Boris Zhidkov's story about the little duckling Alyoshka, that, although he is small, but very brave, he was not afraid of a dragonfly.
Boris Zhitkov. Brave duck
Every morning the hostess brought out a full plate of chopped eggs to the ducklings. She put the plate near the bush, and she left.
As soon as the ducklings ran up to the plate, suddenly a large dragonfly flew out of the garden and began to circle over them.
She chirped so terribly that the frightened ducklings ran away and hid in the grass. They were afraid that the dragonfly would bite them all.
And the evil dragonfly sat down on a plate, tasted the food and then flew away. After that, the ducklings did not come to the plate for the whole day. They were afraid that the dragonfly would come again. In the evening, the hostess removed the plate and said: "Our ducklings must be sick, they are not eating anything." She didn’t know that the ducklings went to bed hungry every night.
Once their neighbor, a little duck Alyosha, came to visit the ducklings. When the ducklings told him about the dragonfly, he began to laugh.
- Well, brave men! - he said. - I alone will drive this dragonfly away. You will see tomorrow.
- You are bragging, - said the ducklings, - tomorrow you will be the first to be frightened and run.
The next morning, the hostess, as always, put the plate of chopped eggs on the ground and left.
- Well, look, - said the brave Alyosha, - now I will fight with your dragonfly.
He had just said this, when suddenly a dragonfly buzzed. She flew straight from above onto a plate.
The ducklings wanted to run away, but Alyosha was not afraid. Before the dragonfly had time to sit on the plate, Alyosha grabbed her by the wing with his beak. She escaped with a force and flew away with a broken wing.
Since then, she never flew into the garden, and the ducklings ate their fill every day. They not only ate themselves, but also treated the brave Alyosha for saving them from the dragonfly.

* * *Small lace under the Christmas tree
The boy took a net - a wicker net - and went to the lake to fish.
He caught a blue fish first. Blue, shiny, with red feathers, with round eyes. The eyes are like buttons. And the tail of the fish is just like silk: blue, thin, golden hairs. The boy took a mug, a small mug of thin glass. Scooped water from the lake into a mug - let the fish swim while.
The fish gets angry, beats, escapes, and the boy is more likely to put it in a mug - boo! He ran further, caught another fish - very small. The growth of the fish is no larger than a mosquito, you can barely see the fish. The boy quietly took the fish by the tail, threw it into the mug - not to be seen at all. He himself ran on.
“Here,” he thinks, “wait, I'll catch a fish, a big crucian carp.”
- Whoever catches a fish will be the first to catch it. Just do not grab it right away, do not swallow: there are thorny fish - ruff, for example. Bring, show. I'll tell you what kind of fish to eat, what to spit out.
Ducklings flew, swam in all directions. And one swam the farthest. He got out on the shore, shook himself and went waddling. What if there are fish on the shore? He sees that there is a mug under the tree. There is voditsa in a mug. "Let me take a look."
Fishes in the water rush, splash, poke, there is nowhere to get out - glass is everywhere.
A duckling came up and saw: oh yes, fish! He took the biggest one and picked it up. And - rather to my mother.
“I’m probably the first. I was the first to catch a fish - I was great. "
The fish is red, the feathers are white, two antennae hung from the mouth, there are dark stripes on the sides, a speck on the scallop, like a black eye.
The duck flapped its wings, flew along the coast - straight to mom.
The boy sees - a duck is flying, flying low, overhead, holding a fish in its beak, a red fish with a finger long.
The boy shouted at the top of his lungs:
- It's my fish! Thief duck, now give it back!
He waved his hands, screamed so terribly that he scared all the fish.
The duck was frightened and how he shouted: "Quack-quack!" Shouted "quack, quack" and missed the fish.
The fish swam into the lake, into deep water, waved its feathers, and swam home.
"How can I return to my mother with an empty beak?" - thought the duck, turned back, flew under the Christmas tree.
He sees: there is a mug under the tree. A small mug, in a mug - voditsa, and in voditsa - fish.
A duck came running, and rather grabbed a fish. A blue fish with a golden tail. Blue, shiny, with red feathers, with round eyes. The eyes are like buttons. And the tail of the fish is just like silk: blue, thin, golden hairs.
The duck flew up higher and - rather, to my mother.
“Well, now I won't shout, I won't open my beak. Once I was already a gap. "
So you can see my mother. Now it’s very close. And my mother shouted:
- Quack, what are you talking about?
- Quack, this is a fish, blue, gold - there is a glass mug under the Christmas tree.
Here and again the beak is open, and the fish is splashing into the water! A little blue fish with a golden tail. She shook her tail, whined and went, went, went inland.
The duck turned back, flew under the tree, looked into the mug, and in the mug the fish was small, small, no bigger than a mosquito, you could hardly see the fish. He pecked the duck into the water and flew back home with strength.
