Literary tales Ch.Perrot. Wealth of pictures. Humor. Cinderella: magical transformation
Once upon a time there lived a cheerful fluffy cat. He chased mice, drank milk from a saucer, deftly climbed fences and knew how to open a door with his paw. And he did not at all think that the time would come when the gentlemen from the royal retinue would bow low to him, the Cat, and he himself would walk around the palace in an embroidered caftan, high boots and with a sword.
And our Cat was just the only wealth that was inherited by the youngest son of the miller. His young master was poor, and he decided to make himself at least a muff from the skin of the Cat. It was then that the Cat showed that he was not simple, but a wonderful, special Cat!
Remember, didn’t you notice slyness in the narrow green slits-eyes of familiar cats, didn’t they surprise you with their proud tread and majestic posture? They seem to know something that is the extraordinary pride of the entire cat tribe. .. At such moments, they, no doubt, remember the famous ancestor - the famous, amazing Puss in Boots, who was not at all afraid of anything!
The Cat knew how to conduct reasonable, skillful conversations with the King, and with his capricious daughter, and with cunning, flattering courtiers. He was not afraid of the Ogre himself, before whom the bravest brave men in the kingdom trembled...
For about three hundred years now, they have loved and remembered the brave and kind Mr. Cat, they sing cheerful glory to him: “Puss in boots - cheers and praise!” Are you surprised, perhaps, that this fairy tale is so many years old? But this funny and clever story was told long before the French writer and poet Charles Perrault (1628-1703) decided to publish it as a separate book with bright, funny drawings. But Perrault did not just write down the fairy tale that was told in France, and in England, in Africa, and in North America, but created his own, special Puss in Boots, a mocking bully, a quick-witted braggart, a true friend and a brave man.
That's how long ago the merry journey around the world of Puss in Boots, the very one that came out from the pen of the French storyteller, began.
And this happened not only to him alone. This happened to Cinderella, and to the Boy-with-a-toe in seven-league boots, and with the smart dwarf Rike-with-tuft, whom the beautiful princess fell in love with. .. And the little girl Little Red Riding Hood, the gloomy villain Bluebeard, the bewitched Sleeping Beauty? These are also the heroes of Perrault, whom we know from his fairy tales. Wonderful stories about fairies and cannibals, talking animals and the brave, princes, the Crystal Slipper and many other extraordinary events came to us from the collection “Tales of My Mother Goose” (1697), which has been reprinted for more than one century. Famous playwrights, poets, artists and composers created amazing works of art based on the plots of these fairy tales. Until now, "Cinderella" and "Puss in Boots" are staged in theaters around the world. And in the Moscow Puppet Theater alone, "Puss in Boots" went through two thousand times! And the words that Ch. Perrault wrote when publishing his first book of fairy tales are still alive for us today. Here is what he said then, addressing his first readers:
“Words flow so simply and naively.
And it seems that you see the whole story.
. . .After all, I think you know: -
By no means one invention.
Rather, in a charming manner
The story is captivating.
And you will like my simple voice.
To whom you want to be ready to swear honestly
There is no doubt that you will also like the "voice" of the storyteller. Director Viktor Monyukov, composer Yury Chichkov and artists from Moscow theaters helped to “see the whole story”, creating a festive and sonorous, funny and funny performance based on the famous fairy tale.

Puss in Boots read
The miller had three sons, and he left them, dying, only a mill, a donkey and a cat.
The brothers divided their father's property among themselves without a notary and a judge, who would have quickly swallowed all their poor inheritance.
The eldest got the mill. Middle donkey. Well, the youngest had to take a cat.
The poor fellow could not console himself for a long time, having received such a miserable share of the inheritance.
Brothers, he said, can honestly earn their living if they stick together. And what will happen to me after I eat my cat and make a muff out of his skin? Just starve to death!
The cat heard these words, but did not show it, but said calmly and judiciously:
“Don't worry, master. Give me a bag and order a pair of boots to make it easier to wander through the bushes, and you will see for yourself that you have not been offended as much as you now think.
The owner of the cat himself did not know whether to believe it or not, but he well remembered what tricks the cat used when he hunted rats and mice, how cleverly he pretended to be dead, either hanging on his hind legs, or burrowing almost headlong into flour. Who knows, maybe he really will help in some way in trouble!
As soon as the cat got everything he needed, he quickly put on his shoes, valiantly stamped his feet, threw the bag over his shoulder and, holding it by the laces with his front paws, walked into the reserved forest, where there were many rabbits. And in the bag he had bran and rabbit cabbage.
Stretched out on the grass and pretending to be dead, he began to wait until some inexperienced rabbit, who had not yet had time to experience in his own skin how evil and insidious the world was, would climb into the bag to feast on the treats reserved for him.
He did not have to wait long: some young, gullible simpleton rabbit immediately jumped into his bag.
