Once upon a time there was a Bunny who couldn't jump. He, of course, moved, but in a different way, moving his paws like a cat. Because of this, the other rabbits, his brothers and sisters, made fun of him. The bunny was very worried about this and, finally, firmly decided to learn how to jump. One day he got up and walked into the forest, hoping to find someone who would teach him how to jump.

Zainka walked for a long time until he reached the pond. Then he saw the Frog.
- That's who will help me, - Zainka was delighted and ran up to her, - Frog, please teach me how to jump.
- Why not teach? - answered the frog, - Look! You stand on the shore near the water, sharply push off with your hind legs, once, and you are in the pond.
The frog said this and demonstrated how it jumped into the water.
Bunny went to the pond, touched the water with his paw and walked away. He thought that he couldn't swim either. After thinking a little, Zainka quietly slipped away until the frog emerged from his pond. He wandered on.
Suddenly, he saw a Kangaroo. The kid deftly jumped, trying to reach a branch with a bulk apple.
- Hooray, Kangaroo will definitely help me, - said Bunny and ran up to him. - Hello, Kangaroo, teach me how to jump as well as you.
- It's easy - you stand on your hind legs, lean on your tail and jump up - the kangaroo showed how it was and finally got a ripe apple. - Wow, you did it! Now you try!
The bunny stood up on its hind legs and tried to lean on its little tail. But he lost his balance and fell on his back, hitting the ground painfully.
- Oh-oh-oh, - groaned Zainka, - how painful! No, I can't jump like you, I'm sorry.
Bunny wandered on. Suddenly he heard a cheerful song and saw the girl Masha skipping along the path. The girl had a birthday today and she was given a lot of gifts and balloons. That's why Masha had good mood, she jumped on one, then on two legs. She had a beautiful blue ball in her hand.
- Girl, - our Bunny dared to turn, - you are so great at jumping, but I don’t know how, teach me, please!
- With pleasure, - agreed Masha.
The girl picked up a sharp twig from the ground and pricked her blue ball. It burst with a deafening bang and echoed throughout the forest. Poor Zainka, hearing this terrible unfamiliar sound, jumped so high! And then he took off running. He ran fast, skipping like a real hare, until he reached the house. The hares began to torment him, where did he learn to jump like that. Finally, the Bunny calmed down, understood and was glad that he still learned to jump.
Since then, he often told this story to his brothers, then to his children, then to his grandchildren. True, since then the hares have become cowardly and have begun to be afraid of everything.

One day the bunny got very sick. He did not leave the house and the animals could not find out what was happening to him. Finally, one squirrel decided to go into his house. The door was unlocked. The house was dark, and only the light outside the window made its way through the curtains. The bunny lay on the bed and looked at the wall. There was a strange expression on his face. You can't say joy, you can't say sadness. It looks like the face of a sleeping person, only he did not sleep. There was no emotion on his face at all. Only the eyes blinked from time to time. And they burned with an invisible light. Very very bright and scorching, like you're looking at the sun but you can't see it. The bunny looked at the squirrel. She was afraid, the invisible light began to burn her eyes and she did not want to look at him. The bunny turned away and began to lie further. Motionless and almost breathless. Finally, the squirrel moved away from fear and began to say:
- What happened to you?
- Nothing.
- Like nothing?
- Absolutely nothing.
- Maybe you want to eat?
- No.
- But you're healthy!
- Healthy.
"Then why are you lying down?"
- It hurts.
- Where does it hurt?
- It hurts everywhere.
- And how long?
- Almost always. I just didn't notice it before. I thought everyone was like this, but now I can’t stand it at all.
- Can you call a doctor?
The doctor said it was all nerves.
- What about medicines?
There is no cure for nerves.
- Do you want me to make tea with chamomile?
I drink chamomile tea all the time. At first it helped, but now it doesn't.
- And that absolutely nothing helps?
- Used to help. I went out with my friends, played ball, took up interesting hobbies. It calmed me for a while, and then it stopped calming me.
- Maybe you fell in love?
- No. And we passed that too. It was fine at first, but then it went away.
- It's all from idleness! You just don't do anything, and that's why you feel bad.
- What do you want to offer?
- Well... Well... Well, let's go fishing.

The bunny just turned away and continued to lie motionless. In her thoughts, the squirrels began to run different activities, quickly quickly she went through the options. But whatever she came up with, the bunny had either already done it, or it would have been stupid for him. The squirrel was the smartest. She read many books, knew everything in the world. - Well, what do you want? Is there something you want? I want to stop feeling my pain.

And for the first time words stuck in her head. She wanted to say something. At least something, but the words did not come out of the mouth, they did not appear in the head at all. She said a couple of pleasant and encouraging words and started getting ready to go home. The squirrel knew perfectly well that these encouraging words were lies, and she knew that the bunny also understood that this was a lie.

All animals loved to be smart. They asserted one thing, then another. They argued and argued. And the squirrel listened to them and understood that all these were just continuous accusations: "Oh, what a bad bunny, oh, what a lazy bunny, oh, what a stupid bunny." And all these indefatigable insults screamed about one thing: the bunny is a danger to all animals. They themselves did not know what they were facing and therefore were afraid of him. It was rumored that he goes somewhere at night with a wolf.

And then the squirrel decided to follow, and suddenly they don’t lie. She came in the evening to Zaikin's house, and hid. Suddenly thunder boomed, rain poured down, and a shadow floated silently and gracefully through the chilling wind. A huge toothy wolf came to the bunny's house. His fur was wet and stood on end, an evil grin of sharp teeth was on his muzzle, and bright stars seemed to shine from his eyes.

The bunny went to the wolf. All with the same indifferent and empty expression. The wolf carefully took him by the withers in his teeth and carried him into the forest. Everything is just as silent and graceful, as if it were not a wolf at all, but the devil himself.

The squirrel was very scared, but she was the smartest and read a lot of books about heroes. Bravely, shaking with cold and fear, she followed. Her heart was beating like it wanted to jump out and run away. It was very dark all around, but there was an even darker spot ahead. She ran after him. From bush to bush, from pebble to pebble, imperceptibly, quickly. I wanted to turn around and run back, but going back was even worse.

