Squirrel and wolf

The squirrel jumped from branch to branch and fell straight onto the sleepy wolf. The wolf jumped up and wanted to eat her. The squirrel began to ask:

- Let me in.

Wolf said:

- Okay, I’ll let you in, just tell me why you squirrels are so cheerful. I’m always bored, but I look at you, you’re up there playing and jumping.

Belka said:

“Let me go up the tree first, and from there I’ll tell you, otherwise I’m afraid of you.”

The wolf let go, and the squirrel went up a tree and said from there:

Morning rays

The red sun floated into the sky and began to scatter its golden rays - to awaken the earth.

The third beam hit the chicken coop. The rooster crowed: "Ku-ku-re-ku!"
The fourth ray hit the hive. A bee flew off to collect honey from fragrant flowers.

Once upon a time there lived a baby elephant.
It was a very good little elephant. The only problem was: he didn’t know what to do, who to be. So the baby elephant sat by the window, sniffling and thinking, thinking...
One day it started to rain outside.
- Ooh! - said the wet little fox, seeing a baby elephant in the window. - What a big-eared guy! Yes, with such ears, he could very well be an umbrella!
The baby elephant was happy and became a “big umbrella.” And foxes, and hares, and hedgehogs - everyone hid under his big ears from the rain...

Below the birds, above all sorts of flowers - umbelliferous, cruciferous, and the most invisible, such as plantain - fluffy bumblebees, bees and dragonflies flew. The bumblebees did not pay attention to Petya, but the dragonflies stopped in the air and, shooting their wings, looked at him with bulging eyes, as if they were thinking: should they hit him in the forehead with all their might, scare him from the shore, or should they not mess with such a little one? It was good in the water too. You look at it from the shore - and you are so tempted to dive and look: what is there, in the deep depths, where the seaweed is swaying? And it seems that a crayfish the size of a grandmother’s trough is crawling along the bottom, with its claws outstretched, and the fish are backing away from it, waving their tails. Gradually, both animals and birds got used to Petya and used to listen in the morning: when will his horn sing behind the bushes? At first they got used to Petya, and then they fell in love with him because he did not misbehave: he did not knock down nests with sticks, did not tie dragonflies by the legs with thread, did not throw stones at beavers and did not poison fish with lime. The trees rustled quietly towards Petya - they remembered that he had never, like other boys, bent thin aspen trees to the very ground in order to admire how they, straightened up, trembled for a long time in pain and rustled - complaining with their leaves.

We brought a box from the barn, filled it to the top with earth and transplanted a small birch tree into it. The box was placed in the brightest and warmest room by the window, and a day later the drooping branches of the birch rose up, she was all cheerful, and even her leaves were already rustling when a draft wind rushed into the room and slammed the door in anger. Autumn settled in the garden, but the leaves of our birch remained green and alive. The maples burned dark purple, the euonymus turned pink, and the wild grapes on the gazebo withered. Even here and there on the birch trees in the garden yellow strands appeared, like the first gray hair of a still young person. But the birch tree in the room seemed to be getting younger. We did not notice any signs of fading in her. One night the first frost came. He breathed cold air onto the windows in the house, and they fogged up, sprinkled grainy frost on the roofs, and crunched under his feet.

Sometimes at night, waking up, Tchaikovsky heard how, crackling, one or the other floorboard would sing, as if remembering his daytime music and snatching his favorite note from it. It was also reminiscent of an orchestra before an overture, when the orchestra members tune their instruments. Here and there - sometimes in the attic, sometimes in a small hall, sometimes in a glassed-in hallway - someone was touching the string. Tchaikovsky caught the melody in his sleep, but when he woke up in the morning, he forgot it. He strained his memory and sighed. What a pity that the night rattling of a wooden house cannot be played now! Play a simple song of a parched tree, window panes with fallen putty, the wind knocking a branch on the roof. Listening to the sounds of the night, he often thought that life was passing by, but nothing had really been done yet. Everything written is just a modest tribute to his people, friends, beloved poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. But never before has he been able to convey that slight delight that arises from the sight of a rainbow, from the sounds of peasant girls in the thicket, from the simplest phenomena. surrounding life. The simpler what he saw, the more difficult it was to put into music. How can I convey at least yesterday’s incident, when he took refuge from the pouring rain in the hut of the tracker Tikhon.

Two owls, gray owls, settled in the hollow of a gnarled tree in the middle of a dense forest. In early spring, a female tawny owl laid four round white eggs directly onto the rotting bottom of the hollow. The owls flew out of the hollow only at night, when all the other birds were sleeping. Therefore, no one in the forest knew where these terrible night robbers lived. The tiny kings with fiery yellow caps on their heads did not know this either. For a long time they searched throughout the forest for a quiet place for their nest. In the end, they chose a tall spruce tree right next to the gnarled tree where the owls were hiding. At the beginning of summer, when the owlets hatched in the hollow, the kinglets also made a nest for themselves. High above the ground, at the very tip of the branch, they deftly wove flexible needles of pine needles. It seemed to the owls from below that small branches were tangled into a ball on a wide spruce paw. It never occurred to them that in this ball there was a cozy round nest of moss, grass stems and strong horsehair. The kings covered the top of the nest with spruce lichen, wove thin cobwebs into the walls, and lined the inside with feathers; on this soft bedding the female laid eight pink eggs with brown specks, the size of a pea. Less than two weeks had passed before naked babies began to flounder in the kings’ nest.

