Fairy tales - a universal and effective wayknowledge of the world and education for the child. Light form, fascinating plot, special forms and well-established words - all this helps adults to convey to the baby the most important truths, using the language available to him.
Tales of animals are among the oldest species. In them, a world where animals, birds, fish and insects can speak, is represented as an allegorical reflection of the human. Animals often become the embodiment of our vices - cowardice, stupidity, bragging, greed, hypocrisy, wickedness.
Among other popular heroes of folk talesa separate group is occupied by a hare, a frog and a mouse. In works they act as weak characters. Their insecurity can be beaten with both positive and negative sides. For example, in the fairy tale "The Hare-Braggart" (or "The Hare's Hare"), a defenseless animal acts as a negative hero who must realize the incorrectness of his behavior.
In the description of actors is manifestedallegory: the manner of behavior of animals often causes associations with the human way of life, forces the child to find these connections and teaches him to critically evaluate certain situations, draw conclusions.
Fairy tales contain their own, special humor. He is not always clearly expressed, and sometimes lies in ridiculous and ridiculous situations (brave hare-braggart hides from a crow under a bush).
This kind of folk art transmits andsome features of speech: the established forms of words (lived-were, that's the end of the fairy tale, etc.), the peculiarity of the construction (the oral form often contributes to the fact that the tale consists entirely of dialogues).
The work "The Hare-Braggart" tells abouta cowardly little rabbit who, in the winter time of the year, had to earn his living by stealing oats from the peasants. When he once again ran to the threshing floor, he found a large number of his brothers there.
To stand out among them, the bunny began loudlybrag: "And I, my brothers, do not have a mustache, but are stronger, and I do not have paws, but paws, and I do not have teeth, but teeth, and I'm not afraid of anyone in this world - that's what I'm good at!"
The rest are cross-eyed, having met after thataunt-raven, told her what she had heard. She, in turn, began to talk about this to everyone she met, but no one wanted to believe her. Then the crow decided to find a braggart and understand if he's lying.
Having met the hare, my aunt began to question him and found out that she had invented the scythe. The crow took from the braggart the word that he would not do it any more.
One day, my aunt was sitting on the fence, when herthe dogs attacked. The hare decided to save her and it seemed that the dogs noticed him and chased him. He ran fast, so that the dogs could not keep up. And the crow after that began to call him not a braggart, but a brave man.
Hare-braggart at the beginning of the fairy tale appears asA negative hero who puts himself above others. His image is of particular importance, since children tend to exaggerate in their stories the reality surrounding them, in order to seem more interesting than their friends.
Changing the hare, realizing its wrongness will help the child understand that such behavior will not lead to anything good, but helping comrades is of real value.
Russian folk tale "The Hare-Braggart" hasmorality, which is indicated at the end of the work. It says that words that are not backed up by actions can not be proof. Only things are best able to tell about a person. A kind fairy tale with a light but instructive plot will be the best ally in the child's upbringing.
