Tales about vegetables materials (preparatory group)

What does a fairy tale teach?

A fairy tale is not just entertainment for a child. She is able to teach, educate, solve many problems, and also calm. Thanks to a fairy tale, you can explain to your baby or toddler many things that are difficult to understand with a normal explanation. There are, for example, children's fairy tales about vegetables and fruits that will help you find out the names of certain products, as well as recognize their beneficial properties.

How Ilyusha fed his tummy (Tatyana Kholkina)

Once upon a time there was a boy. His name was Ilyusha. And he was the same age as you.

Ilyusha ate candy before dinner, and then his mother called him to the table. She poured him some soup, and Ilyusha became capricious: “I’m not hungry, I already had candy for lunch!” “But you’ve been walking around, running around, you need to eat well,” his mother convinces him. - Don't want! — Ilyusha is capricious.

And suddenly he hears: someone is crying. I looked around - there was no one. Who is this? Ilyusha listened to himself. And it turns out that his tummy is crying! - What happened to you? - Ilyusha was scared. - Who hurt you? “I’m sitting here, waiting for lunch, but my neck doesn’t give me anything!” And I want to eat! Ilya the neck asks sternly: “Why don’t you let your tummy eat?” He's dying of hunger there! And the little neck answers: “I myself haven’t had a drop of poppy dew since this morning!” I'm hungry too! My mouth didn't feed me! Ilyusha began to scold his mouth: “Why don’t you feed the neck?” It makes my tummy cry! And the mouth answers: “You, Ilyusha, didn’t eat the soup.” And I, my mouth, didn’t eat the soup. And the neck got nothing. That's why my tummy is hungry. “I gave you some candy,” Ilyusha says indignantly. - I had to share! - This candy is not enough for me alone. Is this food?! It melted in your mouth and is gone. Nothing reached the tummy. What to do? Ilya feels sorry for his own tummy.

He grabbed a spoon and began putting soup into his mouth. The mouth immediately became happy, chews and treats the neck. And the neck sends soup into your tummy. Ilyusha ate the whole bowl of soup and asked: “Well, tummy, are you full?” Not yet, screams the tummy. - I want the second one! Ilyusha ate the potatoes too. - Well, are you full now? -And the compote? - asks the tummy. Ilyusha asked his mother for compote. - Well, are you full? And my tummy doesn’t even have the strength to answer - it’s so full. It can only gurgle. - Glug-glug. Thank you, Ilyusha,” the tummy gurgled. - Now I'm full. And thanks to mom for the delicious soup!

Ilyusha says to his mother: “Mom, my tummy said thank you!” - Please, my dears! - Mom smiled contentedly.

The therapeutic effect of fairy tales

Incredibly, fairy tales have a therapeutic effect. A fairy tale about vegetables for children can be no worse than one where the main characters are people. This way, the child can quickly get acquainted and “make friends” with new vegetables. If he refuses to eat certain foods, then an interesting fairy tale about vegetables will help change his attitude towards them. Reading or listening to fairy tales, you are involuntarily transported to the world of magic and fantasy, dreams and daydreams. In this amazing world, anything can happen. Animals and birds can talk, houses can be made of candy, people can travel through time, fly, etc. The world of fairy tales is always kind and beautiful. That's why not only children, but also adults like them so much.

A fairy tale about a boy Sasha who ate poorly (Ekaterina Kubasova)

Sasha did not eat well. He only loved candy and other sweets. But his mother also forced him to eat porridge, borscht, soup, pasta, salads and much more. “I don’t want to, I won’t eat!” Sasha repeated. Mom said that she would give everything to the dog and cat, but that didn’t help. Then mom promised not to let Sasha go outside, not to let him watch cartoons, not to play, not to read books to him and not to give him candy if he didn’t eat.

