Once upon a time, they say, there were three brothers. The eldest is Yuhabi, the middle one is Yuskabi and the youngest is Yurkabi. The two older ones were smart, like a father, and the younger one, Yurkaby, was considered by everyone to be a fool. That was his name - uhmah Yurkabi. It means Yurkaby the Fool.
Once the brothers went to a distant forest to cut wood for the winter. Mother put them in a bast bag of bread and salt and various supplies.
So the brothers arrived in the forest and set to work, they cut down oak after oak, split it and put it in a pile.
The day has passed without being noticed. The evening is already coming. The brothers quit their jobs and started cooking. They prepared what they needed for the stew, missed it - but there was no fire: they forgot to take it with them! And they look here and there, and they look here and there - there is no fire anywhere. Can't find! They thought and thought and said:
We should go look for fire somewhere nearby!
The older brother, Yuhabi, went first. He walked for a long time. I saw a tall, tall oak tree. Yukhabi climbed to the top of the oak and began to look around. He sees: far, far ahead, where the dawn awakens and kisses the sun, a small light glows. Yuhabi descended from the oak and went in that direction. He walked for a long time. Finally he came to a forest clearing. A light is burning in a clearing, and an old man is sitting by the fire, himself with a fist, a beard - with a whole sazhen.
Yuhabi asks:
Grandpa, give me fire!
The old man looked at him and said:
Tell a fairy tale, sing a song and dance, then I will give fire to the ladies. Yuhabi says:
I can’t tell fairy tales, sing songs, or play dance games.
If so, there is no fire for you! - said the old man and disappeared from the eyes.
Yuhabi lowered his head and returned with nothing.
Now you go! he says to the middle brother.
Yuskabi got up and went. He reached a tall oak, climbed to the top and saw how ahead, where the dawn wakes up and kisses the sun, a light burns. Yuskabi descended from the tree, went. He came to the clearing, and there the old man was sitting, himself with a fist, a beard - with
Whole fathom. He began to ask the old man for fire. The old man says:
Tell a story, sing a song and dance, then I'll give it to you.
Yuskabi answered him:
I can't speak, sing, or dance. They didn't teach me.
If so, there is no fire for you! said the old man, and disappeared from sight.
Yuskabee lowered his head and returned with nothing.
Let the youngest go! The fool Yurkabi had to go.
Well, brothers, goodbye! My family, stay healthy! My hearts, stay alive! - he said and went along the path. Walked, walked, came to a tall, tall oak. Yurkabi climbed to the top of the oak tree and saw in the distance, where the dawn wakes up and kisses the sun, a light shines.
Yurkabi was delighted, he went rather to the light. He walked, walked - and went out into a forest clearing. In the clearing in front of the fire, an old man sits, himself with a fist, and a beard - with a whole sazhen.
Yurkabi greets him, sweet speeches to him says:
How do you live, can you, grandfather? May you be alive and well for another hundred years!
The old man says to him:
I live, my child, while I can! Where, tell me, are you heading, what are you looking for, my clear dove?
What am I looking for? Yes, that's my business, grandfather. We, three brothers, worked in the forest, worked all day, chopped a mountain of firewood. The evening came - they wanted to cook dinner, but there was no fire - they forgot at home. So I came to you for a light.
The old man listened and said:
Well, show me how you dance, how you sing and how you tell fairy tales, then you will leave with a twinkle.
I don't know how to dance and sing, - says Yurkabi, - but I'll tell a good fairy tale. Only such an agreement is that when I speak, you are silent, do not interrupt me. If you say even one word against, give me a hat full of money and fire-flames! The old man nodded his head, stroked his beard - agreed.
Yurkabi began to tell a fairy tale:
Once I sat astride a peg-mare, tucked an ax into my belt, and rode off into the woods. How much, how little, I drove, turned around, I look - my mare has no hind legs, chopped off their hatchet, and I only ride on the front ones. Do you hear, grandfather, is it so?
