One man had three sons. The youngest of them was called Fool. The fool was despised, ridiculed and offended at every opportunity.

One day the eldest son went to the forest for firewood. His mother gave him a delicious rich cake and a bottle of wine for the journey, so that he would not suffer from hunger and thirst.

In the forest he met an old, gray-haired man who greeted him and said:

Give me a piece of your cake and leave me a sip of wine! I'm so hungry and so thirsty!

But the smart son replied:

If I give you my cake and my wine, there will be nothing left for me. Get back where you came from!

But as soon as he began to cut the tree, the ax fell off and crashed into his hand. And he had to go home to bandage her.

And the gray-haired man arranged it.

Then the second son went into the forest. And to him, as well as to the eldest, his mother gave a rich cake and a bottle of wine. He also met an old, gray-haired man and asked for a piece of cake and a sip of wine. But the second son also said judiciously:

What I give to you, I will not get. Get back where you came from!

Then the Fool said:

Father, let me go to the forest to chop wood!

The father replied:

Your brothers got into trouble there - how can you cope!

But the Fool molested his father until he said:

Okay, go ahead. Trouble will teach you the mind-reason.

His mother gave him bread baked in ashes and a bottle of sour beer.

When the Fool came to the forest, he also met an old, gray-haired little man, greeted him and said:

Give me a piece of your cake and a sip from your bottle! I'm so hungry and so thirsty!

The fool replied:

I have nothing but bread and sour beer, but if that's to your taste, we'll sit down and eat.

They sat down to eat. And when the Fool took out his bread, it turned out to be a wonderful rich cake, and the sour beer turned into good wine. They ate and drank.

You have a good heart and willingly share everything you have. For this, I want to give you happiness. There is an old tree. If you cut it down, you will find something between its roots, - said the little man and disappeared.

The fool went to the tree and cut it down. The tree fell and he saw a goose between its roots. The goose feathers were pure gold.

He took the goose and went with him to the tavern, where he was going to spend the night.

And the innkeeper had three daughters. They saw a goose, and they really wanted to know what kind of wonderful bird it was, and get at least one of its golden feathers.

The eldest thought: “I’ll find some opportunity to pull out one of his feathers!” And when the Fool went somewhere, she grabbed the goose by the wing. But her fingers immediately stuck to the goose.

Soon the second daughter came, who also thought about how to get a golden pen.

But as soon as she touched her sister, she immediately clung to her. Finally, a third appeared with the same intention.

Then the first two shouted:

Don't come, don't come!

But the girl did not understand why she should not come, and thought: "If they can, why can't I?"

And she ran to her sisters. But as soon as she touched them, she stuck to them. So they had to sit next to the goose all night.

And in the morning, the Fool took the goose under his arm and went on his way, not paying any attention to the three girls stuck to the goose. And they had to run after Fool wherever his feet carried him.

In the field they met a pastor. Seeing this procession, he said:

Be ashamed, shameless ones! Well, why are you chasing the guy across the field? Do you really think that's good?

Saying this, he grabbed the younger by the hand and wanted to stop her. But as soon as he touched her, he also stuck, and he had to run with them.

Soon they were met by a church watchman. When he saw that the pastor was rushing on the heels of the three girls, he was very surprised.

Oh, mister pastor, - he shouted, - where are you in such a hurry?

The watchman ran after the pastor, grabbed him by the sleeve and also stuck to it.

When they rode like this one after another, the pastor saw two peasants returning from the field. He began to ask them to release him.

But as soon as the peasants touched the pastor, they also stuck. Now seven of them were running after Fool and the goose.

And so they came to the city where the king lived. The king had a daughter, so serious that no one could make her laugh. Therefore, the king issued a decree: whoever manages to make his daughter laugh, he will marry her.

The fool found out about this and went with his goose and his retinue straight to the princess.

The princess, seeing seven. people jumping after Fool began to laugh loudly.

Then the Fool demanded that the princess be married to him.

But the king did not like such a son-in-law. He began to come up with all sorts of excuses and demanded that the Fool first find him a man who could drink a whole cellar of wine.

The fool remembered the gray-haired man and thought that he would be able to help him.

He went into the forest and at the very place where he cut down the tree, he saw a man with a very sad face.

The fool asked him what he was sad about. The man replied:

I have a terrible thirst, and I can not quench it in any way. I can't stand cold water, and although I've already drunk a barrel of wine, what does a drop of water on a hot stone mean?

I can help you,” said the Fool. - Come with me, and I will drink you to capacity.

He took him to the royal cellar. The man, clinging to the huge barrels, began to drink, and before the day was over, all the wine was drunk.

Then the Fool again demanded that they give him the princess as his wife.

But the king was angry that the worthless boy, whom everyone calls Fool, wants to marry his daughter. He set one more condition: now the Fool had to find such a person who could eat a whole mountain of bread.

