Fairy tales written by children. Fairy tales of your own composition

Often at school, teachers ask homework- write a story. This is a difficult task, because not everyone is given to become writers. Of course, you can just download from the Internet. But, there is no guarantee that the teacher will not waste time and check for plagiarism, because modern teacher“advanced” and uses information technology in his work.

There is another option! Sit down and write a story. This is a creative task that requires the child to developed imagination, speech and thinking. Maybe help from your parents.

Children are best at writing fairy tales. Fairy tale is a fictional story that cannot happen in the real world, but the events or characters are taken from life.

The main thing is not to deviate from the topic;

Any work should have 3 parts: beginning (outset), middle (climax), end (denouement);

Good tries its best to overcome evil;

Main character- Support and hope;

Heroes use magic power, objects, pass tests, miracles happen;

It is advisable to use the words in the text: affectionate names, once upon a time, he met, since then, they began to live, live, lived for a long time;

A fairy tale always teaches something (A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, a lesson for good fellows)

It remains to find a listener and tell him a fairy tale. It's better if it's a child! Here the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened - Well done!

Examples of fairy tales composed by children:

goldilocks

Lived - there were a king and a queen. They didn't have children. Some time later, the queen died. And the king was told to marry another queen. But the king could not choose the queen, because the first wife was the best. A few days later, a few queens were brought to him, and he chose the youngest, most beautiful queen from them. They made a big feast! After some time, the queen gave birth to the king's daughter.

The little princess grew by leaps and bounds.

The princess had blue eyes and long golden hair.

Once the princess went for a walk around the palace and quietly went into the forest. Suddenly, a Beast appeared from behind the bushes, he grabbed the princess and took her to his castle. In the meantime, there was a fuss in the palace of the king, because his daughter was gone! The king ordered his knights to find the princess.

For a long time they were looking for the princess, and finally one of the knights named Matvey saw a lock of the princess's golden hair on a tree branch. And he rode on his horse along the path that led to the castle of the Beast.

At this time, the Beast was sleeping, suddenly he heard that someone had entered his castle. He saw a knight. The knight said that he came for the princess he kidnapped (Beast). A struggle ensued between the knight and the Beast. For a long time the knight had to fight the Beast! Finally, the knight managed to defeat the Beast! He tied him up. He freed the princess from the dungeon, and placed the Beast in the dungeon.

When the knight and princess returned to the palace, the king and queen were delighted that their daughter was alive and well!

As a reward, the knight asked the king and queen to marry Princess Goldilocks to him.

The princess agreed!

And they made a feast for the whole world!

And they lived happily ever after!

Kolobok - prickly side

Not far from the village grew not very dense forest. At the edge of this forest, under an old stump, a hedgehog lived in a mink. His name was Kolobok - prickly side.

One morning he left his house and ran in search of food. Suddenly he heard someone's steps, he quickly curled up into a ball and snorted. But it turned out to be his neighbor a hare named Oblique.

"Where are you jumping?"

“The hare has gone to the forestry store, and I’m going to meet her,” the hare answered and galloped on. And the hedgehog again ran along the path, which led him to a large spruce. Under it were many mushrooms.

"Blimey! How much food for me." - exclaimed the hedgehog.

“There will be something to treat the hedgehog when she comes to visit me,” he thought. I picked up some mushrooms and happily ran to my hole.

The hedgehog returned home cheerful and began to prepare for dinner. He made delicious mushroom soup. Soon a beautiful hedgehog came, her name was Needle. They had a very tasty lunch and then had fun and played different games until the evening.

The tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it.

How often in childhood, grandmothers or mothers read, told us fairy tales. And we listened, and together with the heroes we went beyond distant lands to the kingdom of the thirtieth, we went there I don’t know where, jumped over fiery rivers, fought with a serpent with three heads. They lived with the heroes of the adventure and often wanted to become as bold, quick, smart as they were, dreamed of going to the ball just like Cinderella in a beautiful dress in a carriage. All this is so magical and at the same time these stories were written by other authors, they had their own plots, their own heroes, with their own characters.

And if you write a fairy tale such as you want? With your script? A story for yourself. Or maybe for your children? Let this fairy tale include everything that you want, let it contain a description of how it is now, where you want to move, who you want to be, what to do.

