Good Bad Wolf: A Tale. Wolf - a fairy-tale character Read a bedtime story about a wolf

Once upon a time there was only one Wolf in the world.
Common wolf
Everything is as it should be: eyes, teeth,
Far from being a plant food.
Could this Wolf
If asked, click your teeth,
And such a face, they say,
Move away, I'm very angry
And very dangerous.
In short, this Wolf was quite formidable
And he looks very serious,
However, he had one strange habit -
Loved looking at the stars.
It used to come out in the dark,
Sits on a hill
The coolness of the night creeps across the grass,
And he sits and looks with all his eyes
To the Big Dipper,
To the North Star...
His friends, predators, invite him to hunt,
And he says: “I won’t go,
I want to sit here,
I prefer these stars
Your rough hunting is liked.
Oh, how cute they are!
They are all so beautiful!”
And this Wolf is so happy
From tail to withers
Everything inside was just trembling.
And from this wolfish happiness,
Believe me, children, nature blossomed around:
Violets bloomed in the middle of the night,
The jackdaws sang like nightingales,
And snowdrops came out of the ground in the fall,
Although there was no way they could bloom at this time!
But such joy bubbled inside this Wolf,
Such happiness sang in him incessantly,
That even nature was confused.
But there were difficulties, there were, my friends, there were,
And we will tell about them in our true story,
Not some kind of fairy tale, but a real one.
In a word, when our Wolf looked at the stars,
Although he was still menacing in appearance,
Such a wave of kindness spread from him,
What different bugs and spiders are there?
And the most insignificant little thing
I wasn't afraid of him.
And she even allowed herself the most daring prank.
It's a squirrel or a mouse
Will push a lump into his ear,
Or even a mole, a shrew or a ladybug
Tie a bow on the wolf's tail!
And he sits, happy,
Looking at the star Betelgeuse
And he completely ignores this impudent insolence.
Of course, many friends and relatives
Our wolf was condemned.
Veterans of the Wolf Movement, wearing medals,
They called him to a meeting
Drew his attention
That the wolf race is covered with shame,
Allowing you to laugh at yourself
Almost like ciliates.
I remember one veteran
The bully of our Wolf is worth it:
“If you were born a predator, then live up to it!
Don't you dare break the laws of nature!
You gotta grab it, you know
This impudent hare
Or an unbelted hoopoe
And make okroshka out of it,
Grind into crumbs
Don't let some slippery snail
She crawled up behind you and made horns at you!”
Our wolf listened to his comrades,
But he looked blank.
And then he whispered:
If you knew, friends,
(No, this cannot be explained)
How joyful and wonderful it is,
In warm weather or even in bad weather,
Sit on the hill, on the grass
Too late
And look at the stars!
Yes, next to this joy and pleasure
All everyday little things and even dirty tricks,
What an empty dream, what an absurd obsession!
This joy is higher than insults and steps and horns,
And even higher than science and art.
Oh, what a pity that you don’t know this feeling yet!
Well, and then, then...
The wolf began to look at the sky again,
It was as if his home was there
Without which he could not live,
How can people live without bread?
And he smiled and sighed quietly...
And the predators looked at our Wolf
And they felt sorry for him.
And our Wolf felt sorry for the predators.
Tell me, and next to you unexpectedly
Have violets ever bloomed?

Among the numerous fairy tales of peoples all over the world, those in which one of the main characters is a wolf stand out. In some, he personifies courage and dexterity, and in others, stupidity and deceit. But in any fairy tale, good always triumphs over evil.

How many fairy tales do we know about the wolf? Russian folklore offers a large number of different options. But modern storytellers went further and began to invent their own, new stories. In them, the wolf not only lives in a hole in the forest, but can also drive a car and even be friends with little hares.

Russian folk tales

In some fairy tales, the wolf plays the role of a naive fool. So in one of the fairy tales, a smart fox deceives a wolf, and he is left without a tail, leaving him in an ice hole. The event develops around a cunning fox and a stupid wolf. The grandfather who caught the fish took it home. The fox, having deceived the old man, stole all the fish from him. Afterwards the wolf was deceived too. Due to his stupidity and gullibility, our gray friend was left without a tail. Suffering from his naivety, he can still gain intelligence.

In some fairy tales, the wolf appears as an aggressive robber who treats everyone without pity, and can be defeated either by brute force or cunning. So in the fairy tale “The Three Little Pigs” he tries to blow away the piglets’ houses in order to have lunch. One by one, the naive piglets are afraid of the predator, but when they come together, they defeat the stupid wolf. In the fairy tales “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats” and “Little Red Riding Hood,” our hero acts as an invader who tries to deceive others by posing as their loved ones. He tries to imitate his grandmother, dressing up in her clothes, or turning to the blacksmith, trying to pass himself off as the mother of the little goats. Even though he succeeds, the wolf will be punished later. Goodness and intelligence will always defeat evil and deceit.

Modern fairy tales

When reading such stories, much will seem familiar, but they are rewritten in a new way. In most cases, the main character is positive. The wolf helps small animals or children. So in one of the fairy tales, a wolf found a lost girl Masha in the forest, warmed her up in his hut, fed her, put her to bed, and took her home in the morning.

