Sister fox and wolf
A woman in a hut sculpts a pie and puts it on the windowsill so that it bakes in the sun, because she and her grandfather don’t even have a stove - they live so poorly. A fox and a wolf pass by and steal a pie. The fox secretly eats all the filling, and blames the wolf. He swears he never even touched the pie. Then the fox offers him a test: he must lie down in the sun, and whoever waxes on his body from the heat, he ate the honey filling. The wolf falls asleep, while the fox steals a honeycomb from the apiary, eats it, and sticks wax around the skin of the wolf. This is how the cheat gets her way: the wolf is forced to confess what he did not do, because he does not even remember how and when he ate the filling from the pie. The ashamed wolf promises the fox to give up his share at the first prey.
The fox pretends to be dead, and the men passing by pick it up and throw it on a cart of fish. The cunning fox drops the fish from the cart, collects the prey and tells the hungry wolf how she caught so many fish. He, having obeyed her advice, goes to the river and sticks his tail into the hole. The fox waits until the wolf's tail is completely frozen, runs to the village and calls the people to beat the wolf. He manages to escape by jumping into someone's sleigh, but he is left without a tail. The fox, meanwhile, runs into the hut, smears himself in dough, runs outside the village and lies down on the road. When a wolf passes by, she complains to him: she was beaten so badly that even the brain came out of her bones. The trusting wolf sympathizes with her, and the fox settles into the sleigh. As soon as the wolf goes to the forest to chop wood, the fox eats all the insides of the horse and fills its belly with live sparrows and straw. When the wolf notices that the horse is dead, he himself has to carry the fox in a sleigh, and she slowly says: “The beaten one is carrying the unbeaten one!”

In other houses, in the same way, she gets a goose for a chicken, a lamb for a goose, a bull for a lamb. After skinning her prey, she hides the meat, stuffs the skin of the bull with straw, puts it on the road and asks the bear and the wolf to steal the sled and the collar to ride. But the straw goby does not move. The fox jumps out of the sleigh, laughs at the wolf and the bear, and runs away. They pounce on the bull, but there is nothing to profit from.

When the men and women go to hay, the wolf steals a glass of butter from the cellar and puts it on a high shelf in the hallway to keep the butter for the holiday until the fox has eaten everything. Then the fox goes to a trick: for three nights in a row she tells the wolf that she is called to be a midwife, and she makes her way into the hallway, puts a ladder against the wall and eats butter. The holiday is coming. The wolf and the fox are going to call the guests and prepare a treat. When the loss of oil is discovered, the wolf blames the fox, but the cheat denies everything and puts the blame on the wolf. The fox offers him a test: he must lie next to the melted stove and wait: whoever melts the oil from the belly, he ate it.

They are trying to drive the fox out of the hare's hut, but she shouts to them from the stove: “As soon as I jump out, as soon as I jump out, shreds will go along the back streets!” The animals run away in fear. Only the rooster is not afraid of the fox, he cuts it with a scythe and remains to live with the bunny.

The fox promises to forgive him all his sins if he gets down from the tree and repents of everything to her. The rooster descends and falls into the paws of the fox. The fox is gloating: now she will get even with the rooster, who did not let her profit from the chicken when she was hungry!

The fox comes and wants the man to treat her for helping him get rid of the bear. He calls her to his home, and he sets the dogs on her. The fox manages to hide in a hole and asks her eyes and ears what they were doing when she ran away from the dogs. The eyes say they were watching to make sure she didn't stumble, and the ears say they were listening to see how far the dogs were. The tail says that he only dangled under his feet so that she would get confused and hit the dogs in the teeth. The fox is angry with the tail: she sticks it out of the hole and shouts to the dogs to eat the fox tail, and they pull it out of the hole by the tail and bite it.

What do fairy tales teach?
Are these little stories really that simple? It turns out not. Each fairy tale about animals has a good name, a full-fledged plot, colorful characters that largely reflect the essence of what is happening in reality. Thus, with each new fairy tale, the child learns to explore this vast world.
In fact, children's fairy tales about animals are the first textbooks for kids in a difficult school of life. With their help, the child learns that kindness is the most valuable gift for good man and it always triumphs over evil. Friendship is no less important than diligence, and kids learn about it from fairy tales about courageous and noble heroes who, in spite of everything, overcome all difficulties. In addition, fairy tales about animals teach love for neighbors and respect for elders, compassion for the poor and honesty in everything.
The peculiarity of children's vision is such that all the stories told are perceived for the most part on an intuitive level, and the perceived situations and characters acquire a real appearance only later. Therefore, the choice of the first books for your baby should be approached with special attention. It's great if there are or in the new book. And it is better to start with well-known, kind folk tales about animals.
Russian folk tales about animals
The main characters of such fairy tales are wild animals. Although there are many stories about pets. According to legend, the first about animals appeared in an era when hunting was one of the main crafts. Mothers told their children stories about powerful representatives of the animal world, and children, due to their developed imagination, already attributed human features to the characters. Tales about animals were passed down from generation to generation, and with each retelling, the characters acquired new features.
In Russian folklore, fairy tales about animals were interpreted in different ways. But the main acting characters have always been: a fox and a wolf, a hare and a bear, a dog and a rooster; goat and bull.
The character of the fox came to us from Western fairy tales. The cunning, deceit and cunning of the fox has always made her stronger than her eternal companions, the wolf and the bear. And this is not at all surprising, because the wolf's anger, greed and at the same time not insight did not give him even a tiny chance in competition with the fox.
But the bear character is rarely endowed with any characteristic features and the little reader always has the opportunity to create his own image of the hero. The cowardly hare, the proud rooster, and the stubborn goat and bull were not always like this. Most of the features attributed to these characters are firmly rooted in Russian folklore precisely because of the traditional vision of these animals.
As for the plot, in about animals there is always a place for deceit and meanness, but the courage, courage and kindness of the main characters conquers everything. The plot of many fairy tales about animals is based on life situations that adults experience every day in the real world. And due to the colorful depiction of characters and comical descriptions, little readers perceive all the stories quite realistically, but at the same time, such stories evoke only good associations. After all, every fairy tale about wild or domestic animals has a happy ending.

Regardless of age, each of us at least once in his life recalled those wonderful moments of his childhood joy in anticipation of another journey into the world of fairy tales. But in the life of every child there should be happy moments filled with joy and magic!
Proper upbringing has a positive effect on the personality of the child and his spiritual qualities. When introducing their baby to the world that exists outside the family, parents should be very careful, as an overabundance of information can overload the child's mind. The presentation of materials should be made as comfortable as possible for the young listener, and in this case, short fairy tales will be an ideal option for learning.
Not only in the old folklore, attention was paid to such stories - contemporary writers continued to write fables about domesticated and wild animals. Their heroes are no longer so unambiguous in terms of their characters, but thanks to this approach, the characters began to turn out to be more vivid, colorful and memorable. The plots of author's works are sometimes deeper than folk narratives.