Hear, son, hear! So it was, child, so! - answers the old man.
I turned the horse, - continued Yurkabi, - and galloped off to look for its hind legs. I jump and jump and suddenly I see - the hind legs of my filly are walking in some kind of herd. I caught them and nailed them with oak nails to the place where they should be. Then he mounted again and rode off. How much, how little, I drove - I looked back and I see: from an oak nail in a horse, a sprout sprouted and how it began to grow, how it began to grow! He has risen to the very heavens! Without hesitation, I climbed this oak tree and reached the top. I look - just the door to heaven is wide open. My heart was beating, beating! I enter heaven. I see - there is a road, smooth as a river. I went down this road. I look and see - in the middle of the sky a red tree grows. And a golden bird sits on a tree. She has a necklace on her chest.
It sparkles, earrings burn in the ears, bracelets on the hands, shoes embroidered with corals on the legs, the tail of the bird shines and shines, open lips smile, eyes sparkle. “Well, I think, this bird is painfully good! That would be to catch her! I held out my hands to her, and the bird fluttered and disappeared. It became dark, like underground. I went back, but the road is not visible, and there are no traces. “Where, I think, is that door to heaven through which I entered? How can I find her? Just then a golden bird flew out and lit up the whole sky with its wings. I see - I'm standing right at the door through which I got to heaven. I looked down, but my mare was gone, she had gone. “Oh, I think, what should I do? How to get down to earth? At this time, a strong storm arose, a whirlwind rose to the heavens, and threw a whole armful of straw at my feet. From that straw I twisted myself a rope.
He tied one end to the edge of the sky, and threw the other down and began to descend to the ground along the rope. I went down for a long time. Finally I got to the end of the rope and I see that the rope does not reach the ground. If you throw yourself down, you will be crushed to death. I hung on to her. The wind-storm shook me, and threw me, and turned me back and forth! Finally my rope broke. The wind caught me and threw me into the vast sea. They carry water manure into the sea. There, grandfather, I look, they harnessed you and sent me to carry manure on you. The old man could not stand it and shouted:
What are you thinking? Yes, I've never been there!
And Yurkabi says to him:
And if you haven’t been, grandfather, then you should get a hat of money and a fire-flame from you! After all, that's our deal!
Nothing to do, grandfather gave Yurkabi a hundred rubles and gave a light to make a fire. Brought Yurkabi brothers and money and fire. They lit a fire and began to cook porridge.
A fairy tale on the other side - I'm on this side!
An older brother is like a sweet and sour candy that you never get enough of. Even if sometimes he makes you wince, you will never give up on him.
He teases and can drive you crazy, but he also loves and protects you. Therefore, we offer here a list of 20 benefits that will remind girls how good it is to have an older brother.
1. He taught you how to understand men.
Men are often difficult to deal with, but a girl who has an older brother can understand them better. From the moment a girl falls in love for the first time, her older brother helps her get through the many misunderstandings and trials that come at the beginning of a relationship.
If you have an older brother, his advice will help you avoid heartache in your relationship. Or at least he will help you get through it.
2. He taught you patience
As a younger sister, you are probably well aware of the pranks and games that boys are so attracted to. Therefore, it is the brother who needs to be thanked for teaching you how to be patient. Whether it's motherhood, parenting, or interacting with other men, you learn not to get angry over trifles or get upset too easily.
3. He showed you how to be tough.
Girls who have older brothers most often know how to be a good fighter. Naturally, in the figurative sense of the word. You have learned how to stand up for yourself and make yourself heard. You have learned not to let anyone push you around.
Fighting fights that you probably had with your brother as a child taught you to be strong and never give up. He may be stronger than you, but you know what cunning is.
4. He opened the sport for you
For many young girls, it was with their older brother that the obsession with sports or some sports teams began. If you're an avid sports fan, chances are you have a lot of memories of watching those games with your brother.
