Presentation on the theme of a seven-year-old daughter. Literary reading lesson "Russian folk household tale with riddles" Seven-year-old daughter

Two brothers rode: one poor, the other rich, eminent. Both have a horse - the poor mare, the rich gelding. They stopped for the night nearby. The poor mare brought a foal at night; the foal rolled under the rich man's cart. He wakes up the poor in the morning:

- Get up, brother! My cart gave birth to a foal at night.

The brother stands up and says:
- How can a cart give birth to a foal? This is my mare brought.

What's the contradiction guys?

Rich says:
- If your mare brought, the foal would be near!

They argued and went to the authorities. The rich man endowed the judges with money, while the poor man justified himself with words.

It came down to the king himself. He ordered to call both brothers and asked them four riddles:

- What is the strongest and fastest thing in the world, what is the fattest thing in the world, what is the softest thing in the world, and what is the cutest thing in the whole world?

And he gave them a period of three days: “Come to the fourth, give an answer!”

The rich man thought and thought, remembered his godfather and went to her to ask for advice. She put him at the table, began to treat him, and she herself asks:

- Why so sad, kumanek?
- The sovereign asked me four riddles, and set a deadline of only three days.
- What is it, tell me.
- And here's what, godfather: the first riddle: what is the strongest and fastest thing in the world?
- What a mystery! My husband has a brown mare; no faster! If you hit with a whip, the hare will catch up.
- The second riddle: what is fatter in the world?
- We have another year, the pockmarked boar feeds; He became so fat that he could not rise to his feet!
- The third riddle: what is the softest thing in the world?
- A well-known case - a down jacket, you can’t imagine softer!
- The fourth riddle: what is the cutest thing in the world?
- The sweetest of all granddaughters is Ivanushka!
- Well, thank you, godfather! I taught the mind, I will not forget you forever.

And the poor brother burst into bitter tears and went home. His seven-year-old daughter meets him (there was only one family that had a daughter):

- What are you, father, sighing and shedding tears?
How can I not sigh, how can I not shed tears? The king gave me four riddles that I will never solve in my life.
Tell me what riddles.
- But what, daughter: what is stronger and faster than everything in the world, what is fatter, what is softer and what is cutest of all?
- Go, father, and tell the king: the strongest and fastest of all is the wind, the fattest of all is the earth: whatever grows, whatever lives, the earth nourishes! The softest of all is the hand: on which a person does not lie down, but puts his hand under his head; and there is nothing sweeter than sleep!

Both brothers came to the king, both rich and poor. The king listened to them and asked the poor:
Did you come by yourself or who taught you?
The poor man answers:
- Your royal! I have a seven-year-old daughter, she taught me.
- When your daughter is wise, here is a silk thread for her; let him weave a patterned towel for me in the morning.

Guys, how to solve this problem?
The man took a silk thread, comes home sad and sad.
- Our trouble! daughters says. - The king ordered to weave a towel from this thread.
- Don't freak out, daddy! - answered the seven-year-old; she broke off a twig from, gives it to her father and punishes: - Go to the king, tell him to find the master who would make a cross from this twig: it would be something to weave a towel on!

Presentation: vocabulary work.

What the hell is this girl talking about? Did she set a feasible task for the king?

The man reported this to the king. The king gives him a hundred and fifty eggs.
“Give it back,” he says, “to your daughter; let him bring me a hundred and fifty chickens by tomorrow.

How many days does the chick hatch? (21) But what if the chickens should be in the morning?

The peasant returned home even more abruptly, even sadder:
- Oh, daughter! From one misfortune you will dodge - another will be imposed!
- Don't freak out, daddy! answered the seven year old. She baked eggs and hid them for lunch and dinner, and sends her father to the king:
“Tell him that chickens need one-day millet for food: in one day the field would be plowed, and millet sown, harvested and threshed. Our chickens will not peck at another millet.

How can the king get out of this situation? Come up with your own puzzle for him.
The king listened and said:
- When your daughter is wise, let her come to me in the morning - not on foot, not on a horse, not naked, not dressed, not with a present, not without a gift.

Guys, how to answer these tasks, discuss in pairs and express your assumptions.
“Well,” the peasant thinks, even his daughter will not solve such a cunning problem, it’s time to completely disappear!
“Don’t fret, father,” the seven-year-old daughter told him, “go to the hunters and buy me a live hare and a live quail.”
Her father went and bought her a hare and a quail.
The next day, in the morning, the seven-year-old threw off all her clothes, put on a net, and took a quail in her hands, mounted a hare and rode to the palace.
The king meets her at the gate. She bowed to the king:
"Here's a present for you, sir!" - gives him a quail.
The king extended his hand, the quail fluttered - and flew away!
- Well, - says the king, - as ordered, so she did. Tell me now: your father is poor, so what do you feed on?
- My father catches fish on a dry shore, he does not set traps in the water; and I wear a fish under my hem and cook my fish soup.
- What are you, stupid! When did the fish live on the dry shore? Fish swim in the water!
— Are you smart? When have you seen a cart bring a foal? Not a cart, a mare will give birth!

The king ordered that the foal be given to the poor peasant, and his daughter was taken to him; when the seven-year-old grew up, he married her, and she became queen.

2 The old man and the old woman had two daughters. The eldest will not sit idle for a minute. And for what she does not undertake, everything comes out with her, every business is argued. And the younger daughter was a sloth. She didn’t want to do anything, and besides, she was arrogant and unfriendly. Whatever he does, everything is reluctantly and somehow. And the people called the elder Radivaya, and the smaller - Lazy. And so it went - Radivaya and Lazy (“About Lazy and Radivaya” Russian folk tale)

And I rode after them on a golden horse

Yes, I collected these fairy tales in a bag.

