Russian fairy tale
Leo Tolstoy's fairy tale "The Hedgehog and the Hare"
Children, to whom the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy dedicated many instructive stories, fables and short fairy tales, are always interested in reading about the world around them, about familiar animals. Every child knows from famous Russian folk tales and cartoons about the hare and the prickly hedgehog. Namely, it is about them that the story is told in the work “The Hedgehog and the Hare”.
What is the fairy tale about?
A hedgehog and a hare met. The oblique bully decided to hurt the harmless hedgehog with his remark. For some reason, it seemed to him that the prickly interlocutor had crooked legs, which is why they were constantly getting tangled. Of course, this angered the hedgehog, but he was cunning and decided to teach the hare a lesson. The hedgehog challenged the enemy to a competition to see who could catch up with whom. The hedgehog just asked him to wait while he went home.
And the hedgehog asked his wife for help, telling her about his argument with the hare. I decided that I could win with my flexible mind. We decided to run to a field that had just been plowed. The hedgehog planted his wife in the furrow at one end, and began to wait for the hare at the other end. When the hare has to reach the end of the furrow, the hedgehog's wife will have to come out and say that she has been waiting for the hare here for a long time. After the start, the hedgehog pretended to run and came back. Only the hare reached the finish line, and the hedgehog’s wife came forward and spoke as the hedgehog had taught her. The hare didn’t believe it, asked to run again, and when he ran to the beginning of the furrow, he saw a hedgehog there. Again the hare ran along the furrow. So I ran while I had the strength. After that, the hare swore that he would never argue with anyone again.
Author's instructions to children
What is the main thing in any dispute and competition? It is important to use your ingenuity and intelligence. All readers understood perfectly well from the very beginning of the tale that the hedgehog will never outrun the nimble runner and jumper of the hare. But what interesting content Tolstoy came up with! The text of the fairy tale is dynamic, it is so alive, as if you were imagining how a competing hedgehog and a hare were running. Let us remember what the hedgehog said about the hopeless outcome of the dispute, but the hedgehog did not despair, he came up with a reliable way to outwit the hare. And the cunning, side-eyed, eared hare forever abandoned the desire to argue with anyone. And the most important thing is that the hare will now not offend anyone with insults. So what if a hedgehog has crooked legs - why laugh at it? Well-mannered animals and people do not behave this way. The author talks about such moments in his book of fairy tales.
Folk wisdom
As always, Lev Nikolaevich wrote based on proverbs, which he did not mention, since there are too many of them. Children will find them themselves. Just a few of them can be cited as examples. Here they are: “Resourcefulness and intelligence are friends” and “Where you can’t take it by force, you need to grab it.”

Hare and hedgehog
This tale, guys, looks like a fable, but still it is true, my grandfather, from whom I heard it, used to say every time he told it with feeling and sense:
“There is truth in it, son; otherwise why would they start telling it?”
And this is how it happened.
It happened one Sunday morning, at harvest time, just when the buckwheat was blooming. The sun rose bright in the sky, the morning wind blew through the mown stubble, the larks sang over the fields, the bees hummed in the buckwheat; people went to church in festive clothes, and every creature on earth rejoiced, including the hedgehog.
And the hedgehog stood at his door with his arms folded, breathed the morning air and hummed to himself a cheerful song - neither good nor bad, the kind hedgehogs usually sing on a warm Sunday morning. And when he was quietly humming this song to himself, it occurred to him that he could, while his wife was bathing and dressing the children, take a short walk across the field and watch the rutabaga grow. And rutabaga grew very close to his house, and he always ate it with his family, and that’s why he looked at it as if it were his own. No sooner said than done. The hedgehog locked the door behind him and headed out into the field. Having gone not far from the house, he wanted to make his way through the thorns that grew near the field, almost at the place where rutabaga grew, and suddenly he noticed a hare who had gone out for the same thing - to look at his cabbage. The hedgehog saw the hare and wished him good morning. And the hare was a gentleman who seemed to be noble and very arrogant. He did not answer the hedgehog’s greeting and said to him, making a contemptuous grimace:
“Why are you running around the field here so early?”
“I’m walking,” says the hedgehog.
- Are you out for a walk? - the hare laughed. “I think you could use your legs for something more useful.”
This answer greatly annoyed the hedgehog: he could have endured anything, but he did not allow anything to be said about his legs - they were too crooked.
