We read a fairy tale: Geese-swans. Geese-swans (long version) Russian folk tale
A husband and wife lived with their daughter Manechka and son Vanechka. My daughter was already ten years old, and my son was two years old. Father and mother gathered in the city and punish Manechka:
Don't leave the house. Sit with your brother. Wait for the guests!
Manechka listened to them, nodded her head, and when they left, she put her brother on the grass near the house and ran away to play. Only Vanechka was left alone - swan geese flew in, picked him up on their wings and flew away to the forest.
Manechka played with her friends, remembered Vanechka, and ran home. She ran, - but Vanechka was not there!
The girl got scared and cried. She began to call him, look for him, but wherever she ran - there was no Vanechka!
Then I saw geese flying towards the forest and guessed that the geese had taken Vanechka away.
The girl rushed to catch up with the geese. She ran, she ran ... But soon they disappeared from sight. Where to run now?
She stopped, not knowing what to do.
Manechka sees - there is a stove, she goes to it:
Stove, stove, tell me, where did the swan geese fly?
Eat, guest, my rye pie, I will say.
And the girl answered her:
I will eat rye pie! I only eat wheat at home with butter! She said so and ran on.
And where to run - does not know. I saw an apple tree.
She ran rather to the apple tree, asking her:
Apple tree, tell me, where did the swan geese fly?
Eat my forest apple, do not disdain, I will say.
I will not eat sour meat! I eat garden apples with honey at home! - Manechka answered her and quickly ran on.
He runs, runs, hurries, but where the swan geese flew away - he does not know.
She saw here: a milky river flows, jelly banks. She ran to the milky river and asked:
Milk river, tell me, where did the swan geese fly?
Eat our jelly with milk, then I'll tell you.
Don't want! Father and mother don't even drink cream!
Manechka ran again. She runs and runs, but she does not know where to look for her brother. And there is no one to ask!
Suddenly she saw: a hut on chicken legs is turning around itself.
Manechka said here:
Hut! Become the old way, as mother put!
The hut turned. Manya entered it and saw: Vanechka was sitting on a bench, playing with apples.
That's where the geese brought him! To Baba Yaga!
Vanechka also saw her. Manechka rather put her finger to her lips, ordering him to be silent, not to betray her. Baba Yaga sits next to him, dozing with a spinning wheel in his hands. And on her shoulder an owl sits - does not sleep, looks.
Hello, grandmother, - said Manechka.
Baba Yaga opened her eyes and looked angrily at the girl.
Hello, uninvited guest! Why did you come?
I got lost. I walked and walked, my legs could not hold and I wanted to eat. Let me sit with you.
Well, so be it, finish my porridge from the pot, but for this, spin the yarn for me, ”said Baba Yaga and left with the owl.
A mouse crawled out from under the stove and asks:
Girl, girl, give me a little porridge.
On the stove I found Manechka and a pot with the remains of porridge,
and a spoon. She gave the mouse porridge, and the mouse said:
Run away from here and take the boy away. Baba Yaga flooded the bathhouse. Wash you and eat you! And eat it! Run quickly!
Manechka ran away with her brother. And Baba Yaga came up to the window and asked:
Are you spinning, girl?
I'm spinning! I'm spinning! - answered the mouse, eating up the porridge.
As Baba Yaga heated the bath, she came for the girl, but the hut was empty. Baba Yaga screamed:
Fly, swan geese, in pursuit! The girl took the boy! Catch up! Bring the boy! Not that I am you!
Manechka is running with his brother, he hears: the geese are flying after them! I got scared. With her brother in her arms, she rushed to the milky river, asking her:
Rechenka, my dear, hide, cover us!
Eat our jelly with milk - I'll hide it!
She ate jelly, drank milk. Berezhkom covered the milk river Manechka with his brother.
The geese did not see them. They flew, searched, flew on.
Manechka ran with Vanechka. Hear the geese flying again! Manechka rushed to the apple tree, - asks her:
Apple tree, cover it!
Save us!
Eat my forest apple - I'll hide it!
Manechka ate an apple. The apple tree covered the sister and brother with branches. Geese flew over the apple tree - they did not see them.
A girl with her brother ran out from under the apple tree, in a hurry.
