In Russia, children have loved ladybugs since time immemorial. As a child, if a ladybug sat on our hand, we told her a rhyme: “Ladybug, fly to the sky, Bring us bread, Black, white, Just not burnt.” She listened attentively, and we tossed her into the sky. And the continuation of the poem is as follows: “Ladybug, Fly to the sky - I’ll give you bread! Ladybug, Fly to the sky, Your children are eating candy there - One for everyone, And not one for you!” “Ladybug, fly to the sky, Bring us bread, Black, white, Just not burnt.” She listened attentively, and we tossed her into the sky. And the continuation of the poem is as follows: “Ladybug, Fly to the sky - I’ll give you bread! Ladybug, Fly to the sky, Your children are eating candy there - One for everyone, And not one for you!”

In Rus', people traditionally addressed a cow with the question: “Lady cow, will there be bad weather tomorrow?” If she flew away, it means the weather will be good; if not, it means rain. The Slavs “fortified” with the help of a cow, asking: “Lady cow, should I live, should I die, or should I fly to heaven?” In Rus', people traditionally addressed a cow with the question: “Lady cow, will there be bad weather tomorrow?” If she flew away, it means the weather will be good; if not, it means rain.

Legend of the Ladybug: The image of the ladybug is found in a number of East Slavic myths. According to one of them, the wife of the thunder god Perun was turned into a ladybug, thus punished for treason. Seduced by the tempting serpent, Perynya fled with him, abandoning the children. Perun scorched her with lightning, and since then seven spots can be seen on her wings, according to the number of children remaining in the sky.

The name of this insect is associated with the belief that the ladybug belongs to the heavenly flock of Perun. She mediates between heaven and earth, between a powerful god and people. Therefore, she was credited with magical powers and the ability to influence the weather. People tried not to kill ladybugs so as not to incur God's wrath.

Did you know... Many people believe that the number of dots on a ladybug’s back can determine its age. This is not true. There are a huge number of different ladybugs in the world, and the number of dots on their wings depends on the species. There can be from two to twenty-six.

THREE LIVES OF A LADYBUG Yellow shiny eggs are glued in clusters on the bottom of the leaves. Inside the testicle you can see a small larva. She fidgets, fumbles around there - she wants to get out.

THE SECOND LIFE OF A LADYBUG It’s strange, this second life. Without traveling through the bushes, through the grass, without hunting exploits. Hanging, just hanging in a secluded place. Weekly or two-weekly. Outside, the pupa darkens and becomes covered with yellow, orange, and black spots. And inside... A beetle is born inside. The ladybug has begun her THIRD LIFE!

This is interesting: The origin of the name “cow” is most likely associated with the biological feature of the bug: it can produce milk, and not ordinary milk, but red milk! In case of danger, such liquid is released from the pores on the bends of the limbs. The milk tastes extremely unpleasant (and in large doses it can even be fatal!) and repels predators.

WATCH THE LADYBUG WATCH THE LADYBUG 1. Find ladybugs in the country house, in the forest. Count how many dots they have on their wings. Name the ladybug. Find yellow, brown, black ladybugs and sketch them. No need to catch. 2. Place a ladybug on your hand, watch how it secretes droplets of pungent blood, pay attention to the pungent smell of blood. After this experience, release the beetle. 3. Watch how a ladybug hunts aphids; how long does it take for it to search for prey? Is it easy to control aphids? 4. At the beginning of summer, look for ladybird larvae. Remember them well and always treat them with care. 1. Find ladybugs in the country, in the forest. Count how many dots they have on their wings.

Page ten - about dragonflies
Just...
One day I was sitting by the river. Dragonflies flew over the thickets of arrow leaf and yellow egg capsule. And the boys were swimming nearby. So they got out of the water, dried out a little and... suddenly began to hunt dragonflies. They knocked them down with their shirts and caught them with their hats. I ran up to them: “What are you doing?!” For what?" The guys were surprised: “Why? Just like that..."

