What is the piglet's name. Hryun knows him

Fairy tale Three Little Pigs, translation by S. Marshak

There were three little pigs in the world. Three brothers. All the same height
round, pink, with the same cheerful ponytails.
Even their names were similar. The piglets were called: Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf and
Naf-naf. All summer they tumbled in the green grass, basking in the sun,
basked in the puddles.
But now autumn has come.
The sun was no longer so hot, gray clouds stretched over
yellowed forest.
“It’s time for us to think about winter,” Naf-Naf once said to his brothers,
waking up early in the morning. - I'm shivering from the cold. We may catch a cold.
Let's build a house and winter together under one warm roof.
But his brothers did not want to take the job. Much nicer in
the last warm days to walk and jump in the meadow than to dig the ground and drag
heavy stones.
- Success! Winter is still far away. We will take a walk, - said Nif-Nif and
rolled over his head.
“When it is necessary, I will build myself a house,” said Nuf-Nuf and lay down in
puddle
- Me too, - added Nif-Nif.
- Well, as you wish. Then I will build my own house, - said Naf-Naf.
- I won't wait for you.
Every day it got colder and colder.
But Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were in no hurry. They didn't even want to think about work.
They were idle from morning to evening. All they did was play their
pig games, jumping and somersaulting.
“Today we will still take a walk,” they said, “and tomorrow in the morning we will take
for the cause.
But the next day they said the same thing.
And only when a large puddle by the road began to cover in the morning
thin crust of ice, the lazy brothers finally set to work.
Nif-Nif decided that it was easier and most likely to make a house out of straw. Neither with
without consulting anyone, he did so. By evening, his hut was
ready.
Nif-Nif put the last straw on the roof and, very pleased with his
house, sang merrily:

Even if you go around half the world,
You'll get around, you'll get around
You won't find a better home
You won't find it, you won't find it!

Singing this song, he went to Nuf-Nuf.
Nuf-Nuf, not far away, also built a house for himself.
He tried to finish this boring and uninteresting business as soon as possible.
At first, like his brother, he wanted to build a house out of straw. But after
I decided that in such a house it would be very cold in winter. The house will be stronger and
warmer if it is built from branches and thin rods.
And so he did.
He drove stakes into the ground, intertwined them with rods, piled dry
leaves, and by evening the house was ready.
Nuf-Nuf proudly walked around him several times and sang:

I have a good house
New home, solid home,
I'm not afraid of rain and thunder
Rain and thunder, rain and thunder!

Before he could finish the song, Nif-Nif ran out from behind a bush.
- Well, here is your house ready! - said Nif-Nif brother. - I said that we
and we'll do it alone! Now we are free and we can do whatever
we would like!
- Let's go to Naf-Naf and see what kind of house he built for himself! - said
Nuf-nuf. - We haven't seen him for a long time!
- Let's go see! - agreed Nif-Nif.
And both brothers, very satisfied with that that they don't need anything else
take care, hid behind the bushes.
Naf-Naf has been busy building for several days now. He coached
stones, kneaded clay, and now slowly built himself a reliable, durable house, in
which could be sheltered from wind, rain and frost.
He made a heavy oak door with a bolt in the house so that the wolf would
neighboring forest could not climb to it.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf found their brother at work.
- What are you building? - in one voice shouted the surprised Nif-Nif and
Nuf-nuf. - What is it, a house for a piglet or a fortress?
- The pig's house should be a fortress! - calmly answered them Naf-Naf,
continuing to work.
- Are you going to fight with someone? - cheerfully grunted Nif-Nif
and winked at Nuf-Nuf.
And both brothers were so merry that their squealing and grunting carried far
across the lawn.
And Naf-Naf, as if nothing had happened, continued to lay the stone wall of his
at home, humming a song under his breath:

Of course, I'm smarter than everyone
Smarter than everyone, smarter than everyone!
I build a house from stones
From stones, from stones!
No animal in the world

Won't break through that door
Through this door, through this door!