Hears: the geese are returning. She ran to the stove.
Stove, mother, - the girl asks, - hide us!
Eat my rye pie and get into the oven.
Manechka ate a pie, climbed into the oven with her brother, closed herself with a barrier. He hears - the geese flew by.
A girl got out of the oven, brother - on hands and run home.
And the geese returned, began to catch up. The girl ran into the house and closed the door. The geese circled over the house and flew away...
Then the father and mother returned. They brought gingerbread to the children, and Manechka also had a handkerchief on her head.
AND or a man with a woman. They had a daughter and a little son.
Daughter, - says the mother, - we will go to work, take care of your brother! Be smart, don't go out of the yard, we'll buy you a handkerchief.
The father and mother left, and the daughter forgot what she was ordered to: she put her brother on the grass under the window, she herself ran out into the street, took a walk, played.
At this time, swan geese flew in, picked up the boy and carried him away on wings.
The girl returned, looking - there is no brother! Gasped, rushed back and forth - nowhere is he!
She called her brother, burst into tears, lamented that it would be bad for her from her father and mother, but her brother did not respond.
She ran out into an open field and only saw: geese-swans darted in the distance, and disappeared behind a dark forest.
Then the sister guessed that they had taken away her brother. There has long been a bad reputation about swan geese - that they were fooling around, they carried away small children.
The girl rushed to catch up with them. She ran, she ran, she saw - in the middle of the field there was a stove.
Stove, stove, tell me, where did the swan geese fly to?
The stove replies:
Eat my rye pie - then I'll tell you.
I will eat rye pie! My own father doesn’t even eat wheat pies…
The stove didn't say anything to her.
Apple tree, apple tree, tell me where did the swan geese fly to?
Eat my forest apple - then I'll tell you.
Here's another. At my dear father, garden apples are not eaten ...
The apple tree didn't say anything to her.
Milk river, jelly banks, tell me where did the swan geese fly?
Eat my simple jelly with milk - then I'll tell you.
Here's another. My dear father doesn’t even eat cream ...
The river said nothing to her either.
For a long time the girl ran through the forests, through the fields. The day began to decline towards evening, there was nothing to do - you had to go home. Suddenly the girl sees - there is a hut on chicken legs, with one window, it turns around itself.
In the hut, the old Baba Yaga is spinning a tow. And her brother is sitting on the bench, playing with silver apples.
The girl entered the hut, says:
Hello grandma!
Hello girl! Why did you come to me?
I walked through the mosses and swamps, soaked all my clothes, came to warm up.
Well, come in, sit down while spinning the tow.
Baba Yaga gave her a spindle, and she herself went out.
The girl is spinning a tow - suddenly a mouse runs out from under the stove and says to her:
Girl, girl, give me some porridge, I'll tell you a good thing.
The girl gave her porridge to eat, the mouse told her:
Baba Yaga went to heat the bathhouse. She will wash you, steam you, then put you in the oven, fry and eat. She will ride on your bones.
The girl sits neither alive nor dead, crying bitterly, and the mouse again says to her:
Do not wait for this, take your brother and run as soon as possible, and I will spin the tow for you.
The girl took her brother and ran.
And Baba Yaga went up to the window and asked:
Girl, are you spinning?
The mouse answers her:
I'm spinning, grandma...
Baba Yaga heated the bathhouse and went after the girl. And there is no one in the hut. Baba Yaga screamed:
Swan geese! Fly faster in pursuit! Sister took her brother away! ..
My sister and brother ran to the milky river. He sees - geese-swans are already flying close, catching up with them.
River, mother, hide us!
Eat my simple jelly, then I'll hide it.
The girl ate a simple pudding and said thank you. The river sheltered them under the jelly bank.
The girl and her brother ran again. And the swan geese have returned, are flying towards them, they are about to see them. How to be? What to do? Trouble! The girl sees - there is an apple tree ...
Apple tree, mother, hide us!
Eat my forest apple, then I'll hide it.
The girl quickly ate a forest apple and said thank you. The apple tree shielded her and her brother with branches, covered them with leaves.
The swan geese did not see their sister and brother, they flew past.
