Magic story of a little girl. Chapter 1. Forest children. — Literary club "Paper Elephant"

Once Nastenka went with her father and mother to a sanatorium. She recently turned five years old, and she was an unusual girl, because she saw and heard things that adults do not see or hear. Perhaps others also see and hear, but she has not yet met such. The children with whom she played in the yard only laughed at her when she told them about the talking flower. Mom and dad are another matter, but whether they believed her or not, she did not know. Probably not. But it's so simple. The flower often talked to her, especially when her mother forgot to water it, he whispered to her: “Nastya, water me, my roots are drying up, and the leaves have drooped.” And she watered the flower with pleasure, saying: “Drink my little one, bloom and don’t throw leaves.” The flower came to life, straightened up, its leaves rang straight and everyone strove to touch Nastenka, which made her laugh merrily, as if from a tickle.

The flower kept saying something all the time: either about how warm the sun is, or about what the wind that flew in through the half-open window told. The wind knows many interesting stories because it happens everywhere. Nastya often heard the wind enthusiastically telling the flower about forest spirits, about magical unknown worlds, but she understood little and asked the flower to retell these stories to her. She sat down on a chair near the window sill where the flower stood and listened with enthusiasm. From these stories, she learned that there is a fairy-tale world somewhere. Only no one sees him. The only way to enter this world is in the forest. But no one knows how.

– Why doesn't anyone know? Nastenka once asked a flower.

“Because people don't believe in fairy tales,” answered the flower.

– But I believe and want to find this magical world!

– All right, if you are in the forest, ask the birches, they know everything.

And from that day on, Nastenka, at every opportunity, asked her mother to show her the forest. Mom denied that we didn’t have a forest nearby, but there was a park, but Nastenka didn’t notice anything unusual there, the trees were silent, and the wind only rustled. And finally, my mother promised her that when summer comes and dad has a vacation, we will all go to a sanatorium together, and there is a very large forest. And Nastenka began to count the days until her father's vacation.

And now she and her father and mother are going to a sanatorium.

— Mom, do birches grow in the forest? she asked her mother.

— Well, of course, daughter, there are many other trees, especially there are many pines. The air from them is healing and therefore there is a sanatorium.

— That's great, I need to talk to the birch trees.

— What to talk about, Nastenka?

— So about the magical world, mother, they all know birches. So our flower told me.

Mom listened to her and smiled. Nastenka understood that her mother did not believe her. “Well, okay,” she thought, “I’ll find a magical world, and my mother will believe me.”

The forest turned out to be almost the same as their city park, but much larger. Near the buildings, he was with beautiful alleys, and a small cozy lake, where her father and mother took her for a walk, on the very first day. Mom and dad sat on a bench on the shore near the water, and she was allowed to walk nearby on the lawn. A birch grove grew nearby, as dad called it, because only birch trees grew there, and there were many of them.

— Mom, can I play with the birches?

“Only at the edge of the forest, so that we can see you,” Mom allowed, and Nastenka ran to the birch trees.

— Hello little white ones, will you talk to me? she asked, embracing the birch tree and pressing her cheek against it. And then the birch trees rustled with leaves, and she heard:

— And why not talk, girl. We are glad to see you.

Nastenka was confused at first, but quickly got used to it, and began to tell them about how she likes it in the sanatorium.

“Who are you talking to?” she heard her mother's voice.

— With birches, mother, they are so good!

— What kind of fantasies does a child have? Mom turned to Dad.

- It's just a game, first with dolls, then with a flower, and now talking to trees. You won’t have time to look back, how she will grow up and all this will pass, ”papa answered, without looking up from the newspaper. Nastenka heard their conversation, and only sighed sadly, and immediately switched to birch trees. And the birches told her about the forest and about the fact that forest children appear in the forest on a full moon - Poterchata.

— And why only at night and why the full moon? - Nastenka was in a hurry to find out.

— Because they live in a magical world, and the full moon lures them into our forest to play. They are curious and always come. Nastenka really wanted to get to know them. The birches told her:

- Today is a full moon, and if you want to see forest children, then come this night to the old lake. The wind will show the way.

That evening she could not fall asleep for a long time, she recalled her conversation with the birch trees. And at night she was awakened by a whisper:

— Nastenka, get up, new friends are waiting for you.

Nastenka opened her eyes and saw no one. Moonlight illuminated the room and only the wind ruffled the window glass with a slight rattle and in it she guessed the words. I got out of bed and went to the window, it was as bright as day outside, the full moon surrounded by stars filled the sky.

“Come out, Nastenka, they are waiting for you,” the wind whispered through the window again.