Probably many will remember a similar incident. It’s also good if the guys hold the dragonfly by the wings and let go. But it happens that insects’ legs and heads are torn off. Or they organize a competition to see who can kill the most dragonflies.

And dragonflies need to be protected! Why? Yes, simply because they are part of the living world around us, because they are beautiful, and a person cannot live without beauty. In addition, we must not forget that, having killed one single dragonfly, a person, one might say, releases hundreds, thousands of mosquitoes and midges into the wild. And how annoying they can be, these mosquitoes and midges! How painfully they bite, especially when you are relaxing on the banks of a river or pond, fishing, riding a boat... And then dragonflies come to the aid of a person. After all, mosquitoes and midges are their main, favorite food.
Big-eyed hunters
Look into the eyes of a dragonfly. If, of course, you manage to carefully approach her, sitting on a leaf or twig. The eyes are not just big. They are huge. They are round and smooth, like the sides of a globe, mysterious, like pearls.

Then the dragonfly takes off. And you will hear the dry rustle of its strong wings, if the dragonfly is large. Or, if you’re small, you won’t hear anything, but you’ll see how the wings, starting to move, will light up and play in the sun’s rays...

From May until autumn, dragonflies fly over the overgrown banks of rivers and streams, ponds and lakes, along forest edges and over clearings - they hunt.

They catch prey with their feet. Their legs are covered with spines and bristles, and in flight they are bent and brought together so that they form a “catching basket.” A rapid air zigzag - and a mosquito or fly in this “basket”. The dragonfly eats the mosquito on the fly. And the fly - sitting on a branch, slowly. And then he rests for a while.

“I have repeatedly seen,” writes the famous German scientist Alfred Brehm in his book “The Life of Animals,” “that a dragonfly turned out to be more agile than me, snatching a moth or other insect that I wanted to catch from under my nose.”

Watch how the rocker dragonfly, large, about ten centimeters in wingspan, hunts over the forest road. She has her own area along which she flies back and forth. He does not allow other dragonflies, especially of the same species, into this area - he resolutely attacks and drives them away! Rocker flies, and many other dragonflies, fly excellently. The speed reaches up to 50 kilometers per hour and even, as some scientists say, up to 90.

But there are other dragonflies. Like butterflies, they flutter near the water, light and gentle. They are not in a hurry, they sit down on the reeds and leaves so delicately, as if they know their names: a beautiful girl, a beautiful arrow, a graceful arrow.

Female beauties have yellowish wings, males have blue wings. The arrows are smaller and unusually thin - they break when caught by a clumsy human hand. Lutki are also very fragile - they are generally the smallest of our dragonflies.

All these creatures feed on living prey, although they do not go after it like rockers in dizzying chases. They collect insects sitting on plants, and occasionally catch flying ones. These dragonflies do not have hunting grounds: as they say, they find both a table and a home under every leaf.

Patient researchers, who studied the hunting habits of various dragonflies with cameras, binoculars and stopwatches in their hands, called large and strong dragonflies pursuers, and beauties, shooters and lute - gatherers.

Among the dragonflies there is also a third group of hunters - the lieutenants! Awakened by the morning sun, they begin to fly, looking for a convenient twig or twig in forest clearings, so that they can sit high all day and look far away. They are scrupulous to the extreme: lurkers of different types choose branches with different angles of inclination, different thicknesses, and a certain color! These dragonflies are medium in size and very good flyers. Seeing prey, they take off, catch it with lightning speed and fly back just as quickly. They sit down on their branch, eat and wait again...

And now a few more words about the services of winged hunters to people.

“There were so many midges that the air seemed filled with them,” wrote one zoologist at the beginning of this century. But then, he says, dragonflies appeared. At first just a few pieces, then more, more. After two days, their number became so great that a strong mind could be clearly heard in the air from the flapping of countless wings. Dragonflies greedily caught midges. Another two days passed - and not a single midge was noticeable anywhere.

This still happens now. Moreover, in some places in Siberia people specifically wait for the appearance of dragonflies in order to begin cultivating vegetable gardens along the shores of lakes. Otherwise it is simply impossible to work - mosquitoes eat.

