Short Tales - read free online

Short Tales - author's and folk works that will entertain you and your child. They are usually read and told to young children, when the ability to keep attention on one thing in children reaches only a few minutes. These tales are good for entertainment on the road, do not tire the listeners with an abundance of events and details of the story, and also give the kids pleasant emotions before going to bed. The brevity of creations is not a hindrance to the meaning of fairy tales. They, like others, teach kindness and ridicule human shortcomings.
