Children's fairy tales online. Fox and raven - Kerek folk tale Russian folk tale crow and fox
The fox was too lazy to get food for itself, and therefore lived poorly, starving. One day she said to her daughter:
- I'll deceive the crow. I will say that I got married and began to live richly.
Daughter says:
- Don't cheat! Better ask him for food in a good way.
The fox didn't listen. I took an old wet fish net, stuffed it into a bag, tied it up, and went to the raven. The raven heard someone coming and asked:
- Who's there?
And the fox is already in the hallway replies:
- This is my husband and I came. The raven was surprised:
- Look! My cousin got married. Let the husband show.
Lisa says:
- The husband cannot be in the light. His ancestors lived in darkness, and he loves darkness. It's like he's blind - he can't see anything.
Then the raven says:
- Well, put out the lights. Let them come.
When the fox entered, the raven asked:
- What will you eat? Lisa replied:
- We have a lot of food. Eat yourself. The raven's wife went to the pantry for food, and the fox quietly crept behind her and began to put food in a bag. She put on a full bag, tied it up, took it out into the hallway, put it in a corner.
And the raven is surprised:
- Finally, my cousin got married!
And the fox is bragging:
- My husband has a lot of deer. Two large herds. Do you have any eggs? My husband is very fond of eggs. In exchange, I promise you deerskins. Here they are, the skins, in the bag. Feel.
The raven felt the bag. Indeed, there is something soft, like deer skins. The raven rejoiced: "Here is wealth - enough for everyone to wear clothes." He ordered the bag to be put in the canopy.
The Raven's Wife says:
- We have a son, you have a daughter. That would be to marry them!
The fox thought and said:
- If your son wants, we will arrange marriage. So talking, they drank tea. Then the fox said, as if addressing her husband:
- Let's go home, otherwise our deer will get scared and run away.
She said goodbye to the raven and his wife, grabbed a bag of food in the entryway, loaded herself so that she barely reached the house. At home, she said to her daughter, laughing:
- Look, I deceived the crow. He thinks I'm really married. And he took the old net for deer skins.
The daughter again said:
- Why are you lying? You should have asked nicely.
Lisa replied angrily:
- And you do not teach me, otherwise I will leave you without food!
The daughter fell silent, and the fox ate the eggs and began to cook the meat.
Meanwhile, the raven rejoiced that it was so easy to get deer skins. Suddenly, something dripped in the canopy. The raven's wife exclaimed:
- What's dripping?
- Probably, the fox wetted the expensive skin, - the raven answered.
At that time, their son arrived. When they told him about the skins, he said:
- Come on, show your wealth! The mother took out the bag, untied it, pulled out the net, was surprised:
- Look, there's nothing! Only the old wet mesh!
The raven got angry and ordered:
- Doors in the pantry hang with a net. If the fox comes again, let him take the food himself. He sticks his paw into the bag and gets into the apkan.
Indeed, after a while the fox came again, again making false speeches:
Here we are with my husband again. The skins were brought.
The raven's wife pretended to be sick, says:
Ah, my head hurts today. Can't get out.
Lisa says:
- Well, goodbye then, we're in a hurry.
And she herself made her way to the pantry, put her paw into the bag. The paw got stuck in the bag. The fox pulled its paw, wanted to run away, but got tangled in the net, screamed:
- Oh, what are you doing to me? And the raven says:
- You did something bad to yourself. Why did you deceive us? Why did you give the old mesh instead of skins? Why are you climbing into other people's pantries?
The fox began to cry, began to ask to be released, but no one rescued her. Finally she managed to break the net and jump out into the street. And her paw is in a trap. So I ran home with him.
“Release me,” she asks her daughter.
The daughter did not want to help her mother, because she was a deceiver, but nevertheless she regretted it and freed her.
So the raven taught the thief and the deceiver the fox a lesson.
