"Tebuguro" (Sun.
Gloves (medium)
Author: [Russian] Yevgeni M. Rachov
This is folklore from Russia's neighbor Ukraine.
An old man went hunting in the forest, and he walked with a puppy, and one of his gloves fell into the snow. At this time a small mouse ran over, and it saw the glove and lived inside. After a while, a frog came and stayed in. And then one animal after another found the gloves, one by one, and went in...
On a snowy day in the middle of winter, a pair of gloves is thrown on a snowy field, and an unexpected story begins with this very ordinary picture.
Shrimp shrimp especially like the color scheme of this painting, light lotus color, light blue and pink. Although it was snowing, there was still a warm feeling.
The gloves were accidentally dropped by an old man walking his dog. The hungry rat burrowed into the glove, followed by the big frog that bounced around, and the fast-running rabbit also lived in.
Although it was only a temporary residence, the little rat still arranged the house very warmly, and the wooden branches were used to prevent moisture under the gloves, and a small ladder was also erected. It reminds shrimp of the sentence, "Although the house is rented, life is your own." Life also needs such a sense of ritual!
Immediately after, the fox who loves to dress up also came, let's see how cute the fox wearing the Ukrainian embroidery pattern is!
After that, a big wolf with gray hair and a wild boar with fangs came one after another. Finally, a slow-moving bear also came and wanted to go into the gloves.
We see that as there are more animals, the gloves change like a house. The critters made windows and hung little bells at the door.
The animals all live in the big glove, like it's a magic glove, and any animal can live in it.
Seven animals larger than gloves burrow into small gloves is a seemingly absurd story, but because it happened in the cold winter, the animals burrowed into warm gloves to keep warm. It will resonate with people, and the harmonious world is so beautiful!
Finally, the grandfather found that the gloves were lost and came back to find them, and the puppy ran in front of him and barked and ran. Hear the barking of the puppies,
Everybody ran away.
In the moment when we heartily lamented that it was too good, the old man and the dog returned to find gloves. So the animals ran out of their gloves and fled into the forest, and the story ended in amazement. This abrupt ending surprised us and reassured us at the same time. Illogical logic makes us sigh and rejoice.
The breadbasket of Europe - Ukraine
Ukraine, located in the east of Europe, has a land area of 603,700 square kilometers, 1,300 kilometers from east to west, and 900 kilometers from north to south, making it the largest country in Europe except Russia. It is bordered by Russia to the east, the Black Sea to the south, Belarus to the north, and Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova to the west.
Ukraine is geographically important as the geopolitical intersection between the European Union and the CIS, and in particular with Russia.
The national flag is rectangular in shape, consisting of two parallel and equal horizontal rectangles, blue and yellow, with a ratio of length to width of 3:2. Independence was declared in 1991 and the blue and yellow flags of the Ukrainian People's Republic were restored as the flag in 1992.
Ukraine is the world's third largest food exporter, known as the "granary of Europe", and its agricultural output accounts for 20% of GDP.
Two-thirds of the land area of Ukraine is black land, accounting for 1/4 of the total black soil in the world. The forest resources are relatively rich, with a forest coverage rate of 43%, spanning three vegetation belts: forest swamp belt, forest grassland belt and grassland belt.
Ukraine is a multi-ethnic state with a total of more than 130 ethnic groups. Among them, Ukrainian ethnic groups account for about 77%, which is the main ethnic group in Ukraine; Russian ethnic groups account for about 17%; other ethnic minorities total about 6%, mainly Belarusian, Jewish, Tatar, Moldova, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Greece, Germany, Bulgaria and other ethnic groups.
Ukrainian beauties
Europeans are mainly divided into Germanic, Latin and Slavic, while Italians, French, Greeks, Spaniards, etc. belong to latins; Germans, Austrians, Britain, the Netherlands, etc. belong to Germanic people; Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Czechs, Serbia, Croatia, etc. belong to the Slavic race.
The Slavs are one of the three major ethnic groups of Europa, a people born of the large-scale migration of the ancient Germanic eastern peoples and the Scythians. Moreover, the Slavs exchange genes with other ethnic groups frequently, so that the Slavs have complex national genes. This diversified genetic inheritance is also the reason for the large number of beautiful women of the Slavic nation. The Ukrainians inherited the good genes of the Ancient Slavs and produced many beautiful women.
Yevgeni M. Ratchev
Born in Russia in 1906. He lived with his grandmother in Baraguskaya, the Siberian steppe, until the age of 14, and his childhood in the savannah allowed him to be related to wild animals and plants, and he had a very deep understanding of their ecology.
In 1920, Rachev went alone to Novonossk on the Black Sea coast to join his mother and became interested in poetry and painting. In 1924, he entered the Normal School of Fine Arts, which determined his future.
In 1930, Rachev went to work in the fine arts department of the Kiev Publishing House and began to create illustrations. With the help of senior editors, he gained a better understanding of the characteristics of children's book illustration. He learned that in addition to understanding and caring for children, respect for literary works is also important. During his work, he often went to the zoo or the forbidden fishing area to sketch, and gradually established his "realistic and delicate" creative attitude.
Rachev's works are mostly based on folk tales related to nature and animals. His paintings are characterized by the vividness of animals, often with simple lines, showing the most vivid expressions of animals. In addition, his animals have obviously anthropomorphic personalities, and usually he will put them in costumes with national flavors to show the characteristics of the nation and the human characteristics reflected behind the animal stories.
Finally, end today with a song that snow is a flower in the sky.
Snow is the flower of the sky
Snow is the flower of heaven,
Flowers sprout in paradise.
The gods want her to grow up,
In the winter, one by one, they leave their hometown.
The god is snowflake's father,
The gods kiss the beautiful snowflakes,
Snowflake also loves Daddy.
Wait until the snowflakes grow up day by day,
Grown snowflakes left Daddy,
Leaving only Dad to guard the heavenly home,
Daddy's beard is white—"
Snowflakes are still being greeted every day!
Flowers grow up in the sea of clouds,
The angel sent her out of the house,
When they arrived in the human world, one by one, they flew to the end of the world.
Angels are snowflake mothers,
Angels guard the lovely snowflakes,
Snowflake also loves her mother.
Grown snowflakes left their mothers,
Leaving only mother to guard the heavenly home,
Mom's black hair looks white—"
Night and night still chanting snowflakes!