5. He taught you about competition.
Having an older brother is very good, because he was the one who taught you how to compete with the rest. When you start building your career, this skill will come in very handy.
The older brother gave you the understanding that there is strong competition in the world, and it is men who often win. He also helped you develop self-esteem and leadership qualities.
6. He taught me to control my emotions.
It's no secret that girls are more emotional than boys. But girls who grew up with boys have learned to keep their emotions in check. You have learned how to move on. And, most likely, having an older brother means that you have learned to play the role of comforter in difficult or tragic situations.
7. He showed you what a real knight is.
Big brothers teach their little sisters exactly how men should treat them. You, of course, noticed how he treats your mother or his girlfriend, and this has become a kind of standard for you. You will apply it to all the men who want to ask you out.
8. He will always protect you.
Sometimes a girl needs the protection of her older brother. Men always take on the role of protector when it comes to the welfare of their little sisters. So you don't have to worry about some creepy men as your brother will always take care of you.
9. He feels responsible
As a younger sister, you may not always realize that you are forcing your brother to be responsible for what he does. Since he knows that you are looking up to him, he most likely will not do all the stupid things that boys usually do. Perhaps only some of them.
10. You became his personal stylist
Most likely, you are responsible for how your older brother looks. It's no secret that men often don't know how to dress, so little sisters often take on the role of stylist for their older brother.
11. You taught him empathy
An older brother cannot be angry with his sister for a long time or be upset because of her. In this regard, you have taught him compassion and forgiveness since childhood. No matter what you do, big brother will always have a place in his heart for you.
12. You never need a man's help.
We all know that life can be too busy. Regardless of what exactly needs to be done, the fact that you have an older brother means that you will never need the help of a man. He will always be there to help you get through the tough stuff (in the truest sense of the word).
13. You will always have enough men to date.
Most girls want to get married. But finding a good person can be too difficult. If you have an older brother, then you will always have a steady stream of suitors. Some may be his friends, others may be those who want to get to know you through him. In any case, when it comes to dating, having an older brother can be very helpful.
14. You teach him to understand girls.
Men generally don't know much about girls. So you have to teach him how to talk, how to woo a girl. Whenever he has problems with his significant other, he will turn to you for advice. He has become a source of knowledge for you about other guys, so you should thank him in kind. So the older brother will learn to trust his little sister.
15. He taught you how to defend yourself properly.
In the modern world, it is especially important for girls to know how to protect themselves. Therefore, if you know how to use any weapon for self-defense, you learned about it from your older brother.
16. He took the brunt of parenting
It means that, perhaps, not entirely successful methods of raising your parents were tried on your brother. When you appeared, their methods became more refined and correct.
If you have an older brother, it means that your parents were not so strict with you.
17. He taught you what's cool
From a young age, a girl may turn to her older brother, who seems to have more experience and knowledge. For example, it can teach you how to navigate pop culture or world events. Therefore, an older brother is like a door to everything new in this world.
18. He can help you financially
Older brothers often take on the role of a father if they need to help their little sister. Including financially.
If he's older, he's most likely already working, so you can always ask him for money if mom and dad say no.
19. He taught you to laugh at yourself.
Life is serious enough, but it is the big brother who can teach you how to take it with humor. Guys often play tricks on each other. It is possible that you were part of these jokes. It taught you not to take life too seriously and to laugh at yourself.
20. You can always cry on his shoulder
Your brother, as a protector, will always listen to you when you need a vest to cry on. You can always count on him and you will not hear criticism or condemnation in your address. This is the glue that holds brother and sister together.
And Jacob settled in the land of Canaan, and Jacob had twelve sons. But most of all Yaakov loved Yosef, because Yosef was the first son of his beloved wife Rachel.
And so, when Yosef was seventeen years old, Yaakov gave him a beautiful multi-colored shirt as a sign that he - Yosef - was the most beloved son. And this shirt was long-sleeved, because Yosef did not work, but only sat with Yaakov and taught Torah. And little Benjamin was at home, next to them. And the ten elder brothers grazed the cattle.
