Krylov's fable for reading by roles. Krylov's short fables

Fable "Cuckoo and Eagle"

The eagle granted the Cuckoo to the Nightingales.

Cuckoo, in a new rank,

Seated importantly on an aspen,

Talents in music

Started to speak;

Looks - everyone is flying away,

Some laugh at her, and those scold her.

My Cuckoo was upset

And with a complaint about the birds, she hurries to the Eagle.

“Have mercy! - says, - at your command

I am called Nightingale in the forest here;

And they dare to laugh at my stump! —

"My friend! - The eagle answered, - I am a king, but I am not a god

I can't save you from your misfortune.

I could force the cuckoo to be honored by the Nightingale;

But I couldn’t make the Cuckoo the Nightingale.”

Fable "Two Dogs"

Yard, faithful dog

Who diligently carried the lordly service,

I saw my old friend

Buzzing, curly lapdog,

On a soft down pillow, on the window.

Flattering to her, as if to relatives,

He, with tenderness, almost cries,

And under the window

Screams, wags its tail

And he jumps.

“Well, Zhuzhutka, how do you live

Since the gentlemen took you to the mansions?

After all, remember: in the yard we often went hungry.

What service are you doing?" —

“For happiness, it’s a sin to grumble,” Zhuzhutka replies, “

My master has no soul in me;

I live in contentment and kindness,

And I eat and drink on silver;

I frolic with the master; and if I get tired

I roll on carpets and a soft sofa.

How do you live? - "I," replied Barbos,

Lowering the tail with a whip and hanging your nose, -

I live as before: I endure the cold,

And, saving the master's house,

Here, under the fence, I sleep and get wet in the rain;

And if I bark inappropriately,

I accept beatings.

But why are you, Zhuzhu, in the case got,

Being powerless and small

Meanwhile, as I tear from the skin in vain?

What are you serving?" “What are you serving?

That's great! —

Juju answered with a sneer. —

I walk on my hind legs."

__________________________

How many find happiness

Only the fact that they walk well on their hind legs!

Fable "Convoy"

With the pots came the convoy,

And it is necessary to go down from a steep mountain.

Here, on the mountain, leaving others to wait,

The owner began to lightly roll the first cart.

The good horse on the sacrum almost carried him,

Not letting the cart roll;

And the horse on top, young,

Scolds the poor horse for every step:

“Ay, the vaunted horse, what a marvel!

Look: it is molded like a cancer;

Here I almost got caught on a stone; askew! crooked!

Bolder! Here is the push again.

And then to the left only to accept.

What a donkey! Good would be uphill

Or at night,

And then downhill, and during the day!

Look, you'll run out of patience!

I would carry water, if you don’t have the skill!

Look at us, how we wave!

Don't be afraid, we won't waste a minute

And we won’t bring our cart, but we’ll roll it!”

Here, arching the spine and straining the chest,

The horse with the cart set off;

But only downhill she rolled over,

The wagon began to push, the cart rolled away;

He pushes the horse back, throws the horse sideways;

The horse set off on all four legs

For glory;

Tremors went over the stones, potholes,

Left, left, and with a cart - bang into the ditch!

Farewell, master's pots!

As in people, many have the same weakness:

Everything seems to be a mistake to us in another;

And you will take care of the matter yourself,

So you will do twice as bad.

Fable "Trishkin caftan"

Trishka's caftan was torn on his elbows.

What's the point of thinking here? He took up the needle:

Cut off the sleeves in quarters

And he paid elbows. The caftan is ready again;

Only a quarter naked hands become.

What about this sadness?

However, everyone laughs at Trishka,

And Trishka says: “So I'm not a fool

And I'll fix that problem:

Longer than before, I will set the sleeves.

Oh, little Trishka is not simple!

He cut the tails and the floors,

He put up his sleeves, and my Trishka is cheerful,

Although he wears such a caftan,

Which is longer and camisoles.

_________________

In the same way, I saw sometimes

other gentlemen,

Having confused matters, they are corrected,

Look: they are flaunting in Trishkin's caftan.

