Soviet children’s fairy tale “Zaykina’s hut” was known by heart to the Soviet children, because their generation was different from today's children. According to this fairy tale, a lot of fascinating, color and very funny animated films were shot. The plots of such tales often have a philosophical and very deeper meaning than we can imagine. Therefore, most of the great classics loved this genre: A. Pushkin, M. Lermontov, M. Saltykov-Shchedrin, L. Tolstoy, etc. So for children, such stories can even act as a kind of parting advice in later life.
Fairy tale "Zaykina hut"
And now, in fact, about the plot of the tale itself. Once in the forest in the clearing in the neighborhood lived Fox and Bunny. When autumn came and it became unbearably cold in the forest, they decided to build their homes. Chanterelle built a hut of ice for herself, and Bunny began to build a bast for herself. Therefore, when spring came (and they hibernated in their constructed dwellings), the ice fox house melted from the warm sunlight. Then Chanterelle conceived the trick to pick up the house from Zayka, and at first she asked to spend the night at Zayka, and then completely drove him out into the street.
Bunny Tears
The fairy tale “Zaikin’s hut” further tells that Bunny wandered where his eyes looked, and then sat under a birch tree and burst into tears. At that very moment Dog came out of the forest. Seeing that Bunny was crying, he asked those who offended him. The bunny began to complain to him and tell his sad story about how he lived with the fox in the neighborhood and how they built their houses, it is icy, and he is bast, and how she kicked him out into the street when her house melted in the spring.
The dog was indignant, wanted to help poor Zayka and went with him to his house to drive out the insidious Fox. They came to Zaika’s house, growled and barked The Dog on the Fox, began to scold her and drive her out of the house. But Chanterelle was cunning, and in response she shouted at him so much that he, frightened of her evil temper and the fact that she would tear his skin to shreds, rushed to the hilt.
Bear
There was one Bunny and cried even more. At this time, Bear was walking through the forest. Seeing the tear-stricken Zayka and learning his bitter history, he decided to help the poor fellow and went with him to his house. Before the Bear had time to scare the Fox, she immediately threatened to arrange such a bashing that he had never seen before. The bear immediately collapsed and disappeared into the thicket.
The tale of “Zaykin’s hut” could not end with such an unhappy ending, and therefore there was a continuation.
Savior Cockerel
The bunny was completely desperate and did not know what to do, but a brave Cockerel walked by with a scythe on his shoulders and saw an unfortunate tear-stained bunny, who again told his story about how Fox had offended him and how he had remained without his bast house .
Then the Cockerel promised to drive Chanterelle. But Bunny did not believe anyone. However, the Cockerel insisted on his own. When they approached the hare hut, the Cockerel screamed at the top of his lungs and let's threaten the oblique Fox, and then pecked her in the back. She was very scared, trembling with fear, and ran out of the hut. And Bunny behind her door and slammed it. Bunny was so happy that he invited Rooster to his place. And so ended the Russian folk tale "Zaikin's hut." They began to live together happily, and no one else ever offended Zayka.
