Kindness
Negrey Denis 2-a
Once upon a time there was a boy. They gave him a kitten. The boy loved the kitten and played with it.
There was a large cactus on their window. Once a boy walked past a cactus and it pricked him. The boy felt pain and began to cry. In the evening, when the boy went to bed, the kitten decided to take revenge for his friend and bit off all the spines of the cactus. And the cactus turned out to be magical and turned the kitten into a hedgehog. When the boy woke up in the morning, he did not see the kitten and began to call him. But in response to his call, it was not a kitten that looked out from under the curtain, but a hedgehog. At first the boy was scared, but then he saw his sad eyes and felt sorry for the poor man. He poured milk into a saucer and placed it on the hedgehog. As soon as he started drinking, the needles began to fall off, and the kitten became the same as before.
This magical cactus took pity on the kitten for the boy’s kindness.

A fairy tale is a small miracle
Life in the world is boring without her,
Even when we are adults,
Then we won’t be able to forget the fairy tale.
There are many different fairy tales on the planet,
There is kindness and beauty in them,
Children rejoice in wise fairy tales,
They always make dreams come true!
Yes, many interesting fairy tales have been written. And even more unwritten fairy tales - good, kind, smart. On this page you will find fairy tales invented by little storytellers - children of preschool and primary school age. About whom? Of course, about animals. About what? About the most important things: about friendship, about kindness, about mutual assistance.
The children of my senior group (MK Preschool Educational Institution Pavlovsk kindergarten No. 8, Voronezh region) wrote (with a little help from me and their parents) several fairy tales, which we combined into a collection "Autumn Tales of the Magic Forest."
The children also came up with fairy-tale characters themselves and made illustrations for their fairy tales.
Autumn Tales of the Magic Forest
Saying or Let's get acquainted.
In one small Magic Forest there lived an old man named Lesovichok. He was very kind and wise. Lesovichok helped all forest dwellers. And there were a lot of them in the forest: Tortila the turtle, Thorn the hedgehog, Mrs. Katie the snake, Honey the bear, Jumpy the bunny, Owl the owl, Cutie the bird, Hitra the fox, Swan the swan. Lesovichok also made sure that people did not harm his forest: they did not litter, did not break trees, did not destroy birds’ nests, did not tear up primroses, and did not offend animals.
Berry jam
One day, Honey the Bear came to Lesovich, sad and very sad.
- What happened, Medok? - asked the old man - Why are you so sad?
— We quarreled with the cunning fox. I picked a whole basket of berries, and she ate them. And now we don’t talk to her.
"What to do? How to reconcile friends? - thought Lesovichok. He thought for a long time, but could not come up with anything. And then one day, when Lesovichok was putting things in order in the forest, he saw a whole clearing of wild berries. "Idea!" - he thought. The forest boy asked the little fox and the little bear to help him pick berries. It took them a long time to collect them. There were so many berries that the friends ate enough and collected full baskets. And then everyone drank tea with berry jam. And the rest of the forest inhabitants were invited to visit Lesovich. And so we made peace!
Mrs. Katie has found a friend.
Mrs. Katie, a long pink snake, lived in a cozy hole under a snag. She wore a cute pink hat with a yellow flower and was very proud of it. Every morning Mrs. Katie crawled out of her hole and basked in the sun. She also loved to crawl on the fallen autumn leaves, because they rustled so merrily! Mrs. Katie was very kind, but no one knew about it. All forest dwellers were afraid of the snake and avoided its hole. This upset Mrs. Katie, because she so wanted to have a real friend!
And then one day, when Katie, as usual, was basking alone in the sun, she suddenly heard someone crying pitifully. The snake quickly crawled to where the crying was coming from, and suddenly saw that the cunning fox had fallen into a deep hole. She could not get out and cried bitterly.
“Don’t cry,” the snake shouted to the frightened fox, “Now I’ll get you out!” Mrs. Katie lowered her long tail into the hole. “Hold on tight to my tail,” she shouted to the fox. The cunning fox grabbed the snake by the tail, and it crawled. It was difficult for the snake because the fox was very heavy. But Katie coped with this difficult task. Since then, the snake Katie and the fox Khitra have become fast friends. Now they were happily rustling the autumn leaves together and basking in the sun.
