Image and biography Kotofey Ivanovich
The hero of the fairy tale lives with the owner, often getting into disfavor because of his own tricks. He is voracious, Skodia and in every way disrupts peace: "I could not stand the man and decided to get rid of the animal. Put it in the bag and took it into the forest. "And there on the thrown cat stumbled upon Lisa. She never saw such a beast, so asked who he was and from. The unlucky guest was not confused and introduced himself as a governor from Siberian forests.
But the red fox will not spend - even though the creature brave everything, she realized that there was no danger. The cunning with a fluffy tail decided to take advantage of the situation for his own well-being.
The tender voice of Elizabeth Patriceevna offered Kotofoy to marry her and live together. The idea came to taste the hero, because he did not know how to behave and how to survive in a hostile district. I agreed to the wedding and moved to Izbo to my wife.
In the meantime, she launched a rumor that she lives a terrible beast. So cruel and ferocious that even look at him dangerous. Wolf Levon Ivanovich and Bear Mikhailo Ivanovich Throw the new resident. Cleaning bulls and rams and went to visit the fox.
Put the tribute near the huts, and they themselves hid. Kotofee Ivanovich saw food and rushed to her, breaking meat with claws and teeth. Bear and wolf were surrepended in bewilderment, because quite a cat did not resemble a terrible villain or an increase or appearance.
Suddenly, the Kotofey heard the rustle of the leaves - this Levon Ivanovich tried to look out of the ambush. The new forest inhabitant thought that was a mouse, and rushed right there, clutching into the nose wolf. Heated from pain a gray predator and rushed outdoor. And the "Grozny Beast" and frightened himself, so so that the habit took off to the nearest tree.
By chance, a bear was sitting at the top. Mikhailo Ivanovich thought that this kotofee would eat him, and jumped down to avoid a terrible fate. And Elizabeth Patriceevna, laughing in his voice, shouted the animals who carried the feet to felt faster, and then her husband would catch up and squinzed.
Steel spouses live further in honor and respect. And the forest inhabitants tried to bypass the sip, so as not to get anger of a terrible predator.
Analysis of the fairy tale perfectly demonstrates the essence of a well-known proverb "Fear of eyes is great." The tricky fox convinced the neighbors that her husband was dangerous and strong. Therefore, even the bear was afraid of the type of the meowing animal, when he went to the gift. The owner of the forest was heard "little", and he was surprised how much this terrible beast is.
Such a scenario can be traced in the poem of the root of Chukovsky "cockroach", in which the hippos and elephants began to bow before the buckash. But Chukovsky had a hero, a sparrow, who did not listen to the rest, and the eyes confessed. In the fairy tale "Fox and Cat" this did not happen, so the Kotofey adapted to live in wilders, without understanding how it happened.
Hence the main idea of the work: be stronger, above, more beautiful or smarter, to enjoy the respect of others, do not need. A person is able to create a necessary opinion about himself, not possessing certain qualities.
As for Kotofey Ivanovich, he called himself a warlord, and his wife contributed to this legend to gain believable features.
Like any other Russian folk tale, this story includes and educational moments. There can be many such characters in life. Do not demonstrate sympathy based on a person's opinion about a person.
It is much more important to live by your own mind and judge impartially about others. And if you believe rumors or high speeches, there is a weighty chance to enjoy such a cowardly bear, which is scared of a cat from himself.