Finally, the black spot in front froze. The rain stopped and the wind died down. There was such a strange silence. Not a single sound. Only the beating of the heart inside and the pulse in the temples rushed through the mind of the squirrel. It got very cold. The wolf carefully put the bunny on the ground, and he went into the thickets of the forest, and in a moment he disappeared into them. The bunny sat on the ground and froze.

The squirrel was already shaking from the cold so that she could hardly speak. She took small steps towards the bunny. The eyes of the bunny were normal, and he even smiled a little.
- Ttt you you you you what are you doing here, bunny?
- Resting.
- And what, and what, and you're not cold?
- Not.
- And not ssss str st scary? Here are the wolves!
- Nope.

The bunny was completely dry, and warmth emanated from it. The squirrel sat next to him, warmed himself, and began to think about how to take him home. But whatever she thought, she saw that in the middle dark forest, in the cold and rain, the bunny became noticeably better. He no longer looked into the void, he looked at the stars, at the shadows, sniffed the air with his funny nose and kept saying something. He talked about the stars, then about the trees. And the shadows of different animals floated by. It was already dawn, dew had fallen on the grasses, and the air was shrouded in a veil of morning fog. Finally, the squirrel began to rock from the fact that she was tired. And she wanted to go home. And just as she wanted it, the wolf's shadow reappeared from the forest. - Don't be afraid. He will take you home. - said the bunny, who was not at all tired. Something lifted the squirrel above the ground. And something slowly moved in the opposite direction. She closed her eyes, then opened them. The bunny was farther and farther away, until a veil of fog completely hid it.

The squirrel woke up already at home. It was warm at home, logs crackled comfortably in the stove, hot tea with smoke stood on the table. Years passed, the bunny still did not leave the house, but at night he went with the wolf into the depths of the forest. The animals kept saying hurtful words. And only a squirrel went to visit him from time to time. And when he lay and looked into the void, she told him tales, now about the stars, now about the trees.

Tale of the Muddy Hare

TALES ABOUT THE HARE PATCH
magic glasses

The hare Koska walked through the forest and found glasses. Large, with pink lenses. Their
one girl lost while picking strawberries.
The hare Koska put on glasses and was very surprised - everything around immediately became pink:
and the road, and the water, and the cloud in the sky. "Perhaps these are magic glasses," he thought.
He. No one else in the forest has one like it. Now everyone should be afraid of me."
He pushed his cap back with a visor, raised his head higher, and went on. A
towards him - the fox Lariska. She looked and even sat down in surprise - that
is this a new beast that showed up? In appearance, he looks like a hare Koska, and his eyes
big as wheels. And he is not afraid of the fox Lariska, he goes straight towards.
She crawled off to the side, peeking out from behind a bush - you never know, she thinks that
may happen. And the hare Koska came very close, sat down on a stump and
laughed:
- Hello, fox Lariska! What is your tail shaking? scared that
whether? Didn't recognize me?
“Yes, I don’t admit something,” the fox Lariska said politely. - It seems you are not from
our forests.
- So it's me, hare Koska!
- Your eyes are not the same. The hare Koska never has such eyes.
was.
- Well, these are my magic glasses! - the hare Koska put on airs. - I am now
I see through everything and everyone. Tell me, what kind of skin do you have?
- Red, what else.
- And here is not a redhead, - said the hare Koska. - You have a pink skin, here
which!
The fox Lariska was frightened - what is it, he thinks, my skin has begun to deteriorate,
whether? Oh, it was not for nothing that my head ached yesterday, not for good.
“Yes, maybe you are mistaken,” she said to Koska the hare in order to test him.
Maybe your glasses are wrong?
- Correct, correct! Koska said. - I am not only your skin, but all
I see right through you!
- It can't be.
- Maybe, maybe! Here I look, I look, you ate two mice for breakfast. I have them in
I see my stomach. One of them moves its paws and scratches your side.
The hare Koska, of course, deceived the fox Lariska, he doesn’t have any mice in his stomach
I saw, and spied in the morning how their fox Lariska ate. But she didn't know about
this, I believed. And even it seemed to her that something was really scratching inside.
Just in case, she moved even further away, shouted from there:
- What else can your glasses do?
- Everyone can! - said the hare Koska. - Sky repaint, everything about everyone
learn. Do you want me to tell you who is doing what now? Beaver Borka Dam
builds, the bear Potap drives away the fly from the nose, the hedgehog Kiryuha catches the beetle, the raccoon Eroha
washes his shirt in the stream. And along the edge of the forest the hunter is walking, looking for your trail, going
to make a collar out of your skin.
“Oh, I’ll run, hare Koska,” said the fox Lariska. - I chatted with
you, and I have a lot to do ...
- Yes, run, - the hare Koska agreed. - Just look, don't be tricky with me.
more, otherwise it will be bad for you.
- What are you, what are you, hare Koska! I have always respected you for your mind and
bravery. And if something was wrong before, forgive me, the error came out.
The fox ran away. And the hare Koska went further. He walks and sees: badger Pahom on
sits in a mound near the house, threading a needle. And the needle is small, the thread
doesn't go at all. He will bring it to the very nose, and move it away - no, not
goes.
- Hello, badger Pahom, - said the hare Koska. - What are you, fly
catch, right?
- No, what flies! Here he was going to sew mittens, but there was no way to thread a needle
I won't. Became nearsighted.
- Well, this is us now! - said the hare Koska. He took a thread, aimed at the ear
needles, once - and you're done. Badger Pahom was even surprised:
- You're good at it!
- And these are my magic glasses. They can do everything!
And went on. Soon everyone in the forest learned that Koska the hare had magic glasses.
- they see everything inside and out, thread the needles, repaint the sky, water
turn into ink. The bear Potap, the squirrel Lenka, and the raccoon ran to the clearing
Erokha, elk, deer, two roe deer. Even the mole Prokop got out, although in the sun and
didn't see anything. And the hare Koska climbed a pine stump, twisted his mustache,
boasts:
I see everyone, I see everything! A truck is moving beyond the river, carrying hay - I see it. IN
The ship is sailing in the ocean, the sailors are washing the deck - I see. Launched a rocket into space
flies to Mars - I see!
Of course, the hare Koska did not see any of this, he invented everything. Why
no one could check, well, they believed.
And when things went towards evening, the hare Koska wanted to eat. He descended from
hemp and gone rabbit cabbage search.
I found, looked, cabbage seems to be like cabbage, but for some reason not green,
and pink. “Probably, she’s spoiled,” thought the hare Koska. “I won’t eat,
I’ll look for another one.” I found another one, and it’s also pink. “All the cabbages in the forest got sick,
he decided. “I’d rather nibble on the aspen.” I found an aspen, and it is also pink.
He ran and ran, the sun was already down behind the tops of the trees, and not a green
cabbage, no green aspen, no green grass. There is an owl on the old
oak woke up - he sleeps all day, but only gets up at night, - he rubbed his eyes,
sees a hare sitting in a clearing, almost crying.
- What are you talking about nurses? - asked the owl Semka.
- Yes, I go hungry, no green cabbage, no green aspen, no green
I can't find herbs. Everything is pink.
- Stupid you, hare Koska, - the owl laughed. - You will never find
nothing green because you have rose-colored glasses on your nose. They all
repaint. Give them to me.
And Koska the hare was already tired of glasses, his nose was rubbed. "Well, them," he thought.
he - they are not magical at all.
And gave points.
Since then, their owl Semka wears. His eyes are already so big, but with glasses on
bicycle wheels have become similar. He sits at night on an old oak, shouting
lingering throughout the forest:
- U-u-u-u-u-u!
This is what he wants to say: "Wow, what wonderful glasses I have!" But
only he cannot pronounce all the words, so he draws one letter:
- Wu-u-u!