How the little bear became polite
In the thickest part of the forest, in a den, lived a bear cub named Medok. He had a terrible sweet tooth! But most of all he loved honey. For this, the bear cub was nicknamed Medkom. One day, when the little bear had run out of honey, he went to the wild bees who lived in a large hive on a tree. The honey climbed up the tree, looked into the hive, then stuck his paw there and scooped up a whole handful of honey. The bees got angry at him, and let's bite the impudent thief! The bear cub started to run as fast as he could, but the bees were faster. They caught up with Medok and started biting him, saying: “Don’t take someone else’s!” Medok returned to the den empty-handed. The little bear thought and decided that he should go for honey when the bees were not at home. He waited until the bees flew to the clearing to collect nectar and climbed into the hive. Honey did not even suspect that there were guard bees left in the hive, who immediately rushed to the sweet tooth. The bear cub barely carried his feet away.
Honey sits on a tree stump and cries.
- Why are you crying? - asked Lesovichok, who was passing by.
“I wanted to take honey from the bees, but they don’t give it back, they just bite.” Do you know how painful it is!
- Take? Without asking? Now I understand why the bees were angry with you. Next time, just ask them for honey, but you have to ask very politely. And don’t forget about the magic word “please.” The next day Medok went to the hive again. He was very afraid that the bees would bite him again, but gathering all his courage, he asked as politely as he could: “Dear bees, please give me a little of your delicious honey.” And then a miracle happened: the bees did not attack the bear cub, but flew into the hive and flew out with a large deck of honey! “Please, help yourself!” — the happy bees buzzed. Since then, the little bear has never forgotten to say the magic word “please”!
Tea party
Once upon a time there lived in the forest a little bunny named Jumpy. One day he thought: “I’m tired of eating this grass! I'll go and look for something tasty. It would be nice to find a sweet carrot!” The bunny smiled, remembering how she herself prepared carrot salad for him in the morning and licked his lips. At the edge of the forest where the bunny lived, carrots did not grow, and Jumpy went in search of them in the thicket of the forest. There were such large trees here that the sun's rays had difficulty breaking through the branches. The little jumper became scared, he even wanted to cry. And then he saw someone's den. The bear cub Medok came out of the den and asked the bunny:
- How are you, buddy? What are you doing so far from home?
“I’m looking for a carrot,” answered Jumpy.
- What are you saying, buddy, carrots don’t grow in the forest.
- It’s a pity, but I really want something sweet.
- It doesn’t matter, I have a whole deck of fragrant sweet honey. Come visit me and drink tea with honey.
The bunny agreed with pleasure. And after the tea party, the little bear accompanied Jumpy all the way to the house so that the bunny wouldn’t be scared!
Prickly defender.
A gray hedgehog, Thorn, lived in a hole under a large stump. They called him that because he had terribly sharp needles. Just real thorns! Because of them, no one wanted to play with the hedgehog: everyone was afraid of pricking themselves.
One day, an angry, hungry wolf appeared in the Magic Forest. He saw the Bunny Bunny and began to carefully creep up to him. This was noticed by a hedgehog who was sitting on a stump and feeling sad. The hedgehog immediately curled up into a ball and rolled right under the wolf’s feet. The wolf yelped in pain and jumped to the side. The hedgehog rolled after the wolf. He stabbed the wolf with his sharp needles again and again until he ran away from their Magic Forest.
It’s so good that you have such sharp needles,” said the bunny Jumpy, who came up to thank the hedgehog. “If it weren’t for you and your thorns, a wolf would have eaten me.”
All the forest inhabitants were glad that the hedgehog saved Jumpy. And Lesovichok asked the hedgehog to become a protector of the forest inhabitants and protect everyone from the evil wolf. And the wolf, remembering the sharp needles of the hedgehog, never appeared in the Magic Forest again.