Fairy tales "Lion and Mouse"

The Lion asked the Mouse humbly for permission

Near him in the hollow to start a village

And so she said: “Although de here, in the forests,

You are both mighty and glorious;

Although no one is equal in strength to Leo,

And his roar alone inspires fear in everyone,

But who will guess the future -

How to know? who will need whom?

And no matter how small I seem

And maybe sometimes I’ll come in handy for you. ” —

"You! Lev screamed. "You pitiful creature!"

For those bold words

You deserve death as a punishment.

Away, away from here, while alive -

Or yours will not be ashes.

Here the poor Mouse, not remembering from fear,

With all her feet, she caught a cold and a trace.

Leo was not in vain, however, this pride:

Going to look for prey for dinner,

He got caught in the net.

Useless strength in it, in vain roar and moan,

No matter how he rushed, or rushed about,

But everything remained the prey of the hunter,

And he was taken away in a cage for show to the people.

He remembered the poor Mouse here late,

In order to help him, she could

That the net would not have survived from her teeth

And that his own arrogance ate him.

Reader, loving the truth,

I will add to the fable, and then not from myself -

Not in vain the people say:

Don't spit in the well, it will come in handy

Drink water.

Fable "Donkey and Man"

Man, for the summer in the garden

Having hired the Donkey, he assigned

Ravens and sparrows drive a sassy kind.

The donkey had the most honest rules:

Neither with predation, nor with theft is not familiar,

He did not profit from the master's leaf

And the birds, it's a sin to say that he gave a prank;

But the profit from the garden was bad for the Muzhik.

Donkey, chasing birds, from all donkey legs,

On all ridges and along and across

Raised such a leap

That in the garden he crushed and trampled everything.

Seeing here that his work was gone,

Peasant on the back of a donkey

He avenged the loss with a club.

“And nothing! - everyone shouts - the cattle deserve it!

With his mind

Take on this business?"

_______________________

And I will say, not in order to intercede for the Donkey;

He, for sure, is to blame (a calculation has been made with him),

But it seems that he is not right,

Who instructed the Donkey to guard his garden.

Fable "Lion and Fox"

Fox, not seeing Leo's kind,

Having met him, with passions she remained a little alive.

Here, a little later, she again caught a lion,

But it didn't look so scary to her.

And the third time then the Fox started talking with the Lion.

We are also afraid of something else

As long as we look at him.

Fable "Wolf and Crane"

That wolves are greedy, everyone knows:

Wolf, eat, never

Doesn't understand bones.

For that, one of them got in trouble:

He nearly choked on a bone.

The Wolf cannot gasp or breathe;

It's time to stretch your legs!

Fortunately, the Crane happened to be close here.

Somehow, the Wolf began to beckon him with signs

And asks grief to help.

Crane your nose up to your neck

I put it in the Wolf's mouth and with more difficulty

He pulled out the bone and began to ask for labor.

"Are you kidding! - the beast cried out insidious, -

For your work? Oh you ungrateful!

And it's nothing that you're your long nose

And with a stupid head from his throat he took the whole!

Come on, buddy, get out

But beware: you don’t come across to me ahead.

Fable "Lion and Man"

Being strong is good, being smart is twice as good.

Who does not believe this

That clear example will find here,

That power without mind is a bad treasure.

_________________

Spreading the net between the trees,

The prey catcher was waiting:

But somehow, having blundered, he himself fell into the clutches of the Lion.

"Die, you despicable creature! roared the ferocious Lion,

Opening your jaws at him. —

Let's see where your rights are, where is strength, firmness,

By which are you in your vanity

All creatures, even the Lion, boast of being a king?

And in my claws we will disassemble,

Is such pride commensurate with your strength!” —

“Not strength - reason gives us the upper hand over you, -

Was the Lion Man's answer. —

And I dare to boast

That with skill I will overcome that obstacle,

From whom and with force, maybe

You will have to retreat." —

"I'm tired of hearing about your boasting." —

“Not in fairy tales, I can prove it by deed;

And yet, if I'm lying,

Then you can still eat me after.

Look: between these trees

my labors

Spread you see the web.

