A woman took a glass of oil to the city to sell; time something went to maslenoy. Two soldiers are catching up with her: one remains behind, and the other runs ahead and asks the woman:

Hey, aunty, gird me up, please.

The grandmother went to the forest for firewood. Suddenly he hears: in the swamp it crackled, in the forest it knocked - the bear is coming.

Grandma, grandma, I'll eat a filly.

Don't touch the filly, I'll give you a strong man for that.

The bear did not touch the filly.

Here's another time the grandmother went for firewood. There was a crackle in the swamp, a knock in the forest - a bear is coming.

Grandma, grandma, and I'll eat a filly.

Don't eat, I'll give you a caravan for that.

An old grandmother lived in a village. And the village was small, with ten households. And on its very edge stood grandmother's hut. Just as old as grandma.

Found some kind person, put props to the grandmother's hut and overlaid it with a mound. And she stands, not knowing which side to fall on. The grandmother collects wood chips, melts the stove and warms herself by the fire. It is clear that the old man is cold even in summer. If there is something, then he will eat, but if he doesn’t, it will be fine.

And once I passed through that village, sir. He saw a familiar grandmother and was surprised.

I wanted to build a black grouse house.

Thought-thought:

"There is no ax, no blacksmiths - there is no one to forge an ax."

There is no one to build a black grouse house.

“What do I need to start a house? One night went anywhere!”

Bultykh in the snow!

He spent the night in the snow, got up early in the morning, flew around the free world, shouted loudly, very loudly, looked for his comrades. He went down to earth, met with a friend.

How in our village Luka argued with Peter, the water was confused with sand, the daughter-in-law had a big fight with her sister-in-law; at that battle they wounded the porridge-goryukha, the jelly-goryun was completely captivated, they took turnips with carrots, they bowed the cabbage under the sword. But I didn’t get to the fight, I sat on the bench. At that time we lived six brothers - all Agathons, the father was Taras, and mother - I don’t remember what she was called; what about the name? Let there be Malanya. I was born smaller, but big in mind. So people went to plow the land, and we, six brothers, waved our hands. People think: we plow and wave our hands at the horses, but we manage between ourselves. And the priest tied a grain of buckwheat on the whip, waved it once or twice and threw it far away.

TALE ABOUT MOM

One day, the Hare became capricious and said to his mother:

I do not love you!

The Hare-mother was offended and went into the forest.

And in this forest lived two wolf cubs. And they didn't have a mother. It was very bad for them without their mother.

One day the wolf cubs sat under a bush and wept bitterly.

Where can we take mom? - says one Wolf cub. - Well, at least a mother cow!

Or a mother cat! - says the second Wolf.

Or mother frog!

Or mother bunny!

Zaychikha heard these words and says:

Do you want me to be your mom?

The wolves rejoiced. They led new mom to your home. And the house of the wolf cubs is dirty, dirty. Mom Hare tidied up in the house. Then she heated the water, put the wolf cubs in a trough and began to bathe them.

At first, the cubs did not want to bathe. They were afraid that the soap would get into their eyes. And then they really liked it.

Mommy! Mommy! the wolves scream. - Rub your back! More on the head of the fields!

And so the Hare began to live with the cubs.

And the Hare without a mother completely disappears. It's cold without mom. Hungry without mom. It's very, very sad without my mother.

The Hare ran to Masha:

Masha! I offended my mother, and she left me.

Stupid Hare! Masha screamed. -Is it possible? Where will we look for it? Let's go ask the Forest Bird.

Masha and the Hare came running to the Forest Bird.

Forest Bird, have you seen the Hare?

I didn’t see it, - the Forest Bird answers. - But I heard that she lives in the forest with the cubs.

And in the forest there were three wolf houses. Masha and the Hare came running to the first house. We looked out the window. They see:

the house is dirty, dust on the shelves, garbage in the corners.

No, my mother does not live here, - says the Hare. They ran to the second house. We looked out the window. They see: the tablecloth is dirty on the table, the dishes are unwashed.

No, my mom doesn't live here! - says the Hare.

