Squirrel and wolf

The squirrel jumped from branch to branch and fell straight onto the sleepy wolf. The wolf jumped up and wanted to eat her. The squirrel began to ask:

- Let me in.

Wolf said:

- Okay, I’ll let you in, just tell me why you squirrels are so cheerful. I’m always bored, but I look at you, you’re up there playing and jumping.

Belka said:

“Let me go up the tree first, and from there I’ll tell you, otherwise I’m afraid of you.”

The wolf let go, and the squirrel went up a tree and said from there:

A goat is walking - a smart head; walks, shakes his beard, shakes his faces; I had nothing better to do and looked into the well, saw a fox there and asked:

- What are you doing there, little fox?

“I’m resting, my dear,” the fox answers, “it’s hot up there, that’s why I climbed up here.” It's so cool and nice here! Cold water - as much as you want.

But the goat has been thirsty for a long time.

– Is the water good? - asks the goat.

- Excellent! - the fox answers. - Clean, cold! Jump here if you want; There will be a place for both of us here.

The goat foolishly jumped, almost ran over the fox, she said to him:

- Eh, bearded fool! And he couldn’t jump - he splashed all over.

Morning rays

The red sun floated into the sky and began to scatter its golden rays - to awaken the earth.
The first ray flew and hit the lark. The lark sang his silver song.
The second beam hit the bunny. The bunny hopped merrily across the dewy meadow.
The third beam hit the chicken coop. The rooster crowed: "Ku-ku-re-ku!"
The fourth ray hit the hive. A bee flew off to collect honey from fragrant flowers.
The fifth ray hit the nursery, on the lazy man’s bed: it cuts him right in the eyes, and he turned on the other side and fell asleep again.

Once upon a time there lived a baby elephant.
It was a very good little elephant. The only problem was: he didn’t know what to do, who to be. So the baby elephant sat by the window, sniffling and thinking, thinking...
One day it started to rain outside.
- Ooh! - said the wet little fox, seeing a baby elephant in the window. - What a big-eared guy! Yes, with such ears, he could very well be an umbrella!

Below the birds, above all sorts of flowers - umbelliferous, cruciferous, and the most invisible, such as plantain - fluffy bumblebees, bees and dragonflies flew. The bumblebees did not pay attention to Petya, but the dragonflies stopped in the air and, shooting their wings, looked at him with bulging eyes, as if they were thinking: should they hit him in the forehead with all their might, scare him from the shore, or should they not mess with such a little one? It was good in the water too. You look at it from the shore - and it’s tempting to dive in and see what’s there in deep deep, where the seaweed swings? And it seems that a crayfish the size of a grandmother’s trough is crawling along the bottom, with its claws outstretched, and the fish are backing away from it, waving their tails. Gradually, both animals and birds got used to Petya and used to listen in the morning: when will his horn sing behind the bushes? At first they got used to Petya, and then they fell in love with him because he did not misbehave: he did not knock down nests with sticks, did not tie dragonflies by the legs with thread, did not throw stones at beavers and did not poison fish with lime. The trees rustled quietly towards Petya - they remembered that he had never, like other boys, bent thin aspen trees to the very ground in order to admire how they, straightened up, trembled for a long time in pain and rustled - complaining with their leaves.

We brought a box from the barn, filled it to the top with earth and transplanted a small birch tree into it. The box was placed in the brightest and warmest room by the window, and a day later the drooping branches of the birch rose up, she was all cheerful, and even her leaves were already rustling when a draft wind rushed into the room and slammed the door in anger. Autumn settled in the garden, but the leaves of our birch remained green and alive. The maples burned dark purple, the euonymus turned pink, and the wild grapes on the gazebo withered. Even here and there on the birch trees in the garden yellow strands appeared, like the first gray hair of a still young person. But the birch tree in the room seemed to be getting younger. We did not notice any signs of fading in her. One night the first frost came. He breathed cold air onto the windows in the house, and they fogged up, sprinkled grainy frost on the roofs, and crunched under his feet. Only the stars seemed to rejoice at the first frost and sparkled much brighter than on warm summer nights.