- Where is your fish? The duck asked. - I can not see anything.
And the duck is silent, does not open its beak. Thinks: “I'm cunning! Wow, how cunning I am! Cunning of all! I will be silent, otherwise I will open my beak - I will miss the fish. I dropped it twice. "
And the fish in its beak beats with a thin mosquito, and climbs into the throat. The duck was scared: “Oh, I think I'll swallow it now! Oh, seems to have swallowed! "
The brothers arrived. Each has a fish. All swam up to mom and stick their beaks. And the duck shouts to the duckling:
- Well, now you show what you brought!
The duck opened its beak, but the fish did not.
Brave duck
Every morning the hostess brought out a full plate of chopped eggs to the ducklings. She put the plate near the bush, and she left.
As soon as the ducklings ran up to the plate, suddenly a large dragonfly flew out of the garden and began to circle over them.
She chirped so terribly that the frightened ducklings ran away and hid in the grass. They were afraid that the dragonfly would bite them all.
And the evil dragonfly sat down on a plate, tasted the food and then flew away. After that, the ducklings did not come to the plate for the whole day. They were afraid that the dragonfly would come again. In the evening, the hostess removed the plate and said: "Our ducklings must be sick, they are not eating anything." She didn’t know that the ducklings went to bed hungry every night.
Once their neighbor, a little duck Alyosha, came to visit the ducklings. When the ducklings told him about the dragonfly, he began to laugh.
- Well, brave men! - he said. - I'll drive this dragonfly away alone. You will see tomorrow.
- You are bragging, - said the ducklings, - tomorrow you will be the first to be frightened and run.
The next morning, the hostess, as always, put the plate of chopped eggs on the ground and left.
- Well, look, - said the brave Alyosha, - now I will fight with your dragonfly.
He had just said this, when suddenly a dragonfly buzzed. She flew straight from above onto a plate.
The ducklings wanted to run away, but Alyosha was not afraid. Before the dragonfly had time to sit on the plate, Alyosha grabbed her by the wing with his beak. She escaped with a force and flew away with a broken wing.
Since then, she never flew into the garden, and the ducklings ate their fill every day. They not only ate themselves, but also treated the brave Alyosha for saving them from the dragonfly.
Girl Katya
The girl Katya wanted to fly away. There are no wings. And suddenly there is such a bird in the world - as big as a horse, wings, like a roof. If you sit on such a bird, you can fly across the seas to warm countries.
Only the bird must be appeased earlier and the bird should be fed with something good - cherries, for example.
At lunch, Katya asked dad:
- Are there birds like a horse?
“There is no such thing, there is no such thing,” Dad said. And he still sits and reads the newspaper.
Katya saw a sparrow. And I thought: “What an eccentric cockroach. If I were a cockroach, I would sneak up to a sparrow, sit between its wings and ride around the world, and the sparrow would know nothing. "
And she asked dad:
- What if a cockroach sits on a sparrow?
And dad said:
- A sparrow will bite and eat a cockroach.
- And it happens, - Katya asked, - that the eagle will grab the girl and carry it to its nest?
- Do not lift the eagle girl, - said dad.
- Will the two eagles carry it? Katya asked.
Dad didn’t say anything. Sits and reads the newspaper.
- How many eagles does it take to carry a girl? Katya asked.
“One hundred,” Dad said.
And the next day my mother said that there are no eagles in cities. A hundred eagles together never fly.
And the eagles are evil. Bloody birds. If an eagle catches a bird, it will tear it to pieces. Grabbing a hare - and will not leave legs.
And Katya thought: we need to choose good white birds so that they live together, fly in a flock, fly fast and flap their wide wings, white feathers. Making friends with white birds, carrying all the crumbs from lunch, not eating sweets for two years - giving everything to the white birds, so that the birds fall in love with Katya, so that they can take her with them and carry her over the sea.
And in fact - as they flap their wings, flap with a whole flock - so that the wind will rise and dust will go along the ground. And the birds above, buzz, bustle, pick up Katya ... yes, for whatever, by the sleeves, by the dress, even if they grab her by the hair - it doesn't hurt - they will grab her with beaks. They will rise above the house - everyone is looking - mom will shout: "Katya, Katya!" And Katya just nods her head and says: "Goodbye, I'll come later."
There are probably such birds in the world. Katya asked her mother:
- Where to find out what kind of birds are around the world?
Mom said:
- Scientists know, but by the way - in the zoo.
Katya and her mother walked in the zoo.
Well, their lions - and no need for monkeys. And here, in large cages, birds. The cage is large, and the bird is barely visible. Well, it's small. Such a doll cannot be lifted.
And here is the eagle. Wow, how scary.
The eagle sat on a gray stone and tore meat in pieces. Bites, jerks, turns his head. The beak is like iron tongs. Sharp, strong, hooked.