What animal is he talking about? - asked Nif-Nif from Nuf-Nuf.
- What animal are you talking about? - Nuf-Nuf asked Naf-Naf.
- I'm talking about the wolf! - answered Naf-Naf and laid another stone.
- Look how afraid he is of the wolf! - said Nif-Nif.
- He's afraid of being eaten! - added Nuf-Nuf.
And the brothers cheered even more.
- What kind of wolves can be here? - said Nif-Nif.
- There are no wolves! He's just a coward! - added Nuf-Nuf.
And they both began to dance and sing:

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

They wanted to tease Naf-Naf, but he didn't even turn around.
- Let's go, Nuf-Nuf, - said then Nif-Nif. - We have nothing to do here!
And two brave brothers went for a walk.
On the way they sang and danced, and when they entered the forest, they made such a noise,
that they woke up the wolf, who was sleeping under the pine tree.
- What's that noise? - An angry and hungry wolf grumbled displeasedly and galloped to
the place from which came the squealing and grunting of two small, stupid
piglets.
- Nu, what here can be wolves! - said at this time Nif-Nif,
who saw wolves only in pictures.
- Here we will grab him by the nose, he will know! - added Nuf-Nuf, who
I have never seen a live wolf either.
- Let's knock down, and even tie, and even with a foot like this, like this! - boasted
Nif-Nif and showed how they would deal with the wolf.
And the brothers rejoiced again and sang:

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

And suddenly they saw a real live wolf!
He was standing behind a big tree, and he had such a scary look, such
evil eyes and such a toothy mouth that Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf have their backs
a chill ran through and thin ponytails trembled finely.
The poor pigs couldn't even move for fear.
The wolf prepared to jump, clicked his teeth, blinked his right eye, but
the piglets suddenly came to their senses and, squealing throughout the forest, rushed to their heels.
They have never run so fast before!
Sparkling with their heels and raising clouds of dust, the piglets rushed each to their own.
home.
Nif-Nif was the first to reach his thatched hut and barely managed to
slam the door in front of the wolf's nose.
- Open the door now! the wolf growled. - Otherwise, I'll break it!
- No, - grunted Nif-Nif, - I won't unlock it!
Outside the door, the breath of a terrible beast was heard.
- Open the door now! the wolf growled again. - Otherwise, I will blow like that,
that your whole house will shatter!
But Nif-Nif from fear could no longer answer anything.
Then the wolf began to blow: "F-f-f-w-w-w!"
Straws flew from the roof of the house, the walls of the house shook.
The wolf took another deep breath and blew a second time: "F-f-f-u-u-u!"
When the wolf blew for the third time, the house flew in all directions, as if
a hurricane hit him.
The wolf snapped his teeth in front of the little piglet's snout. But
Nif-Nif deftly dodged and rushed to run. A minute later he was at the door.
Nuf-nufa.
As soon as the brothers had time to lock themselves, they heard the voice of the wolf:
- Well, now I'll eat you both!
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf looked at each other in fear. But the wolf is very
tired and therefore decided to go to the trick.
- I changed my mind! - he said so loudly that he could be heard in the house. - I
I won't eat those skinny piglets! I better go home!
- You heard? - asked Nif-Nif from Nuf-Nuf. - He said he wouldn't.
we have! We are skinny!
- This is very good! - Nuf-Nuf said and immediately stopped trembling.
The brothers became cheerful, and they sang as if nothing had happened:

We are not afraid of the gray wolf,
Gray wolf, gray wolf!
Where do you go, stupid wolf,
Old wolf, dire wolf?

And the wolf did not think to go anywhere. He just stepped aside and
hid. He was very funny. He could hardly restrain himself from
laugh. How cleverly he deceived two stupid little pigs!
When the piglets were completely calm, the wolf took the sheepskin and carefully
crept up to the house. oskazkax.ru - oskazkax.ru
At the door, he covered himself with skin and knocked softly.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf were very frightened when they heard a knock.
- Who's there? they asked, their tails shaking again.
- It's me-me-me - poor little sheep! - in a thin, alien voice squeaked
wolf. - Let me spend the night, I strayed from the herd and very tired!
- Let me go? - the kind Nif-Nif asked his brother.
- You can let the sheep go! - Nuf-Nuf agreed. - A sheep is not a wolf!
But when the pigs opened the door, they saw not a lamb, but all that
or a toothy wolf. The brothers slammed the door and leaned on it with all their might,
so that the terrible beast could not break into them.
The wolf got very angry. He failed to outsmart the pigs! He dropped
off his sheepskin and growled:
- Well, wait a minute! There will be nothing left of this house!
And he began to blow. The house leaned a little. The wolf blew a second, then
a third, then a fourth time.
Leaves flew off the roof, the walls shook, but the house still stood.
And, only when the wolf blew for the fifth time, the house staggered and collapsed.
Only one door still stood for some time in the middle of the ruins.
In horror, the pigs rushed to run. From fear, their legs were taken away,
every bristle trembled, noses were dry. The brothers rushed to the house of Naf-Naf.
The wolf caught up with them with huge leaps. Once he almost grabbed
Nif-Nifa by the back leg, but he pulled it back in time and added speed.
The wolf stepped up too. He was sure that this time the pigs from him were not
run away.
But again, he was out of luck.
The piglets quickly rushed past a large apple tree without even hitting it. A
the wolf did not have time to turn and ran into an apple tree, which showered him with apples.
One hard apple hit him between the eyes. A big shot jumped up at the wolf
on the forehead.
And Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf, neither alive nor dead, ran up to the house at that time
Naf-nafa.
The brother quickly let them into the house. The poor pigs were so scared that
they couldn't say anything. They silently rushed under the bed and hid there.
Naf-Naf immediately guessed that a wolf was chasing them. But he had nothing to fear
in his stone house. He quickly closed the door with a bolt, sat down on
stool and sang loudly:

