Summary of the tale

Grandfather and grandmother lived and lived. They have lived all their lives without small children. The old woman asks her old man:
- If you walked, grandfather, you would have blinded at least a clay boy. That will be our son. The old man did everything as the woman ordered. Any clay product must be thoroughly dried, sometimes hardened in a fire. The guy was put on a Russian stove, he dried up on a hot stove, got hungry:

- Oh, woman, I would have a milk tub and a crumb of bread!

(Is it really necessary to ask for something? It's impolite! You need to deliver your speech in a calm, quiet voice, add the word "please").

They fed me, and he again for his own, again demands food.

I drank all the milk that the household had, and dwindled the grain supply. There is nothing to regale. The boy, without thinking twice, ate his grandmother, did not disdain with the spinning wheel, ate his grandfather, so he swallowed with a stick and did not choke.

The boy went, went out the gate, met a bull:

- "I ate five humpback bread, five tubs of milk, a spinning wheel and a grandmother, with my grandfather's stick, now I'll take care of you!" He said - and for sure, the bull fit in it! Lumberjacks are caught on the road, and behind the belt there are axes with sharp blades sticking out. The guy got into a conversation, opened up:

- “I ate bread, drank milk - everything is not enough! Baba and grandfather swallowed their own - not enough! A bull by the horns - and there, again, did not eat! But I’m just nourishing on you! ”. So he did, he did not spare anyone. The men waved their scythes, the women threw a rake at him, but that was not the case. A goat was walking along the road. The boy boasts that he ate everything in the neighborhood, and did not pardon everyone he met. Oh, and there was a lot of everyone! Moreover, he also threatened to eat the goat.

(You can't be a boastful person, you don't need to threaten other people.)

The goat did not become silent, offered his help, so that he did not bother himself in vain, and did not waste his strength. All the guy has to do is go down the hill and stand there, and the goat will run to the very top, accelerate well, and go straight into the mouth of the Clay guy. Everything gullible greedy empty-headed guy did as the goat told him. And the horned one ran away well, with all its force hit the horns exactly in the stomach. And the guy was made of clay, so he shattered into small pieces, so the goat saved everyone.

(The goat not only became a savior, he showed ingenuity and used cunning).

A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it ...

With their content, such children's fairy tales help in fostering a sense of rejection of gluttony, unrestrainedness. You need to be grateful to your parents. Be savvy, always try to save other people and animals affected by trouble. Be bold.