The girl ran again. Runs, runs, it's not far from home left. Then the geese-swans saw them, cackled. They flew in, beat them with wings, look at that brother, they will tear it out of their hands.
The girl ran to the stove:
Stove, mother, hide us!
Eat my rye pie, then I'll hide it.
The girl rather - a pie in her mouth, and herself with her brother - in the oven, sat down in the stoma.
The swan geese flew and flew, shouted and shouted, and with nothing flew back to Baba Yaga.
The girl said thank you to the stove and ran home with her brother.
And just then, the father and mother returned.
- END -
There lived a husband and a wife. They had a daughter, Masha, and a son, Vanyushka.
Once father and mother gathered in the city and said to Masha:
- Well, daughter, be smart: don't go anywhere, take care of your brother. And we will bring you presents from the bazaar.
So the father and mother left, and Masha put her brother on the grass under the window and ran out into the street, to her friends.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, swan geese swooped in, picked up Vanyushka, put him on wings and carried him away.
Masha returned, looking - there is no brother! She gasped, rushed back and forth - Vanyushka was nowhere to be seen. She called, she called - her brother did not respond. Masha began to cry, but tears cannot help grief. She is to blame, she herself must find her brother.
Masha ran out into the open field, looked around. He sees - geese-swans darted in the distance and disappeared behind a dark forest.
Masha guessed that it was the geese-swans that had carried away her brother, and rushed to catch up with them.
She ran, she ran, she sees - there is a stove in the field. Masha to her:
- Stove, stove, tell me, where did the swan geese fly?
- Throw wood at me, - says the stove, - then I'll tell you!
Masha quickly chopped wood and threw it into the stove.
The stove said which way to run.
He sees - there is an apple tree, all hung with ruddy apples, branches bent down to the very ground. Masha to her:
- Apple tree, apple tree, tell me, where did the swan geese fly?
- Shake my apples, otherwise all the branches are bent - it's hard to stand!
Masha shook the apples, the apple tree lifted the branches, straightened the leaves, Masha showed the way. Masha runs further and sees: a milky river flows - jelly banks. Masha to her:
- Milk river - jelly banks, where did the swan geese fly?
- A stone fell into me, - the river answers, - prevents the milk from flowing further. Move it to the side - then I'll tell you where the swan geese flew.
Masha broke off a large branch, moved the stone. The river murmured, told Masha where to run, where to look for swan geese.
Masha ran and ran and ran to the dense forest. She stood at the edge and did not know where to go now, what to do. Looks - a hedgehog sits under a stump.
Hedgehog, hedgehog, - Masha asks, - did you see where the swan geese flew?
The hedgehog says: “Where I swing, you go there!”
He curled up in a ball and rolled between the fir trees, between the birches. Rolled, rolled and rolled to the hut on chicken legs. Masha looks - the Baba Yaga is sitting in that hut, spinning yarn. And Vanyushka is playing with golden apples near the porch.
Masha crept quietly to the hut, grabbed her brother and ran home.
A little later, Baba Yaga looked out the window: the boy is gone! She called the swan geese:
- Hurry, swan geese, fly in pursuit!
Geese-swans soared, screamed, flew.
And Masha runs, carries her brother, does not feel her legs under her. I looked back - I saw swan geese ... What should I do? She ran to the milky river - jelly banks. And the swan geese scream, flap their wings, catch up with her ...
“River, river,” Masha asks, “hide us!”
The river put her and her brother under a steep bank, hid them from the swan geese.
The swan geese did not see Masha, they flew past.
Masha came out from under the steep bank, thanked the river and ran again.
And the swan geese saw her - they returned, they fly towards her. Masha ran up to the apple tree:
- Apple tree, apple tree, hide me!
The apple tree covered it with branches, covered it with leaves. The swan geese circled and circled, did not find Masha and Vanyushka, and flew past.
Masha came out from under the apple tree, thanked her and started running again!
She runs, carries her brother, it’s not far from home ... Yes, unfortunately, the swan geese saw her again - and well, after her! They cackle, swoop in, flap their wings over their heads - just look, Vanyushka will be pulled out of his hands ... It's good that the stove is nearby. Masha to her:
- Stove, stove, hide me!
The stove hid it, closed it with a damper.
