Fable of the Raven and the Fox read the text by Ivan Krylov

How many times have they told the world,


Somewhere God sent a piece of cheese to a crow;
Raven perched on the spruce tree,
I was just about ready to have breakfast,
Yes, I thought about it, but I held the cheese in my mouth.
To that misfortune, the Fox ran quickly;
Suddenly the cheese spirit stopped the Fox:
The fox sees the cheese -
The fox was captivated by the cheese,
The cheat approaches the tree on tiptoe;
He twirls his tail and doesn’t take his eyes off Crow.
And he says so sweetly, barely breathing:
"My dear, how beautiful!
What a neck, what eyes!
Telling fairy tales, really!
What feathers! what a sock!
And, truly, there must be an angelic voice!
Sing, little light, don’t be ashamed!
What if, sister,
With such beauty, you are a master at singing,
After all, you would be our king bird!”
Veshunin's head was spinning with praise,
The breath stole from my throat with joy, -
And Lisitsyn’s friendly words
The crow croaked at the top of its lungs:
The cheese fell out - such was the trick with it.

Moral of the fable The Crow and the Fox

How many times have they told the world,
That flattery is vile and harmful; but everything is not for the future,
And a flatterer will always find a corner in the heart.

Moral in your own words, the main idea and meaning of the fable The Crow and the Fox

No matter how sweet flattery may be, which can find a place in a secluded corner of the heart, you should not give in to it and believe it. This can turn into disaster for a person, which is what happened to Vorona.

Analysis of the fable The Crow and the Fox

The famous Russian fabulist Ivan Andreevich Krylov’s most famous fable is the “Crow and the Fox”. Using a classic plot, known since the times of classical ancient authors, for example, Aesop and used by his predecessors of the era of classicism - Sumarokov and Trediakovsky, Krylov revived this plot, reshaping it in his own way to suit his era.

The plot of the fable is built around two main characters: the Crow and the Fox. The latter wants to get the cheese that Crow already wants to eat, but understands that she cannot take it away from the Crow by force. A bird perched high on a spruce tree. Then she resorts to a trick, deciding to lure the cheese away from Vorona, and begins to say “so sweetly, barely breathing.” And the Crow, which appears to be not at all a stupid bird both in the epic epic and in Russian literature, succumbs to the impudent flattery of the Fox.

The bottom line is that this fable is not unknown - “the prophet’s head turned,” she “sang” and the cheese fell into the Fox’s paws. And although the moral of this fable is crystal clear, like snow, it still needs clarification.

Krylov condemns not only the Fox, not only the one who flatters and fawns (i.e., panders), but also the one (Crow) who succumbs to this flattery. In the society of the early 19th century in which the author lived, flattery hovered in all circles of high society and was an integral part of people's lives. And then in his famous play “Woe from Wit” Griboyedov will say through the lips of Chatsky: “I would be glad to serve - it’s sickening to serve.”

It is also interesting that the image of a crow is associated with the verb “caw”, which in its figurative meaning means “to invite failure, misfortune.” Krylov does not comment on the ending of the fable, thereby cementing the tragic ending of the fable and the tragic fate of the man who fell into the trap of the flatterer.

Essay on the topic Krylov's Fable - The Crow and the Fox (5th grade)

More than once have we met people who flatter and lie for their own good. Forgetting about the feelings of another person, while mocking not only him, but also himself without understanding this. But everything turns into a boomerang. Let us remember one wonderful fable by Krylov. A Crow and a fox. The crow has a tasty, filling piece of cheese in its beak, which it found for its breakfast. But who would have thought that here it is not she who is the main character, but the fox.

The crow is just the victim of a stupid prank. In the last lines, the fox tells her what a beautiful voice she has, thus praising her beauty. But as soon as the crow starts singing, the cheese falls into the fox’s paws and she is left without a delicious breakfast.

A wonderful fable that sets an example for many people. The moral of the story is this: before you trust anyone, you should check to see if this person is deceiving you. Maybe he shouldn't be trusted. The first lines of the fable talk about this in detail. Ivan Andreevich Krylov wrote quite a few instructive fables, in my opinion. But this one was the most memorable.

Catchphrases are also used in the fable. And the moral of this fable states that flattery is bad, but the fox turns out to be the winner and leaves with delicious cheese.