No animal in the world
Cunning beast, terrible beast,
Won't open this door
This door, this door!

But just then there was a knock on the door.
- Who knocks? - Naf-Naf asked in a calm voice.
- Open without talking! - resounded rough voice wolf.
- No matter how! And I don't think so! - Naf-Naf answered in a firm voice.
- Ah well! Well, hold on! Now I'll eat all three!
- Try! - answered Naf-Naf from behind the door, without even getting up with his
stools.
He knew that he and his brothers had nothing to fear in a solid stone house.
Then the wolf sucked in more air and blew as best he could!
But no matter how much he blows, not even the smallest stone
moved out of place.
The wolf turned blue from the effort.
The house stood like a fortress. Then the wolf began to shake the door. But the door is not
succumbed.
The wolf, out of anger, began to scratch the walls of the house with its claws and gnaw stones, from
which they were folded, but he only broke off his claws and ruined his teeth.
The hungry and angry wolf had no choice but to get out.
But then he raised his head and suddenly noticed a large, wide pipe on
roof.
- Yeah! Through this pipe I will make my way into the house! - the wolf rejoiced.
He carefully climbed onto the roof and listened. The house was quiet.
"I'm still going to have a bite of fresh pig today!" thought the wolf and
licking his lips, climbed into the pipe.
But, as soon as he began to descend the pipe, the piglets heard a rustle. A
when soot began to pour on the lid of the boiler, smart Naf-Naf immediately guessed that
than the case.
He quickly rushed to the cauldron, in which water was boiling on the fire, and tore off
cover it.
- Welcome! - said Naf-Naf and winked at his brothers.
Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf have already completely calmed down and, smiling happily,
looked at their smart and brave brother.
The piglets didn't have to wait long. Black as a chimney sweep, wolf
splashed right into the boiling water.
He had never been in such pain before!
His eyes popped out on his forehead, all his hair stood on end.
With a wild roar, the scalded wolf flew up the chimney back to the roof,
rolled down it to the ground, rolled over four times over his head, rode
on his tail past the locked door and rushed into the woods.
And three brothers, three little pigs, looked after him and rejoiced,
that they so cleverly taught the evil robber a lesson.
And then they sang their cheerful song:

Even if you go around half the world,
You'll get around, you'll get around
You won't find a better home
You won't find it, you won't find it!

No animal in the world
Cunning beast, terrible beast,
Won't open this door
This door, this door!

The wolf from the forest never
Never ever
Won't come back to us here
To us here, to us here!

Since then, the brothers began to live together, under the same roof.
That's all we know about the three little pigs - Nif-Nifa, Nuf-Nufa
and Naf Nafa.

In this article, we will try to figure out how to name a piglet so that the name reflects the character, habits, habits and appearance of the pet as accurately as possible. In fact, pigs are very funny animals. And let them not purr like cats, but they give a lot of positive emotions to their owners. Be sure to come up with a suitable nickname for your pet. He will quickly remember her and begin to respond to the call of the owners.

Suitable and unsuitable options

If dwarf mini-pigs are most often bred for the home, then thousands of pigs are raised on large-scale livestock complexes in order to obtain meat. It is quite natural that the names of each individual are not given there. There are often limited numbers.

