About the fairy tale
Russian folk tale is part of the nation's cultural heritage. Children of all ages need to read fairy tales. Through children's fairy tales, a child will be able to get acquainted with the beauty of the great and mighty Russian language. Through meeting fairy-tale characters, the little listener (reader) gradually enters the world of relationships between people.
A good example of a relationship is the fairy tale “The Cockerel is the Golden Comb.” The heroes of this fairy tale are representatives of the animal world. However, all the events that occur in a fairy tale can always be connected with real life. All relationships between fairy-tale characters can be considered as an example of relationships between people.
So, in one magical fairy-tale forest, three bosom friends lived and lived: a cat, a blackbird and a cockerel - a golden comb. The cat and the blackbird were busy with their daily work. Every day the friends went into the forest to get firewood. Cockerel, as the youngest, was left at home, in the hut, to manage the housework. And they always sternly warned him that he must sit quietly in the hut and not look out the window. And if a cheating fox appears, then don’t even vote.
Everything that the cat and the blackbird feared happened to the cockerel on the very first day when they went out to collect firewood. The sly fox learned that the cat and blackbird would not be at home. She came to her friends’ house and began in a gentle voice to persuade the cockerel to look out the window. She promised to give him peas. He leaned out the window. The red-haired cheat grabbed her prey and dragged her to her home.
The cockerel got scared and began loudly calling his friends for help. The cat and the blackbird heard calls for help. They ran and saved their naughty comrade. On the second day they began to gather in the forest thicket for firewood. And again they warned the cockerel not to listen to the sly fox. The cockerel would be glad to listen to his friends. But the red-haired cheat again outwitted the cockerel. Once again the cat and the thrush came to the rescue of their feathered friend.
On the third day everything happened again. The cat and the thrush went into the forest to get firewood. The cockerel was given strict orders not to listen to the fox's entreaties. The cockerel promised his older comrades to sit quietly and not lean out of the window. But natural curiosity defeated caution and prudence. The fox came and again lured the cockerel out with deception and temptation. He looked out the window and the red-haired beast, clutching him tightly, dragged him towards her home.
In vain the cockerel called on his faithful friends for help. They were very far from home and did not hear him. For the third time, the cat and the blackbird had to save their foolish friend. They rushed in the footsteps of the red-haired thief and found her hole. They gave her good blows. The cat tore it with its claws, and the blackbird pecked at it painfully. They took the cockerel and all went home together.
This tale can serve as a good example of what happens to naughty children when they do not listen to their elders. And also in the content of this story there is an example of true friendship and mutual assistance. It was the friends who came to the aid of the cockerel in difficult times.

Once upon a time there was a cat, a thrush and a cockerel - a golden comb. They lived in the forest, in a hut. The cat and the blackbird go into the forest to chop wood, and leave the cockerel alone.
If they leave, they are severely punished:
We will go far, but you stay housekeeper and don’t raise your voice; when the fox comes, don't look out the window.
The fox found out that the cat and thrush were not at home, ran to the hut, sat under the window and sang:
Cockerel, cockerel,
golden comb,
Oil head,
Silk beard,
Look out the window
I'll give you some peas.
The cockerel put his head out the window. The fox grabbed him in her claws and carried him to her hole.
The cockerel crowed:
The fox is carrying me
For the dark forests,
For fast rivers,
For the high mountains...
Cat and blackbird, save me!..
The cat and the blackbird heard it, gave chase and took the cockerel from the fox.
Another time, the cat and the blackbird went into the forest to chop wood and again punished:
Well, now, rooster, don’t look out the window, we’ll go even further, we won’t hear your voice.
They left, and the fox again ran to the hut and sang:
Cockerel, cockerel,
golden comb,
Oil head,
Silk beard,
Look out the window
I'll give you some peas.
The boys were running
The wheat was scattered
The chickens are pecking
Roosters are not given...
Ko-ko-ko! How come they don’t?!
The fox grabbed him in her claws and carried him to her hole.
The cockerel crowed:
The fox is carrying me
For the dark forests,
For fast rivers,
For the high mountains...
Cat and blackbird, save me!..
The cat and the blackbird heard it and rushed in pursuit. The cat is running, the blackbird is flying... They caught up with the fox - the cat is fighting, the blackbird is pecking, and the cockerel is taken away.
