Tales about traffic rules
“Rules of the Road” and “Idle Traffic Light” are wonderful fairy tales in verse, told to us by Svetlana Vyacheslavovna Neiman (Znayki group)
I want to tell you one simple fairy tale, or maybe not a fairy tale, but maybe not a simple one. About traffic rules, about wise traffic lights, about polite drivers. Well, let's start.
There was an ordinary traffic light, familiar to all people, it always worked perfectly, but suddenly it fell ill. It doesn’t want to light up red, and the green one doesn’t light up, only the yellow one blinks, it probably ate something. And this traffic light stood at the intersection, it stood near the school, where there were children here and there. And here across the road, kids and teenagers are always running, running, running without hesitation. You can’t do it without delay, there are traffic rules, even though your loved one is sick at the traffic light. You look to the left, then look to the right and walk if you don't hear a motor nearby. At this intersection, an inexperienced inspector, waving his stick, created a traffic jam. And then, out of outrage over the traffic rules, our wise traffic light suddenly started working again. How the red light came on, “The road here is dangerous,” and the yellow light, “Get ready,” he warned everyone. When the green light is on - “Go, the passage is clear”, it worked properly, and all the congestion disappeared. Driver be attentive, and also very vigilant, such intersections are more difficult than all others. Every parent's soul ache for every boy and girl. The idea of this fairy tale, or maybe not a fairy tale, will be understood not only by adults, but even by kids. When crossing the road, look at the traffic lights, your light is always green, walk and take your time.
"Slacker Traffic Light"
In the forest, where everyone had walked without rules until now, one day a traffic light appeared. A bear brought it from somewhere off the road, and the animals came running to look at the equipment. And the hedgehog was the first to start: “What nonsense!” Both current and wires are needed for a traffic light. And if it doesn’t burn properly, then we shouldn’t even look at this thing. - I agree with the hedgehog! - Said the wolf, yawning. - And if he worked, what good would he be? When I'm chasing a hare, it just doesn't make sense for me to run towards a green light or stand at a red light. “And I,” said the little bunny, “when I’m already running, I can’t keep an eye on the traffic light, excuse me.” - I don’t need him either! - The mole said from the hole. “I’ll dig my own underground passage!” Hearing reasonable words above me - and I, friends, am flying! - said the owl.
Everything remains as it was, the dense forest is noisy, the idler traffic light is swinging on the tree. But you and I are not hares, not wolves, not moles, everyone goes to work, and you go to school. And cars rush past with their lights on, and we need your lights at the intersections. They help us, they teach us from an early age, to step into a green light, to stand at a red light!!!
“How Cheburashka, Crocodile Gena and their friends taught the rules of the road”
Cheburashka lived in a telephone booth, and in the morning he went to the zoo. His best friend, the crocodile Gena, worked there as a crocodile. It is unknown what would have happened next if Traffic Light Migailovich had not appeared on the street. When Cheburashka crossed the street in the wrong place, all the cars, trams, and trolleybuses stopped dead in their tracks. And Svetofor Migailovich said: “You don’t know how to walk the streets.” Very ashamed! You should always know the rules of the road so that trouble does not happen to you! Cheburashka asked: -What are the rules of the road? -Here they are, the rules. Signs are hung overhead. Along the pavement, Traffic Light Migailovich led him to school, where Cheburashka found out what the mysterious signs were written above his head near the road. Traffic light Migailovich blinked his eyes cheerfully and said: “I have three glass eyes: the top one is red, below it is yellow and at the very bottom is green.” I stand on the streets and intersections, alternately closing my eyes - opening them - driving the road. And now, Cheburashka, open your eyes, and look, don’t make a mistake. Red light - no way through. Yellow - get ready. Green - go. Cheburashka also learned that you need to cross the street only at a pedestrian crossing where there is a “Crossing” sign. After his adventures, Cheburashka ran to his friend, but on the way he did not forget to cross the street when the light was green.
