Gray neck biography

The names of the chapters are conditional. Chapter 1. A duck with a broken wing one in the fall, when the grass turned yellow from the first cold, the birds began to prepare for the flight to the south. Everyone was preoccupied with the upcoming difficult journey, especially small birds that fussed and rustled the most. The forest became quiet, as the main singers have already flown away.

The old spleen and his wife duck were also preparing for the departure, but they were worried about the gray neck, which could not fly due to a broken wing. In the summer, the fox attacked the ducklings in the summer and grabbed a gray neck. The duck managed to recapture her daughter, but her wing was broken. The duck was ready to stay with her daughter for the winter and reproached her husband that he was a bad father.

The spleen believed that his healthy children were more needed, because the gray neck would still not survive the winter. The spleen loved serious reasoning, and it turned out somehow so that it was he, the spleen, is always right, always smart and always better than anyone else. Advertising, he convinced the duck to fly south. Chapter 2. The gray neck remains one gray neck, she still did not know what it was like to be alone, and with curiosity she watched as the flock was about to fly away.

The old duck treated her daughter with great tenderness, comforted her and told stories about how ducks worried the winter. She regretted that she could not move the gray neck to a warm source that would never freeze, and advised the shore to stay, where a quick stream flows into the river - there the water would not freeze longer. Once in the early morning, the whole flock “lost one live pile on the river”, the main leader gave the command to departure, and the flock rose into the air.

For the first time in my life, the gray neck was left alone. She missed the family and was afraid of loneliness. Acquaintance with the hare and the fox of the river, on which the gray neck was breaking, flowed in the mountains covered with dense forest. The places were deaf. At night, the water off the coast of the river was covered with a thin crust of ice, which was melting in the afternoon.

The gray neck thought with horror that one day the river would freeze. Advertising was bored, there was no one on the river, life was boiling only in the forest. Once the gray neck went into the forest, and a hare scared from under the bush scared her. The hare was also frightened by the gray neck, but then they met and became friends. The hare warned the duck that a terrible fox was wandering in these places, and was not surprised to learn that it was she who crippled the gray neck.

No worse than the beast. She gets to me for a long time ... You take care of her, especially when the river is covered with ice. It just grows ... soon the first snow fell, the frost intensified, and the river began to freeze, only in the middle there was a wormwood, where the gray neck could swim. Once a fox appeared on the shore, which in the summer broke the duck of the wing.

She recognized the gray neck, gently spoke with her and very much scared the poor duck. The fox began to come every day and try ice for strength. She patiently waited for the wormwood freezing, and she would get to the gray neck. The hare watched everything from afar, was indignant and worried about his friend, but he could not help. Chapter 4. A wonderful salvation probably would have eaten a gray neck, but a miracle happened that the hare saw with his own eyes.

Once Akintich came to the river. Akintich wanted to shoot hares and sew a fur coat with his old woman-woman, but as luck would have it, all the hares fled, and he could not shoot anyone. Srowning to rest on the banks of the river, Akintich saw a fox crawling on the ice to the wormwood. The old man did not see the gray neck - she was obscured by the fox. He decided that the fox would become a great collar for the fur coat, and shot, but did not hit.

Something about ice was darted, and when the smoke scattered from the shot, Akintich found only a frightened gray neck in a wormwood.

Well, and the cunning beast. The duck told the old man that she could not fly south because of the broken wing. Akintich decided to take the duck home so that she had fun his granddaughter, and in the spring to apply eggs and led the ducklings. He took out a neck from the water and laid it behind the bosom. On the way home, Akintich decided that his wife would not say anything, but "the old woman would not freeze on the stove without a fur coat." The hares saw all this and laughed merrily, rejoicing in the salvation of gray neck.