Hare Koska and Rodnichok

The hare Koska lived in our Bryansk forest - gray skin, long ears, eyes
black and mows everything on the sides. Because Koska was a very young hare and
I tried to find out everything - who, what, and why. All day he ran through the woods and
meadows, bothered me with all my questions. Bunny mom worries, for lunch
calls, but he is not there and is not there, looking for something somewhere.
Once a hare found Koska Rodnichok - a small hole under the willow, and from it
water flows, murmurs. I watched Koska for a long time, I thought - what could it be
be? And then he says:
- Listen, let's get acquainted. Who are you?
“I am Rodnichok,” said Rodnichok.
- And I'm Koska the hare.
“Well, hello, hare Koska,” Rodnichok said politely. - Glad to be with you
познакомиться.
- Listen, where are you from? Rodnichok, did you get it? Do you have a house in the ground?
“Yeah,” Rodnichok said.
- What are you going to do?
Yes, I want to travel. I'll run and see what's next, more
further and far, far away.
- Ha-ha! laughed the hare Koska. - How are you going to travel?
if you don't have legs?
“Yes, somehow,” Rodnichok said. - I'll try.
- You know? Koska said. - Let's race. Who is next.
“Come on,” Rodnichok agreed. - Well, did you run?
And darted into the grass. And the hare Koska also jumped - lope and lope. But here he
the reeds were caught, so thick that they couldn’t get through. Koska had to bypass
run. A spring from the reeds to the lake, from the lake to the willow forest, from the willow forest to the alder forest
- He chooses his own path.
The sun has already begun to bake, the hare Koska is tired, he thinks - well, lagged behind,
Maybe. Spring, where he can race with a hare! But just in case
decided to check, called:
- Hey, Rodnichok, where are you?
- And here I am, - murmured the Spring from the alder thickets. - I'm running!
- Aren't you tired?
- Not tired.
"And you don't want to have lunch?"
- Don't want.
- Well, then let's move on.
The hare Koska looks - the big river is ahead. "Well," Koska thinks, "here
for sure the end of Rodnichka, will eat it big river. That's what he needs, there's nothing to
run bunnies! And I'll go home." But before going home, I decided
he shout:
- Hey, Rodnichok, where are you?
- And here I am, - answered Rodnichok from the river.
- Where are you, if there is a whole river?
- And I united with other fontanels. We are now running together. catch up!
It was terribly insulting for the hare Koska - how is it so. A fontanel without legs, and his
overtaken and still scoffs? Well, no, Koska decided, I’ll run all night, and
overtake!
And he ran, as much as he could, along the river bank. Evening has come - running, night
came - runs. And running in the dark is bad. And the skin of a hare Koska on the bushes
skinned, and hurt his leg with a thorn, and hurt his nose painfully when he got into the hole.
Koska was completely exhausted, barely alive. But then the morning came, it began to dawn,
the fog rose from the river, then turned into a cloud. I tried the hare Koska
his voice is hoarse, but nothing, you can talk.
- Hey, Rodnichok, where are you? he shouted.
“Here I am,” a voice said from above.
Koska looked at the vine bush - there is no Rodnichka there, he looked at the top
no oak either. Only a cloud floats in the sky.
- Yes, where are you? Koska was surprised.
“And here I am,” said the cloud. - In the afternoon the sun warmed me, at dawn I
became a mist, and now it has turned into a cloud.
- So you know how to fly?
- And I can fly. Well, how can we move on?
- I'll go home, - said the hare Koska. - You have no legs, but you run,
You don't have wings, but you fly. I won't race with you!
- Then good bye! Rodnichok laughed.
- Farewell, - said the hare Koska. - You will fly away to unknown lands, I will not see
I'm bigger than you.
- You'll see! - Rodnichok promised and flew like a cloud to distant lands.
And Koska went home. The hare mother severely reprimanded him for
I ran all night, my sister showed her tongue, and her brother gave a slap on the back of the head. And the hare became
Koska again live, live, learn about everything - who, what, and why. And when
summer turned to autumn, Koska went to the familiar rakita - give, he thinks, on
I’ll look at Rodnichkov’s house, it’s empty. Came - and from the hole under the willow Rodnichok
runs out. It was like he hadn't been anywhere.
- It's you? - the hare Koska was surprised.
- I, - said Rodnichok. - Hello.
- How did you get back?
- And so he returned, - said Rodnichok. - From the stream to the river, from the river to
fog, from fog to cloud. I flew, flew, to the meadows, to the fields and forests
I've seen enough, I've seen different animals. Then it became cold at the top, I turned
in the rain, fell to the ground, washed your hair, Koska the hare, and went home underground.
Now I have decided to travel again. Well, how, shall we run a race?
- No, - said the hare Koska, - I won’t run a race with you anymore.
will. I'd rather go to the gardens, maybe auntie forgot the carrot there.
This is how the dispute between the hare Koska and Rodnichko ended. And then winter came.
Koska shed and turned from gray to white. And Rodnichok from the cloud with snow for the second time
returned, for a while, until spring, turned into a snowdrift. So do not distinguish
now immediately - where is Rodnichok, and where is Koska the hare.
Both became white.

