The main hero of M. Stelmakh's story "Swan-Geese Fly" is a little boy Mikhailik, who is a spirited sunshine and never before. A mustache, scho to see about a new one, is a great reference to a miracle. Yak and skinny happy lyudin, Mikhailik in my life. Great speeches to grant you happiness.

Problems like Mikhailik's turbulence, for someone, at first glance, can be dumb, but for the new stench they are superbly important: how to get to the theater, how to go barefoot to the hut, so my mother didn’t bother, by the way, I’m reading a book.

I want Mikhailik to be a little bitch, but at the same time it’s possible to say about him, what’s a good guy and a good fellow, because he’s grown old and good, in the place of seeing evil people from good people, people who are good people, people who have and become a reader. Love Mikhaylyk and otochuyuchі: the dear boy Lyuba is put to the boy's yak to the dear friend, Mar'yan will help him to help, and Uncle Sebastian will see the great hour with Mikhailik.

Begin to make a beautiful and even worse picture: "Swans are spilling right over our hut." They carried life and spring on the krill. “And at the end of the hour, a miracle is happening over me: it’s invisible with a sweep of wire over the blue child, over the smallest chills, and the stench took off, like a violin. I am drawn to burn, and I don’t believe myself: as I know, swans are spilling over our hut! A violin and a seemingly middle-aged mind to shave, to find one over my child, to take my soul to the krill and take it away into the unrecognized dalina. І good, і wondrous, і radіnі to me, small, in the world of light .. ". There is only one image to the creation, sooner a symbol of the swan's beauty and a symbol of shvidkoplinnyh, unique rock of the childhood, which add to the vision of the light of the day to the brightest, kind, and abrupt. The very same yogo bachiv Mikhailik, the same yogo bachiv and the writer M. Stelmakh.

Tsikavo, ale in the story "Swan-geese to fly" there are a lot of negative characters. There are positive images, then the most tsikavim and the birth of Mikhailik - yogh mother and father, did Dem'yan and granny. I’m looking for a boy, I’m unaware of the sweethearts and the “golden hands”. Winning a lot of wisdom, a lot of help to people who "know us all about." For the beloved bull "earth, virgin woman and pisnya". Vin nastilki povazhav his squad, so if he turned around from the money, did not see the wake up and spent nothing at all. "... Bilya woke up the squad and having taken my father, the last dream and cold." Did Dem'yan was sick and not barred dead. She didn’t survive her own cholovik and grandmother Mikhailik.

The little guy is still in love with his grandmother. And the most befitting of us should be in the garden. Vaughn planted with trees, even with relatives, and Mikhailikov was just as befitting. Tse bula lyudin, which was born in a few hours of beauty. Vona did not miss her life without Demyan's grandfather: "... Already the last life has passed, so old were they lived, now they were young: not only in public, but just like the stench, weighed down with bully delikatny, respectable, welcome." To that, mabut, I could not get lost on the whole light by itself. She chided, cleaned up the hut, she died on the coming day.

In the image of Father Mikhaylik Panas Dem'yanovich, the writer infused the villagers' wisdom and kindness, which is so characteristic of the wicked, other than the laborers-hliborobiv. All his life was done on the ground, on those tanned tithes, she was a goddess, she was a goddess, and she was holding one and the other in the world.

Mati Mikhaylika Hanna Ivanivna is a visitor to the creation of a beautiful beauty. Wonder to be built as a sprawling woman-coastline, as Mikhaylyk made him love the beauty of the sonny sleepyhead, the rank fog, the Kalini and the vranishnaya dew. Hanna Ivanivna did not dare to write and read, but with books for her there was a vegetable garden and a garden, herbs and kits, hlib and a field. Vona hoch і lived a mustache of life in poor condition, didn’t go to her lot. Vona loved her generosity, her garden, her garden and her village. Nevtomna work, she’s grasped her sina to the pratsi, she’s familiar with the pratsi know and find joy: “... I won’t love it, she’s sheaves, bully garnimi, yak children, and half-bales, nacha boys, shoulder to shoulder. I even fell in love with stubble, when I could go on the cart and marvel at the dawn, at the Chumatsky Shlyakh, at Stozhari and at the other Viz, who was born from the girls' slozins. "

Another tsikavi character of the story "Swan-Geese Flying" is a school friend and a friend of Mikhail Lyuba. Tsya divchinka Bula with the most kindness and generosity, there is a movi vipromynuvala sonce. Luba was a sportive fox, kingly, superstitiously chuy and sparing girl, she knew even more richly the tame nature. She helped to take the decision of the homeland of the Stelmakhs not to see the Kherson steppe from Podilla.

Once upon a time there was a husband and wife. They had a daughter, Mashenka, and a son, Vanyushka.

Once the father and mother gathered in the city and said to Masha:

Well, daughter, be smart: don't go anywhere, take care of your brother. And we will bring you presents from the bazaar.