I was driving home from hunting in the evening alone in a racing droshky. The house was still about eight miles away; my good trotting mare ran briskly along dusty road, occasionally snoring and moving his ears; the tired dog, as if tied, did not lag behind the rear wheels a single step. A thunderstorm was approaching. Ahead, a huge purple cloud slowly rose from behind the forest; Long gray clouds were rushing above me and towards me; the willows moved and babbled anxiously. The stifling heat suddenly gave way to damp cold; the shadows quickly grew thicker. I hit the horse with the reins, went down into the ravine, crossed a dry stream, all overgrown with vines, climbed the mountain and entered the forest. The road wound in front of me between dense hazel bushes, already filled with darkness; I moved forward with difficulty. The droshky jumped along the hard roots of hundred-year-old oaks and lindens, constantly crossing deep longitudinal ruts - traces of cart wheels; my horse began to stumble. A strong wind suddenly began to roar overhead, the trees began to storm, large drops of rain began to knock sharply, splashed on the leaves, lightning flashed, and a thunderstorm broke out.

Wind and Sun

One day the Sun and the angry North Wind started a dispute about which of them was stronger. They argued for a long time and finally decided to measure their strength with the traveler, who at that very time was riding on horseback along high road.

“Look,” said the Wind, “how I’ll fly at him: I’ll instantly tear off his cloak.”

He said - and began to blow as hard as he could. But the more the Wind tried, the tighter the traveler wrapped himself in his cloak: he grumbled about the bad weather, but rode further and further.

The wind became angry, fierce, and showered the poor traveler with rain and snow; Cursing the Wind, the traveler put his cloak into the sleeves and tied it with a belt. At this point the Wind himself became convinced that he could not pull off his cloak.

The sun, seeing the powerlessness of its rival, smiled, looked out from behind the clouds, warmed and dried the earth, and at the same time the poor half-frozen traveler.

Feeling the warmth sun rays, he perked up, blessed the Sun, took off his cloak himself, rolled it up and tied it to the saddle.

“You see,” the meek Sun then said to the angry Wind, “you can do much more with affection and kindness than with anger.”

Text for testing reading skills, the ability to work with the text of a work of fiction (grade 4)

Dancer

Well, what a weather, so that it has no bottom, no tires!

Rain, slush, cold, straight-brrrr!.. In such weather, a good owner will not let the dog out of the house.

I decided not to release mine either. Let him sit at home and warm himself. And he took the binoculars, dressed warmly, pulled the hood over his forehead - and went! It’s still interesting to see what the animal does in such bad weather.

And as soon as I left the outskirts, I saw a fox! He mouses and hunts for mice. It prowls through the stubble: its back is arched, its head and tail are towards the ground - a clean rocker.

She lay down on her belly, her ears upright, and crawled: apparently she heard the voles. Now they crawl out of their holes every now and then to collect grain for the winter.

Suddenly the fox threw itself off with its entire front, then fell with its front paws and nose to the ground, rushed, and a black lump flew up. The fox opened its toothy mouth and caught the mouse in flight. And she swallowed it without even chewing it.

And suddenly she started dancing! Jumps on all four, as if on springs. Then suddenly he jumps on his hind legs like a circus dog: up and down, up and down! She wags her tail and sticks out her pink tongue with zeal.

I’ve been lying there for a long time, watching her through binoculars. My ear is close to the ground - I can hear her paws stomping. He was covered in mud himself. I don’t understand why she’s dancing!

In this weather, just sit at home, in a warm, dry hole! And what kind of tricks does she pull out with her feet!

I got tired of getting wet, so I jumped up to my full height. The fox saw it and barked in fright. Maybe she even bit her tongue. Get into the bushes - I was the only one who saw her!

I walked around the stubble and, like a fox, kept looking at my feet. Nothing remarkable: soil soaked from rain, rusty stems. Then I lay down like a fox on my stomach: wouldn’t I see something? I see: a lot of mouse holes. I hear mice squeaking in their holes. Then I jumped to my feet and let’s dance the fox dance! I jump up on the spot and stamp my feet.

Just then the frightened field mice will jump out of the ground! They shy away from side to side, bump into each other, squeak piercingly... Eh, if I were a fox, then...

What can I say: I realized what a hunt I had ruined for the fox.

She danced, she didn’t spoil her, she drove mice out of their holes... She would have had a feast here for the whole world!

