Fairy tale Fairy Gifts read

Once upon a time there lived a widow in the world, and she had two daughters. The eldest is the spitting image of her mother: the same face, the same character, you look at your daughter, but it seems that you see your mother in front of you. Both, the eldest daughter and mother, were so rude, arrogant, arrogant, and angry that all people, both acquaintances and strangers, tried to stay away from them.

And the youngest daughter was everything like her late father - kind, friendly, meek, and also a beauty, the likes of which are few.

Usually people love those who are similar to them. That is why the mother madly loved the eldest daughter and could not stand the youngest. She forced her to work from morning to night, and fed her in the kitchen.

In addition to all other chores, the youngest daughter had to go twice a day to the source, which was at least two hours away, and bring from there a large jug of water, full to the brim.

One day, when the girl was taking water, some poor woman came up to her and asked her to drink.

“Drink to your health, auntie,” said the kind girl.

Having quickly rinsed her jug, she scooped up water in the deepest and cleanest place and gave it to the woman, holding the jug so that it was easier to drink.

The woman took a few sips of water and said to the girl:

“You are so good, so kind and friendly, that I want to give you something as a keepsake.” (The fact is that it was a fairy who deliberately took on the appearance of a simple village woman in order to see if this girl was as sweet and courteous as they say about her.) This is what I will give you: from now on, every word you utter , will fall from your lips either as a flower or as a precious stone. Goodbye!

When the girl came home, her mother began to scold her for being late at the source.

“Sorry, mother,” said the poor girl. “I’m really late today.”

But as soon as she uttered these words, several roses, two pearls and two large diamonds fell from her lips.

- Look! - said the mother, her eyes wide open in surprise. - It seems to me that instead of words she drops diamonds and pearls... What happened to you, daughter? (For the first time in her life she called her youngest daughter, too.)

The girl simply, without hiding or boasting, told her mother about everything that happened to her at the source. And flowers and diamonds just fell from her lips.

“Well, if that’s the case,” said the mother, “I need to send my eldest daughter to the source too...

Come on, Fanchon, look what comes out of your sister’s lips as soon as she speaks! Don't you want to receive the same amazing gift? And to do this, you just need to go to the source and, when the poor woman asks you for water, politely give her a drink.

- Well, here’s another one! I want to trudge into such a distance! - answered the angry one.

- And I want you to go! – her mother shouted at her. - And this very minute, without talking!

The girl reluctantly obeyed and went, still grumbling. Just in case, she took with her a silver jug, the most beautiful one they had in the house.

She barely had time to approach the source when a smartly dressed lady came out of the forest to meet her and asked for a sip of water. (It was the same fairy, but this time she took on the guise of a princess to test whether her older sister was as rude and evil as they say.)

“Do you really think that I dragged myself here to give you something to drink?” – the girl said boldly. - Well, of course, just for this! I also grabbed a silver jug ​​on purpose to bring water to your honor!.. But I don’t care, though. Drink if you want...

“However, you are not very kind,” the fairy said calmly. - Well, such is the service, such is the reward. From now on, every word that comes out of your lips will turn into a snake or a toad. Farewell!

As soon as the girl returned home, her mother rushed to meet her:

- Is that you, daughter? So how?

- And so, mother! - the daughter muttered in response, and at the same instant two vipers and two toads plopped down on the threshold.

- Oh my god! - the mother screamed. - What is this? Where?.. Oh, I know! It's all your sister's fault. Well, she’ll pay with me!.. – And she rushed at her youngest daughter with her fists.

The poor thing ran away in fear and took refuge in the nearby forest.

There the young prince, the son of the king of this country, met her.

Returning from a hunt, he found a beautiful girl in a thicket and, marveling at her beauty, asked what she was doing in the forest all alone and why she was crying so bitterly.

“Ah, sir,” answered the beauty, “my mother drove me out of the house!”

The royal son noticed that with every word the girl dropped a flower, pearl or diamond from her lips. He was amazed and asked to explain what kind of miracle this was. And then the girl told him her whole story.

The king's son fell in love with her. In addition, he reasoned that the gift that the fairy bestowed on the beauty was worth more than any dowry that another bride could bring him. He took the girl to the palace, to his father, and married her.

Well, the older sister became more and more disgusting and unbearable every day. In the end, even her own mother could not stand it and drove her out of the house. The unfortunate woman could not find refuge anywhere or with anyone and died, rejected by everyone.

The fairy tale Fairy's Gifts has a traditional plot for many folk and literary fairy tales about rewarding a good girl and punishing an evil one. But in the interpretation of Charles Perrault, the fairy tale takes on a special appeal. Reading such a fairy tale to your child before bed is a pleasure: it is short, instructive and carries a positive charge.

Fairy tale Fairy Gifts read

The mother had two daughters. She loved and pitied her older mother, who was as angry and arrogant as herself. And she took out all the evil on the youngest, friendly and affectionate, and constantly loaded the poor thing with work. People were drawn to the youngest daughter for her kindness, but tried to stay away from the mother and eldest daughter. The mother sent her youngest daughter to the spring for water. The good fairy met the girl and decided to test her. She appeared before her in the form of an old woman and asked for a drink. The girl smiled welcomingly, took some fresh water and held the jug while the grandmother drank. The fairy saw that people were telling the truth about the girl’s kind heart and said: “With every word you say, pearls and rose petals will fly from your lips.” Arriving home, the youngest daughter spoke to her mother. She was speechless in surprise when she saw such a miracle. I quickly escorted my beloved daughter to the spring. It was not the old woman, but the lady who asked the girl for a drink. She was rude, rude, and also received a gift from the fairy - snakes and frogs fell from the eldest daughter’s mouth at every word she spoke. The mother blamed her youngest daughter for everything and kicked her out of the house. The poor thing went wherever she looked. The prince was returning from a hunt when he saw a tearful girl. He spoke to her, and when the girl answered, roses and pearls fell from her lips. Having learned the girl's story, the prince fell in love with her and married her. And people disliked the evil sister even more. Even my own mother couldn’t stand it and kicked me out of the house. You can read the fairy tale online on our website.