From time to time, Yosef came to the brothers in the field and told them what he had learned from the Torah and how to live in the world. It is clear that this annoyed the brothers: Yosef, of course, was very smart, but is it really appropriate for a younger brother to teach his elders?
And Yosef also taunted his father against his brothers. As soon as it seems to him that the brothers are doing something wrong, he will immediately come to his father Jacob and tell him everything. Yosef, of course, did not do this out of malice, he just wanted Yaakov to talk to the brothers so that they would correct themselves. But it's still not good to slander! And the brothers were very offended by Yosef.
One day Yosef had a dream. He came to the brothers and said:
- Here I dreamed of the sun, the moon and eleven stars. And they all bow to me.
And Jacob said:
- What absurd dreams you dream about! After all, the sun is the father, the moon is the mother, and the eleven stars are your eleven brothers. So let me! After all, Rachel is dead. How can your dream come true, how can your mother bow to you?
And although Yaakov took Yosef's dreams very seriously, he scolded him on purpose so that the smaller brothers would be offended by Yosef. But the brothers were completely upset. They thought: “Our great-grandfather had two sons, Yitzhak and Yishmael. Yitzhak was the chief son, and Abraham drove Ishmael into the desert. Grandpa Yitzhak also had two sons, our father Yaakov and his brother Esav. "we didn't get anything. Now we see that Yosef is the beloved son of our father Yaakov. He alone was given a multi-colored shirt by his father - it must be that his father will give him alone and the blessing and the Holy Land of Canaan! But our father will probably drive us away ...
And the brothers could not even talk to Yosef, and they did not want to greet him. And the gloomy brothers walked.
The main characters of the fairy tale by E. Schwartz "Two Brothers" are the children of the forester. The names of the brothers were Senior and Junior. The oldest was twelve years old, and the youngest was only five. Quarrels often broke out between the brothers, and this made the father very upset. One day, on New Year's Eve, the boys' parents went shopping for three days in the city. The forester took a promise from the Elder that he would take care of the Younger and would not quarrel with him. Parents left food for their sons for three days, firewood and matches.
The first two days went well, but on the third day, the younger brother, who was bored, asked the older brother to play with him. The older one was reading a book at that time, he shouted at the younger one and put him out on the street, after which he sat down to read again. When he remembered his brother, it was already evening. The elder jumped out of the house and began to look for the Younger, but he was nowhere to be found.
When the parents returned, the father told the Elder to leave the house and not dare to return until he found the Younger. The elder went in search. He went so far from home that he reached the snow-capped mountains. The boy ended up in a very strange place where the trees and the ground were transparent, like ice. Here he met an old man whose name was Great-Grandfather Frost. It was the father of Santa Claus.
Great-grandfather Frost brought the Elder to his ice house and said that the boy would stay here forever. He added that his brother, Junior, is also here. Great-Grandfather Frost forced Senior to freeze birds and animals in a huge ice oven.
But the boy from the first day of captivity began to think about how he could free his brother and return home. At the same time, if possible, he saved some birds and animals from freezing, arranging for them secret shelters in an ice house.
Senior constantly tried to open the ice door, behind which Junior was, but nothing came of it. In the farm of Great-Grandfather Frost, he found an ax and tried to cut down the ice door with it, but the ice did not give in. Then Senior remembered that he had matches in his pocket. He reached the living forest and brought firewood. The boy tried to melt the door with a fire, but Great-Grandfather Frost caught him doing this and threatened to freeze him. The old man took the ax from the boy and went to bed.
While he was sleeping, the animals and birds he had saved came to the aid of the Elder. They pulled out ice keys from the sleeping Great-Grandfather Frost, and they managed to open the door. Outside the door, Senior saw Junior turned into an ice statue. He took his younger brother in his arms and ran away from the ice house.
