A tale about sea animals

- I swim the fastest! - the crab once said.

- Why do you think so? - asked the turtle.

- But why? Today I have already overtaken three: a starfish, a shell and a sea urchin. And I'll overtake you.

“We still need to look at this,” the turtle disagreed with him.

- Well, look. And the crab energetically began to work with all ten legs. He swam around, stopped and said:

- And now you.

The cunning turtle looked at the crab swimming and said:

- This way we won’t find out who is faster. We need to have a competition.

— Swimming championship? This is cool! – the crab exclaimed joyfully. He already saw himself as a champion.

And the turtle continued judiciously:

“But first we need to find a judge.” Do not compete without a judge. But who could it be?

Both became thoughtful, but not for long.

- Here comes the squid! - exclaimed the crab. - He will be our judge.

But the squid flatly refused:

- I won’t judge. I want to race with you.

- Then maybe she is? – the crab pointed to the floating jellyfish. She exclaimed:

- And I! And I want to race!

The turtle thought and said:

- That's who will be a good judge. This is a lobster. He knows how to run competitions. We swam to him.

The mustachioed lobster immediately agreed. The claw drew a straight line on the sandy bottom and said:

- This is the start. And the finish is at that underwater rock.

The squid was horrified:

- So far? Not a single heart of mine can stand it.

- What, do you have a lot of them? – the crab was surprised.

- No, not much. Just three. But everyone is weak, so I can’t swim far.

“We need to train,” the crab reproached him. And the lobster said:

“Then the finish line will be that yellow coral.” Whoever swims to it first is the winner. And now - off to the start!

Everyone sat in a straight line.

- Stop! Stop! Stop! – the judge waved his claws. - That’s no good!

All the athletes stared at him:

- Why isn’t it good?

- You can not do it this way. Only one turtle got to the starting line correctly. Here you are, crab, why did you turn sideways towards the finish line?

- Because I don’t know how to swim straight. “I only move sideways,” he replied.

- So what? – the lobster was indignant. - Swim as you wish. But at the start you must stand straight, facing the finish.

The judge then addressed the squid:

- Why did you turn away and look behind you?

- In order to swim forward. I only swim backwards.

But the lobster was already scolding the jellyfish:

- Well, why did you lie down on your side ?

“I always do this if I need to hurry.” I lie down “on my side” : dome forward, tentacles back. “So I swim much faster,” she justified herself.

- No! No! No! Swim as you wish. But at the start you should stand, not lie down, the mustachioed lobster objected and added indignantly:

- What kind of competition is this if no one follows the rules? Some will turn sideways and stare around. Others will turn their backs to the finish line. And still others will die down at the start.

- What about the rules? – asked the curious hedgehog fish. She stopped nearby and watched carefully.

“We all need to face forward, towards the finish line.” And wait for my command,” explained the stern judge.

“Then I want to come with you,” said the prickly fish and stood next to the turtle.

- On your marks! — the lobster-judge commanded again and looked sternly at all the athletes. They froze on the line and, without blinking, looked ahead at the yellow coral.

- Attention! – the lobster raised its claw upward. Then he lowered it sharply and shouted:

- March!

And everyone took off. Only each in his own way, from his own starting position.

Medusa flew up. She couldn't do it any other way. Crab - to the left. Squid - back. He couldn't help it either. And the prickly fish swelled up from excitement and became completely round, like a ball, and could no longer swim. It remained hanging like a prickly ball over the starting line.

Only one turtle resolutely walked forward, straight towards the yellow coral.

Soon others came to their senses. We turned around and hurried to the finish line. But it was already too late. The turtle was the first to complete the distance and was already resting near the yellow coral. The stern judge recorded her victory.

This is how the slow turtle turned out to be the fastest.

Tales of the Sea

Short tales about the sea and its inhabitants.

Why does the crab have no head? (African folk tale).

Goddess Nzambi created all animals. She started creating the Crab just before bedtime and didn't have enough time to finish it. “Come tomorrow, I will give you the head,” she said. “It takes Nzambi two days to make me, because I am a very important person,” the Crab boasted to the other animals. Nzambi heard about the crab's boasting and decided not to give him his head. The crab hid under a rock in shame. To this day, he pokes his eyes right out from under the sink, since he still has no head.

