Why is the fox considered a cunning animal?

The fox as a forest animal has always been of great interest to humans. She is not endowed with special strength, and therefore she has to be dexterous and cunning in order to get food and save her life. The very image that we see when we read works about a fox - cunning, dodgy, curious - was formed as a result of people's observations of the behavior of an animal in nature:

• Many hunters told how the fox pretended to be dead in order to weaken the vigilance of a person and sneak away. Often, when fired from a gun, the fox falls to the ground, as if wounded, and then, being in a bag along with other prey, chooses a convenient moment and runs away.
• These animals have good eyesight and a keen sense of smell, they know how to get away from the chase, avoid poorly hidden traps.
• In the people, the fox is considered cunning for how skillfully she circumvents obstacles and drags chickens out of the chicken coop under cover of night. More than one fairy tale about the fox tells about this.
• The red-haired nosy animal often fails natural curiosity. A fox can fall into a trap if it becomes interested in an unfamiliar object or is led by a “delicious” smell.

It is not surprising that such an interesting animal has become the hero of many works and even songs. Short tales about a fox and a hare, in which the cheat first achieves everything by cunning and deceit, and then pays for her tricks, are of an educational nature. Children get acquainted with the peculiarities of the characters of different characters and understand that you don’t need to be cunning, dodgy yourself and it’s better not to communicate with such people.

How many nicknames does the fox have?

Perhaps not a single fairy-tale hero has as many nicknames as a fox. In fairy tales, she appears as a beauty in a red fur coat with a fluffy tail. And, despite the fact that almost always the fox acts as a negative character, she is affectionately called: gossip, fox-sister. Such nicknames show a "family" connection with other heroes, for example, a wolf or a bear. Another reason why the fox was given such a nickname is the image of the kuma that has developed among the people: cunning, envious, able to achieve her goal through flattery and deceit.

Often in Russian fairy tales about a wolf and a fox, the main character is called by her first name and patronymic, for example, Elizaveta Ivanovna or Elizaveta Patrikeevna. Patrikeevna Lisitsa received her patronymic in honor of the governor of Novgorod, Prince Patrikey, who was “famous” among the people for his deeds. The prince was a cunning steward and often profited at the expense of ordinary people. The fox may also be called the short name Lisafya, which is derived from the name Elizabeth. And in modern author's and foreign fairy tales, the fox is often called Alice.

What fairy tales about the fox are presented on the site?

The fox in Russian folk tales is most often a negative character, nevertheless it is very interesting to listen to fairy tales about the fox. Cunning, resourcefulness, flattery, caution - these are the traits her people endow. In fairy tales, the fox is characterized by many human vices: selfishness, greed, revenge, prudence, theft, the ability to shift the blame onto another. Also, in short tales about a fox, another character is opposed to the main character: for example, the wolf acts as a kind of simpleton who falls for all the tricks of the gossip and, as a result, finds himself in an unenviable position. As for the victim that the fox attacks, most often it is a small hare, a kind cockerel and forest birds.

On our site you will find a large collection of fairy tales about the fox: texts and audio recordings, as well as pictures and cartoons that you can watch online and download to your computer. One of the most famous and readable fairy tales for preschoolers and elementary school students is “Sister Chanterelle and the Wolf”. The triumph of the fox is depicted here: she twice deceived the envious, gullible and stupid godfather. At first she advised him to fish in the hole on his wolf's tail, and then she forced the beaten one to carry the unbeaten one.

In the work "The Fox and the Crane", the gossip tries to appear friendly and hospitable, but in fact she is indifferent to other people's needs and thinks about her own benefit. In the fairy tale “The Confessor Fox”, the fox-sister is insidious, vindictive, greedy and lazy. The heroine of the work "Cat Kotofey Ivanovich and the Fox" deceives other characters in order to achieve her goal, and with those who do not wish her harm, she is kind and affectionate. But there are many works in which the fox herself gets, she falls into a trap because of other animals or through her own stupidity: "Wild duck, fox and raven", "Animals in the pit", "Cat, rooster and fox", "Fox and jug" etc.