The hero can be any character you have thought up, let him be in tune with you, as you see him, feel him. It can be a fairy, maybe a wizard, or maybe a mouse or an ermine. Let the hero be the way you want. And then write the story of your hero.

The scenario of the fairy tale consists of several stages.

The story usually begins with the words:

1) once upon a time.

At this stage, we describe the heroine as she was. For example, Cinderella was a hard worker. In the fairy tale "The Wizard emerald city"It is simply written - "Among the vast Kansas steppe lived a girl named Ellie."

Next stage:

2) Her life, her environment. Why was she unique?

Again, let's take an example from the fairy tale "The Wizard of the Emerald City". Ellie's environment: her father, farmer John, worked in the field all day, and her mother, Anna, took care of the housework. They lived in a small van, removed from the wheels and put on the ground. The furnishings of the house were poor: an iron stove, a wardrobe, a table, three chairs and two beds.

What was unique about Ellie? Ellie dreamed: “If I suddenly became a queen, I would definitely order that there should be a magician in every city and every village. And so that he performs various miracles for children.

Next step:

3) One day.

It describes an event that once happened. For example, Ellie's house was blown away by a whirlwind, in another fairy tale the girl got lost, and a seven-flower flower fell into her hands, etc.

4) At the next stage, the heroine wanted something . For example, to become someone, to become someone, to make friends with someone, to learn something, to go on a trip, etc.

Again, the example of Ellie and her friends - the Tin Woodman wanted to learn to feel, the Lion wanted courage, Ellie wanted to return home, etc.

5) Actions and trials . Then the heroine acts

For example, Ellie went with friends to the Great Goodwin. In other fairy tales, the hero went to distant lands to a distant kingdom, went to Baba Yaga, etc.

6) Help. In a fairy tale, help is sure to come. This is either a good fairy, a godmother, a wizard, maybe even a pike.

7) The next step describes which Her life has become. Which? What her environment has become, how her life has changed.

8) She became. Which she became. Here we describe how I am changing in the direction I want, what will she enjoy, what will she be like?

Here on these points you can write yourself an individual fairy tale. The story doesn't have to be like a plan. It is better to write a fairy tale as a light story, as a stream flows, so a fairy tale flows. Let the fairy tale be like a dream with the actions of the protagonist. So we take a pen and a sheet of paper - Once upon a time ....

And it has also been observed that fairy tales do come true.

A fairy tale is a small miracle
It's boring to live without her in the world,
Even when we are adults
We can't forget the story. There are many different fairy tales on the planet,
They have kindness and beauty,
Children rejoice at wise tales,
They always make dreams come true!

Yes, there are many interesting stories. 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 younger school age. About whom? Of course, about animals. About what? About the most important thing: about friendship, about kindness, about mutual assistance.

My children senior group(MK DOU Pavlovsky Kindergarten No. 8, Voronezh region) wrote (with a little help from my parents and me) several fairy tales, which we combined into a collection "Autumn Tales of the Magic Forest".

And the children themselves came up with fairytale heroes and made illustrations for their fairy tales.

Autumn Tales of the Magic Forest

Saying or let's get to know each other.

In one small Magic forest lived - there was an old man - Lesovichok. He was very kind and wise. Lesovichok helped all the forest dwellers. And there were a lot of them in the forest: Tortila the turtle, Thorn the hedgehog, Mrs. Catty the snake, Medok the bear cub, Jumping bunny, Owl the owl, Cutie the bird, Cunning the fox, Swan the swan. And Lesovichok also made sure that people did not offend his forest: they did not litter, did not break trees, did not ruin bird nests, did not tear primroses, did not offend animals.

berry jam

One day the Bear cub Medok came to Lesovichka, sad, very sad.

— What happened, Medok? - asked the old man - Why are you so sad?

- We quarreled with the fox Cunning. I picked up a whole basket of berries, and she ate it. 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 think of nothing. And then one day, when Lesovichok was putting things in order in the forest, he saw a whole meadow of wild berries. "Idea!" he thought. Lesovichok asked the fox and the bear cub to help in picking berries. It took them a long time to collect them. There were so many berries that the friends ate and collected full baskets. And then everyone together drank tea with berry jam. And the rest of the inhabitants of the forest were invited to visit Lesovichka. So we reconciled!

Mrs Kathy has found a friend.