The main characters of the fable (characters) 3rd grade

Fox

If we think about the behavior of the heroes of the fable “The Crow and the Fox,” we see a cunning and quick-witted fox who, with her intelligence, deceived the naive and gullible crow. It shows a flattering and intelligent fox who lured away the cheese without any difficulty.

The crow, on the other hand, does not shine with intelligence and, knowing that it does not have a ringing voice, still believed in the praise and cawed at the top of its voice, losing its food in the process. When drawing conclusions from this situation, you should always trust your eyes, seeing who exactly is in front of you, and not your naive ears.

The moral of the story is “flattery is bad,” but the text completely contradicts this and does not condemn such behavior at all.

Analysis of Krylov's fable The Crow and the Fox, version 2

The work “The Crow and the Fox” was written in 1807 by Ivan Krylov, it belongs to the genre of fables, and the fable was first published in a magazine in 1808.

A fable involves a short story, often written in verse; the main characters are often animals, and through their images and situations the authors try to convey meaning and moral lessons.
The plot is distinguished by its simplicity and accessibility, starring a crow and a fox. The crow got some cheese somewhere and sat down on a spruce branch, just wanted to have breakfast, but got distracted and thought about it. Then a fox appears and, hearing the smell of cheese, immediately approaches the crow. The fox decided to take possession of the cheese in any way, so she began to speak flatteringly towards the crow, she praised her and asked her to sing. The crow, having heard enough of such speeches, opened its beak and dropped the cheese. The fox picked up the prey and ran away.

The essence of many fables is to teach the reader some lesson, moral teaching, by showing life situations. The main theme of the fable of the Raven and the Fox is flattery, of course, anyone is pleased to hear good words addressed to themselves, but this does not mean that you need to completely succumb to it and believe, because not always the one from whom you hear such words will wish you the best and it is unknown how this flattery will turn out for you.

This fable is one of Krylov’s most famous; the author took as a basis a simple plot that has been known since ancient times.

In the work we see two main characters, the Crow and the Fox. The fox's goal is to get the coveted piece of cheese, and for this she needs to figure out how to do it. And she decided to appease the crow with beautiful words, which in turn listened enough and dropped the cheese.

If you think about the meaning of the fable, you can understand that the author not only shows the fox from a negative side, but also the crow. After all, the Fox is bad because she flatters for her own benefit, and the Crow easily succumbs to this.

Using the example of two animals, the fable teaches to treat flatterers with caution, because in essence people are capable of anything to achieve their goals, as well as take care of themselves, that is, remain as you are, do not turn up your nose and do not consider yourself better than others.

When composing the characteristics of the main characters, we can highlight the main qualities inherent in them. Fox - in fact, from many fairy tales we know that these animals have a very cunning character, they are able to quickly come up with a plan and find a way out of the situation; in the fable, the fox appears to be deceitful and flattering. The crow is the opposite in character, she is distinguished by her stupidity, gullibility, she does not try to understand the words that are spoken to her and, with her ears open, she listens to praise; because of her stupidity, she lost her breakfast, dropping it to the fox.

In conclusion, I would like to note the fact that it is not for nothing that fables describe life situations through images of animals, because if you think about it, there will always be people in a person’s life like this fox. Such people use every possible means to get what they want. Therefore, the main thing in such a situation is not to let flattery envelop your mind, you should trust people with caution and not be led by beautiful words. On the contrary, in such situations one should be unapproachable and indifferent.

Analysis and description of the heroes of the fable The Crow and the Fox Krylova 3rd grade

The Crow and the Fox are the main and only active characters in one of Krylov's most famous fables. The expression “crow and cheese” has long become a catchphrase, meaning a profit lost due to one’s own stupidity. The Crow is an allegorical prototype of a greedy and at the same time extremely susceptible to flattery, narrow-minded person, whose world is extremely self-centered. The crow is by no means naive and gullible, it’s just that her desire to show herself in all her glory overpowers her logic and common sense.