However, breeding sows and boars always have their own nickname. Since these selected members of the swine family are usually the best examples of the breed, they are given the same majestic nicknames. For example, Gioconda, Juliet, Confucius, Socrates, Baron, Napoleon. Often thoroughbred tribal representatives are called in English. For example, Dakota or Eddie.

But there are also a number of restrictions for pig names associated with ethical standards, religion and superstition. In France, for example, naming pigs after Napoleon is prohibited by law.

Thinking about how to name a pig, you should immediately discard human names. Under an unspoken ban are the names of relatives, family members and close friends. Piglet Vaska is cute, but there was or is Vasily in the family, who has his patron saints. Thus, the rash selection of a nickname can serve as an insult. If you look at the rules mother tongue, we can recall that there is a clear division of names into anthroponyms (for people) and zoonyms (for animals).

The nickname of a piglet can reflect the features of his appearance - Chernysh, Lokhmach and the like. You can also build on the habits of the animal. A lover of chewing everything can be called a Rodent, and a pig with an excellent appetite - Glutton.

Choosing a nickname depending on the sex of the animal

Many owners of charming mini-pigs assure that they did not have to puzzle over the nickname for a long time. The decision came by itself at the first glance at the new pet. A tiny pink female piglet can be called Tiny Khavroshka, and as she grows up, the nickname easily transforms into a more appropriate option - Krosha.

Other names are also suitable for piglets, emphasizing the degree of their cute appearance - Bow, Fantik, Marshmallow, Jelly. You can remember the heroes of your favorite cartoons - Peppa, Piggy, Funtik, Piglet.

For older and important representatives of the pig family, the following nicknames are well suited - Bourgeois, Count, Countess, Princess.

Let's decide where to get inspiration when choosing a nickname for a pig. There are a lot of search areas for a suitable option:

• space - names of planets, stars, comets;
• cartoons and fairy tales (thus your favorite hero will always be there);
• advertising - funny brand names and favorite products can also be suitable as a name for a pet;
• books - everything is the same here, as in the case of cartoons and films;
• science - the names of great scientists or famous historical figures.

Simple names are better than complex ones

Everyone who called their pet after the plan of Abu Ali ibn Hussein had difficulty remembering it. If you give a pig a name in English, choosing a difficult nickname for it, then this will also be difficult in Everyday life, and this situation will end with a reduction for a more convenient option.

But, since the pigs do not divide the language into “ours” and “alien” (foreign), calling them in English does not mean acting unreasonably. It is worth considering whether it will be convenient for all family members to often call by the name of a pet. For girls, nicknames such as Peppa or Babe are suitable, for boys - John, Jack. If you want to give the pig a nickname in English, then the Pig option (pig), which means “pig”, will be ideal and suitable.

It is not at all necessary for them to strictly follow the rules, because creativity and originality in this matter are only welcome.

In the middle of the last century, the famous child psychotherapist and the psychoanalyst Bruno Bettelheim wrote the book On the Benefits of Magic, which interprets the plots of European folk tales. In particular, the English fairy tale "Three Little Pigs" ("Three Little Pigs").

Three little pigs, according to Bettelheim, symbolize different stages child development.

The life of a small child, according to the ideas of psychoanalysts, is subject to the principle of pleasure: I strive for what gives me pleasure. Getting pleasure is the main driving stimulus of life. At the same time, I demand pleasure immediately and do not understand, do not accept any delay in receiving pleasure.

With age, this principle of existence must be replaced by another: the child must learn to act on the principle of reality. Each of us wants to enjoy life. But the satisfaction of our desires may not always be instantaneous. Moreover, most often it is delayed. And, striving for pleasure, we must reckon with circumstances and with other people. Pleasure is not given to us just like that: in order to enjoy it, you need to make an effort.

It is about this difficult transition from the principle of pleasure to the principle of reality, according to Bruno Bettelheim, that the fairy tale "Three Little Pigs" tells.

Two younger pigs build their house from fragile materials: one from straw, the other from twigs. Both try to spend as little time and energy on this activity as possible and leave it at the first opportunity - to play. Two little pigs do not want (cannot) think about the future, about possible dangers. The main thing in their life is the momentary and quick satisfaction of emerging desires. True, the tale notes that the second piglet is still trying to build a house from something more solid than the younger one - there are signs of growing up! But they are not yet sufficiently expressed.