-Cheburashka, where have you been? - asked Gena. -I became friends with Traffic Light Migailovich. Let's go, I'll introduce you to him, he stands at all intersections. He is very kind and smart. Cheburashka and Gena went out onto the street of their hometown and suddenly they saw their old friend - the small and nimble old lady Shapoklyak. She walked along the sidewalk and led a large gray Lariska rat on a string. Seeing Gena and Cheburashka, she ran across the road to tell them. That she has come up with another evil and that she needs help. But at that time the traffic light was red, and Shapoklyak was hit by a car. She broke her arm and knocked out her last baby tooth. An ambulance arrived and took the old woman to the hospital.
Gena and Cheburashka, of course, were very worried about her, and constantly visited her in the hospital. One day they brought Svetofor Migailovich with them. He shook his head sadly, listening to the story of Cheburashka and Gena. And he said: - And if the driver had said: - And I sneezed at the traffic lights, I started driving at random, the guard would leave his post, the trolleybus would drive as he wanted, everyone would walk as best they could. Yes, where the street was, where you were used to walking, incredible things would happen instantly! To keep you healthy and save you from troubles, I will tell you a few more rules. Which everyone should know. Be careful! A girl named Yulia came to visit Shapoklyak at the hospital. She brought her two apples and an orange. Seeing such a company together with Traffic Light, she sat down and began to listen. Traffic light Migailovich began to continue: - In a second, a car with a speed of 60 km/h travels 16 meters. And if its speed is 80 km/h, then 22 meters. Some people in a hurry see that the car is very close, but no! Still in a hurry to run across the road in front of her very nose. Little does he know that, with all the desire and effort, the driver will not be able to stop in time, even if he presses on the brakes with all his might. Especially if the road goes downhill. As a result, at a speed of 80 km/h, on an ice-covered road, the car will be able to stop only after 400 m. That is why the road must be crossed carefully, especially in winter. Walk carefully, watch the street, only cross it where possible! -Thank you very much, Svetofor Migailovich! “You told us the rules of the road in an interesting way,” said Gena the crocodile. And old lady Shapoklyak even cried: “I will never break these rules again.” I will do only good deeds, I swear by my rat - Lariska! The girl Julia was very proud of her friends and promised to tell her classmates about what she heard. -Dear Svetofor Migailovich! When we build the House of Friendship, please come and visit us, we will all be glad to see you,” said Gena the crocodile. And a month later there was a great holiday. The House of Friendship was built. All the builders showed up handsome and smart, and Svetofor Migailovich winked at the guests with his eyes. Crocodile Gena wore the best suit and straw hat. The girl Julia was wearing her favorite red cap. Cheburashka gave an excited speech. -We built, we built, and finally we built! Hooray! And now the floor is given to our beloved Traffic Light Migailovich. Traffic light Migailovich smiled, winked with his green eye and said: -Dear guests! Memorize this like a multiplication table! Both avenues and boulevards, the streets are noisy everywhere, walk along the sidewalk, only on the right side! If there is a bicycle on the sign, it says "Bike Lane." Remember that you can only ride a bicycle from the age of 14, and if you are younger, wait a little longer. Do not play snowballs, football, or sledding near the roads. Most often, the trolleybus and bus stop is located behind an intersection or pedestrian crossing. Therefore, you need to go to the pedestrian crossing and cross the street there. An intersection is the most dangerous place for a pedestrian. You need to cross it only at pedestrian crossings. On a street where there is no pedestrian crossing, you must cross from one corner to another. Before you cross the street. Look to your left. When you reach the middle, look to the right. Never cross the street in front of nearby traffic. You need to remember these simple rules. Goodbye, friends. Sincerely yours Svetofor Migailovich.

Fairy tales based on traffic rules for preschoolers
Three little bunnies
Once upon a time there lived a hare in the forest. And she had three little bunnies. One was called Ushastik, the second was Fluffy, and the third was Jumper. Two - Ushastik and Fluffy - were obedient bunnies, and the third - Jumper - was such a fidget, it was just trouble.
One day, the bunnies decided to play catch in a pine forest, but the forest was far from home. The bunnies decided to ask their mother for time off. After listening to the hares, the hare said : “The forest is far away, and before you get there, you must cross the main road. Large cars are driving along the road. Sometimes they stop. They are controlled by a traffic light that gives signals. If the light turns red, you have to stand and wait for the cars to pass. And when the light turns green, you can cross the road. Remember this and you will be safe.