The author, unfortunately, does not directly indicate where the Crow got its food, but one gets the feeling that it was also not in the most honest way. Using the example of a narcissistic character, the fabulist advises the reader that sometimes you should not try to declare yourself at every opportunity, confirming the old proverb that silence is golden. That is why, having any property, acquaintances or opportunities, sometimes you should not declare them publicly, otherwise there will always be someone dexterous and agile enough to profit from them.

The fox in Krylov's fable turned out to be just such a cunning and resourceful character. Since ancient times, considered the owner of a subtle mind, the Fox did not even try to forcibly take away the piece of cheese she liked. Like the behavior of many cunning people among people, the red-haired cheat with gentle speeches forced the not too perspicacious Crow to open her beak wide and drop a piece of cheese. This fact once again proves that not everything in life should be achieved with physical strength; sometimes the right word spoken at the right time and knowledge of the enemy’s shortcomings can do much more than fists.

The fabulist clearly points out that not everyone who speaks pleasant, sweet speeches can be considered a sincere friend; it is quite possible that this is another “fox” just waiting for what she wants to take away to fall at her feet.

Picture of Krylov's fable The Crow and the Fox

Fable by Ivan Andreevich Krylov “The Crow and the Fox” was created no later than the end of 1807, and was published for the first time in the Dramatic Bulletin magazine in 1908. The plot of this fable has been known since ancient times and has traveled across countries and centuries to this day. We meet it in Aesop* (Ancient Greece), Phaedrus (Ancient Rome), Lafontaine (France, XVII century), Lessing* (Germany, XVIII century), Russian poets A.P. Sumarokov (XVIII century), V.K. Trediakovsky (XVIII century)

A CROW AND A FOX

How many times have they told the world,
That flattery is vile and harmful; but everything is not for the future,
And a flatterer will always find a corner in the heart.

Somewhere God sent a piece of cheese to a crow;
Raven perched on the spruce tree,
I was just about ready to have breakfast,
Yes, I thought about it, but I held the cheese in my mouth.
To that misfortune, the Fox ran quickly;
Suddenly the cheese spirit stopped the Fox:
The fox sees the cheese, the fox is captivated by the cheese.
The cheat approaches the tree on tiptoe;
He twirls his tail and doesn’t take his eyes off Crow.
And he says so sweetly, barely breathing:
“My dear, how beautiful!
What a neck, what eyes!
Telling fairy tales, really!
What feathers! what a sock!
And, truly, there must be an angelic voice!
Sing, little light, don’t be ashamed! What if, sister,
With such beauty, you are a master at singing, -
After all, you would be our king bird!”
Veshunin's head was spinning with praise,
The breath stole from my throat with joy, -
And Lisitsyn’s friendly words
The crow croaked at the top of its lungs:
The cheese fell out - such was the trick with it.

Our modern Russian language has changed somewhat since the time the fable was written, and we rarely use some words and expressions. To better understand the meaning of some words from the fable, look up their meaning:

"God Sent"- this means it came from nowhere.
Perched- having climbed up.
Spirit- here means smell.
Captivated- attracted attention, delighted.
Cheat- a liar.
King Bird- this is the most important, the most important bird in the forest, which has beautiful plumage and a wonderful voice, in a word, it surpasses everyone in everything.
Pythoness- this comes from the word “to know”, to know. A soothsayer is a sorceress who knows everything in advance. It is believed that crows can predict fate, which is why in the fable the Crow is called a prophetess.
Goiter- the throat of a bird.

A CROW AND A FOX

Check out the prototypes of Krylov's fable:

Aesop (VI-V centuries BC)
Raven and Fox

The raven took away a piece of meat and sat down on a tree. The fox saw it and wanted to get this meat. She stood in front of the Raven and began to praise him: he was great and handsome, and could become a king over the birds better than others, and he would, of course, if he also had a voice. The Raven wanted to show her that he had a voice; He released the meat and croaked in a loud voice. And the fox ran up, grabbed the meat and said: “Eh, raven, if you also had a mind in your head, you wouldn’t need anything else to reign.”
The fable is appropriate against an unreasonable person.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781)
A Crow and a fox

