    Geese and Swans is a Russian folk tale.  Analysis of the fairy tale “Geese-swans” Folk tale summary of geese and swans

    Year of writing: unknown

    Genre of the work: fairy tale

    Main characters: Girl- daughter, Boy- younger brother, Swan geese- Baba-Yaga's assistants.

    Plot

    The old man and the old woman were leaving for work. They instructed their daughter to take care of her younger brother and not to leave the yard. For obedience, the girl received a reward - a bun, a new dress and a scarf. The girl forgot the instructions and got lost in play and went outside. The geese - the swans are right there - kidnapped my brother. The girl called the boy crying. Then I realized that it had been stolen. She ran and asked the stove, the apple tree, and the river with its jelly banks where the pests had flown. To answer, you had to eat a pie, an apple, or jelly. She refused. The hedgehog showed the way. Having found the boy from Baba Yaga, the girl took him. Geese and swans chased after them. Then the girl ate what was offered and took advantage of the shelter. I managed to arrive before my parents arrived.

    Conclusion (my opinion)

    You need to be responsible and attentive. By listening to your parents you can avoid difficulties. To get someone's help, you need to do what they say. Goods given are returned.

    Brief summary of the tale

    There lived a family: father, mother, daughter and little son.

    Mom and dad leave home and tell their daughter to take care of her brother. The father and mother left, and the sister began to play, went on a spree and forgot about her brother.


    Geese-swans swooped in and carried away the boy. The girl returned, but her brother was not there. She ran out into an open field and only saw swan geese flying away in the distance. She guessed that they were the ones who took her brother away. The girl rushed to catch up with them. I saw a stove. She asked me to indicate the direction where the geese flew away. But the stove made it a condition to eat her rye pie. The girl refused: I will eat rye pie! My father doesn’t even eat wheat...


    The stove didn't tell her anything. She asked the apple tree she met to tell her where the geese had flown. The apple tree set its condition: eat my forest apple - I’ll tell you. But the girl refused, saying that her father didn’t even eat the garden ones... The apple tree didn’t tell her. The girl ran to a milk river with jelly banks and also asked for help, but refused to fulfill the river’s request to try her simple jelly with milk, saying that her father didn’t even eat cream.


    She ran for a long time through the fields and forests, looking for her brother. In the evening I came across a hut on chicken legs with one window. The hut turns around itself. Baba Yaga lived in a hut, spinning a tow. And my brother was sitting on the bench, playing with silver apples.

    The girl entered the hut, greeted the owner, and when asked why she came, she cheated and replied that she had come in to warm up. Baba Yaga told her to spin the tow, and she left. The girl was spinning, and a mouse ran out from under the stove and asked for porridge, and in return promised to say kind things to the girl. The girl gave her porridge. The mouse told her to quickly take her brother and run away, and the mouse promised her his help: to spin the tow for her, so that Baba Yaga would not immediately guess about the escape. Upon returning, Baba Yaga discovered that the captives had escaped. She ordered the swan geese to fly in pursuit. On the way back, the girl respected the river with its jelly banks, and the apple tree with sour apples, and the stove with rye pies, and everyone helped her, so she ran home, and then the priest and mother came.

    Sister and brother

    In my opinion, the baby - the physical body - was entrusted by the Heavenly parents to the older and more experienced sister - the human soul. Geese perhaps represent the passions of our world, from the smallest to pride and vanity (swans). A small inexperienced child, a man in “leather clothes”, closed from the knowledge of the spiritual world, found himself defenseless in front of them.

    When all the passions of this world captured the child, the soul, an experience of life in other planes of existence, rushed to save him.


    Our body was created here on Earth, and the soul descends into it from the highest planes of existence. The first thing she meets on her way to earth is the mental (mind) body. In it, all our mundane thoughts are “cooked, fried, steamed” - thoughts related to survival in the physical world. They are not of the same quality as those that the soul possesses, but it is necessary to learn to think in earthly categories: our world “mirrors” the heavenly world, here everything is the other way around. The girl-soul did not immediately understand this and in response to the proposal to learn to think: eat rye pies, she proudly replied that her father did not eat wheat ones either. That is, where she came from, she did not want to think in higher categories, much less in mundane ones. The same is true in a conversation with the apple tree; she did not respect the apple tree’s request to eat her forest bitter and sour apple: in our world, oh, there is so much of such taste. The soul is dissatisfied here too, it has renounced the earthly feelings of despondency, suffering, pain, compassion, citing the fact that her father’s garden vegetables, which are tasty and pleasant, are not eaten. She ran to a milk river with jelly banks: slowed down time of the physical world. Milk is fed to infants, that is, those who are still unreasonable and cannot eat solid food. We are not given information from above that we cannot yet digest and assimilate. But the soul knows how to do this, but does not want to: it again showed dissatisfaction, did not respect the river. Well, the river didn’t tell her anything. So she ran to Baba Yaga’s house, where she saw her brother sitting on a bench and playing with silver apples.

