The main character of these tales is the Hedgehog, who lives under a large spruce tree. The hedgehog is already an adult, although his interests and behavior are childish. He looks like a baby playing, pretending to be an adult, which children love to do. Hedgehog has many friends and acquaintances. He is kind, inquisitive and a little thoughtful.
Each season has its own special charm. In spring, nature wakes up from winter hibernation, comes to life and delights the forest inhabitants with the ringing of streams and the trill of drops. In summer it is warm, flowers bloom, fruits and berries are filled with juice. In autumn everything ripens, apples and pears ripen on the trees, nuts turn yellow, the forest is full of mushrooms and berries, edible spikelets ripen in the fields. Only in winter there is little joy for forest dwellers: everything around is covered with snow, it’s cold, there is very little food, only what they have stored up since the fall. That is why the animals decided to have a holiday in winter, so that there would be something to rejoice in winter too. And they called this holiday New Year.
Children's fairy tales should be kind. Children are so pure that they can still learn from positive examples.
Autumn has come to the hedgehog forest, and with it the feeling of approaching winter. The hare ran around the forest all day long, collecting mushrooms, nuts and apples, preparing firewood and dry leaves. He got up early and early and worked until the night. Coming home, he hastily ate the cooled soup and went to bed. And this was repeated day after day, every day. Every day, but not today. Today was a special day - today was the day of farewell to summer.
Headings From the collection,The fairy tale was compiled by Dubina Galina Gennadievna and Lychagina Olga Vladimirovna based on a fantasy story by children about the strength and power of the spoken word.
Fairy tale "Hedgehog and Sunshine"
This story could actually happen. And it happened in one fairy-tale forest, where the Hedgehog lived with his mother and father, who always laughed at Sunny. Every morning he woke up and, going for a walk in the forest, said:
Again you shine brightly. Are you the most important thing here? Of course not, I know that even without the sun, life on earth continues. After all, an owl flies at night and lives by that.
As soon as he said these words, the Sun was offended and did not return to his place in the sky at the appointed time and hid behind a large black cloud. It became dark and scary all around. And such a commotion began in the forest: The bunnies lost each other, Squirrel, out of fear, forgot where her storerooms were, in which she hid supplies for the winter, and little Hedgehog lost his way home. He cried so bitterly and loudly from fright that Aunt Owl flew in to hear his cry, loudly flapping her wings and saying something terrible in the complete darkness: “Wow - wow! Wow - wow! Somewhere far away, a wolf howled, and from this howl, frost ran through the skins of all the forest inhabitants.
A hazel bush began to tremble next to the little Hedgehog. The hedgehog became quiet and closed his eyes tightly so that it wouldn’t be so scary. Having become a little bolder, he opened one eye, and the bush continued to tremble. Curiosity took over. The hedgehog began to examine the bush more carefully and determined by the smell that it was not the bush that was trembling, but a hare sitting under it; he was also frightened by the darkness and the unknown.
Who's here? - asked the now completely emboldened hedgehog.
“E-e-e-me, s-z-a-i-i-ts,” they answered from behind the bush, lightly tapping their teeth. - You don’t happen to know what happened in le-e-su?
I know the sun was offended by me,” the Hedgehog said sadly and quietly.
W-w-why?
I said that life could also exist without him, because owls live at night. But it got offended and hid from everyone.
And as proof of their nocturnal existence, a silent, large-winged Owl flew over them.
Why are you shaking, are you cold?
Noooo, I'm scared! It’s dark all around, and I can only sense enemies through my nose, by smell, but m-m-I have a runny nose, and I can’t distinguish any smells, that’s why I’m scared: suddenly there’s an enemy nearby , but I don’t see him and won’t be able to escape from danger in time.
Meanwhile, not everything was calm in Hedgehog’s house either. The parents were very worried about their little son - it was dark in the forest, even if you gouged out your eyes, but he was not at home! Without hesitation, the concerned parents went to look for their child. They were adults and could navigate in the dark. All the forest inhabitants whom they met on their way were asked:
Hello, have you seen our son, little Hedgehog?
And everyone said:
Your son offended Sunny and now in such pitch darkness you would be able to see your own nose, let alone someone on the road.
Hedgehog's mother was very upset, and a bitter tear fell from her eyelash into the old Mole's hole. The mole got out and asked sternly:
The autumn rain begins, then you need to close the hole, but why is the rain so salty? I don't understand anything.
No, it’s not autumn rain, it’s me who is saddened by the fact that I can’t find my son, little Hedgehog, Hedgehog’s mother cried.