Tiddalik causes a flood. (Australian folk tale).

Tiddalik was the largest frog in the world. One day he drank water from all the ponds, lakes and rivers of the world. All that was left was the water in the seas. But the animals could not drink salt water, so they had to die of thirst. Luckily, Eel had an idea. He began a funny dance which made Tiddalik laugh. When his mouth opened, water flowed into ponds, lakes and rivers, and the animals were saved.

Magic fish. (Scandinavian folk tale).

One day a poor fisherman caught a magic fish. “Let me go, and I will do everything you wish,” said the fish. The fisherman wanted a big house, and his wish came true. He caught the magic fish again and again and made more and more wishes. And his every wish came true. But when the fisherman demanded the moon and stars, the fish decided that he was too greedy and took all his gifts. And the fisherman became poor again.

Why is the water salty? (Norwegian folk tale).

One day a sailor stole a magic mill that could grind whatever you wanted. He took her to sea on his ship and demanded that the mill grind salt for him. When there was enough salt, he ordered the mill to stop, but did not know the magic words. Soon there was so much salt that the ship and the mill sank to the bottom of the sea, and the mill continued to grind salt. She continues to grind it to this day, which is why the sea is salty.

How the starfish was born. (Based on a story by Donald Bisset).

One day, on a dark, starry night, seven elephants decided to catch a falling star. They went to the top of the sea cliff and, climbing one on top of the other, formed a tower. The baby elephant, who was at the very top, reached out and took out the shooting star with his trunk. But he couldn’t hold her and dropped her into the sea! A passing fish swallowed it and turned into a starfish.