    Baba Yaga

    Baba Yaga - perhaps this is the matter of the earth, spinning a tow. From mystics we know that in the worlds from the physical to the mental, ministering spirits - angels create events and connections between people, and earthly energy materializes - manifests them: Baba Yaga. Materialization makes it possible to see the quality of our thoughts: you will recognize them by their deeds.


    Silver apple

    The apple has long been included in the myths of the peoples of the world. It has a double meaning: it may be an apple of discord, but it is also a symbol of the Tree of Life, denoting secrecy, mysterious joy, knowledge, wisdom. Baba Yaga, the giver, gave the apple to the baby. Giver of what? Opportunities from discord through gaining the experience of compassion, to gain the wisdom of life and return to the Creator - the Mother of the Universe, that is, to the Heavenly parents, to your original state of Love.

    Silver, on the one hand, symbolizes the corruption of a human being, which must constantly struggle with its negative inclinations if it wants to achieve perfection, on the other hand, refined silver symbolizes innocence, sincerity, and fidelity. In Christian symbolism, silver is identified with divine wisdom.

    Having reached the very bottom of the physical world - to the very thick of the forest, the girl-soul finally begins to see the laws of this world: what goes around comes around. The return to Divine wisdom began with a small thing: the mouse asked the girl for porridge. The girl fed her and the mouse helped out - for some time she replaced her in work with Baba Yaga and the girl was able to run away from the house with her brother: as you want people to do to you, do so; as it comes back, so will it respond. Through suffering for a brother, the soul and body learn the laws of compassion, mercy and love.

    Baba Yaga's House

    Baba Yaga's house with one window on chicken legs. “Chicken's legs,” in my opinion, mean that below our three-dimensional world there is no solid support - there is death, worlds through the looking glass. The only way out is to return “home” to our Heavenly parents. What is a “window” in a house? This is the opportunity to receive information - Light through the prophets, who conveyed to the inhabitants of the physical world knowledge about the Heavenly Homeland in the form of fairy tales, myths, legends, that is, allegorically.


    It is interesting that this is a Russian folk tale, adapted by A.N. Tolstoy. Many famous writers turn to the genre of fairy tales. It would seem that they have such powerful historical works, but here they are children’s fairy tales. Why did they write them? The answer to this question may be that historical works described the reality of a specific time, but they almost did not create mental images of getting out of the dead-end situations of the dual world.

    In the history of an individual, clan, people, country and our entire civilization of the planet as a whole, many difficult situations constantly occur, repeating from generation to generation: “they spun and spun the thread - the thread of fate.” Of course, the most painful situation is the transition of humanity to another world, which we know about only from mystics, with the exception of the 4-dimensional world, in which during sleep we almost all find ourselves and we dream about something there.


    The writer, apparently, becomes great because he somehow realizes that the world was created and developed differently than we thought about it. The Holy Scripture says that we are created in the image and likeness of God, but the image is given, and the likeness must be confirmed. The commandments of God say that God is Love, that God is Light, and there is no Darkness in him, that God is a plus, and there is no minus in him. And who are we? We, the humanity of the planet, have all the disadvantages that you can think of. How to restore the image of God in yourself? Perhaps the idea was to create a plane of existence in which everything materializes - manifests itself in slow motion and this can be considered and changed. The Holy Fathers tell us in their works, and advanced scientists have confirmed their words with experiments on the influence of human thoughts and feelings on the world around us, that we can change this world, make it bright and joyful, if we saturate it with the energy of Goodness and Love.


    And there is no other way out of this world of ours: only with Love upward, or with fear and pride downward, to complete destruction. And the third is the wheel of samsara - the re-entry of the soul into the earthly world until it can break out of this destructive world back to the spiritual world - to gain a second birth.

