Come to us, Aunt Duck,

Rock our baby.

Ha-ha-ha, go to sleep, little one!

After the rain in the garden

Come to us, Aunt Toad,

Rock our baby.

Sleep, little mouse, until the morning,

I'll give you a mosquito.

The mother mouse began to think:

We need to call the chicken

Come to us, Aunt Klusha,

Rock our baby.

The hen clucked:

Where-where! Don't be afraid, baby!

Get under your wing!

It's quiet and warm there.

Silly little mouse

He answers her sleepily:

You won't fall asleep like that!

The mother mouse ran

I started calling the pike to be my nanny:

Come to us, Aunt Pike,

Rock our baby.

The pike began to sing to the mouse -

He didn't hear a sound:

The pike opens its mouth

But you can’t hear what he’s singing...

Silly little mouse

He answers her sleepily:

You sing too quietly! -

The mother mouse ran

I started calling the cat to be my nanny:

Come to us, aunt cat,

Rock our baby.

The cat began to sing to the mouse:

Meow-meow, sleep, my baby!

Meow-meow, let's go to bed,

Meow-meow, on the bed.

Silly little mouse

You sing very sweetly!..

The mother mouse came running,

I looked at the bed

Looking for a stupid mouse

But the mouse is nowhere to be seen.

The Tale of a Smart Mouse

The cat took the mouse away
And he sings: “Don’t be afraid, baby.”
Let's play for an hour or two
Cat and mouse, dear!

Scared little mouse
He answers her sleepily:
- Our mother's cat and mouse game
She didn't tell us to play.

Well, what do I care?
What didn't she tell you?
Play with me, my light! -
And the mouse answered her:

I'd like to play a little
Just - mind you! - I'll be a cat.
You, cat, at least for an hour
Be a mouse this time!

The cat Murka laughed:
- Oh, you, smoky skin,
Whatever I call you,
A mouse cannot be a cat!

The mouse says to Murka:
- Well then, let's play blind man's buff!
Blindfold your eyes with a scarf
And catch me later.

The cat is blindfolded,
But he looks from under the bandage.
Let the mouse run away
And again the poor thing - grab it!

Laughter for the cat, grief for the mouse...
He found a gap in the fence.
He doesn’t know how he got through.
There was a mouse - but it disappeared.

He rolled down the hill,
He sees: a small mink.
An animal lived in this hole -
A long, narrow ferret.

Sharp-toothed, sharp-eyed,
He was a thief and a thief
And it happened every day
Stole chickens from villages.

The ferret came from hunting.
The guest asks: - Who are you?
Kohl fell into my hole,
Play my game!

Cat and mouse or blind man's buff? -
Says the nimble mouse.

No, not blind man's buff. We ferrets
We prefer “corners”.

Well, let's play, but first
Let's do the math, perhaps.

I am an animal
And you are an animal,
I am a mouse
You are a ferret
You are cunning
And I'm smart
Who is smart
He got out!

Stop! - the ferret shouts to the mouse
And runs after him.

And the mouse goes straight into the forest
And he climbed under an old stump.
The squirrels began to call the mouse:
- Come out and play burners!

“I have,” he says, “
Without playing, your back burns!

At this time along the path
An animal was walking, scarier than a cat.
It looked like a brush.
It was, of course, a hedgehog.

And a hedgehog was walking towards
All covered in needles, like a dressmaker.

The hedgehog shouted to the mouse:
- You can’t escape hedgehogs!

Here comes my mistress,
Play tag with her,
And leapfrog with me.
Come out quickly - I'm waiting!

And the mouse heard it,
Yes, I thought about it and didn’t come out.
- I don’t want to go into leapfrog:
I'll end up on pins and needles!

The hedgehog and the hedgehog waited a long time,
And the mouse is quiet and quiet
Along the path between the bushes
He slipped through - and there he was!

He reached the edge of the forest.
He hears frogs croaking:
- Guard! Trouble! Kwa-kwa!
An owl is flying towards us!

Look, the little mouse is rushing
Either a cat or a bird,
All speckled, crocheted beak,
The feathers are variegated and erect.
And the eyes burn like little bowls,
Twice as much as a cat.

The mouse's spirit froze.
He hid under a burdock.

And the owl is getting closer, closer,
And the owl keeps getting lower and lower
And shouts in the silence of the night:
- Play, my friend, with me!

The mouse squeaked: -
Hide and seek? -
And he set off without looking back,
He disappeared into the mown grass.
An owl won't find it.

The owl searched until the morning.
In the morning I stopped seeing.
The old woman sat down on an oak tree
And the eyes magnify and magnify.

And the mouse washed his snout
He carried some water and no soap
And he went to look for his home,
Where were the mother and father?

He walked, walked, climbed the hill
And below I saw a mink.

The mother mouse is so happy!
Well, hug a mouse.
And sisters and brothers
They play mouse and mouse about him.

Quiet fairy taleThis fairy tale you will read
Quiet, quiet, quiet...

Once upon a time there was a gray hedgehog
And his hedgehog.

The gray hedgehog was very quiet
And the hedgehog too.
And they had a child -
A very quiet hedgehog.

The whole family goes for a walk
At night along the paths
Hedgehog father, hedgehog mother
And a baby hedgehog.

Along the deep autumn paths
They walk quietly: thump, thump, thump...

The forest people have been sleeping for a long time.
Both the beast and the bird sleep.
But in the darkness, in the silence of the night
Two wolves can't sleep.

They're going to rob
Wolves with quiet steps...
The hedgehogs heard them,
The needles were raised.

They became round like a ball -
No heads, no legs.
They say:
-Hide your head
Cringe, cute hedgehog!

The hedgehog shrank upright
Raised a hundred needles...
The wolf spun like a top,
He whined and jumped.

Paw - push, teeth - click.
And he's afraid to bite.
The wolf walked away limping,
The she-wolf came up.

She twirls the hedgehog:
His back is all around.
Where is the neck, belly,
Nose and both ears?..

She started to ride
Ball on the way.
And the hedgehogs are father and mother -
Wolf legs prick.

At the hedgehog and the hedgehog
Needles like a Christmas tree.
Snarling and trembling,
The wolves are retreating.

Hedgehogs whisper to the hedgehog:
- Don't move, lie down.
We don't trust wolves
And don’t trust them either!

They wouldn't leave so soon
Go away wolves,
Yes I heard it in the distance
Shot from a double-barreled shotgun.

The dog barked and fell silent...
The wolf says to the she-wolf:

Something is wrong with me.
I would cringe too...
I'll hide it, old woman,
Nose and tail under the belly!

And she answered him:
- Stop the empty talk!
I don't have with you
Not a single needle.
The forester will take us alive.
We better leave on time!

And they left with their tails between their legs,
A wolf and a she-wolf in the bushes.

The hedgehog will return to the forest house,
Hedgehog and hedgehog.
If you read a fairy tale
Quiet.
Quiet,
Quiet...