Sometimes at night, waking up, Tchaikovsky heard how, crackling, one or the other floorboard would sing, as if remembering his daytime music and snatching his favorite note from it. It was also reminiscent of an orchestra before an overture, when the orchestra members tune their instruments. Here and there - sometimes in the attic, sometimes in a small hall, sometimes in a glassed-in hallway - someone was touching the string. Tchaikovsky caught the melody in his sleep, but when he woke up in the morning, he forgot it. He strained his memory and sighed. What a pity that the nightly rattling of a wooden house cannot be played now! Play a simple song of a parched tree, window panes with fallen putty, the wind knocking a branch on the roof. Listening to the sounds of the night, he often thought that life was passing by, but nothing had really been done yet. Everything written is just a modest tribute to his people, friends, beloved poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. But never before has he been able to convey that slight delight that arises from the sight of a rainbow, from the sounds of peasant girls in the thicket, from the simplest phenomena of life around him. The simpler what he saw, the more difficult it was to put into music. How can I convey at least yesterday’s incident, when he took refuge from the pouring rain in the hut of the tracker Tikhon.

Two owls, gray owls, settled in the hollow of a gnarled tree in the middle of a dense forest. In early spring, a female tawny owl laid four round white eggs directly onto the rotting bottom of the hollow. The owls flew out of the hollow only at night, when all the other birds were sleeping. Therefore, no one in the forest knew where these terrible night robbers lived. The tiny kings with fiery yellow caps on their heads did not know this either. For a long time they searched throughout the forest for a quiet place for their nest. In the end, they chose a tall spruce tree right next to the gnarled tree where the owls were hiding. At the beginning of summer, when the owlets hatched in the hollow, the kinglets also made a nest for themselves. High above the ground, at the very tip of the branch, they deftly wove flexible needles of pine needles. It seemed to the owls from below that small branches were tangled into a tangle on a wide spruce paw. It never occurred to them that in this ball there was a cozy round nest made of moss, grass stems and strong horsehair. The kings covered the top of the nest with spruce lichen, wove thin cobwebs into the walls, and lined the inside with feathers; on this soft bedding the female laid eight pink eggs with brown specks, the size of a pea. Less than two weeks had passed before naked babies began to flounder in the kings’ nest.

I was driving home from hunting in the evening alone in a racing droshky. The house was still about eight miles away; my good trotting mare ran briskly along the dusty road, occasionally snoring and moving her ears; the tired dog, as if tied, did not lag behind the rear wheels a single step. A thunderstorm was approaching. Ahead, a huge purple cloud slowly rose from behind the forest; Long gray clouds were rushing above me and towards me; the willows moved and babbled anxiously. The stifling heat suddenly gave way to damp cold; the shadows quickly grew thicker. I hit the horse with the reins, went down into the ravine, crossed a dry stream, all overgrown with vines, climbed the mountain and entered the forest. The road wound in front of me between dense hazel bushes, already filled with darkness; I moved forward with difficulty. The droshky jumped along the hard roots of hundred-year-old oaks and lindens, constantly crossing deep longitudinal ruts - traces of cart wheels; my horse began to stumble. Strong wind suddenly buzzed in the heights, the trees began to storm, large drops of rain began to knock sharply, splashed on the leaves, lightning flashed, and a thunderstorm broke out.

Wind and Sun

One day, the Sun and the angry North Wind started a dispute about which of them was stronger. They argued for a long time and finally decided to measure their strength with the traveler, who at that very time was riding on horseback along high road.

“Look,” said the Wind, “how I’ll fly at him: I’ll instantly tear off his cloak.”

He said - and began to blow as hard as he could. But the more the Wind tried, the tighter the traveler wrapped himself in his cloak: he grumbled about the bad weather, but rode further and further.

