Belarusian folk tale. Children's fairy tales online Light bread Belarusian

A mower mowed in the meadow. Tired and sat under a bush to rest. He took out a bag, untied it and began to chew bread.

A hungry wolf comes out of the forest. He sees - under the bush the mower is sitting and eating something. The wolf approached him and asked:

What are you eating, man?

Bread, - the mower answers.

Is he delicious?

And what a delicious one!

Let me taste.

Well, take it.

The mower broke off a piece of bread and gave it to the wolf.

The wolf liked the bread. And he says:

I would like to eat bread every day, but where can I get it? Tell me man!

All right, - says the mower, - I'll teach you where and how to get bread.

And he began to teach the wolf:

First of all, you need to plow the land ...

Will there be bread then?

No, brother, wait. Then the earth must be harrowed ...

And can you eat bread? the wolf wagged its tail.

What are you, wait. First you need to sow rye ...

Will there be bread then? - licked the wolf.

Not yet. Wait until the rye sprouts, winters through the cold winter, grows in the spring, then blooms, then begins to sprout, then ripens ...

Oh, - the wolf sighed, - for a long time, however, you have to wait! But then I will eat plenty of bread! ..

Where do you eat! the mower interrupted him. - It's too early. First you need to squeeze the ripe rye, then tie it into sheaves, put the sheaves into heaps. The wind will blow them, the sun will dry them, then take them to the current ...

And will I eat bread?

Eh, how impatient! We must first thresh the sheaves, pour the grain into sacks, take the sacks to the mill and grind the flour ...

No, not all. It is necessary to knead the flour in a bowl and wait until the dough rises. Then plant in a hot oven.

And baked bread?

Yes, the bread will bake. That's when you eat it, - the mower finished the lesson.

The wolf thought, scratched the back of his head with his paw and said:

Not! This work is painfully long and hard. Better advise me, man, how to get food easier.

Well, - says the mower, - if you don’t want to eat heavy bread, eat light. Go to the pasture, there the horse is grazing.

The wolf came to pasture. I saw a horse.

Horse, horse! I will eat you.

Well, says the horse, eat. Just first take off the horseshoes from my feet so as not to break your teeth about them.

And that's true, - agreed the wolf. He bent down to take off his horseshoes, and the horse would hit him in the teeth with a hoof ... The wolf turned somersaults - and run.

Ran to the river. He sees geese grazing on the shore. “Shouldn’t I eat them?” -thinks. Then he says:

Geese, geese! I'll eat you.

Well, - the geese answer, - eat. But first, do us one favor before you die.

Sing to us and we will listen.

It's possible. I am a master of singing.

The wolf sat on a bump, lifted his head and let's howl. And the geese wings clap, clap - rose and flew.

The wolf got down from the hummock, looked after the geese and went away with nothing.

He goes and scolds himself with the last words: “Well, I'm a fool! Why agreed to sing? Well, now I’ll eat whoever I meet!”

Only he thought so, looking - the old grandfather is walking along the road. The wolf ran up to him.

Grandfather, grandfather, I'll eat you!

And why so hurry? - says Del. - Let's sniff some tobacco first.

Is he delicious?

Try it - you'll know.

The grandfather took out a tobacco pouch from his pocket, sniffed it himself and gave it to the wolf. As the wolf sniffed at the top of his lungs, so the whole pouch of tobacco and inhaled. And then he started sneezing all over the forest... He can't see anything from his tears, he's sneezing all the time. So he sneezed for an hour, until he sneezed out all the tobacco. I looked around, and grandfather had already caught a trace.

Ram, ram, I'll eat you!

Well, says the ram, this is my share. But so that you don’t suffer for a long time and don’t break your teeth on my old bones, get better out there in that hollow and open your mouth, and I will run up the hill, accelerate and myself attract into your mouth.

Thanks for the advice, says the wolf. - So we'll do it.

He stood in a hollow, opened his mouth and waited. And the ram ran up the hill, accelerated and hit the wolf's head with the horns. So the sparks from the eyes of the gray fell, the whole light swirled in front of him!