How the hare Koska watered the cabbage

It hasn't rained in the forest for a long time. Everything is hot and hot. A hot day, two hot days, a week.
Cabbage began to dry in the hare garden. That's what the mother bunny says:
- Take you, Koska, a bucket and fields of a bed. And then we will not have cabbage.
Hare Koska was very fond of cabbage and wanted it to grow
high-high, tasty-tasty. He took a bucket, hung it on his left paw,
swings his right hand on the move and sings a song:
If it doesn't rain -
Boom, boom! -
That cabbage does not grow -
Boom, boom!
To give water to cabbage -
Boom, boom! -
We need to water the beds -
Boom, boom!
The badger Pahom saw him and asked:
- What are you, hare Koska, such a cheerful one? Are you going to visit?
- No, badger Pahom, I'm working. Our cabbage dries, I will water it, to
I'm walking on the lake.
Badger Pakhom was bored. From the heat, all the animals sat in their homes,
nothing interesting to hear in the forest. And he decided to play a trick on the hare Koska:
- And why are you, - says the badger Pahom, - are you going with a bucket?
- Yes, to carry water! What an ignorant you are.
The badger Pahom laughed:
“You don’t know the current order,” he says. Everything is in our forest
has changed. Now, when the beds are watered, they carry water not in a bucket, but in a sieve.
Because the bucket is heavy and the sieve is light.
Hare Koska had never watered the beds before, he didn’t carry water and immediately
believed. Since it, he thinks, is easier with a sieve, it is even better. One bad thing - a bucket
there is it, here it is, hanging on the paw, but there is no sieve.
- So I'll give you a sieve, - says the badger Pahom. - You will give me a bucket, and
I'm your sieve.
Hare Koska gave the bucket to the badger, took the old sieve - in fact, immediately
easier. The hare Koska was delighted, goes on and sings:
I carry water not in a bucket -
Boom, boom! -
I carry water with a sieve -
Boom, boom!
Far, near
Boom, boom! -
The sieve is easy to carry -
Boom, boom!
The hare Koska scooped up water from the lake, carried it. Well, there are a lot of holes in the sieve, water
follows. And Koska only rejoices that it is easy, sings songs and nothing
notices. By the time I got to the beds, there were only a few drops of water left.
He shook them out on the beds and again to the lake. And the badger Pahom sits, looks at
holding him by the stomach from laughter.
- Well, how, hare Koska, is it good to carry water with a sieve?
- Easily! Koska rejoices. - Thank you for teaching me!
So he carried water with a sieve until evening. At dinner, the hare mother asked
him:
- Well, how, Koska, watered the beds?
- Watered, watered! Koska said.
In the morning, the hare mother looked at the beds, and they were dry. Completely dies
cabbage. She called Koska and asked angrily:
Why did you deceive me?
- I did not deceive, - said the hare Koska. I carried water all day.
- What did you wear?
- A sieve. The badger Pahom taught me.
“Woe is mine, woe,” sighed the hare mother. - The badger deceived you,
laughed at you. Water is carried in buckets, and flour is sifted with a sieve.
The hare Koska got angry, went to the badger, said:
- On your sieve, give me my bucket! You deceived me, I will not be with you
be friends.
“So I was joking,” said the badger. - This is science for you - when you take on
matter, not only listen to others, but also think for yourself.
- Okay, I'll take revenge on you! - said the hare Koska.
And he began to carry water in a bucket. A bucket, of course, is heavier than a sieve, carry water in
it is difficult for him, but it does not flow out. He watered all the beds. Cabbage
rejoiced, immediately lifted the leaves, turned green, began to grow.
- Well done to me, Koska, - praised the hare mother. - You know how to work.
And she let the hare Koska go for a walk.

