• There were 5 peas in one pod, they gradually grew and really wanted to see the world outside their green home. When they turned yellow, the boy tore off the pod and began to shoot peas from an elderberry tube. The peas were delighted and scattered in different directions, dreaming of getting into very interesting places.

But then the sick girl saw how the pea sprouted and put out a green sprout. She was very interested in this, and she decided that after the growing pea, she would begin to recover and go out into the sun.

At first, the mother did not believe in such a miracle, but when she saw that the pea had blossomed, she also began to hope for her daughter's recovery. The girl began to get up, her eyes became shiny and happy, she admired the growing pea all the time.

The fate of the rest from one pod turned out like this: three were swallowed by pigeons, the fourth fell into a ditch with water, swelled up and was very proud of it, believing that she had become the main one.

But we all know that there is nothing more important than saving a sick girl.

- respect for courage; - kindness and compassion; - love for people; - contempt for the boastful and heartless.

Five from one pod

There were five peas in the pod; they themselves were green, the pod was also green, well, they thought that the whole world was green; that's how it should have been! The pod grew, and so did the peas; they adapted themselves to the room and sat all in a row. The sun illuminated and warmed the pod, the rain watered it, and it became cleaner and more transparent; the peas were nice and cozy, light during the day and dark at night, as it should be. They grew and grew and more and more thought, sitting in a pod, that it was time for them to do something.

- Age, or what, should we sit here? they said. - How could we not dry out from such a sitting! .. It seems to us that there is something outside our pod! We have such a feeling!

Several weeks passed; the peas turned yellow, the pod also turned yellow.

- The whole world turns yellow! they said, and who would stop them from saying so?

Suddenly they felt a strong jolt; the pod was torn off by a human hand and put into his pocket, among the other pods.

“Well, now we’ll be set free soon!” - said the peas and began to wait.

“And I would like to know which of us will go the furthest!” the smallest said. "But we'll see soon!"

“Come what may,” said the largest.

- Krak! - the pod burst, and all five peas rolled out into the bright sun. They lay on a child's palm; a little boy looked at them and said that they would be just right for him to shoot from an elder pipe. And now one pea was already in the tube, the boy blew, and it flew out.

- I fly, I fly where I want! Catch who can! she screamed, and her trail disappeared.

- And I'll fly straight into the sun; here's a real pod! Just for me! another said. Her trace has also caught a cold.

- And where we come, we will fall asleep there! said the next two. But we're still on to something! “They did roll on the floor before hitting the elder pipe, but they hit it anyway. - We'll go the farthest!

- Come what may! - said the latter, flew up, hit the old wooden roof and rolled into a crack just under the window of the attic closet. There was moss and loose earth in the crack, the moss covered the pea; so she remained there, hidden, but not forgotten by the Lord God.

- Come what may! she said.

And in the closet lived a poor woman. She went to day work: she cleaned stoves, sawed firewood, in a word, took on everything that turned up; she had enough strength, she also had no desire to work, but she still did not get out of need! Her only daughter, a teenager, remained at home. She was so thin, frail; she had been lying in bed for a whole year: she did not live and did not die.

She will go to her sister! mother said. - I had two of them. It was hard for me to feed two; well, the Lord God shared his care with me, took one to himself! I would like to keep the other one, but he, apparently, does not want to separate the sisters! Take this one too!

But the sick girl did not die; patiently, quietly, she lay in bed all day long, while her mother was at work.

It was in the spring, early in the morning, just before my mother left for work. The sun shone through a small window directly on the floor. The sick girl did not take her eyes off the window for a long time.

- What is that green outside the window? So it sways in the wind! Mother went to the window and opened it.

- Look you! - she said. - Yes, this pea has sprouted! And how did she get in here? Well, now you will have your own garden!

Having moved the bed closer to the window so that the girl could admire the green sprout, the mother went to work.

Mom, I think I'll get better! - said the girl in the evening. The sun warmed me up so much today. Pea, see how nice it grows in the sun? I'll get better too, start getting up and go out into the sun.

- God forbid! - said the mother, but did not believe that it would come true. However, she supported the green sprout that cheered up the girl with a small stick so that it would not break from the wind; then she took a thin rope and attached one end to the roof, and tied the other to the upper edge of the window frame. Pea shoots will be able to cling to this rope when they grow up. And so it happened: the shoots grew noticeably and crawled up the rope.

- Look, it will bloom soon! - said the woman one morning, and from that moment she also began to hope and believe that her sick daughter would recover.

She remembered that the girl had recently spoken as if more lively, in the morning she got up on her bed herself and sat for a long time, admiring her garden, where a single pea grew. And how her eyes sparkled! A week later, the patient got out of bed for the first time for an hour. How happy she was to sit in the sun! The window was open, and outside the window a blooming white-pink flower swayed. The girl leaned out the window and gently kissed the delicate petals. This day was a real treat for her.

- The Lord himself planted and nurtured a flower to encourage and please you, dear child, and me too! - said the happy mother and smiled at the flower, like an angel in heaven.

Well, what about other peas? The one that flew where she wanted - catch, they say, whoever can - fell into the gutter, and from there into the pigeon's goiter and lay there, like Jonah in the belly of a whale. Two sloths went no further - they were also swallowed by pigeons, which means that they also brought considerable benefits. And the fourth, which was going to fly into the sun, fell into a ditch and lay for several weeks in musty water until it swelled.

- How nicely I have grown good! - said the pea. “Really, I’ll burst soon, and I don’t think a single pea has been able to achieve more. I am the most wonderful of all five!

Kanava was in complete agreement with her.