Owl
An owl, Sovushka, lived in the Magic Forest. She was very young, so not very wise. One day, she woke up and saw that wild ducks were getting ready to fly away somewhere.
The owl was very surprised.
-Where are they going to fly? – Sovushka asked Lesovich.
“It’s time for wild ducks to fly to warmer lands,” Lesovichok answered her. “It’s warm there and there’s plenty of food for them.”
- Wow! I need to fly there too, since it’s so good!
The owl asked the ducks to take her into their flock. The ducks agreed. The next morning, the ducks waited a long time for the owl, but she never came. Without waiting for Owl, they flew away without her. It turns out that Sovushka overslept. After all, owls are nocturnal birds: they wake up at night, go to bed in the morning and sleep until the evening. So the Owl remained to spend the winter in the Magic Forest! But she had a good time here too!
Turtle Tortila and her friends.
Tortila the turtle lived on the shore of a forest pond. Every day she slowly crawled along the shore, and when she got scared or wanted to sleep, she pulled her little head and paws into her shell. The turtle's life was boring and monotonous. She had no friends and felt very lonely. One day, early in the morning, a turtle, warming itself under the rays of the sun, lay on the shore and a ringing song could be heard from afar:
The sun has risen, have fun!
Morning has come, cheer up!
The bunny woke up and had fun!
Smiled at everyone and had fun!
Soon the gray bunny, Jumpy, ran up to the turtle and greeted her with the words:
-Good morning!
-Kind! she answered him.
- What a funny song you have!
- Do you want us to sing it together?
And they sang loudly:
The sun has risen, have fun!
Morning has come, cheer up!
Everyone smiled and had fun!
The hedgehog, Thorn, who was picking mushrooms, heard a cheerful song and hurried to the forest pond.
- Hello, greeted Tortilla Thorn and Jumpy.
- What a funny song you have! Can I sing it with you?
- Certainly! The three of us will have more fun!
And they sang together:
The sun has risen, have fun!
Morning has come, cheer up!
We've already woken up and are having fun!
Everyone smiled and had fun!
To their cheerful song, the swan Swan swam to the shore.
- What a friendly company you have and a funny song! he said.
“Let’s all sing together,” suggested Jumpy.
Suddenly, everyone heard someone crying under a bush.
Everyone hurried there and saw the little bird Cutie.
- Why are you crying so bitterly? - Tortila asked her.
“I’m in trouble,” she answered. The wind rose and I accidentally fell out of the nest. I don’t know how to fly yet, and I don’t know how to get back. - Sit on my wing, and I will take you to your nest. The cutie did just that. The little swan took off and delivered the chick to its place. Cutie Swan thanked her and waved her wing. And all the friends sang their favorite song:
The sun has risen, have fun!
Morning has come, cheer up!
We've already woken up and are having fun!
Everyone smiled and had fun!
Let's be friends together
Give happiness, joy, kindness!
The turtle was very glad that she had so many wonderful friends. The time spent with them was the most wonderful time for her.
I couldn’t resist and composed a fairy tale about the bird Cutie. True, the idea for the plot was suggested to me by my children.
Sore throat
In the Magic Forest there grew a big old tree. On one of the branches of this tree there was a small nest made of feathers and blades of grass. A bird called Cutie lived in this nest. Cutie woke up early: earlier than all the forest inhabitants and began to sing her cheerful song. Every morning, Cutie flew over the Magic Forest and sang so loudly and joyfully that all the forest inhabitants were in high spirits. The songs of this little bird made everyone feel good and joyful in their souls, and this made everyone kinder.
One day, one gloomy autumn morning, the forest inhabitants woke up and could not understand anything - why were they so sad and dreary? The rain that started to drizzle only ruined everyone's mood even more. The forest inhabitants crawled out of their dens and holes, from under snags and stones, gloomy and unfriendly. "What's happened? Why are both me and my friends in such a bad mood today?” - thought Lesovichok. He began to look closely, listen, and then he understood everything: today he had not heard Cutie’s song. What could have happened to her? To find out, Lesovichok went to a big old tree where a little songbird lived.