    Orpheus and Eurydice

    I suppose that Nikolai Dobronravov in his poems on behalf of the Savior, in the voice of Orpheus, addresses - appeals to our human Soul:





    Everything has melted away like smoke, Your voice is lost in the distance...
    What made you forget the melody of love?

    You are my doubt, the mystery of the long journey...
    Through the autumn rains I hear a bitter “sorry.”

    You are my melody, I am your devoted Orpheus...
    The days that we have passed, They remember the light of your tenderness.

    Become my Universe, revive the silenced strings.
    To the inspired heart, return the melody of love!
    This couple N. Dobronravov and A. Pakhmutova, in which male and female energies harmoniously merged, mutually complementing each other, where Love reigns, which gave birth to a huge number of beautiful children - songs, highlighted - voiced the cry of the Universe about the lost human soul of Love.


    When Orpheus led Eurydice out of hell, he was told not to look back. What is this condition? This means, in my opinion, that we are led through life and towards a return to the spiritual world without knowing what each situation in which we find ourselves means. They are not at all interested in our opinion, how we feel in these events. And we are alive, thinking, feeling.


    And Eurydice could not stand the silence, she was overcome by doubt about Orpheus’s love for her, she did not want to go further, and he was forced to look back. Eurydice immediately disappeared. He failed to bring her out of hell.

    What made you forget the melody of Love?

    There is a wonderful film “Come See Me”, the script of which is based on N. Ptushkina’s play “While She Was Dying”. The elderly mother felt that she would soon die. Later, repentance touched her soul: her daughter was completely alone. In all likelihood, after the death of her husband, the woman was afraid of loneliness in old age. This fear of hers and her daughter’s love and compassion for her did their job: her daughter stayed with her, did not marry, read her smart, good books, and looked after her. But mother could not get out of the chair - her legs gave out. Ten years passed like this. In the mother’s soul, slowly, slowly, a doubt ripened that everything was so good. She suddenly noticed that the apartment was somehow gloomy, her daughter was reading a funny book, but neither her daughter nor herself showed any emotions of joy.

    Revive the silenced strings

    The elderly woman begins to feel regret for the fate of her daughter, but also for herself: how can I die, because you will be left completely alone, how hopelessly, infinitely late, we understand our mistakes. She asks her questions that she has never touched: was her daughter ever in love and why didn’t she get married? It's too bad that you were so obedient. The daughter’s surprise is great: she has already practically erased the concept of “family joys” from her soul. What remained in her life was compassion for her mother and the compassion of caring for her. And this closed world does not receive new fresh inspiring energy of the joy of life, there is simply no one.

    The old woman, with her senile mind, naively but stubbornly wanted to have such joy, citing the fact that she would die with a calm soul if she had a son-in-law. She apparently really wanted this, and disinterestedly: at her daughter’s age there are already men who are either divorced or widowed. The guardian angels probably appreciated her request and found a suitable candidate.

    What is the power of the soul?

    If the soul wakes up and sees that destructive meanings are beginning to prevail in it, it puts its inner observer, the voice of conscience, its little prince, etc., each can have its own definition, into the zone of building constructive meanings, it finds within itself state – a zone where the situation can change. Destruction is destruction, disruption of the normal structure of something, destruction. A constructive path is one that can be used as the basis for something, a fruitful one.

    The power of materialization

    Mother Earth has enormous power. This is the power of materialization, it is the power of intention of each of us, as well as the force leading to the resolution of any process on Earth. The energy of materialization supports anyone on Earth, regardless of his tasks and the forces that he represents. And we, the people of the earth, are representatives of many civilizations of the Universe, that’s why we are so different, we are here fulfilling their “task”: to become friendly, happy, loving. We can already build with our thoughts the world we need, and in our dreams and reflections we are already building it. The faster we learn to think constructively, the faster we will get out of the state of wars and various conflicts: we will be able to resolve them at the negotiating table. How to learn this? Writers and directors from all over the world have created many works that teach how to dream constructively and materialize your desires - dreams.

    “Light is penetrating into the darkest recesses of the planet as the Earth becomes filled with more and more of the higher vibrational frequencies of Spirit. Mind and Spirit are the builders, and we are the co-creators of a new paradise on Earth. Whatever we need will be provided, but we must hold fast to our vision for the highest good of all.”

