The fairy tale Geese and Swans tells how a sister saved her brother, who was carried away by geese-swans. A mouse, an apple tree and a river help the girl deceive the evil Baba Yaga.
There lived a man and a woman. They had a daughter and a little son.
Daughter,” the mother said, “we’ll go to work, take care of your brother!” Don't leave the yard, be smart - we'll buy you a handkerchief.
The father and mother left, and the daughter forgot what she was ordered to do: she sat her brother down on the grass under the window, ran outside, started playing, and took a walk.
The swan geese swooped in, picked up the boy, and carried him away on their wings.
The girl returned, lo and behold, her brother was gone! She gasped, rushed back and forth - no!
She called to him, burst into tears, lamented that it would be bad for her father and mother, but her brother did not respond.
She ran out into an open field and only saw: swan geese darted in the distance and disappeared behind the dark forest. Then she realized that they had taken away her brother: geese-swans had long had a bad reputation - that they played pranks and carried away small children.
The girl rushed to catch up with them.
She ran and ran and saw that there was a stove
Stove, stove, tell me, where did the swan geese fly?
The stove answers her:
Eat my rye pie - I'll tell you.
- I’ll eat rye pie! My father doesn’t even eat wheat...
Apple tree, apple tree, tell me, where did the geese and swans fly?
- Eat my forest apple - I’ll tell you.
- My father doesn’t even eat garden ones...
The milk river, the banks of jelly, where did the swan geese fly?
- Eat my simple jelly with milk - I’ll tell you.
- My father doesn’t even eat cream...
She ran for a long time through the fields and forests. The day is approaching evening, there is nothing to do - we need to go home. Suddenly he sees a hut standing on a chicken leg, about one window, turning around.
In the hut old Baba Yaga spins a tow
And my brother is sitting on the bench, playing with silver apples.
The girl entered the hut:
Hello, grandma!
- Hello, girl! Why did she appear?
“I walked through mosses and swamps, got my dress wet, and came to warm up.”
- Sit down while you spin the tow.
Baba Yaga gave her a spindle and left. The girl is spinning - suddenly a mouse runs out from under the stove and says to her:
Girl, girl, give me some porridge, I’ll tell you something nice.
The girl gave her porridge, the mouse said to her:
Baba Yaga went to heat the bathhouse. She will wash you, steam you, put you in an oven, fry you and eat you, and ride on your bones herself.
The girl sits neither alive nor dead, crying, and the mouse tells her again:
Don’t wait, take your brother, run, and I’ll spin the tow for you.
The girl took her brother and ran. And Baba Yaga comes to the window and asks:
Maiden, are you spinning?
The mouse answers her:
I'm spinning, grandma...
Baba Yaga heated the bathhouse and went after the girl. And there is no one in the hut. Baba Yaga shouted:
Swan geese! Fly in pursuit! My sister took my brother away!..
The sister and brother ran to the milk river. He sees geese-swans flying.
River, mother, hide me!
Eat my simple jelly.
The girl ate and said thank you. The river sheltered her under the jelly bank.
The swan geese didn't see it, they flew past
The girl and her brother ran again. And the swan geese have returned, they are flying towards us, they are about to see you. What to do? Trouble! The apple tree is standing...
Apple tree, mother, hide me!
- Eat my forest apple.
The girl quickly ate it and said thank you. The apple tree shaded it with branches and covered it with leaves.
The geese-swans did not see it, they flew past.
The girl ran again. He runs, he runs, he’s not far away. Then the geese-swans saw her, cackled - they swooped in, beat her with their wings, and look, they would tear her brother out of her hands.
The girl ran to the stove:
Oven, mother, hide me!
- Eat my rye pie.
The girl rather put a pie in her mouth, and she and her brother went into the oven, sat down in the stomata.
The geese-swans flew and flew, screamed and shouted, and flew away empty-handed to Baba Yaga.
The girl said thank you to the stove and ran home with her brother.
And then the father and mother came.
There lived an old man and an old woman; they had a daughter and a little son.
- Daughter, daughter! - said the mother. - We’ll go to work, bring you a bun, sew a dress, buy a scarf; be smart, take care of your brother, don’t leave the yard.
The elders left, and the daughter forgot what she was ordered to do; I sat my brother down on the grass under the window, and she ran outside, started playing, and took a walk. Geese-swans swooped in, picked up the boy, and carried him away on their wings.
The girl came, and lo and behold, her brother was gone! She gasped, rushed back and forth - no! She called, burst into tears, lamented that it would be bad from her father and mother, but her brother did not respond!
She ran out into an open field; Geese-swans darted in the distance and disappeared behind the dark forest.
Geese-swans have long gained a bad reputation for themselves, they did a lot of mischief and kidnapped small children; the girl guessed that they had taken her brother away and rushed to catch up with them. She ran and ran, and the stove stood still.
- Stove, stove, tell me, where did the geese fly?
“Eat my rye pie,” I’ll say.
- Oh, my father doesn’t eat wheat!
- Apple trees, apple trees, tell me, where did the geese fly?
“Eat my forest apple,” I’ll say.
- Oh, my father doesn’t even eat garden vegetables!
- Milk river, jelly banks, where did the geese fly?
“Eat my simple jelly with milk,” I’ll say.
- Oh, my father can’t even eat cream!
And for a long time she would have run through the fields and wandered through the forest, but, fortunately, she came across a hedgehog; She wanted to push him, she was afraid of getting hurt and asked:
- Hedgehog, hedgehog, did you see where the geese flew?
- Over there! - pointed.
She ran - there was a hut on chicken legs, standing and turning. A Baba Yaga sits in a hut, with a sinewy face and a clay leg; My brother is sitting on a bench, playing with golden apples. His sister saw him, crept up, grabbed him and carried him away; and the geese fly after her; the villains will catch up, where to go? A milk river runs along the banks of jelly.
- Mother River, hide me!
- Eat my jelly!
Nothing to do, I ate. The river planted her under the bank, the geese flew by. She came out and said: “Thank you!” - and again runs with his brother; and the geese have returned and are flying towards. What to do? Trouble! There are apple trees.
- Apple tree, mother apple tree, hide me!
- Eat my forest apple!
I ate it quickly. The apple tree shaded it with branches and covered it with leaves; the geese flew by. She went out and ran again with her brother, and the geese saw them and followed her; They swoop down completely, they’re already beating with their wings, and before you know it, they’ll rip you out of your hands! Fortunately, there is a stove on the road.
- Madam stove, hide me!
- Eat my rye pie!
The girl quickly put the pie in her mouth, and herself into the oven, sat down in the mouth. The geese flew and flew, screamed and shouted, and flew away with nothing.
And she ran home, and it’s good that she managed to run, and then her father and mother came.
There lived a man and a woman. They had a daughter and a little son.
“Daughter,” the mother said, “we’ll go to work, take care of your brother!” Don't leave the yard, be smart - we'll buy you a handkerchief.