They are so necessary, these big-eyed hunters!
Life underwater
Dragonfly larvae live in water. If you use a special water net made of durable fabric to rummage at the bottom of some pond or forest lake, the net may contain a dragonfly larva in person. Let's take a good look at it, and once we've looked at it, we'll release it. Yes, this creation is not the most beautiful. Clumsy looking, gray, smeared in mud. The legs are long and splayed. The eyes are bulging... However, brightness and diversity would be completely inappropriate here - with them it won’t take long to get into the mouth of a fish.

This larva emerges from the egg very tiny - one and a half to two millimeters long. But in the third year of life, when development comes to an end, it is 5 centimeters in the rocker dragonfly, and 6 centimeters in the sentinel dragonfly! Other, smaller dragonflies have smaller larvae, and they often live only one year.

The future dragonfly does not pursue its prey (various aquatic larvae, crustaceans, tadpoles), but lies in wait, hiding in ambush somewhere among the greenery. It only catches moving prey. It grabs lightning fast! And not with legs, not with jaws, but with a “mask”. “Mask” is a long, folding lower lip, with hooks at the end. Having grabbed its lunch, the larva pulls it to its mouth, and then its powerful jaws begin to work. In normal times, the lip is folded and covers, like a real mask, the lower part of the predator’s face.

True, not all larvae feed this way. In some species, the lip resembles a scoop, and even with a strainer. These larvae spend their entire lives crawling around in the mud, extracting everything edible from it; it is clear that they collect not only moving, but also stationary prey.

The method of movement of the larvae of large dragonflies is very unusual. They forcefully throw out a stream of water from their abdomen and, receiving a push, like a rocket, rush forward, as if in big leaps, they swim quickly and easily. Dragonfly researcher Boris Fedorovich Belyshev observed a case when a stream from a larva, breaking through a small layer of water, hit a table 60 centimeters from the aquarium in which the larva lived. It is not surprising that, escaping from a fish’s mouth, a frightened predator usually completely forgets about her rather strong legs and runs away headlong, using only a water jet engine.

The larvae of small dragonflies move differently. They have three leaves clearly visible at the rear end of their body. These leaves serve as fins for the larva.

This is how future dragonflies live.

But one fine day, along some reed sticking out of the water, a larva climbs out into the air, towards the sun. It freezes, hanging over the wet abyss... And then the clothes on the larva’s back burst, and a winged dragonfly is born, which will never return to the water. Figure 25

Dragonflies are waiting for help
Dragonflies are very ancient insects. Three hundred million years ago there were no wasps, bees, or butterflies on earth. There were no birds or animals. There were no flowers. But the dragonflies were already flying. Many were huge - their wingspan reached almost a meter!

There are now about 4,500 species of dragonflies known worldwide. There are especially many of them in hot countries. There are even large and bright creatures that live there that we have never even dreamed of. True, the former giants have long since died out - the largest modern dragonflies reach a wingspan of 19 centimeters. However, you must agree, this is a lot.

Indeed, it is difficult to even imagine how much older dragonflies are than humanity! But the same thing is happening to them now as to the vast majority of other animals and plants. They retreat under human pressure. In many countries, dragonflies are becoming increasingly scarce. Dragonflies are especially vulnerable, the larvae of which can live only in clean water bodies - there are almost no clean water bodies left.

Dragonflies deserve to be treated with care. And the guys can do a lot for them. To stop, for example, someone who is going to wash a car or motorcycle in a river: this really pollutes the water. Don't catch dragonflies, but watch them! Maybe someone will be able to see something that even scientists don’t know yet.

Page eighteen, about frogs and toads,

which many people don't like at all
Their trouble is our fault
It is difficult to even understand why frogs and toads still live on earth. Of course, in the modern world there are few animals that would live well: man oppresses everyone, and even if he loves someone, he does not necessarily protect them. But frogs and toads...