And at the window overlooking the roof stood a girl with shining eyes, ruddy and healthy; she folded her hands and thanked God for the pea flower.

- And I still stand for my pea! said the ditch.

There were five peas in the pod; they themselves were green, the pod was also green, well, they thought that the whole world was green; that's how it should have been!

- The whole world turns yellow! they said, and who would have prevented them from saying so?

Suddenly they felt a strong jolt; the pod was torn off by a human hand and put into his pocket, among the other pods.

"Well, now we're about to be released into the wild!" - said the peas and began to wait.

"And I'd like to know which one of us will go the farthest!" said the smallest. But we'll see soon!

“Come what may,” said the biggest one.

— Krak! - the pod burst, and all five peas rolled out into the bright sun. They lay on a child's palm; a little boy looked at them and said that they would be just right for him to shoot from an elder pipe. And now one pea was already in the tube, the boy blew, and it flew out.

The text of the fairy tale Five from one pod

There were five peas in the pod; they themselves were green, the pod was also green, well, they thought that the whole world was green; that's how it should have been! The pod grew, and so did the peas; they adapted themselves to the room and sat all in a row. The sun illuminated and warmed the pod, the rain watered it, and it became cleaner and more transparent; the peas were nice and cozy, light during the day and dark at night, as it should be. They all grew and grew, and more and more they thought, sitting in a pod, something had to be done! - Age, or what, we should sit here? they said. - How could we not become stale from such a sitting! .. But it seems to us that there is something behind our pod! We have such a feeling! Several weeks passed; the peas turned yellow, the pod also turned yellow. - The whole world turns yellow! - they said, and who would prevent them from saying so? Suddenly they felt a strong jolt: the pod was torn off by a human hand and thrust into a pocket, among the other pods. - Well, now we will soon be released into the wild! - said the peas and began to wait. “And I would like to know which of us will go the farthest!” - said the smallest. - But we'll see soon! - Come what may! said the biggest one. - Krak! - the pod burst, and all five peas rolled out into the bright sun. They lay on a child's palm; a little boy looked at them and said that they would be just right for him to shoot from an elder pipe. And now one pea was already in the tube, the boy blew, and it flew out. - I fly, I fly where I want! Catch who can! she screamed, and her trail disappeared. - And I'll fly right into the sun; here's a real pod! Just for me! - said the other. Her trace has also caught a cold. - And where we come, we will fall asleep there! said the next two. But we're still on to something! “They did roll across the floor before hitting the elder pipe, but they hit it anyway. - We'll go the farthest! - Come what may! - said the latter, flew up, hit the old wooden roof and rolled into a crack just under the window of the attic closet. There was moss and loose earth in the crack, the moss covered the pea; so she remained there, hidden, but not forgotten by the Lord God. - Come what may! she said. And in the closet lived a poor woman. She went to day work: she cleaned stoves, sawed firewood, performed all kinds of hard work in a word; she had enough strength, she also had no desire to work, but she still did not get out of need! Her only daughter, a teenager, remained at home with her. She was so thin, frail; she had been lying in bed for a whole year: she did not live and did not die. “She will go to her sister,” said the mother. - I had two of them. It was hard for me to feed two; well, the Lord God shared his care with me, took one to himself! I would like to keep the other one, but he, apparently, does not want to separate the sisters! But the sick girl did not die; patiently, quietly, she lay in bed all day long, while her mother was at work. It was in the spring, early in the morning, just before my mother left for work. The sun shone through a small window directly on the floor, and the sick girl looked out the window. - What is that green outside the window? So it sways in the wind! Mother went to the window and opened it. - Look you! - she said. - Yes, this pea has sprouted! And how did she get into the gap here? Well, now you will have your own garden! Moving the crib closer to the window so that the girl could admire the green sprout, the mother went to work. - Mom, I think I'll get better! - said the girl in the evening. The sun warmed me up so much today. Pea, do you see how nice it grows in the sun? I'll get better too, start getting up and go out into the sun. - God forbid! - said the mother, but did not believe that it would come true. However, she supported the green sprout, which had cheered up the girl, with a small stick so that it would not break from the wind; then she took a thin rope and attached one end to the roof, and tied the other to the upper edge of the window frame. Pea shoots could cling to this rope when they grow up. And so it happened: the shoots grew noticeably and crawled up the rope. - Look, it will bloom soon! - said the woman one morning, and from that moment she also began to hope and believe that her sick girl would recover. She remembered that the girl had recently spoken as if more lively, in the morning she got up in bed herself and sat for a long time, admiring her garden, where a single pea grew, and how her eyes shone! A week later, the patient got out of bed for the first time for an hour. How happy she was to sit in the sun! The window was open, and outside the window a blooming white-pink flower swayed. The girl leaned out the window and gently kissed the delicate petals. This day was a real treat for her. - The Lord himself planted and nurtured a flower to encourage and please you, dear child, and me too! - said the happy mother and smiled at the flower like an angel in heaven. Well, what about other peas? The one that flew where she wanted - catch, they say, whoever can - fell into the gutter, and from there into the pigeon's goiter and lay there, like Jonah in the belly of a whale. Two sloths went no further - they were also swallowed by pigeons, which means that they also brought considerable benefits. And the fourth, which was going to fly into the sun, fell into a ditch and lay for several weeks in musty water until it swelled. - How nicely I have grown good! - said the pea. “Really, I’ll burst soon, and I don’t think a single pea has been able to achieve more. I am the most wonderful of all five! Kanava was in complete agreement with her. And at the window overlooking the roof stood a girl with shining eyes, ruddy and healthy; she folded her hands and thanked God for the pea flower. - And I still stand for my pea! said the ditch.
