And now the soul is a girl. Chukovsky K.I.'s poem “Fly-Tsokotukha. We Didn't Spot a Beetle - Agnia Barto

"Fly-Tsokotukha" is a fairy tale by Korney Chukovsky, which has been loved by both children and adults for many years. Sometimes the work is also called "Mukhina's wedding". It tells an interesting story from the life of a little fly that found a coin on a walk, bought a samovar in honor of this and invited all the insects to tea. However, in the midst of the holiday, the "birthday girl" was kidnapped by a spider. None of the guests tries to help the hostess in trouble, Little Komarik is in a hurry to rescue her, after which he marries Fly. The tale teaches that friends are known in trouble, and real courage can be hidden in an inconspicuous-looking creature or person.

Fly, Fly-Tsokotukha,
Gilded Belly!

The fly went across the field,

Fly went to the bazaar
And I bought a samovar:

‘Come cockroaches,
I'll buy you some tea! '

The cockroaches came running
All the glasses drank

And the insects -
Three cups
With milk
And a pretzel:
Today Fly-Tsokotukha
Birthday girl!

Fleas came to Fly,
They brought her boots
And the boots are not simple -
They have gold clasps.

I came to the Fly
Granny bee
Mukhe-Tsokotukhe
I brought honey:

‘Beauty butterfly.
Eat jam!
Or don't you like
Our treat? '

Suddenly some old man
Spider
Our Fly to the corner
Pulling -
He wants to kill the poor
Destroy Tsokotukha!

‘Dear guests, help!
Hack the villainous spider!
And I fed you
And I gave you drink,
Don't leave me
In my last hour! '

But the worm beetles
Scared
In the corners, along the cracks
Dispersed:

Cockroaches
Under the sofas
And the goats
Under the benches
And the insects under the bed -
Do not want to fight!

And no one even from the place
Will not move:
Lost, perish
Birthday girl!

And the grasshopper, and the grasshopper,
Well, just like a little man
Dap, Dap, Dap, Dap!
For the bush,
Under the bridge
And silence!

And the villain is not joking,
He twists his arms and legs with ropes,
Sharp teeth sinks into the heart
And she drinks her blood.

The fly screams,
Tears over
And the villain is silent
He grins.

Suddenly from somewhere flies
Little Komarik,
And it burns in his hand
Small flashlight.

'Where is the killer, where is the villain?
I'm not afraid of his claws! '

Flies up to the Spider,
Takes out a saber
And he at full gallop
Cut off his head!

Takes a fly by the hand
And leads to the window:
‘I hacked the villain,
I set you free
And now, soul maiden,
I want to marry you! '

There are bugs and boogers
Crawling out from under the bench:
'Glory, glory to Komar -
To the winner! '

The fireflies came running
Lit the lights -
It became fun
That's good!

Hey centipedes
Run along the path
Call the musicians
Let's dance!

The musicians came running
The drums rattled.

Boom! bom! bom! bom!
The Fly with the Mosquito is dancing.

And behind her is Bedbug, Bedbug
Top boots, top!

Goats with worms
Insects with moths.
And horned beetles
The men are rich
They wave their hats
They dance with butterflies.

Tara-ra, tara-ra,
The midges danced.

The people are having fun -
Fly is getting married
For the dashing, daring,
Young Mosquito!

Ant, Ant!
He does not regret bast shoes, -
Jumping with Ant
And winks at the insects:

'You little insects
You are cute
Tara-tara-tara-tara-cockroaches! '

Boots creak
The heels are knocking
There will be, there will be midges
Have fun until the morning:
Today Fly-Tsokotukha
Birthday girl!

Note:

The prehistory of the appearance of the fairy tale "Fly-Tsokotukha" is interesting. Once Chukovsky was in an elated, joyful mood, so that he wanted to flap his wings, flutter and fly. It was on this day that he composed a fairy tale about Fly's double holiday - her name day and the subsequent wedding. And in the role of the groom, the author introduced himself. Do not be surprised, Korney Ivanovich was a tall man, he had long arms with large hands, large facial features, a large, curious nose, mustache brushes, a disobedient lock of hair hanging over his forehead and an amazingly light gait. What is not a Mosquito, the savior of the Fly.

Fly, Fly-Tsokotukha,