In most of the stories presented, the wolf evokes sympathy, but this does not make the stories about the gray hero any more boring. On the contrary, they present him as smart and brave, ready to come to the rescue of the small and helpless.

Modern interpretations of famous fairy tales have allowed old stories to sparkle with new colors for both kids and their parents.

One day in winter, a small but smart girl Tanya went ice skating on a frozen lake in the forest. Tanya's parents forbade her to go into the forest alone. But the girl really wanted to learn how to skate like figure skaters and then compete at the Olympic Games. The lake was completely frozen, there was no one on it, you could ride all day. Tanya told her parents that she would be with a friend. And she honed her skills on the ice.
Sitting down to rest after a long workout, Tanya drank hot tea and ate a tangerine. Suddenly she heard someone sneak up on her. Tanya looked around and saw a wolf:
- Ha ha, gotcha, girl! - said the wolf and howled loudly throughout the forest.
But Tanya was not afraid and did not run away. Although, of course, her heart sank and it was very creepy. But she understood that the wolf would not do anything to her. If I wanted to do it, I would have already done it. Otherwise, he most likely just decided to scare her. But why?

My restless son really loves it when one of us tells him fairy tales. And they must begin
“Once upon a time there was a wolf!” It’s impossible without a wolf, otherwise he doesn’t need such a fairy tale. Well, how many fairy tales about the wolf do we remember? And yet the time has come and we began to invent our own fairy tales.
So...

The first fairy tale.

Once upon a time there lived a wolf!
He lived in a deep forest in a small rickety house. He was a good wolf and the fairy tales told to children about how evil and bloodthirsty wolves were very saddened him. Our wolf was completely different. He loved animals, picked berries and dried mushrooms for the winter. He also had a small garden at his house, where he grew cabbage, potatoes and other vegetables.
One day, late in the evening, a wolf was sitting and listening to a cricket sing. Suddenly he hears someone crying. The wolf was surprised. “Did it seem like it to the old man?” he thought.
I listened again, someone was crying again.
The wolf came out onto the porch and shouted loudly:
-Hey, who's crying there?
Silence, can't hear anyone. He had already decided to go home, but they started sobbing again very close by.
“Well, tell me, who’s there?” he said menacingly.
A girl about six years old came out and looked at the wolf with her eyes wide open in fear.
“How did you get here?” the wolf asked the girl.
“I..I got lost,” she answered stuttering and cried bitterly.
The wolf scratched his head and said,
-Well, stop crying, come in then, you’ll be my guest...
The girl backed away.
“I’m afraid of you, you’re a wolf, you’ll eat me,” and she sobbed even louder.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of me, I won’t eat you, I have nothing to do,” he said indignantly, “they told the children all sorts of stupid things,” the wolf muttered, and shouted loudly to the girl:
-Aren’t you afraid in the forest alone?
“I’m afraid,” the girl answered in a thin voice.
“Well, you come in, otherwise the house is completely frozen, the cold has come in,” he grumbled and went into the house.
The girl timidly squeezed through the door and quietly closed it.
“Are you going to eat?” muttered the wolf.
“Yes,” she answered in a trembling voice.
-What’s your name?
“Masha,” the girl answered quietly.
“It’s a good name,” the owner of the house said, smiling.
-How did you get here in such a wilderness?
“Yes, the guys and I wanted to collect mushrooms and berries, but I fell behind them, but I can’t find my way back, I’m still little!” and Masha began to cry again.
-Okay, okay, tears won’t help here, go ahead and eat, here you have cabbage and mushrooms and berries. And I will think about how I can help you.
The girl was hungry and she gladly pounced on the treat. Having eaten, she looked around. An old stove, neatly stacked firewood. There was a flower in a pot on the window, which greatly surprised Masha. But in general, she liked it here. The wood crackled in the stove and her eyes gradually began to close from fatigue.
“Thank you, uncle wolf, everything was delicious,” Masha thanked the wolf, yawning.
“Okay, good luck,” he said, embarrassed.
- Well, Mashunya, go climb onto the stove, and tomorrow morning we’ll go look for your house.
Masha didn’t need much persuasion; she quickly climbed onto the stove and immediately fell fast asleep.
As soon as the sun rose, the wolf began to wake up Masha.
-Get up Mashunya, let’s go already, the road is long, your people are already off their feet, they’re probably looking for you.
Masha rubbed her eyes, jumped up and quickly got dressed. Now she wasn’t the least bit scared, and the wolf was very sweet and kind.
They packed food for the road and set off.
The paths in the forest were confusing and the wolf's instincts helped them find the right path. Late in the evening the road led them to the village where Masha lived. They reached the edge of the forest and the wolf said -
- That’s it Masha, you’ll get further alone! I can’t go there, you understand!
Masha couldn’t wait to leave, but it was a pity to part with the wolf. Over the long journey they managed to become friends. Masha approached the wolf and hugged him with her small arms.
“Thank you for everything!” she whispered in his ear.
“Come on, you’re welcome,” the wolf became shy.
“Well, run and don’t get lost again,” he muttered.
Masha, satisfied, ran along the path to her house. And the wolf looked after her for a long time, following her with his gaze. Already from quite a distance, Masha turned and waved her hand to the wolf. He smiled and turned around and slowly trudged back to his home.
