Krylov's Short Fables
The Lion and the Fox
The Fox, not seeing the Lion's birthplace,
Having met him, she remained a little alive with passions.
Here, a little later, she again caught a lion,
But it didn't seem so scary to her.
And the third time then
the Fox started talking with the Lion.
We are also afraid of another,
Until we get accustomed to it.
Chizh and Dove
Chizha was slammed by the villainous trap:
The poor thing was torn and rushed about in it,
And the young dove mocked him.
“Aren't you ashamed,” he says, “in broad daylight
Gotcha!
I would not be fooled like this:
For this I boldly vouch.”
An, you look, he immediately got himself entangled in a snare.
And that's it!
Do not laugh at someone else's misfortune, Dove.
The wolf and the shepherds
The wolf, closely bypassing the shepherd's yard
And seeing, through the fence,
That, having chosen the best ram in the herd,
Quietly The shepherds gutted the lamb,
And the dogs lie quietly,
He himself said to himself, walking away in annoyance:
"What a fuss you all made here, friends,
If only I did!"
Waterfall and Stream
Boiling Waterfall, overthrown from the rocks,
said with arrogance to the healing spring (Which was barely noticeable under the mountain,
But was famous for its healing power):
“Isn't it strange? You are so small, so poor in water,
Do you always have a large number of guests?
No wonder if someone comes to me to marvel;
Why are they coming to you?” - "To be treated", -
The Brook murmured meekly.
The Boy and the Snake
The boy, thinking of catching an eel,
Grabbed the Snake and, staring out of fear,
Became as pale as his shirt.
The Snake, calmly looking at the Boy:
“Listen,” he says, “if you don’t get smarter,
Insolence will not always come easily to you.
This time God will forgive; but watch out ahead
And know who you're joking with!
Sheep and Dogs
In some flock of Sheep,
So that the Wolves could no longer disturb them,
The number of Dogs is supposed to be multiplied.
Well? So many divorced them, finally,
That the Sheep from the Wolves, it’s true, survived,
But the Dogs also need to eat.
First, the wool was removed from the Sheep,
And there, by lot, the skins flew from them,
And there were only five or six Sheep left,
And the Dogs ate those.
Rooster and a grain of pearl
Tearing a heap of dung,
A rooster found a grain of pearl
And says: “Where is it?
What an empty thing!
Isn't it stupid that he is so highly valued?
And I would really be much more glad
Barley Grain: it is not so visible,
Yes, satisfying.
***
The ignoramuses judge exactly like this:
What they don't understand, everything is a trifle with them.
A cloud
Above the side exhausted from the heat
A big cloud swept past;
Not a single drop refreshed her,
She shed a great rain over the sea
And boasted of her generosity before the Mountain,
“What? did good
Are you such a generosity? –
The Mountain told her. –
And how it doesn't hurt to look at it!
If you poured your rain on the fields,
You would save the whole region from hunger:
And in the sea without you, my friend, there is enough water.
The Peasant and the Fox (Book Eight)
The Fox once said to the Peasant:
“Tell me, my dear godfather,
How did the horse deserve such friendship from you,
What, I see, is she always with you?
In contentment you keep her in the hall;
On the road, you are with her, and often with her in the field;
But of all the animals
, she is hardly the most stupid.
” -
“Oh, gossip, the power is not in the mind! –
The peasant answered. - All this is vanity.
My goal is not at all the same:
I need her to drive me,
Yes, so that she obeys the whip.
Fox and grapes
Hungry godfather Fox climbed into the garden;
In it, the grapes were reddened.
The gossip's eyes and teeth flared up;
And brushes juicy, like yachts, burn;
The only problem is that they hang high:
Whenever and no matter how she comes to them,
Though she sees the eye,
Yes, the tooth is numb.
Having struggled for an hour in vain,
She went and said with annoyance:
“Well, then!
At a glance, it looks good,
Yes, green - there is no ripe berry:
You will immediately set your teeth on edge.
Falcon and Worm
At the top of the tree, clinging to a branch,
Worm swayed on it.
Above the Worm the Falcon, rushing through the air,
So from a height he joked and mocked:
“What you, poor thing, have not endured!
