Suteev stick. Vladimir Suteev "magic wand"

Hedgehog was walking home. On the way, the Hare caught up with him, and they went together. The road is half as long with two people. It's a long way from home - they walk and talk. And there was a stick across the road. During the conversation, the Hare did not notice her - he stumbled and almost fell.

Oh, you!.. - the Hare got angry. He kicked the stick and it flew far to the side.

And the Hedgehog picked up the stick, threw it over his shoulder and ran to catch up with the Hare.

The Hare saw the Hedgehog holding a stick and was surprised:

Why do you need a stick? What's the use of it?

This stick is not simple,” explained the Hedgehog. - This is a lifesaver.

Hey, Prickly Head, throw away your stick, you won’t get over here with it!

The Hedgehog did not answer anything, stepped back a little, ran up, stuck a stick in the middle of the stream as he ran, flew to the other bank in one fell swoop and stood next to the Hare as if nothing had happened.

The hare even opened his mouth in surprise:

It turns out you're great at jumping!

“I don’t know how to jump at all,” said the Hedgehog, “this is a lifesaver - the jump rope helped me through everything.”

The hare jumps from hummock to hummock. The hedgehog walks behind and checks the road in front of him with a stick.

Hey, Prickly Head, why are you trudged along there? Probably your stick...

Before the Hare had time to finish speaking, he fell off the hummock and fell into the quagmire up to his ears. He's about to choke and drown.

The Hedgehog moved onto a hummock, closer to the Hare, and shouted:

Grab your stick! Yes, stronger!

The Hare grabbed the stick. The hedgehog pulled with all his might and pulled his friend out of the swamp. When they got out to a dry place, the Hare says to the Hedgehog:

Thank you, Hedgehog, you saved me.

What you! This is a lifesaver - a lifesaver out of trouble. We went further and at the very edge of a large dark forest we saw a chick on the ground. He fell out of the nest and squeaked pitifully, and his parents circled around him, not knowing what to do.

Help, help! - they chirped.

The nest is high up - you can’t reach it. Neither the Hedgehog nor the Hare can climb trees. And we need help

Hedgehog thought and thought and came up with an idea.

Face the tree! - he commanded the Hare.

The hare stood facing the tree. The Hedgehog placed the chick on the tip of his stick, climbed onto the Hare's shoulders with it, lifted the stick as best he could and reached almost to the nest. The chick squeaked again and jumped straight into the nest.

His dad and mom were so happy! They hover around the Hare and the Hedgehog and chirp:

Thank you thank you thank you!

And the Hare says to the Hedgehog:

Well done, Hedgehog! Good idea!

What you! This is all a lifesaver - a lifter to the top!

The Hare and the Hedgehog stopped. The wolf licked his lips, clinked his teeth and said:

I won’t touch you, Hedgehog, you’re prickly, but I’ll eat you, Kosoy, whole, tail and ears included!

The Bunny trembled with fear, turned all white, as if in winter, and could not run: his legs were rooted to the ground. He closed his eyes - now the Wolf will eat him. Only the Hedgehog was not taken aback: he swung his stick and hit the Wolf on the back with all his might.

The Wolf howled in pain, jumped up and ran...

So he ran away, never looking back.

Thank you, Hedgehog, you have now saved me from the Wolf!

“This is a lifesaver - it hits the enemy,” answered the Hedgehog.

Let's move on. We passed through the forest and came out onto the road. But the road is hard, uphill. The Hedgehog stomps ahead, leans on a stick, but the poor Hare lags behind, almost falls from fatigue. It’s very close to the house, but the Hare can’t go any further.

“Nothing,” said the Hedgehog, “hold on to my wand.”

The Hare grabbed the stick, and the Hedgehog dragged him up the mountain. And it seemed to the Hare that it became easier to walk.

Look,” he says to the Hedgehog, “your magic wand helped me this time too.”

So the Hedgehog brought the Hare to his home, and there the Hare with her babies had been waiting for him for a long time. They rejoice at the meeting, and the Hare says to the Hedgehog:

If it weren’t for this magic wand of yours, I wouldn’t have seen my home.

The Hedgehog grinned and said:

Take this wand from me as a gift, maybe you will need it again.

The hare was even taken aback:

But how will you be left without such a magic wand?

It’s okay,” answered the Hedgehog, “you can always find a stick, but here’s a lifesaver,” he tapped his forehead, “and that’s where the lifesaver is!”

Then the Hare understood everything.

You said it right: it’s not the stick that matters, but a smart head and a kind heart!

A fairy tale about how intelligence and ingenuity can turn even an ordinary wand into a lifesaver. So the hare tripped over a stick, and the hedgehog took it with him. And for good reason. On the way home it was very useful to them. And even saved the life of a hare...

Lifesaver read

Hedgehog was walking home. On the way, the Hare caught up with him, and they went together. The road is half as long with two people.

It's a long way from home - they walk and talk.

And there was a stick across the road.

During the conversation, the Hare did not notice her - he stumbled and almost fell.

And the Hedgehog picked up the stick, threw it over his shoulder and ran to catch up with the Hare.

The Hare saw the Hedgehog holding a stick and was surprised:

Why do you need a stick? What's the use of it?

This stick is not simple,” explained the Hedgehog. - This is a lifesaver.

The hare only snorted in response.

The hare jumped over the stream in one jump and shouted from the other bank:

Hey, Prickly Head, throw away your stick, you won’t get over here with it!

