Читаем A New Year's tale полностью

On New Year's Eve, a boy named Ivan lived in a small winter village where snowflakes danced like tiny stars in the night sky. Ivan was known for his kind heart and love of sculpting magnificent snowmen. He always tried to help his fellow villagers by clearing snow-covered roads or sharing the warmth of a family campfire. On New Year's Eve, Ivan decided to make the most charming snowman the village has ever seen. He rolled and stroked the snowman until the snowman, whom he affectionately named Snowman Kai, became tall and proud in the pale moonlight. But Kai the Snowman was no ordinary snowman. When the clock struck midnight and the old year passed, a portion of New Year's magic fell on the village.

— Happy New Year, Ivan! A voice rang out.

Startled, Ivan turned around and saw that Kai the Snowman had come to life, his charcoal eyes sparkling with fun.

— You can talk! Ivan exclaimed, his eyes wide open.

"I really can, because today is the night of magic, — replied Kai the Snowman, pointing with his branchy hand at the shining sky.

In the spirit of adventure and kindness, Kai the Snowman offered Ivan a magical journey.

They visited the houses of the villagers and gave New Year's blessings. But there were unexpected consequences: with each good deed, Snowman Kai lost some of his magic and came close to becoming just a snowman again. Undeterred, the couple set off into the cold night. They visited the house of a lonely elder, leaving a basket of food on the doorstep. With each action, Kai the Snowman's radiance dimmed slightly, but his smile did not fade at all.

— Are you sure you want to continue? Ivan asked, frowning uneasily.

— Absolutely," replied Snowman Kai. "Kindness is the greatest magic of all.

Then they met a shivering stray dog. Ivan hesitated, but Kai the Snowman gently pushed him forward. Wrapping the dog in a scarf, Ivan felt a warmth that had nothing to do with the warmth of the woolen fabric. The night went on, filled with laughter and joy, and Ivan and Snowman Kai expressed their approval. But as dawn approached, Kai the Snowman's figure began to sag, and his voice became quieter.

"Our time is almost up," Kai the Snowman said with a note of sadness in his tone.

— But why? Ivan's voice trembled. — Should kindness always have a price?

— Not the cost, a reminder, — explained Snowman Kai. — Every good deed leaves a mark in the world, as well as in me.

When the first ray of light touched the horizon, Kai the Snowman froze and fell silent, his magic ran out.

Ivan's heart ached, but he knew that their good night had changed the village forever. The sun rose and the villagers woke up to find their world full of secrets and generosity. They gathered around the snowman, admiring the unfolding magic. And although Kai the Snowman no longer spoke, his spirit continued to live in the hearts of the villagers. Ivan smiled through his tears, knowing that their enchanting New Year's Eve would be remembered for many years. There is a little magic left in every good deed and the memory of the Snowman Kaye will inspire everyone to maintain the spirit of generosity.

So, dear children, remember: be kind, because kindness weaves magic into the fabric of life, creating a story that experiences even the most fleeting magical nights.

Luke and Zoya's magical New Year's Adventure

One day in a snowy city on the last night of the year, a little boy named Luka, wrapped in a cozy blanket, snuggled up to his fluffy puppy Zoya. Twinkling Christmas lights danced around the room as Luka and Zoya waited for the clock to strike midnight.

— Woof! Zoey barked, wagging his tail excitedly.

— Yes, it's almost New Year's Eve!

Luka laughed, hugging Zoya tightly to him. As the hands of the clock approached twelve, something magical began to happen. Outside the window, snowflakes sparkled brighter than ever, swirling in a whirlwind of sequins.

Luka and Zoya, curious and amazed, came closer to the window to get a better look at it. Suddenly, with a gust of wind, the window opened and a cool breeze brought with it a shimmering snowflake, which landed gently on Zoya's nose. In the blink of an eye, Zoey began to grow and turned into a big magical puppy with wings!

— Woof woof! Zoey exclaimed, as if inviting Luka on an adventure.

"Are we going to fly? — asked Luka in surprise.

After a nod from Zoya, Luka climbed onto his back and together they flew out into the starry night.

The city below was covered in snow, and the lights twinkled like millions of fireflies. Luka held onto Zoya tightly as they soared higher into the sky, where the stars seemed close enough to touch.

As midnight approached, the moon whispered a secret to Luke and Zoya: "To find the treasure of the New Year, you must follow the path of the constellations."

Suddenly, the stars began to move, creating a luminous path in the sky. Zoey, with a Bow on his back, flew in the wake of the stars, which twisted and whirled across the sky.

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?