In one old book about toads it is written like this: “The toad is a disgusting animal... In the month of July, toads are impaled on a sharp stick with the head or neck and dried in the air for both internal and external use.” Yes, it’s unlikely that toads would like this book. They liked it even less when they were pricked on a stick and dried. But what could they do if people, despising toads, at the same time for some reason considered them a good remedy for many diseases?!

The killed toad was used as medicine. And they attributed terrible properties to the living: terribly poisonous, as if with just its breath and even its gaze it was capable of disfiguring a person. And moreover, she is a companion of witches and other evil spirits, and meeting her only promises trouble for a person. It is clear how such meetings ended for the toads. People who believed these fables simply killed innocent animals.

And their extermination is still in full swing. Stupid, pointless. Many people still don’t like toads and kill them on occasion. And nowadays, some people think that touching a toad gives a person warts. What nonsense!

Frogs seem to have received less slander than toads. However, they were also never favored, although frog legs have long been considered a gourmet food in some countries. And now frog meat costs much more than the best varieties of fish there. Visitors to expensive restaurants do not spare money for an unusual dish. In Italy alone, about 15 million frogs are eaten every year! There are only a few frogs left in most Western European countries. That's why they are brought from abroad. India sells especially many frogs. The total weight of unfortunate animals caught there annually is 5 thousand tons. Moreover, many catchers, in order to make their work easier, tear off the legs right on the spot - from living frogs!

Here we cannot help but recall another frog misfortune. They have become very convenient and even irreplaceable animals for conducting various experiments. With their completely involuntary help, scientists, especially doctors, made many important discoveries. In gratitude for this, two monuments were erected to frogs - in Paris and in Tokyo.

Well, grateful scientists erected monuments to frogs. But is there gratitude to these defenseless creatures in the soul of each of us? After all, they died for the sake of our health.

How often do guys destroy frogs! They throw stones at them and torture small, weak animals who are unable to stand up for themselves. Is it possible to?

Let's add to all this the death of frogs and toads on highways. They fall under the wheels of cars when in the spring they go to breed in reservoirs, often located quite far from their wintering places. In some countries, to save frogs and toads, special “catching fences” are set up along the roads, near which plastic buckets are buried at some distance from one another. Frogs and toads, moving along the “fences,” fall into these buckets, and people then carry them across the road. It is also planned to construct special underground passages for amphibians. But all this is still in other countries. Not with us.

This is the relationship between frogs and toads and humans...

Look how big, sad eyes are looking at you. And how much calm and restraint there is in these creatures! It even seems that they are silently and proudly waiting for us to finally be fair to them.
What types of frogs and toads are there?
But, despite everything, frogs and toads live on Earth. Their various relatives also live: tree frogs, fire-bellied toads, spadefoot spadefoots, newts, salamanders... There are 3,200 species of amphibians in the world.

The most common frogs in our country are pond frogs, lake frogs, grass frogs, and sharp-faced frogs.

The first two are green frogs.

They spend their entire lives in or near water, even wintering at the bottom of reservoirs. And naturally, the green color helps them remain invisible. The pond frog grows up to 8 centimeters in length. Ozernaya is much larger - up to 15 centimeters. Grass and sharp-faced frogs are brown. They spend most of their time on land, where their brown coloration (the color of dry leaves, sticks and blades of grass) serves them well.

These frogs, like all amphibians, breed in water, and grass frogs also overwinter there. Sharp-faced frogs, as a rule, winter on land - in rodent burrows, in some holes, in cracks, in piles of fallen leaves. They are smaller than grass ones (grass ones can be up to 10 centimeters), but in general they are similar to them. To distinguish these frogs, you need to keep in mind: the sharp-faced frog has a white abdomen, while the grass frog has a spotted one. The sharp-faced one also has a pointed muzzle. And during breeding, the males of this frog acquire an amazing blue color.

Two types of toads are widespread in our country: green and gray. They differ from each other not only in color, but also in size: the gray one is much larger than the green one. Both toads spend most of the year on land and only temporarily move into the water to reproduce. The green toad overwinters in animal burrows, pits and other shelters, and can burrow into loose soil. The gray one often gets into cellars and basements. Figure 26

Similar but different
Some people confuse frogs with toads, and toads with frogs. Let's compare them with each other.