After listening to their mother’s order, the bunnies ran into the forest. They ran and ran and found themselves near a road along which large trucks, cars, buses and other vehicles were passing. At this time, the traffic light was red. Ushastik and Fluffy learned the mother-bunny's order well and began to wait for the green light to turn on. But Jumper didn’t like to wait. He didn’t wait and rushed to run across the road. Ushastik and Fluffy were very scared and began shouting after them: “Stop, you can’t cross the road at a red light!”
- but Jumper didn’t hear them anymore - the big car didn’t have time to brake and hit the little bunny. Ushastik and Fluffy ran after the mother bunny:
- Mom, mom, there’s trouble! The jumper did not listen to you, ran into a red light and was hit by a car.
Having learned about the trouble, the hare rushed to save the poor, naughty little bunny. When she came running, Jumper was lying on the grass with his paw torn off and crying loudly. The bunny mother picked him up and hurried to Doctor Aibolit: “Doctor, help, my little bunny was running along the road, and his legs were cut, and now he is sick and lame, small my little bunny." And Aibolit said : “It doesn’t matter, give it here.” I’ll sew him new legs so he can run along the forest paths.”
Doctor Aibolit cured the little hare and asked sternly: “Now, Jumper, do you know how to cross the road and at what traffic light? Will you break traffic rules anymore? The little hare lowered his head, he was very ashamed, and quietly said : “I know.”
.
Do you guys know?
Traffic Light Lessons
Once upon a time there was a traffic light. He got tired of standing in one place and flashing lights: “I’ll go for a walk, I’ll look at everything, show myself.”
.
And the traffic light went along the road. He walked and walked and turned into the forest. Wild animals, birds, insects saw him and each thought to himself: the ant thinks: “How tall”
, the magpie thinks:
“How important
,” the lizard thinks:
“How beautiful,”
the hare thinks:
“I’m afraid of him.”
And the hedgehog came up and asked:
- Who are you? Somehow we have never met a three-eyed beast in our forest.
- I am not an animal, I am a traffic light, and my eyes are not simple. They help regulate traffic on the roads. I walked through the forest and didn’t see a single sign, not a single traffic light. How do you manage without them?
— What are road signs and what are they for? - animals, birds and insects asked the Traffic Light.
The traffic light blinked its eyes and looked at everyone in surprise: he did not understand how it was possible not to know what signs were and what they were needed for. But he decided to help the inhabitants of the forest and tell about everything he knew.
“So, listen,” began the Traffic Light, “there are different road signs: indicating, prohibiting, warning and others.” They talk about where you can cross the road, where to turn, where you can walk and where you can’t, how to get to the hospital, etc. I have three eyes: red, yellow, green. I can talk to them too.
- How to talk? – the magpie was surprised.
— Very simple (the traffic light lit up the red eye)
.
If the red eye is open, pedestrians are told: “Stop and wait!”
- Oh, the yellow eye has opened! - exclaimed the squirrel, - so you can go?
- No! You can't move on yet. The yellow eye tells pedestrians to prepare to cross. But when I open my green eye, it’s time to cross the road. You need to walk calmly and look around. Do you understand everything? The animals, birds and insects nodded in unison, thanked the traffic light for the lesson and went about their business. And the traffic light returned to its place and again began to help regulate traffic.
Pooh and the three-eyed miracle.
Golden autumn has arrived! At this time of year, deciduous rabbits are born. They are called so because they are born when the leaves fall from the trees. This is how the glorious little bunny Pooh was born.
“Grow up healthy, baby,” said mom .
When the little hare grew up, he went on a journey.
“Be careful on the street,” his mother told him.
And so he walked merrily along the road... For a long time he wandered along forest paths, through flower meadows, until he came to a huge city... The hum of cars, the noise of roads, but nothing is scary for our Pooh.
But why did the little bunny stop and not move on?
- Hey, three-eyed miracle! - he shouted. “I’m traveling, and you stand and blink with your big eyes and don’t let me pass.”
- What an ill-mannered bunny! "big eyes" are for?
