SPRING EASTER FAIRY-TALE
A long-awaited spring came to the small forest and reigned over the river. The grass was turning green, the first flowers were blooming, the butterflies were flittering here and there.
“A joyful day arrives,
The bells ring: ding dong,
Over the forest and over the villages
The happy news is in the air "— the birds’ songs were heard throughout the forest.
On Good Friday, before Easter Sunday, the forest animals gathered in the meadow and decided to bake the Easter Cake and celebrate Easter. So, the animals brought from home all the food they had had. The squirrel brought some nuts and raisins. The hare brought some butter. The bear took a bag of flour. The fox provided with some sour cream and milk. The hedgehog shared the fresh eggs.
The forester inhabitants started kneading the dough, but only the gray wolf was annoyed with everything.
- Give me, I'll knead the dough! - shouted the hare.
- No, I will do that, - mumbled the bear.
- Let me try, - said the wolf.
- I'll cope with it better! - insisted the fox.
Finally, all the animals kneaded dough for the Easter Cake, but for some reason it did not go up and did not rise. The animals quarreled even more as there was little time left.
- What a horror! – the birds sang.
- Let's help our friends! – one of the bird exclaimed.
- We will definitely help, – the other birds joined.
The first Bird brought on its little wings Love and added it to the dough. The second bird brought Kindness. The third bird added Harmony. The fourth bird took care of Compassion, and the fifth one warmed the Easter Cake with Warmth.
A bright spring sun came out of the clouds and lit up the forest with warm gentle rays playing with its sunny bunnies.
Having heard about it, the animals rejoiced and immediately forgot all their insults and arguments. They baked a great "sunny" Easter Cake and celebrated Easter. All the forest inhabitants were very happy and joyful!
Everyone who does good is always happy and good at life.
“Joy from heaven is pouring, a gorgeous Easter Cake is welcoming the day!”