Ivan Andreevich Krylov's fable "The Crow and the Fox" was created no later than the end of 1807, and was first published in the journal Dramatic Bulletin in 1908. The plot of this fable has been known since ancient times and travels through countries and centuries to this day. We meet him in Aesop* (Ancient Greece), Phaedrus (Ancient Rome), La Fontaine (France, XVII century), Lessing* (Germany, XVIII century), Russian poets A.P. Sumarokov (XVIII century), V.K. Trediakovsky (XVIII century)
A CROW AND A FOX
How many times have they told the world
That flattery is vile, harmful; but everything is not for the future,
And in the heart the flatterer will always find a corner.
Somewhere God sent a piece of cheese to a crow;
Crow perched on the spruce,
I was quite ready to have breakfast,
Yes, I thought about it, but I kept the cheese in my mouth.
To that misfortune, the Fox ran close;
Suddenly, the cheese spirit stopped Lisa:
The fox sees the cheese, the fox is captivated by the cheese.
The cheat approaches the tree on tiptoe;
He wags his tail, does not take his eyes off the Crow
And he says so sweetly, breathing a little:
"Darling, how pretty!
Well, what a neck, what eyes!
To tell, so, right, fairy tales!
What feathers! what a sock!
And, of course, there must be an angelic voice!
Sing, little one, don't be ashamed! What if, sister,
With such beauty, you are a master of singing, -
After all, you would be our king-bird!"
Veshunin's head was spinning with praise,
From joy in the goiter breath stole, -
And to Lisitsy's friendly words
The crow croaked at the top of its throat:
The cheese fell out - there was such a cheat with it.
Our modern Russian language has changed somewhat since the writing of the fable, and we rarely use some words and expressions. To better understand the meaning of some words from the fable, look at their meaning:
"God sent" It means it came from nowhere.
perching up- climbing up.
Spirit- here means smell.
captivated- attracted attention, led to delight.
cheat- a deceiver.
king bird- this is the most important, most important bird in the forest, which has beautiful plumage and a wonderful voice, in a word, it surpasses everyone in everything.
Pythoness- This is from the word "to know", to know. The prophetess is a sorceress who knows everything in advance. It is believed that ravens can predict fate, which is why in the fable the Raven is called the prophetess.
Goiter- the throat of a bird.

Raven and Fox
The raven took away a piece of meat and sat on a tree. The fox saw, and she wanted to get this meat. She stood in front of the Raven and began to praise him: he is great and handsome, and he could become a king over the birds better than others, and he would, of course, if he also had a voice. The raven wanted to show her that he had a voice; he released the meat and croaked in a loud voice. And the fox ran up, grabbed the meat and said: "Oh, raven, if you also had a mind in your head, you would not need anything else to reign."
A fable is appropriate against a foolish person.
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781)
A Crow and a fox
The crow carried in its claws a piece of poisoned meat, which an angry gardener had planted for his neighbor's cats.
And as soon as she sat down on an old oak tree to eat her prey, a fox crept up and exclaimed, turning to her:
“Glory to you, O bird of Jupiter!”
Who do you take me for? the crow asked.
Who do I take you for? the fox retorted. “Are you not that noble eagle that every day descends from the hand of Zeus to this oak tree and brings food to me, poor thing?” Why are you pretending? Or do I not see in your victorious claws the alms I begged, which your master still sends to me with you?
The crow was surprised and sincerely glad that she was considered an eagle.
"There is no need to lead the fox out of this delusion," she thought.
And, filled with stupid generosity, she threw her prey to the fox and proudly flew away.
The fox, laughing, picked up the meat and ate it with malice. But soon her joy turned into a painful feeling; the poison began to act, and she died.
May you, damned hypocrites, get nothing but poison as a reward for your praise.

So the raven gave a lesson to the thief and the deceiver fox.
Whether it was so or not, but the crow built a nest for itself on an elm tree in the forest. She decided to breed the chicks, feed them, raise them and teach them to fly.
A little time passed, and the crow laid either five or six eggs. For twenty-one days she incubated and warmed the eggs, and on the twenty-second, the chicks hatched.
The crow has become up to its neck: every day - it has to fly to get food for the chicks. Soon the crows grew up, covered themselves with fluff and learned to chirp.