Mrs. Catty, a long pink snake, lived in a cozy burrow under a snag. She wore a pretty pink hat with a yellow flower and was very proud of it. Every morning Mrs. Catty crawled out of her hole and basked in the sun. And she also loved to crawl on the fallen autumn leaves, because they rustled so much fun! Mrs. Catty was very kind, but no one knew about it. Everything forest dwellers they were afraid of the snake and avoided its mink. This upset Mrs. Catty, because she so wanted to have a real friend!

And then one day, when Katie, as usual, alone basking in the sun, she suddenly heard that someone was crying plaintively. The snake quickly crawled to where the crying came from, and suddenly saw that the fox Hitra had fallen into a deep hole. She could not get out and wept bitterly.

“Don’t cry,” the snake shouted to the frightened fox, “Now I’ll pull you out!” Mrs. Catty lowered her long tail into the hole. “Hold on tight to my tail,” she called to the fox. The fox Cunning grabbed the snake by the tail, and it crawled. It was difficult for the snake because the fox was very heavy. But Kathy did it well. Since then, Katie the snake and Hitra the fox have become true friends. Now together they merrily rustled autumn leaves and basked in the sun.

How the teddy bear became polite

In the thick of the forest, in a lair, lived a bear cub Medok. He had a terrible sweet tooth! But more than anything, he loved honey. For this, the teddy bear was nicknamed Medko. One day, when the bear cub ran out of honey, he went to the wild bees that lived in a large beehive on a tree. Medok climbed a tree, looked into the hive, then put his paw in there and scooped up a whole handful of honey. The bees got angry with him, and let's bite the impudent thief! The little bear rushed to run as fast as he could, but the bees were faster. They caught up with Medk and let's bite him, saying: "Do not take someone else's!" Medok returned to the lair empty-handed. The bear cub thought and decided that it was necessary to go for honey when the bees were not at home. He waited for the bees to fly to the clearing to collect nectar and climbed into the hive. Medok did not even suspect that guard bees remained in the hive, which immediately rushed to the sweet tooth. The bear cub barely took his legs.

Medoc sits on a 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 away, they only bite.” You know how it hurts!

- Take? Without asking? Now I understand why the bees got mad at you. Next time you just ask them for honey, just ask very politely. And don't forget the magic word "please". The next day, Medok again went to the hive. 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, please, help yourself!” hummed the happy bees. Since then, the bear has never forgotten to say the magic word "please"!

tea drinking

Once upon a time in the forest there was a bunny Jumper. 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!” Bunny smiled, remembering how she prepared carrot salad for him in the morning and licked his lips. At the edge, where the bunny lived, the carrot did not grow, and the Jumper went in search of it in the thicket of the forest. The trees were so large that the sun's rays could hardly penetrate the branches. The jumper was scared, he even wanted to cry already. And then he saw someone's lair. The bear cub Medok came out of the lair and asked the bunny:

— How are you, buddy? What are you doing so far from home?

"I'm looking for carrots," Jumpy replied.

- What are you, buddy, carrots do not grow in the forest.

- It's a pity, but I really want sweets.

- It doesn't matter, I have a whole deck of fragrant sweet honey. Come to visit me to drink tea with honey.

The bunny happily agreed. And after tea drinking, the bear cub accompanied the Jumper to the house so that the bunny would not be afraid!

Spiny defender.

Under a large stump in a mink lived a gray hedgehog Kolyuchka. He was called that because he had terribly sharp needles. Just real thorns! Because of them, no one wanted to play with a hedgehog: everyone was afraid to prick themselves.

Once upon a time, an evil hungry wolf appeared in the Magic Forest. He saw the Jumping Bunny and began to cautiously creep up to him. This was noticed by a hedgehog, who was sitting on a stump and was sad. The hedgehog immediately curled up into a ball and rolled right under the feet of the wolf. The wolf squealed in pain and jumped aside. The hedgehog followed the wolf. He pricked the wolf again and again with his sharp needles until he ran away from their Magic Forest.

It's good that you have such sharp needles, - said the Bunny Jumper, who came up to thank the hedgehog - If it weren't for you and your thorns, the wolf would have eaten me.

All the forest dwellers were glad that the hedgehog had saved Jumpy. And Lesovichok asked the hedgehog to become the protector of the forest inhabitants and protect everyone from the evil wolf. And, the wolf, remembering the sharp needles of the hedgehog, never again appeared in the Magic Forest.

owl

Owl Owl lived in the Magic Forest. She was very young, so not very wise. One day, she woke up and saw that wild ducks were preparing to fly somewhere.