“Apparently you imagine,” said the hedgehog to the hare, “that you can control it better with your legs?”
“I think,” answered the hare.
“We still need to check this,” said the hedgehog. “I’m ready to bet that if you and I start running, I’ll come running first.”
- Yes, this is downright funny - you, with your crooked legs? - said the hare. - Well, if you have such a big desire, I probably agree. What are we going to argue about?
“For one gold louis d’or and a bottle of vodka,” says the hedgehog.
- It's coming! - answered the hare. - Well, then let's start now.
“No, why should we be in such a hurry, I don’t agree,” says the hedgehog, “after all, I haven’t eaten or drunk anything yet.” First I’ll go home and have some breakfast, and in half an hour I’ll return to the same place.
The hare agreed, and the hedgehog headed home. On the way, the hedgehog thought to himself: “The hare relies on his long legs, but I’ll outwit him. Although he is a noble gentleman, but stupid, he will surely lose.”
The hedgehog came home and said to his wife:
“Wife, quickly get dressed, you’ll have to go to the field with me.”
- What happened? she asks.
“Well, the hare and I bet on one gold louis d’or and a bottle of vodka: I want to run head to head with him, and you should be there.”
- Oh, my God! - his wife began to shout at him. - Are you really crazy? Are you out of your mind? How can you run headlong with a hare?
“Yes, wife, you’d better shut up,” the hedgehog tells her, “this is my business.” Don't interfere in men's affairs. Go get dressed and come with me.
What was she supposed to do here? Like it or not, she had to follow her husband.
The two of them walk along the road to the field, and the hedgehog says to his wife:
“Now listen carefully to what I tell you.” You see, across that big field over there we will run with the hare. The hare will run along one furrow, and I will run along the other, and we will start running from the mountain. And your job is only to stand here, below, on the furrow. When the hare runs along his furrow, you shout towards him: “And I’m already here!”
With that they got to the field. The hedgehog showed his wife the place where she should stand, and he himself went higher. When he arrived, the hare was already there.
- Let's start, shall we? - says the hare.
“Okay,” the hedgehog answers, “let’s start.”
And everyone stood in his own furrow. The hare began to count: “Well, one, two, three,” and rushed like a whirlwind down the field. And the hedgehog ran about three steps, then climbed into the furrow and sat down there calmly.
The hare ran to the end of the field, and the hedgehog shouted towards him:
- And I’m already here!
The hare stopped and was quite surprised: he thought that it was, of course, the hedgehog himself who was screaming - and it is known that the hedgehog looks exactly the same as the hedgehog. But the hare thought: “Something is wrong here” and shouted:
- Let's run back again!
And he rushed like a whirlwind, with his ears flattened, along the furrow, and the hedgehog remained calmly in her place. The hare ran to the end of the field, and the hedgehog shouted towards him:
- And I’m already here!
The hare got angry and shouted:
- Let's run back again!
“As you wish,” answered the hedgehog, “I don’t care, as much as you like.”
So the hare ran seventy-three more times, and the hedgehog still came first. Every time the hare ran to the edge of the field, the hedgehog or hedgehog woman said:
- And I’m already here!
But the seventy-fourth time the hare did not reach the end: he fell on his front legs, his throat began to bleed, and he could not move further.
The hedgehog took the gold louis d'or and a bottle of vodka he had won, called his wife out of the furrow, and they went home together, both quite satisfied with each other. If they have not died, then they are still alive.
That's how it happened, that a simple field hedgehog overtook the hare, and from that time on, not a single hare dared to run head-to-head with the hedgehog anymore.
And the lesson from this fairy tale is this: firstly, no one, no matter how noble he considers himself to be, should allow himself to mock an ordinary person - even a hedgehog. Secondly, the following advice is given: if anyone decides to get married, then let him take a wife from the same circle as himself, and let her be like himself. So, let’s say, if you are a hedgehog, then take a hedgehog as your wife, and so on.
The Tale of the Hedgehog, the Wolf and the Hare
Kesha the hedgehog lived in the forest.
He loved his family. He sometimes helped his wife make stock for the winter: He brought mushrooms in a basket, he carried beads from mountain ash... He replenished the large supply, so that he could be well-fed in the winter.
Kesha went into the forest again to pick mushrooms... The forest path winds through, Like a painted picture...
Flowers grow nearby, Red berries, mushrooms... Kesha happily picks them, And throws them into a basket!