Which one of us will get through it better?

If you want, I'll crawl ahead:

And then we'll see how and with strength in turn

You will jump halfway to me.

You see, this net is not a stone wall;

She sways with the slightest breeze;

However, with the power of one

You can hardly walk right through it after me

With contempt for the snare surveying,

"Go there," said the Lion haughtily,

In a moment I will be a straight road to you.

Here is my catcher, without wasting words,

I dived under the net and I'm ready to accept the Lion.

Like an arrow from a bow, the Lion set off after him;

But Leo did not learn to dive under the net:

He hit the net, but did not break through the net -

Confused (the catcher here ended the dispute and the case) -

Art conquered the force

And poor Leo died.

Fable "Hare on the hunt"

Big gathering in a crowd,

Animals caught the bear;

Crushed on an open field -

And share among themselves

Who gets what.

And the Hare immediately pulls the bear's ear.

“Ba, you, oblique, -

Shouting to him, - bestowed a breakaway?

No one saw you fishing." —

We love to read Krylov's fables since childhood. Krylov's images are stored in memory, which often pop up in our heads in various life situations, we turn to them and each time we never cease to be surprised at Krylov's insight.

It happens that you remember the Pug who barks at the Elephant to give the impression of being brave and fearless, or suddenly the Monkey pops up in front of your eyes, which mocked itself, not recognizing the reflection in the Mirror. Laughter, and more! And how often there are meetings that are involuntarily compared with the Monkey, who, out of her own ignorance, not knowing the value of Points, broke them against a stone. Krylov's little fables are short in size, but not in meaning, because the Krylov word is sharp, and the morals of the fables have long turned into idioms. Krylov's fables accompany us through life, become related to us and at any time they will find understanding in us and help us re-realize values.

Krylov is a famous writer. Of all the children's poems and fables, Krylov's works are always the very best, they cut into memory and emerge during life when they meet with human vices. It is often said that, they say, Krylov did not write for children, but is the meaning of his fables not clear to children? Morality is usually clearly written, so even the smallest child can read Krylov's fables with benefit.

On our website we place the most the best works the author in the original presentation, as well as separately single out morality for convenience and better memorization of sometimes philosophical thoughts. Both a child and an adult will find a lot of meaning in these little life stories in which animals symbolize people, their vices and ridiculous behavior. Krylov's fables online are remarkable in that they contain not only text, but also a remarkable picture, easy navigation, informative facts and reasoning. After reading, the author will surely become your favorite, and his life essays in the form humorous fables will be remembered for years to come.

The fabulist led an absolutely open life, talked a lot, printed books one after another and did not at all shy away from his obesity and laziness. The oddities that happened to Krylov were expressed by him in instructive scenes, the simplicity of which is deceptive. He was not a fabulist, he was a thinker-philosopher, capable of comically describing the shortcomings of people in a stunning form accessible only to him with childish unobtrusiveness and ease. No need to look for satire in Krylov's fables, their value does not end there. The content and meaning is philosophical rather than humorous. In addition to human vices, the truths of being, the foundations of behavior and relationships between people are presented in an easy form. Each fable is a combination of wisdom, morality and humor.

Start reading Krylov's fables to your child from an early age. They will show him what to watch out for in life, what behavior others condemn and what they can encourage. The laws of life according to Krylov are natural and wise, he despises artificiality and self-interest. Morality, cleansed of any impurities and trends, is understandable and concise, contains a division between right and wrong. The remarkable manner of writing has led to the fact that every morality has become proverb or a funny aphorism. The works are written in such a language that, although they look like literary forms, they actually carry the intonations and mockery inherent only in the great folk mind. Krylov's little fables changed the general view of this genre. Innovation manifested itself in realism, a philosophical note and worldly wisdom. Fables have become small novels, sometimes dramas, in which the accumulated wisdom and cunning of the mind manifested itself over the centuries. It is remarkable that with all this, the author did not turn the fable into a satirical poem, but managed to preserve a deep meaningful part, consisting of short story and morality.