The owl was very surprised.

Where are they going to fly to? the Owl asked Lesovichka.

— For wild ducks it's time to fly to warmer climes - Lesovichok answered her. It's warm and there's plenty of food for them.

- Wow! I need to fly there too, since it's so good there!

The owl asked the ducks to take her to her flock. The ducks agreed. The next morning, the ducks waited a long time for the owl, but it never showed up. Without waiting for Owl, they flew away without her. It turns out that the Owl overslept. After all, owls are nocturnal birds: they wake up at night, and go to bed in the morning and sleep until evening. And so the Owl remained to spend the winter in the Magic Forest! But she was fine here too!

Turtle Tortila and her friends.

Tortila lived on the shore of a forest pond. Every day she slowly crawled along the shore, and when she was frightened 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, the turtle, having warmed up under the rays of the sun, lay on the shore and heard a sonorous song from afar:
The sun has risen, cheer!
Morning has come, cheer!
Bunny woke up, cheer!
He smiled at everyone, cheer!

Soon a gray bunny Jumpy ran up to the turtle and greeted her with the words:
-Good morning!
-Kind! she answered him.
What a fun song you have!
Do you want us to sing it together?
And they sang out loud:

The sun has risen, cheer!
Morning has come, cheer!

Everyone smiled, ve-ce-lis!

A merry song was heard by the hedgehog Kolyuchka, who was picking mushrooms, and hurried to the forest pond.
- Hello, Thorn Tortila and Jumpy greeted.
What a fun 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, cheer!
Morning has come, cheer!
We've already woken up, cheer!
Everyone smiled, ve-ce-lis!

To their cheerful song, the swan Lebedyonok swam to the shore.
- What a friendly company you have and a cheerful song! he said.
"Let's all sing along," Jumpy suggested.
Suddenly, everyone heard that someone was crying under a bush.
Everyone hurried there and saw a little bird, Milashka.
Why are you crying so bitterly? Tortila asked her.
“I got in trouble,” she replied. The wind picked up and I accidentally fell out of the nest. I still can't fly, but I don't know how to get back. - Sit on my wing, and I will take you to your nest. Sweetheart did just that. The swan took off and delivered the chick to the place. Thanked Cutie Lebedyonka and waved her wing. And all the friends sang their favorite song:

The sun has risen, cheer!
Morning has come, cheer!
We've already woken up, cheer!
Everyone smiled, ve-ce-lis!
We will be friends together
Happiness, joy, kindness to give!

The turtle was very happy that she had so many wonderful friends. The time spent with them was the most wonderful for her.

I could not resist and I composed a fairy tale about the bird Cutie. True, the idea of ​​​​the plot was suggested to me by the children.

sore throat

In the Enchanted Forest grew an old big - very big tree. On one of the branches of this tree was a small nest made of feathers and blades of grass. The bird Milashka lived in this nest. Cutie woke up early: before all the forest dwellers, she began to sing her cheerful song. Every morning, Cutie flew over the Magic Forest and sang so loudly and joyfully that all the forest dwellers were in a good mood. From the songs of this little bird, everyone felt good and joyful in their souls, from this everyone became kinder.

Once, one gloomy autumn morning, the forest dwellers woke up and could not understand anything - why are they so sad and dreary? The rain that began to drizzle only spoiled everyone's mood even more. Forest dwellers crawled out of their lairs and burrows, gloomy and unfriendly from under snags and stones. "What's happened? Why do I and my friends have this today Bad mood? thought Lesovichok. He began to look closely, listen, and then he understood everything: today there was no song of Cutie. What could have happened to her? To find out, Lesovichok went to the old big tree where the little songbird lived.

"Cutie!" - Lesovichok called the bird. A bird dozing in a nest flew up to him. She sat down on Levovichka's shoulder and in a low, hoarse voice told what had happened to her and why she hadn't sung that morning.

The cutie woke up earlier than usual and was about to sing when she suddenly saw a spring. The water was so clear and fresh! And how beautifully the water droplets shone, shimmering in different colors in the sun's rays. Cutie immediately wanted to drink this clean 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, just ice cold. Sweetheart knew that cold water You can’t drink, but the water was very tasty. She drank and drank. “Well, now, I got drunk, now it’s time to sing my morning song, to which I wake up Magical forest and all its inhabitants! The little songbird opened her beak to sing loudly and tenderly, but instead a rough, hoarse cry came from her throat. And then Cutie felt how much her throat hurts!

