The sun is visiting a Slovak fairy tale from Mogilev

Slovak fairy tale “Visiting the Sun” translated by S. Mogilevskaya

One day a large cloud covered the sky.
The sun didn't show for three days. The chickens are bored without sunlight. -Where did that sun go? - They say. “We need to return him to heaven as soon as possible.” -Where will you find him? - the hen cackled. - Do you know where it lives?

“We don’t know, but we’ll ask whoever we meet,” answered the chickens.

The hen collected them for the journey. She gave me a bag and a purse. There is a grain in the bag. There is a poppy seed in the purse.

The chickens have left. They walked and walked and saw: in the garden, behind a head of cabbage, a snail was sitting. She is big, horned, and has a hut on her back.

The chickens stopped and asked:

- Snail, snail, do you know where the sun lives?

- Don't know. There's a magpie sitting on the fence - maybe she knows.

But the magpie did not wait for the chickens to come to her. She flew up to them, chattered, and crackled:

- Chickens, where are you going, where? Where are you chickens going, where?

- Yes, the sun has disappeared. He was not in heaven for three days. Let's go look for him.

- And I will go with you! And I will go with you! And I will go with you!

- Do you know where the sun lives?

“I don’t know, but the hare maybe knows: he lives next door, across the border!” - the magpie chattered.

The hare saw that guests were coming to him, straightened his hat, wiped his mustache and opened the gate wider.

“Hare, hare,” the chickens squealed, the magpie chattered, “do you know where the sun lives?” We're looking for him.

“I don’t know, but my neighbor, the duck, probably knows: she lives near the stream, in the reeds.”

The hare led everyone to the stream. And there is a duck house near the stream. And the shuttle is tied nearby.

- Hey, neighbor, are you home or not? - shouted the hare.

- Home, home! - the duck quacked. “I still can’t dry out; there hasn’t been any sun for three days.”

- And we’re just going to look for the sun! - the chickens, the magpie and the hare shouted back to her. - Do you know where it lives?

“I don’t know, but behind the stream, under a hollow beech tree, a hedgehog lives - he knows.”

They crossed the stream in a canoe and went to look for the hedgehog. And the hedgehog sat under a beech tree and dozed.

“Hedgehog, hedgehog,” the chickens, magpie, hare and duck shouted in unison, “do you know where the sun lives?” He had not been in heaven for three days; had he fallen ill?

The hedgehog thought and said:

- How can you not know! I know where the sun lives. Behind the beech tree is a large mountain. There is a big cloud on the mountain. Above the cloud is the silver moon, and then the sun is just a stone's throw away!

The hedgehog took a stick, pulled his hat down and walked ahead of everyone to show the way.

So they came to the top of a high mountain. And there the cloud clung to the top and lay there.

A chicken, a magpie, a hare, a duck and a hedgehog climbed onto the cloud, sat tight, and the cloud flew straight to visit the month.

And the moon saw them and quickly lit up its silver horn.

“A month, a month,” the chickens, the magpie, the hare, the duck and the hedgehog shouted to him, “show us where the sun lives!” He was not in heaven for three days, we missed him.

The month brought them to the gates of the Solntsev house, and there it was dark, there was no light: it had fallen asleep, apparently the sun did not want to wake up.

Then the magpie chattered, the chickens squeaked, the duck quacked, the hare flapped his ears, and the hedgehog tapped with his stick:

- Bucket sun, look out, shine it on!

- Who is screaming under the window? - asked the sun. - Who is stopping me from sleeping?

- It’s us - chickens, a magpie, a hare, a duck, and a hedgehog. We came to wake you up: morning has come.

- Oh oh. - the sun moaned. - How can I look at the sky? For three days the clouds hid me, for three days they obscured me, and now I won’t even be able to shine.

The hare heard about this - he grabbed a bucket and started carrying water. A duck heard about this - let’s wash the sun with water. And magpie - wipe with a towel. Let's clean the hedgehog with its prickly bristles. And the chickens began to brush away specks from the sun.

The sun came out into the sky, clean, clear and golden. And everywhere it became light and warm.