How the hare Koska caught the fox Lariska

Once the hare Koska found out that the fox Lariska was going to eat him. That's her
squirrel Lenka admitted: "I can't get you, squirrel Lenka, you're on the trees
you jump. And I will definitely eat the hare Koska, he walks the earth.
At first, the hare Koska was frightened, he sat at home for three days and trembled with fear. A
then he thought: "I'm a smart hare, I'll soon learn to count to three. I'll catch it myself
fox Lariska!"
How to catch her?
The hare Koska thought and thought and came up with: he would track down the fox, find out by what
On the way, she goes hunting, and digs a hole there. But first he is with the hedgehog Kiryuha
consulted.
- Hee hee! - hedgehog Kiryuha rubbed paw on paw. - Well, you came up with it, so she, the fox Lariska, needs it! Just a deep swarm hole, got it?
“Understood,” said the hare Koska. - And what to dig?
- It is you who consult with the mole Prokop, he is the chief master in such matters
forest.
The hare Koska found out which road the fox Lariska goes hunting, saw
a place on the turn for a hole. Very good place, not to be missed.
Then he went to the mole Prokop, begged for a shovel. And he began to dig. Five minutes
digs - nothing. Ten minutes of digging - hard, but still nothing. And through
Fifteen minutes is quite boring. “Come on,” thinks the hare Koska, “and so
enough. For the sake of the fox Lariska, I will stuff calluses!"
He took the shovel to the mole Prokop and thanked him. A hole on top with dry twigs
abandoned, disguised. And he himself sat down on the other side of the hole in order to see how
the fox Lariska will fail.
And then the fox Lariska wanted to eat, went hunting. She stretched for
warm-ups, fluffed her tail and only took five steps - she sees: the hare Koska is under
sits in a bush. "Aha," the fox Lariska said quietly, "now the hare has got caught,
won't run away!" And she wanted to catch him so quickly that every
she forgot caution, ran, not looking at her feet.
Wow! - and the fox Lariska fell into the hole. At first I was scared, I thought
the hunter is coming. And then he sees - a very shallow hole, jump out
Can. “Hey,” she guessed, “it’s not otherwise the lazy hare Koska was digging. Well,
I'll deceive you!"
She settled herself comfortably in the hole, curled up and began to talk.
sweet voice:
- Oh, what a wonderful TV! Color!
Hare Koska heard about a color TV and stretched his neck - very much to him
became interesting. And the fox again:
- Oh, what a wonderful program - about a hare that flies into space!
Here Koska could not restrain himself, he took two steps towards the hole. The fox Lariska looked,
rejoiced and even more sweetly says:
- Ah, ah, a hare is flying straight to the stars! Ah, ah, he already has weightlessness!
Koska forgot about the fox, one thing on his mind is to look at the color
TV, like a hare flies to the stars and endures weightlessness. And three more steps
he made to the hole. And two more. Fox Lariska has already sharpened her claws. But here is a hedgehog
Kiryukha rolled out onto the path, put needles in the nose of the hare Koska, asked:
- Where are you going?
- Color TV in the hole to watch - says Koska. - like a hare in
flies in space.
- Stupid you - said the hedgehog Kiryuha. - And he dug a shallow hole, and himself to the fox
You're going to Lariska's teeth. Well, did you see the TV when you were digging the hole?
- Did not see.
- So where did he come from?
“I don’t know,” said Koska the hare.
- Run, hare Koska, go home, save the skin before it's too late.
Hare Koska did just that. And the fox Lariska got terribly angry, got out of
pits and says:
- I wanted to eat the hare Koska, but you, the hedgehog Kiryuha, prevented me. Have to
bite you.
- Well, well, have a bite! - hedgehog Kiryuha laughed and curled up.
The fox will go in from one side, and from the other - everywhere only on thorns
stumbles. So she didn’t succeed, she went to look for another dinner.
And the hare Koska, for saving him from the fox Lariska, gave him before autumn
hedgehog Kiryuha big red apple. I ran specially to the village in the garden. But
only sometimes he still thinks when he is very bored - what if there, in the pit, on
was there really a color TV and a hare flew into space?
Still, he is stupid, this hare Koska!