The wind became angry, fierce, and showered the poor traveler with rain and snow; Cursing the Wind, the traveler put his cloak into the sleeves and tied it with a belt. At this point the Wind himself became convinced that he could not pull off his cloak.

The sun, seeing the powerlessness of its rival, smiled, looked out from behind the clouds, warmed and dried the earth, and at the same time the poor half-frozen traveler.

Feeling the warmth of the sun's rays, he perked up, blessed the Sun, took off his cloak, rolled it up and tied it to the saddle.

“You see,” the meek Sun then said to the angry Wind, “you can do much more with affection and kindness than with anger.”

HOW THE BADger AND THE MARTEN FOUGHT TO TRIAL

One day a badger and a marten were running along a forest path and saw a piece of meat. They ran up to their find.
- I found a piece of meat! - the badger screams.
- No, I found a piece of meat! - the marten shouts to the whole forest.
Badger his:
- I found this! There is no point in arguing in vain!
Marten own:
- I saw it first!
So they argued and argued and almost fell apart.
Then the badger said:
- Let's go to the judge. Let the judge judge us.
And the judge in this forest was a fox.
The fox listened to the badger and the marten and said:
- Give me your find here.
The debaters gave the judge a piece of meat. Lisa said:
– We need to divide this piece into two equal parts. Let the badger take one part, and the marten take the other.
With these words, the fox tore the piece into two parts.
“It’s not fair,” the badger whined. - The marten has a larger piece.
“We’ll fix this problem now,” said the cunning fox and bit off a fair portion of the meat from the marten’s share.
“Now the badger has a bigger piece,” cried the marten. - This is unfair!
- It’s okay, we’ll fix this problem too! I like everything to be fair.
Having said this, the fox again bit off a piece of meat, only this time from the badger’s share. Now it turned out that the marten had a larger piece left than the badger. But the fox was not confused and took a bite from the marten.
And so she leveled the piece until there was nothing left of the find.
Apparently they are telling the truth smart people: greedy and unyielding people are always at a loss.

Bee and fly

This is the parable Elder Paisiy Svyatogorets once told.
There were many flowers growing in the meadow. There were white fragrant lilies, hyacinths, and tall blue irises. And there was also a place for small flowers in the grass. The wind tilted them, merrily swayed the grass and leaves, and the aroma spread far, far away!
Bees were working over the clearing, over the flowers. They collected sweet nectar to feed the young in the hive and stock up on food for a long time. cold winter.
This is where the fly flew. She buzzed displeasedly and looked around.
One little bee, who was here for the first time, politely asked the fly:
- Do you know where the white lilies are?
The fly frowned:
– I didn’t see any lilies here!
- How? - exclaimed the bee. “But they told me that there should be lilies in this meadow!”
“I didn’t see any flowers here,” muttered the fly. - But not far away, behind the meadow, there is one ditch. The water there is deliciously dirty, and there are so many empty tin cans nearby!
Then an older bee flew up to them, holding the collected nectar in its paws. Having found out what was the matter, she said:
– True, I never noticed that there is a ditch behind the meadow, but I can tell you so much about the flowers here!