The chicken also came out to bask in the sun. She came out, clucked, and called the chickens to her. And the chickens are right there. They run around the yard, look for grains, and bask in the sun. Whoever doesn’t believe it, let him look: are chickens running around the yard or not?

The teacher reads to the children an excerpt from the fairy tale “ Visiting the Sun ”

One day a large cloud covered the sky. The sun didn't show up for three days, and the chickens got bored without sunlight .

-Where did that sun go ? - they say - We need to return him to heaven as soon as possible.

-Where will you find him? - the hen cackled. - Do you know where it lives?

“We don’t know, but we’ll ask whoever we meet,” answered the chickens.

The hen collected them for the journey. She gave me a bag and a purse. In the bag there is a grain, in the purse there is a poppy seed. The chickens have left. They walked along and saw a snail sitting behind a head of cabbage in the garden. It itself is big, horned, and has a hut on its back. The chickens stopped and asked:

- Snail, snail, do you know where the sun lives ?

- Don't know. There's a magpie sitting on the fence - maybe she knows.

“And the magpie didn’t wait for the chickens to come to her.” She flew up to them, chattered and crackled: “Chickens, chickens, where are you going?” Where are you going? Where?

The chickens answer:

- Well, the sun has disappeared . He was not in heaven for three days. Let's go look for him.

He asks what size circles to make a sun and a chicken and duckling from. Alternately shows a large, medium and small circle. Children guess that they need to glue the sun , the torso from the medium ones, and the head from the small ones. I advise you to first glue the largest circle for the sun at the top of the sheet, and then glue the chicken and duckling. First, I show an unfinished applique - a composition of 5 circles, in the top center the largest circle is the sun , below on the sides are the silhouettes of a chicken and a duckling. Then I demonstrate the completed compositions and advise you to complete the details according to your ideas: for the chicken and duckling - beaks, eyes, wings, tails, for the sun rays and face .

Progress of the lesson

1. Organizational part.

Educator: Guys, listen to a very interesting riddle and tell me what it says:

It warms the whole world. And he doesn’t know fatigue. He smiles at the window, And everyone calls him...

Children: The sun.

Educator: That's right, it's the sun. It wakes up before everyone else, washes itself from the cloud and rises high into the sky to do “good deeds.” And what “good deeds” does the sun do? (Children's answers.)

Little Sun comes into the group.

Educator: Yes, guys, that’s right, the sun illuminates the earth, warms everyone, it has many “good deeds”: warm the earth, illuminate it with bright light, and wake everyone up with its gentle rays. But sometimes, guys, it happens that the sun doesn’t come out into the sky much and doesn’t give us its warmth. What time of year do you think this happens? (Children's answers.)

Educator: Guys, is it a sunny day now? Is it light in our group? Should we turn on the light? (Children's answers.)

Educator: Let’s make today sunny together! Do you agree?

Children: Yes!

Educator: And we will draw the sun not with pencils or brushes, but with the help of our palm. To make the sun look like a real one, let's remember what it is like. What does it look like? (Children's answers.)

Educator: What figure does the sun remind us of? (Children's answers.)

Educator: What color is the sun? (Children's answers.)

Educator: That's right, children. Now we'll play.

Finger gymnastics “Give us warmth, sunshine.”

We extended our palms and looked at the sun. (Children stretch their palms forward and rhythmically turn them up and down.) Give us, sunshine, warmth, so that there is strength. (They make a movement with their fingers, as if beckoning to them.)

Our little fingers don’t want to wait a minute, (They rhythmically bend and straighten their fingers.) Knock-knock, with hammers, (Bend over and alternately rhythmically knock on their knees with their fists.) Clap-clap, with their little paws, (They clap rhythmically on their knees.)

Jump - jump, like bunnies, galloping on the lawn. (They tap their knees with bent fingers.)

Visiting the sun

One day a large cloud covered the sky. The sun didn't show for three days.

The chickens are bored without sunlight. -Where did that sun go? - they say. “We need to return him to heaven as soon as possible.”