Just looking, in the clearing, - The redhead is coming from the party... Well, of course - Fox, Something, very cheerful...
The Wolf is in a hurry after the Fox, And he’s shouting at her for something... The Fox looked back - She suddenly grinned! —
The wolf held the hare in his hand... It was as if he was walking lightly. The Bunny cried and screamed, Only the Wolf did not let go.
Hedgehog Kesha saw: “Yes!”... He said alarmedly. “We need to help out the Hare, distract the Wolf, somehow!”
The Red Fox is cunning - She approached the Wolf herself, and began to say to the Wolf:
“Wolf, you have to give me a hare right now, Otherwise, not even an hour will break out of my hands with a scythe, And run to his home.
Better give it, I’ll hold it... And I’ll put it in the knapsack!”
The wolf began to object to her, and hinted at cunning: -
“I know you, Fox, and I understand your hint, Only, the Bunny will be mine! I’m taking him home!”
Squirrel was running in the forest... And while she was collecting mushrooms, she tripped over the Hedgehog and stretched out near her legs.-
“Why are you walking here, Hedgehog? Do you also pick mushrooms? Let me help you - I’ll show you a lot of mushrooms...
I know mushroom places, I quickly pick mushrooms... I can see everything from the trees: Here’s a mushroom... And here’s another!” —
“Hush”... The hedgehog suddenly said: “I met a wolf here, Do you see how he’s next to the Fox? And, in his hand there is a scythe.
That is, Bunny. Sorry for the Bunny! We should save our little brother, but the Fox is cunning... She might take it away herself.-
“Listen, Belka!” — The hedgehog said: “I already came up with it myself!” Do you see? - The mushroom is growing big, It’s already old... and raw!
You, pick it quickly, And quickly on the tree... Throw the Wolf right into the mouth, Only the main thing is to hit it!
The squirrel is spinning like a top... It picks a mushroom, and like an arrow - It quickly flew up... The mushroom flies skillfully at the Wolf!
A large mushroom hit my face. The wolf doesn't see anything! All eyes are clogged, nose... The Wolf is seriously concerned!
Yell at Lisa, swear... And, of course, call her names! Out of anger, the fists went in different directions...
The Wolf is waving, and he doesn’t even know it, But the Bunny is running away... The Hedgehog is waving after him, It’s no secret that he’s happy!
Well, Squirrel again - Managed to pick up a mushroom! And again, the same old, Only there is a lot of experience...
He throws the mushroom at the Fox again, ruining all the beauty! She screamed in fright... Suddenly she caught the wolf by the tail!
The wolf immediately howled in pain... He ran as fast as he could! And Lisa - she’s so offended, She can’t see the culprit!
Who threw what at her? No one told her. And they run skipping... They forgot about the Bunny!
They can’t see the road, But they have to run... Suddenly there’s a cliff... the river below is wide and deep...
The wolf is flying, and with him is the Fox... There is some water nearby, Washing everything off your face at once! The Fox sees everything around.-
The wolf screams, swallows water... And, as before, he repeats: “Wait... wait... Oblique, We’ll sort it out with you!”

(They took food with them and hit the road. The weather was wonderful. The gentle sun was shining. The animals found a beautiful clearing and stopped there. The Bunny and the Little Bear played, had fun, and tumbled on the soft green grass.)
Retelling from German by A. Vvedensky, edited by S. Marshak
You probably won't believe this tale.
However, when telling it, my grandfather always said: “Not everything in this fairy tale is fiction.” There is truth in it. Why would people start telling it?
This fairy tale began like this.
One day, on a clear sunny day, a hedgehog stood at the door of his house, with his hands folded on his stomach, and hummed a song.
He sang his song and sang and suddenly decided: “I’ll go to the field and look at my rutabaga. While,” he thinks, “my hedgehog wife washes and dresses the children, I will have time to visit the field and return home.”
The hedgehog went and met along the road a hare, who was also going into the field to look at his cabbage.
The hedgehog saw the hare, bowed to him and said friendly:
- Hello, dear hare. How are you?
And the hare was very important and proud. He just nodded his head and said roughly:
- Why are you, hedgehog, scouring the field so early?
“I went out for a walk,” says the hedgehog.
“A walk?” asked the hare mockingly. “But in my opinion, you can’t get far on such short legs.”
The hedgehog was offended by these words. He didn’t like it when people talked about his legs, which were indeed short and crooked.
