THREE MERRY GOOSES LIVED WITH GRANNY

(children's story)

It was in ancient times. Three cheerful geese lived with the grandmother, three brothers: white, gray and black. They lived well, together - they even composed a song about them: "The grandmother lived with three cheerful geese: one is white, the other is gray, the third is tanned." The white goose loved to eat more than anything in the world. If he finds a seed, he pecks it, he sees a turnip in the garden, he pulls it out and eats it, and if you give him a self-assembled tablecloth, it will burst completely. So he walked waddling, rolling from fat. The gray goose loved to dance. As soon as he hears the grandmother's gusli-samogudy, he closes his eyes, spreads his wings and, well, stomps, spins and dances. He sees nothing around, hears nothing but music - the capercaillie is a capercaillie. And the black goose was a dreamer. He looked into the sky and thought: it would be nice to take it and fly away far, far away - above a walking cloud, above a standing forest, straight to the stars. Grandmother hid boots-walkers from him just in case - you never know what she thinks. How long, how short - an overseas merchant came to the village: he himself was swarthy, his nose was like an eggplant, his dressing gown was embroidered, his shoes were gilded, and a turban was wound around his head. The merchant laid out outlandish goods. People came running from all sides - crowds, turmoil. Who buys sherbet with Turkish delight, who drags a magic battery-powered lamp, and who even leads a camel. And Grandma came. I chose a palace-plane - big, beautiful. She spread it in the yard, under an apple tree with bulk apples, admired it and went into the house - to watch the series on a silver platter. And the black goose is right there. I jumped onto the palace and let's shout to the whole yard: - Attention-attention! Who wants to go on an expedition to distant stars, climb on the carpet! Hey, Polkan, stop sleeping in the kennel! Let's fly with me! Polkan answers him: - I can't leave the post. Who then will guard the chickens from the fox? Grandma? Why, she doesn’t know how to bark, and she doesn’t have any teeth left - why bite a fox? No, everyone has to do their own thing. You are a bird - you fly. Then the goose called the cow Burenka: - Stop chewing grass, Burenushka! Let's fly with me: the carpet is large, it will withstand. Burenka answers him: - Granny feeds me, granny milks me. If you don’t feed me, if you don’t milk me, it will be bad for me, the cow. I'm nowhere without my grandmother. It's not a cow's business - to fly to the stars. Then the goose of the brothers called: - Hey, my brothers geese! We are free birds - fly with me! A gray goose jumped onto the carpet to his brother, and the white one only stepped on the edge, when suddenly the door swung open and the grandmother jumped out. She rushed to the geese, but the black goose was not at a loss, shouted in a human voice: - Soar, carpet, above the walking cloud, above the standing forest, take me, good fellow, straight to the stars! The carpet began to rise up. The white goose staggered, swayed, the edge of the carpet bent under it - a fat goose crashed against the damp ground. Two geese remained on the carpet. Then he hears a gray goose - in a neighboring yard, a guy played an accordion. Yes, it was so good, it played so soulfully that the eyes of the goose rolled back, its wings spread out, and it went to squat to dance. From the carpet, of course, fell off. There was a black goose left on the carpet. The carpet soared higher than a walking cloud, higher than a standing forest, and sped away in the direction of the constellation Chanterelle. Since that time, neither the grandmother's rug nor the black goose have been seen. They waited, waited for his grandmother and her brothers, but they didn’t wait - and they began to sing the song in a new way: “The grandmother lived with two funny geese, one gray, the other white, two funny geese ...” But still they say among the people that the black goose flew to distant stars and turned into a new constellation - the constellation Goose. One problem: this constellation is not visible even in the most powerful telescope, because the goose is black!

"Two merry geese" is folk song, which became the basis for the short cartoon of the same name. He appeared in 1970 and became part of the video almanac "Merry Carousel No. 2". This plot was later used for several children's books, in which this song was necessarily printed. It is also recommended for blind children. The perky cheerful song "Two Merry Geese" is a hit in kindergartens and development centers. According to it, children learn the initial count 1 and 2 in a playful way and play the simplest puppet theater. After 3 years, the guys are happy to sing their favorite tune, and many even sing karaoke.

Two funny geese (from the cartoon) text

Lived with grandma

One is grey, the other is white

One is grey, the other is white

Washing goose paws
In a puddle by the groove
One is grey, the other is white
They hid in a ditch.
One is grey, the other is white
Hiding in a ditch!

Grandma is screaming:
"Oh, the geese are gone!
One is grey, the other is white
My geese, geese!
One is grey, the other is white
Geese, my geese!"

The geese came out
bowed to grandma
One is grey, the other is white
They bowed to the grandmother.
One is grey, the other is white
Bowed to grandma!