-Where will you find him? - the hen cackled. - Do you know where it lives? “We don’t know, but we’ll ask whoever we meet,” answered the chickens. The hen collected them for the journey. She gave me a bag and a purse. In the bag there is a grain, in the purse there is a poppy seed. The chickens have left.

They walked and walked and saw: in the garden, behind a head of cabbage, a snail was sitting. She is big, horned, and has a hut on her back. The chickens stopped and asked: “Snail, snail, do you know where the sun lives?” - Don't know. There's a magpie sitting on the fence - maybe she knows.

But the magpie did not wait for the chickens to come to her. She flew up to them, chattered, and began to chatter: “Chickens, where are you going, where?” Where are you chickens going, where? The chickens answer: “Yes, the sun has disappeared.” He was not in heaven for three days. Let's go look for him. - And I will go with you! And I will go with you! And I will go with you! - Do you know where the sun lives? “I don’t know, but the hare maybe knows: he lives next door across the border!” - the magpie chattered.

The hare saw that guests were coming to him, straightened his hat, wiped his mustache and opened the gate wider. “Hare, hare,” the chickens squealed, the magpie chattered, “do you know where the sun lives?” We're looking for him. “I don’t know, but my neighbor the duck probably knows: she lives near the stream, in the reeds.”

They crossed the stream in a canoe. and went to look for the hedgehog. And the hedgehog sat under a beech tree and dozed.

“Hedgehog, hedgehog,” the chickens, magpie, hare and duck shouted in unison, “don’t you know where the sun lives?” He had not been in heaven for three days; had he fallen ill? The hedgehog thought and said: “How can you not know!” I know where the sun lives. Behind the beech tree is a large mountain. There is a big cloud on the mountain. Above the cloud is the silver moon, and then the sun is just a stone's throw away!

The hedgehog took a stick, pulled his hat down and walked ahead of everyone to show the way. So they came to the top of a high mountain. And there the cloud clung to the top and lay there.

A chicken, a magpie, a hare, a duck and a hedgehog climbed onto the cloud, sat tight, and the cloud flew straight to visit the month.

And the moon saw them and quickly lit up its silver horn. “A month, a month,” the chickens, the magpie, the hare, the duck and the hedgehog shouted to him, “show us where the sun lives!” He was not in heaven for three days, we missed him.

The month brought them straight to the gates of the sun’s house, but the house was dark, there was no light: it had fallen asleep, apparently the sun did not want to wake up.

The hare heard about this - he grabbed a bucket and started carrying water. A duck heard about this - let’s wash the sun with water. And magpie - wipe with a towel. Let's clean the hedgehog with the prickly bristles. And the chickens began to brush away specks from the sun.

The sun came out into the clear, clear and golden sky. And everywhere it became light and warm.

“A month, a month,” the chickens, the magpie, the hare, the duck and the hedgehog shouted to him, “show us where the sun lives!” He was not in heaven for three days, we missed him.

The month brought them straight to the gates of the sun’s house, but the house was dark, there was no light: it had fallen asleep, apparently the sun did not want to wake up.

Then the magpie began to chatter, the chickens squeaked, the duck quacked, the hare flapped his ears, and the hedgehog tapped with his stick: “Little sunshine, look out and shine the light!” - Who is screaming under the window? - asked the sun. - Who is stopping me from sleeping? - It’s us - chickens, a magpie, a hare, a duck, and a hedgehog. We came to wake you up: morning has come. “Oh, oh!..” the sun moaned. - How can I look at the sky? For three days the clouds hid me, for three days they obscured me, now I won’t even be able to shine...

The hare heard about this - he grabbed a bucket and started carrying water. A duck heard about this - let’s wash the sun with water. And magpie - wipe with a towel. Let's clean the hedgehog with prickly bristles. And the chickens began to brush away specks from the sun.

The sun came out into the sky, clean, clear and golden. And everywhere it became light and warm.

The chicken also came out to bask in the sun. She came out, clucked, and called the chickens to her. And the chickens are right there. They run around the yard, look for grains, and bask in the sun.

Whoever doesn’t believe it, let him look: are chickens running around the yard or not?