?
- Of course, to watch!
- No, not just look, but also show the way!
- Isn’t it for me?
- For both you and the other bunny! In general, for any adult and child.
- Well, here’s another thing, someone will point it out to me...
And our little bunny quickly walked straight along the road. Suddenly a huge truck came around the bend. What will happen now?
The noise of the wheels... the car stopped...
What about our “traveler”
? Where is he?
Our little bunny lies right in front of the wheels of the truck. The dog Barbos ran out of the cab:
- What a disgrace! Can't you see the pedestrian light is red? – and the dog pointed to the “three-eyed miracle”
.- You must stand on the sidewalk until the yellow light turns on.
And after the light turns green, you can head across the road! Do you really know such simple rules?
Our Pooh blushed and did not answer Barbos.
The little hare ran up to the “three-eyed miracle”
and
said :
“I will definitely remember these rules!” Honestly! Let's be friends with you! My name is Pooh, what's yours?
- Traffic light! I am very pleased that you finally understand how important it is to be friends with traffic signals!
The little hare was very happy, walked happily along the road, and the Traffic Light blinked his green eye after him. Do you remember what rules the dog Barbos Pooh taught?
Introducing Mishka, the playful little girl, to the walking path.
Once upon a time there was Mishka, he was a naughty boy. One morning, without waiting for his mother, he went to kindergarten.
He stomped along the road happily. Cars and trucks, motorcycles, buses and trolleybuses rushed past him.
And then he saw something strange.
- Hey, road monster, why are you standing here?
- Ay-ay-ay, ignoramus! Every child knows me from the cradle! Do you guys recognize me? Who am I?
- Right! I am the Traffic Light! My signals are needed and important! Ask any kid and he will tell you what red, yellow and green lights mean.
Do you guys remember?
- But tell me, how did you end up alone on the road?
- I'm in a hurry to go to kindergarten!
-Where is your mother?
Mishka didn’t answer, he just lowered his head.
- Yes... Things are bad! What to do?
- But it’s very close to me! There's my garden, you just need to cross the road!
No. I remember. You need to cross the road when the traffic light is green!
- Correct, but this is not enough. You need to cross the road at a special pedestrian crossing:
Walk along the pedestrian path,
She's like a zebra at our feet
Lies across the road.
The little animals know all the rules,
They are never violated!
“And this road sign will help, the pedestrian crossing will be indicated for you, Mishka, always,” added the Traffic Light.
- Thank you! I promise that without my mother I will never go out onto the roadway again, and I will always remember that you need to cross the road when the traffic light is green and only where there is a pedestrian crossing.
And Mishka, the naughty boy, walked across the road, and never again upset his mother or violated the traffic rules.
Do you guys always cross the road correctly?
Three traffic lights.
One day the bear cub Toptyzhka was riding on a tram with his mother. Mishka was sitting by the window and suddenly saw a bright flashlight.
- Mom, look at the lantern hanging on the wire.
At this time the "lantern"
The red light came on and the tram stopped.
- Why are we standing? - asked Toptyzhka.
— Now, pedestrians will cross the road, and the tram will move again.
“We’ll probably never go.” There are too many pedestrians,” the little bear sighed and continued to look out the window.
The lantern turned on a green light and suddenly spoke to Toptyzhka:
- I am not a “lantern”
, and Traffic Light! My lights are reliable helpers. They are not simple, but magical.
- It’s like “magic”
? - the little bear was surprised.
“Very simple,” continued Traffic Light. - Red light - stop! Yellow light - attention! We need to get ready to move. Green light - boldly go forward!
- And everyone listens to such commands?
- Of course, because if you don’t follow them, disaster can happen!
What do you think will happen?
Then the light turned green and the tram began moving again.
- See, son, we're going again!
- This is because the traffic light turned green! Toptyzhka said importantly .
How Winnie the Pooh looked for his way to kindergarten
From letters that guys send to Winnie the Pooh
, the little bear chose the largest one.
- Tigger, listen to what is written here! - said Winnie the Pooh to Tigre . - “Dear Winnie - Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and all, all, all! Come visit us at the Blue Bird
. We have a lot of fun and interesting. We will wait for you!"