“Don’t you think,” he asked the hare, “that your hare legs run faster and better?”
“Of course,” says the hare.
“Would you like to run a race with me?” asks the hedgehog.
“Racing with you?” says the hare.
- Don't make me laugh, please. Are you really going to overtake me on your crooked legs?
“But you’ll see,” the hedgehog answers. “You’ll see that I’ll overtake.”
“Well, let’s run,” says the hare.
“Wait,” says the hedgehog. “First I’ll go home, have breakfast, and in half an hour I’ll return to this place.” Then we'll run.
“Okay,” said the hare.
The hedgehog went home.
He walks and thinks: “The hare, of course, runs faster than me. But he is stupid and I am smart. I'll outsmart him."
The hedgehog came home and said to his wife:
“Wife, get ready quickly, you’ll have to go to the field with me.” The hare and I argued about who runs faster - me or him. I have to outrun the hare, and you will help me in this matter.
-Are you crazy? - the hedgehog was surprised.
- How can you compete with the hare? He will immediately overtake you.
“It’s none of your business, wife,” said the hedgehog. “Get ready and let’s go.” I know what I do.
The hedgehog went with the hedgehog to the field. On the way, the hedgehog says to his wife:
- We will run with the hare across this long field. The hare will run along one furrow, and I will run along the other. And you, wife, stand at the end of the field near my furrow. As soon as the hare runs up to you, you shout: “I’m already here!” Understood?
So they did. The hedgehog took the hedgehog to the end of his furrow, and he himself returned to the place where he left the hare.
“Well,” says the hare, “shall we run?”
“Let’s run,” says the hedgehog.
They each stood at the beginning of their own furrow.
- One two Three! - shouted the hare. And they both ran as fast as they could.
The hedgehog ran three or four steps, and then quietly returned to his place and sat down. Sits and rests. And the hare keeps running and running. He reached the end of his furrow, and then the hedgehog shouted to him:
I'm already here!
And I must say that the hedgehog and the hedgehog are very similar to each other. The hare was surprised that the hedgehog had overtaken him.
“Now let’s run back,” he says to the hedgehog. “One, two, three!”
And the hare ran back faster than before. And the hedgehog remained sitting in her place.
The hare reached the beginning of the furrow, and the hedgehog shouted to him:
- I'm already here!
The hare was even more surprised.
“Let’s run again,” he says to the hedgehog.
“Okay,” the hedgehog answers. “If you want, we’ll run again.”
We ran again and again.
So the hare ran back and forth seventy-three times. And the hedgehog kept overtaking him.
The hare will run to the beginning of the furrow, and the hedgehog will shout to him: “I’m already here!”»
The hare will run back to the end of the furrow, and the hedgehog shouts to him: “I’m already here!”
On the seventy-fourth time the hare ran to the middle of the field and fell to the ground.
“I’m tired,” he says, “I can’t run anymore.”
“You see now,” the hedgehog tells him, “who has the faster legs?”
The hare did not answer anything and left the field - he could barely trudge from fatigue. And the hedgehog and his wife called their children and went for a walk with them.

Online reading of the book Fairy Tales 187. The Hare and the Hedgehog
This tale, guys, looks like a fable, but still it is true, my grandfather, from whom I heard it, used to say every time he told it with feeling and sense:
“There is truth in it, son; otherwise why would they start telling it?”
And this is how it happened.
It happened one Sunday morning, at harvest time, just when the buckwheat was blooming. The sun rose bright in the sky, the morning wind blew through the mown stubble, the larks sang over the fields, the bees hummed on the buckwheat; people went to church in festive clothes, and every creature on earth rejoiced, including the hedgehog.
And the hedgehog stood at his door with his arms folded, breathed the morning air and hummed a cheerful song to himself - not good and not bad, the kind hedgehogs usually sing on a warm Sunday morning. And when he was quietly humming this song to himself, it occurred to him that he could, while his wife was bathing and dressing the children, take a short walk across the field and watch how the rutabaga grew. And rutabaga grew very close to his house, and he always ate it with his family, and that’s why he looked at it as if it were his own. No sooner said than done. The hedgehog locked the door behind him and headed out into the field. Having gone not far from the house, he wanted to make his way through the thorns that grew near the field, almost at the place where rutabaga grew, and suddenly he noticed a hare who had gone out for the same thing - to look at his cabbage. The hedgehog saw the hare and wished him good morning. And the hare was a gentleman who seemed to be noble and very arrogant. He did not answer the hedgehog’s greeting and said to him, making a contemptuous grimace:
“Why are you running around the field here so early?”