A white, white ship sailed across the blue, blue sea. It was early morning, and the people on the ship were still fast asleep. The sea was clean and transparent. Both the sky and the fluffy clouds were reflected in it so clearly, as if in a huge mirror. In the azure waters, diamond fish frolicked as if in a merry dance, majestic whales noisily released fountains, and fancy gelatinous jellyfish glided in a slow and graceful dance. And snow-white gulls flew over the sea, they smoothly descended onto the soft waves and basked in the first rays of the gentle sun. It was quiet and calm around. But suddenly, a black oil slick emerged from under the white ship. It laughed evilly and howled: “Finally, I’m free!” Stupid people are sleeping and do not know that their ship has leaked, and the stain began to quickly spread across the surface of the Blue Sea. Where it swam, all living things died on its way: algae and corals withered, pearls and shells faded, and fish, shellfish, and crabs died in whole flocks. When snow-white seagulls descended onto the waves, the Black Spot immediately sucked them into its poisonous slurry. It greedily devoured all the inhabitants of the Blue Sea, and every minute it became larger and larger, more and more terrible and terrible, it gained strength... And people living on the sea coast returned home without a catch, were sad and perplexed: “Where did all the fish disappear?” » But this was not enough for the Black Spot, and it wanted to take possession of the entire sea and destroy all its inhabitants. - Soon, very soon the Dead Sea will be here! I will poison the Blue Sea, and neither fish, nor animals, nor birds will live here. I will release a poisonous fog into the sky, and the bright sun will never shine again! There will be eternal night and eternal silence here! – the spot howled loudly, instilling terrible fear in all the inhabitants. “I, and only I, will be the mighty Lord of the Blue Sea!” And so the Black Spot grew to gigantic proportions, and it seemed that nothing could stop it. The sea became black and choppy. The sky was covered with heavy poisonous clouds, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate this dense curtain. Fierce waves rushed at each other with a wild roar, raising huge foamy crests. And over the sea, the ominous laughter of the Black Spot was heard louder and louder. The surviving sea inhabitants hurried to quickly swim away to other seas and oceans. Anxiety and confusion gripped the residents of the coast. Several fishing boats have already not returned to their native shores; the Black Spot mercilessly swallowed them, like insignificant grains of sand. Overwhelmed by fear of the raging elements, people hid in their homes. And now even the bravest daredevils did not dare to go out into the blackened and hostile sea. And then the diamond fish remembered the old and wise Stingray, who lived at the very bottom of the Blue Sea. He rarely swam out of his shelter, preferring to sleep peacefully all day long, buried deep in the sand. After carefully listening to the frightened fish, Skat said: “Far, far away, behind the high Gray rocks, in the deepest and most beautiful Emerald Bay, emerald dolphins live.” Since ancient times, dolphins have been the guardians of the Blue Sea. Oh, these are the smartest and friendliest sea animals, they never give up in trouble! Only they can help us! But we need to hurry before the Black Spot destroys the entire sea. I will show you the way to Emerald Bay. And then, the little fish harnessed two golden skates to a large mother-of-pearl shell and, placing old Stingray in it, hurried to the Gray Rocks. It seemed as if the sea itself had come to the aid of the diamond fish; they were immediately picked up by an undercurrent and quickly carried to where old Skat was pointing. Only at sunset, in a shroud of sparkling spray, the Gray Rocks appeared, and behind them - the Emerald Bay. The wise dolphins, having learned about the Black Spot, immediately began to call all their brothers and sisters from the neighboring seas to help. Thousands of dolphins swam to the call of their relatives. Having gathered in huge flocks, the first thing they did was swim to the fishermen and ask them for the largest and strongest nets, such that not a single drop of the poisonous stain could seep into the sea. “But where can we get such networks?” - people thought. And then they remembered the sails. Yes, yes, the sails are the strongest and most reliable, impregnated with thick resins, they withstood even the most ferocious winds and stormy waves! From all corners of the coast, fishermen began to bring sails taken from their ships and sew them together with strong threads. People were in a hurry and by the morning of the next day, hundreds of meters of sails were sewn into one giant cloth. And so thousands of dolphins, holding huge nets in their teeth, rushed in a swift avalanche to where the treacherous spot was raging. Brave animals surrounded the enemy from all sides and began to drive him into the net. The black spot resisted fiercely, it darted from side to side, throwing itself at the nets with huge sticky tentacles, but the dense ring of dolphins inexorably shrank. In impotent hatred, the spot spat black slurry, released clouds of poisonous fog, but could not escape from the trap. Choking with anger and fear, it howled and growled threateningly: “I’ll show you, you nasty dolphins!” I am the mighty Lord of this sea! You will still remember me, you stupid creatures! I will poison all your seas and oceans! But the emerald dolphins unanimously pulled the nets to the shore, to where the people were waiting for them. Only at the end of the day, tired and exhausted from the grueling battle, the dolphins drove the Black Spot to the very shore. And all the people immediately began to collect it in buckets, barrels and burn it over a hot fire in huge cast-iron cauldrons. For several days, from dawn to dusk, people worked without rest... Finally, not a single drop remained of the Black Spot. At the same moment, the poisonous fog suddenly cleared, the sky brightened, and the bright sun shone again. The sea became calm and transparent. It came to life right before our eyes: beautiful coral gardens blossomed, bizarre sea anemones blossomed like fantastic flowers, lush forests of emerald algae grew, whole flocks of fish, shellfish, crabs returned... Oh, how the people and inhabitants of the Blue Sea rejoiced! The diamond fish dived and twirled merrily in a waltz, dragging old Stingray along with them. The golden skates started racing across the azure waves. And the emerald dolphins released thousands of crystal fountains into the sky, the splashes of which, falling from above, turned into sparkling rain. People smiled, dolphins smiled. Together they saved the Blue Sea!

Whale

Since ancient times, people called all sea creatures fish, regardless of what biological class the creature belonged to. This is how the legends about the miracle Yudo fish-whale appeared, which is so huge that it supports an entire city with villages, churches, arable lands and pastures on its back. Here we recall the ancient teaching that the Earth stands on three pillars. And even now the main terms of any science are called whales. The city in the tales of the miracle fish is often built on the poor animal as punishment for the fact that it swallowed many ships with travelers who had been in its belly for a long time. But even the most fabulous tale about a fish-whale will not convey the primitive fear of our ancestors of the bottomless ocean, according to their ideas, teeming with sea monsters. It was believed that the wooden ships of seafarers did not disappear without a trace. They were necessarily dragged to the bottom by huge monsters living in salty waters.