- This is an invitation! - said Piglet .
— Tigers love to visit! – Tigger was happy.
- Winnie - Poohs also love to visit! - said Winnie the Pooh .
And they all went to the big city of Tolyatti, next to their forest.
And here is Tigger, Winnie the Pooh, and Piglet on the street of a big city.
“Oh, how scary,” whispered Piglet.
“Be brave, go ahead,” said Winnie the Pooh . “Just think, I was scared,” and he walked across the street, followed by his friends.
But before they had time to reach the middle, something creaked and rang...
The animals ran away in fear...
Piglet, seeing a hole, rushed into it...
- Where are you going? What do you want here? – a menacing voice rang out.
- I need an underground, safe street...
- Yes, you are lost! This street is nearby, look at the sign!
- Calmly! - Winnie the Pooh said to himself . — I remember Christopher Robin talking about some kind of transition stripes.
- Tiger, skin him! Let's lay down your stripes and let's cross the road!
It is unknown what would have happened next, but then a traffic light appeared.
- Ah ah ah! – he blinked his lights. - Stop! – and turned on the red eye.
All the cars stopped.
-You don’t know how to walk down the street! YOU DON'T KNOW THE SIGNS! – Svetofrchik was indignant and sang his song:
The alphabet of streets, avenues, roads.
The city gives us a lesson all the time.
Here is the alphabet above your head:
Signs are posted along the pavement.
Always remember the alphabet of the city,
So that no trouble happens to you!
“What signs should we know in order to get to our friends’ kindergarten as quickly as possible?” asked Piglet.
“There are very few of them,” answered the traffic light. — First, look where the “pedestrian crossing”
.
Then wait for the green signal from my eyes.
Now cross the road strictly at the zebra crossing
.
If you do this, you will very quickly get to the Blue Bird
- Thank you. Tigers love zebras very much, they are striped too! - Tigger was happy
- Thank you... Green is my favorite color! - Piglet whispered.
- Thank you. My favorite color is blue, like the one on the Pedestrian Crossing
!
- said Winnie the Pooh .
- Hooray! - the animals shouted. We understood and walked down the street to the kindergarten, where boys and girls had been waiting for them for a long time.
My friend Traffic Light.
When I was a little girl, I was friends with a traffic light.
Guys, do you know what a traffic light is?
The traffic light serves as a guard on the road. It shows when and who can go and who can stand. Only the guard does this with the help of his staff, and the Traffic Light is helped by multi-colored “eyes”
. Red – stand, yellow – attention, green – the way is open.
And then one day my friend Svetofor told me a story about two brothers - bear cubs, who came from the forest to the city for a walk. The older brother's name was Toptygin, the younger brother's name was Mishutka. They lived in the forest, where neither a traffic light, nor a guard, nor road signs were needed. Because in the forest there are no roads or footpaths, but only paths and paths. Even cars are prohibited from driving there so as not to pollute the environment.
So the bear cub brothers came to the city, but they don’t know how to behave on the city streets, because they didn’t learn the rules of the road. They jumped out onto the road, and there was a red light for pedestrians. They were almost hit by a car, they barely managed to dodge.
They walked further through the city and came to a dead end, because they didn’t know that there was a “Closed”
. They had to go back.
They took a different route - they didn’t recognize the “Road Works”
, I had to take a detour again.
Soon the younger Mishutka got hungry, and nearby there was a sign “Food station”
. Since the cub brothers didn’t know the signs, they didn’t find the canteen...
So they had to return to the forest without seeing anything. And we didn’t get to the park, or the theater, or the cinema...
Therefore, they decided to first learn the rules of the road, and then go to the city.
My friend Svetofor told this instructive story
Dispute on the road
One day the traffic lights quarreled among themselves.
“I’m in charge,” said the red light , “because when I light up, everyone stops and doesn’t dare move on.”
“No, I’m in charge,” said the yellow light , “when I light up, everyone gets ready to move: both pedestrians and cars.”
“And when I light up,” said the green light , “everyone starts moving.” This means that I am the most important and everyone must obey me.