It is not difficult to find similarities: both spend part of their time on land, and part of their time in water; in any case, they reproduce in water. The development of both begins with the egg - a tadpole emerges from it, which gradually turns into an adult frog or toad. Both have bare skin. And they feed mainly on insects. There are many similarities simply in appearance and habits.

What are the differences?

Let's start with caviar. The clutches of frog eggs look like large lumps, and the eggs of toads are hidden inside mucous cords, and the length of such cords in a gray toad is 3-5 meters, and in a green toad - up to 7 meters!

The tadpoles of frogs and toads are similar. But the former usually swim shallowly among aquatic plants, while the latter stay near the bottom. That is why the body of toad tadpoles is slightly flattened from top to bottom, and the head is elongated - this makes it easier to dig into the mud.

Adult frogs have smooth, moist and very delicate skin. In toads, on the contrary, it is lumpy, drier and rougher. The skin secretions of frogs are almost non-toxic, but in toads they are poisonous to animals and have an unpleasant smell. Particularly large poisonous glands are located behind the eyes of the toad. However, the toad releases its poison only when a predator grabs it. Many predators immediately discard dangerous prey.

But toad venom can only harm a person if it gets into the mouth or eyes.

Frogs are much more agile than toads. Everyone knows how deftly they jump, pushing off with their long hind legs. Slow toads are not capable of such feats - their legs are short! Their tongue, a hunting device, is also shorter than that of a frog. For these reasons, when hunting, they mainly get crawling insects, while frogs get both crawling and flying ones.

It is interesting that toads have absolutely no teeth, while frogs have them, however, only on the upper jaw and they are very, very small.

Frogs, as a rule, hunt both day and night. Toads come out of their shelters only at night or at dusk.

Some people consider frogs to be quite cute creatures, but toads are still ugly. To me, both seem beautiful in their own way and equally worthy of respect.
Link in an unbreakable chain
Even a beetle crunched under the wheels is a reproach to a person. So says the writer Vasily Mikhailovich Peskov. And that's true. We, people, have a difficult responsibility: not to let the living things that so trustingly surround us on earth disappear. This is the duty of the strong.

Frogs and toads must live because we are stronger than them...

But they must also live because in the chains of nature, where everything is connected to one another, they have their own very important place. For every frog killed, nature can present us with a bill.

At least this: one grass frog eats up to seven insects and other creatures per day that can cause harm to humans. After wintering, she appears at the end of April, and leaves for the winter at the end of September, therefore, she obtains food for herself for five months, and during this time she will eat more than a thousand of all kinds of mosquitoes, flies, and beetles that are dangerous for our economy. Thus, it does not allow these creatures to multiply beyond measure.

Frogs and toads are the keepers of balance in nature. Thanks to them for this!

But the balance in nature depends not only on who and how many frogs and toads eat. It depends on who eats the frogs and toads themselves and in what quantity! And they are eaten, especially frogs, by storks, herons, seagulls, birds of prey, badgers, otters, minks, raccoon dogs and many other birds and animals, as well as predatory fish. The life of all these animals largely depends on frogs and toads.

Imagine a natural chain: mosquitoes - frogs - storks. Try to break it apart mentally: imagine that the frogs have disappeared. Oh, how the mosquitoes began to multiply uncontrollably! What about storks? There are fewer and fewer of them... No, natural chains cannot be broken!

And people are tearing up. And not only when they simply catch frogs or destroy toads. “Even a one-time treatment of forests with pesticides,” writes Professor Andrei Grigorievich Bannikov, “reduces the number of frogs, toads, newts and lizards by 2-3 times.” But what about the frequent spraying of fields and gardens with pesticides? But what about the pollution of water bodies with household and industrial waste? What about the draining of swamps, shallowing and drying up of lakes and small rivers?