Sasha was offended. “When I leave my mother for good, then no one will force me to eat.” And left. He got dressed, put a bun, an apple, and candy in his pocket and went wherever his eyes were looking. He walked for a long time and met a dog. The dog sat on the road and whined. Sasha asked:

-Why are you crying? “I’m hungry,” said the dog. “I haven’t eaten anything for a long time and have become completely weak.” To be strong, you need to eat well. Sasha was a kind boy. He took pity on the dog and gave her his bun.

He went further. He sees a bunny lying under a bush and crying. “Why are you crying?” asked Sasha. - I want to eat. If I don't eat, my legs will become completely weak, and I won't be able to outrun either the fox or the wolf. Sasha also took pity on the bunny and gave him his apple.

Then he looked around. His house was not visible, because Sasha had gone very far away. He thought: “I’m tired, my legs hurt, I want to eat. I also became weak, like a dog and a bunny, from hunger. He took a candy out of his pocket and ate it, but it didn’t give him any more strength. “What is the use of candy?” thought Sasha, “now I should eat porridge, or borscht, or noodles with a cutlet.” At least drink a glass of milk!” And Sasha decided to return home. Who will feed him except his mother?!

He quickly ran back. Although Sasha was tired, he gathered all his strength and ran to his house. His mother opened the door for him. “Mom, quickly give me something to eat,” Sasha asked right from the doorway. -I'm hungry like a dog, I'm hungry like a bunny, I'm so weak. “What will you eat?” Mom asked. -I’ll eat everything now. I want to be strong, healthy, strong, I want to grow big. Now Sasha began to eat well both at home and in kindergarten. I even asked for more. He didn't want to be weak and remain small!

Merry vegetable garden

This is a short story about vegetables. One day a puppy was walking through the garden and met its inhabitants. But I just didn’t know what their name was. We need to help the puppy learn about the inhabitants of the wonderful garden.

First the dog saw a green and pimply creature. Who is it? So this is a cucumber, a real brave daredevil.

Then he met a handsome red man. It was ripe, juicy and a little chubby. It's Signor Tomato!

And here is a business lady, she is dressed in a hundred fur coats. And in the summer she is not the least bit hot. This is cabbage that just can't get warm.

Who is it that exposed his side to the sun? He didn't tan, but just turned a little white. Yes, this is a couch potato.

He walked further and saw colorful bushes. These were sweet peppers of different colors: red, orange, yellow and green.

He also saw a girl whose braid was always on the street, and she herself was sitting in prison. Who is this? Of course, carrots. Now the puppy knows who lives in the cheerful garden. It is inhabited by wonderful people.

About Katyushina Kaprizka (Olga Bykova)

In one city there lived a girl. Such a small Girl, with a snub nose, radiant eyes and thin pigtails. The girl's name was Katyusha. The girl's mother and father went to work, and she stayed at home with her grandmother.

Everything would be fine, but Katyusha didn’t like porridge. She didn’t really like to eat at all, but she simply couldn’t stand porridge. Grandmother persuaded her this way and that. She explained how useful porridge is for small children, sang songs to her, told her fairy tales, even danced and showed her magic tricks. Nothing helped. Our Katyusha first asked to add butter, then sugar, then salt, and then flatly refused to eat “this disgusting thing.”

And at this time, a small, harmful Capriciousness escaped from one absent-minded wizard and set off around the world in search of shelter, until the wizard had enough and returned her back to the dark chest.

Capriciousness was sneaking around the city when she suddenly heard a loud cry from a girl: “I don’t want to!” I won’t eat this porridge of yours!” Capriciousness looked through the open window and saw Katyusha eating.

"Wonderful!" - thought Kaprizka and jumped straight into Katyusha’s wide open mouth.

No one, of course, noticed anything, but from that day on Katyusha became completely unbearable. She refused to eat even the delicious cutlets prepared by her grandmother, even the fluffy golden brown pancakes with strawberry jam! And Kaprizka grew and grew every day. Katyusha, on the contrary, became thinner and more transparent. Moreover, Kaprizka gradually began to stick her nose out and offend Katyusha’s relatives.

And one day my grandmother suddenly said: “I won’t clean the house anymore, and I won’t cook anymore either, no one wants to eat it anyway!” And she sat down on the balcony and began to knit a long, very long striped sock.