Grandfather and grandmother lived.
The grandfather says to the woman: “You, the woman, bake pies, and I will go for the fish.” Caught fish and carries home a whole cart.
Here he goes and sees: the fox curled up and lies on the road. Grandfather got down from the cart, went up to the fox, but she didn’t stir, she lay there as if dead. “Here will be a gift for his wife,” said the grandfather, took the fox and put it on the cart, and he went ahead.
And the little fox seized the time and began to throw out of the cart all the fish and the fish, all the fish and the fish. She threw out all the fish - and she left.
- Well, old woman, - says the grandfather, - what kind of collar did I bring you for a fur coat!
- Where?
- There, on the cart, - and the fish, and the collar.
A woman came up to the cart: no collar, no fish, and began to scold her husband: “Oh, you! .. So-and-so! You still decided to deceive! Then the grandfather realized that the fox was not dead; grieved, grieved, but there was nothing to do.

And the fox collected all the fish scattered along the road, sat down and eats for herself. A wolf walks towards her:
- Hello, gossip!
- Hello, kumanek!
- Give me the fish!
- Catch yourself, and eat.
- I can't.
- Eka, because I caught it; you, kumanek, go to the river, dip your tail into the hole, sit and say: catch, fish, big and small, catch, fish, big and small. Then pull the tail out of the hole - you will see how many fish are attached to the tail.
The wolf went to the river, lowered his tail into the hole and sits. And the fox fish ate and also ran to the river.
The wolf sits and sings:
- Catch, fish, big and small! Catch, fish, big and small!
And the fox runs around the wolf and says:
- Clear, clear in the sky! Freeze, freeze, wolf tail!
The wolf will say:
- Catch, fish, big and small.
And the fox:
- Freeze, freeze, wolf tail!
- What are you talking about, fox? - asks the wolf.
- It's me, the top, I'm helping you. I say: catch, fish, and even more!

Tired of the wolf sitting. He wants to pull his tail out of the hole, and the fox says:
- Wait, top, still caught a little!
And again they began to sentence each to his own. And the frost is getting stronger and stronger. Wolf tail and froze.
Lisa screams:
- Well, pull now!
The wolf pulled, but it was not there.
The wolf looked around, wanted to call the fox for help, but her trace had already caught a cold - she ran away.

“That's how many fish rolled! the wolf thinks. “And you won’t pull it out!” He spent the whole night fussing, pulling out his tail.
Morning has come. The women went to the hole for water, saw a wolf and shouted:
- Wolf, wolf! Beat him! Beat him!
They ran up and began to beat: some with a yoke, some with a bucket, some with anything. The wolf jumped, jumped, tore off his tail and started running without looking back. “It’s good,” he thinks, “I’ll pay you back, gossip!”
And the fox, meanwhile, was hungry and wanted to try if something else could be pulled off. She climbed into one of the huts, where the women baked pancakes, but hit her head in a tub of dough, got smeared and ran.
And the wolf met her: “Is that how you teach? I've been thrashed all over! The tail has been torn off!"
- Eh, kumanek, - says the fox-sister, - at least your blood came out, but my brain, I was nailed more painfully than yours; I'm running hard.
- And that's true, - says the wolf, - where are you, gossip, to go; sit on me, I'll take you.
The fox sat on his back, and he carried her. Here the fox-sister sits, and slowly says: “The beaten unbeaten is lucky, the beaten unbeaten is lucky.”
- What are you, gossip, talking about?
- I, kumanek, say: the beaten one is lucky.
- Yes, gossip, yes!
The wolf drove the fox to its hole, she jumped off, hid in the hole, and she herself laughs and laughs at the wolf.

Fox served as the subject of an extensive epic in Western Europe: In France, this epic is called Roman de Renart, and in Germany - Reinhart Fuchs.

Both in the Western European animal epic and in our fairy tales, the fox is equally represented as a crafty, treacherous, cunning beast, with its cunning taking precedence over other animals stronger than it - over the wolf and the bear.

