Baba Yaga is a Russian folk tale that has delighted children and adults for many centuries. It shows the story of a girl left without a mother. When her father remarried, the stepmother decided to destroy the girl and sent her to the forest to one of her relatives. Who she turned out to be, whether the girl will be able to return home, and who will help her with this, read along with the children in the fairy tale. She will teach them to be attentive, careful, courageous, to sympathize with the grief of others and to rely on their own strengths in difficulties.

Once upon a time there lived a husband and wife, and they had a daughter. The wife fell ill and died. The man grieved and grieved and married someone else.

The evil woman disliked the girl, beat her, scolded her, and only thought about how to completely destroy her.

One day the father left somewhere, and the stepmother said to the girl:

- Go to my sister, your aunt, ask her for a needle and thread - to sew you a shirt.

And this aunt was Baba Yaga, the bone leg. The girl didn’t dare refuse, she went and first went to see her own aunt.

- Hello, auntie!

- Hello, darling! Why did you come?

“My stepmother sent me to her sister to ask for a needle and thread—she wants to sew me a shirt.”

“It’s good, niece, that you came to me first,” says the aunt. “Here’s some ribbon, butter, some bread and a piece of meat.” If a birch tree hits you in the eye, you tie it with a ribbon; the gates will creak and slam, holding you back - you pour oil under their heels; If the dogs tear you up, throw them some bread; If the cat tears your eyes out, give him some meat.

The girl thanked her aunt and left.

She walked and walked and came to the forest. There is a hut in the forest behind a high tine on chicken legs, on ram horns, and in the hut sits a Baba Yaga, with a bone leg weaving canvas.

- Hello, auntie! - says the girl.

- Hello, niece! - says Baba Yaga. - What do you need?

“My stepmother sent me to ask you for a needle and thread to sew me a shirt.”

- Okay, niece, I’ll give you a needle and thread, and you sit down while you work!

So the girl sat down by the window and began to weave.

And Baba Yaga came out of the hut and said to her worker:

“I’ll go to bed now, and you go, heat the bathhouse and wash your niece.” Look, wash it thoroughly: when I wake up, I’ll eat it!

The girl heard these words - she sat neither alive nor dead. As Baba Yaga left, she began to ask the worker:

- My dear! You don’t so much set fire to the wood in the stove as fill it with water, and carry the water in a sieve! - And I gave her a handkerchief.

The worker was heating the bathhouse, and Baba Yaga woke up, went to the window and asked:

“Are you weaving, niece, are you weaving, dear?”

- Weave, auntie, weave, dear!

Baba Yaga went to bed again, and the girl gave the cat some meat and asked:

- Brother cat, teach me how to escape from here.

Cat says:

“There’s a towel and a comb on the table, take them and run quickly: otherwise Baba Yaga will eat them!” Baba Yaga will chase you - put your ear to the ground. When you hear that she is close, throw a comb and a dense, dense forest will grow. While she is making her way through the forest, you will run far away. And if you hear the chase again, throw in the towel: a wide and deep river will overflow.

- Thank you, brother cat! - says the girl.

She thanked the cat, took a towel and comb and ran.

The dogs rushed at her, wanted to tear her, bite her, - she gave them bread. The dogs missed her.

The gate creaked and was about to slam shut, but the girl poured oil under their heels. They missed her. The birch tree made a noise and wanted to quilt its eyes; the girl tied it up with a ribbon. The birch tree let her through. The girl ran out and ran as fast as she could. He runs and doesn't look back.

Meanwhile, the cat sat down by the window and began to weave. It doesn't so much weave as it confuses!

Baba Yaga woke up and asked:

“Are you weaving, niece, are you weaving, dear?”

And the cat answered her:

- Weave, auntie, weave, dear!

Baba Yaga rushed into the hut and saw that the girl was gone, and the cat was sitting, weaving.

Baba Yaga began to beat and scold the cat:

- Oh, you old rogue! Oh, you villain! Why did you let the girl out? Why didn't he rip her eyes out? Why didn't you scratch your face?..

And the cat answered her:

“I’ve been serving you for so many years, you didn’t throw me a gnawed bone, but she gave me some meat!”

Baba Yaga ran out of the hut and attacked the dogs:

- Why didn’t they tear the girl, why didn’t they bite her?..

The dogs tell her:

“We’ve been serving you for so many years, you didn’t throw us a burnt crust, but she gave us some bread!”

Baba Yaga ran up to the gate:

- Why didn’t they creak, why didn’t they clap? Why was the girl released from the yard?..

Gate says:

“We’ve been serving you for so many years, you didn’t even pour water under our heels, but she didn’t spare us the butter!”

Baba Yaga jumped up to the birch tree:

“Why didn’t you quilt the girl’s eyes?”

Birch answers her:

“I’ve been serving you for so many years, you didn’t tie a thread around me, but she gave me a ribbon!”

Baba Yaga began to scold the worker:

“Why didn’t you, so-and-so, wake me up or call me?” Why did you let her out?..