And my mother said: “I don’t want to go to the store anymore to buy food, clothes and toys!” She lay down on the sofa and began to read a thick book.

And dad said: “I don’t want to go to work anymore!” He placed chess on the board and began an endless game with himself.

And among all this disgrace sat a satisfied Capriciousness, admiring what she had done. And Katyusha went to the mirror and looked at herself. She did not see her radiant eyes - they went out and acquired gray circles. The nose drooped, and the pigtails puffed up in different directions, like the branches of a Christmas tree. Katyusha felt sorry for herself and began to cry. And she was also so ashamed that she had offended her grandmother.

It’s not even clear where such a little girl came from so many tears! The tears flowed and flowed. They turned into a river! And these tears were such sincere tears of repentance that they simply washed the unwary Capriciousness out into the street, straight into the hands of the wizard looking for her.

And Katyusha suddenly realized how hungry she was. She went to the kitchen, took a saucepan with the rest of the porridge from the refrigerator and ate it all, even without butter, sugar and salt. Having cried and eaten, she fell asleep right there at the table. And I didn’t hear how dad carried her to the crib and, kissing her on the cheek, ran to work. Mom kissed her daughter on the other cheek, salty from tears, and also left. And grandma, having thrown her striped sock somewhere, was rattling pots and pans in the kitchen, intending to prepare a delicious dinner for the whole family!

Tale about vegetables (funny)

Grandfather planted a turnip. And I expected her to grow very, very big. It's time to. Grandfather began to dig turnips. He pulls and pulls... And then he hears that the vegetable is talking to him.

- Grandpa, what kind of turnip am I to you, I’m a red carrot with green curly hair!

“These are miracles,” says the grandfather, “but where did I plant the turnip?” I do not remember. Get into my basket, you’ll need it for soup, but in the meantime, we’ll look for it together. He walks further through the garden. Pulls and pulls...

“Oh, be careful with me, I’m not a turnip, but a beet,” answered the burgundy lady in a businesslike manner.

“How can that be,” says the grandfather, “I got it mixed up again.” I'm an old fool. Well, come with me, you’ll need some borscht. He moves on.

“You’re probably a turnip,” the grandfather turned to another vegetable.

- Who am I? No, what are you? I'm a potato.

“Here you go,” muttered grandfather, “oh, old age is not a joy.” He's blind and has problems with his memory. How can I find a turnip?

“Here I am,” exclaimed the turnip, “how long can I wait for all of you?” I'm sitting here, bored, alone.

“Finally,” the grandfather rejoiced. I wanted to pull it out, but a really big, big turnip was born. Probably we should call our grandmother, granddaughter and others. How did grandfather pull the turnip? Well, that's another story...

The tale of how Kiryusha saved his mother (Katya Sim)

One morning Kiryusha woke up, stretched, threw back the blanket and ran to look for his mother. Not in the kitchen, not in the living room either... Where did she go? Maybe I went to see my neighbor for a minute? Kiryusha waited and waited, but still no mother. The boy became worried and began to cry. And then he suddenly sees his favorite teddy bear crawling out from under the pillow.

- Why are you crying, Kiryusha? - asked Mishutka. - I lost my mother! I looked for her everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found! – the boy said bitterly. - Please do not cry. I will help your trouble. I know who stole your mom! It was the evil sorceress Zlyuka-Byaka who took her to her kingdom. She didn’t like that your mother takes care of you, plays with you, puts you to bed, walks, cooks for you, kisses, hugs you. Evil-Byaka got angry and stole your mother. - So what should we do now? – asked Kiryusha. - Little bear, do you know where the kingdom of the evil witch is? “I know and I’ll show you the way there, just stop crying!” - answered the plush friend.

