Hello, Teterevochek, my friend! As soon as I heard your voice, I came to visit you.

Thank you for your kind words, - said Teterev.

About the fairy tale

Fairy tale "Fox and black grouse"

Animal tales are one of the simplest types of Russian folk tale. The characters are animals. As a rule, these are the animals that a person often encountered by the nature of his activity, in contrast to where any animals (monkey, elephant, etc.) can be characters. The main characters in Russian fairy tales are most often a wolf, a fox, a bear and other animals of our region. Each of these characters is the bearer of one dominant character trait, which passes from one text to another. For example, in Russian fairy tales, the fox is usually cunning, the wolf is stupid. Therefore, everyone who is familiar with Russian national culture in general and a folk tale, as its embodiment, in particular, he can easily name many stories about how a fox outwitted someone, deceitfully achieved benefits for himself, etc. Most often, in the finale of the tale, all the intrigues of the red cheat are revealed, and she herself is punished. So it is in the fairy tale "The Fox and the Black Grouse", which tells about the fox's next attempt to get prey in an easy and, of course, not honest way.

Summary and main characters

The fox saw a black grouse on a tree and decided to beg him to go to the grass, for this she pretended that she could not hear the bird well. However, the wise black grouse did not agree to meet the fox, referring to the danger of being caught by the fox itself or other animals. The fox came up with a cunning trick to lure the black grouse - she told that a decree had been issued through the forest, according to which the animals should not touch each other, peace now reigns between them. The fox herself ran away as soon as she saw the running dogs. This time she failed to deceive anyone. Characters of characters become clear through their actions. The smallest reader can easily determine the selfish motive of the fox's behavior and attribute it to negative characters. Grouse as her opponent, respectively, will be considered positive actor, despite the fact that he does not take any active actions to plant goodness.

The fox pretended not to hear, and says:

What are you saying? I can not hear. You, black grouse, my friend, would go down to the grass for a walk, talk to me, otherwise I won’t hear from the tree.

Teterev said:

I'm afraid to go to the grass. It is dangerous for us birds to walk on the ground.

Or are you afraid of me? - said the fox.

Not you, so I'm afraid of other animals, - said the black grouse. - There are all kinds of animals.

No, black grouse, my friend, today the decree has been announced so that there will be peace throughout the earth. Now the animals do not touch each other.

That's good, - said the black grouse, - otherwise the dogs are running; if it were the old way, you would have to leave, but now you have nothing to fear.

The fox heard about the dogs, pricked up her ears and wanted to run.

Where are you? - said the grouse. - After all, now the decree, the dogs will not be touched.

And who knows! - said the fox. Maybe they didn't hear the order.

Once a black grouse was sitting on a tree branch when a fox approached him. Having greeted the bird, she pretended that she could not hear well and offered to go down to her.

But the smart black grouse answered the cunning passer-by that it is now dangerous for birds to move on the ground. Then the fox asked if he was afraid of her. And the calm black grouse denies this, answering that animals are different. But the red-haired prankster assures him that a peaceful decree has been issued stating that the animals now supposedly do not have the right to attack each other.

After that, the bird says that it is very good, because the dogs are not far away. Now they won't hurt the fox. And the cunning, hearing about the dogs, hesitated and ran away. Justifying herself by saying that she's not sure if the dogs have heard of the decree.

The tale warns that you should not trust everyone you meet, especially if he has a dubious reputation.