In our fairy tales, the fox has a number of nicknames: Kuma-fox, fox-sister, fox-Patrikeevna, Lizaveta Ivanovna, etc.

The heroine of many Russian fairy tales received a patronymic from the name Patrikey, which has ancient roots: in Greek patricos - “father”, in Latin patricius - “noble”. So it was given to people of noble birth.

Kolobok

Animals can be considered as trials for the born world (including man, who is also the universe, the microcosm). On the one hand, meeting with the Hare is a test of speed, agility, resourcefulness; with the Wolf - courage and determination; with the Bear - opposition to strength: with the Fox - deceit, cunning and boasting. The moral is clear: going through copper pipes is the hardest thing to do, and it's the biggest threat to the world being tested, big or small.

Finally, if you look at the plot from the point of view of the psychology of creativity, then Kolobok's song sung to the Hare is a creative move, the first experience of the hero's action, which turns out to be successful. Using it for the second time - when meeting with the Wolf - consolidation of experience, the third time - fixing the stereotype. So the meeting with the Fox can also be considered as an abuse of stereotypical behavior.

And they began to live with the bunny in a bast hut.

Once upon a time there lived a fox and a hare. The fox had an icy hut, the hare had a bast.

The red spring has come - the fox's hut has melted, and the hare's is in the old way.

So the fox asked him to spend the night, and kicked him out of the hut. There is an expensive bunny, crying. A dog meets him:

— Tyaf, tyaf, tyaf! What, bunny, are you crying?

How can I not cry? I had a bast hut, and the fox had an icy one. She asked me to spend the night, and she kicked me out.

Don't cry, bunny! I will help your grief.

They approached the hut. The dog wandered:

— Tyaf, tyaf, tyaf! Come on, fox, get out!

And the fox to them from the oven:

The dog got scared and ran away.

The bunny is walking the road again, crying. A bear meets him:

“What are you crying about, bunny?”

Don't cry, I'll help your grief.

- No, you can't. The dog drove - did not drive out, and you can not drive out.

- No, I'll kick you out!

They approached the hut. The bear screams:

- Come on, fox, get out!

And the fox to them from the oven:

- As soon as I jump out, as soon as I jump out, shreds will go along the back streets!

The bear got scared and ran away.

The bunny is coming again. A bull meets him:

- What, bunny, are you crying?

How can I not cry? I had a bast hut, and the fox had an icy one. She asked to spend the night, and she kicked me out.

- No, bull, you will not help. The dog drove - didn’t drive out, the bear drove - didn’t drive out, and you won’t drive out.

- No, I'll kick you out!

They approached the hut. The bull roared:

- Come on, fox, get out!

And the fox to them from the oven:

- As soon as I jump out, as soon as I jump out, shreds will go along the back streets!

The bull got scared and ran away.

The bunny is walking again dear, crying more than ever. A rooster with a scythe meets him:

- Ku-ka-river! What are you crying about, bunny?

How can I not cry? I had a bast hut, and the fox had an icy one. She asked to spend the night, and she kicked me out.

- Come on, I'll help your grief.

- No, rooster, you will not help. The dog drove - didn’t drive out, the bear drove - didn’t drive out, the bull drove - didn’t drive out, and you won’t drive out.

- No, I'll kick you out!

They approached the hut. The rooster stamped its paws, beat its wings:

— Ku-ka-re-ku! I walk on my heels

I carry a scythe on my shoulders,

I want to kill the fox

Get down, fox, from the stove,

Come on, fox, get out!

The fox heard, got scared and said:

- I wear...

Rooster again:

— Ku-ka-re-ku! I walk on my heels

I carry a scythe on my shoulders,

I want to kill the fox

Get down, fox, from the stove,

Come on, fox, get out!

Lisa says again:

- I'm getting dressed...

Rooster for the third time:

— Ku-ka-re-ku! I walk on my heels

I carry a scythe on my shoulders,

I want to kill the fox

Get down, fox, from the stove,

Come on, fox, get out!

The fox ran out without memory, the rooster killed her with a scythe.

And they began to live with the bunny in a bast hut.