And a rogue fox lived nearby. She heard the squeak of the chicks and decided: “Here is food for me!” And she began to come up with all sorts of tricks, how to devour the chicks. She could not reach the nest - it was high. The fox ran around and found an old felt hat outside the village, and stole a blunt saw from the gardener.
And then one morning, while the crow had not yet flown out of the nest, the fox came up to the tree and let's saw it. The crow saw the fox from a distance, and when the creak of the saw was heard, it leaned out of the nest and asked:
- What does all of this mean?
- Never mind. I am a forester and I want to cut down this tree.
“Why, this tree is my nest,” says the crow, “and there are chicks in it.
And the fox replies:
- You were guilty, since you made a nest on my tree without asking and hatched chicks. Now I will cut down a tree, you will henceforth know that there is an owner everywhere.
The crow began to beg the fox:
“Wait a few days for the chicks to grow up.
"And I won't wait!"
The crow had no choice but to ask and beg:
"Don't make me unhappy, forester!" I have nowhere to go. Give me two or three days of respite, while the chicks learn to fly, then I will leave the tree.
“You won’t pity me with these speeches,” the fox says. “My tree!” When I want, then I'll take off.
They quarreled, quarreled, and finally decided that for a delay of two or three days, a raven would drop one chick to a fox.
She bitterly mourned her fate as a crow, but nevertheless threw off the chick. The rogue fox ate the little crow and went home - pleased that the trick was a success. The fox thinks that in this way she will contrive to eat all the birds of the forest.
The next day, a magpie neighbor flew to visit the crow. She saw that the crow was saddened, and asked what happened.
The crow told her about everything.
- Well, you're stupid! - judged the magpie. - The forester will never cut down a flowering tree. The next time he comes, show him to me. I'll see what kind of forester it is!
And the next day the fox again took the saw, put on a felt hat and went to the tree. The crow called to the magpie. She looked from the tree, looked at the forester carefully and said:
- Oh, stupid! After all, it's a fox. Do not be afraid of a felt hat and a blunt saw, this is not a forester. Fly to yourself and if she threatens to knock down a tree, answer: “Well, they drank!” Is it possible for a fox to knock down such a strong tree?!
The crow returned to the nest, and the fox already put the saw to the trunk. The crow looked down and asked:
— What are you doing?
- I'm a forester. I want to cut down this tree. And you better get out of here.
“My nest is here, and I won’t go anywhere,” answered the crow. “You are not a forester, and you can’t do anything. And if you want to fell a tree - well, they drank!
The fox sees, the crow has changed since yesterday. Yesterday she was crying and begging, but today she is insolent! The fox understood that someone taught the crow, and says:
- Okay, I'll leave you alone. Just tell me, who told you that I'm not a forester and I can't cut a tree?
The crow was stupid and gave out a magpie. “I’ll show this magpie,” the fox got angry, “so I’ll show that fairy tales about this will add up.”
Several days have passed. The fox climbed into a puddle and smeared himself all over with mud, and then went to the tree where the magpie's nest was, and stretched out nearby, as if lifeless.
Several times a magpie flew over it, the fox did not move. So the magpie thought: “It looks like the fox has died.” She flew up to the fox, pecked her first in the side. Lisa didn't blink. The magpie sat on her head, and the fox her tsap! He sees a magpie, it's bad, and he says:
- Do not touch me, fox, because I teach the birds of the forest mind-reason. If you want, I'll teach you. You will catch two birds every day. So I will teach that you will live in clover.
The fox thought, “Well, it’s not bad if I start catching a couple of crows every day.”
And the magpie continued:
- Okay, think about it. And if you decide, swear by the clear sun, the bright moon and the lord of the forest that you will not touch me. The fox opened its mouth to swear, and the magpie fluttered onto the tree!
So the magpie laughed at the stupid fox.
The next day she summoned forty of all the birds in the forest, and they conspired to destroy the villainous fox. We saw her on the shore of the lake, flew in a flock and let's peck. The fox was confused, fell into the lake and went to the bottom. And to this day, they say, she has not yet got out of the water.