They ran to the third house. They see everything is clean in the house. Wolf cubs are sitting at the table, fluffy, cheerful. There is a white tablecloth on the table. A plate with berries. Frying pan with mushrooms.

That's where my mother lives! - Hare guessed. Masha knocked on the window. Hare looked out the window. The Hare pressed his ears and began to ask his mother:

Mom, come back to live with me ... I won't do it anymore.

The wolves cried:

Mom, don't leave us!

The hare thought. She doesn't know how to be.

Here's how to do it, - said Masha. - One day you will be a hare mother, and the next day - a wolf mother.

So we decided. The Hare began to live one day with the Hare, and the other day with the cubs.

WHEN CAN YOU CRY?
Masha cried in the morning. The Cockerel looked out the window and said:
- Don't cry, Masha! In the morning I sing “ku-ka-re-ku”, and you cry, you prevent me from singing.

Masha cried during the day. Grasshopper climbed out of the grass and says:
- Don't cry, Masha! All day I chirp in the grass, and you cry - and no one hears me.

Masha cried in the evening.
Frogs jumped from the pond.
- Do not Cry. Masha! say the frogs. - We like to croak in the evening, and you interfere with us.

Masha cried at night. The Nightingale flew in from the garden and sat down at the window.
- Don't cry, Masha! At night I sing beautiful songs, and you bother me.
- When should I cry? - asked Masha.
“Don’t you ever cry,” Mom said. - You're a big girl now.

Go to sleep. Adults can make babies go to bed on their own. After all, it’s good to lie down and listen to how mom tells interesting short bedtime stories. You can invent them yourself - there are so many objects around, and each of them can temporarily become a participant in a magical action. Ideas are just in the air. You can invent fantastic characters or endow forest animals and pets with magical powers.

fish

If you have an aquarium, let its inhabitants provide inspiration for new history. Short bedtime stories can be about fish.

Tell your child that when everyone falls asleep, the light turns on in the aquarium - these are the inhabitants of the underwater kingdom who arrange funny dances.

You can start the tale with the fact that a small catfish (or other fish that is in the home aquarium) lived in an aquarium. Catfish was very fond of singing, but the owners of the aquarium did not hear him. The fish diligently opened its mouth to extract beautiful sounds and was very upset that no one praised it for this.

The owners saw that their catfish was sad and thought it was from loneliness. They bought him a girlfriend and planted her when the catfish was sleeping. After he woke up, he began to sing as always, and suddenly he heard someone praising him. He was surprised and saw another fish. Somik was glad that now they hear him, he began to try even harder.

The second individual was female and over time the catfish created a strong family, they had many children. And now, when people fall asleep, the fish begin to sing in their own language and dance merrily. From their joy, the aquarium is filled with light that streams in different directions.

Short bedtime stories can be dedicated not only to fish, but also to forest animals.

Hare with magic ears

When your baby goes to bed, surprise him. Ask if he knows that the magic hare has detachable ears. The beginning of the story will surely interest the child. Tell him if he wants to hear more, let him lie down in his bed. After that you will be able to continue. Short stories told to children at night will help them fall asleep faster and have good dreams.

So, there lived a bunny with magic ears in the forest. He woke up early, went for a walk and sang his cheerful song. This morning the animal, as always, fastened its ears and went for a walk. On the way, he met a hedgehog, they talked and the hare told him about his magic ears, which can hear what will happen the next day. Friends did not know that their conversation was heard by the evil wizard Mukhomor Muhorovich. He was the lord of three foxes and called them. The foxes have arrived. Mukhomor Muhorovich revealed a secret to them, telling them about the wonderful ears of a hare. The magician ordered the foxes to bring him ears.

They asked the forest dwellers where the hare could be found. But no one answered them, since everyone loved a kind animal, but no predators. But the foxes managed to deceive the squirrel. They said it was the hare's birthday and they were bringing him a present. The gullible squirrel showed the way to the foxes.

What happened next

They grabbed the hare and took it to the fly agaric. But he did not reward them, but turned chanterelles into mushrooms. He grabbed the hare by the ears, but he broke free and ran away. And the ears remained with Mukhomor Mukhorovich.