But let's hope that over time people will cope with these troubles.

In addition, there are already the first successful experiments in artificial breeding of frogs. And someday, perhaps soon, real frog farms will appear, from where frogs will be sent abroad and to scientific institutes. And... into the river that flows next door.

Bird buckwheat.
When I was little, this weed always puzzled me. I met it on the road, in a vacant lot, and on the river bank, but it grew especially thickly on our impassable, completely rustic-looking street. The large hillock right in front of the house was completely green with this grass.

It puzzled me because no matter who I asked, no one knew its name. Wormwood, motherwort, yarrow - all these herbs were known to me. But this one, the most common one...
“They call it grass-ant,” said the grandmother. “It’s popular among the people.” I don’t know what the scientists named it.

I "studied" the mysterious herb with the greatest attention. I found out that its root is rather thin and weak, but the stems are strong and elastic, and no matter how much we walked along our hillock, it did not disappear from it. Its leaves are small, and its flowers are tiny and sit close to the stem, as if hiding under the protection of the leaves.

Geese always grazed on the hillock. I didn’t like it when they stretched their necks and hissed, so I didn’t go close to them. But I saw that they were eating my mysterious grass, and they were eating it with an enviable appetite.

How many pages are there in the book of nature?

One day, in an unknown kingdom and a distant state, the king issued a decree. Whoever does the greatest good deed will receive a huge reward. The king did not specify which one, he only referred to the large reserves of his treasury, hinting that he would not skimp. As the inhabitants of the kingdom heard about the generous gift, let’s do good deeds during the distillation. From the very morning, a line of numerous citizens crowded in front of the royal palace with good deeds in chests and on carts.

“Here, Father Tsar, he did a good deed, he drove his last cow to the royal court,” the old man bowed to the floor to his sovereign.

The king just sighed, accepted the gifts, and let everyone go in peace. Several days passed in this way, but the king did not acknowledge the richest man in good deeds. A rumor spread among the residents that the king had deceitfully decided to take away their last possessions. The decree is also fake, since the size of the reward is not specified. Every day there were fewer and fewer people willing to carry out the king’s decree.

And there lived in that kingdom one very poor family. Not only is she not rich, but she also has no father as a breadwinner. Only the mother raised and raised two sons. Her children were very small and unreasonable. Whenever they had a question, they ran to their mother and asked for advice. And the brothers heard about the king’s decree and immediately raced to their mother.

- Mom, mom, the king promised to give a big reward for the greatest good deed. What do you think needs to be done to fulfill the decree and receive the reward? – they almost turned to their mother in unison.

Mom thought about it. How long have I lived in this world, but I have never heard of such generosity from the king for ordinary good deeds.

- Yes, what can you think, just do what your heart tells you. If your heart is good, then your deeds will be good. - This is how the mother answered her little sons and went back to work.

The brothers thought about it. Good deeds are easy to do, but according to the decree, the deed must be the greatest. The older one went to think, listen to his heart and come up with a case. And the youngest decided to walk down the street and listen to what people were saying about good deeds.

Here comes the youngest and sees an old woman with brushwood. Her burden is heavy, so much so that the grandmother can barely move her feet. The boy listened to his heart and heard that she needed help. He walks, carries brushwood and thinks, it’s a good deed, but how big it is, it’s not clear. Brought brushwood. I received gratitude from the old woman and went on to look for more good deeds. So he walked all day, either to help an old man, or to bring water from the river to someone, or even to clean the pipe in the stove for thanks and gratitude.

A week has already passed, the eldest son sits and invents a case, and the youngest leaves in the morning and returns in the evening from good deeds, almost exhausted.

- Well, did you do a good deed? – the older brother asked the younger one.

“I have done a lot of good deeds, but I haven’t found the greatest one.” Never mind, tomorrow, like morning, I’ll look again. Mom told me to listen to my heart, so it will tell me someday.

“But I’ve changed my mind a lot, only they’re all a little less so.” Tomorrow, like morning, I’ll start thinking again. My heart is big and kind, so it will tell me something.