It turns out what animal tricks you can recognize in this weather: fox dancing! I would spit on the rain and the cold, I would go to observe other animals, but I would feel sorry for my dog. It’s a shame I didn’t take it with me. He's bored, I guess, in the warmth under the roof.

Spring – red

When- then a long time ago- Spring has long since arrived- red on a visit to the northern regions. She spent the whole winter with migratory birds in the warm south, and how the sun began to rise higher and higher in the sky, then she decided to fly.

Spring asks migratory birds – geese, swans: « Take me further north, they're waiting for me there– people won't wait either, and animals, and birds, and various tiny bugs- spiders». But the birds were afraid to fly north:« There, - They say, - snow and ice, cold and hunger, we will all freeze and die». No matter how much Spring asked, no one wanted to take it to the northern regions. She was completely sad: What, it is seen, I'll have to live in the south my whole life.

Suddenly she hears a voice from where- then from above: « Don't be sad Spring- red, sit on me, I'll take you north quickly». Looked up, and white floats across the sky above her, fluffy cloud. Spring rejoiced, climbed onto the Cloud and flew from the Northern regions. It's flying down, to the ground, glances. And there, on the ground, everyone is happy about her, everyone meets her. The fields are full of thawed patches, streams are running, breaking the ice on the river, and bushes and trees in forests and gardens are covered with large, ready here- the buds are about to open.

Spring has flown- red from south to north on a white fluffy Cloud. And after her, countless flocks of migratory birds flocked to their native lands.– geese, swans, and all sorts of winged little things: larks, starlings, blackbirds, finches, warblers, warblers…

So from then on people noticed: how the first fluffy cloud appears in the sky, So, Means, it's Spring- the red one has arrived. Now expect warmth from day to day, hollow water, wait for cheerful winged guests from the south…

Option 1

Jack the Guide

Residents of Mira Street know this man well. In winter and summer, wearing large black glasses on his face speckled with blue marks, he walks along the sidewalk every day and tap-tap - tapping with his carved stick. The man in black glasses is a former military pilot. He lost one arm and both eyes from the explosion of an enemy shell. And suddenly, to the surprise of passers-by, the blind pilot appeared without his eternal wand. Instead, he held the dog by the leash. Jack confidently led his master down the street. At the intersection, Jack stopped and waited for the cars to pass. He avoided every pillar, every pothole or puddle.

“Jack, stop!” - and the dog obediently leads its owner to the bus. If the bus passengers themselves don’t think of giving up their seat to a blind man, Jack chooses a younger man from among those sitting and nuzzles his nose into his knees: they say, you can stand, but it’s difficult for my owner to stand... “Jack, go to the store!” - takes you to the grocery store.

Jack is now my eye in return! - the former pilot cannot boast enough about his guide.

And the children did not help her. My mother fell ill from her hard life. She lies there and asks, calls the children: “Children, my throat is dry, bring me some water.”

The mother asked not once, not twice. Children don't go for water. Finally, the eldest wanted to eat, looked into the tent, and the mother was standing in the middle of the tent, putting on a malitsa. And suddenly the little girl became covered with feathers. The mother takes a board on which the skin is scraped, and that board becomes a bird's tail. The iron thimble became her beak. Instead of arms, wings grew. The mother turned into a bird and flew out of the tent.

Brothers, look, look: our mother is flying away like a bird! - the eldest son shouted.

Mom, we brought you some water.

Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo! It's too late, son, I won't be back.

SMART MOTHER-LARK

One day, a family of larks built their nest in the middle of a sown field. When summer passed, the baby larks grew up. Wheat also grew.

And then one day the owner went out into the field, looked at the wheat and said to his son: “I think it’s time to harvest the grain. Tomorrow I will ask the neighbors to come help me.”

The little larks heard these words and ran to their mother: “The owner wants to harvest tomorrow. We are afraid that he will destroy our nest. Let’s fly away from this field today!” “Today we are still out of danger,” said the lark mother. “We can stay here one more day.”

The next morning the owner and his son went out into the field. They waited for a long, long time, but not a single neighbor came to help them. Everyone was busy in their fields.

The next day the owner and his son went out into the field again. The owner looked at the wheat and said: “Indeed, it’s time to harvest it. Now I will ask my brothers and sisters to come help me.”

The little larks heard these words. They got scared and ran to their mother. "Mother! - they shouted. “The owner wants to harvest the bread tomorrow.” He's going to call his brothers and sisters for help."

“Don’t be scared,” said the lark mother. – There is no danger yet. We can safely stay here one more day.”

Indeed, the next day neither the owner’s brothers nor sisters came. They all said that, unfortunately, they were very busy in their own fields. On the third day, the owner got up early in the morning, went out into the field and began to work alone.

When the lark mother saw this, she said: “Now it’s time for us to fly away. Because things get done only when a person does it himself, and does not wait for others to do it for him.”

(Aesop)