Koska the cyclist

Thought, thought the hare Koska - where would he go? I was on the river, Samson's catfish
I saw, I was by the lake, I talked with the squirrel Lenka, I was under a big pine tree, with a hedgehog
Kiryukhoy argued - which is better, cabbage or mushrooms? And he thought - I'll go around
I’ll take a walk in the village, maybe I’ll meet Kuzya the goat, if his dogs haven’t eaten it.
But the mother of the goat Kuzya was locked in the barn as a punishment: in the morning he went to the garden
climbed in and spoiled a lot of cucumbers with his hooves. So they didn't let him in
walk. The hare Koska never saw him. But he found it broken
the bike that the guys left under the hill.
He dragged the bike to his forest. Where on the back, where dragged, where how.
Tired, then poured himself, but did not quit, and immediately went to the bear Potap,
asked:
- Fix me a bicycle, Potap bear. You can do everything!
- Um-um-um, - the bear chuckled good-naturedly, - everyone can be able to, if
loves work. And where did you get it?
I found it in a hole under a hill.
- Well, okay, leave it for now, I'll fix it tomorrow.
The bear is kind and loves work. In the morning he collected pliers, wire cutters,
adjustable wrenches, nuts, pliers and began to repair the bicycle. And not to be bored
works and sings a song:
I'm fixing a bike
I wipe with oil
Will he go or not
I do not know anything.
Two legs and two arms
Everyone in the world has
Only often bruises
Children are kicking.
To race past the moat,
To come down from the mountain
Bunny needs first
Learn to ride.
The Potap bear repaired the bike, it became like new - the steering wheel shines,
needles shine. The hare took the bike, thanked politely:
- Thank you, bear Potap. I'll bring you raspberries.
- Um-um-um, - said the bear Potap. - You'd better bring me oats. Raspberries
there are a lot of me in the garden, I'm tired.
The hare Koska led the bicycle onto the road. And of course he can't drive.
He jumped on the bike to the left, blurted out to the right, bruised. jumped right,
blurted out to the left, got another bruise. He went to Pakhom the badger and Erokha the raccoon,
asked:
- Help me get on the bike, then I'll go myself. And then you
ride.
The badger Pahom took the wheel on one side, the raccoon Erokha on the other side,
hold the bike tight. Hare Koska sat on the saddle, hind legs on the pedals
put it, grabbed the steering wheel with the front. Well done!
- Well, now let go, - he shouted, - I'll go myself!
A badger and a raccoon jumped back, released the steering wheel. The hare Koska drove two steps and
fell again. He realized then that getting on a bicycle is half the battle, you still need to
learn to ride.
“Help me sit down and ride,” he asked the badger and the raccoon. - But as
I will learn, I will ride you from morning to evening, at least I will take you to Moscow.
Again the badger Pahom and the raccoon Erokha took the wheel, helped the hare to sit down.
Go! They lead the bike, do not let it fall, and the hare Koska pedals.
Nothing, little by little it began to turn out. The main thing, the hare understood, is that balance
it is necessary to observe, to act correctly with the steering wheel: if the bicycle falls to the left, then
and the steering wheel must be turned to the left, if it falls to the right, then the steering wheel to the right.
- Well, okay, we went home, - said the badger and the raccoon. - You can already
a little, then study yourself. Don't take us to Moscow, we're afraid of cars.
The hare Koska began to finish his studies alone. Jump on a bike, ride a little -
will fall. He will get up, jump up again, drive a little - and fall again. Skin and
greened with grass, and soiled with earth, and covered with sand, but still learning.
It’s always like this on a bike - who is afraid to fall and tears from every bruise
smears his cheeks, he will never learn to ride.
Hare Koska was not afraid of bruises and did not like to whimper. And things went to him
fret. By evening, he could already sit down and turn the pedals, and even though he still had a steering wheel
wobbled, nevertheless he drove himself along the road to the river.
At night, the hare Koska slept well, in the morning he did physical exercises,
washed up, had breakfast, put on a checkered cap, wrapped a yellow scarf around his neck and
went to ride.
And towards - fox Lariska. She saw - right at her cyclist
rushing about, a cap with a visor on the back of his head, a yellow scarf fluttering in the wind.
She got scared, fell into a ditch, hid. But the hare Koska noticed her,
stopped, one foot on the ground, the other on the pedal.
- Hello, fox Lariska! - he said. - What are you lying in a ditch,
broke your leg, didn't you?
- So it's you, hare Koska? - the fox Lariska was surprised.
- I am! - said the hare. - I bought a bicycle. I will go to Moscow
eat ice cream and drink sparkling water.
- Oh, you would take me too, hare Koska! - the fox Lariska began to ask. - Though
on the trunk. Never ate ice cream, never drank soda.
- No, I won't take you, fox Lariska. Because you're a liar, you can't
believe you. Put you on the trunk, and you will jump on your neck ...
And the hare Koska rolled down the hill even faster. Lisa Lariska only tongue to him
after showed from anger. And she went to the wolf Bakula, began to complain that the hare
Koska rides a bicycle throughout the forest, there is no passage from him, he can crush him.
"It's time for you, Bakula wolf, to eat Koska the hare," she said. - And then he
somehow the wheel will crush your paw.
- I don't walk on the roads. I'm in the bushes and ravines.
- I would have been sorry, we suffered together on the Yellow Hill.
- Well, him, this hare Koska! grumbled the wolf Bakula. - You say it yourself
he rides a bicycle, you can still swallow a spoke or a gear. He bothers you
and catch him.
“But how can I catch him if I can’t catch up!”
- What do I care...
The fox Lariska got angry at the wolf Bakula, but did not say anything. I was afraid
and walked silently. And on the way she caught Sofka forty. She flew from the birch to
dry pine branch, chattered:
- Hello, fox Lariska! I flew not far, not close, I was in the village,
drank sparrow eggs. The stork hatched six storks, they sit in the nest, boogers
are eating! The girl washed her feet in the river, she missed her shoes, the tractor drove hay from the meadow,
the asphalt was contaminated, the boy Vovka got on a bicycle, he wanted to travel around the world, and
fell into a ditch...
- Stop, stop! - said the fox Lariska. - We now have a hare Koska too
he rides a bicycle, there is no rest from him. Do you know how to catch him?
- I fly everywhere, I know everything! - the magpie Sofka crackled again. - like hay
how to mow, how to carry water, how to chop wood, how to weed carrots, like fish
catch, how to cook porridge ...
- Yes stop you, - the fox Lariska has lost patience. - I don't have hay.
mow, do not carry water, do not chop wood, do not weed carrots. I have a hare Koska
must be caught.
And again the magpie chattered:
- The forester builds a house, chips around; steal a plank, look for nails, do not be sorry
work, fill in two rows, put it on the path, lie down under a bush. A hare will run into
A pigtail on nails, a bicycle tire will be punctured, it will fall to the ground on its own.
Forty Sofka thought and added:
- Only it will be hooliganism.
But the fox Lariska no longer listened to her, she went home. And how the sun has set and it's dark
it became, she ran to the forester's house and pulled off the plank, then to the village to the smithy
went and stole twelve nails and a hammer. In the morning I put the plank on the stump,
started hammering nails. Well, she held the hammer for the first time, handle it
she didn’t know how - once she hits a nail, once her paw. And what to do? whine from
pain, lick his paw, and again for his own.
She hammered in nails, took a plank, chose a convenient path at the turn of the path.
place and put. She herself sat down nearby - now, she thinks, the hare Koska will run into
plank, his tire will be punctured, he will flop to the ground, and she will grab him and
eat.
The fox Lariska lay all morning and half of the day - there was no hare Koska, but
rode other roads. And at noon the song was heard:
Never am I afraid
Late for dinner.
I won't fall into a ditch
I won't go into the hole.
I run all day
ringing the bell
Far and close.
The wolf won't catch me
And the fox Lariska!
“Aha,” thinks the fox Lariska, “this hare Koska boasted again. Well,
you don’t have long to put on airs and sing songs left, now the tire will puncture,
you will plop down on the road and right into my paws. The end has come for you, hare
Koska, unfortunate braggart!"
And the hare Koska knows nothing, rushes downhill and presses the pedals,
flies like the wind. And now he drives up to the plank with nails. The fox couldn't resist
Lariska crawled out onto the road to immediately rush at the hare.
And he rides and rides. It flew straight, pressed the plank into the ground, the fox paw and
the tail moved with wheels - and that was it.
The tire didn't burst.
The fox Lariska whined in pain, went to search for Sofka to scold
her. But where can you find her, if she flies somewhere all the time? Only for the third
or the fourth day the fox met her, began to scold:
- You are a liar and a liar, chatterbox-balabolka! She said that on a board with
the tire will be pierced by nails, but it has not been punctured. The hare Koska crushed me
wheeled paw and tail.
- Did you put nails with a sharp end down or up?
- Down, down! As she scored, so she bet.
- Stupid you, fox Lariska, - forty Sofka chattered. - Stupid, stupid
stupid! It was necessary to put the sharp end not down, but up. Stupid, stupid!
And flew to the village to collect gossip.
And the hare Koska rode a bicycle and a badger, and a raccoon, and a hedgehog Kiryuha. All
were very pleased. He also wanted to ride the reindeer Leshka, but he said:
- Ugh, your bike smells like engine oil. Come on, we're with you
we will arrange a competition - who will rush to the lake faster?
Hare Koska immediately agreed. He jumped on a bicycle and drove through the forest
path. And the deer Leshka already runs very fast, and then he chose the path
straight through the forest. And no matter how hard the hare tries, the deer is somewhere ahead
teases:
- Let's press, twist-twist!
It was a shame for the hare Koska, he flies and no longer understands the road. Jumped out on
shore, and there is an oak stump on the way. The hare Koska jumped on him in front
wheel and hit so hard that he flew over a vine bush, and the bicycle into the lake
- boom, and drowned.
Since then, Koska the hare has been walking again. And in the lake near the bike pike
she made a house for herself - the spokes shine, the steering wheel shines, she likes it very much!