("Tsarevich Nekhiter-Nemuder" Russian folk tale proverb)

Acquaintance with the biographical data of the author

A long time ago (381 years ago) in one country, it is called France, there lived five brothers. They were so similar to each other that they even wrote in the same handwriting. One of the brothers was named Charles Perrault. His childhood was prosperous. Like other sons, he was beautifully dressed, taken in a carriage, and given toys. The brothers have grown up. Everyone went about his business, and Charles Perrault devoted himself to state affairs. Many years later. One winter evening, 68-year-old Sh.P. sat by the fireplace. Suddenly he remembered the nurse and her amazing stories. He so wanted to write them down that he immediately sat down at the table. Fairy tales were written so quickly, as if a fairy was standing behind her and whispering words. For several days Sh.P. did not leave the table, remembering more and more nanny's tales. Like a real storyteller, Sh.P. made fairy tales very modern: want to know what fashion was more than 300 years ago? Read the fairy tale "Cinderella": the sisters, going to the ball, dress in the latest fashion. So the fairy tales were born, which were included in the collection "Tales of Mother Goose".

Charles Perrault was born in France in 1628.

Seven-year-old daughter
Russian folktale

Two brothers were traveling: one poor, the other rich. Both have horses - the poor mare, the rich gelding. They stopped for the night nearby. The poor mare brought a foal at night; the foal rolled under the rich man's cart. He wakes up the poor in the morning:

Get up brother! My cart gave birth to a foal at night.

The brother stands up and says:

How can a cart give birth to a foal? This is my mare brought. Rich says:

If your mare brought, the foal would be near her!

They argued and went to the authorities. The rich gave the judges money, and the poor justified themselves with words.

It came down to the king himself. He ordered to call both brothers and asked them four riddles:

What is the strongest and fastest thing in the world? What is the fattest thing in the world? What is the softest thing? And what's the sweetest thing? And gave them a period of three days:

Come to the fourth, give the answer!

The rich man thought and thought, remembered his godfather and went to her to ask for advice.

She put him at the table, began to treat him, and she herself asks:

What is so sad, kumanek?

Yes, the sovereign asked me four riddles, and set a deadline of only three days.

What is it, tell me.

But what, godfather! The first riddle: what is the strongest and fastest thing in the world?

What a riddle! My husband has a brown mare; no faster! If you hit with a whip, the hare will catch up.

The second riddle: what is fatter in the world?

We have another year the pockmarked hog feeds; He became so fat that he could not rise to his feet!

The third riddle: what is the softest thing in the world?

A well-known case is a down jacket, you can’t imagine softer!

The fourth riddle: what is the sweetest thing in the world?

Dearest of all granddaughters Ivanushka!

Well, thank you, godfather! I taught the mind, I will not forget you forever.

And the poor brother burst into bitter tears and went home. Meets his seven-year-old daughter:

What are you sighing about, father, and shedding tears?

How can I not sigh, how can I not shed tears? The king gave me four riddles that I will never solve in my life.

Tell me what riddles.

But what, daughter: what is the strongest and fastest in the world, what is the fattest, what is the softest and what is the cutest?

Go, father, and tell the king: the strongest and fastest is the wind, the fattest is the earth: whatever grows, whatever lives, the earth nourishes! The softest of all is the hand: on which a person does not lie down, but puts his hand under his head; and there is nothing sweeter than sleep!

Both brothers came to the king - both the rich and the poor. The king listened to them and asked the poor:

Did you come by yourself or who taught you? The poor man answers:

Your royal majesty! I have a seven-year-old daughter, she taught me.

When your daughter is wise, here is a silk thread for her; let him weave a patterned towel for me in the morning.

The peasant took a silk thread, comes home sad and sad.

Our trouble! - says the daughter. - The king ordered to weave a towel from this thread.

Don't freak out, daddy! - answered the seven-year-old; she broke off a twig from a broom, gives it to her father and punishes: - Go to the king, tell him to find the master who would make a cross from this twig: it would be something to weave a towel on!

The man reported this to the king. The king gives him a hundred and fifty eggs.

Give, he says, to your daughter; let him bring me a hundred and fifty chickens by tomorrow.

The peasant returned home even more abruptly, even sadder:

Ah, daughter! You will dodge one trouble - another will be imposed!

Don't freak out, daddy! - answered the seven-year-old. She baked eggs and hid them for lunch and dinner, and sends her father to the king:

Tell him that the chickens need one-day millet for food: in one day the field would be plowed, and millet sown, harvested and threshed. Our chickens will not peck at another millet.

The king listened and said:

When your daughter is wise, let her come to me in the morning - neither on foot, nor on a horse, nor naked, nor dressed, nor with a present, nor without a present.

“Well,” the peasant thinks, “even a daughter will not solve such a cunning problem; it’s completely gone!”

Don't freak out, daddy! - the seven-year-old daughter told him. - Go to the hunters and buy me a live hare and a live quail.

Her father went and bought her a hare and a quail.

The next day, in the morning, the seven-year-old threw off all her clothes, put on a net, and took a quail in her hands, mounted a hare and rode to the palace.

The king meets her at the gate. She bowed to the king.

Here's a present for you, sir! - and gives him a quail.

The king stretched out his hand, the quail fluttered - and flew away!

Well, - says the king, - as ordered, so done. Tell me now: after all, your father is poor, what do you feed on?

My father catches fish on a dry shore, he doesn’t set traps in the water, but I wear fish under my hem and cook my fish soup.

What are you, stupid, when a fish lives on a dry shore? Fish swim in the water!

And you are smart! When has it been seen that a cart of a colt has been brought?

The king ordered that the foal be given to the poor peasant, and his daughter was taken to live with him. When the seven-year-old grew up, he married her, and she became queen.