Krylov's fable penetrated the essence of things, the characters' characters and became a genre that was practically unattainable by other authors. Despite the satire, the fabulist loved life in all its manifestations, only he would very much like simple and natural truths to finally replace low passions. The fable genre under his pen has become so high and refined that, after re-reading the fables of other authors, you will understand that there is no other like it, and it is unlikely to be.

In the section of Krylov's fables online, we invite you to get acquainted with folk wisdom. Short philosophical works will not leave indifferent neither children nor adults.

Ivan Krylov's fable "The Crow and the Fox"

How many times have they told the world

That flattery is vile, harmful; but it's not all right,

And in the heart the flatterer will always find a corner.

Somewhere a god sent a piece of cheese to a crow;

Crow perched on the spruce,

I was quite ready to have breakfast,

Yes, I thought about it, but I kept the cheese in my mouth.

The Fox ran close to that misfortune;

Suddenly the cheese spirit stopped Lisa

The fox sees the cheese, the fox is captivated by the cheese.

The cheat approaches the tree on tiptoe;

He wags his tail, does not take his eyes off the Crow

And he says so sweetly, breathing a little:

"Darling, how pretty!

Well, what a neck, what eyes!

To tell, so, right, fairy tales!

What feathers! what a sock!

Sing, little one, don't be ashamed! What if, sister,

With such beauty, you are a master of singing, -

After all, you would be our king-bird!

Veshunin's head was spinning with praise,

From joy in the goiter breath stole, -

And to Lisitsy's friendly words

The crow croaked at the top of its crow's throat:

The cheese fell out - there was such a cheat with it.

Ivan Krylov's fable "The Fox and the Grapes"

Hungry godmother Fox climbed into the garden;

In it, the grapes were reddened.

The gossip's eyes and teeth flared up;

And brushes juicy, like yachts, burn;

Only trouble is, they hang high:

Whence and how she comes to them,

Though the eye sees

Yes, the tooth is numb.

Breaking through the whole hour in vain,

She went and said with annoyance: “Well, well!

Looks like he's good

Yes, green - no ripe berries:

You will immediately set the teeth on edge."

Ivan Krylov's fable "Monkey and Glasses"

The monkey has become weak in his eyes in old age;

And she heard people

That this evil is not yet so big:

You just need to get glasses.

She got half a dozen glasses for herself;

Twirls his glasses this way and that:

Now he will press them to the crown, then he will string them on the tail,

Now he sniffs them, then he licks them;

The glasses don't work at all.

"Ugh, abyss! - she says, - and that fool,

Who listens to all human lies:

Everything about Points was just lied to me;

And there is no use for a hair in them.

The monkey is here with annoyance and sadness

O stone so sufficed them,

That only the spray sparkled.

Unfortunately, the same thing happens to people:

No matter how useful a thing is, without knowing its price,

The ignoramus about her tends to get worse;

And if the ignorant is more knowledgeable,

So he keeps pushing her.

Ivan Krylov's fable "Dragonfly and Ant"

Jumper Dragonfly

Summer sang red;

Didn't have time to look back

As winter rolls in the eyes.

The field is dead;

There are no more bright days,

As under each leaf

Both the table and the house were ready.

Everything went with the cold winter.

Need, hunger comes;

The dragonfly no longer sings:

And who will come to mind

On the stomach to sing hungry!

Evil melancholy dejected,

She crawls to the Ant:

"Don't leave me, dear godfather!

Give me the strength to gather

And until spring only days

Feed and warm!" —

“Gossip, this is strange to me:

Did you work during the summer? —

Ant tells her.

“Before that, my dear, was it?

In soft ants we have

Songs, playfulness every hour,

So it made my head spin." —

“Ah, so you ...” - “I am without a soul

The whole summer she sang. —

"Did you sing along? this business:

So come on, dance!”

Ivan Krylov's fable "Quartet"

naughty monkey,

Yes, clubfoot Mishka

They decided to play a quartet.

Got notes, bass, viola, two violins

And sat down on the meadow under the lindens, -

Captivate the world with your art.

They hit the bows, they tear, but there is no sense.