Meanwhile, the people were still waiting for the king to announce the one who had done the best deed. But the king was in no hurry to make a decision, he kept waiting and keeping an eye on the kingdom. The deadlines have already passed, and the residents have almost no goods left, everything has been dragged to the palace, and the king is silent. And they decided to go to the sovereign for an answer. What is this being done? The king gets by on good things, the people become poorer, but the good deed is never honored. Now the crowd has already gathered with pitchforks and forks. He rebels and rushes to go to the palace. The old people saw what was beginning to happen in the kingdom-state, and one old man came out in front of the crowd to keep his word.

– You people are kind. Look, how much good you brought to the Tsar, but you just did the wrong things to ask the Tsar now. The decree was for good deeds, but now you are fierce animals.

Among the old people there was only one old woman. I could barely move my legs, but I gathered all my last strength, stood up and went out to the rebellious people.

- If you, good people, want to ask the king for his decree. So ask one for the boy. He has done so many good and bright deeds in our kingdom. If the king does not mark his deeds, then let him keep his word before your pitchforks.

People looked at each other. What kind of boy is this who has done so many things? And it was not him who was remembered, but his good deeds. People gathered and went to look for the boy. They approached his house and began to call him. Mom looked outside the outskirts and fear filled her all. She saw people with pitchforks and spikes calling her son. The eldest son also heard screams. He realized that his brother needed to be saved. His heart suggested a good deed. He sat his mother on a bench, and he went out into the yard to talk with the grown men. Mom just looked out the window and couldn’t get enough of her son. He stood in front of a whole crowd and kept his word. The men turned around, and her yard was empty, as if there was no one there. Mom was happy for the eldest that she raised him to be a real man. And she reproached the youngest in her heart and burst into tears.

And the crowd, meanwhile, with the eldest son, walked through the kingdom and looked for the boy. And he, as always, wandered through other people’s yards doing good deeds. The boy may have been small, but his good deeds rushed ahead of him. And so he stood in front of the citizens and listened to what the people were saying about the king and about his decree on good deeds.

“I can’t help you, good people.” There are many good deeds in our kingdom, but I have not yet found the greatest one. I have nothing to go to the king with.

But the crowd stood by its truth and forcibly took the boy to the king. The little one shook like an aspen leaf, but his older brother volunteered to protect him. He promised him his help if the king became angry, in case the reason for his concern turned out to be empty.

A raging crowd approached the royal palace. They began to demand the king. The decree is fake. Yes, for an unfulfilled promise. The little boy put him and his brother in front of him and began threatening him with a pitchfork. The tsar knew everything about the affairs in his state and had also heard a lot about the affairs of the good boys. He went out in front of the crowd, not afraid of anything, and approached the boy.

- So that’s what you are, a master of good deeds. I've been looking for you for a long time, but I just couldn't keep up with you. I lost count of how many good deeds you have done a long time ago.

The boy listened to the sovereign but was afraid to raise his eyes to him. The crowd fell silent from such kind words. I was waiting for the king's decision.

“Every good deed you do, no matter how small, helps people so much.” And if you collect them into one, then you shine with goodness almost on the whole earth.

The king's people listened and agreed with him. The number of good deeds that the boy did throughout his time was worth a lot.

– Every good deed of yours is like a small ray of light and warmth. You are the only one who was able to fulfill my decree, and you will receive a reward.

The boy was grateful to the sovereign, but he did not want to receive the entire reward himself. He remembered about his brother, who so boldly followed him and promised to protect him.

-Well, my brother, he also did a good deed. He protected me.

The king became thoughtful. But they didn’t wait long for his answer. He rewarded the two brothers according to their deeds and their deserts. And so it happened that the youngest was destined to become the sun, whose every ray shines every day with small and kind deeds. And his brother became his night companion for protection and supervision. If the sun called for help, the moon turned to him and became large, round and bright, and if the moon began to think about great good deeds, then she turned away, showing the sun only her thin, cold back.

The text is large so it is divided into pages.