The Hedgehog did not answer anything, stepped back a little, ran up, stuck a stick in the middle of the stream as he ran, flew to the other bank in one fell swoop and stood next to the Hare as if nothing had happened.

The Hedgehog moved onto a hummock, closer to the Hare, and shouted:

Grab your stick! Yes, stronger!

The Hare grabbed the stick. The hedgehog pulled with all his might and pulled his friend out of the swamp.

When they got out to a dry place, the Hare says to the Hedgehog:

And the Hare says to the Hedgehog:

And suddenly a huge Wolf jumped out from behind a tree right at them, blocked the road, and growled:

The Hare and the Hedgehog stopped.

The wolf licked his lips, clinked his teeth and said:

I won’t touch you, Hedgehog, you’re prickly, but I’ll eat you, Kosoy, whole, tail and ears included!

The Bunny trembled with fear, turned all white, as if in winter, and could not run: his legs were rooted to the ground. He closed his eyes - now the Wolf will eat him.

“This is a lifesaver - it hits the enemy,” answered the Hedgehog.

“Nothing,” said the Hedgehog, “hold on to my wand.”

Vladimir Grigorievich Suteev “The Lifesaver”.
One day the Hedgehog was walking home through the forest. On the way, the Hare caught up with him.
HARE: Hey, prickly head, where are you going?
HEDGEHOG: I'm going home.
HARE: Me too. Go together!
HEDGEHOG: Let's go, together, and the road is half as long!
A hare gallops along the road and does not notice a stick right in front of him. He tripped and fell.
HARE: Oh-oh-oh!.. Here you go...
(Kicked a stick with his foot and it flew to the side) HEDGEHOG: What are you, hare, why are you kicking a stick?
HARE: Why do you need it? What's the use of it?
HEDGEHOG: This stick is not an ordinary one, it is a lifesaver.
HARE: Let's jump over the stream, hedgehog! (Jumps, screams)
Hey, Prickly Head, throw away your stick, you won’t get over here with it!
HEDGEHOG: Now! I just won’t throw the stick! Stick, stick, lifesaver, quickly turn into a jump rope!
(The Hedgehog stepped back a little, ran up, stuck a stick in the middle of the stream, flew to the other bank and stood next to the Hare)
HARE: It turns out you're great at jumping!
HEDGEHOG: I don’t know how to jump at all, this is a lifesaver - the jump rope helped me through everything.
They moved on. And the road ran through the swamp.
The hare jumps from hummock to hummock. The hedgehog walks behind and checks the road in front of him with a stick.
HARE: Hey, Prickly Head, why are you trudged along there? Your stick is probably bothering you... Oops! I'm drowning!
HEDGEHOG: Grab your stick! Yes, stronger! The stick-stick is a lifesaver now you'll be a gal!
(The Hare grabbed the stick. The Hedgehog pulled with all his might and pulled him out of the swamp)
HARE: Thank you, Hedgehog, you saved me.
HEDGEHOG: What you! This is a lifesaver - a lifesaver out of trouble.
We went further and at the very edge of a large dark forest we saw a chick on the ground. He fell out of the nest and squeaked pitifully.
CHICK: Help, help! I fell out of the nest and now I can’t get back in!
The nest is high up - you can’t reach it. Neither the Hedgehog nor the Hare can climb trees. And we need help.
HEDGEHOG: Bunny! Face the tree! Stick, stick, lifesaver, turn into a little something!
(The Hare stood facing the tree. The Hedgehog put the chick on the tip of a stick, climbed onto the Hare’s shoulders with it, lifted the stick and reached almost to the nest. The chick squeaked again and jumped straight into the nest)
CHICK: Thank you thank you thank you!
HARE: Well done, Hedgehog! Good idea!
HEDGEHOG: What you! This is all a lifesaver - a lifter to the top!
A hedgehog and a bunny are walking through the forest; the further into the forest, the denser it is. The Hare is scared. But the Hedgehog doesn’t show it: he walks ahead, pushing the branches apart with a stick. And suddenly a huge Wolf jumped out from behind a tree right at them.
WOLF: Stop! I won’t touch you, Hedgehog, you’re prickly, get out while you’re still alive!
HEDGEHOG: Goodbye, bunny!
HARE: Goodbye hedgehog!
WOLF: Well, now no one is bothering us... and now Kosoy, I will eat you whole, tail and ears included!
HEDGEHOG: Stick, stick, lifesaver, turn into a striker!
(The Bunny trembled with fear, he couldn’t run: his legs were rooted to the ground. Only the Hedgehog didn’t lose his head: he swung his stick and hit the Wolf on the back. The Wolf howled in pain, jumped up - and ran...)
HARE: Thank you, Hedgehog, you have now saved me from the Wolf!
HEDGEHOG: This is a lifesaver - a blow to the enemy.
Let's move on. We passed through the forest and came out onto the road. But the road is hard, uphill. The Hedgehog stomps ahead, leans on a stick, but the poor Hare lags behind, almost falls from fatigue.
HEDGEHOG: Hold on to my wand.
The Hare grabbed the stick, and the Hedgehog dragged him up the mountain. And it seemed to the Hare that it became easier to walk.
HARE: Look, your magic wand helped me this time too. If it weren’t for this magic wand of yours, I wouldn’t have seen my home.
HEDGEHOG: Take this wand from me as a gift, maybe you will need it again.
HARE: But how will you be left without such a magic wand?
HEDGEHOG: It’s okay, you can always find a stick, but the lifesaver is where it is!
HARE: You said it right: it’s not the stick that matters, but a smart head and a kind heart!
