Another Russian folk tale that our parents had to read to us “to the core” in childhood - turnip. And later, when I was reading fairy tales to my children before bed, when asked: “What are we going to read about today?” the answer was often a joyful answer: “about the turnip!” Have you ever had this happen? Well, that means there will be more! 🙂

And yet, it seems, there is no special space left for creativity. But still I tried to somehow revive the classic plot, to introduce something new into it.

Children were always delighted by such small finds; apparently, they were also interested in finding something new in a familiar text every time. So you, when you read a fairy tale about a turnip to your children, also try to somehow revive and complement the canonical plot.

Believe me, your kids will love it! And this is not at all as difficult as it seems at first glance! 🙂 Now I’ll prove it!

By the way, did you know that the Russian folk tale about the turnip was written down by folklore collector A.N. Afanasyev in Arkhangelsk province? And in the folklore version, the legs are involved in pulling out the turnip: “Another leg came; the other leg behind the leg; leg for the bitch, bitch for the granddaughter, granddaughter for the grandmother, grandmother for the grandfather, they pull and pull, they can’t pull it out!” And only with the arrival of the fifth leg is it possible to defeat the turnip.

There are several parodies and variants based on the plot of the fairy tale “Turnip”. For example, A.P. wrote on the topic of Turnips. Chekhov, V. Kataev, Kir Bulchev, and even.

Today we will not read all the versions of the fairy tale about the turnip, but will limit ourselves to two: the classic one, and as presented by V. Dahl. In which, by the way, the role of the savior mouse is played by... a neighbor!!! Well, now let’s read the fairy tale about the turnip and try to diversify the text.

Russian folk tale:

Once upon a time there lived a grandfather and a woman in a village. One spring my grandfather planted a turnip and said:
- Grow, turnip, grow sweet! Grow, turnip, grow strong!

How much time has passed, but the turnip has grown large, strong, juicy and folded. The grandfather saw how big the turnip had grown, he was delighted, he went to pick the turnip, but he couldn’t pull it out!

Then the grandfather called the grandmother for help. The grandmother came and grabbed hold of the grandfather.

Then the grandmother called her granddaughter.

Well, now the same fairy tale "TURNIP", but in a retelling V.I. Dalia.

There lived an old man and an old woman, and a third granddaughter; spring has come, the snow has melted; So the old woman says: it’s time to dig the garden; “It’s probably time,” the old man said, sharpened his spade and went into the garden.

He dug and dug, went through all the earth little by little and fluffed up the ridges amazingly; The old woman praised the ridge and sowed turnips.

The turnip has sprouted, it is growing and green and curly, the tops are spreading along the ground, and under the ground the yellow turnip is sulking, rushing up, climbing out of the ground.

What a turnip! say the neighbors, looking through the fence! And grandfather and grandmother and their granddaughter rejoice and say: we will have something to bake and steam during the fast!

Then the Assumption Fast came, which is called Mistresses, grandfather wanted to eat the boy’s turnips, he went into the garden, grabbed the turnips by the tops, and well, pulled; pulls, pulls, cannot pull; he shouted to the old woman, the old woman came, grabbed her grandfather and pulled; they pull, they pull together, but they cannot pull the turnips; The granddaughter came, grabbed her grandmother, and the three of them pulled; They pull and pull the turnip, but they cannot pull it out.

The mongrel bug came running, clung to her granddaughter, and everyone was pulling and pulling, but they couldn’t pull out the turnips! The old man is out of breath, the old woman is coughing, the granddaughter is crying, the bug is barking; a neighbor came running, grabbed the bug by the tail, the bug by the granddaughter, the granddaughter by the grandmother, the grandmother by the grandfather, the grandfather by the turnip, they pulled and pulled, but they couldn’t pull it out!

They pulled and pulled, and when the tops broke, they all fell backwards: grandfather on grandmother, grandmother on granddaughter, granddaughter on the bug, bug on the neighbor, and the neighbor on the ground.

Grandma Ah! the grandfather waves his hands, the granddaughter cries, the bug barks, the neighbor rubs the back of his head, and the turnip, as if nothing had happened, sits in the ground! The neighbor scratched himself and said: oh grandfather, the beard grew but he couldn’t stand it; Give us a spade, let's dig it out of the ground!

Then the old man and the old woman guessed, grabbed a spade and, well, picked the turnips; they dug up, took out, shook, but the turnips were such that they wouldn’t fit into any pot; what to do? The old woman took it, put it in a frying pan, baked it, and she and her neighbor ate a quarter of it, and gave the skins to the bug. That's the whole fairy tale, you can't say more.

In this regard, one can imagine the grandfather as one of the community members who decided to do the whole job alone. It is commendable, of course, but without the rest of the members, who are represented by the grandmother, granddaughter and animals, nothing worked out for him, and could not work out. In a community, even the smallest and weakest member is useful if he makes an effort and tries to do at least something.

Pictures

Oddly enough, even the most simple tale can inspire artists, such as "Turnip". When the fairy tale "Turnip" was first published, it did not yet contain pictures, which is not surprising, because at that time it was a collection of stories for adults. However, later the fairy tale “Turnip” found a new lease of life. Pictures for the fairy tale were first created by Elizaveta Merkulovna Bem; they were published in 1881. More precisely, these were not pictures, but silhouettes. In the first editions, "Turnip" consisted of 8 sheets of silhouettes, and only one page with the text of the fairy tale "Turnip". The pictures were later shortened and the entire tale began to be published on one sheet. From the silhouettes of E.M. Bem refused only in 1946. Thus, for more than half a century, the fairy tale was published only with the same pictures.

Today, new drawings for fairy tales are created in almost every book, so children and parents have a choice. When cartoons began to be made in the country, films based on folk tales were also made.

It’s not bad if the role of the mouse that solves the whole problem goes to the manager or the hero of the occasion. Seven players-characters from the fairy tale Repka take part. The presenter distributes roles. The game is suitable for both children and adults. You can choose the characters' replicas - which ones you like best. or come up with your own.

Leading: Then the mouse got angry, pushed the people away, grabbed the tops tightly and took out the root vegetable! Yes, apparently, by all accounts, this is not an ordinary mouse!
Mouse: It's okay, are you gored by a mosquito?
Turnip: Either way, that's what I am...
(Turnip jumps out and falls. Wiping away tears, Turnip hits the floor with his hat.)

You can come up with a fine as a punishment for those who go astray, for example, jump 5 times (for children) or drink a glass (for adults).

The fairy tale "Turnip - 2" - in a new way

Second tale the more difficult it is, that in addition to words, each actor needs to make appropriate movements. Therefore, before the fairy tale, right in front of the audience, you can rehearse.

Roles and their description:
turnip- at every mention of it, he raises his hands above his head like a ring and says: "Both-on."
Grandfather- rubs his hands and says: “Well, well.”
Grandma- waves his fist at grandfather and says: "I would kill".
Granddaughter- He rests his hands on his sides and says in a languid voice: "I'm ready".
Bug- wags his tail - "Woof-woof."
Cat- licks himself with his tongue - “Pssh-meow.”
Mouse- hides his ears, covering them with his palms - “Pee-pee-scat.”
Sun— stands on a chair and looks, and as the story progresses, he moves to the other side of the “stage.”

Fairy tales can be played in the same way "Teremok", "Kolobok" etc.

If you wish, you can make masks. Print on a color printer and cut out, enlarging the picture to the desired size - depending on who the masks are needed for (children or adults).