“Stop, brothers, stop! Monkey screams. —

Wait!

How does the music go? You don't sit like that.

You are with the bass, Mishenka, sit down against the viola,

I, prima, will sit against the second;

Then the music will go wrong:

We will dance the forest and mountains!”

They sat down, began the Quartet;

He still doesn't fit.

“Wait, I found the secret! —

Donkey screams - we'll probably get along,

Let's sit next to each other."

They obeyed the Donkey: they sat down decorously in a row;

And yet the Quartet is not going well.

Here, more than ever, their analysis went

Who and how to sit.

It happened to the Nightingale to fly to their noise.

Here with a request all to him, to solve their doubts.

“Perhaps,” they say, “take patience for an hour,

To put our Quartet in order:

And we have notes, and we have instruments,

Just tell us how to sit down! —

“To be a musician, you need the ability

And your ears are softer, -

The Nightingale answers them, -

And you, friends, no matter how you sit down;

You're not good at being musicians."

Ivan Krylov's fable "The Wolf and the Lamb"

With the strong, the weak is always to blame:

That is why we hear a lot of examples in History,

But we do not write stories;

But about how they talk in Fables.

_______________________

A lamb on a hot day went to the stream to get drunk;

And it's gotta be bad luck

That near those places a hungry wolf roamed.

He sees the lamb, he strives for prey;

But, to give the case a legitimate look and sense,

Screaming: "How dare you, insolent, with an unclean snout

Here is a clean muddy drink

With sand and silt?

For such audacity

I'll rip your head off." —

“When the brightest Wolf allows,

I dare to convey that down the stream

From the Lordship of his steps I drink a hundred;

And in vain he will deign to be angry:

I can’t stir up a drink for him.” —

"That's why I'm lying!

Waste! Have you ever heard such insolence in the world!

Yes, I remember that you are still in last summer

I was somehow rude here;

I haven't forgotten that, buddy! —

"Have mercy, I'm not even a year old yet,"

The lamb speaks. "So it was your brother." —

"I have no brothers." - “So this is kum il matchmaker

And, in a word, someone from your own family.

You yourself, your dogs and your shepherds,

You all want me bad

And if you can, then always harm me,

But I will reconcile with you for their sins. —

"Oh, what am I to blame?" - "Shut up! I'm tired of listening

Leisure time for me to sort out your guilt, puppy!

It's your fault that I want to eat."

Said - ive dark forest Lamb dragged.

Ivan Krylov's fable "Wolf in the kennel"

The wolf at night, thinking to climb into the sheepfold,

Went to the kennel.

Suddenly the whole kennel rose up.

Feeling the gray so close to the bully,

The dogs are flooded in the stables and are eager to fight;

Houndsmen shout: “Oh, guys, thief!” —

And in a moment the gate is locked;

In a minute, the kennel became hell.

They run: another with a dub,

Another with a gun.

"Fire! - shout, - fire! They came with fire.

My Wolf is sitting, huddled in a corner with his back,

Clicking teeth and bristling wool,

With his eyes, it seems that he would like to eat everyone;

But, seeing what is not in front of the herd,

And what comes at last

Him to comb for the sheep, -

My trickster has gone

In negotiations

And he began like this: “Friends! Why all this noise?

I, your old matchmaker and godfather,

I came to put up with you, not at all for the sake of a quarrel;

Let's forget the past, set a common mood!

And I will not only continue not to touch the local herds,

But he himself is happy to squabble for them with others

And with a wolf's oath I affirm

What am I ... " - "Listen, neighbor, -

Here the hunter interrupted in response, -

You are gray, and I, buddy, are gray,

And I have long known your wolf nature;

That is why my custom is:

With wolves, otherwise do not make the world,

Like skinning them off.”

And then he released a flock of hounds on the Wolf.

Ivan Krylov's fable "Swan, Pike and Cancer"

When there is no agreement among comrades,

Their business will not go well,

And nothing will come out of it, only flour.

____________________________

Once a Swan, Cancer and Pike

Carried with luggage, they took it,

And together the three all harnessed themselves to it;

They are climbing out of their skin, but the cart is still not moving!