The worker says:

“I’ve been serving you for so many years, I’ve never heard a kind word from you, but she gave me a handkerchief and spoke kindly and kindly to me!”

Baba Yaga shouted, made some noise, then sat down in the mortar and rushed off in pursuit.

He chases with a pestle, covers the trail with a broom...

And the girl ran and ran, stopped, put her ear to the ground and heard: the earth was trembling, shaking - Baba Yaga was chasing, and very close...

The girl took out a comb and threw it over her right shoulder. A forest has grown here, dense and tall: the roots of the trees go three fathoms underground, the tops are supported by clouds.

Baba Yaga rushed in and began to gnaw and destroy the forest. She gnaws and breaks, and the girl runs on.

How much time has passed, the girl put her ear to the ground and hears: the earth is trembling, shaking - Baba Yaga is chasing, very close.

The girl took the towel and threw it over her right shoulder.

At that same moment the river overflowed - wide, very wide, deep, very deep!

Baba Yaga jumped up to the river and gnashed her teeth with anger - she couldn’t get across the river.

She returned home, gathered her bulls and drove them to the river:

- Drink, my bulls! Drink the whole river to the bottom!

The bulls began to drink, but the water in the river did not decrease.

Baba Yaga got angry, lay down on the shore, and began to drink water herself. She drank, drank, drank, drank, until she burst.

Meanwhile, the girl just keeps running and running.

In the evening the father returned home and asked his wife:

- Where is my daughter?

Baba says:

“She went to her aunt to ask for a needle and thread, but for some reason she was delayed.”

The father became worried, he wanted to go look for his daughter, but the daughter ran home, out of breath, and couldn’t catch her breath.

- Where have you been, daughter? - asks the father.

- Oh, father! - the girl answers. “My stepmother sent me to her sister, and her sister is Baba Yaga, the bone leg.” She wanted to eat me. I ran away from her by force!

When the father found out all this, he became angry with the evil woman and drove her out of the house with a dirty broom. And he began to live together with his daughter, amicably and well.

In a certain kingdom, in a glorious state, near an ancient river, near a large village there stood a dense forest. There were mushrooms and berries there, apparently and invisibly, but the local residents were not at all happy about it, because an old hag, the evil Yaga, lived in the thicket of that forest. She was greedy beyond measure and did not allow anyone to set foot in the forest: some would be led into a quagmire, others would be completely destroyed.

One day in the summer, during the berry season, she decided to enjoy strawberries, but bad luck: the berries didn’t want to go into old Yaga’s basket, they hid under the leaves and hid in the grass. Baba Yaga grumbles and gets angry, but you can’t look under every leaf, you can’t bow to every bush.

At the same time, a little girl was walking through the forest. It was still dark when I left the house to pick a basket of berries and feed myself a little. The berries are on display for her:

Here we are, take us quickly!

The girl ate her fill of berries, filled her basket full, and was about to go home when Baba Yaga met her, grabbed her with her stick, and hissed:

That's why I didn't get a single berry! You collected them all!

She took the basket from the girl and went to her hut, rejoicing at the unexpected booty. And the girl sat down on a tree stump and cried bitterly from resentment.

Baba Yaga is walking, swinging her basket, and the berries from there jump and jump onto the grass, jump and jump, so everyone jumps out and rolls back to the clearing.

The girl sits, sobs pitifully and suddenly hears from the grass:

Get your handkerchief ready, honey!

She took off her scarf, spread it in front of her, and the berries rolled there. The girl tied them into a bundle and ran home joyfully. And Baba Yaga came to her hut, and lo and behold, there were no berries! One smell remained. She threw the basket in her heart, shook, stamped her feet:

Ah-ah-ah! So that you have no bottom, no tires!

She swore and swore, and burst out of anger, and with such a crash and roar that her hut crumbled along with her. And a swamp appeared in this place, and along its edges many berry bushes grew, where the village children feast on ripe strawberries every year.

Baba Yaga and the Berries is a Russian folk tale about the evil Yaga, who did not let anyone into the forest. The children could not pick mushrooms or berries in the forest; the greedy Baba Yaga tormented everyone. Well, she once decided to pick some strawberries, but the berries are hidden from her under the leaves, out of the hands of the evil Yaga. At that time, the little girl was walking in the forest, so the berries were drawn straight to her and rushed into the basket. Yaga got angry and took the basket of strawberries from the girl. The girl grieved, cried very bitterly, but the berries ran away from Baba Yaga and returned to the girl, and Yaga herself burst from anger.

Once upon a time there lived a husband and wife, and they had a daughter. The wife fell ill and died. The man grieved and grieved and married someone else.

The evil woman disliked the girl, beat her, scolded her, and only thought about how to completely destroy her.

“My stepmother sent me to ask you for a needle and thread to sew me a shirt.”

- Okay, niece, I’ll give you a needle and thread, and you sit down while you work!

So the girl sat down by the window and began to weave.

And Baba Yaga came out of the hut and said to her worker:

- Weave, auntie, weave, dear!