We have already asked everyone in the forest, no one has seen him,” said Papa Hedgehog.
Well, it’s not scary, in our forest no one has ever disappeared anywhere without a trace,” old Mole tried to reassure the inconsolable parents.
It is of course true, but if it were a bright day..... - the hedgehog parents said in one voice.
What, is it night now? - asked the mole, reminding the inconsolable parents of his special position on earth.
And the unfortunate parents told the story they heard from the forest inhabitants, about how their son offended the sun.
Yes, your son acted badly, he shouldn’t have offended Sunny,” the wise old Mole concluded after listening to the story. - And you can help your grief: you need to gather all the forest inhabitants and call the Sun together with magic words spoken three times:
Clear sunshine, show yourself
Red sun, appear!
Hedgehog's parents had many friends; they were very sociable, kind and sympathetic, so it didn't take long to collect forest animals. All the residents, as one, responded to the hedgehogs’ call to call Sunny.
They gathered near an old oak tree at a large clearing and called the sun three times with magic words. As soon as the last sound of the call died down, the Sun peeked out from behind a cloud, shone, shone with its bright rays, warmed the earth, the forest, the old oak tree, a large clearing and the inhabitants gathered in it. The inhabitants of the forest rejoiced, sang cheerful songs, and began to dance in circles. And from behind the walnut bush came the Hare and the little Hedgehog. The hare no longer trembled with fear, and little Hedgehog saw his tear-stained mother and upset father and ran to them. Running up to his parents, he kissed his mother, hugged his father, and, lowering his eyes, said:
I am very ashamed that I made you all worry by saying thoughtless words.
And then, raising his head, he shouted loudly:
Sunny, please forgive me. Of course, you are the most important thing on earth, because without you there is no life for anything or anyone on earth. I promise that in the future I will never speak thoughtlessly.
Jerzykh’s mother hugged her son and, stroking his prickly head, said:
Well done, son. And I’ll say this about thoughtless words: a word can kill!
The word is not a sparrow; if it flies out, you won’t catch it!
But the old wise Mole didn’t say anything, he just grinned slyly through his big mustache and went down into his hole.
The celebration in the large clearing continued until the evening, and the little Hedgehog was thinking about what his parents were talking about, why the word is not a sparrow, why can it kill? Do you know?
It was a cold and harsh winter; There were severe frosts at night, the winds were blowing, and the snow was visibly and invisibly. There were such drifts of loose snow all around that not only small animals, but even a wolf and a fox could not get anywhere, they got stuck in the snow. However, the little animals were only happy about this; you could look outside without fear of being eaten by a fox.
The hedgehog lived in his house, which was located under the roots of a large spruce tree growing alone on the edge of the forest. His house was large: with several rooms, a kitchen, a hallway, and a storage room. The house had two exits. One went underground and led out to the edge of the forest, and the second was inside a thick tree trunk and led out to a large lower branch of a spruce tree. The hedgehog could always get out to the edge of the forest or onto a tree. Both exits were closed with strong doors so that no predator could get into the house. There were also many small windows in the house through which fresh air came in from the street.
One day, somewhere in the middle of winter, severe frosts struck. So strong and harsh that it was scary to go out into the street, you could immediately freeze your nose. At such times, Hedgehog usually sat in his warm hole and drank tea from the samovar. And that evening he flooded the samovar, took out all sorts of sweets from the cupboard: jam, sweets, and began to drink tea from currant leaves. A strong wind was blowing outside; it could be heard even in Hedgehog’s cozy house.
Suddenly, Hedgehog thought that someone was rustling outside the door. The hedgehog stood up and listened, but heard nothing. It was probably the wind. As soon as Hedgehog sat back in his chair to continue drinking tea, some rustling and knocking was heard again. The hedgehog was scared at first; he thought it was a Fox or a Wolf sneaking around his house. Slowly making his way along the corridor to the door that looked out onto a spruce branch, the Hedgehog listened.
-Who's there? he asked loudly.
In response, some kind of knocking was heard again, and then the sound was barely heard:
- It’s me, Be-be-squirrel.
The hedgehog opened the door and saw a squirrel sitting on a branch, it was completely frozen; icicles hung from her fur, her nose was blue, and her paws were curled from the cold. Her teeth were chattering, and she could hardly say anything.
“Why are you sitting here,” the Hedgehog hurried, “come home quickly, otherwise you’ll freeze completely!” “He grabbed Belka, who, it seemed, could no longer walk from the cold, and dragged her into his house.
