The wolf and the seven kids Russian folk. The wolf and the seven kids - Russian folk tale

Once upon a time there was a goat with kids. The goat went to the forest to eat silk grass, drink cold water. As soon as he leaves, the kids will lock the hut and will not go anywhere themselves. The goat will return, knock on the door and sing:

- Little kids, kids!

Open up, open up!

Milk runs along the mark,

From a notch on a hoof,

From a hoof into a damp earth!

The kids will unlock the door and let their mother in. She will feed them, give them water and go back to the forest, and the kids will lock themselves tightly.

The wolf overheard the goat singing. Once the goat left, the wolf ran to the hut and shouted in a thick voice:

- You kids!

You little kids!

Open up,

Open up,

Your mother came,

She brought milk.

Hooves of water are full!

The kids answer him:

The wolf has nothing to do. He went to the smithy and ordered his throat to be reforged so that he could sing in a thin voice. The blacksmith reforged his throat. The wolf again ran to the hut and hid behind a bush.

Here comes the goat and knocks:

- Little kids, kids!

Open up, open up!

Your mother came and brought milk;

Milk runs along the mark,

From a notch on a hoof,

From a hoof into a damp earth!

The kids let their mother in and let's tell how the wolf came and wanted to eat them.

The goat fed and watered the kids and strictly punished:

- Whoever comes to the hut, will ask in a thick voice so that he does not go over everything that I am lamenting you - do not open the door, do not let anyone in.

As soon as the goat left, the wolf again walked to the hut, knocked and began to lament in a thin voice:

- Little kids, kids!

Open up, open up!

Your mother came and brought milk;

Milk runs along the mark,

From a notch on a hoof,

From a hoof into a damp earth!

The kids opened the door, the wolf rushed into the hut and ate all the kids. Only one kid was buried in the stove.

The goat comes; no matter how much she called or wail, no one answered her. She saw - the door was open, she ran into the hut - there was no one there. I looked into the oven and found one kid.

How the goat found out about her misfortune, how she sat down on the bench - she began to grieve, cry bitterly:

- Oh, you, my children, little kids!

What did they open-open,

Did the evil wolf get it?

The wolf heard this, enters the hut and says to the goat:

- What are you sinning on me, godfather? I didn't eat your kids. Grieve completely, let's go to the forest, take a walk.

They went into the forest, and there was a hole in the forest, and a fire was burning in the hole. The goat says to the wolf:

- Come on, wolf, let's try, who will jump over the pit?

They began to jump. The goat jumped, and the wolf jumped, and even tumbled into the hot pit.

His belly burst from the fire, the kids jumped out of there, all alive, yes - jump to the mother! And they began to live and live as before.

The goat mother, leaving the house, warns her kids to be afraid of the wolf roaming nearby. The wolf, taking advantage of the opportune moment, knocks on the kids and declares that he is their mother. They say in response that their mother's voice is soft, while his voice is rough. The wolf eats a piece of honey to soften its voice. According to another version, the blacksmith forges a new melodious throat for the wolf. However, the kids still do not let him in: their mother's paws are white, and not black, like a wolf's. He goes to the mill and stains his paws in flour. The kids let in the wolf, which immediately eats them all, except for the smallest one hiding in the stove.

Returning home, the mother-goat sees the defeat perpetrated by the wolf, and the smallest goat that escaped, who tells her about what happened. She goes after the wolf and finds him sleeping with a full stomach, in which something is swarming. The mother goat rips open the wolf's belly, and from there six kids appear alive, after which she fills the belly with stones. The next morning, the goat met the wolf and invited him to compete in jumping over the fire, the goat jumped, the wolf also jumped, but the stones pulled him down. The wolf burned out.

About the fairy tale

Russian folk tale "The Wolf and the Seven Kids"

The tale "The Wolf and the Seven Kids" has a large number of editions and different versions. There is such a fairy tale in the collection of the collector of Russian fairy tales A.N. Afanasyeva, there she appears as a Russian folk. The authorship of the plot is attributed to famous storytellers - the Brothers Grimm. However, their version is significantly different from the one that is known to the reader as Russian folk and is presented on our website.

There are two conceptual layers in the tale. The first of these is what lies on the surface and is intended for young children, not so much as a complex didactic subtext containing deep morality, but as a concrete guide to action. The second (more complex and hidden) - symbolic, became the reason that the fairy tale "The Wolf and the Seven Kids" is a source of serious analysis for many researchers.

Despite this, it is the outer plan of the tale that carries the educational function. Each of us learned the lesson of this story in childhood. First, in the absence of adults, the door cannot be opened by strangers. Secondly, evil has cunning and cunning, so you need to not only listen to the instructions of your elders, but also listen to your own mind.

The plot and characters of the fairy tale

The text of the tale unfolds before the reader in a condensed form the story of a family where there is a mother - a goat, and there are children - goats. The family lives in a deep forest very secluded. The goat is the embodiment of the image of a caring and loving mother. Every day she is forced to leave her children to work up milk and feed the kids. Upon returning home, the goat is recognized by the children using a short, catchy song-verse. This song serves as a kind of password code so that children can easily recognize their mother and let them into the house. But it is this song that becomes the cause of the misfortune that happened further along the course of the plot. As often happens in Russian fairy tales, the wolf becomes the source of unhappiness. His image in the work is quite classic and traditional. The wolf is the embodiment of evil, a cunning and cruel character. The wolf in this tale has a cunning mind, which is usually not characteristic of him in folklore (much more often the wolf is evil, but stupid). The wolf's cunning was enough not only to overhear and memorize the song of the goat, but also to make himself a thinner voice. To do this, he even had to go to a blacksmith and reforge his throat. As a result, the wolf's plan succeeded, and the kids were eaten. However, despite the fact that the wolf is endowed with intelligence, he has no intuition at all: he not only came to the goat, mourning his children, but also agreed to her proposal to jump over the pit of fire. Not appreciating its capabilities, the wolf could not jump over the fire and fell. As a result, the kids were free. Good turned out to be stronger than evil.

Seven kids is another image that the reader can observe. This is a collective image. The main quality that they possess is obedience, because they exactly followed the instructions of their mother and did not open the door to the wolf when he sang in an insufficiently subtle voice. But it turned out that obedience alone was not enough. Evil can take on such sophisticated forms that it is simply impossible to do without a serious thought process. This is exactly what the poor kids lacked. However, thanks to the wisdom of the goat mother, the kids managed to escape, and the story ended happily.