The luggage would have seemed easy for them:

Yes, the Swan breaks into the clouds,

Cancer moves back, and Pike pulls into the water.

Who is to blame among them, who is right, is not for us to judge;

Yes, only things are still there.

Ivan Krylov's fable "The Cat and the Cook"

Some Chef, literate,

He ran from the kitchen

In a tavern (he was pious rules

And on this day, according to the godfather, the triznu ruled),

And at home, guard food from mice

Left the cat.

But what does he see when he returns? On the floor

Pie scraps; and Vaska the Cat is in the corner,

Falling down behind the vinegar barrel,

Purring and grumbling, he is working on the chicken.

"Oh, you glutton! ah villain! —

Here the cook reproaches Vaska, -

Aren't you ashamed of the walls, not only of people?

(But Vaska still cleans up the chicken.)

How! been an honest cat until now,

Sometimes, for an example of humility they say, -

And you... wow, what a shame!

Now all the neighbors will say:

“Cat Vaska is a rogue! Cat Vaska is a thief!

And Vasku-de, not only in the kitchen,

It is not necessary to let it into the yard,

Like a greedy wolf in a sheepfold:

He is a corruption, he is a plague, he is an ulcer of these places!

(And Vaska listens and eats.)

Here my rhetorician, giving free rein to the flow of words,

Did not find the end of moralizing.

But what? While he sang it

Cat Vaska ate everything hot.

And I would cook differently

He ordered to hack on the wall:

So as not to waste speeches there,

Where to use the power.

Ivan Krylov's fable "Chizh and Dove"

Chizha was slammed by the villainess-trap:

The poor thing in it was torn and rushed about,

And the young Dove mocked him.

“Aren't you ashamed,” he says, “in broad daylight

Wouldn't have taken me like this:

For this I vouch boldly.”

An, look, he immediately got himself entangled in a snare.

Do not laugh at someone else's misfortune, Dove.

Ivan Krylov's fable "Elephant and Pug"

They drove the elephant through the streets,

As you can see -

It is known that Elephants are a curiosity with us -

So crowds of onlookers followed the Elephant.

No matter how you take it, meet Moska them.

Seeing the Elephant, well, rush at him,

And bark, and squeal, and tear,

Well, just get into a fight with him.

"Neighbour, stop being ashamed, -

The mongrel says to her, “Do you have to mess with the Elephant?”

Look, you are already wheezing, and he goes to himself

And your barking does not notice at all.

“Eh, eh! - Moska answers her, -

That's what gives me the spirit,

What am I, without a fight at all,

I can get into big trouble.

Let the dogs say

"Hey Moska! know she's strong

What barks at the Elephant!

Ivan Krylov's fable "Mouse and Rat"

“Neighbour, have you heard the good word? —

Running in, the Mouse said to the Rat, -

After all, the cat, they say, fell into the claws of a lion?

Now it’s time for us to relax!” —

"Do not rejoice, my light, -

The Rat says to her, -

And do not hope in empty!

If it reaches their claws,

That's right, the lion will not be alive:

There is no beast stronger than a cat!

How many times have I seen, take it for yourself:

When a coward is afraid of whom,

That thinks that

The whole world looks through his eyes.

Ivan Krylov's fable "Demyan's ear"

“Neighbor, my light!

Please eat." —

"Neighbor, I'm fed up." - "There is no need

Another plate; Listen:

Ushitsa, she-she-she, cooked to glory! —

"I ate three plates." - “And, full, what for the scores:

If only it would become a hunt,

And then in health: eat to the bottom!

What an ear! Yes, how fat

As if she twitched with amber.

Have fun, little friend!

Here is a bream, offal, here is a piece of sterlet!

Just one more spoon! Bow down, wife!" —

This is how neighbor Demyan regaled neighbor Foka

And gave him neither rest nor time;

And sweat had been rolling down from Foka for a long time.

However, he still takes a plate:

Gathering with the last strength

And it cleans everything. “Here is a friend I love! —

Demyan screamed. “But I can’t stand arrogant people.

Well, eat another plate, my dear!