The hedgehog sat the guest in a chair and wrapped her in a duvet. Soon, she began to warm up a little. The hedgehog poured her hot tea and gave her raspberry jam.
“Help yourself,” suggested the Hedgehog, “or you won’t get sick for long.” You need to warm up well.
“Thank you,” Belka was finally able to say.
“Why did you,” asked Hedgehog, “go outside in such cold weather?”
- I had to. — The squirrel answered with a sigh. “I live in my hollow, and it’s located almost at the very top of this spruce tree.” It’s good at my house, spruce branches cover the hollow from the wind, so it’s usually warm and cozy there. But the last few days there had been such severe frosts and the wind was blowing so hard that even the shaggy spruce branches could not help. My house began to get drafty, and soon it became completely cold. I wanted to move to another place where it wasn’t blowing so hard, but there was so much snow that I couldn’t reach another tree, and I couldn’t jump on the branches, it was too far. I had to go down to the lower branches to hide a little from the wind. Thank you, Hedgehog, for letting me go home, otherwise I would have frozen there on the branch.
“Please,” Hedgehog answered her, “I wouldn’t leave anyone to freeze on the threshold of my house in such frost.” “Here’s what,” he came up with, “stay with me until the severe frosts end, and then move to your place, back to the hollow.”
Squirrel was very happy about Hedgehog’s offer. They began to live together. They had enough space, and now it was more fun. A couple of days later, when the wind died down a little, Squirrel dragged some of the supplies from her hollow: nuts, dried mushrooms and apples. When the severe frosts completely ended, Belka moved back to her hollow.
- Thank you, Hedgehog, for helping me in trouble. — she thanked her friend, saying goodbye.
“You’re welcome,” answered the Hedgehog, who was a little sorry to part with Belka. - Come visit sometime.
“I’ll definitely come,” Belka answered, “but not soon, there will be a lot to do now; You need to put the hollow in order, heat it, otherwise it’s completely frozen and damp.
And again the Hedgehog lived alone. At first he was bored, he even regretted that the frosts were not so severe now. The squirrel returned to its hollow and set about housekeeping. During her absence, the entire hollow was covered with snow, it became damp, and icicles hung all around. The squirrel cleared the hollow of snow, icicles and frost, lit the stove, warmed up her entire house, and it became better than before. The supplies were all preserved, and soon Belka forgot about her adventures and lived an ordinary life.
The rest of the winter passed without major shocks: the frosts were not severe, there was a lot of snow and almost no wind.
Spring came only at the end of March, but it immediately became warm. The snow was melting quickly, and the sound of water was constantly heard around. The squirrel ran out of its hollow several times a day and, jumping on the branches, examined the surroundings. It seemed as if the forest had turned into a big river; Streams gurgled all around and icicles dripped.
One day, Belka was sitting at home during the day and admiring the play of sunbeams in the green branches of a spruce tree. Suddenly, she heard someone climbing her tree. The squirrel was scared at first; she thought it might be a marten or a snake. Carefully, Squirrel looked out of the hollow and saw her friend Hedgehog on the lower branch. He was all raw.
“Hello, Hedgehog,” Belka said joyfully. “I didn’t even know that hedgehogs can climb trees.”
“I didn’t know either,” answered the Hedgehog, “until my house was completely flooded.” I thought that the water would not reach my hole, but that was not the case. Everything was washed away, I barely managed to get out of the house. I managed to get out, but there was nowhere to go, there was water all around, so I climbed up a tree higher.
“Climb into my hollow quickly, otherwise you’ll fall into the water,” Squirrel became worried, noticing that the Hedgehog’s paws were shaking from fatigue.
The hedgehog, sniffling, barely climbed into the hollow next to Belka. There she wrapped him in a warm, dry blanket and gave him hot linden honey.
“Hm-yes,” Hedgehog sighed, having warmed up a little and dried out, “how will I get home now?” My house was flooded, water was all around.
“You stay with me for now,” Belka suggested, “I have a place.” And where should you go, there’s water all around?
Hedgehog stayed with Belka. During the day he helped her with the housework, and in the evenings they drank tea, sitting at the entrance to the hollow, and listened to the sound of the water in the forest. When the water subsided and the earth dried up, the Hedgehog went down to his hole. He had to work hard to put everything in order, and Belka helped him with everything.
Since then, Hedgehog and Belka became good friends and often helped each other. They went out to pick mushrooms and berries together, and dried apples together. Sometimes they went to visit each other, but more often Belka came to Hedgehog, because he was afraid to climb a tree. On cold winter evenings, they often remembered how boring it used to be to live apart, and were glad that they were now together.