Duty

Vanya brought a collection of stamps to class.
- Nice collection! - Petya approved and immediately said: “You know what, you have a lot of identical brands here, give them to me.” I will ask my father for money, buy other brands and return it to you.
- Take it, of course! – Vanya agreed.
But his father did not give Petya money, but bought him a collection. Petya felt sorry for his stamps.
“I’ll give it to you later,” he said to Vanya.
- No need! I don't need these brands at all! Let's play with feathers instead!
They started playing. Petya was unlucky - he lost ten feathers. He frowned.
– I’m in your debt all around!
“What a duty,” says Vanya, “I was playing with you as a joke.”
Petya looked at his comrade from under his brows: Vanya had a thick nose, freckles were scattered across his face, his eyes were somehow round...
“Why am I friends with him? - thought Petya. “I’m just accumulating debts.” And he began running away from his friend, making friends with other boys, and he himself had some kind of resentment towards Vanya.
He goes to bed and dreams:
“I’ll save up more stamps and give him the whole collection, and I’ll give him the feathers, instead of ten feathers - fifteen...”
But Vanya doesn’t even think about Petya’s debts, he wonders: what happened to his friend?
Somehow he approaches him and asks:
- Why are you looking at me sideways, Petya?
Petya couldn't stand it. He blushed all over and said something rude to his friend:
– Do you think you’re the only honest one? And others are dishonest! Do you think I need your stamps? Or did I not see any feathers?
Vanya backed away from his comrade, he felt offended, he wanted to say something but could not.
Petya begged his mother for money, bought feathers, grabbed his collection and ran to Vanya.
– Get all your debts in full! – He’s happy, his eyes are sparkling. - Nothing was missing from me!
- No, it's gone! - says Vanya. – And you will never get back what is missing!

BOY-FLIGHT

Once upon a time there lived a small hot Fire. And he really wanted to become a boy, so that he would have two dexterous hands, two strong legs, two keen eyes - in a word, everything like boys.

The Fire Fairy made him a boy (he really asked her about this), but she said that the Fire would be different from all the guys in that if it fell into the water, it would go out, and there would be neither a boy nor a Light.

This is how the boy Ogonyok appeared in a large and cheerful house, where many children lived. He ran fast, jumped high, and when he did something, sparks flew around him.

He was close friends with the guys. They were always together, only Ogonyok and his comrades did not go to the river to swim.

Somehow it happened that Ogonyok was alone on the river bank.

He walked and smiled - just like that: the sun, the river, the trees, the grass.

And suddenly I saw: a boy was drowning, his head was barely visible above the water, waves were rolling over his face.

What to do?

Light remembered the words of the sorceress: “If you fall into the water, you will go out, and then there will be neither a boy nor a Light,” he remembered and... threw himself into the water. He swam up and supported the boy.

And then I felt that I was beginning to fade away, that my arms and legs were no longer listening, and my eyes were no longer able to see. With all his strength he swims. He pulled the boy ashore. I got out myself. Got out and went out.

Black coals lie on the sand - an extinguished boy-Ogonyok.

The Sun saw all this from the high sky. Clear, fair. It collected all its rays into one strong, living and hot beam, directed it at the extinguished boy-Light and lit it again.

And even though he did not become a boy, he no longer became a Light, but a big Fire with the same kind and courageous heart.

Starlings

We waited for the starlings. We adjusted the old birdhouses and hung new ones.

Finally, on the evening of March 19th, someone shouted: “Look, starlings!”

Indeed, they were sitting high on the branches of poplars... We began to count them: one, two, five, ten, fifteen... That evening there was no noise or fuss among the starlings...

For two days the starlings seemed to be gaining strength and kept visiting and inspecting last year’s familiar places.

And then the eviction of sparrows from birdhouses began.

Starlings usually sit high above the birdhouses for two days and, apparently, chatter carelessly about something among themselves, while they themselves gaze downwards with one eye, sideways.

It's scary and difficult for the sparrow. No, no - he sticks his sharp, cunning nose out of the round hole - and back.

Finally, hunger, frivolity, and perhaps timidity make themselves felt. And as soon as he has time to fly away a fathom, like a starling downwards like a stone, he is already at home.

Now the sparrow's temporary economy has come to an end.

Starlings guard the nest in turns: one sits, the other flies on business.

The starling carries all sorts of construction nonsense there: moss, cotton wool, feathers, fluff, rags, straw, dry blades of grass. He makes the nest very deep, so that a cat does not crawl in with its paw or a raven sticks its long predatory beak through it. They cannot penetrate further: the entrance hole is quite small - no more than five centimeters.

And then soon the ground dried up and the fragrant birch buds blossomed. Fields are plowed, vegetable gardens are dug up and loosened. How many different worms, caterpillars, slugs, bugs and larvae crawl into the light of day! That's the starling's freedom!... His food is on the ground and in the ground.