Without thinking twice, Uncle Cat tightened his shoelaces and finished off the rabbit without any mercy.
After that, proud of his booty, he went straight to the palace and asked to be welcomed by the king. He was taken into the royal chambers. He gave his majesty a respectful bow and said:
- Sovereign, here is a rabbit from the forests of the Marquis de Carabas (he invented such a name for his master). My master ordered me to present you with this modest gift.
“Thank your master,” replied the king, “and tell him that he has given me great pleasure.
A few days later, the cat went to the field and there, hiding among the ears, again opened his bag.
This time two partridges fell into his trap. He quickly tightened the laces and carried both to the king.
The king willingly accepted this gift and ordered to give the cat for tea.
So two or three months passed. The cat now and then brought game to the king, as if killed on a hunt by his master, the Marquis de Carabas.
And then one day the cat found out that the king, together with his daughter, the most beautiful princess in the world, was going to take a carriage ride along the river bank.
Are you willing to take my advice? he asked his master. “Then happiness is in our hands.” All that is required of you is to go swimming in the river, where I will show you. Leave the rest to me.
The Marquis de Carabas obediently did everything that the cat advised him, although he did not at all guess what it was for. While he was bathing, the royal carriage drove to the bank of the river.
The cat rushed with all his might and screamed at the top of his lungs:
- Here, here! Help! The Marquis de Carabas is drowning!
The king heard this cry, opened the door of the carriage ajar, and, recognizing the cat that had brought him game so many times as a gift, immediately sent his guards to rescue the Marquis de Carabas.
While the poor marquis was being pulled out of the water, the cat managed to tell the king that thieves had stolen everything from the master while bathing. (But in fact, the sly one hid the master's dress under a large stone with his own paws.)
The king immediately ordered his courtiers to bring for the Marquis de Carabas one of the best outfits of the royal wardrobe.
The outfit turned out to be both on time and to the face, and since the marquis was already small at least somewhere - handsome and stately, then, having dressed up, he, of course, became even better, and the royal daughter, looking at him, found that he just to her taste.
When the Marquis de Carabas cast two or three glances in her direction, very respectful and at the same time tender, she fell in love with him without memory.
Her father, the young marquis, also fell in love. The king was very affectionate with him and even invited him to sit in a carriage and take part in a walk.
The cat was delighted that everything was going like clockwork, and merrily ran in front of the carriage.
On the way, he saw peasants cutting hay in the meadow.
Hey, good people, - he shouted as he ran, - if you do not tell the king that this meadow belongs to the Marquis de Carabas, you will all be chopped into pieces, like stuffing for a pie! So know!
Just then the royal carriage drove up, and the king asked, looking out of the window:
Whose meadow are you mowing?
“However, Marquis, you have a glorious estate here! the king said.
“Yes, sir, this meadow produces excellent hay every year,” the marquis replied modestly.
Meanwhile, Uncle Cat ran on and on until he saw reapers working in the field along the way.
“Hey, good people,” he shouted, “if you don’t tell the king that all this bread belongs to the Marquis de Carabas, then know that you will all be chopped into pieces, like stuffing for a pie!”
A minute later, the king drove up to the reapers and wanted to know whose fields they were reaping.
“The fields of the Marquis de Carabas,” answered the reapers. And the king again rejoiced for the marquis. And the cat kept running forward and ordered everyone who met him to say the same thing: “This is the house of the Marquis de Carabas”, “this is the mill of the Marquis de Carabas”, “this is the garden of the Marquis de Carabas”. The king could not marvel at the wealth of the young marquis.
And finally, the cat ran to the gates of a beautiful castle. There lived a very rich man-eating giant. No one in the world has ever seen a giant richer than this. All the lands through which the royal carriage passed were in his possession.
The cat found out in advance what kind of giant it was, what his strength was, and asked to be allowed to see the owner. He, they say, cannot and does not want to pass by without paying his respects.
The ogre received him with all the courtesy that an ogre is capable of, and offered to rest.
“I was assured,” said the cat, “that you can turn into any animal. Well, for example, you seem to be able to turn into a lion or an elephant ...
- I can! the giant barked. - And to prove it, I will immediately become a lion! Look!
The cat was so frightened when he saw a lion in front of him that in an instant he climbed up the drainpipe to the roof, although it was difficult and even dangerous, because it is not so easy to walk on the tiles in boots.
Only when the giant again assumed his former appearance, the cat descended from the roof and confessed to the owner that he almost died of fear.
And they assured me, - he said, - but I just can’t believe this, that you supposedly know how to turn into even the smallest animals. Well, for example, to become a rat or even a mouse. I must tell you the truth that I think it is absolutely impossible.
- Oh, that's how! Impossible? the giant asked. - Well, look!
And at the same moment he turned into a mouse. The mouse nimbly ran across the floor, but the cat chased after it and swallowed it at once.
Meanwhile, the king, passing by, noticed a beautiful castle on the way and wished to enter there.