Great-grandfather Frost tried to catch up with him, but he was prevented from doing so by hares, who bravely rushed right under the old man's feet. The elder managed to break away from the chase, but at some point he fell, and the younger's body broke into small pieces.
And the animals again rescued by the Elder came to his aid. They collected all the pieces and glued them together with birch sap. After that, the animals began to warm the Younger with their warmth until the sun rose. From the warmth of the sun, Junior began to revive, and soon turned from an ice statue into an ordinary sleeping boy. When he woke up, he did not remember what had happened to him. The brothers returned home and since then lived peacefully and happily.
This is the summary of the story.
The main idea of Schwartz's fairy tale "Two Brothers" is that there should be no quarrels and quarrels between relatives. The elders should take care of the younger ones, and the younger ones should obey the elders.
Schwartz's fairy tale teaches you to be responsible and caring, and always keep your promises.
The fairy tale teaches to treat life wisely.
In the fairy tale by E. Schwartz “Two Brothers”, I liked the Elder, who managed to find and free the Younger from the ice captivity. The eldest not only saved his brother, but also helped save the lives of many birds and animals.
What proverbs are suitable for the fairy tale "Two brothers"?
Brotherly love is better than stone walls.
Whoever is assigned is responsible.
Frost and iron tears, and on the fly beats the bird.
The frost of love does not chill.
Once upon a time, they say, there were three brothers. The eldest is Yuhabi, the middle one is Yuskabi, and the youngest is Yurkabi. The two older ones were smart, like a father, and the younger one, Yurkaby, was considered by everyone to be a fool. That's what they called him - uhmah Yurkabi. It means Yurkaby the Fool.
Once the brothers went to a distant forest to cut wood for the winter. Mother put them in a bast bag of bread and salt and various supplies.
So the brothers arrived in the forest and set to work, they cut down oak after oak, split it and put it in a pile.
The day has passed without being noticed. The evening is already coming. The brothers quit their jobs and started cooking. They prepared what they needed for the stew, missed it - but there was no fire: they forgot to take it with them! And here and there they look, and here and there they search - there is no fire anywhere. Can't find! They thought and thought and said:
“We should go look for fire somewhere nearby!”
The older brother, Yuhabi, went first. He walked for a long time. I saw a tall, tall oak tree. Yukhabi climbed to the top of the oak and began to look around. He sees: far, far ahead, where the dawn awakens and kisses the sun, a small light glows. Yuhabi descended from the oak and went in that direction. He walked for a long time. Finally he came to a forest clearing. A light is burning in a clearing, and an old man is sitting by the fire, himself with a fist, a beard - with a whole fathom.
Yuhabi asks:
- Grandfather, give fire!
The old man looked at him and said:
- Tell a fairy tale, sing a song and dance, then I will give fire to the ladies. Yuhabi says:
- I can’t tell a fairy tale, or sing songs, or dance-games, I don’t know how.
- If so, there is no fire for you! said the old man, and disappeared from sight.
Yuhabi lowered his head and returned with nothing.
- You now go! he says to the middle brother.
Yuskabi got up and went. He reached a tall oak, climbed to the top and saw how ahead, where the dawn wakes up and kisses the sun, a light burns. Yuskabi descended from the tree, went. He came to the clearing, and there the old man was sitting, himself with a fist, a beard - with a whole sazhen. He began to ask the old man for fire. The old man says:
- Tell a story, sing a song and dance, then I'll give it to you.
Yuskabi answered him:
I can't speak, sing, or dance. They didn't teach me.
- If so, there is no fire for you! said the old man, and disappeared from sight.
Yuskabee lowered his head and returned with nothing.
Let the youngest go! The fool Yurkabi had to go.
- Well, brothers, goodbye! My family, stay healthy! My hearts, stay alive! he said and walked down the path. Walked, walked, came to a tall, tall oak. Yurkabi climbed to the top of the oak tree and saw in the distance, where the dawn wakes up and kisses the sun, a light shines.
