      Tales for pupils
           (From Russian grammar)



  ... When my son Willy was in first grade, he did not know how 
nice pis and did also a lot of mistakes. Teacher told him every 
day to rewrite the home half a page of text from textbook. But 
the child did not like the texts in the textbook, and Willie 
asked me to write a story for him, where would the words with 
unstressed vowels (kobochka or kobochka), with voiced 
consonants at the end of a word (zuili Dhu, and also the word 
go, because it is very difficult to remember that after the "w" 
to write "e" instead "O".

 I started writing stories for Willie. With each passing day, 
these stories became longer and longer. My son is not only 
readily copied them, but in the end and he began to compose. 
However, in the beginning we had a little bet, how to write the 
names of the principal Heroes: Fifka or Fivka, Afka or Avka. 
But then we found the check, the words "Fifochka" and "Avochka, 
and disputes have come to an end. 

            The first story
             Fifka, Fafka and Avka


  Once there was a Fifka. She had a brother Fafka. Once they 
were attacked by Avka. "Run!" - Shouted Fafka. "Why?" - 
Objected Fifka. - "We are two, and she was alone. We will win 
it." "Forward!" - Shouted bravely Fafka. And Avka ran away. 

            History of the Second
             Willie and Dean


  Who is the boy Willie? Is someone who is friends with Dina. 
Dean flew and sat on a twig. Where's Willy? 

Here's what the picture painted Here's how the picture painted
Fifka to this story: Fafka:

(A bird sitting on a twig). (A girl sits on a branch,
                 and the boy hid behind a tree).



            History of the Third
                 Tooth


  In Fifki lost a tooth. And Fafki not dropped. Fafka envied 
Fifke, because Fifka wore a tooth in a box, and all showed.


  - Do not envy - said Fafka. - Here at Avki also not lost a 
tooth, and she is upset.


  - And the truth of what envy - thought Fafka. - Maybe I'll 
wake up tomorrow and I have two teeth fall out, while Fifki and 
Avki none. 



            History of the Fourth
            Elusive Petka


  Willie does not like to clean up toys. And if the mother is 
angry, he says that their scattered Petka. "Here I'll show this 
Petka" - Threatens to mom, but can never find him. Why?


  Fifka since responded to this question:

  - Because there is no Petka. Willie invented it to
blame on him.

  - Nothing of the sort - said Fafka. - Petya, of course, there 
is, he just good at hiding. 

  They began to argue so fiercely that he nearly came to blows. 
But here Willie came and explained everything:


  - Ha ha - he said - his mother never find Petka, because
that he was very, very small, well just like microbe.

            History of The Fifth
            Thumbelina and the car


  When Dean first time came on a visit to Willie, he was 
overjoyed and shouted: "Let's play!". 

  - Come on, come on - enthusiastically agreed Dean. - We will 
play to a hospital or Thumbelina. 

  - No way - cut, Willie - I will not play in Thumbelina,
we're playing in cars.

  - No, Thumbelina.

  - No, in cars.

  They cried so hard that mom Villinoy headache, and
She hid from them in the kitchen. Half an hour later my mother 
decided to look again into the room. Thumbelina sat in the car, 
and Willie busily carried in a tank of gas out of the garage.


  You see, you can always find a way out of the very difficult 
situation. 

            History Sixth
          Diminutive


  - Look back soon! - Shouted suddenly Fafka, pointing to the
fence. There, along a low fence, snuck a cat on a fence and 
tweeting carefree frivolous sparrow. - Most point-a sparrow 
suffix it will be great, and the cat will not eat! 

  Dean so hurried, that excitement cleaned up suffix "ische"
on the cat instead of a sparrow. Cat began to grow - and that 
it is not a cat and kotische. The children froze with fright, 
the dog whined Avka and hid behind Willie and Fafku, she had 
never seen such terrible cats. Former cat turned into a tiger 
and looked around in search of Lost Sparrow, because the 
sparrow became for him a very small, although in fact remained 
the same. But then he saw a tiger and children ... toward them. 

  - Ah ..

  - Find the most diminutive suffix, - whispered the neighbor's 
son Jen. But Dean is already frantically rummaging in a bag. 
All time not come across those suffixes, some "-uk", "Cheek", 
"-ence" "-Ishko. Finally she found the suffix "-Yenok. Tiger 
began to decrease and become a tiger, and then in a kitten, and 
then even in the kitten, because Willie looked up just in case

at him through the suffix "Otuk.

  All relieved, and a sparrow flew in the meantime.

  In a hurry no one noticed that the save from the tiger could 
not only suffix "-Yenok. And what else?




            Seventh story - sad


  ... It was a boy. It was snowing. ... It was one thousand 
nine hundred and ninety seventh year. They went and came. 
1997-The year came to an end. The boy came home. And the snow 
will not come. He was not home and there was no end ... 


  - Why did the snow will not come? - Angry Fafka. - Because
if you go, there is always somewhere to come.

  - That's because - guess Fifka - that is incorrectly written. 
To escape, you need legs, while the snow does not. Snow falls 
from heaven, right? 

  - True, - amazed Fafka. - But it often happens that someone 
else no legs, and about him saying that he was wearing. They 
say the same as the train goes. And he goes, and not attending. 

            Winter night, as a fairy godmother -
    * City obedient to her as a child,
        * Sleeps ... And it warms the cold snow,
            From the sky flying, flying from the sky ...

White snow falling gently,
Snow seems to want the night to help - *
Let sleeping at home, he did not worry;
Let it be night, let it be the night ... *

* Let it be night, and turning,
    * To the ground Thorpe cling ...
        Let there be night; unnecessary *
        You will become, after finishing a way ...


    * The winter night is not asking for rewards -
    * Just hoping only to the fact
            That perhaps somebody's window and happy
            Or none, or none ...

* Let it be night, and turning, *
    To the ground Thorpe cling ...
    Let there be night; unnecessary *
    You will become, after finishing a way ...

    * Winter night will end soon
            In memory of leaving a white trail ...
        * The window will look a morning city:
* Again, there was snow, snow was again ...

Let it be night, and turning, *
To the ground Thorpe cling ... *
Let there be night; unnecessary *
You will become, after finishing a way ... *

Fafka. That Willie Boy, and Dina girl that seems to have already

think? We left here place so that you too could draw Fifku and 
Fafku.