And do you know how many insects harmful to the garden and vegetable garden the starling destroys during the summer, if you count it by weight? A thousand times its own weight!

If you sit quietly in the morning, every day, without sudden movements somewhere in the garden or vegetable garden, then the starlings will soon get used to you and will come very close...

The real starling song should be listened to only in the early morning, when the first pink light of dawn colors the trees...

The air warmed up a little, and the starlings had already scattered on high branches and began their concert. (Alexander Kuprin)

THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

At the very edge of the garden bed, near other flowers, sweet peas sprouted their first sprout. He was very happy about the warm, gentle sun, which awakened the most beautiful plants sleeping in the ground.
– What a wonderful world! - the little sweet pea admired, looking forward to the day when he could open the first flowers. Sweet pea didn’t even know what color they would be.
And the wheatgrass, its roots buried deep in the ground, threatened:
“Are you, poor little fellow, really going to outstrip me in height and even blossom?” This won't happen!
The wheatgrass quickly turned green. A little time passed, and it grew so much that the sweet peas could no longer see the sun - the tender leaves of the sweet peas were covered by the shadow of the wheatgrass.
- Well, you see! – the angry wheatgrass laughed. “You will wither away, and no one will even know that you lived in the world!”
- Horrible! – Sweet pea was in despair. - Will I never see the sweet sun again, will I really have to die without ever blooming?
Suddenly a quiet, polite voice was heard next to him:
- Don't worry, sweet pea! You will still bloom. Just lean against me. I will help you escape from the wheatgrass.
It was a sunflower. He, too, could not yet boast of height, but his leaves were already wide and large, and his stem was firmly in the ground.
Sweet pea obeyed and wrapped her slender arms around the slender sunflower. Every day the sunflower rose higher and higher, and the sweet peas grew with it. Soon they both outgrew all other flowers.
And then one day a sunflower opened a beautiful yellow flower. It was so big and bright that at first the sweet pea mistook it for the sun.
- How beautiful you are! - Sweet pea rejoiced.
“You are beautiful too,” said the sunflower.
Indeed, the sweet peas also began to bloom. Like little silken moths bloomed red on its branches. And what a sweet aroma they exuded!
Bees and butterflies came from everywhere to congratulate the sunflower. They all rejoiced at its beauty and also admired the little sweet pea, which now boldly rose towards the sun and blossomed magnificently.
And the wheatgrass almost burst with anger, crawling at the very feet of the sweet pea. But he was no longer able to do anything bad to him.
- How wonderful it is to live in the world if next to you good friend! - the happy sweet pea said to the bees and butterflies.

Epiphany

At one Moscow school, a boy stopped going to classes. He hasn't been walking for a week or two...

Lyova did not have a phone, and his classmates, on the advice of the teacher, decided to go to his house.

Levi's mother opened the door. Her face was very sad. The guys greeted each other and timidly asked:

Why doesn't Leva go to school?

Mom answered sadly:

He will no longer study with you. He had surgery. Unsuccessful. Lyova is blind and cannot walk on his own...

The guys were silent, looked at each other, and then one of them suggested:

And we will take turns taking him to school.

And accompany you home.

“And we’ll help you do your homework,” classmates chirped, interrupting each other.

Tears welled up in my mother's eyes. She led her friends into the room. A little later, feeling the way with his hand, Lyova came out to them with a blindfold.

The guys froze. Only now did they truly understand what a misfortune had happened to their friend. Leva said with difficulty:

- Hello.

And then it rained down from all sides:

I'll pick you up tomorrow and take you to school.

And I'll tell you what we studied in algebra.

- And I'm in history.

Leva didn’t know who to listen to and just nodded his head in confusion. Tears rolled down my mother's face.

After leaving, the guys made a plan - who would come in, when, who would explain what subjects, who would walk with Lyova and take him to school.

