained in the village. A grandmother and three grandchildren remained in one hut. Grandmother fired up the stove and lay down to rest. Flies landed on her and bit her. She covered her head with a towel and fell asleep.

One of the granddaughters, Masha (she was three years old), opened the stove, heated coals into a crock and went into the hallway. And in the passage lay sheaves. The women prepared these sheaves for the tie. Masha brought coals, put them under the sheaves and began to blow. When the straw began to catch fire, she was delighted, went to the hut and led her brother, Kiryushka, by the hand (he was a year and a half, he had just learned to walk), and said:

Look, Kilyuska, what a stove I have blown up.

Sheaves were already burning and crackling. When the passage was covered with smoke, Masha got frightened and ran back to the hut. Kiryushka fell on the threshold, bruised his nose and wept. Masha dragged him into the hut, and they both hid under a bench. Grandmother heard nothing and slept.

The eldest boy, Vanya (he was eight years old), was on the street. When he saw that smoke was pouring out of the passage, he ran through the door, slipped through the smoke into the hut and began to wake up his grandmother; but the grandmother went dazed and forgot about the children, jumped out and ran through the yards after the people. Masha, meanwhile, sat under the bench and was silent; only the little boy was screaming because he had hurt his nose. Vanya heard his cry, looked under the bench and shouted to Masha:

Run, you'll burn!

Masha ran into the passage, but it was impossible to get through because of the smoke and the fire. She came back. Then Vanya raised the window and ordered her to climb in.

When she climbed through, Vanya grabbed his brother and dragged him. But the boy was heavy and was not given to his brother. He cried and pushed Vanya. Vanya fell twice while dragging him to the window: the door in the hut had already caught fire. Vanya stuck the boy's head out the window and wanted to push it through; but the boy (he was very frightened) grabbed hold of his little hands and did not let them go. Then Vanya shouted to Masha:

Get him by the head! - and he pushed from behind.

In the book, the tales have not yet been divided into cycles: "Mermaid Tales" and "Magpie Tales". This division was made in 1923 in the Love spell collection.

"The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio"- a fairy tale story by Alexei Nikolayevich Tolstoy, based on the fairy tale by Carlo Collodi “The Adventures of Pinocchio. The history of the wooden doll.

The idea of publishing folklore came from Tolstoy in Leningrad in a conversation with “local folklorists” (PSS, 13, p. 243), and the fairy tale books were part of the extensive “Code of Russian Folklore” that was conceived. The "Code", according to the writer's intention, was to include all the redactions and types of oral creativity of the Russian people. The folklorist writer A.N. Nechaev testifies: “The whole winter of 1937/1938 was spent on preliminary preparation” of the “Svod” plan (A.N. Nechaev, N.V. Rybakova, A.N. Tolstoy and a Russian folk tale. - Appendix to the PSS, 13, p. 334). It was necessary to collect all the accumulated folklore funds "in the form of a multi-volume edition" (PSS, 13, p. 243). The writer attached high social significance and meaning to the work on the “Code”: “The publication of the “Code of Russian Folklore” will not only be a valuable artistic contribution to world literature, but it is of great political importance, as it reflects the rich spiritual culture of the Russian people and the country to which the eyes of the whole world are fixed” (PSS, 13, p. 244).

Prominent folklorists of the 1930s, M. K. Azadovsky, Yu. During the discussion, the idea was clarified and expanded: it was supposed to publish not only the Code of Russian Folklore, but also the Code of Folklore of the Peoples of the USSR. The past meetings in the institutions of the USSR Academy of Sciences, reflected in the relevant documents and transcripts, are covered in the articles: Yu. A. Krestinsky. Unfinished plans of A. N. Tolstoy - academician ("Questions of Literature", 1974, No. 1, pp. 313–317); A. A. Gorelov. A. N. Tolstoy and Code of Russian Folklore. (In the book: “From the history of Russian Soviet folklore”. L., “Nauka”, 1981, pp. 3–6.)

The war that began in 1941 and the death of the writer interrupted work on the Code, part of which was the preparation of the Complete Code of Russian Fairy Tales. Of the five conceived books of fairy tales, A. N. Tolstoy managed to publish the first book as part of 51 fairy tales - all the so-called "tales about animals." The writer began work on the second book - "fairy tales" - prepared for printing 6 texts and a "saying" (published in 1944). Until 1953, 5 fairy tales remained unpublished in the writer's archive, which were included in the Collected Works (PSS, 15, pp. 303–320). And despite the incompleteness of the whole plan, the publication of folk tales prepared for publication by Tolstoy became a significant event in Soviet literature and folklore. The publication of the first book was carried out in 1940: “Russian Tales”, vol. I, M.-L., with a preface by A. Tolstoy, “Magic Tales”, prepared by the writer for publication, saw the light in the publication: “Russian Folk Tales in processed by A. Tolstoy”. Drawings by I. Kuznetsov. M.-L., Detgiz, 1944 (School library. For elementary school).

In his work on fairy tales, Tolstoy implemented a special principle of creative editing, which is fundamentally different from the literary "retelling" of an oral text. In the preface to the book of fairy tales (1940), Tolstoy wrote about this: “There were many attempts to remake Russian folk tales ... The compilers of such collections usually took up the processing of fairy tales, and retold them not in the folk language, not in folk techniques, but “literally”, that is, conditional, bookish language, which has nothing in common with the people. The tales retold in this way, according to the writer, “lost all meaning”: “... folk language, wit, freshness, originality, this was some incomplete work on their text. In particular, this becomes obvious when comparing Tolstoy's text "The Fox drowns the jug" with the source - Smirnov's version No. 29a. Although the tale is stylistically corrected compared to the source, the writer wanted to avoid a simple retelling of the plot where a lively depiction of the action was required. So, for example, in Smirnov’s version it says: “Once a fox came to the village and somehow ended up in one house, where, taking advantage of the absence of the hostess, she found a jug of oil.” Tolstoy eliminated superfluous words, bookish gerunds (highlighted in italics), but intonationally the phrase remained heavy. The writer offered his own version of the text, only after carefully reviewing all the available folk options. Judging by the archive, the writer did not have other versions of the tale. The publication of fairy tales found in the archive characterizes the process of the writer's careful work on the text of fairy tales and is interesting for that.

Fairy tales for children by Alexei Nikolayevich Tolstoy are short fairy tales and fairy tales about animals. Tolstoy's tales occupy a special place among all the tales of Russian authors.

Read Tolstoy's Tales

The rare talent of Alexei Nikolaevich consisted in the ability to remake folk tales in such a way as to arouse the interest of a small listener and not lose the ideological richness of Russian folk art. Such a collection of Tolstoy was called Magpie's Tales and in addition to it, in order to fully acquaint you with the author's work, we place his best creation in our opinion - the Golden Key or the adventures of Pinocchio. You can read Tolstoy's fairy tales starting from this wonderful work.

Tolstoy's tales occupy a special place among all the tales of Russian authors. Each character of Tolstoy is a separate characteristic character, there are eccentricities and non-standard vision, which are always described delightfully! The Forty Tales of Tolstoy, although in essence they are a reworking of other fairy tales, and not his own invention, but the writing talent, language turns and the use of old words put Tolstoy's Magpie Tales in a number of cultural heritage.