And suddenly, everything around began to spin, and the Little Bear and the boy found themselves on the edge of the forest. “Let’s go,” said Mishutka. Do you see the path there? If we follow it, then it will lead us right to the kingdom of Zlyuki-Byaki,” and they, holding hands, ran together along the forest path. They run and run and see that a forest mountain stands in their way, which is impossible to get around. “We’ll have to climb this mountain,” the teddy bear said to Kiryusha. “Oh,” the boy groaned. “For some reason my legs aren’t moving at all,” and tears rolled out of my eyes again! “And this is all because you didn’t want to eat porridge,” answered Mishutka. - Look how quickly I can climb this mountain now. I eat porridge every day! And before the boy even had time to blink his eyes, the Little Bear was already at the top of the mountain.

- What should I do? – thought the boy. “He looked around and suddenly saw a table standing nearby, and on it a plate with aromatic porridge. “Help yourself,” the squirrels giggled, hanging from the tree branches! - We heard that you are going to save your mother! That's why our mother cooked delicious porridge especially for you. Do not be shy! Kiryusha ate porridge and immediately felt strength appear in his legs and throughout his body. He thanked the cheerful squirrels and quickly ran to catch up with the Little Bear. - Well, finally you overcame the mountain! - Mishutka said affectionately. “Now we need to move on.” The sun is already setting, and we have only walked half the way.

They descended from the other side of the mountain and again found themselves on the path. “Do you see the towers in the distance?” Little Bear asked Kiryusha. That's where the evil witch lives. “No, I don’t see anything,” the boy answered in surprise and spread his arms. - Aaaah, I got it! You don’t see it because you refused to eat carrots. “And it contains a lot of vitamin A, which is very good for the eyes,” said the smart Mishutka. “Wait, now I’ll call the Rabbit, he lives right here.” He definitely has a carrot for you! The rabbit came running to the call, listened to Kiryusha and treated him to a carrot. “Thank you,” the boy thanked the Rabbit and ate the carrot with pleasure, because he really wanted to save his mother.

And they, together with the Little Bear, ran even faster along the path. When they approached the Zlyuki-Byaki castle, it was completely, completely dark. “It’s good that night has already come,” said the Teddy Bear. - The witch is already asleep. And you will sneak into her domain, find your mother and save her. - How will I get there? Look how tall the door is! And I don't have the key! – the boy answered bitterly. “No problem,” came a voice from above. “I’ll now fly to the witch’s bedroom and quietly remove the key from her neck.” And I saw your mother. The evil one hid her in a high tower. I will show. Kiryusha looked up, and it turned out that the Titmouse bird was talking to him.

Kiryusha was delighted with such help, waved his hand to Titmouse and began to wait for the key. Soon the Titmouse bird flew in, gave the boy the key and began to wait for him to open the door to the kingdom. Kirill took the key, but couldn’t reach the keyhole. - This is all because you didn’t eat potatoes at all! It contains a lot of protein, which helps you grow big and strong. “Now I’ll treat you to it,” the Titmouse sang. – Try it, it’s very tasty! The boy ate a potato and suddenly began to grow. He grew up and reached the keyhole. He opened the door and quickly ran after Titmouse.

So they reached the high tower. Kirill ran up the stairs, opened the heavy door and saw his mother. And his mother was so happy about her son! She hugged, kissed and suddenly, everything started spinning again, spinning and we found ourselves? Teddy bear, Kiryusha and his mother in their apartment. And then dad came!

From then on, Kiryusha ate everything his mother cooked. Let Zlyuka-Byaka know that Kirill will now be big and strong, and he will always have enough strength to come to his mother’s aid. After all, it is unknown what trials may await him again!

Vegetable dispute

This is an autumn tale about vegetables. Once upon a time there lived an old man and an old woman. Grandfather watched TV in the evenings, and grandmother knitted socks for him. They became bored with living like this. We decided to get a vegetable garden. They spent days fiddling with it. They really liked that time flew by quickly and it was not boring at all. It's time to sow the seeds. The grandfather did not entrust such a serious matter to the grandmother. I went to the market myself and bought everything. I decided not to call grandma, but to sow the seeds myself. But he stumbled, and all the seeds scattered throughout the garden.