"Cutie!" - Lesovichok called the bird. A bird dozing in a nest flew up to him. She sat on Levovichka’s shoulder and in a quiet, hoarse voice told her what had happened to her and why she didn’t sing that morning.
The cutie woke up earlier than usual and was about to sing when she suddenly saw a spring. The water there was so clear and fresh! And how beautifully the water droplets sparkled, shimmering with different colors in the sun’s rays. The cutie immediately wanted to drink this pure water. She flew up to the spring and began to drink in small sips. The water in the spring turned out to be very cold, simply icy. The cutie understood that she couldn’t drink cold water, but the water was very tasty. She drank and drank. “Well, I got drunk, now it’s time to sing my morning song, to which the Magic Forest and all its inhabitants wake up!” The little songbird opened her beak to sing loudly and tenderly, but instead a rough hoarse cry was heard from her throat. And then Cutie felt how much her throat hurt!
Now she couldn't sing.
"What to do? How can I help Cutie?” - thought Lesovichok. A woodpecker lived on a large pine tree, and Lesovichok went to him.
— Dear woodpecker, they call you “forest doctor.” Maybe you can cure our Cutie's throat?
- No, I only treat trees: I rid them of insects and larvae. And you can cure Cutie yourself. Everything you need for this is in your forest. Ask wild bees for honey. It will relieve sore throat. Raspberries grow near the lake. It will lower the temperature. And at the edge of the forest the rose hips had already ripened. It will help the patient get stronger and gain strength.
The forest boy thanked the woodpecker and went to the clearing where the forest inhabitants had already gathered. Lesovichok told his friends everything and they decided to help: the bear cub went to the wild bees to ask for some honey, the fox picked raspberries, the little hare and the hedgehog picked a whole basket of rose hips, from which Lesovichok cooked a healing decoction, the swan Swan gave some feathers to warm up Cutie, and the turtle Tortilla volunteered to take all this to Cutie. But everyone politely refused her offer: after all, everyone knows how slowly a turtle moves, and Cutie needed help urgently! Lesovichok carried everything himself and soon Cutie recovered. She could sing again. And her songs were even better and louder, because she sang for friends who did not leave her in trouble.

In the textbooks on literary reading of some teaching materials for grades 2-3, there are tasks to compose a fairy tale or story on your own. In fact, this is not difficult to do, you just need to grasp the idea. Often it is given not just to compose a fairy tale, but a fairy tale on a specific topic, for example, its meaning should be some kind of proverb. In the program there is a planet of knowledge, for example: “tackle a good deed skillfully” or others of your choice.
Made up fairy tales
First, practice on something simple, without a predetermined topic (in the Russian school educational complex, for example, the task appears to be simply to compose a fairy tale). Maybe you remember some interesting and instructive incident from life, you can come up with it yourself. You can create your own by analogy with famous fairy tales. Here are examples of fairy tales written by children, let them inspire you to write your own.
Why does a hare have long ears?
Once upon a time there lived a little bunny. He was constantly bragging about something. He boasted of his white fluffy tail, his sharp teeth, his keen eyes. One day he sat on a stump and boasted to the whole forest that he was able to jump over the highest hummock in this forest. The bunny did not notice how a wolf crept up from behind and grabbed him by the ears. The bunny struggled, struggled, and forcibly escaped. Look at yourself, the wolf pulled out his ears. Now the bunny looks at his long ears and sits quietly under a bush, without sticking out.
Oak.
The little acorn lost his hat and went in search of it. He jumped over the roots of the papa oak tree, ruffled the withered grass and looked under the leaves:
- This is not my hat, it’s too big and too big for me!
– And this one, double, will suit twin acorns.
– And this is last year’s, they don’t wear them like this anymore this season!
The acorn looked for a long time for its cap, got tired and fell asleep. He woke up in the spring, the sun was warm, it was warm. He looks, he is not an acorn, but a small oak tree, and he no longer needs a hat.
The tale of a traffic light arrogant.