They argued for a long time, blinking their lights and not seeing what was happening on the road. And there was real confusion - cars did not give way to pedestrians, ran into them and each other, breaking headlights, scratching cabs and bodies; pedestrians also walked, without waiting for the cars to pass, and interfered with them and each other. It was unclear what was going on at the intersection: cars were crowded together, honking their horns, flashing their headlights, whatever was left. If someone wanted to give way, he couldn’t: there was a traffic jam on the road.
- What have we done! - said the red traffic light, seeing what was happening on the road.
- Is it all because of us? – I was surprised by the yellow traffic light.
— We urgently need to correct the situation and restore order! – the green signal said affirmatively.
The lights began to light up, as before, in turn - red, yellow, green. For a long time they restored order on the road, and only when traffic was restored did they say with relief:
We, the signals, are all important,
Everyone is needed on the road.
Since then, they never argued again and always lit up in turns - red, yellow, green.
A fairy tale about how the boy Misha began to always follow the TRAFFIC RULES!
In one city there lived a boy. His name was Misha.
Misha was a good boy, but he didn’t want to follow the traffic rules at all. And the teachers at school taught Misha the rules, and the parents, and even strangers, but the boy kept repeating one thing: “The rules are wrong, what are they for?”
And when Misha was reprimanded and sometimes scolded, he always blamed someone else, but he never considered himself guilty.
Misha goes to school in the morning, crosses the road, and counts the crows flying past. A motorcycle stops in front of him with a screech, the motorcyclist teaches Misha, and he responds: “It’s the birds’ fault!”
Misha is playing ball on the road, the bus stops, the driver asks the boy to leave the roadway, since according to the traffic rules it is forbidden to play there. Misha responds:
. ” And this was always the case until one incredible story happened to him.
Once Misha was crossing the road at an intersection where there was a traffic light. The boy looks - the red light is on, but there are no cars.
Misha, without a doubt, stepped onto the roadway, when suddenly, out of nowhere, a small and not at all new car appeared, driven by an old man. “Where are you, boy, in such a hurry, not following the traffic rules? You could have gotten under the wheels of my car!” - said the elderly man . Misha, as always, answered: “It’s the traffic light’s fault, the light should be green, because there was no one around. And in general, these are wrong rules, such old people should not drive cars, it is better to walk or even sit at home.” “Wrong rules? — For some reason the old man smiled. - Okay, then you will really like living in the “Land of Wrong Traffic Rules!”
With these words, both the car and the old man disappeared, as if they had never existed. At that same moment, such a strong wind rose that Misha closed his eyes in fear. When he dared and looked around, he saw houses, a road, footpaths, but everything was unfamiliar to him. He still stood in the middle of the road and wondered what had happened, and what other country was the old man talking about?
Just as Misha was about to take a step, he saw a cyclist rushing straight towards him. The cyclist caught Misha’s bicycle handlebars in his backpack, and they both fell straight onto the asphalt. “What are you talking about! You can’t ride a bicycle in the middle of the road!”
- Misha was indignant, trying to get to his feet.
The cyclist turned out to be a boy of the same age as Misha. He stood up, picked up the bike and said : “Are you new? This is a country of “Wrong Traffic”
, here everyone goes where they want!” With these words, the boy got on his bike and rushed away. Misha hurried to the side of the road.
Before Misha had even walked ten steps, a truck jumped out from around the bend. The truck was driving along the sidewalk path and straight at the boy. Misha jumped into the ditch and shouted after him: “Don’t you know that only people walk on footpaths!”
Misha almost began to cry and hurried away. He turned onto a street where there was a lot of traffic. On the other side he suddenly saw an old man he knew. “Wait!”
- Misha shouted.
But how could he get to the other side of the road? “There must be an underground pedestrian crossing somewhere
,” he thought. But, alas! According to the rules of this country, there were no pedestrian crossings at all. The old man disappeared again, but suddenly Misha saw a terrible picture: a little girl ran out onto the road. She, apparently, also wanted to cross to the other side, and now found herself among moving traffic. Misha began waving his arms, trying to stop the cars passing by. He tried his best, and finally the transport stopped. He took the girl by the hand and led her across the road. “You can’t, you can’t, cross the road in the wrong place! - he taught the child.