Whether long or short, the cat and the blackbird gathered again in the forest to chop wood. When leaving, they strictly punish the cockerel:
Don’t listen to the fox, don’t look out the window, we’ll go even further and won’t hear your voice.
And the cat and the blackbird went far into the forest to chop wood. And the fox is right there: he sat under the window and sings:
Cockerel, cockerel,
golden comb,
Oil head,
Silk beard,
Look out the window
I'll give you some peas.
The cockerel sits and says nothing. And the fox again:
The boys were running
The wheat was scattered
The chickens are pecking
Roosters are not given...
The cockerel keeps quiet. And the fox again:
People were running
Nuts were poured
The chickens are pecking
Roosters are not given...
The cockerel put his head out the window:
Ko-ko-ko! How come they don’t?!
The fox grabbed him tightly in her claws and carried him into her hole, beyond the dark forests, beyond the fast rivers, beyond the high mountains... No matter how much the cockerel screamed or called, the cat and the blackbird did not hear him. And when we returned home, the cockerel was gone.
The cat and the blackbird ran along the fox's tracks. The cat is running, the blackbird is flying...
We ran to the fox's hole. The cat set up the caterpillars and let’s practice:
Ringing, rattling, harpers,
Golden strings...
Is Lisafya-kuma still at home?
Are you in your warm nest?
The fox listened, listened and thought:
“Let me see who plays the harp so well and hums sweetly.”
She took it and crawled out of the hole. The cat and the blackbird grabbed her - and began to beat and beat her. They beat and beat her until she lost her legs.
They took the cockerel, put it in a basket and brought it home.
And from then on they began to live and be, and they still live...
The coming 2017 is the Year of the Rooster. On January 28, 2017, the Fire Monkey will transfer its powers to the Rooster. He is bright and demonstrative, elegant and sociable.
From early childhood, the youngest book lovers see this bird on the pages of children's publications. After all, there are a huge number of nursery rhymes, songs, poems, fairy tales and proverbs where the rooster is the main character.
Petya-Cockerel is an affectionate nickname for a rooster in fairy tales. His image is colorful and bright. Examples of rooster behavior largely coincide with human behavior. In some fairy tales, he is weak, frivolous, disobedient, overly trusting and self-confident. His disobedience and violation of prohibitions leads to trouble. A striking example of this is the fairy tale “The Cockerel is a Golden Comb,” where a fox steals it, and his friends rush to his rescue.
In others, he is a sage, adviser, assistant and protector of the weak, a good watchman, cunning and quick-witted, possessing magical powers. This image can be seen in such folk tales as “Zayushkina’s Hut”, “The Golden Comb Cockerel and the Miracle Chalk”, “The Rooster and the Millstones”.
In folklore, the rooster is a symbol of protecting the house from evil. The red comb on the head of a rooster is a symbol of knowledge and talents, mostly literary ones. Spurs on the paws are a symbol of fearlessness. The Rooster is not afraid of difficulties. He diligently rakes the ground with his paws and finds a grain of pearl. This means that the rooster is a hardworking bird. As, for example, in the fairy tale “The Cockerel and Two Mice.”
As a literary hero endowed with character, he is especially often found in the author's fairy tales and fables. Let us remember “The Tale of the Golden Cockerel” by A.S. Pushkin, “Rooster and Weathervane” by G.H. Andersen, “Rooster and Dog” by K. Ushinsky, “Rooster and Paints” by V. Suteev, “Who is the Most Beautiful?” E. Karganova, fables by I.A. Krylov and S. Mikhalkov.
The people created a multi-valued image of the Cockerel - their favorite: if in a fairy tale he is an assistant to poor people, protecting them from the rich, skeptical of kings, then in proverbs and jokes the Cockerel is different - perky, daring, always ready for battle. His name was used to define the condition of some people - to rooster... A rooster is a name given to a perky fighter. The rooster is always with the people: time is counted by it (“Rise before the roosters”, “With the roosters”, “First roosters - midnight”, “Second - before dawn”, “Third - dawn”).
In proverbs, the image of a rooster is versatile - it is both a helper in the house and a master in the chicken coop, although sometimes he is arrogant, pugnacious and stupid, but he is always beautiful. Here are some well-known proverbs: “A good housewife will cook a rooster’s ear” (this is what they say about a skillful person), “He got caught like a rooster in the pluck” (symbolizes a person in trouble), “When a roast rooster pecks” (means until trouble happens), “The cuckoo praises the rooster because he praises the cuckoo” (this is what they say when they hint at the insincerity of someone’s praise).