The crow was carrying in its claws a piece of poisoned meat that an angry gardener had planted for his neighbor's cats.
And as soon as she sat down on an old oak tree to eat her prey, a fox crept up and exclaimed, turning to her:
- Glory to you, O bird of Jupiter!
-Who do you take me for? - asked the crow.
-Who do I take you for? - the fox objected. “Aren’t you that noble eagle that every day descends from the hand of Zeus onto this oak tree and brings me, poor thing, food?” Why are you pretending? Or do I not see in your victorious claws the alms I begged for, which your master still sends me with you?
The crow was surprised and sincerely delighted that it was mistaken for an eagle.
“There is no need to bring the fox out of this delusion,” she thought.
And, filled with stupid generosity, she threw her prey to the fox and proudly flew away.
The fox, laughing, picked up the meat and ate it with gloating. But soon her joy turned into a painful feeling; the poison began to take effect, and she died.
Let you, damned hypocrites, get nothing but poison as a reward for your praises.

The fable “The Crow and the Fox” by Krylov will tell children how the flattering Fox tricked the Crow and took away her delicious cheese.

Moral of the fable: The Crow and the Fox:

The moral of the story is that it is foolish to value flattery from assholes. The fox showed cunning, seducing the Crow with her sweet speeches. But Vorona also showed her narrow-minded character, as she fell for the red-haired lady’s compliments. You should not listen to the tempting speeches of those people who actually achieve their goals with the help of flattery. Of course, often a person has a need for someone to amuse his “Ego”. But we must not forget about the motives that underlie the actions of the flatterer, and remember the stupid Crow, who lost her cheese thanks to the fox's intelligence.

This fable can without a doubt be called the most famous by Krylov, everyone, young and old, will agree with this. The entire text of the work has long been disassembled into quotes, the characters certainly evoke sympathy, and the number of allusions in art, cinema and animation is difficult to count. Yes, yes, we are talking about a fable " A Crow and a fox».

Ivan Andreevich Krylov wrote this ironic work in 1807, and a year later published it in the Dramatic Messenger magazine. Since then, the fable is doomed to success and popularity among the Russian-speaking public.

The idea of ​​the fable is not original - the plot has come a long way, passing from “hand to hand” of various outstanding writers. Aesop was the first to write a fable with a similar plot, then it was altered by the French fabulist La Fontaine, and then by Krylov in the 19th century. Although other Russian poets translated La Fontaine’s fable before Krylov - for example, Sumorokov and Trediakovsky. But Krylov’s merit is that he did not engage in literary translation, but based on a well-known situation, he created a completely new fable with a national Russian flavor.

The plot of the fable

It is probably impossible to find a person who could not retell the plot of this simple story. The plot centers on the agile but stupid Crow and the charming, cunning Fox. One day Crow was able to get cheese somewhere - “God sent,” the author points out to us the vague circumstances of the bird’s acquisition of the delicacy.

Wanting to feast in “splendid isolation,” the bird climbed to the top of the spruce tree, but unfortunately for her, the Fox noticed her. Or rather, not her, but delicious cheese. How to get a treat? Don't shake the tree?! Cunning, or rather flattery, came to the aid of our heroine. She began to admire the beauty of the bird, making compliments, while lamenting that she could not listen to the voice of such a wondrous creature. Having heard such speeches and wanting to demonstrate her voice, the Crow “croaked at the top of her crow’s throat.” The cheese fell straight into the Fox’s paws and “he was such a cheat.”

Instructive content of the fable

The author places a column of text with moralizing content at the beginning of the work, turning it into a kind of instructive epigraph.

Krylov very eloquently and graphically tells his readers about the destructive power of flattery. Sometimes, unable to evaluate himself sensibly, a person grabs onto the flattering words of others, thereby finding himself in a stupid situation. And, unfortunately, there are always a lot of flatterers around. Especially if the person has power or can be useful in some way. So the cunning entourage begins to “sing” the praises of the victim, pursuing only personal gain.

At the same time, the fabulist claims that most people know that they need to be on guard with such flattering “singers,” but it is often impossible to resist. “Vile, harmful flattery” will always find a “corner in a person’s heart,” especially if he is not distinguished by obvious talents.

Role in art and references in culture

In addition to the fact that the fable was literally all disassembled into quotes, thereby decorating Russian speech with stable expressions, the work has more than once found its implementation in the form of hints, allusions or direct quotes in cinema, fine arts and especially animation. “Plasticine Crow”, “Last Year’s Snow Was Falling” and “Belka and Strelka” immediately come to mind, where the crow was replaced by the rat Venya, speaking in the voice of Evgeny Mironov. This is not to mention cartoons that convey the text verbatim.