The fool, without thinking twice, immediately went to the forest. In the same place sat sad

a man whose stomach was tightly tied with a belt. The man said sadly: - I ate a full oven of pies, but how can this satisfy my hunger in any way? My stomach is empty, and all I can do is tighten my stomach with a belt so as not to die of hunger.

The fool rejoiced and said:

Get up and come with me. I will feed you to your heart's content.

He brought him to the king. The king ordered to bring flour from all over the kingdom and bake a huge mountain out of it.

The man approached this mountain and began to eat it. And the mountain disappeared one day.

Then the Fool demanded the princess for his wife for the third time.

But the king came up with another trick: he ordered Fool to build a ship that would go on water and on land.

If you sail on such a ship, you will immediately receive my daughter as a wife, ”he said.

The fool went straight into the forest.

They left a big mark on history. Their merit lies in the fact that they not only contributed to the development of linguistics, but also collected German folklore. This was the reason for the creation of a collection of fairy tales called "Tales of the Brothers Grimm".

Their fairy tales became popular, both children and adults began to read them. Many of them have been filmed.

One of the many is called "Sweet Porridge". This is a work about kindness and justice, about honesty and sincerity.

Once upon a time, there lived a kind and modest girl. She lived with her mother. They were so poor that they didn't have anything to eat. With this begins a summary of "Sweet Porridge". Once the girl was walking in the woods and met an old woman there. The old woman gave her a pot that could cook porridge by itself, you just had to tell him: "Pot, cook!". In order for the pot to stop cooking porridge, it was necessary to say to him: "Pot, stop it!". The girl brought the pot home and they forgot what hunger is. One day the girl was not at home. Her mother wanted to eat and told the pot to cook porridge. When it was necessary for him to stop cooking porridge, my mother did not know how to stop him, she forgot the necessary words. The pot boiled and boiled, and the porridge filled the whole house, then the whole street and the whole village. Finally the girl arrived. Only she was able to stop the pot, because she remembered the cherished words.

What does a fairy tale teach?

In a word, great work. The fairy tale "Sweet porridge" is useful for both children and adults. She teaches the most important thing - kindness. The story teaches us to always be kind. The little girl was modest and kind, for which she was rewarded: the old woman gave her a saving pot. After all, if the girl had not been distinguished by kindness and modesty, she would hardly have deserved such a gift. The tale shows: one must always do good. The old woman had such an opportunity - to help others, which she did. She saved a little girl and her mother from starvation.
The fairy tale "Sweet Porridge" shows that we need to appreciate what we have. The girl's mother happily used the pot, which itself cooked porridge, but she forgot that everything has its own measure, she forgot the cherished words and could not stop the pot.
Mother and her daughter are opposed in this tale. That is, you need to be like a girl, not like her mother.

Be clean like children

In our time, society lacks such essential values ​​as kindness and cleanliness. The fairy tale "Sweet porridge" teaches everyone exactly this. Of course, everyone wants a comfortable life. Such as sweet porridge. But in order to get something, you have to give something. Hypocrisy, lies, malice - this is what takes root in modern society. And the fairy tale "Sweet Porridge" teaches that this should disappear. You need to be sincere and pure, like a child who has not yet known all the problems of this world.

We must not forget that only good will save the world. Mutual assistance, mutual support must overcome greed and become the first step in modern life values. We want such a life as sweet porridge - we will be pure in soul, like children.

There lived a little girl with her mother; they were so poor that sometimes they didn't even have anything to eat. One day the girl went to the forest and on the way she met an old woman who gave her a clay pot.

“Just look, this is not an ordinary pot,” she said to the girl. - He only has to say: “Pot, cook!” - and at the same moment a delicious, sweet porridge will be brewed in it and will be boiled until they say to the pot: “Thank you, pot, that's enough!”

The girl was very happy, thanked the old woman and immediately ran to her mother to show the gift.

From that time on, they no longer starved, as they always had delicious, sweet porridge.

Once the girl happened to go away somewhere; she did not return for a long time, and her mother, hungry, ordered the pot to cook porridge.

When the porridge boiled, she ate her fill, and then she wanted to stop the pot, but she forgot how to do it. She shouted to the pot: “Enough, enough, stop it!”, But she forgot to say thank you. Therefore, the porridge continued to cook, to cook without end. Now she swam over the edge, filled with herself first the whole kitchen, then the whole house, flowed out and flooded all the neighboring houses, the whole street ...

The neighbors were alarmed, they ran out of their houses, but no one knew how to stop the boiling pot, how to help the trouble. They scooped up porridge with ladles, buckets, but it kept coming and coming...

Finally, a girl appeared on the street.

- Thank you, potty, that's enough! she screamed. And at the same moment the pot stopped cooking.

Then everyone brought spoons and began to eat porridge.

Think how much porridge they had to eat before they could enter their homes!