Meanwhile, the little squirrel told the animals that the hare had a birthday. Everyone went to him with gifts, but they found him weeping bitterly. Kosoy told the beasts what happened and how he lost his ears.

The animals found a wise old raven and asked him how to defeat Mukhomor Mukhorovich. He replied that he needed to say 3 times: "Be healthy." They uttered these words in chorus, and the evil wizard immediately turned into a simple fly agaric mushroom. The animals brought the bunny his ears, and everyone began to sing and have fun.

Such short bedtime stories will help the child fall asleep in good mood, and the next evening, too, quickly go to bed to hear another interesting story.

How the sun argued with the moon

One day, towards evening, the moon and the sun met in the sky. The luminary of the day and says to the night one: “Still, people love me more. In winter, they ask me to appear, then everyone’s mood improves. In the spring they look forward to me, they want me to melt the snow faster, bring warmth closer. I give people a golden tan, warm up the seas, rivers, lakes in which people love to swim so much. over the horizon."

The moon listened to the sun for a long time and replied that she had nothing to say to this, and it would be better for her to hide behind the clouds, since people do not need it. So the moon did. Meanwhile, a man was returning to his village. At first he walked joyfully along the road, but when the moon hid behind the clouds, it became dark, he lost his way.

Then he began to ask the moon to appear at least for a little while. She looked out, the man found his way home. Then the moon realized that people needed it too, and therefore tried not to hide behind the clouds, but to light the way for night travelers.

How Bunny Learned to Jump

Once upon a time there was a Bunny who couldn't jump. He, of course, moved, but in a different way, moving his paws like a cat. Because of this, the other rabbits, his brothers and sisters, made fun of him. The bunny was very worried about this and, finally, firmly decided to learn how to jump. One day he got up and walked into the forest, hoping to find someone who would teach him how to jump.

Zainka walked for a long time until he reached the pond. Then he saw the Frog.
- That's who will help me, - Zainka was delighted and ran up to her, - Frog, please teach me how to jump.
- Why not teach? - answered the frog, - Look! You stand on the shore near the water, sharply push off with your hind legs, once, and you are in the pond.
The frog said this and demonstrated how it jumped into the water.
Bunny went to the pond, touched the water with his paw and walked away. He thought that he couldn't swim either. After thinking a little, Zainka quietly slipped away until the frog emerged from his pond. He wandered on.

Suddenly, he saw a Kangaroo. The kid deftly jumped, trying to reach a branch with a bulk apple.
- Hooray, Kangaroo will definitely help me, - said Bunny and ran up to him. - Hello, Kangaroo, teach me how to jump as well as you.
- It's easy - you stand on your hind legs, lean on your tail and jump up - the kangaroo showed how it was and finally got a ripe apple. - Wow, you did it! Now you try!
The bunny stood up on its hind legs and tried to lean on its little tail. But he lost his balance and fell on his back, hitting the ground painfully.
- Oh-oh-oh, - groaned Zainka, - how painful! No, I can't jump like you, I'm sorry.

Bunny wandered on. Suddenly he heard a cheerful song and saw the girl Masha skipping along the path. The girl had a birthday today and she was given a lot of gifts and balloons. That's why Masha was in a great mood, she jumped on one or two legs. She had a beautiful blue ball in her hand.

Girl, - our Bunny dared to turn, - you are so great at jumping, but I don’t know how, teach me, please!
- With pleasure, - agreed Masha.

The girl picked up a sharp twig from the ground and pricked her blue ball. It burst with a deafening bang and echoed throughout the forest. Poor Zainka, hearing this terrible unfamiliar sound, jumped so high! And then he took off running. He ran fast, skipping like a real hare, until he reached the house. The hares began to torment him, where did he learn to jump like that. Finally, the Bunny calmed down, understood and was glad that he still learned to jump.

Since then, he often told this story to his brothers, then to his children, then to his grandchildren. True, since then the hares have become cowardly and have begun to be afraid of everything.