A new traffic light was installed at the intersection. He was tall, slender and full of self-esteem.
Who said that you have to turn on the colors one by one, it’s much more beautiful to shimmer with all the colors at once, the Traffic Light decided and stared at the road with all 12 eyes.
- Hey, what are you doing! - the cars started beeping.
They huddled together in fear and nuzzled each other like blind kittens.
You look like cuttlefish! - the traffic light shouted to them from above and swayed with laughter.
A girl approached the crossing. “So pretty!” – thought the traffic light and winked at her in three colors at once. And again the indignant squeal of brakes.
“Just think,” Traffic Light was offended. “I’ll take it and pass out! Let’s see how you cope here without me!”
I thought so and went out.
And the next day, another traffic light was installed at the intersection, responsible and reliable.
Write a fairy tale or story, the name and meaning of which can be one of the proverbs:
- It's better to lose with a smart person than to find with a fool.
- The head is thick, but the head is empty.
- They don't beat with a spear, but with their minds.
- If there was intelligence, there would be a ruble.
- A stupid mind lets you go around the world.
The head is thick, but the head is empty
In one small town there lived a girl with beautiful blue eyes and blond curls. Like all girls, she went to school, where she was given a lot of homework. She didn’t like it very much: during class she thought about how beautiful she was, and at home she admired herself in the mirror. Every morning she had to do her homework, although she was only attracted to the numerous combs and hairpins. One day she couldn’t resist and decided to give herself a beautiful hairstyle instead of sitting down to her textbooks. She came to school with unlearned lessons. When she was called to the board, she was confused and did not know what to answer. The teacher looked reproachfully at the girl and her beautiful hairstyle and said: her head is thick, but her head is empty. She felt very ashamed, and her curled locks no longer pleased her.
A stupid mind lets you around the world
One day a guy decided to earn some money. Give me, he thinks, I’ll help the neighbors, and they’ll give me money for it. I came to the first neighbor and offered to walk her dog. The neighbor agreed. The boy let the dog off the leash, and she ran away. The neighbor didn’t pay him, and even demanded money from him for the dog. The boy thought that it would be easier for other neighbors to go to the grocery store. I offered it to them. And he put the money in a holey pocket, and it fell out along the way. No food, no money, we had to give ours to our neighbors again. So he sits and thinks about how he can help his third neighbors and get a bonus for it. This is how a stupid mind goes around the world!
If there was intelligence, there would be a ruble
Once upon a time there lived two brothers. Both are tall, slender, black-haired - beautiful to look at, but one is smart, the other not so much. One day they came across a treasure map. The brothers decided to go in search of them. It was shown on the map that treasures were hidden in the dense forest. The brothers approached a large spruce tree at the edge of the forest. From there you need to go north. The elder brother looks at which side of the tree the ants built the anthill on, where there is more moss, where there is less, and realizes where is the north. And the younger one just scratched the back of his head and followed the older one. A bear meets them. The elder climbed the tree, called the younger one to follow him, and he grabbed a stick and teased the bear. Bear on him. The boy started to run, only his heels sparkled. And the elder climbed down from the tree and dug up the treasure. If there was intelligence, there would be a ruble!
They beat you not with a spear, but with your mind
Once upon a time there lived Ivashka. He decided to go on a trip. He took the pie with him and set off to wander around the world. Ivashka found a cave. There he met two giants. They thought that Ivashka was very weak and decided to have a competition. Who is stronger? The cave is given to the one who wins. The first competition: you have to squeeze the juice out of a stone. Ivashka remembered that he had taken a pie with him. He took out the pie and squeezed out the filling. “You are strong,” said the giant. Second test: you have to throw a stone high. “Your stone fell to the ground, but mine will not fall.” Ivashka caught a bird that was passing by and threw it up. The bird flew away. The giant gave Ivashka the cave. They don't beat with a spear, but with their minds.

GLADE OF FAIRIES
Lilya Pomytkina, 7 years old, Kiev
There lived little fairies in a flower meadow. They lived together and loved to help people, especially children.