Now she couldn't sing.

"What to do? How to help Cutie? thought Lesovichok. A woodpecker lived on a large pine tree, then Lesovichok went to him.

“Dear woodpecker, they call you the “forest doctor.” Maybe you can cure the throat of our Cutie?

- No, I only treat trees: I rid them of insects and larvae. And you can cure Milashka yourself. Everything you need for this is in your forest. Ask for honey from wild bees. It will relieve sore throat. Raspberries grow near the lake. It will lower the temperature. And at the edge of the forest, the wild rose has already ripened. It will help the patient to get stronger and gain strength.

Lesovichok 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 little bear went to the wild bees to ask for some honey, the chanterelle picked raspberries, the hare and the hedgehog picked a whole basket of wild roses, from which Lesovichok cooked a healing decoction, the swan Lebedyonok gave some feathers to warm Cutie, and the turtle Tortila volunteered to take it all to Milashka. But everyone politely refused her offer: after all, everyone knows how slowly the turtle moves, and it was necessary to help Cutie urgently! Lesovichok himself carried everything and soon Milashka 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.

The fairy tale is the favorite genre of literature for both writers and readers. Fairy stories are written for children, teenagers and adults. Fairy tales for kids are usually extremely simple, with a clear message and moral, a clear division of characters into “good” and “bad”. Works for older children are already deeper and more ambiguous, uplifting difficult topics and thought provoking. Well, fairy tales for adults are a completely separate subgenre, which is worth talking about separately. Today's article is a site about how to write fairy tales for a children's audience.

Features of a modern fairy tale

V literary tale there is always an element of something extraordinary - magical objects, fictional worlds and creatures, unusual events, etc. People can fly there, animals can talk, furniture can come to life... The unbelievable happening is limited only by the author's imagination.

As a rule, in a fairy tale book there is a villain who intrigues the main character and his friends. In the finale, good, as usual, triumphs: evil is punished, and all positive characters begin to live happily ever after.

However, in our age of post-postmodernism, many storytellers (especially those whose work is aimed at teenagers) try to avoid this traditional scheme. They rethink classic stories and change the usual rules of the game.

So, negative characters in some stories are completely absent. A canonical example is books about Moomin and Prostokvashino. After all, one cannot seriously consider Morra and the postman Pechkin as villains.

In addition, negative characters often become the main characters from the point of view of which everything that happens is presented. They, as a rule, cause sympathy and sympathy, in contrast to the sugary and always correct goodies.

True, all this usually does not apply to completely children's fairy tales. They are modernized to be interesting for today's children, but at the same time they follow traditions - the victory of good over evil, a guaranteed happy ending, clear morals, etc.

How to start writing a story

First of all you need:

1. Choose a main theme, a leitmotif around which the plot will revolve or which will become the starting point for its development. It can be something quite ordinary - for example, relationships between family members or a trip to the sea. But this must be approached from an unexpected angle. The theme can also be something more original - a treasure hunt, found Magic wand or meeting a magician.
2. Decide where the action will take place. In most fairy tales, all events take place in a fictional world, which can be completely independent (the country of shorties from Dunno's adventures) or be part of ours (the world of wizards in Potter). Also, the arena for the development of the plot can become a familiar reality, where something unprecedented begins to happen ("Mary Poppins").
3. Come up with bright characters - heroes and villains. Protagonists can be simple people with whom some magical event happened, talking animals, magical creatures, etc. The main thing is that the public should follow their adventures with interest and worry about them. You can also make an antagonist ordinary person who stepped on the path of evil, or a powerful sorcerer.
4. Write an intriguing first line. See how major bestsellers start recent years: “During my youth, there were dragons in the world”, “The Wilkinson family turned into ghosts quite suddenly”, “Bertha the little fox felt unhappy. Life ended before it even started." Try to come up with the same catchy opening, after which you immediately want to know about dragons, and about the Wilkinsons, and about the misadventures of Bertha.

Learning to write a fairy tale

Many of today's writers boldly ignore the golden rules of storytellers. But many writers adhere to them, preferring the good old traditions to postmodernism. Among these traditions, for example, is a simple and understandable language. Although children's fairy tales are read with pleasure by some adults, their main audience is still very young.