The cat heard the wheels of the royal carriage rattle on the drawbridge, and, running out to meet him, he said to the king:
“Welcome to the castle of the Marquis de Carabas, Your Majesty!” Welcome!
- How, Monsieur Marquis? the king exclaimed. Is this castle also yours? It is impossible to imagine anything more beautiful than this courtyard and the buildings around. Yes, this is a real palace! Let's see what it's like inside, if you don't mind.
The marquis extended his hand to the beautiful princess and led her after the king, who, as expected, was leading the way.
All three of them entered the great hall, where a splendid supper was prepared.
Just on this day, the ogre invited his friends to his place, but they did not dare to come, having learned that the king was visiting the castle.
The king was fascinated by the virtues of Monsieur the Marquis de Carabas almost as much as his daughter, who was simply crazy about the Marquis.
In addition, his Majesty could not, of course, but appreciate the wonderful possessions of the marquis and, having drained five or six goblets, said:
“If you want to be my son-in-law, Monsieur Marquis, it is up to you. And I agree.
The marquis thanked the king with a respectful bow for the honor done to him, and on the same day he married the princess.
And the cat became a nobleman and since then hunted mice only occasionally - for his own pleasure.

France is the most fabulous country in the world, you can’t argue with that. Every city here is a work of art, every village is a living history.
While traveling through this magical land, sometimes you catch yourself thinking that you find yourself in a fairy tale - the local landscapes are so reminiscent of illustrations from favorite children's books read to holes. It seems like Puss in Boots will jump out from around the corner, and Cinderella will rush past in a pumpkin carriage ...
Let's go back to childhood for a while and remember which fairy tales we loved the most.
Cinderella: magical transformation
Perhaps the most adored heroine of all girls in the world was Cinderella - wonderfully described by the storyteller Charles Perrault, but not invented by him at all. To be honest, no one in the world knows when and by whom Cinderella was created. This poor girl, who later became the wife of a handsome prince, is a typical folklore character: in world literature there are more than a thousand girls with a similar fate.
Character traits: modesty, sincerity, kindness.
Fairy tale finale: happy - the prince manages to find a girl by a miniature glass slipper and marry her.
Adventures of a girl in a dark forest: Little Red Riding Hood
Another girl from European folklore, whom the whole world empathized with as a child. And again, Charles Perrault was, as they say, in the right place and at the right time: he did not invent Little Red Riding Hood, but simply the first to beautifully set out folk traditions, after which the Brothers Grimm did the same.
This fairy tale is quite tough even by modern standards, and you will not envy the fate of a little girl who went to visit her grandmother. However, a lesson can be learned from all situations: in this case, the tale teaches not to make acquaintance with a stranger, especially if he is a gray wolf.
Character traits: naivety, curiosity, gullibility.
Fairy tale finale: in most versions, the girl is eaten by a wolf, but there are versions of the miraculous rescue of the baby by lumberjacks.
A Hundred Years' Dream: Sleeping Beauty
And again, Charles Perrault, relying on folklore, created a magical, albeit slightly creepy tale. The plot has everything - a fairy with a terrible prophecy about a spindle and a century-long dream, and a prince who miraculously appeared, thanks to which the princess wakes up, and a very creepy cannibal queen. There is only one conclusion from this tangled story: you should not wait a hundred years for the prince, it is better to act on your own and not believe in stupid predictions!
Character traits: kindness, innocence, sincerity.
Fairy tale finale: optimistic - thanks to the same Charles Perrault.
The smartest Puss in Boots
But Perrault invented the quick-witted cat himself. It is thanks to his intelligence and resourcefulness that the country gets rid of the almighty cannibal giant, which the cat simply eats, and the resourceful mustachioed striped man himself becomes a nobleman and gets the opportunity to catch mice solely for the sake of entertainment.
The moral of this tale is this: from any, even a very difficult situation, there will definitely be a way out - just strain your mind a little!
Character traits: ingenuity, resourcefulness, agility.
Fairy tale ending: There is nowhere happier - the cannibal is eaten, the cat is happy and enjoys life.
Everyone's Classic: The Little Prince
The Little Prince is an allegorical fairy tale story, written not by a storyteller at all, but by the French pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupery. You can read and reread this magical work at any age, and each time the book will certainly tell you something new.
The Little Prince is a boy from another planet who has visited Earth. This is a big-hearted little man who looks at everything with clear eyes, sees things as they really are, and is sincerely surprised at the actions of adults: he does not understand why an ambitious person needs others to constantly admire him, and a drunkard needs to drink to forget about that he is ashamed of what he drinks ... This is a deeply autobiographical character in which Exupery described himself - the self for whom he yearned so much ...
Character traits: simplicity, openness, holiness.
Fairy tale finale: tragic, but with a light note, because death does not exist while the memory is alive.
Read French fairy tales: they will make you happier!