Here father and mother left, and Masha put her brother on the grass under the window and ran out into the street, to her friends.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, geese-swans flew in, grabbed Vanyushka, put him on the wings and carried him away.

Masha returned, lo and behold - there is no brother!

She gasped, rushed there, here - Vanyushka is nowhere to be seen. She clicked, clicked - my brother did not respond. Masha began to cry, but tears cannot help grief. It is her own fault, she herself must find a brother.

Masha ran out into the open field, looked around. He sees - geese-swans darted in the distance and disappeared behind a dark forest.

Masha guessed that it was the swan geese who carried away her brother, rushed to catch up

She ran, ran, saw - there was a stove in the field. Masha to her:

Stove, stove, tell me, where did the swan-geese fly?

Throw a woodman at me, - says the stove, - then I'll tell you!
Masha quickly chopped the firewood and threw it into the stove.

The stove said which way to run. Masha ran on. He sees - there is an apple tree, all hung with ruddy apples, the branches bent down to the ground. Masha to her:

Apple tree, apple tree, tell me where the swan-geese flew to?

Shake my apples, otherwise all the branches bent to stand hard!

Masha shook the apples, the apple tree lifted the branches, straightened the leaves, showed Masha the way.

- Milk river - jelly banks, where did the swan-geese fly?

A stone fell into me, - the river replies, - will stir the milk to flow further.
Move it aside - then I'll tell you where the swan-geese flew.

Masha broke off a large branch and moved the stone. The river rumbled, told Mate where to run, where to look for geese-swans.

Masha ran, ran and ran to the dense forest. She became at the edge and does not know where to go now, what to do. Looks - a hedgehog is sitting under a hemp.

Hedgehog, hedgehog, - Masha asks, - have you seen where the geese-swans go to
flew?

The hedgehog says:

Where I swing, there you go!

He curled up into a ball and rolled between the trees, between the birches. Rolled, rolled and rolled to the hut on chicken legs. Masha looks - Baba Yaga is sitting in that hut, spinning yarn. And Vanyushka is playing with golden apples near the porch.

Masha crept quietly to the hut, grabbed her brother and ran home.

A little later Baba Yaga looked out the window: there is no boy! She called the swan-geese:

Hurry, geese-swans, fly in pursuit!
Geese-swans soared, screamed, flew.

And Masha is running, carrying her brother, she can't feel her legs under her. I looked back - I saw geese-swans ... What to do?

She ran to the milk river - the jelly banks. And the swan geese scream, flap their wings, catch up with her ...

River, river, - Masha asks, - hide us!

The river planted her with her brother under a steep bank, and hid her from the swan geese.

The swan-geese did not see Masha, they flew past. Masha came out from under the steep bank, thanked the river and ran again.

And the swan-geese saw her - they returned, flying towards her. Masha ran up to the apple tree:

Apple tree, apple tree, hide me!

The apple tree covered it with branches, covered it with leaves. The swan-geese circled, circled, did not find Masha and Vanyushka and flew past. Masha came out from under the apple tree, thanked her, and again began to run.

She was running, carrying her brother, she was not far from home ... But unfortunately the geese-swans saw her again and well after her! They giggle, swoop in, wave their wings over their heads, they will tear Vanyushka out of his hands anyway ... It's good that the stove is nearby. Masha to her:

Stove, stove, hide me!

The stove hid it and closed it with a damper.

Geese-swans flew up to the stove and let's open the damper, but it wasn’t there. They thrust into the chimney, but did not hit the stove, only smeared the wings with soot. They circled, circled, shouted, shouted, and so with nothing they returned to Baba Yaga ...

And Masha and her brother got out of the stove and set off home in full spirit. I ran home, washed my brother, combed his hair, put him on a bench, and sat down next to him.

Here soon my father and mother returned from the city, they brought gifts.

If the children are playing the rhythm correctly, tell them that they are now fluent in goose language.

6. Summing up the results of the lesson. Appreciate the work of the children positively.

"Geese-swans" came to modern society from ancient times. There is no definite author of this creation, therefore the tale is truly considered a folk tale. It tells about a simple peasant family who, like everyone else, toiled on their land and worked tirelessly. The daughter was the eldest in the family, and the son was still quite young, so the sister constantly looked after her brother.

The main essence of the tale

Everyone remembers that due to her inexperience and negligence, the girl lost her brother, who was carried away by the swan geese. She went through the woods after the boy, but it was not immediately possible for her to find what she was looking for. Due to her unwillingness to sacrifice her principles, the girl wandered through the forest for a long time and could not get the necessary information. Only when the road led her to Baba Yaga did her sister find her brother, but she just did not understand what awaited her. The moment the girl did a good service to the mouse and fed her, she was able to find out the truth and run away with her brother. On the way back, they met exactly those characters who were refused for the first time. It was then that the girl agreed to all the conditions in order to save herself and her brother.