Only the third, oldest, piglet can already restrain his desires, can postpone the game for the sake of business. He is able to foresee the future and possible dangers. The older pig is even able to predict the behavior of the wolf. The wolf is an enemy, an insidious stranger who wants to seduce the pig, lure him into a trap. The wolf personifies everything asocial and unconscious and therefore has a terrible destructive power.

But the little pig is able to resist him - as our consciousness is able to resist our own unconscious impulses. The piglet, with its reasonable, conscious actions, frustrates the plans of the enemy, far superior to him in ferocity and cruelty.

In each of us, says Bettelheim, live a wolf and a pig. And our psyche is the place of their competition in strength. The fairy tale informs the child about this in a figurative, fascinating form.

The actions of the piglets and the wolf are described tensely and dynamically: here the piglet is running away from the wolf, the wolf is chasing him. Here is a pig hiding in a house. The wolf puffs out his cheeks, blows, destroys the fragile pig house... All actions are understandable to the child, everything is imaginable - including the actions of the wolf. After all, the baby knows from his own experience what it means to destroy houses (for example, houses made of cubes). Therefore, he follows what is happening with awe and delight.

In an English folk tale, an evil wolf not only destroys a straw house, but also eats its owner - the first pig. Then he destroys the house of branches and eats the second pig. Only the third piglet manages to escape. Bettelheim believes that the defeat and disappearance of the first two piglets in the perception of the child is compensated by the fate of the third piglet: the first two, younger piglets must certainly disappear, as they represent the two early stages of development that the child must overcome.

The third pig is perceived by the child as a successful transformation of the first two: if we want to rise to a higher level of development, we must part with early forms behavior. The fact that the pigs in the folk tale do not have names helps the child to identify them with each other - and with himself. And "save" from the wolf in the form of the third pig.

The wolf fails to eat the third piglet. This piglet - due to the fact that he is smarter and more mature than the first two - knows how to defend himself from the enemy. For the child listener, this is a comforting prospect: growing up is not bad at all.

True, in English fairy tale a solid house does not give an absolute sense of security: the wolf does not stop trying to eat the pig. He knows that the piglet is greedy for tasty things, and he tries to lure him out of the safe stone house: first he invites him to go to the garden where the turnip has grown (and the owner is away), then to the garden where the apples have ripened, and finally to the fair, where there are a lot of temptations. But the piglet does not give in. He unravels the wolf's tricks and each time manages to get ahead of the wolf.

Unable to deceive the pig, the wolf decides to climb into his house through the pipe. He expects that the pig does not suspect anything and calmly went to bed. But he guesses about the intrigues of the wolf, melts the fireplace at an inopportune time and puts a cauldron of boiling water on fire. The wolf that climbed into the chimney falls into this cauldron. The pig tightly closes the cauldron with a lid, and the wolf turns ... into boiled meat for the pig. Piglet, tying a napkin around his neck and armed with a knife and fork, dine on wolf meat. (There is nothing incredible about this, given that pigs are omnivores.)

Bettelheim argues that children perceive such an ending as a happy one. After all, the wolf had eaten two little pigs before. When he himself becomes food for the piglet, this is just retribution. The child agrees with such punishment. After all, the wolf is definitely bad. Moreover, the wolf personifies the bad that exists in the child himself. After all, a small child is familiar with the desire to destroy (as already mentioned, he watches the wolf with mixed feelings when he destroys the piglets' houses). But even Small child from some moment he is already able to feel: such a desire can turn into trouble for the destroyer. This feeling, this “guess”, the tale of the three little pigs confirms: one cannot be a greedy “devourer”.

The fairy tale "Three Little Pigs" makes the child think about his behavior, but does it gradually, without any moralizing. The child is given the opportunity to draw his own conclusions. “Only such a position contributes to the proper maturation of the child. To tell him directly how to behave means to burden the fetters of childish immaturity with the slavish fetters of the dictates of adults, ”writes Bettelheim.

Therefore, it is necessary to speak with the child in the language of a fairy tale, and not in the language of moralizing.

***
The Soviet child was not familiar with the variant of the fairy tale, which Bruno Bettelheim analyzed in such detail. The "classic" version known to us belongs to Sergei Mikhalkov and is called "The Three Little Pigs". And this is a completely different story.

The piglets have names: Nif-Nif, Nuf-Nuf and Naf-Naf. And this author's decision leads to a semantic shift and a change in the plot.