Wire Hare

The hare Koska got up in the morning, washed his eyes with dew, looks - the weather is good.
The sun is shining, warm, the breeze is blowing, bees are buzzing on the flowers, honey
collect. “I’ll go for a walk,” Koska decided.
did not see".
There is a hare Koska, he hears - the birds sing. And I wanted to sing. Yes, here
the trouble is that he can’t remember a single song, he taught badly. I had to
compose:
And I'm walking through the forest
Trees in sight
And I'm walking through the forest
Maybe I'll find something!
He walks, sings, does not even look under his feet - he rejoices so much at his song. AND
accidentally stepped on a beetle. The beetle pinched his paw, began to swear:
- Are you sleeping on the go? You can’t see anything under your feet, you crushed my hand!
"I'm sorry," Koska said. - I accidentally. I compose a song.
“Well, sing,” the beetle asked.
And I walk through the forest
As the flowers grow, I look
How birds fly
Woodpeckers and tits!
“Good song,” said the beetle. - Correct. But the nightingale sings better. OK,
sing and you, just do not step on the hands of others.
But the hare Koska got sick of composing further. Silently goes. On the bank of the river
beaver saw Borka - Borka gnaws off a twig of vines on the other side and drags
her.
- Hello, beaver Borka, - said Koska. - What are you doing?
- Yes, I'm harvesting branches, I'm learning to build a dam.
- Do you have such a school?
- There is such a school, - said the beaver Borka. - We, beavers, all from childhood on
we study engineers, we need to be able to build dams in order to live better. At home
We learn lessons from the book, but here we go through practice.
- So do you have a house? - the hare Koska was surprised. - Something I have never
saw. I thought that you, like fish, live in the water.
- Well, I figured it out! Borka laughed. - You will also say - like fish! We have
Do you know what a big house is under the shore? Three rooms. Only the door is under him
water, you have to dive. Come visit me, shall we?
Hare Koska really wanted to visit the beaver Borka. But he is water
he was afraid, he swam badly, and he didn’t know how to dive at all. So he just sighed and
said:
- There is no time for me to visit guests now, beaver Borka. The hedgehog Kiryukha is waiting for me.
I'll come back next time, okay?
"All right," the beaver agreed.
And the hare Koska skipped ahead. Reached and sees - a hedgehog sits
Kiryukha is angry under the bush, his needles bristle and snort.
- Hello, hedgehog Kiryuha, - said Koska. - Are you sick, or what? I to you
I take my temperature, maybe you have the flu and chicken pox.
“I didn’t get sick,” answered the hedgehog Kiryuha. - It's me on the fox Lariska
angry, she wanted to eat me.
- So you have thorns! Curl up into a ball - and no one will eat you and
bite.
- It's dry. And push me into the water, I will immediately turn around to
not drown, and anyone can cling to his claws, because my stomach is without
spines. Lisa Lariska wanted to do just that.
And the hedgehog Kiryuha told how he collected snails near the river in the morning, yes
gape, and the fox Lariska is right there. The hedgehog curled up in a ball, exposed his
thorns - do not start. But the fox Lariska is also cunning, she became slowly,
in order not to prick himself, push the hedgehog Kiryukha to the water, roll it along the grass.
The hedgehog feels that his deeds are bad, disappears, but cannot do anything.
He can’t run, the fox will immediately turn upside down with his stomach. How to be? Good that
there was a sandy hill right in front of the shore, and it helped the hedgehog out - the fox will roll it
up to half, he will try to intercept with his paws, and he will slide back along the sand.
“Okay,” said the fox Lariska, having suffered, “I’ll take you, hedgehog Kiryuha, near the water
I'll watch when you come to drink in the heat. Then I'll definitely eat it!"
Here's the story with the hedgehog Kiryuha came out - he barely escaped and barely alive home
reached.
“We need to teach the fox Lariska a lesson,” said the hare Koska.
- It is necessary, it is necessary to teach the fox Lariska a lesson, - the hedgehog agreed. - And how to teach?
- But how?
- Let's think, - said the hedgehog Kiryuha.
- Yes, let's think, - the hare Koska agreed. They sat in the shade under a bush,
so that it was not so hot, and began to think. The hour has passed - they think. It's hot at all
it becomes time for dinner, and they all think. Sometimes they talk:
- Invented?
- Did not invent.
- Well, let's think further.
“We need to have lunch,” says Koska the hare. - And then I think about the fox Lariska,
but I see all the cabbage.
- No, let's not go to dinner, - the hedgehog did not agree. - How to eat, so sleep
I want to.
And so the dinner passed. The sun began to descend completely to the forest, to the most
the tops of the trees, as if it decided to look - what is this hedgehog and hare all sitting and
sitting? And the very long dark shadows from the firs and birches stretched out when the hedgehog
said:
- Invented! Near the old partisan pillbox there is a large skein of barbed
wire lies. Saw?
- I saw, - said the hare Koska.
- It is necessary that the fox Lariska gets on this wire with his stomach. spines
rusty, lots and lots of them. Here the fox Lariska will squeak!
- Yes, - said the hare Koska, - it will not hit. Why is she on the wire
rush up?
- And we will roll it into the grass under the bush, - said the hedgehog, - and on top of it
bunny ears fit. Lariska will think it's you, hare Koska, under a bush
you sit, and ka-ak jump!
- Yes, - said the hare Koska, - but where are you going to get the ears of the hare? My what
will you cut it? So I won't.
- We will make ears from birch bark, roll in resin, stick around with hare hair.
How real will be!
So we decided to do it. They ran, immediately had lunch and dinner, and in the morning for
the case was taken. Beaver Borka with its sharp teeth made of hare birch bark
he made the ears, the hedgehog Kiryukha smeared them with resin on a pine stump, and the hare Koska with wool
rolled - they have a lot left after the molt at home. After that they have half a day
they rolled barbed wire under a bush, scratched a little. Well, nothing, everything is like
gotta make it. They tied the hare's ears to the wire, and the hedgehog lay down below and
stirs them. From the side if you look - well, a real live hare in the grass
is sitting!
Before evening, the fox Lariska went hunting, he thinks - I'll catch a mouse, I'll have dinner
before bedtime. She goes and sees - hare ears stick out of the grass, move.
"Yeah," the fox Lariska laughed softly, "this, apparently, is the stupid hare Koska under
he fell asleep like a bush, only his ears are twitching from mosquitoes. That's how good -
I was going to catch a mouse, and now I'll eat a hare!
The fox Lariska dived into the grass, became, so as not to frighten away the hare, on her stomach
creep up. Closer, closer, closer. Yes, how to jump, and how to scream:
- Guard, kill!
It was she who hit the barbed wire with her stomach and paws. Hare Koska, who
sat behind the wall of the pillbox and looked, when he heard a scream, he was so frightened and
all legs ran home. And the hedgehog Kiryuha snorted and laughed:
- Yeah, the fox Lariska, got caught! You will know how to hedgehogs and hares
hunt!
And while the fox was licking his wounds, he also went home for dinner.
The hedgehog Kiryuha and the hare Koska were very pleased that they taught the fox Lariska a lesson.
They told everyone about it and everyone in the forest laughed. And the fox Lariska came
ragged home - there are scratches on the stomach and on the paws, a tuft is torn out of the tail.
- What are you, fighting with whom? her mother asked.
- No, I caught a wire hare! the fox Lariska whimpered.
“You are young and stupid,” said the mother. - No wire hares
It happens. Someone cheated on you.
So the hare Koska and the hedgehog Kiryuha took revenge on the fox Lariska. Since then she has been afraid
stood, saw hare ears above the grass, stopped and thought - what if this
wire rabbit? In the meantime, she stands and thinks, a real live hare will run away!