One day a little girl came to a flower meadow. She cried bitterly because her finger was cut. She didn't notice anyone or anything except pain. Then the fairies surrounded her in a tight ring and waved their wings in unison. The girl felt relieved and stopped crying. The fairies asked the sun's rays to quickly dry the girl's tears, and she began to listen to everything around her. She heard flowers smell, insects buzz and birds sing. And the fairies whispered to her that the world around her was beautiful, that the wound on her finger would soon heal, and that she should not be too upset.
One little fairy brought a tiny plantain leaf and put it on the wound. Another asked the ladybug to play the game "Rain or Bucket" with the girl. And the third one called the breeze to smooth the girl’s disheveled hair.
And the girl felt so good that she began to smile and play with the fairies. After that, the girl always came to the fairy clearing if she felt bad.
When she grew up big, she did not forget the clearing with fairies and in difficult times she always called the little fairies for help.
QUESTIONS AND TASKS
How would you help the girl if you were the fairies?
Give the children cards with the names of different qualities. Children must figure out how the fairies taught someone this or that quality.
Remember some difficult situation from your life and think about how different fairy tale characters could help you in this situation, for example: fairies, breeze, sun rays, etc.

BABUSHKIN DUBOCHEK
Misha Kozhan, 8 years old
My grandmother lived in a big city. She loved nature so much that she planted an oak tree under her window. He was so small that he could not support the weight of a titmouse if she sat on his branch. Grandmother took care of her little oak tree and said hello to it every morning, looking out of the window. And my grandmother had a little grandson who often came to visit her. Together they went to their oak tree and looked after it. Then they sat side by side, and the grandmother read fairy tales to her grandson. Every summer they took pictures near the oak tree, and then rejoiced watching how the baby and the tree grew. The oak tree had many new branches, and it no longer bent under the weight of the birds.
Dubochek always looked forward to his grandson coming to visit his grandmother. He loved to listen to his grandmother's fairy tales with him and then retold them to his friends: the birds, the sun, the wind and the rain. One day, the grandson came to his grandmother, but they did not go to the oak tree and did not even greet him. The oak tree waited and waited, but it never came. Then he asked the sparrow to look out the window and find out what was the matter. Sparrow flew in upset and said that his friend was lying in bed, he had a high temperature and a sore throat. Dubochek became very alarmed and called all his friends for help.
Raindrops gave the boy a drink of living spring water, the sun's rays warmed his neck, the breeze cooled his hot forehead, and the birds sang such a wonderful song that he immediately felt happy. And the disease subsided.
“Thank you, oak tree, for your help,” the boy said to his friend the next day.

SNOWFLAKES UNDER THE CHERRY TREE
Nastya Zaitseva, 8 years old
The enchanted garden sleeps in winter silence. Fluffy snowflakes sleep peacefully under the spreading branches of a cherry tree. The snowflakes had an interesting dream. It’s as if they are circling around the cherry, and the cherry says to them: “You are so funny, my beloved children,” and then strokes them and hugs them. The fluffy snowflakes felt the gentle warmth and instantly woke up. They were sad because they were not children of the cherry, but the cherry consoles them: “Don’t be sad. When the sun warms you, you will become droplets and happily roll down to my roots.”
That's how it all happened. The souls of the fluffy snowflakes fell in love with their kind comforter. In the spring they rolled down to her roots and became her real children: some a leaf, some a flower and a cherry. The dream of the fluffy snowflakes has come true.
GREEN CHERRY
Nastya Zaitseva, 8 years old
All the cherries were ripe, only one berry remained green and small. She saw a beautiful red berry next to her and said to her:
- Let's be friends.
Red Cherry looked at her and replied:
- I don’t want to be friends with you. I am so beautiful and red, and you are green.
The green cherry saw a large cherry and said to it:
- Let's be friends.
“I won’t be friends with you, you’re small, and I’m big,” answered the large cherry.
The little cherry wanted to make friends with the ripe berry, but she didn’t want to be friends with it either. So the little cherry remained without friends.
