Moidodyr.

The blanket escaped. The sheet took off in the air. And the pillow fled from me like a frog.

I want to put a candle inside the stove! I want to read that book, so I’m going to run and skip under the bed!

I dash to the samovar because I want to drink some tea. However, my potbellied one fled, as though fleeing a fire.

Oh my God, what took place? Why was everything rushing the wheel and spinning?

Everything spins and rushes head over heels: irons after boots, boots after pies, pies after irons, poker after sash.

Abruptly, the washbasin emerges from mom’s bedroom, gaunt and limp, and shakes his head:

"You filthy, unwashed piglet, you nasty one! As dark as a chimney sweeper, you are. Consider the following about yourself: You have a stain beneath your nose, shoe polish on your neck, and hands so dexterous that even your pants have escaped from you.

Little mice, kittens, ducklings, bugs, and spiders all wash themselves in the early morning hours of dawn. They fled from the filthy and their shoes and stockings, and you are the only one who hasn’t cleaned yourself.

I am the Great Washbasin, the well-known Moidodyr, the Commander of Washcloths and the Chief of Washbasins!

If I stamp my foot, I will summon my soldiers. There will be a flurry of washbasins in this room, and they will all howl, bark, and stamp their feet. The unwashed person will receive a dressing down. He was thrown headfirst into the wash and the sink."

With a strike on the copper basin, he exclaimed, "Kara-baras!" The brushes instantly started to scrub me, crackling like rattles while they worked, saying:

"We wash and wash the chimney sweep! It’s so clean! A chimney sweep will be present. Everything will be spotless.

Subsequently, the soap leaped to its feet, seized the hair, wriggled and soaked, and released a wasp-like sting.

I raced from the insane washcloth like I would have from sticks. And she does, does follow me along Sennaya and Sadovaya.

She rushes after me and bites like a she-wolf. I went to the Tauride Garden and leaped over the fence.

All of a sudden, my dear Crocodile, my good. Alongside Kokosha and Totosha, he He proceeded down the alley. And he swallowed a washcloth that looked like a jackdaw.

Subsequently, he growls and stamps his feet at me, saying, "Go home and wash your face, or else I’ll attack and trample you and swallow you!" He states.

I ran to the washbasin once more as I dashed down the street. Using soap Washing my face repeatedly with soap allowed me to remove the ink and polish from my naked face.

And immediately the pants, the pants Leaped into my grasp. And then a pie with the words, "Come on, eat me, my friend!" And after that, a sandwich: Leaped up and landed squarely in the mouth!

And now the book appears. When the notebook was returned, grammar and arithmetic began to dance.

This is the Head of Washbasins and the Commander of Washcloths, the Great Washbasin and the renowned Moidodyr. Approach me while dancing. And he said, kissing:

"I praise you now, and I love you now! At last, you, filthy one, made Moydodyr happy!"

It is imperative that you wash. During the day and at night, And a disgrace and shame to dirty chimney sweepers! Disgrace and embarrassment!

Long live scented soap, a thick comb, a fluffy towel, and tooth powder!

Let’s bathe, dive, tumble, and wash together. In a washbowl, a trough, or a tub, Eternal glory to water, wherever it may be found—in a river, stream, ocean, sauna, bath, or anywhere else!

Fly – Tsokotukha.

Fly, Fly, Gilded belly, Tsokotukha! The fly found money as it flew across the field. The fly purchased a samovar at the market:

"Come in, I’ll treat you to tea, cockroaches!" The cockroaches bolted into action. Every glass was filled with alcohol.

And three cups of bugs Alongside a pretzel and milk: Fly-Tsokotukha, the girl, has a birthday today!

When Fleas arrived at Fly, they carried her boots, which weren’t just any boots—they had golden clasps.

Who arrived at Fly-Tsokotukha brought honey, Fly-Grandma-bee?

Beautiful as a butterfly. Consume jam! Or you find Our treat offensive?"

Abruptly, an elderly man Spider Our Fly in the corner Dragged – Desires to murder the impoverished, destroy Tsokotukha!

"Hello visitors, please assist! Take down the malevolent spider! "Don’t leave me in my last hour!" I fed and hydrated you.

However, the worms and bugs Were terrified, dispersed throughout the cracks and corners: Cockroaches beneath couches, bugs beneath benches, and bugs beneath beds are not interested in fighting! And nobody is even going to move. Refuses to budge: Disappear, my dear! Happy birthday!