The wolf came to his senses, shook his head and argues with himself:

Did I eat it or not?

In the meantime, the mower has finished his work and is going home. He heard the words of the wolf and said:

I didn’t eat, but light bread tasted. That's

    What are you eating?

    Bread, the man answers.

    Is he delicious?

    Oh, - the wolf sighed, - it's too long to wait! Well, when the grain ripens, then I will eat plenty of bread?

    Where do you eat! - says the man. - It's still early! First, ripe rye must be compressed, then tied into sheaves, and only sheaves should be placed in sacrums. The wind will blow them, the sun will dry them, then take them to the current.

    And will I eat bread?

    How impatient! The first step is to thresh the sheaves, gather the grain into sacks, take the sacks to the mill and grind the flour...

    No, not all. Knead the dough from the flour and wait until the dough rises. Then plant in a hot oven.

    Will the bread be baked?

    Yep, baked. That's when you eat plenty, - finished the peasant.

    The wolf thought, scratched the back of his head and said:

    Not! This work is not for me - and long, and troublesome, and difficult. You better advise how to get easy bread.

    Well, - says the peasant, - if you do not want to eat hard bread, eat light. Go to the pasture, the horse is grazing there.

    "Shouldn't I eat them?" the wolf thinks. Then he says:

    Geese, geese, I'll eat you!

    Well, the geese answer, eat. Just do us a favor first.

    What? - asks the wolf.

    Sing us a song and we'll listen.

    It's possible! I am a master at singing songs. The wolf sat on a hummock, lifted his head and began to howl. And the geese - fluttering with their wings - took off and flew away.

    The wolf got down from the bump, looked after them and went on with nothing.

    He goes, scolding himself: "Well, am I not a fool, huh? And why did I undertake to sing to the geese! Well, now I'll eat anyone I meet!" As soon as he thought so, he looks - the old grandfather wanders along the road. Wolf - to him; - Grandfather, grandfather, I'll eat you!

    Where to hurry? - says grandfather. Let's sniff some tobacco first.

    Is he delicious?

    Try it and you'll know.

    Grandfather took a snuffbox out of his pocket, sniffed it himself and gave it to the wolf.

    The wolf pulled his nose with all his might and all the tobacco and breathed in. And then let's sneeze all over the forest... He sees nothing from tears, everything sneezes. I sneezed for more than an hour while I was resting. I looked around, and my grandfather was gone.

    He walked, walked, looked - the sheep were grazing in the meadow, and the shepherd was sleeping.

    The wolf spotted the largest lamb, grabbed it and said:

    Ram, ram, I'll eat you!

    Well, - says the ram, - apparently, such is my share. Stand in that hollow and open your mouth wider. And I will run up the hill, accelerate and jump into your mouth myself.

    Thanks for the advice, - said the wolf, - let's do it.

    He stood in the hollow, opened his mouth, waiting. And the ram ran up the hillock, accelerated and fucked the wolf with horns! He had sparks in his eyes...

    The wolf came to his senses, shook his head and said:

    I don’t understand: did I eat it or didn’t I eat it? And at this time, the same peasant was returning home from mowing.

    He heard the words of the wolf and said:

    You did not eat it, but you tasted light bread.

    Light bread. Belarusian fairy tale

    A mower mowed in the meadow. Tired and sat under a bush to rest. He took out a bag, untied it and began to chew bread.

    A hungry wolf comes out of the forest. He sees - under the bush the mower is sitting and eating something. The wolf approached him and asked:

    What are you eating, man?

    Bread, - the mower answers.

    Is he delicious?

    And what a delicious one!

    Let me taste.

    Well, take it.

    The mower broke off a piece of bread and gave it to the wolf.

    The wolf liked the bread. And he says:

    I would like to eat bread every day, but where can I get it? Tell me man!

    All right, - says the mower, - I'll teach you where and how to get bread.

    And he began to teach the wolf:

    First of all, you need to plow the land ...

    Will there be bread then?

    No, brother, wait. Then the earth must be harrowed ...

    And can you eat bread? the wolf wagged its tail.