One day, all the cherries were picked from the tree, only the green ones remained. Time passed and she matured. There was not a single berry on any tree, and when the children found a cherry, they were very happy. They divided it among everyone and ate it. And this cherry turned out to be the most delicious.
THE BIRTH OF A SNOWFLAKE
Nastya Zaitseva, 8 years old
Once upon a time there was Winter. On New Year's Eve, her daughter was born. Winter didn't know what to call her. She told everyone about the birth of the winter baby and asked what name to give her, but no one could come up with a name.
Winter became sad and went to Santa Claus to ask for help. And he answers: “I can’t help. I don’t have time, I’m preparing for the New Year.”
Meanwhile, my daughter came running to her mother Zima and said:
- The wind is very kind. He helps everyone. I told him that I wanted to learn to dance, and he taught me. Look, - and she began to dance.
Daughter, you dance very beautifully,” Winter praised her daughter.
Mom, why are you so sad? Probably tired, preparing for the New Year?
No, I just have a lot to do,” my mother answered, “and you run and play.”
Winter told him about everything, and the Wind invited her to fly and ask Snow what to name her daughter.
They flew to the Snow, and Winter said:
- Brother Snow, you probably know that I had a daughter?
I know, because I do not appear on earth on my own, but thanks to your daughter. She helps me.
Help me come up with a name for my daughter,” Winter asked.
I know what name to give her - Snowflake. On my behalf - Snow.

- To compose a fairy tale, we need to remember everything we know:
features of a fairy tale;
construction of a fairy tale (saying, beginning, ending);
fairy-tale heroes;
fairy-tale situations;
magical transformations;
fabulous helpers. - We need to decide where and when the action will take place (in ancient times, in the modern world, in the future). A lot will depend on this: the description of magical situations, the appearance of the heroes and magical assistants.
- The most important thing is to determine the character, appearance, and actions of external heroes.
- All events and fairy-tale situations that will occur in a fairy tale must be thought through in detail, their sequence must be determined, not forgetting about triple repetitions.
- Questions that may help:
What trouble happened to the hero (witchcraft, kidnapping, persecution)?
Who helps the hero and how?
What happens to the hero, what enemies does he face? (We must not forget about magical transformations)
How do the hero's adventures end? - It is necessary to determine in whose name the fairy tale will be written.
- It is advisable to correlate the main idea of the fairy tale with a proverb or saying.
Once upon a time there lived a girl Masha. She was small, but very responsible and neat. Her best friends were the doll Dasha, the toy unicorn Baby and the cat Barsik. Of all his toys, Masha did not like only the big green troll with evil eyes. But the troll didn’t like her either. And he planned a terrible dirty trick.
It was late. Masha went to bed and closed her eyes. Through her sleep, she heard some rustling and hoarse muttering. Masha sat up on the bed and wanted to see what happened. Suddenly the bed quickly began to increase in size and so did the whole room. Masha walked down the blanket to the floor. She became small, like her toy baby. And from under the table a large green troll hobbled towards her, muttering spells as he walked. Masha screamed in fright and at the same moment the Baby’s horn stuck into the troll’s side. But the unicorn was too small.
- Run, Masha! - the Kid managed to shout when the Troll lifted him into the air with one hand and threw him under the closet.
Holding his side with one hand, the troll walked towards Masha. And the girl ran... But her legs could barely move - another troll’s witchcraft. He was already close when the fists of the Dasha doll blocked his path.
- Don't be afraid, Masha! - the doll shouted.
But the troll threw her away and said to Masha:
- No one will save you!
Suddenly, two huge green eyes glowed in the darkness. Masha was scared, and so was the troll. Masha's toy assistants come to life are one thing, a real live cat is another. The huge cat used sharp claws and teeth. Then Barsik turned to Masha and said: “Get up, Masha!” It's time to go to kindergarten.
Masha opened her eyes and saw her mother. Barsik was lying on the bed and purring. The troll was nowhere to be seen. The girl took out Baby and Dasha, sat them next to Barsik and hugged all three. Then she ran to the kindergarten.