    Return the melody of love to the inspired heart

    Our elderly heroine did not stop at “getting a son-in-law.” She was inspired! She began to worry that she would not live to see her grandchildren and that she would die, still unhappy. Holy science of hearing each other! A granddaughter was also found. How could it be otherwise? Even “daddy” almost admitted it: who hasn’t had the sins of their youth? The old woman gradually comes to life, as if she is no longer in a hurry to pass on to another world: her death was originally a day later, the acquisition of a son-in-law significantly shifted this moment of transition. With the appearance of her granddaughter, the apartment became completely bright and cheerful, and the grandmother somehow forgot that she was going to die, she got up and went. But her happiness was not yet complete: her granddaughter must have a husband, otherwise, where would a great-grandson come from? It turned out that the great-grandson had already arrived, to the great joy of the grandmother and everyone else. It’s so good that in the world around us there are corners “where the master’s closets and souls are not locked, thank that house for everyone’s daily bread - the bread of trust.” The Lord said: “It was not you who found each other, it was I who found you for each other.” Like this! It’s interesting that my grandmother involved several people in this performance, and they felt good about it. The film is simply wonderful, and even New Year's, corresponding to our current mood: if you wish something heartily and wisely, it will definitely come true! And Orpheus and Eurydice will meet, but not in hell, but in the House that we will create together with the Son of God in the spiritual world: “My Father has many mansions, we will come and build a new abode.” We have the power to bring the Earth and our Heavenly home closer together.

    The fewer people support destructive scenarios - situations in the space of the Earth, the weaker they become. In the fairy tale, the geese - swans, flying after the children - are the passions and vices of this world, trying to keep us in their power: by acquisitiveness and hoarding in the physical plane - we stick to it (a milk river with jelly banks); envy, resentment, condemnation on the plane of feelings (astral plane - apple tree); vanity, pride in thoughts - thoughts (mental plane - stove). The Lord said: “He who endures to the end will be saved”!

    One of the tips on how people can build a better life with their feelings and thoughts is wishes to each other on holidays. New Year's "generous gifts" are interesting. It is important, very important that they come from the depths of the heart, repeated by many people, they gradually manifest themselves - materialize. Shchedrivkas are ritual songs, their essence is congratulations on the New Year, wishes for goodness, well-being, health, prosperity. Shchedrivki got their name from the holiday - Generous Evening, dedicated to the celebration of the old New Year on January 13. Simply, these are our greetings and wishes for each other on various occasions, in which we reflect our desire for abundance of love, good health, joyful affectionate relationships, youthful vigor and creativity, as we learn that these are not just things that bring us happiness and satisfaction , but also “the state of Being and the quality of life.” This applies to individuals, and to entire nations and states of our, in general, small planet Earth.

    This is such an interesting New Year's fairy tale, but this is my vision of the semantic content of this fairy tale, and yours may be completely different. Why New Year's? All dreams come true in the New Year!

    I love you, LIFE, and I want you to become better!

    The parents go to work and order their eldest daughter to look after her younger brother.
    - For this, we will bring you sweet gingerbread and new clothes from the city.

    While the girl was frolicking with her friends, strange geese - swans - flew in and carried her younger brother into the dense forest. No matter how much she called or cried, no one answered her. Running along the path, I saw birds with a child in the distance. I went to save him. He sees a white stove. I asked the stove to tell me where the geese and swans were.

    The stove set a condition: to eat her rye flour pie, but the girl turned her nose up and didn’t want to eat. I moved on without knowing the answer.

    I walked along the path and saw an apple tree growing. The girl asked a question, the apple tree set a condition: to eat her fruit. She didn’t want to eat the wild apple and ran on.

    I stopped near a river made of milk with banks of jelly. I didn’t want to drink her jelly with white milk. And without an answer she ran on.

    I met a prickly hedgehog and asked if I had seen the geese that kidnapped the boy. The hedgehog showed the way.

    She reached a hut on chicken legs, in which the terrible Grandmother - Hedgehog sits, her nose is hooked, her teeth stick out. The owner sat her down to spin, and she checked to make sure she didn’t run away. And she prepares a stove to eat them. The girl fed the mouse porridge, and he helped her escape and began to answer for her. She took the boy in her arms and ran back. She ran to the river and asked to hide it. The river drank from her jelly and sheltered her. He runs further, and the geese and swans fly up and look at him, they’ll peck him.

