Short fairy tales
What a day it has been. Everyone is tired, especially moms and dads, but the children still want to hear a fairy tale. What to do? It’s easy. In such cases, short fairy tales that flow quickly and yet lose none of their magic will help. If you’re already looking forward to bed, read a short fairy tale, give a goodnight kiss, and off to sleep you go. There will be time for a long fairy tale again next time.
Masha and the Bear – How they both found a friend
Once upon a time there was a little girl called Masha. She lived at the edge of the forest in the only house far and wide. That’s why she was sorry she didn’t have any friends there. But she still enjoyed playing with the animals in the yard.

Once upon a time in a pond there lived frog daddies and frog mummies with their baby frogs. Because they wanted their children to be smart, they sent them to frog school. Frog school was a place on the surface of the pond where the water lilies grew thick. Each frog sat on a water lily leaf and listened to the teacher.

There was a tiny village in the deep black forest. It was hidden among the moss and ferns. You couldn’t see it with the naked eye. One could only see it if one knelt down, was completely silent, and looked hard into the ferns. Then he might have seen a small village where the elves lived. There were several of them. They worked hard, they were cheerful and always singing as they worked. But one of them wasn’t like that. His name was Gloom. He wasn’t mean, he just rarely laughed and his most common words were: “No, I don’t want to, I don’t like it.”

In the land of fairies, far away from us humans, there is a strange land. It is a place full of secrets and mysteries. People say that there is a hidden treasure in that land. Nobody knows what the treasure is and where is it hidden. It is well hidden and the path to it is not easy. Many people tried to find it, but came back empty-handed.

Far away in a deep forest stood a wooden cottage. It had a red roof, a wooden door, painted windows with coloured curtains and was all green. It looked absolutely fabulous. There lived a good little witch with her husband, the wizard. They were both too old, but because they were magical, it didn’t matter.

Mickey and Richie were two polar bears. They lived near the Arctic Circle. This is a place where it is very cold and snowy all year round. They liked living there very much because they liked winter and cold weather. But because they were two restless and clever bears, they were always making something up.

If you look up in the sky, you’ll see the clouds moving fast. It’s not a given. They’re driven by the wind. Sometimes it’s so strong that the clouds literally run across the sky, and sometimes it’s so weak that the clouds barely swing. Where does that wind come from? And who controls it? They say there are wind elves who fly among the clouds and blow them away. There are many of them, but people can’t see them. They fly high and hide among the clouds.

Once upon a time there was a big building at the end of our town. It had lots of windows and about three floors. It was grey and at first glance it looked sad. It was a children’s hospital where sick children went. Some were there for a while, they just needed to be treated and could go home, others had to stay for days because they were too sick. Some were even brought in by ambulance. Sara was one of those children.

You don’t see many animals in the city. You’re more likely to see cars, motorbikes, scooters, lots of people and children playing. But occasionally, you can find a wild animal in the city. For example, you can sometimes see birds’ nests in the trees. They’ll find a tall tree with forked branches. They carefully place branch after branch and leaf after leaf until they have a comfortable and solid nest. One such tree, where the birds lived, stood right in front of Edith’s house.