At school, the boy who sat at the same desk with Lyova quietly told him during the lesson what the teacher was writing on the board.

And how the class froze when Lyova answered! How everyone rejoiced at his A’s, even more than their own!

Leva studied well. The whole class began to study better. In order to explain a lesson to a friend in trouble, you need to know it yourself. And the guys tried. Moreover, in the winter they began to take Lyova to the skating rink. The boy loved it very much classical music, and classmates went with him to symphony concerts...

Lev graduated from school with a gold medal, then entered college. And there were friends who became his eyes.

After college, Leva continued to study and eventually became a world-famous mathematician, academician Pontryagin.

There are countless people who have seen the light for good. Boris Ganago

Since childhood, Suvorov dreamed of becoming a military man. However, he was a weak and sickly boy. “Well, where should you be as a military man! – his father laughed at him. “You won’t even raise a gun!” His father's words upset Suvorov. He decided to toughen up. Sometimes the winter cold would come, everyone would dress in warm fur coats or not leave the house at all, but little Sasha would throw on a light jacket and spend the whole day outside. Spring will come. As soon as the rivers open up, no one even thinks about swimming, and Suvorov splashes into the cold water. He was no longer afraid of either heat or cold. The boy walked a lot and learned to ride a horse well. Suvorov got stronger. At the age of sixteen he entered the military service. Suvorov lived for seventy years. He spent fifty-four of them in the army. He began his service as a simple soldier. She ended with feld-mar-sha-lom and ge-ne-ra-lis-si-mu-som. Suvorov fought thirty-five big battles.

SMART MOTHER-LARK

One day, a family of larks built their nest in the middle of a sown field. When summer passed, the baby larks grew up. Wheat also grew.

And then one day the owner went out into the field, looked at the wheat and said to his son: “I think it’s time to harvest the grain. Tomorrow I will ask the neighbors to come help me.”

The little larks heard these words and ran to their mother: “The owner wants to harvest tomorrow. We are afraid that he will destroy our nest. Let’s fly away from this field today!” “Today we are still out of danger,” said the lark mother. “We can stay here one more day.”

The next morning the owner and his son went out into the field. They waited for a long, long time, but not a single neighbor came to help them. Everyone was busy in their fields.

The next day the owner and his son went out into the field again. The owner looked at the wheat and said: “Indeed, it’s time to harvest it. Now I will ask my brothers and sisters to come help me.”

The little larks heard these words. They got scared and ran to their mother. "Mother! - they shouted. “The owner wants to harvest the bread tomorrow.” He's going to call his brothers and sisters for help."

“Don’t be scared,” said the lark mother. – There is no danger yet. We can safely stay here one more day.”

Indeed, the next day neither the owner’s brothers nor sisters came. They all said that, unfortunately, they were very busy in their own fields. On the third day, the owner got up early in the morning, went out into the field and began to work alone.

When the lark mother saw this, she said: “Now it’s time for us to fly away. Because things get done only when a person does it himself, and does not wait for others to do it for him.”

Wind and Sun

One day, the Sun and the angry North Wind started a dispute about which of them was stronger. They argued for a long time and finally decided to measure their strength with the traveler, who at that very time was riding on horseback along the high road.
“Look,” said the Wind, “how I’ll fly at him: I’ll instantly tear off his cloak.”
He said - and began to blow as hard as he could. But the more the Wind tried, the tighter the traveler wrapped himself in his cloak: he grumbled about the bad weather, but rode further and further.
The wind became angry, fierce, and showered the poor traveler with rain and snow; Cursing the Wind, the traveler put his cloak into the sleeves and tied it with a belt. At this point the Wind himself became convinced that he could not pull off his cloak.
The sun, seeing the powerlessness of its rival, smiled, looked out from behind the clouds, warmed and dried the earth, and at the same time the poor half-frozen traveler.
Feeling the warmth of the sun's rays, he perked up, blessed the Sun, took off his cloak, rolled it up and tied it to the saddle.
“You see,” the meek Sun then said to the angry Wind, “you can do much more with affection and kindness than with anger.”