“I’m walking,” says the hedgehog.
- Are you out for a walk? - the hare laughed. “I think you could use your legs for something more useful.”
This answer greatly annoyed the hedgehog: he could have endured anything, but he did not allow anything to be said about his legs - they were too crooked.
“Apparently you imagine,” said the hedgehog to the hare, “that you can control it better with your legs?”
“I think,” answered the hare.
“We still need to check this,” said the hedgehog. “I’m ready to bet that if you and I start running, I’ll come running first.”
- Yes, this is downright funny - you, with your crooked legs? - said the hare. - Well, if you have such a big desire, I probably agree. What are we going to argue about?
“For one gold louis d’or and a bottle of vodka,” says the hedgehog.
- It's coming! - answered the hare. - Well, then let's start now.
“No, why should we be in such a hurry, I don’t agree,” says the hedgehog, “after all, I haven’t eaten or drunk anything yet.” First I’ll go home and have some breakfast, and in half an hour I’ll return to the same place.
The hare agreed, and the hedgehog headed home. On the way, the hedgehog thought to himself: “The hare relies on his long legs, but I will outwit him. Although he is a noble gentleman, but stupid, he will surely lose.”
The hedgehog came home and said to his wife:
“Wife, quickly get dressed, you’ll have to go to the field with me.”
- What happened? she asks.
“Well, the hare and I bet on one gold louis d’or and a bottle of vodka: I want to run head to head with him, and you should be there.”
- Oh, my God! – his wife began to shout at him. - Are you really crazy? Are you out of your mind? How can you run headlong with a hare?
“Yes, wife, you’d better shut up,” the hedgehog tells her, “this is my business.” Don't interfere in men's affairs. Go get dressed and come with me.
What was she supposed to do here? Like it or not, she had to follow her husband.
The two of them walk along the road to the field, and the hedgehog says to his wife:
– Now listen carefully to what I tell you. You see, across that big field over there we will run with the hare. The hare will run along one furrow, and I will run along the other, and we will start running from the mountain. And your job is only to stand here, below, on the furrow. When the hare runs along his furrow, you shout towards him: “And I’m already here!”
With that they got to the field. The hedgehog showed his wife the place where she should stand, and he himself went higher. When he arrived, the hare was already there.
- Let's start, shall we? - says the hare.
“Okay,” the hedgehog answers, “let’s start.”
And everyone stood in his own furrow. The hare began to count: “Well, one, two, three,” and rushed like a whirlwind down the field. And the hedgehog ran about three steps, then climbed into the furrow and sat down there calmly.
The hare ran to the end of the field, and the hedgehog shouted towards him:
- And I’m already here!
The hare stopped and was quite surprised: he thought that it was, of course, the hedgehog himself who was screaming - and it is known that the hedgehog looks exactly the same as the hedgehog. But the hare thought: “Something is wrong here” and shouted:
- Let's run back again!
And he rushed like a whirlwind, with his ears flattened, along the furrow, and the hedgehog remained calmly in her place. The hare ran to the end of the field, and the hedgehog shouted towards him:
- And I’m already here!
The hare got angry and shouted:
- Let's run back again!
“As you wish,” answered the hedgehog, “I don’t care, as much as you like.”
So the hare ran seventy-three more times, and the hedgehog still came first. Every time the hare ran to the edge of the field, the hedgehog or hedgehog woman said:
- And I’m already here!
But on the seventy-fourth time the hare did not reach the end: he fell on his front legs, his throat began to bleed, and he could not move further.
The hedgehog took the gold louis d'or and a bottle of vodka he had won, called his wife out of the furrow, and they went home together, both quite satisfied with each other. If they have not died, then they are still alive.
This is how it turned out that a simple field hedgehog overtook the hare, and from that time on, not a single hare dared to run back and forth with the hedgehog.
And the lesson from this fairy tale is this: firstly, no one, no matter how noble he considers himself to be, should allow himself to mock an ordinary person - even a hedgehog. Secondly, the following advice is given: if someone decides to get married, then let him take a wife from the same circle as himself, and let her be similar to himself. So, let’s say, if you are a hedgehog, then take a hedgehog as your wife, and so on.
