Scientists, cultural figures, politicians about L. N. Tolstoy

  • What struck me most about Tolstoy was that he backed up his preaching with actions and made any sacrifices for the sake of the truth. He was the most honest man of its time. His whole life is a constant search, a continuous desire to find the truth and bring it to life. Tolstoy never tried to hide the truth or embellish it; fearing neither spiritual nor temporal power, he showed the world the universal truth, unconditional and uncompromising.

  • The world may not have known another artist in whom the eternally epic, Homeric element would have been as strong as Tolstoy. In his works lives the element of the epic, its majestic monotony and rhythm, similar to the measured breath of the sea, its tart, powerful freshness, its burning spice, indestructible health, indestructible realism.

The dog and its shadow

Bug carried a bone across the bridge. Look, her shadow is in the water. It occurred to the Bug that there was not a shadow in the water, but a Bug and a bone. She'll drop the bone so she can take it. She didn’t take that one, but hers sank to the bottom.


Bad game Petya and Vanya played like this: they are like sheep beat a friend friend's forehead to forehead. The game was bad: Vanya became cone on his forehead, and Petya's lump on the eye.


Frog and mouse

The frog and the mouse started a quarrel. They went out onto the hummock and began to fight. The hawk sees that they forgot about him, went down and grabbed both of them.


Monkey and Pea The monkey was carrying two full handfuls of peas. One pea popped out; The monkey wanted to pick it up and spilled twenty peas. She rushed to pick it up and spilled everything. Then she got angry, scattered all the peas and ran away.


Jackdaw and jug The jackdaw wanted to drink. There was a jug of water in the yard, and the jug only had water at the bottom. Jackdaw was out of reach. She began throwing pebbles into the jug and added so many that the water became higher and could be drunk.


Turtle and eagle The turtle asked the eagle to teach him to fly. The eagle did not advise, because it was not appropriate for her; and she kept asking. The eagle took her in his claws, lifted her up and let her go; she fell on the rocks and was broken.


Ant and dove The ant went down to the stream: he wanted to drink. The wave washed over him and almost drowned him. The dove carried a branch. She saw that the ant was drowning, and threw it a branch into the stream. The ant sat on a branch and escaped. Then the hunter laid a net on the dove and wanted to slam it. The ant crawled up to the hunter and bit him on the leg. The hunter groaned and dropped his net. The dove fluttered and flew away.


Lambs and wolf Sheep walked under the forest. Two lambs wandered away from the flock. The old sheep said: – Don’t be naughty, lambs, trouble won’t last long. And the wolf stood behind a bush and said: “It’s not true, the lambs, the sheep is old, her legs can’t walk, she’s so jealous.” Run alone all over the field. .

. The lambs did just that. They walked away from the herd, and the wolf caught them and ate them.


Man and cat The man had a lot of mice. He took a cat into the house so that she would catch mice, and the cat thought that she was then taken so that she herself would become fat. The cat began to eat bones and milk and became fat and smooth. And the cat stopped catching mice. She thought: “While I was thin and rough, I was afraid that they would drive me away, but now I have become smooth and beautiful, and the man will not drive me away. He won’t soon handle another cat like he did me.”

And the man sees that the cat doesn’t catch mice, and says to his wife: “Our cat is no good, look for a bad kitten.” He took the fat cat, took it out into the forest and abandoned it.


Hares and frogs Once the hares came together and began to cry for their lives:“We die from people, and from dogs, and from eagles, and from other animals.” It’s better to die at once than to live and suffer in fear. Let's drown ourselves! And the hares jumped into the lake to drown themselves. The frogs heard the hares and splashed into the water. One hare says:

Stop, guys! Let's wait to drown; The life of a frog is apparently even worse than ours; They are afraid of us too.


Lion and mouse The lion was sleeping. The mouse ran over his body. He woke up and caught her. The mouse began to ask him to let her in; She said: - If you let me in, I’ll do you good. The lion laughed that the mouse promised to do good to him, and let it go. Then the hunters caught the lion and tied it to a tree with a rope. The mouse heard the lion's roar, came running, chewed the rope and said:

Remember, you laughed, you didn’t think that I could do you any good, but now you see that good can come from a mouse.


Mouse, rooster and cat The mouse went out for a walk. I walked around the yard and came again to mother. - Well, mother, I saw two animals. One is scary and the other is kind. Mother asked: - Tell me, what kind of animals are these? The mouse said:- One scary one, he walks around the yard like this, his legs are black, his crest is red, his eyes are bulging, and his nose is hooked. When I walked past, he opened his mouth, raised his leg and began screaming so loudly that I didn’t know where to go from fear.


“It’s a rooster,” said the old mouse. “He doesn’t harm anyone, don’t be afraid of him.” Well, what about the other animal?“The other one was lying in the sun and warming himself. Its neck is white, its legs are gray and smooth. He licks his white chest and moves his tail slightly, looking at me. The old mouse said: - You’re a fool, you’re a fool. After all, it's the cat itself.


Two roosters and an eagle Two roosters were fighting near a dung heap. One rooster had more strength. He beat the other one and drove him away from the dung heap. All the chickens gathered around the rooster and began to praise him. The Rooster wanted people in the other yard to know about his strength and glory. He flew up onto the barn, beat his wings and sang loudly: - Look at me, everyone Killed the rooster! None have There is such a strong rooster in the world! I didn’t have time to sing an eagle flies, knocked down a rooster, grabbed him in his claws and carried him to his nest


Hedgehog and already Once the hedgehog came to the snake and said: - Let me go to your nest for a while. I already let him in. As soon as the hedgehog climbed into the nest, the hedgehog’s pain ceased to exist. I already told the hedgehog: “I only let you in for a while, but now go away, my teeth are all pricking against yours.” needles, and they hurt. Yozh said: “He who is in pain, go away, but I feel good.”


Cat and fox The cat and the fox talked about how to get rid of dogs. Cat says: “I’m not afraid of dogs, because I have a trick for them.” And the fox says:- How can you get rid of dogs with one trick! I have seventy-seven tricks and seventy-seven subterfuges!

While they were talking, hunters came and dogs came running. The cat has one trick, she jumped up a tree, and the dogs didn’t catch her, and the fox began to do her dodges, but didn’t dodge, the dogs caught her.


Mice and cat It became bad for the mice to live because of the cat. Every day, it will take two or three. Once the mice came together and began to judge how they could escape from the cat. They tried and tried, but they couldn’t come up with anything. Here's one mouse saying:“I’ll tell you how we can save ourselves from the cat.” After all, that’s why we are dying because we don’t know when he will come to us. You need to put a bell around the cat's neck so that it rattles. Then whenever he is close to us, we will hear him and we will leave.

“That would be good,” said the old mouse, “but someone needs to put a bell on the cat.” It's a good idea, but tie a bell around the cat's neck, then we'll thank you.