Nastenka remembered the conversation with the birches and their invitation to come to the lake at night. She immediately asked them why at night, at this time, the children need to sleep. But they answered that only at night the children of the forest wake up and come out of the surrounding swamps to the old lake, and if she wants to play with them, then only at night. And Nastenka really wanted to and therefore immediately agreed. And now she made up her mind and quietly walked through the room where dad and mom were sleeping, carefully turned the latch in the door and went out into the corridor. It was light there and she easily found her way to the lobby where the aunt on duty was sleeping sweetly, laying her head on her hands folded on the table and freely approached the front door. The night is hot and she was opened to the cool night air, and the girl slipped easily out into the street.

The forest was frighteningly noisy all around: screaming, wheezing, howling somewhere, but all this was blocked by the deafening ringing of cicadas. This forest met her warily and with apprehension. Nastenka suddenly became afraid. And suddenly, behind my back:

“Nastenka, the birches sent me to lead you to the lake, where the forest children will meet you,” she suddenly heard a whisper. Nastenka looked around - no one, and only a warm wind suddenly blew in her back.

“Well, Nastenka, don’t be scared, it’s me, the wind, let’s go, I’ll show you the way,” and he whirled along the path like a whirlwind. The voice of the wind reassured her, because he was her old acquaintance, and she, guessing his outlines, ran after him. And the trees whispered around: look, the wind is leading the girl to the lake to Poterchaty. And Nastenka had already turned after the wind from the alley onto a barely noticeable path in the thicket of the forest where the light of the moon did not fall. At first dark, it suddenly flared up with hundreds of lights.

“These are fireflies, they were sent by Poterchata,” the wind whispered, and she ran further, along a bright living corridor. But here the path ended at the edge of a large swamp lake.

The forest silence was broken by the loud croaking of frogs in the reeds near the shore, and somewhere nearby in the thicket, something angrily hooted and groaned.

— Don't be afraid, girl, it's the eagle owls who are angry, everything is always wrong for them. They saw you and they are indignant, - the wind calmed her.

In front of Nastenka there was a lake, overgrown with reeds and quagmire near the shore and with a huge bald patch of water in the middle, from which a path of clear water stretched to the shore. The wind stirred the reeds and whispered to Nastenka:

- Wait a minute. The forest children are on their way and will be here soon.

“I ran away without permission,” Nastenka hurried to confess to the wind.

— Don't worry, you'll be back before your mom and dad wake up. And now you will have fun with us, be patient a little more. Lost already near, I hear their voices.

- Lost? The birch trees told me that they were forest children, and they live in a magical world. And who are their mothers?

- Their mother is Mermaid and she loves them. So, do you want to play with them?

— Yes, of course I do. Will they come soon?

- Yes, - the wind answered, - they are already on the lake. Wait. And while I'm flying, I'll shake the reeds.

And he swirled the fallen leaves in a whirlwind, rose above the lake and strewed the water surface with them.

Nastenka was fascinated watching how the leaves sway between the sky strewn with stars and the same sky in the depths of the lake. The bright, full moon moved to the very bottom and the lake was like an inverted sky, just as dark and homeless. How interestingly Nastenka thought, so maybe there at the bottom of the lake there is a magical world that the wind told about. She sat down on a stone near the shore, laid her face on her hands and watched with interest how the leaves floated between the sky and the sky of the magical world in the lake. “ Or maybe someone from this world looks at our sky and thinks, where do their stars disappear to? And I already know that they move to us, and during the day they go back home to their world at the bottom of the lake.” - Nastenka thought and did not immediately notice how a boy approached her along the water path.

He was walking straight on the water and his steps made circles as if from a thrown pebble. He was small, maybe half as tall as Nastenka, and looked at her with wide, unblinking eyes, reminiscent of dark plums. He had sand-colored hair and a dark grass jumpsuit, and his bare feet were raking in the water.

- Hello girl. The birch trees say that you hear and see us, and you want to get to know us, what is your name? I’m Wheat,” he blurted out in one breath. And he got ashore next to Nastya.

- Oh, how small you are. I'm Nastenka. And how old are you?

I don't know. And why should I? I'm fine as it is. Do you want to ride the wave with us?

— What kind of wave? - Nastenka was surprised, - I don’t even know how to swim, and it’s night now.

— Why swim? We are riding a wave, now the wind will shake the reeds, and the wave will go, don’t yawn here, jump and slide like a hill, the boy was in a hurry to tell. He took her by the hand and said:

- We asked the Waterman, and he told the water to hold you, and you would not drown. Well, shall we go? Wheat held her hand tightly and walked towards the water. Nastenka cautiously followed, and then she made up her mind and shouted:

- Let's run!

- And they ran out into the water. Indeed, the water became like an air mattress and held her, but just in case, she squeezed Wheat's small hand tighter. They quickly ran to a large watery patch in the middle of the lake and saw dozens of little forest children running, tumbling and laughing loudly in the moonlight.