    Along the way there is a wild apple tree. I hid the girl after she ate a wild apple. Next is the stove. Quickly put the pie in your mouth and sat down in the hole in it. The birds screamed and flew away to the grandmother with nothing.
    And then her relatives showed up and brought her shopping.

    The fairy tale teaches that you must obey your parents. Eat what they give, don’t be capricious. Respond respectfully to those you address.

    A fairy tale is one of the folklore and later literary genres. This is an epic work, usually of a prosaic nature, with heroic, everyday or magical themes. The main features of this genre are the lack of historicity and the undisguised, conspicuous fictionality of the plot.

    “Geese and Swans” is a folk tale, a brief summary of which we will consider below. That is, it does not have an author as such, it was composed by the Russian people.

    The difference between a folk tale and a literary fairy tale

    Folklore, or folk, fairy tales appeared earlier than literary ones and were passed on for a long time from mouth to mouth. Hence the many discrepancies in plots and variations of such stories. So, we will present here the most common summary of the fairy tale “Geese and Swans”. However, this does not mean that in other areas and regions of our country this work has exactly the same heroes. The plot as a whole will be the same, but may differ in nuances.

    The literary fairy tale was originally invented by the author. Its plot cannot be changed under any circumstances. In addition, such a work originally appeared on paper, and not in oral speech.

    Russian folk tale “Geese and Swans”: summary. The beginning

    A long time ago there lived a husband and wife. They had two children: the eldest daughter Mashenka and the youngest son Vanya.

    One day her parents went to the city and told Masha to look after her brother and not leave the yard. And for good behavior they promised gifts.

    But as soon as the parents left, Masha sat Vanya under the window of the house on the grass, and she ran outside for a walk with her friends.

    But then, out of nowhere, geese-swans appeared, the birds picked up the boy and dragged him towards the forest.

    Masha returned and looked - Vanya was nowhere to be found. The girl rushed to look for her brother, but he was nowhere to be seen. She called Vanya, but he did not respond. Masha sat down and cried, but tears couldn’t help her grief, and she decided to go in search of her brother.

    The girl ran from the yard and looked around. And suddenly I saw geese-swans flying in the distance and then disappearing into the dark forest. Masha realized who kidnapped her brother and gave chase.

    The girl ran out into the clearing and saw the stove. She asked her to show the way. The stove replied that it would tell where the swans flew if Masha threw some wood into it. The girl fulfilled the request, the stove told where the kidnappers flew. And our heroine ran further.

    Baba Yaga

    Masha continues to find out where the geese-swans flew. The fairy tale (a brief summary is presented in this article) tells how a girl meets an apple tree, the branches of which are dotted with ruddy fruits. Masha asks her where the geese-swans went. The apple tree asked you to shake the apples off her, and then she would tell you where the birds had flown. The girl complied with the request and found out where the kidnappers went.

    Mashenka runs further and sees a milk river with jelly banks. A girl by the river asks where the geese-swans flew. And she answered: “Move the stone that prevents me from flowing, then I’ll tell you.” Masha moved the stone and pointed to the river where the birds went.

    The girl ran to the dense forest. And then the hedgehog showed her the way. He curled up into a ball and rolled to the hut on chicken legs. Baba Yaga sits in that hut, and Vanya plays with golden apples at the porch. Masha crept up, grabbed Vanya and started running.

    Baba Yaga noticed that the boy was missing and sent the swan geese in pursuit.

    The denouement of the work

    “Geese and Swans,” the fairy tale, a summary of which we present here, is coming to an end. Masha runs with her brother and sees that the birds are overtaking them. Then she rushed to the river and asked it to shelter them. The river hid them, and their pursuers flew past without noticing anything.

    And the children are running again, it’s not far from home. But then the birds noticed the fugitives again. They strive to snatch their brother out of his hands. But then Masha noticed the stove, in which she took refuge with Vanyusha. The geese-swans could not reach the children and returned back to Baba Yaga.

    The brother and sister got out of the stove and ran home. Here Masha washed and combed Vanya’s hair, sat him down on the bench, and sat down next to him. Soon the parents returned and brought gifts for the children. The daughter didn’t tell them anything. So the geese-swans were left with nothing.

    The fairy tale (the summary confirms this) belongs to the so-called magical ones. Such works are characterized by the presence of a magical villain (Baba Yaga in our case) and magical assistants (stove, apple tree, river, hedgehog).