Bee and fly

This is the parable Elder Paisiy Svyatogorets once told.
There were many flowers growing in the meadow. There were white fragrant lilies, hyacinths, and tall blue irises. And there was also a place for small flowers in the grass. The wind tilted them, merrily swayed the grass and leaves, and the aroma spread far, far away!
Bees were working over the clearing, over the flowers. They collected sweet nectar to feed the young in the hive and stock up on food for the long, cold winter.
This is where the fly flew. She buzzed displeasedly and looked around.
One little bee, who was here for the first time, politely asked the fly:
- Do you know where the white lilies are?
The fly frowned:
- I didn’t see any lilies here!
- How? - exclaimed the bee. - But they told me that there should be lilies in this meadow!
“I didn’t see any flowers here,” muttered the fly. - But not far away, behind the meadow, there is one ditch. The water there is deliciously dirty, and there are so many empty tin cans nearby!
Then an older bee flew up to them, holding the collected nectar in its paws. Having found out what was the matter, she said:
- True, I never noticed that there is a ditch behind the meadow, but I can tell so much about the local flowers!
“You see,” said Father Paisiy. - The poor fly only thinks about dirty ditches, but the bee knows where the lily grows, where the iris grows, and where the hyacinth grows.
And so do people. Some are like bees and like to find something good in everything, others are like flies and strive to see only bad in everything. Who do you want to be like?

Well, what a weather, so that it has no bottom, no tires!
Rain, slush, cold, just - brrrrr!.. In such weather, a good owner will not let the dog out of the house.
I decided not to release mine either. Let him sit at home and warm himself. And he took the binoculars, dressed warmly, pulled the hood over his forehead - and went! It’s still interesting to see what the animal does in such bad weather.
And as soon as I left the outskirts, I saw a fox! Mouses - hunts for mice. It prowls through the stubble: its back is arched, its head and tail are towards the ground - well, a pure rocker.
She lay down on her belly, her ears upright, and crawled: apparently she heard the voles. Now they crawl out of their holes every now and then to collect grain for the winter.
Suddenly the fox jumped up in front, then fell with its front paws and nose to the ground, jerked - a black lump flew up. The fox opened its toothy mouth and caught the mouse in flight. And she swallowed it without even chewing it.
And suddenly she started dancing! Jumps on all four, as if on springs. Then suddenly he jumps on his hind legs like a circus dog: up and down, up and down! She wags her tail and sticks out her pink tongue with zeal.
I’ve been lying there for a long time, watching her through binoculars. My ear is close to the ground - I hear her paws stomping. I was covered in mud myself. I don’t understand why she’s dancing!
In this weather, just sit at home, in a warm, dry hole! And what kind of tricks does she pull out with her feet?
I got tired of getting wet - I jumped up to my full height. The fox saw it and barked in fright. Maybe she even bit her tongue. Get into the bushes - I was the only one who saw her!
I walked around the stubble and, like a fox, kept looking at my feet. Nothing remarkable: rain-soaked soil, rusty stems. Then I lay down like a fox on my stomach: wouldn’t I see something? I see: a lot of mouse holes. I hear mice squeaking in their holes. Then I jumped to my feet and let’s dance the fox dance! I jump up on the spot and stamp my feet.
Just then the frightened field mice will jump out of the ground! They move from side to side, bump into each other, squeak piercingly... Eh, if I were a fox, then...
What can I say: I realized what a hunt I had ruined for the fox.
She danced - she didn’t spoil her, she drove mice out of their holes... She would have had a feast here for the whole world!
It turns out what animal tricks you can recognize in this weather: fox dancing! I would spit on the rain and the cold, I would go to observe other animals, but I would feel sorry for my dog. It’s a shame I didn’t take it with me. He's bored, I guess, in the warmth under the roof.