Few could learn the whole essence of this tale. And the river, and the apple tree, and the stove are quite real people who meet every day in everyday life. They are ready to help and are always kind to others. You should not give up initially from what seems unacceptable, contradictory to your own principles. As the saying goes: "A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it." It must be remembered that absolutely all fairy tales tell about life, only in a fabulous form in order to convey the necessary idea to the younger generation.

Heroes

There are heroes in a fairy tale, the character of which can be seen by certain actions. Mother and father are quite serious people who love and take care of their children. They go to work every day and give wise instructions to their children.

My daughter, at the time of the beginning of the tale, is a very unassembled and frivolous girl. She forgets about her brother, goes for a walk and absolutely does not think about the consequences. Only at the moment when the girl learns about the disappearance of her brother does her character change, but not immediately. On the way to Baba Yaga, she is capricious and does not want to put up with the fact that her certain principles will be violated. Only on the way back does she understand that for the sake of loved ones she needs to sacrifice something of her own.

One of the folklore and later literary genres is called a fairy tale. This epic work is usually of a prosaic nature, having a heroic, everyday or magical theme. The main features of this genre are the lack of historicity and the undisguised, conspicuous fictionality of the plot.

"Geese-Swans" - a fairy tale, a summary of which we will consider below, refers to the folk. That is, it does not have an author as such, it was composed by the Russian people.

The difference between folk and literary tales

Folklore, or folk, fairy tale appeared earlier than the literary one and was passed on for a long time from mouth to mouth. Hence, there are many discrepancies in plots and variations of such stories. So, we will present here the most common summary of the tale "Geese-Swans". However, this does not mean that in other areas and regions of our country this work has exactly the same characters. The plot as a whole will be the same, but it may differ in nuances.

The literary tale was originally invented by the author. Its plot cannot be changed under any circumstances. In addition, initially such a work appeared on paper, and not in oral speech.

Russian folk tale "Geese-Swans": a summary. Tie

A long time ago, a husband and wife lived. They had two children: the eldest daughter Mashenka and the youngest son Vanya.

Once the parents went to the city and told Masha to look after her brother and not leave the yard. And they promised goodies for good behavior.

But as soon as the parents left, Masha put Vanya under the window of the house on the grass, and she herself ran for a walk outside with her friends.

But here, out of nowhere, the geese-swans appeared, the birds picked up the boy and dragged him towards the forest.

Masha has returned, looks - Vanya is nowhere to be found. The girl rushed to look for her brother, but he was nowhere to be seen. She called Vanya, but he did not answer. Masha sat down and began to cry, but tears cannot help grief, and she decided to go in search of her brother.

The girl ran from the yard, looked around. And suddenly I saw the geese-swans flew in the distance, and then disappeared into the dark forest. Masha realized who had kidnapped her brother, and rushed in pursuit.

The girl ran out into the clearing and saw the stove. I asked that to show the way. The stove replied that she would tell where the swans flew if Masha threw firewood into it. The girl complied with the request, the stove said where the kidnappers flew to. And our heroine ran further.

Baba Yaga

Masha continues to find out where the swan geese flew. A fairy tale (a summary is presented in this article) tells how a girl meets an apple tree, the branches of which are dotted with ruddy fruits. Masha asks her where the swan-geese have gone. The apple tree asked to shake the apples off her, and then she will tell you where the birds flew. The girl complied with the request and found out where the kidnappers went.

Mashenka runs further and sees a milk river with jelly banks. Asks the girl by the river where the swan geese flew. And she answered: "Move the stone that prevents me from flowing, then I will say." Masha moved the stone and indicated the river where the birds were heading.

The girl ran to a dense forest. And then the hedgehog prompted her the way. Curled up into a ball and rolled to the hut on chicken legs. Baba Yaga sits in that hut, and Vanya plays with golden apples by the porch. Masha crept up, grabbed Vanya and rushed to run.

Baba Yaga noticed that the boy was missing, and sent the swan geese in pursuit.

The denouement of the work

"Geese-Swans", the tale, a summary of which we present here, is coming to an end. Masha runs with her brother and sees that the birds are overtaking them. Then she rushed to the river and asked that to shelter them. Their river hid them, and the pursuers flew past, did not notice anything.

And again the children are running, not far from the house is left. But then the birds again noticed the fugitives. They strive to snatch the brother out of his hands. But then Masha noticed the stove, in which she took refuge with Vanyusha. The swan geese could not get to the children and returned back to Baba Yaga.

Brother and sister got out of the stove and ran home. Here Masha washed and combed Vanya, put him on a bench, and sat down next to him. Soon the parents returned and brought the children some presents. The daughter did not tell them anything. So the geese-swans were left with nothing.

The tale (the summary confirms this) refers to the so-called magic. Such works are characterized by the presence of a magical villain (Baba Yaga in our case) and magical assistants (stove, apple tree, river, hedgehog).
