Without a little gray bird, it’s hard to imagine the landscape of a modern city. This bird is distinguished by cheerfulness, resourcefulness, sociability, quickness.
She is always before her eyes. However, for many centuries, even the scientists living with her in the neighborhood could not accurately describe her life. Representatives of this family can’t stand it when they pay too much attention. They prefer to be in the shade, even constantly spinning underfoot.
Here is the first mystery about the sparrow. For children (as well as for adults), each of the following can be a small discovery.
Where did his name come from?
In Slavic dialects, the root in the name “sparrow” is the same as coo in the verb. The noun “work” is not used now. But precisely because of the relentless coo and tweet, this bird is named that way. Here is the riddle about the sparrow, in which both the erroneous and faithful interpretations of the origin of his name are told.

I'm stealing and cunning.
And all cry for a long time:

I'm not a clumsy goose

I am jumping.
Jump-jump in the winter - to the feeding trough.
In the summer, the jump-jump is behind the front sight.
(Answer: sparrow).
3.
This is my eye structure,
That in the light of pink I see you.
Here is a huge cat racing at me,
Closer is his pink belly.
I barely jumped
I almost flew under the bus!
He left, the same pinkish
Like a janitor that drove me with a shovel
Like a boy with a stick
Shouting to me: "Hold on!".
Oh, you are heavy, pink life!
(Answer: sparrow).
The last mystery about the sparrow does not just report on his characteristic “outlook on life”. She also awakens sympathy for our younger brothers in the audience. And perhaps the one who guessed the poor fellow today will not rush after him with a stick tomorrow.

I can clean feathers!