Yurkabi was delighted, he went rather to the light. He walked and walked - and came out into a forest clearing. In the clearing in front of the fire, an old man sits, himself with a fist, and a beard - with a whole fathom.
Yurkabi greets him, sweet speeches to him says:
- How do you live, can you, grandfather? May you be alive and well for another hundred years!
The old man says to him:
- I live, my child, while I can! Where, tell me, are you heading, what are you looking for, my clear dove?
- What am I looking for? Yes, that's my business, grandfather. We, three brothers, worked in the forest, worked all day, chopped a mountain of firewood. The evening came - they wanted to cook dinner, but there was no fire - they forgot at home. So I came to you for a light.
The old man listened and said:
- Well, show me how you dance, how you sing and how you tell fairy tales, then you will leave with a twinkle.
“I don’t know how to dance and sing,” says Yurkabi, “but I’ll tell you a good story.” Only such an agreement is that when I speak, you are silent, do not interrupt me. If you say even one word against, give me a hat full of money and fire-flames! The old man nodded his head, stroked his beard and agreed.
Yurkabi began to tell a fairy tale:
- Once I sat astride a peg-mare, stuck an hatchet in my belt and rode into the forest. How much, how little, I drove, turned around, I look - my mare has no hind legs, chopped them off with a hatchet, and I only ride on the front ones. Do you hear, grandfather, is it so?
“I hear, son, I hear!” So it was, child, so! the old man answers.
“I turned the horse around,” continued Yurkaby, “and galloped off to look for its hind legs. I gallop and jump and suddenly I see - the hind legs of my filly are walking in some kind of herd. I caught them and nailed them with oak nails to the place where they should be. Then he mounted again and rode off. How much, how little, I drove - I looked back and I see: from an oak nail in a horse, a sprout sprouted and how it began to grow, how it began to grow! He has risen to the very heavens! Without hesitation, I climbed this oak tree and reached the top. I look - just the door to heaven is wide open. My heart was beating, beating! I enter heaven. I see the road going, smooth as a river. I went down this road. I look and see a red tree growing in the middle of the sky. And a golden bird sits on a tree. A necklace sparkles on her chest, earrings burn in her ears, bracelets on her hands, shoes embroidered with coral on her feet, the bird’s tail shines and shines, open lips smile, eyes sparkle. “Well,” I think, “this bird is painfully good! That would be to catch her! I held out my hands to her, and the bird fluttered and disappeared. It became dark, like underground. I went back, but the road is not visible, and there are no traces. “Where, I think, is that door to heaven through which I entered? How can I find her? Just then a golden bird flew out and lit up the whole sky with its wings. I see - I'm standing right at the door through which I got to heaven. I looked down, but my mare was gone, she had gone. “Oh, I think, what should I do? How to get down to earth? At this time, a strong storm arose, a whirlwind rose to the heavens, and threw a whole armful of straw at my feet. From that straw I twisted myself a rope.
He tied one end to the edge of the sky, and threw the other down and began to descend to the ground along the rope. I went down for a long time. Finally I got to the end of the rope and I see that the rope does not reach the ground. If you throw yourself down, you will be crushed to death. I hung on to her. The wind-storm shook me, and threw me, and turned me back and forth! Finally my rope broke. The wind caught me and threw me into the vast sea. They carry water manure into the sea. There, grandfather, I look, they harnessed you and sent me to carry manure on you. The old man could not stand it and shouted:
— What are you thinking? Yes, I've never been there!
And Yurkabi says to him:
“And if you haven’t been, grandfather, then you should get a hat of money and a fire-flame from you!” After all, that's our deal!
Nothing to do, grandfather gave Yurkabi a hundred rubles and gave a light to make a fire. Brought Yurkabi brothers and money and fire. They lit a fire and began to cook porridge.
A fairy tale on the other side - I'm on this side!