Riddles about the rooster have been around since ancient times. Basically, the mystery is based on the beautiful appearance of this bird, and its ability to wake everyone up in the morning with its loud voice. Due to its proud posture and spurs, riddles equate the cockerel with members of the princely and royal family. Pomposity, arrogance, beauty, courage and apparent severity are also noted in riddles about the cockerel.
Tail with patterns,
Boots with spurs,
At night he sings,
Time is counting.
There lived an old man and an old woman, and they lived in great poverty. The only bellies they had were a rooster and a dog, and they fed them poorly. So the dog says to the rooster:
- Come on, brother Petka, let's go into the forest: life here is bad for us.
“Let’s leave,” says the rooster, “it won’t get any worse.”
So they went wherever they looked. We wandered around all day; It was getting dark - it was time to stop for the night. They left the road into the forest and chose a large hollow tree. The rooster flew up onto a branch, the dog climbed into the hollow and fell asleep.
In the morning, just as dawn began to break, the rooster cried: “Ku-ku-re-ku!” The fox heard the rooster; She wanted to eat rooster meat. So she went up to the tree and began praising the rooster:
- What a rooster! I have never seen such a bird: what beautiful feathers, what a red comb, and what a clear voice! Fly to me, handsome.
- What business? - asks the rooster. 
- Let's go visit me: today is my housewarming party, and I have a lot of peas in store for you.
“Okay,” says the rooster, “but I can’t go alone: my comrade is with me.”
“This is such happiness! - thought the fox. “Instead of one rooster there will be two.”
- Where is your friend? - she asks. - I’ll invite him to visit too.
“He spends the night there in the hollow,” answers the rooster.
The fox rushed into the hollow, and the dog grabbed its muzzle - tsap!.. Caught and tore the fox to pieces.
The New Year was approaching us by leaps and bounds. We were waiting for him. We looked at the road, looked out the windows. And now he is on the threshold. New Year - Year of the Rooster. What kind of rooster is he? Stately, bright, with his head held high. We know what song the rooster sings from the cradle. Simple, but he’s not a nightingale. The cockerel is credited with a golden comb, which means this bird is not simple...
Fairy tale "Year of the Rooster"
The young rooster Petya heard that the new year is the year of the rooster. He was happy and cheered up. He strides importantly, mutters something, holds his nose up. He feels like an important bird.
“At last they will pay attention to me,” thought the rooster, “otherwise no matter how hard I try, and I wake up before everyone else, I don’t get the attention I deserve.” They often say:
“Our cockerel didn’t get a comb, but he’s crowing there.”
Petya decided to behave differently. Crow later, take away the best grains from the hens, and don’t say hello to the yard dog Corporal.
The corporal looked for a day or two, and then asked Petya:
- What is it, Golden Comb, that you stopped saying hello?
“Today my year is coming,” said the rooster, “I am now the most important.” Now you, Corporal, must greet me first.
The dog got offended by the rooster and muttered:
“The fox will come running from the forest, so I won’t say anything, take care of yourself!”
But Petya doesn’t care at all. He also managed to quarrel with the chickens. Petya was left alone. And I got bored...
And it was not for nothing that the Corporal remembered the fox. She's right there. But Petya managed to escape; luck was on his side this time. But he firmly decided not to quarrel with the Corporal anymore. And improve relations with the chickens. Petya came to their side. But they don’t want to make peace, they tell him:
“Whoever turns up his nose too much often ends up with his nose up.”
But then, the most sensible hen, hen Ryaba, went to war, and after her all the others. The corporal also did not resist and extended his paw to Petya.
Peace came to the large courtyard family. And for the New Year they organized a big celebration. The rooster no longer bullied, he liked to be just a friend to everyone.
The main idea of the fairy tale is that sometimes circumstances take us high, and a person begins to behave differently with friends - he puts on airs and acts arrogantly. Here friendship or even just friendly relations can crack. Moral - with those people who are dear to you, no matter what the circumstances, behave kindly. Good people are wealth.
What proverbs fit the fairy tale?
Don't look too high: you'll spoil your eyes.
Be simpler - and people will be drawn to you.
No matter how you pout, you won’t be higher than the pie.
