Then Pooh went to the Rabbit's garden, where he found his friend busily tending vegetables. The rabbit was delighted to receive a jar of honey, and promised to save it for a special occasion.

Continuing his journey, Pooh met Tigger, who was jumping around the forest in search of something to do. The tiger was delighted with the unexpected gift and gladly poured some honey into his paw to taste it.

"Mmm, it's delicious!" He declared, wagging his tail furiously.

Finally, Pooh reached the gloomy clearing of Eeyore, where he found his old friend sleeping under a withered tree. Eeyore looked up from his dream and smiled when he saw a jar of honey in Pooh's hands.

"Oh, hello, Pooh, — Eeyore said softly. "I didn't expect such a wonderful treat today."

Pooh smiled and handed over the jar, feeling happy to know that his friends were enjoying their gifts. Watching them enjoy the sweet honey, Pooh realized that giving gifts is almost as much fun as receiving them.

From that day on, Pooh made it a rule to share his treasures with those he loved, spreading joy and happiness throughout the hundred-acre Forest. And every time they gathered, his friends remembered his kind gesture and the delicious honey that Pooh had treated them to.

The magic of New Year's Eve

Once upon a time, in a land covered with the softest white snow, there lived a cheerful girl named Polina. She was as bright as a winter star and as warm as a cozy fireplace. On the eve of the New Year, Polina, with cheeks rosy from the cold, rolled big snowballs. With a carrot nose, charcoal eyes and a smile as wide as a crescent moon, her snowman came to life.

— Happy New Year, Polina! The Snowman said in a voice as gentle as falling snowflakes.

— Oh, you can talk! Polina replied, her eyes sparkling with joy.

In the spirit of the New Year, the Snowman was granted life until the first ray of the New Year's sun. He wanted to spend this magical time spreading kindness and joy.

"Let's make this New Year's Eve the most special," the Snowman suggested. Polina nodded excitedly and they went on an adventure together. Passing through a snow-covered village, they saw a stray dog shivering from the cold.

"Let's build a warm house for the dog," Polina said with compassion.

— What a wonderful idea! The Snowman agreed.

They worked together, gathering branches and leaves, and soon the dog had a cozy place where he warmed up and wagged his tail in gratitude. When the stars shone in the night sky, they came across an old woman who was carrying a heavy bag of gifts with difficulty. She looked tired and cold.

— Can we help you carry your bag? Polina kindly offered.

"That would be wonderful, kids," the old woman smiled with relief. Polina and the Snowman took a bag each and together distributed the gifts to all the village orphanages. As they walked, the Snowman noticed that Polina began to tremble.

"You're cold, aren't you?" The Snowman asked worriedly.

"A little," Pauline admitted, trying to look strong. Suddenly, bells rang and a sleigh appeared, led by radiant deer. The luge man, a kind-hearted man, saw how Polina was trembling.

— Here, take my warm blanket," he said, throwing it over Polina's shoulders. Polina beamed with gratitude, she felt cozy and warm.

— Thank you very much! — She said.

"It's the least I can do," the man replied, his eyes shining with kindness.

When the bell struck midnight, signifying the beginning of the New Year, the Snowman felt a gentle warmth spread over him. He knew that his time was almost up.

— Polina, do not forget to always treat others the way you would like to be treated. This is the real magic of New Year's Eve," said the Snowman in a soft voice.

— I will, Snowman. I promise," Pauline said, hugging him tightly. And when the first rays of the sun appeared over the horizon, the Snowman turned back into an ordinary snowman, silent and motionless. But Polina knew that the light of his kindness would never fade. From that day on, Polina treated everyone with the same warmth as the one that the Snowman had taught her. She always remembered the magic of New Year's Eve and a special friend who showed her that giving good means receiving it. And so, under the twinkling stars of each New Year, the village children remembered the story of Polina and the Snowman, the snowman who came to life, spreading love and joy, teaching everyone a golden lesson: treat others the way you want to be treated. And they all lived happily ever after, warmly and kindly.

The Magic Star of Respect

Once upon a time, in a cozy town covered with soft white snow, there lived a boy named Maxie. Maxie was a cheerful child, full of laughter and love. There was only one thing he was still learning: respect for his elders.

Илья Муромец
Илья Муромец

Вот уже четыре года, как Илья Муромец брошен в глубокий погреб по приказу Владимира Красно Солнышко. Не раз успел пожалеть Великий Князь о том, что в минуту гнева послушался дурных советчиков и заточил в подземной тюрьме Первого Богатыря Русской земли. Дружина и киевское войско от такой обиды разъехались по домам, богатыри и вовсе из княжьей воли ушли. Всей воинской силы в Киеве — дружинная молодежь да порубежные воины. А на границах уже собирается гроза — в степи появился новый хакан Калин, впервые объединивший под своей рукой все печенежские орды. Невиданное войско собрал степной царь и теперь идет на Русь войной, угрожая стереть с лица земли города, вырубить всех, не щадя ни старого, ни малого. Забыв гордость, князь кланяется богатырю, просит выйти из поруба и встать за Русскую землю, не помня старых обид...В новой повести Ивана Кошкина русские витязи предстают с несколько неожиданной стороны, но тут уж ничего не поделаешь — подлинные былины сильно отличаются от тех пересказов, что знакомы нам с детства. Необыкновенные люди с обыкновенными страстями, богатыри Заставы и воины княжеских дружин живут своими жизнями, их судьбы несхожи. Кто-то ищет чести, кто-то — высоких мест, кто-то — богатства. Как ответят они на отчаянный призыв Русской земли? Придут ли на помощь Киеву?