    What are you, wait. First you need to sow rye ...

    Will there be bread then? - licked the wolf.

    Not yet. Wait until the rye sprouts, winters through the cold winter, grows in the spring, then blooms, then begins to sprout, then ripens ...

    Oh, - the wolf sighed, - for a long time, however, you have to wait! But then I will eat plenty of bread! ..

    Where do you eat! the mower interrupted him. - It's too early. First you need to squeeze the ripe rye, then tie it into sheaves, put the sheaves into heaps. The wind will blow them, the sun will dry them, then take them to the current ...

    And will I eat bread?

    Eh, how impatient! We must first thresh the sheaves, pour the grain into sacks, take the sacks to the mill and grind the flour ...

    And all?

    No, not all. It is necessary to knead the flour in a bowl and wait until the dough rises. Then plant in a hot oven.

    And baked bread?

    Yes, the bread will bake. That's when you eat it, - the mower finished the lesson.

    The wolf thought, scratched the back of his head with his paw and said:

    Not! This work is painfully long and hard. Better advise me, man, how to get food easier.

    Well, - says the mower, - if you don’t want to eat heavy bread, eat light. Go to the pasture, there the horse is grazing.

    The wolf came to pasture. I saw a horse.

    Horse, horse! I will eat you.

    Well, says the horse, eat. Just first take off the horseshoes from my feet so as not to break your teeth about them.

    And that's true, - agreed the wolf. He bent down to take off his horseshoes, and the horse would hit him in the teeth with a hoof ... The wolf turned somersaults - and run.

    Ran to the river. He sees geese grazing on the shore. “Shouldn’t I eat them?” -thinks. Then he says:

    Geese, geese! I'll eat you.

    Well, - the geese answer, - eat. But first, do us one favor before you die.

    What?

    Sing to us and we will listen.

    It's possible. I am a master of singing.

    The wolf sat on a bump, lifted his head and let's howl. And the geese wings clap, clap - rose and flew.

    The wolf got down from the hummock, looked after the geese and went away with nothing.

    He goes and scolds himself with the last words: “Well, I'm a fool! Why agreed to sing? Well, now I’ll eat whoever I meet!”

    Only he thought so, looking - the old grandfather is walking along the road. The wolf ran up to him.

    Grandfather, grandfather, I'll eat you!

    And why so hurry? - says Del. - Let's sniff some tobacco first.

    Is he delicious?

    Try it - you'll know.

    Let's.

    The grandfather took out a tobacco pouch from his pocket, sniffed it himself and gave it to the wolf. As the wolf sniffed at the top of his lungs, so the whole pouch of tobacco and inhaled. And then he started sneezing all over the forest... He can't see anything from his tears, he's sneezing all the time. So he sneezed for an hour, until he sneezed out all the tobacco. I looked around, and grandfather had already caught a trace.

    Ram, ram, I'll eat you!

    Well, says the ram, this is my share. But so that you don’t suffer for a long time and don’t break your teeth on my old bones, get better out there in that hollow and open your mouth, and I will run up the hill, accelerate and myself attract into your mouth.

    Thanks for the advice, says the wolf. - So we'll do it.

    He stood in a hollow, opened his mouth and waited. And the ram ran up the hill, accelerated and hit the wolf's head with the horns. So the sparks from the eyes of the gray fell, the whole light swirled in front of him!

    The wolf came to his senses, shook his head and argues with himself:

    Did I eat it or not?

    In the meantime, the mower has finished his work and is going home. He heard the words of the wolf and said:

    I didn’t eat something, but I tasted light bread.

    One of the favorite children's fairy tales - "Easy Bread", a Belarusian fairy tale, tells that in order to achieve some goal in your life, you need to work.

    The essence of the tale is simple: a peasant went out to mow the grass, got tired of work and sat down to rest, and then a hungry wolf approached him and asked for a piece of bread. The man treated the wolf, he really liked it, but when he found out how much to do in order to eat bread, he decided to get food in easier ways, which you will learn about when you read the story - he will read the Belarusian folk tale “Easy bread ".