And all sorts of flowers grew on the grass - formidable tartar, straight-stemmed pink and white yarrows, clover stood out with its lush white head, some small white and yellow flowers pleased the eye, sometimes you could see delicate forget-me-nots.

• Once the Hare found an apple tree strewn with red apples in the thicket of the forest. He picked up ripe juicy apples in a basket and went home cheerful. He walks along the path, and Belka meets him. - Hello, Bunny! She happily waved her tail. - Wow, what apples! Where does this apple tree grow?

• Winter this year turned out to be so snowy that the Hedgehog almost never left his house. It was boring, of course, to sit like this at home alone and remember the fun summer days. It was sad not to see his friend, the Hare. But where will you go if the snow has filled up not only the doors, but even the window of the house? And get out...

Frost and a hare met somehow in the forest. Frost boasted: -I am the strongest in the forest. I will defeat anyone, freeze them, turn them into an icicle. -Don't brag, Frost, you won't win! - says the hare. - No, I'll win! - No, you won't win! - the hare stands on its own. They argued, argued, and Frost decided to freeze the hare. And says: ...

fairy tale about a hare for children

Once, in late autumn, when many birds flew south, and only furry quadrupeds and small titmouse remained in the forest, the bunny decided to strengthen the mink a little. During the summer, his rabbits grew up and fled in all directions, the hare moved to her house for the winter, and the hare was left alone. So he decided to do some repairs.

The days were dry and warm. Only at night the earth was disturbed by cold frosts, foreshadowing winter. It seemed that snow was about to fall, but it was not there. The sun did not bake, only doused the earth with warm rays. This has been enough for the forest dwellers so far. On deciduous trees there were no leaves at all: they all covered the ground with a carpet - red, yellow, orange ... Only the pines were evergreen.

Bunny, jumping on the edge, collected a few dry leaves. He carefully selected each leaf - evenly, more beautifully, without cuts and holes, in order to decorate the walls and level the floor. He liked this job. While he admired the play of flowers on the leaves, time flew by quickly. The bunny did not notice anything around. And in the bushes, resembling a large red maple leaf, a cunning fox lurked.

She licked her lips, looking at the fluffy bunny, looking forward to a delicious dinner. Her eyes shone greedily in the rays of the autumn sun, and her paws were preparing for a fatal jump. And so she jumped on the victim ...

Frightened, the bunny dropped all the collected leaves and jumped aside. A mouth of sharp fox teeth flew over his ears, disappearing into the nearby bushes. The bunny's heart was beating fast. Out of fear, he hid in a hole in the old oak, located at the base of the tree. He barely fit in it, leaving no chance for the fox to follow.

But the fox noticed the hare's maneuver. She sat down near the oak tree in ambush, waiting for the bunny to give up and leave his shelter. Bunny was terribly scared. It was necessary to somehow distract the cunning fox and run home.

From fear, the bunny's paws were taken away, tears dripped from the peephole. He remembered his whole life, a rainbow childhood under the protection of a hare mother. Out of the corner of his eye, the bunny noticed a black grouse watching what was happening with spruce branch. The black grouse did not like the impudent fox, but he did not even think of helping the bunny. The hare began to plaintively ask the black grouse to distract the fox. He promised him, in exchange for fresh nuts hidden in the cellar, wheat seeds collected in the summer in a clearing cultivated by a man. The black grouse liked the gifts offered by the hare, but he did not know how to distract the red fox, he was afraid to suffer from her sharp claws himself. Then the bunny thought him up. He suggested that the black grouse fall off the branch and pretend to be dead. The greedy fox will not be able to refuse such a treat and will immediately run after prey. The black grouse, sensing the approach of the fox, will soar up. He will hide in the forest, and the bunny, meanwhile, will leave his shelter and hide in a hole. So we decided.

The black grouse fell from the branch. The amazed fox turned its muzzle in surprise in the opposite direction from the hare, its eyes shone greedily, and it jumped on the bird. The black grouse, anticipating the approach of fox paws, took off into the clear autumn sky. Meanwhile, the hare jumped out of the shelter and ran home. The fox, realizing the deception, rushed after, but it was too late: the hare was too far away.

Running home, the bunny climbed into the cellar and took out the promised reward to the black grouse. When the hare crawled out of the hole, the black grouse was already waiting for him on a branch and was incredibly happy with the offered treat. After that, the hare and the black grouse became best friends. They often help each other.