And the grasshopper—oh, how sweet— Well, leap, jump, jump, jump like a little man! In the shadows, Silence beneath the bridge!

The antagonist, however, is not playing around. He uses ropes to cinch the Fly’s arms and legs, then he drives his razor-sharp teeth right into her heart and draws blood. The villain grins while remaining silent as the fly screams and clenches his teeth.

Suddenly, a small mosquito appears out of nowhere, carrying a tiny flashlight that is on fire. "Where is the bad guy and the murderer located? His claws don’t scare me at all!" He flies up to the spider and draws his sword. And He chops off his head at full gallop!

"I hacked the villain, I set you free, and now, my dear girl, I want to marry you!" he says, grabbing the fly by the hand and guiding it to the window.

Numerous bugs are present. From beneath the bench, a crawling voice said, "Glory, glory to the Mosquito – To the Winner!"

It became so much fun and delicious when fireflies started running and lit up the lights!

Hello, velocipedes Let’s dance as we run along the path and call the musicians!

The musicians rushed forward and began striking the drums. Boom, boom, boom, and more! The Mosquito and the Fly dance. And Bug Boots stomp, stomp, after her!

Small insects accompanied by worms and moths. And horned beetles, wealthy men, dancing with butterflies while waving their hats. Tara-ra, tara-ra, The midges performed a dance.

The fly is getting married while everyone is having a good time. To the bold, intrepid Young Mosquito!

Ant, Ant! He doesn’t take his bast shoes lightly. – Leaping alongside the Ant and giving the tiny insects a wink, saying, "You little bugs, You are cuties, Tara-tara-tara-tara-cockroaches!"

There will be midges; boots are squeaking, heels are knocking. Having fun right up until dawn: The Fly-Tsokotukha girl’s birthday is today!

Cockroach.

Bicycles carrying bears were seen. And a cat facing backwards behind them.

And mosquitoes on a balloon behind him. And crayfish on a lazy dog behind them.

Wolves on a horse. A car full of lions. Rats in a trolley. a toad using a broom. Laughing while riding, gnawing on gingerbread.

Abruptly through the portal Ta-ra-kan, a terrifying giant with red hair and a mustache! One word for it: cockroaches! His mustache moves as he screams and growls, saying, "Wait, don’t rush, I will swallow you in a moment!" I refuse to forgive, I will swallow, I will swallow."

The animals shook and went unconscious. The wolves devoured one another because they were afraid. The toad was swallowed by the wretched crocodile. The elephant then sat on the hedgehog while trembling.

The bully crayfish alone They have no fear of conflict: They retreat, but not before moving their whiskers and yelling at the giant with the mustache, "Don’t growl or yell; we can move their own whiskers because we have mustaches too!" And took another step back.

"Who is not afraid of the villain and fights with the monster, I will give that hero two frogs and I will grant a pine cone," the Hippopotamus declared to the crocodiles and whales.

"With our teeth, our fangs, and our hooves, we are not afraid of him, Your Giant!" And the animals charged into combat amid a joyful throng.

However, the animals bolted when they saw the mustache (Ai-ai-ai!). They dispersed across the fields and forests because they were terrified of the mustache on a cockroach.

The Hippopotamus then exclaimed, "What a disgrace, what a shame! Hello, rhinos and bulls! Raid the enemy on your horns and emerge from your den!"

Nevertheless, the rhinos and bulls "We would have the enemy on our horns," they respond from their den. However, the horns these days are also not inexpensive, nor is the skin. And hide behind the hummocks in the marsh, and sit and shiver beneath the bushes. Elephants hid in the ditch, and crocodiles hid among the nettles. All that’s visible are quivering ears, and all that you can hear are teeth chattering.

The charming primates then grabbed the suitcases and took off as quickly as they could. The shark just waved its tail as it dodged. And a cuttlefish follows her. He rolls and backs away.

As a result, the cockroach emerged victorious and assumed control over fields and forests. The animals yielded to the man with the mustache. (May the damned let him fall to pieces!) Stroking his golden belly, he walks among them and says, "Bring me, animals, your children, I’ll eat them for dinner today!"

Animals are such poor creatures! Howling, weeping, bellowing! The evil glutton is cursed in every cave and den. And what mother would agree to give away her beloved child—a bear cub, a wolf cub, an elephant—so that the poor little one would be tortured by an insatiable stuffed animal? They grieve, they cry, and they bid the little ones farewell for all time.