These are my brothers and sisters, Poterchata. They want to see you - said Pshenichka and shouted to the children:

- Here we are! I brought the girl Nastenka, she sees us and hears us, and wants to ride the wave with us.

And at the same moment the forest children ran towards them from all sides. In one minute they surrounded them and looked at Nastenka with interest.

“Do you really see us?” the smallest one turned to her.

Yes, I see and hear. And what is your name?

- I, the Kid. The smallest and I can’t stay on the wave, she runs away, ”he said sadly. Nastya squatted down and, looking into his eyes, confessed:

— I have never ridden a wave either, but if we are together, the wave will not run away from us. Really, Wheat?

“Okay, Baby, give your hand and hold on tight, the wave will come soon,” Wheat agreed. Nastya also took a small hand. And the three of them began to wait for the wave. Lost with cries: “Wave, wave-on!” They ran to the sides and prepared to catch the wave. Wheat took a deep breath and shouted into the sky:

- Wind, drive the wave, we are waiting !!!

And immediately they began to make a noise, reed thickets near the shore swayed, and now the first wave is rushing towards them.

“Hold Baby tighter, Nastenka, the wave is already close, and as soon as it lifts us, we must immediately descend from the hill, and she will catch up and carry us to the far shore,” Pshenichka hurried. Nastya looked at the approaching wave, and saw how forest children jumped on it. Everything was simple, jump and roll, and the wave itself will pick it up. Wheat carried them away:

- Don't stand still, you need to run away from her, she will catch up and pick you up.

Nastenka ran tightly squeezing Malysh's hand, on the other hand Pshenichka held him, and Malysh kicked through the air without having time to touch the surface of the water. They ran very fast. Nastenka's heart was beating loudly, but she was not afraid, it was fun. And then the water suddenly rose under them, as if a huge hippopotamus had surfaced, they were thrown into the air and, falling, they slid along the surface of the wave, overtaking it, but the wave did not lag behind and tried to slip forward under them, but they rolled down and outstripped it, and rushed to the far shore.

The wind was blowing in the face, the stars were rushing towards them, Nastenka was filled with delight. She was shouting something and tightly squeezing the Kid's hand. They seemed to be flying in the night sky over the lake. Here the wave weakened, slipped under them and rushed off into the reeds, and then the second wave was already approaching, and behind it the third wave was also losing its riders. Forest children with loud laughter jumped to their feet and ran along the reeds back for another wave. At the same time, they made noise and funny somersaults.

Nastenka with Malysh and Pshenichka also ran with them, when suddenly a tremor ran through the water so strong that she and Malysh fell down, but caring Pshenichka helped them up. Although he was small in stature, he turned out to be very strong and easily lifted them.

“That old Kikimora woke up again, she probably smelled you, she doesn't like people,” he turned to Nastenka. But Nastenka did not hear him, she looked frightened at the huge monster rising from the quagmire on the edge of the swamp. In the light of the bright moon, the monster's eyes sparkled menacingly and scoured the lake in search of a victim. She had very long legs and arms and was as tall as the tallest pine tree in the forest. With an unpleasant champ, she walked towards them through the bog, and from her steps the mud flew in fountains in different directions. The forest children rushed into the reeds, shouting merrily among themselves.

“Let's run,” Pshenichka grabbed Nastenka by the arm and dragged her into the reeds. The kid rushed ahead, ahead of them by how many steps. In the reeds, they squatted down so that Kikimora would not see.

- Kikimora smelled you. She didn't like that you were with us. She doesn't like people. But don't be afraid, Vodyanoy is for you, and she is afraid of him. It was she who only decided to scare you so that you would be frightened and not come here again. The spanking of Kikimora's footsteps was receding. And the forest children were already discussing the news.

— What about the magical world? - Nastenka thought to herself, - the birches said that you live in this world. And I want to get into it.

Pshenichka smiled enigmatically and put his finger to his lips:

— Not now, Nastenka, it's a big secret. Do not rush. We've only just become friends. Yes, and the morning is coming soon and it's time for you, until mom and dad woke up.

- Call the Auks, kids! he turned to the victims. And turning to Nastenka, he continued, “the dawn is visible behind the forest, it’s already morning. Auki will take you home.

At that time, she saw vague shadows swirling above them.

“Who is this?” Wheat asked.

- These are our friends Auki, they will take you home.

— How will they carry me? I'm so big, and you can't even see them at all.

— Don't worry, Auki, whoever you want will be carried. The wind helps them.