Therefore, sentences with a confusing structure, hard-to-read words and incomprehensible terms should be avoided. Difficult language- a completely superfluous element of a fabulous text. More attention should be paid to the characters, action and magical surroundings.

Morality in a modern fairy tale is not served directly, but is usually present. The works emphasize the importance of family, friends, justice and all kinds of positive qualities- mercy, responsiveness, etc.

It is advisable to come up with a happy ending for your book, when the antagonist gets what he deserves, and all the problems and hardships of the protagonist end. The protagonist finds what he aspired to, and usually receives valuable life lessons in the process.

If the continuation of the fairy tale is planned in the future, after the happy ending, you can write an afterword in which the defeated villain swears revenge or a new, even stronger and more dangerous enemy appears.

An old fairy tale in a new way

The fashion for reworking classic fairy tales appeared quite a long time ago. Most often, a new look at well-known stories is given in fairy tales for adults. But even children's storytellers like to take some old work and breathe into it new life, modernizing the old text or writing about all the events from a different angle.

In postmodern books, princesses, carried away by dragons to high towers, make friends with their captors, beautiful princes turn out to be those scoundrels, and evil witches and sorcerers turn into strong personalities misunderstood by society, who in reality wish everyone only the best.

In addition, the classic plot can be revived by changing the time and place of the action or the images of the characters. For example, Ivanushka the Fool can become a seventh-grader Vanya, who caught a magic pike while fishing, and Little Red Riding Hood can become a pizza delivery girl delivering to a dangerous area.

Having turned on the imagination at full capacity, all that remains is to transfer your ideas to paper and create a full-fledged manuscript. And about how and where to attach it, read the site material. How to compose a fairy tale will also tell you this video:

Tatiana and Ivan

Illustrators: Kozlova D.,

Mayorova K., Tkachenkova V.

There lived a family. Mom, dad, three sons, and the youngest son Ivan was special. Most of all, the parents loved the youngest son. For this, the brothers disliked him and wanted to kill him. When mom and dad left, the brothers were left alone. Then they took sharp knives and wanted to kill Ivanushka. But then mom and dad had already arrived and kicked them out of the house. The brothers have nowhere to go, let's go to the forest. And they came across an old house. We entered the house. And there sits a witch with her cat. And she says:

Why did you come, really for dinner with me?

No, the brothers answered in unison. They thought and said: - They kicked us out of the house. We wanted to kill my brother, he is very strange.

Nothing, - said the witch, - I will help you if you help me.

How can you help us? the brothers ask.

I will bewitch your brother, and you will bring me daughter Tatiana to Tsar Nicholas.

The brothers agreed and set off on their journey. For ten years they traveled to Tsar Nicholas. And they do not know how to take Tatyana. They climbed over the big wall.

We reached the chambers of the princess. They tied her up and left. The way back was faster, it took the brothers five years. They got to the witch. And the brothers say:

We've done our part, now it's your turn.

Good, - said the witch, and began to conjure.

And the brothers ask: - Why do you need Tatyana?

I want to marry my son, - says the witch. She finished conjuring and says: “Come home, jump on your brother and he will become whoever you want.” They returned home and see before them not little boy, and already the groom. “Here they came, they didn’t get dusty!” the parents said.

Night fell, everyone fell asleep. The brothers got up, began to splash water on Ivan and say: “We want him to become a frog!” Witchcraft didn't work. "Liar witch!" said the middle brother. And they went back to the witch.

Are you a witch, you decided to deceive us, the potion does not work!

How does it not work? - the witch was surprised, - Well, let's go. When she was collecting the potion, the brothers asked: - Where is Tatyana?

He sits in the cellar, waiting for my son.

They entered the house and the witch began to conjure. It does not work. Ivanushka woke up, took her by the collar and over the threshold. He asks the brothers: "Where is Tatyana?" The brothers told Ivan where Tatyana was. Ivan followed her. He enters the witch's house, sees Tatyana tied up on a chair. He untied her, began to go out, and there the witch's son came in, and without a word pushed Ivan away and left with Tatyana. Ivan caught up with him, pulled out a sword and plunged it into the witch's son.

Soon Ivan and Tatyana played a wedding, lived and made good.