Baba Yaga went to bed again, and the girl gave the cat some meat and asked:

- Brother cat, teach me how to escape from here.

Cat says:

“There’s a towel and a comb on the table, take them and run quickly: otherwise Baba Yaga will eat them!” Baba Yaga will chase you - put your ear to the ground. When you hear that she is close, throw a comb and a dense, dense forest will grow. While she is making her way through the forest, you will run far away. And if you hear the chase again, throw in the towel: a wide and deep river will overflow.

There lived a grandfather and a woman; Grandfather became a widower and married another wife, and he still had a girl from his first wife. The evil stepmother did not like her, beat her and thought about how to completely destroy her.

Since the father has gone somewhere, the stepmother says to the girl:

Go to your aunt, my sister, ask her for a needle and thread - to sew you a shirt.

And this aunt was Baba Yaga bone leg.

The girl wasn’t stupid, but she went to see her own aunt first.

Hello, auntie!

Hello, darling! Why did you come?

Mother sent to her sister to ask for a needle and thread to sew a shirt for me. She teaches her:

There, niece, a birch tree will whip you in the eyes - you tie it with a ribbon; there the gates will creak and slam for you - you pour oil under their heels; there the dogs will tear you apart - you throw them some bread; There the cat will scratch your eyes - give him some ham. The girl went; here she comes, she comes and she has come. There is a hut, and Baba Yaga sits in it with a bone leg and weaves.

Hello, auntie!

Hello, darling!

My mother sent me to ask you for a needle and thread to sew me a shirt.

Okay: sit down while you weave.

So the girl sat down at the crown, and Baba Yaga came out and said to her worker:

Go, heat the bathhouse and wash your niece, and look, it’s good; I want to have breakfast with her.

The girl sits neither alive nor dead, all frightened, and she asks the worker:

My dear! You don’t so much set fire to the wood as fill it with water, carry the water with a sieve,” and she gave her a handkerchief.

Baba Yaga is waiting; she went to the window and asked:

Weave, auntie, weave, dear!

Baba Yaga walked away, and the girl gave the cat some ham and asked:

Is there any way to get out of here?

Here’s a comb and a towel for you,” says the cat, “take them and run, run quickly; Baba Yaga will chase you, put your ear to the ground and, when you hear that she is close, first throw in a towel - a wide river will form; If Baba Yaga crosses the river and begins to catch up with you, you will again lay your ear to the ground and, when you hear that she is close, throw a comb - it will become a dense forest, she will no longer get through it!

The girl took a towel and a comb and ran; the dogs wanted to tear her apart - she threw them some bread, and they let her through; the gate wanted to slam shut - she poured butter under their heels, and they let her through; The birch tree wanted to quilt her eyes - she tied it with a ribbon, and she let her through. And the cat sat down at the cross and weaved; I didn’t so much mess up as I messed up. Baba Yaga came to the window and asked:

Are you weaving, niece, are you weaving, dear?

Weave, auntie, weave, dear! - the cat answers rudely. Baba Yaga rushed into the hut, saw that the girl had left, and let’s beat the cat and scold him, why didn’t he scratch out the girl’s eyes?

“I’ve been serving you for as long as I’ve served you,” says the cat, “you didn’t give me a bone, but she gave me a ham.”

Baba Yaga attacked the dogs, the gate, the birch tree and the worker, let’s scold and beat everyone.

The dogs tell her:

As long as we serve you, you didn’t throw us a burnt crust, but she gave us some bread.

Gate says:

As long as we serve you, you haven’t poured water under our heels, but she hasn’t spared us butter. Berezka says:

As long as I serve you, you didn’t tie me up with a thread, but she tied me up with a ribbon. The worker says:

As long as I serve you, you didn’t give me a rag, but she gave me a handkerchief.

Baba Yaga's bone leg quickly sat down on the mortar, pushed with a pusher, covered the trail with a broom, and set off in pursuit of the girl. So the girl bowed her ear to the ground and heard that Baba Yaga was chasing, and was already close, she took and threw in the towel; the river became so wide, so wide! Baba Yaga came to the river and gnashed her teeth in anger; she returned home, took her oxen and drove them to the river; the bulls drank the whole river clean.

Baba Yaga set off in pursuit again. The girl lowered her ear to the ground and heard that Baba Yaga was close and threw her comb; The forest became so dense and scary! Baba Yaga began to gnaw at it, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not gnaw through it and turned back.

And the grandfather has already arrived home and asks:

Where is my daughter?

“She went to her aunt,” says the stepmother. A little later the girl came running home.

Where have you been? - asks the father.

Ah, father! - she says. - So and so - my mother sent me to my aunt to ask for a needle and thread - to sew a shirt for me, and my aunt, Baba Yaga, wanted to eat me.

How did you leave, daughter?

“So and so,” says the girl.

When the grandfather found out all this, he became angry with his wife and kicked her out; and he and his daughter began to live and live and make good things, and I was there, drinking mead and beer; It flowed down my mustache but didn’t get into my mouth.