Pigs that have names also have characters. The author - albeit in a few words - reports that Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf are frivolous and love to play. And Naf-Naf is serious and hardworking. That is, Mikhalkov's piglets have individuality. Compared to them, the piglets from the folk tale are "under-incarnated" shadows. But it is precisely because of this non-incarnation that they can "merge" with each other in the child's imagination. That is why their disappearance is not a tragedy for the reader. And the child easily (as it seems to Bettelheim) should switch to the third pig, with which he is identified. Moreover, in the disappearance of the first two pigs, as already mentioned, there is a deep meaning.

But letting a wolf eat a pig with a name and character is completely impossible - even if the pig is misbehaving. If the wolf in Mikhalkov's fairy tale swallowed a piglet, this would be perceived not as a logical consequence of unreasonable behavior, but as cruel treatment an adult with a child (a pig is a small child; a wolf is an adult, big and strong, who punishes the child). After all, the child-listener also often behaves badly or incorrectly. Is that what they eat? And in a fairy tale, moreover, bad behavior lies in the fact that piglets want to play - that is, they do what is characteristic of a child and what is organic for him. Such a turn of events would be truly terrible. And it is unlikely that the child found the strength to perceive the tale as instructive: the image of cruelty has the property of capturing attention, fixing it on itself - that is, it is a very strong experience that obscures everything else.

Therefore, there is something terrible in the fairy tale (the wolf is still terrible), but it is weakened. The wolf never achieves its goal and in the end suffers a complete defeat, falling into the cauldron. However, here the author follows the principle of humanism: the scalded wolf safely jumps out of the cauldron and runs into the forest. The main result of the struggle: the wolf no longer annoys the piglets. About the pigs, it is reported that they understood everything, were re-educated and began to live together. Absolutely happy ending.

In terms of philosophy author's fairy tale in comparison with folk obviously loses in depth. But in this case, if necessary, we can easily answer the disgusting school question What is the story about and what does it teach? The answer is on the surface: you need to be hardworking, diligent, positive - like a pig Naf-Naf. In general, labor created man, and even a pig can do something decent.

***
But put before us two versions of a fairy tale - folk and Mikhalkov's - which one will we choose for today's child?

I personally - Mikhalkovsky. With all my reverent attitude towards Bettelheim. Moreover, Bettelheim's book for me is a textbook on understanding fairy-tale material and the ability to measure it with the child's psyche.

For a child of two and a half - three years old, I will choose the Mikhalkov version, where funny piglets are described so colorfully and vividly; where they, having defeated the wolf, do not eat it, but sing a song. I think english folk tale It was originally addressed not to small children, but to adults. When did she enter the circle? children's reading, it was also not about babies, but about children who have reached at least five or even six years of age - the period when, on the one hand, the idea of ​​the principle of reality becomes relevant, and on the other, there is a request for terrible fairy tales.

The shift that Sergey Mikhalkov made allowed the fairy tale about piglets to descend to the lower age floor. The story has been redirected. Now it is best to read it to three-year-olds. And three-year-olds will most safely ignore the moralism of the Soviet version. For them - people with psychomotor intelligence and cognizing the world through movement - it is important that there are many exciting actions in the fairy tale. Pigs play, build houses, run away from the wolf, hide; the wolf breaks houses, climbs somewhere, falls somewhere and also runs away - and all this is recognizable, interesting, dynamic. This is a real adventure story, a thriller for the little ones. And a happy ending - an unconditional happy ending - is another confirmation of the stability of the world. No creature that has a name should disappear from it. No play-loving pig.

And I will also choose the Mikhalkov version for the very individualization of images that the author carried out when retelling a folk tale.

Folklore can be considered the soil from which literature in general and children's literature in particular grew (K. Chukovsky and S. Marshak brilliantly proved this in their time). But modern literature cannot but take into account the new psychological needs of the reader. And these requests are connected with the awareness of one's own separateness, individuality and its value. Therefore, endowing the characters with individual characteristics and characters is the main trend in the development of a fairy tale in the 20th century.

As for the folk tale, it seems to me that it would be correct and interesting to offer it for comparison with the Mikhalkov version for children of nine or ten years old. Why not an introduction to literary criticism?

She stood on the closet and looked at everything from top to bottom - "after all, she could buy all this, and such a thought will give anyone self-confidence."