And Nastenka felt how an invisible stream picked her up, lifted her over the swamp, described a circle above the water. Forest children said goodbye to her, waved their hands. And she heard: “Come to us again, girl-ah.” And then, the invisible beings around her chimed in, “Girl-a-a, girl-a-a, girl-a-a-a.” She rushed over the forest, the wind whispered something unintelligible, and the stars winked amiably, seeing her off. Here comes the dawn. A moment, and she is at the threshold of the sleeping building, where the door is also open and the night duty officer is sleeping sweetly. Nastenka quickly climbed the stairs and, carefully opening the door, slipped into the room where mom and dad were still sleeping, not knowing anything. She tiptoed to her room. Laid down.

“Sweet sleep,” the wind wished her, rustling the leaves outside the window. Nastenka did not answer. She suddenly felt tired and fell asleep.

History about a little girl and an enchanted castle

Alice

Created in the intellectual publishing system Ridero

GOOD GID , which tells about a little girl Kathy

In a small town with small streets and small shops, there lived a little girl named Katherine. But since she was small, everyone called her Katie. Katie had a Mom. Mom was not at all small, at least compared to little Kathy. Mom was an adult: she cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner and went to work like all adults. Kathy and her Mom lived very well together, only sometimes Katherine regretted that there was no dad with them,

Kathy

whom she had never seen. Dad, Katie was sure, is also an adult: he cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner for himself and goes to work. She even felt a little sorry for her Dad: she had a Mom, but he didn’t have a Mom. It's a pity. It must be said that Katie walked the streets a lot (or rather, wandered) and collected various beautiful and interesting things, such as pieces of colored glass, shiny candy wrappers and round pebbles. Less often, it was possible to find whole shells and small toys that came across in chocolate eggs. Katy was very fond of chocolate eggs. But Mom gave them to her only for Christmas and her birthday. Katie was looking for her mother's Magic Cache, where she gets her chocolate eggs from. Kathy was sure it was a wall cabinet in the kitchen. Chocolate eggs appeared in a closed cabinet, and then, when you open the cabinet door, they will stand there, as many as five or even ten pieces! And you can take as much as you want, because the next day there will be new chocolate eggs. So Kathy thought and spent a lot of her very important time looking for the Magic Cache. “Of course,” she said to herself, “I won’t take anything, because I am a well-bred girl. I'll just find and tell my mom about it, and she'll give me a couple of chocolate eggs." But the Cache was never found, and Katie consoled herself by finding chocolate egg toys on the ground, albeit very rarely.

Chapter two, in which little girl Cathy finds a golf ball

Today, after breakfast, she just went in search of interesting and beautiful things. Some time later Cathy found one shard of green glass, two excellent pigeon feathers, one raspberry candy wrapper, and a very small but intact shell that was half the size of little Cathy's fingernail. She was about to return home, taking with her the things she had just collected, when suddenly Kathy saw an almost new, white golf ball not far from her. "This is a real treasure!" Katie thought, and just sat down to take the ball, when suddenly it jumped away from Katie and now lay not far from her. "Strange affair"! Katie thought and slinked over to the ball. She managed to grab him, but he still jumped out of her hands and galloped forward across the black earth. Cathy was a little annoyed that she couldn't get a brand new golf ball. But it was much more interesting for Katie to think that the ball was leading her somewhere. The ball bounced and bounced on the ground, and Katie herself did not notice how she found herself in front of the entrance to the grove, not at all a small grove compared to little Katie. But she wanted to know what the Ball would show her, so, having said a couple of encouraging words to herself, Katie stepped onto the path to the Big Dark Grove. Katie walked, - as it seemed to her - not very long, about as much time as it took her to fall asleep in the evening.

Chloe

A golf ball led her to a plank on a crooked stick and jumped into Cathy's arms. Kathy put the Golf Ball in her pocket with the rest of the treasure. He no longer tried to run away from her. Katie looked at the board. Words were carved on it. Mom taught Katie to read and Katie was very proud that she could put letters into syllables and syllables into words. True, not as fast as Mom, but Katie was told that "for a little girl like Katie, this is not bad." Kathy felt the same way, though she didn't like the expression "little girl" because she didn't think of herself that way. Katie already knew how to wash her plate and feed Tommy, her cat. She even knew how to sweep a little, so she's not small at all. But the author also considers her a little girl, so he will continue to talk about her like that (just don’t tell Kathy about this, she will be very upset, because she treats the author well). Katie read the inscription on the board. Here is what was written there:0003

Adventure Castle and this arrow

Cathy thought. Adventure Castle. It sounded pretty good too. But Katie had never heard of such a castle, it was a little, just a little bit, it alarmed her. Not a single adult talked about him (and as Cathy believed, the adults knew everything). But then she remembered that adults simply don’t talk about a lot. Even when you ask them. Cathy was a curious little girl and even the darkening sky could not stop her when it came to adventures, which in her little life were not as many as she would like.