However, one morning a kangaroo charged, When she spotted the man with the mustache, she yelled, "Is this a giant? (Ha-ha-ha!) All it is is a cockroach! (Ha-ha-ha!) Let there be cockroaches everywhere; tiny, liquid-legged cockroaches. Don’t you feel embarrassed? Don’t you feel offended? You have fangs and teeth. They bowed down to the small one and gave in to the tiny bug."

The hippos became alarmed. "What are you saying, what are you saying!?" they muttered. Leave this place now! Like it would "not be harmful to us!"

Only abruptly from distant fields, behind a blue forest, and behind a bush A Sparrow soars into view. Chiki-riki-chik-chirp, chirp-chirp, and jump-chirp! The giant vanished after he grabbed and kissed the cockroach. There are no more whiskers after the giant received what he deserved.

How joyful they seem, how joyful they seem The entire animal family congratulates and praises the handsome Sparrow! The rams and sheep are beating the drums, the goats are sweeping the road with their beards, and the donkeys are singing his praises from the notes! The trumpeter owls are blowing! Screaming from the watchtower are the rooks! Bats dancing and waving handkerchiefs on the roof. And that stylish elephant Dazzling so brilliantly that the pink moon The sky shook, and the poor elephant fell flat on his back. To dive into the swamp in search of the moon and use nails to affix it to the sky was the trouble later!

The stolen sun.

The sun ran behind a cloud as it traveled across the sky. The bunny peered out the window, seeing that it was getting darker. With a jump across the fields, the white-sided magpies cried out to the cranes, "Woe, woe, the crocodile sucked the sun in the sky!"

It got dark; stay inside the gate. Whoever was outside became lost and vanished.

The grey sparrow calls out, "Please, hurry and come out, my sunshine! Without the sun, we are depressed—not a grain in the field." The bunnies on the lawn are weeping; sadly, they have lost their way and are unable to find their way home.

The only crayfish with protruding eyes In the dark, they crawl along the ground. Yes, crazy wolves can be heard howling in the shadows behind the mountain.

Two rams called Tra-ta-ta and Tra-ta-ta knocked on the gate early in the morning! Come out, you animals, and defeat the crocodile so that it will no longer be able to turn the sun into the sky out of greed.

However, the scruffy ones are terrified—where are we going to battle someone like that? He’s toothy and menacing! He refuses to give the sun to us.

They dash to the bear’s den, calling for it to emerge so it can assist! Lazybones, stop sucking your paw! Let’s go save the sun!

However, the bear is not interested in fighting. It keeps walking around the swamp, cries, and roars as it calls the cubs out of it. "Oh, thick-footed ones, where have you disappeared to? To whom did you cast me, an old man?"

And the bear is prowling in the swamp. "Where are you, where have you disappeared to, or did you fall into a ditch?" she asked, searching beneath the snags for her cubs. Or were those stray dogs that you tore apart in the shadows?"

"It’s a shame for an old man to roar!" the hare said to the bear as it emerged. You’re a bear, not a hare! You make an attempt, clubfoot, to tear apart a crocodile, pull the sun from its mouth, and so on." And when will it happen once more? Will your fuzzy babies, the thick-footed bear cubs, shine in the sky? They’ll run over to the house and say, "Hey, grandpa, we’re here!"

The bear growled, got to his feet, and took off for the large river. And there is a crocodile in the large river, and there is no fire burning in his teeth—the red sun, the stolen sun.

The bear moved in silence, so I gave him a little shove. "I tell you, villain, quickly spit out my sunshine!" I said. If not, behold, I’ll seize you and cleave you in two! Ignomus, you’ll know that they’re stealing our sun! The entire world vanishes, and you experience no sorrow!"

The tree trembles as the shameless one laughs, saying, "If only I wanted, I could swallow the moon!"

When the bear could take it no more, it roared and launched an attack on the cunning foe. "Bring us our sun!" he cried, already breaking and crushing him.

The crocodile became alarmed, howling and screaming, And dropped out of the sun’s fangs, rolling up into the sky. Run between the bushes and the leaves of the birch trees. Greetings, golden sun! Hi there, sky blue!

Bunnies started to tumble and jump on the lawn as birds started to chirp and fly after bugs.

And look! Bear cubs that resemble contented kittens directly to the grandfather with the fur The ones with thick feet bolt, saying, "Grandfather, we’re here!"

Joyous squirrels and bunnies, Both boys and girls are content. They give the clubfoot a hug and a kiss, saying, "Well, thanks, grandpa, for the sun!"
