Текст песни Ганс Христиан Андерсен - Гадкий утенок

It was good for the city! It was summer . In the fields already gilded rye, oats was green , the hay was in haystacks smёtano ; on the green meadow paced long-legged stork and chatted in Egyptian - this language he had learned from his mother . Over the fields and meadows darkened a large forest and hid in the forest deep blue lake. Yes, it was out of town ! The sun lit the old manor house, surrounded by a deep ditch with water. All the earth - from the walls of the house to the water - overgrown with burdock , but so high that small children can stand under the largest of its leaves to his full height .

In most burdock was as dull and wildly as in a dense forest , and it was there that was sitting on the eggs duck. She sat for a long time , and it is a lesson rather tired . In addition, it is rarely visited , - other ducks liked to swim in the grooves than sitting in a mug yes quack with her.

Finally cracked eggshells .

Ducklings moved, clattering beaks and poked their heads .

- Pip, pip ! - They said.

- Quack , quack ! - Said the duck . - Hurry !

Ducklings somehow got out of the shell and began to look around a circle , staring at the green leaves of burdock . Mother did not prevent them - Green good for the eyes .

- Oh, how great the world ! - Said ducklings . Of course! Now it was much larger than in the shell .

- Oh, do not you think that here the whole world ? - His mother said. - What is there ! He reaches far, far away , there, for the garden, for the field ... But the truth is that he has never where I 've been ! .. Well , everything has already been selected ? - Jonah rose to her feet . - Oh no, not all ... The biggest egg tselehonkim ! But when will this be the end ! I soon lost all patience.

And she sat down again .

- Well, how are you? - Said the old duck, put his head into the thicket mug.

- Why, with one egg just can not cope , - said the young duck. - Sit , sit , and it 's not bursting . But look at those babies that have hatched. Just lovely ! All as one - a father ! And he is worthless , not even to visit me even once!

- Hold on, show me something first egg that does not burst , - said the old duck. - I do not indyusheche whether it is what is good? Well, yes , of course! .. That's just me , and once held . And how much trouble I had then with these turkeys ! You will not believe : they are afraid of the water before their corral and into a ditch . Oh, and I hissed , and quacks , and just pushed them into the water - do not go, and only. Let me take another look . Well, it is! Indyusheche ! Throw a minute let his Go teach their children to swim!

- No, I think I 'll sit , - said the young duck. - Oh, so much tolerated that can be a little more patient.

- Well, sit down ! - Said the old duck and left. And finally, a large egg cracked .

- Pip ! Peep ! - Squeaked chick and fell out of the shell .

But what he was big and ugly ! Duck looked at it from all sides and clasped their wings.

- Horrible freak! - She said. - And it is not like the others ! I do not poult whether it really? Well, in the water , he will visit me , though I had to push him back by force!

The next day the weather was wonderful , green mug was filled with sunshine.

Duck with his family went to the ditch . Plop ! - And she found herself in the water.

- Quack - quack ! Follow me! Alive! - She called, and ducklings , one after another , too bultyhnulis into the water.

At first the water covered them with his head , but they now emerged and perfectly floated forward. Paws and they have earned , and earned. Even the ugly duckling gray departed not from the other .

- What kind of poult ? - Said the duck . - Look how nice rowing legs ! And just hold on! No, this is my own son . Yes, he was not so far wrong , if a good look at it . Well, .zhivo vividly for me ! I'll bring you into the society - we go to the farm . Just hold me close to someone stepped on you, so beware of cats!

Soon duck with all his brood reached bird FEB