Bright, understandable language, cute characters, an excellent sense of humor and deep meaning make the fable “The Crow and the Fox” the most read and beloved among adults and, of course, children who become acquainted with the work in elementary school.

How many times have they told the world,
That flattery is vile and harmful; but everything is not for the future,
And a flatterer will always find a corner in the heart.

Somewhere God sent a piece of cheese to a crow;
Raven perched on the spruce tree,
I was just about ready to have breakfast,
Yes, I became thoughtful, but I held the cheese in my mouth.
To that misfortune, the Fox ran quickly;
Suddenly the cheese spirit stopped the Fox:
The fox sees the cheese, the fox is captivated by the cheese.
The cheat approaches the tree on tiptoe;
He twirls his tail and doesn’t take his eyes off Crow.
And he says so sweetly, barely breathing:
“My dear, how beautiful!
What a neck, what eyes!
Telling fairy tales, really!
What feathers! what a sock!
And, truly, there must be an angelic voice!
Sing, little light, don’t be ashamed! What if, sister,
With such beauty, you are a master at singing, -
After all, you would be our king bird!”
Veshunin's head was spinning with praise,
The breath stole from my throat with joy, -
And Lisitsyn’s friendly words
The crow croaked at the top of its lungs:
The cheese fell out - such was the trick with it.

Analysis/moral of the fable “The Crow and the Fox” by Krylov

Ivan Andreevich Krylov is a writer who updated the fable genre and transferred it to Russian soil.

The fable was written in 1807. Its author was 38 years old at that time; he had already retired from his position as secretary to the governor general. At that time he was more of a playwright than a fabulist. The genre is a social fable, an allegory on the theme of morality; the meter is free iambic with inclusive (in the initial lines), adjacent, cross (in the final) rhyme. Refers to fables with a traditional, borrowed plot. The moral is placed at the beginning of the work, it is a kind of epigraph: flattery is vile. However, vanity is so ineradicable that “a flatterer will find a corner” in the heart of almost every person. The plot outline is simple. The main characters are a bird and an animal (the species becomes the name and is written with a capital letter). This allegory refers to people. Each of the heroes is also a bearer of characteristic features given to him by the popular consciousness. Let's say the fox is a symbol of cunning. Hence the idea of ​​the raven as a “prophet” (fortune teller, messenger). “They told the world”: the author emphasizes the well-known nature of this statement and speaks not only on his own behalf. “God sent”: the writer emphasizes the extraordinary luck of the bird, the rarity of such a gift. In general, in Rus' cottage cheese was called cheese. Getting a “piece” (it’s immediately clear that it’s small) of hard cheese is not an easy task. The lucky girl carries him into the forest. “Perched”: the bird was not a frail one, and its busy beak prevented it from immediately sitting down properly. “Have breakfast”: it turns out it was early in the morning. “Thinking”: about the vicissitudes of life. “The fox is close”: an adverb with a diminutive suffix, the insinuation of which, as it were, characterizes the new character in advance, before he said or did anything. “Cheese spirit”: perhaps the cheese was blue, for example, French. However, foxes already have an excellent sense of smell. “Cheat”: metonymy. "On tiptoe": hyperbole. “Turns”: a typical example of the now outdated emphasis in words. A dialogue begins. A series of sweet appeals to the Crow: darling, sister, little light. “Right”: a particle of assurance. A series of exclamations with an expressive tone, endearing suffixes and interjections: what a neck! What feathers! “Angel's voice”: an epithet that has surpassed all measure in relation to the caw of a crow. “The King Bird”: a folklore phrase. Intoxicated by praise, the Crow, with its breath stale in its crop, loses its vigilance. “Friendly words”: truncated form of adjectives. Having decided that it is time to announce the surrounding area with a cawing, the Crow takes a high note. "The cheese fell out." The incident ends with the “cheat” running away. The vocabulary is lively and colloquial. Verbs add dynamism to the plot.

“The Crow and the Fox” by I. Krylov was first published in the “Dramatic Bulletin”.