Here is my poor Foka,

No matter how much he loved the ear, but from such a misfortune,

Grabbing in an armful

Sash and hat

Hurry home without memory -

And from that time on, not a foot to Demyan.

_______________________

Writer, happy are you, since you have a direct gift;

But if you don't know how to be silent in time

And you do not spare your neighbor's ears,

Then know that your prose and poetry

All Demyanova's soup will be more nauseating.

Ivan Krylov's fable "The Mirror and the Monkey"

Monkey, in the Mirror seeing his image,

Quietly Bear's foot:

“Look,” he says, “my dear godfather!

What kind of a face is that?

What antics and jumps she has!

I would choke myself with longing,

If only she looked a little like her.

But, admit it, there is

Of my gossips, there are five or six such wimps:

I can even count them on my fingers. —

Isn't it better to turn on yourself, godfather? —

Mishka answered her.

But Mishen'kin's advice just disappeared in vain.

_____________________

There are many such examples in the world:

Nobody likes to recognize himself in satire.

I even saw this yesterday:

That Klimych is unclean at hand, everyone knows this;

They read about bribes to Klimych,

And he furtively nods at Peter.

Ivan Krylov's fable "Curious"

"Dear buddy, great! Where have you been?" —

“In the Kunstkamera, my friend! I walked there for three hours;

I saw everything, looked out; out of surprise

Believe me, there will be no skill

Retell you, no strength.

Indeed, what a chamber of miracles there is!

Where nature is at the mercy of inventions!

What animals, what birds I have not seen!

What butterflies, insects,

Goats, flies, cockroaches!

Some are like emeralds, others are like coral!

What tiny cows!

There is, indeed, less than a pinhead!” —

“Have you seen an elephant? What a look!

I am tea, did you think that you met a mountain? —

"Is he there?" - "There". “Well, brother, it’s my fault:

I didn’t even notice the elephant.”

Ivan Krylov's fable "Cuckoo and Gorlinka"

The cuckoo cuckooed sadly on the bitch.

“What, gossip, are you so sad? —

Dove cooed affectionately from a branch to her, -

Or about what has passed

It's spring here

And with her love, the sun went down below,

And that we are closer to winter? —

“How, poor thing, should I not grieve? —

The cuckoo says. - Be the judge yourself

I loved happily this spring,

And finally, I became a mother;

But the children do not want to know me at all:

Do I expect such fees from them!

And isn't it envious when I look

How ducklings curl around their mother,

How chickens pour rain on the chicken,

And I, like an orphan, sit alone,

And I don’t know what childish friendliness is.” —

“Poor thing! I suffer heartily for you;

The dislike of children could kill me,

Although such an example is not rare;

Tell me, did it happen like that, have you already brought out the children?

When did you make your nest?

I didn't see this:

You fluttered, but flew. —

"That's nonsense, so many red days

In the nest, I, sitting, lost:

That would be the stupidest thing!

I have always laid eggs in other people's nests. —

“What kind of affection do you want from children?” —

Gorlinka told her that.

_____________________________

Fathers and mothers! you fable this lesson.

I told it not to the children as an apology:

They are disrespectful to their parents.

And dislike is always a vice;

But if they grew up apart from you,

And you entrusted them to mercenary hands,

Are you not your own fault?

That in old age from them there is little joy for you?

Ivan Krylov's fable "The Cuckoo and the Rooster"

“How, dear Cockerel, you sing loudly, it’s important!” -

“And you, Cuckoo, my light,

How do you pull smoothly and lingeringly:

We don’t have such a singer in the whole forest!” —

"You, my kumanek, I'm ready to listen to you for a century." —

"And you, beauty, I swear,

As soon as you shut up, then I'll wait, I won't wait,

To start again...

And clean, and gentle, and high!

Yes, you are already born like this: you are small,

And the songs, what is your nightingale! —

“Thank you, godfather; but, according to my conscience,

you sing better bird of paradise,

I refer to all of them in this."

Then Sparrow happened to say to them: “Friends!

Though you hoarse, praising each other, -

All your music is bad!”