Why did you come so high that you crawled up?
What is your will and freedom?
And with a branch you bend where the weather dictates.
–
“It’s easy for you to joke,”
The worm answers, “flying high,
Because you are strong and strong with wings;
But fate has given me the wrong virtues:
I am here, at the height,
The only thing I hold on to is that, fortunately, I am tenacious!
Dog and Horse
Serving one peasant,
Dog and Horse somehow began to be considered.
“Here,” says Barbos, “the big lady!
For me, if only you were completely driven out of the yard.
Great thing to carry or plow!
Don't hear anything else about your daring:
And can you equal me in anything?
Day or night I do not know peace:
During the day, the herd is under my supervision in the meadow,
And at night I guard the house.
“Of course,” the Horse answered, “
Your speech is truthful;
However, if I didn't plow,
There would be nothing for you to guard here.
Mouse and Rat
“Neighbor, have you heard the good news? -
Having run in, the Mouse said to the Rat, -
After all, the cat, they say, fell into the claws of a lion?
Now it’s time to rest and it’s time for us!”
“Do not rejoice, my light,”
The Rat says to her in response, “
And do not hope in vain!
If they reach their claws,
That's right, the lion will not be alive:
There is no beast stronger than a cat!
I have seen it so many times, note it yourself:
When he is afraid of a coward,
He thinks that he is looking at him
The whole world looks through his eyes.
Peasant and Robber
Peasant starting a house committee,
I bought a pail and a cow at the fair
And with them through the oak forest
I quietly wandered home along a country road,
Suddenly I got caught by the Robber.
Robber Peeled off the muzhik.
“Have mercy,” the Peasant will weep, “I am lost,
You completely finished me off!
I've been planning to buy a cow for a whole year:
I've been waiting for the day for this.
“Good, don’t cry at me,”
The Robber said, complaining.
And truly, I can't milk a cow;
So be it,
Take back your pail.”
A frog and an ox
A frog, seeing Ox in the meadow,
She started to equal him in size:
She was envious.
And well, bristle, puff and pout.
"Look, wah, what, will I be with him?"
She speaks to her friend. "No, gossip, far away!" —
“Look how now I swell up widely.
Well, how is it?
Have I replenished? - "Almost nothing.
"—
"Well, how are you now?" - "All the same." Puffed and puffed
And my entertainer finished on that
That, not being equal to the Ox,
burst with an effort and - died.
***
There is more than one such example in the world:
Is it any wonder when a tradesman wants to live,
Like an eminent citizen,
And a small fry, like a nobleman?
Short fables of Tolstoy
Teaching children is an extremely noble thing. Count Tolstoy, in addition to working in the literary field, paid close attention to the tasks of upbringing and education, including ordinary peasant children. He created the "ABC" - a book designed to help students master writing, reading, and basic information from the natural sciences. The ABC includes fairy tales, short stories and, of course, fables. Lev Nikolaevich did not write fables in poetic form, he wanted to show the children "the real Aesop." Tolstoy admired Aesop, his works seemed to the venerable writer "the embodiment of common sense.
" And although the Greek sage was a poet, his fables were written in prose.

A man went to mow the meadows and fell asleep, and Happiness walked around the world. Happiness came up to the peasant and said:
- Here he is sleeping instead of working, and then he won’t collect hay for the weather, he will tell me, Happiness. He will say: I am not happy.
Jackdaw and Jug
Jackdaw wanted to drink. There was a jug of water in the yard, and the jug only had water at the bottom. Jackdaw could not be reached.
She started throwing pebbles into the jug and piled so many that the water became higher and it was drinkable.
"Shipwreck"
Fishermen were sailing in a boat. And there was a storm. They got scared. They threw the oars and began to pray to God to save them. The boat was carried along the river farther from the shore. Only one senior fisherman said:
— What did the oars throw? Pray to God, and row to the shore.

The wolf ran away from the dogs and wanted to hide in the waterhole. And the Fox was sitting in the waterhole, she bared her teeth at the wolf and said:
- I won't let you in - this is my place.
The wolf did not argue, but only said:
— If the dogs were not so close, I would show you whose place it is, and now you can see your truth.
Turtle and Eagle