- And where are your parents? You can’t even approach the roadway alone!”
The girl was silent, apparently she didn’t know any of this. She pointed to the house and, saying that she lived there, ran away. Misha decided that no matter what, he needed to find that old man so that he could bring him back home, he really didn’t like this country. And then he saw a fairly old man walking along the right side of the road. “Wait!”
- Misha shouted, but the man did not hear him, as he was listening to music on his mobile phone and looking at something there.
Cars honked at him, but he didn’t notice them either. “What ignorance of traffic rules! After all, you can only walk on the left side, and you can’t be distracted when you’re next to the roadway!” - Misha didn’t have time to think when he heard the squeal of car brakes. Misha realized that something was wrong. He became completely scared and ran, but where?
Not far away, he also saw children running along the road. The guys stopped in front of each other. “Who are you and why are you running along the road where cars are driving?”
- Misha asked.
“We are training in running, we want to become athletes
,” the guys answered.
“Did you know that running along the roadway will not make you an athlete, and at best you will spend two months on crutches! Absolutely no one follows traffic rules in your country!” - Misha continued. "And what is it?"
- the guys asked.
But their attention was attracted by some noise and crackling. It turned out to be a boy of about eleven, riding a moped. He crashed straight into the road barrier while trying to turn away from the bus. “You can’t ride a moped if you are under sixteen years old
,” Misha explained.
The boy, limping and rubbing his broken knees, approached the guys. “Tell us about the rules of the road!”
- the guys asked him. “You know,” said Misha, “I also often violated traffic rules in my city, but now I understand how dangerous it is. And now I will never break a single rule! Just how can I get home?”
The boys came to the courtyard of a house where there was a sandbox. Misha began to draw road signs in the sand with a stick and explained what to do in a given situation, because he knew the rules! All children at school are taught to cross the road correctly and to be careful near the roadway. The guys listened carefully and remembered. “Now we will tell everyone what the rules of the road are, both moms and dads!” - they rejoiced. And suddenly Misha began to cry bitterly. "What happened to you? — the guys were surprised. “You helped us so much!”
“But my mother and father are also waiting for me at home, they are worried and think, what happened to me? They always told me to be careful on the road, but I didn’t listen to them! If only they knew that I would never, ever break traffic rules again!” - Misha said through tears.
And suddenly a strong wind rose again, everything began to rustle and spin around.
When everything calmed down, Misha saw that he was standing on his familiar street in front of a long-familiar traffic light. The red light was still on. Misha stood rooted to the spot, waiting for permission from the traffic light to cross the road. The boy smiled at the traffic light. And it seemed to him that the traffic light smiled back. Then Misha saw an old car passing by, driven by an elderly man. The old man waved his hand to Misha.
And then the light turned green. Misha crossed the road with pride!
Dispute on the road.
One day the traffic lights quarreled among themselves.
“I am the boss,” said the red light , “because when I light up, everyone stops and does not dare to move on.”
“No, I’m in charge,” said the yellow light , “when I light up, everyone gets ready to move - both pedestrians and cars.”
“And when I light up,” said the green light , “everyone starts moving.” This means that I am the most important and everyone must obey me.
They argued for a long time, blinking their lights and not seeing what was happening on the road. And there was real confusion - cars did not give way to pedestrians, ran into them and each other, breaking headlights, scratching the cabin and body; pedestrians also walked, without waiting for the cars to pass, and interfered with them and each other. It was unclear what was going on at the intersection - cars were crowded together, honking their horns, flashing their headlights, whatever was left. If someone wanted to give way, he couldn’t do anything - there was a traffic jam on the road.
“What have we done?” said the red traffic light, seeing what was happening on the road.
“Is it really all because of us?” the yellow traffic light was surprised.
“We urgently need to correct the situation and restore order!” the green signal said affirmatively.
The lights began to light up, as before, in turn - red, yellow, green. For a long time they restored order on the road, and only when traffic was restored did they say with relief:
We, the signals, are all important,
Everyone is needed on the road.
Since then, they never argued again and always lit up in turns - red, yellow, green.