The swan geese flew up to the stove, let's open the damper, but it wasn't there. They poked themselves into the chimney, but they didn’t hit the stove, they only smeared the wings with soot. They circled, circled, shouted, shouted, and so with nothing and returned to Baba Yaga ...
And Masha and her brother got out of the stove and went home at full speed. She ran home, washed her brother, combed her hair, put him on a bench, and sat next to him herself.
Here soon both the father and mother returned from the city, the gifts were brought.
There lived a man and a woman. They had a daughter and a little son.
“Daughter,” said the mother, “we will go to work, take care of your brother!” Don't leave the yard, be smart - we'll buy you a handkerchief.
The father and mother left, and the daughter forgot what she was ordered to: she put her brother on the grass under the window, she ran out into the street, played, took a walk.
Geese-swans flew in, picked up the boy, carried away on wings.
The girl returned, looking - there is no brother! She gasped, rushed back and forth - no!
She called him, burst into tears, lamented that it would be bad from her father and mother, but her brother did not respond.
She ran out into an open field and only saw: geese-swans rushed in the distance and disappeared behind a dark forest. Then she guessed that they had taken her brother away: there had long been a bad reputation about swan geese - that they were fooling around, they carried away small children. The girl rushed to catch up with them. She ran, she ran, she saw - there was a stove.
- Stove, stove, tell me, where did the swan geese fly to?
The stove replies:
- Eat my rye pie - I'll tell you.
- I'll eat a rye pie! My father doesn’t even eat wheat…
- Apple tree, apple tree, tell me, where did the swan geese fly to?
- Eat my forest apple - I will say.
“My father doesn’t even eat garden ones…”
- Milk river, jelly banks, where did the swan geese fly?
- Eat my simple jelly with milk - I'll tell you.
- My father doesn’t even eat cream ...
For a long time she ran through the fields, through the forests. The day is drawing to a close, there is nothing to do - you have to go home. Suddenly he sees - there is a hut on a chicken leg, about one window, it turns around itself.
In the hut the old Baba Yaga is spinning a tow. And a brother sits on a bench, plays with silver apples.
The girl entered the hut:
- Hello, grandma!
— Hello, girl! Why did it show up?
- I walked through the mosses, through the swamps, soaked my dress, came to warm up.
- Sit down while spinning the tow.
Baba Yaga gave her a spindle, and she left. The girl is spinning - suddenly a mouse runs out from under the stove and says to her:
- Maiden, maiden, give me porridge, I'll tell you kindly.
The girl gave her porridge, the mouse said to her:
- Baba Yaga went to heat the bathhouse. She will wash you, boil you, put you in the oven, fry and eat you, she will ride on your bones.
The girl sits neither alive nor dead, crying, and the mouse again to her:
- Do not wait, take your brother, run, and I will spin the tow for you.
The girl took her brother and ran. And Baba Yaga will come to the window and ask:
- Girl, are you spinning?
The mouse answers her:
- I'm spinning, grandmother ...
Baba Yaga heated the bathhouse and went after the girl. And there is no one in the hut. Baba Yaga screamed:
- Swan geese! Fly in pursuit! Brother's sister took away! ..
My sister and brother ran to the milky river. He sees - flying swan geese.
- River, mother, hide me!
- Eat my simple pudding.
The girl ate and said thank you. The river hid her under the jelly bank.
The girl and her brother ran again. And the swan geese have returned, are flying towards, are about to see. What to do? Trouble! An apple tree stands...
- Apple tree, mother, hide me!
- Eat my forest apple.
The girl quickly ate and said thank you. The apple tree covered it with branches, covered it with sheets.
Geese-swans did not see, they flew by.
The girl ran again. Runs, runs, it's not far away. Then the swan geese saw her, cackled - they swoop in, beat their wings, look at that brother, they will tear it out of their hands.
The girl ran to the stove:
“Stove, mother, hide me!”
- Eat my rye pie.
The girl rather - a pie in her mouth, and herself with her brother - in the oven, sat down in the stoma.
Geese-swans flew, flew, shouted, shouted, and flew away to Baba Yaga with nothing.
The girl said thank you to the oven and ran home with her brother.
And then my father and mother came.