    It's so simple and accessible, "Easy Bread", a Belarusian folk tale, teaches us to work and achieve our goals.

    Once a mower was mowing in a meadow. Tired, he sat down under a bush, untied his sack and began to chew bread from it. At that time, a wolf ran out of the forest, saw a man with food under a bush, came closer and asked:

    What do you eat?

    Is it tasty for you?

    Very tasty, fresh and fragrant!

    Let me try it.

    Why not give, hold on!

    The mower held out a slice of bread to the wolf. The wolf liked the treat.

    I want to eat it every day. How can I get it, tell me?!

    Okay, I'll show you where and how to get bread. First things first, you need to plow the land.

    And then there will be bread?

    No, wait. Then the earth must be harrowed.

    And then you can already eat bread?

    No, after that you need to sow rye on that land.

    Can you eat bread now?

    It's still early, wait. You need to wait until the rye sprouts, overwinter the harsh winter, get stronger in the spring, bloom in the summer, sprout by autumn and soon ripen.

    Oh, what a long wait! One thing pleases, then you can immediately eat bread as much as you like!

    You're wrong, it's still early. Ripe rye needs to be compressed, tied into sheaves, put in sheaves. Wait until the wind blows them, the sun will dry them with rays. After that, you can take it to the current.

    Can you eat bread there?

    Well, you're impatient! Still early. Those sheaves need to be threshed, then the grain should be put into sacks, and those sacks should be taken to the mill. You need to grind flour in the mill.

    Now you can definitely eat bread?

    No, the bread is not ready yet. You need to knead the flour, wait until the dough rises and put this dough in a hot oven.

    And will the bread be ready?

    Yes, then the bread will be baked. You eat it then, as much as your heart desires.

    The wolf pondered and said:

    This is a painfully long job. Tell me, man, how to get food faster and easier.

    If you don't want to taste the heavy bread, you can try the light one. Go to the pasture, there the horse grazes.

    A wolf came up to the pasture, saw a horse there and said to him:

    Horse, I'll eat you!

    Nothing to do, if you want to eat, then eat. But first, take off my horseshoes, otherwise you will break all your teeth about them.

    The wolf agreed with the horse, bent down to his feet to take off the horseshoes, and the horse with all his might would give him hooves in the teeth. The wolf rolled head over heels, barely took his legs.

    I ran to the river. Looks - geese are grazing near the shore. He decided to eat them, came up and said:

    I'll eat you now!

    You can eat, but before you die, do us just one favor. Sing to us.

    Well, - answered the wolf, - I'm a master of singing!

    The wolf sat down on a hummock and, raising his head, howled. Meanwhile, the geese gathered and quickly flew away.

    The wolf got angry, jumped off the bump and decided that now he would definitely eat the one he met first.

    As soon as he decided this, he suddenly sees an old man walking along the road. The wolf immediately ran up to him and said:

    Grandpa, I'll eat you now!

    Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not in a hurry, let's sniff tobacco with you.

    Is tobacco delicious?

    When you try, you'll know!

    The old man took out a pouch from his pocket, sniffed it himself and treated the wolf. The wolf tried so hard that in one breath he inhaled all the tobacco from the pouch into himself. And then he began to sneeze so much that he could be heard throughout the forest, and tears from his eyes fell like hail. The wolf finally sighed, and the old man was already gone.

    Baran, I'll eat you now!

    Well, that's my lot, says the ram dejectedly. - And so as not to torment you for a long time and not to break your teeth on my old bones, go better to that hollow and open your mouth, and I will climb that mountain and with acceleration I will draw you right into your mouth.

    Thanks for the advice, that's what we'll do, agreed the wolf.

    He went into a hollow, opened his mouth wide and waits. And the ram jumped up the mountain, accelerated and hit the wolf on the head with his horns so hard that sparks from his eyes fell and his head went around.

    Having come to his senses, the wolf could not understand in any way whether he had eaten the ram or not. And that hour the mower finished mowing and went home. Hearing the wolf's conversation with himself, he said to the wolf:

    You didn’t eat it, but you ate some light bread!