Grandfather came home gloomy. And he says: “Now how can we find out where the carrots are and where the beets are!” “Don’t worry, grandfather,” said the grandmother, “the time will come, we’ll figure it out ourselves.”

Autumn has come, it's time to harvest. An old man and an old woman were watching, and the vegetables were all so beautiful and ripe. But they argue with each other about which of them is better and more useful.

- I am a tomato, I make a delicious tomato. I'm the best.

- And I’m the most useful of all. I am the onion, I save everyone from illness.

- But no. I'm also rich in vitamins. I am a sweet and very tasty pumpkin, and I am also very bright and beautiful.

“You’re not the only one who shines with beauty.” I am a red carrot, I am a beautiful girl. Healthy and tasty, everyone really likes it.

The vegetables argued for a long time until the grandfather and grandmother said: “You are all in charge, important and useful. We will gather you all, we will not leave anyone in the garden. Some will go into porridge, some into soup, and many of you will eat it raw and very tasty. The vegetables were delighted, laughed and clapped.”

The Tale of the Sad Plate (Maria Shkurina)

Once upon a time there lived a girl, Katya. Katya was a good girl: kind, polite, caring. Only Katya didn’t like to eat. And what her mother didn’t cook for her: soups, porridge, cutlets with pasta - but Katya had one answer to everything: “I don’t want to, I won’t.”

Once the grandmother gave the girl a new plate. Beautiful, pink. He says: “Here, Katenka, a new plate for you, it’s not an ordinary one. Loves it when kids eat well.” Katya thanked her grandmother for the gift, but she didn’t eat any better.

Once Katya’s mother put mashed potatoes with a chicken cutlet on a new plate, and she left the kitchen to run errands. Katya sits in front of a plate, does not eat, but only spreads mashed potatoes on it with a fork. Suddenly the girl hears someone crying. Katya looked around, but couldn’t understand anything. She was even a little scared, and then she grew bolder and asked:

-Who is this crying? - This is me, a plate. I'm crying. - Why are you crying? - asks the girl. “I’m upset that you don’t eat well and never see my smile,” the plate answers. - Do you know how to smile? – Katya was surprised. - Of course I can. “You’ll eat all the food until the day and you’ll see for yourself,” answered the plate.

The girl immediately took up her fork and ate the entire cutlet and mashed potatoes. And as soon as the bottom of the plate became empty, Katya saw that she was really smiling and was no longer crying.

Since then, Katya always ate what her mother cooked, and the plate always smiled gratefully at her for it.

A therapeutic tale about healthy vegetables. Part one

So, a therapeutic tale about vegetables could be next. Katya, as usual, was visiting her grandmother during the summer holidays. She really liked this village. The bright and warm sun always lifted my spirits, and I could always swim to my heart's content in the clean river. Only Katya was very often capricious and did not obey her grandmother. She did not want to eat cooked vegetables and fruits. The girl refused to eat them and said: “I don’t want this, I won’t do this. I don’t eat this green one, but take away this red one.” And everything like that. Of course, this greatly upset the grandmother, because she tried so hard for her beloved granddaughter. But Katenka couldn’t help herself.

A therapeutic tale about healthy vegetables. Part two

One day the girl went outside and heard someone talking in the garden. She came closer to the beds and was very surprised. The vegetables were arguing among themselves.

“I am more important than anyone in the world,” said the potato, “I am able to saturate the entire body and give strength for the whole day.” Thanks to my beneficial properties, every child will run, jump, gallop for a long time, and will not get tired at all.

- It’s not true, I’m the most important! - said the beautiful orange carrot. You have no idea how much beta-carotene is in me - a supervitamin. It is good for vision.

“Hmm,” Katya thought, “grandmother probably loves carrots very much, since she still knits and reads without glasses.”

Meanwhile, the vegetables continued to argue:

“Dear friend,” the pumpkin joined the conversation, “don’t think that you’re the only one rich in beta-carotene.” I have plenty of it too. I help people cope with autumn ailments. I also contain vitamin C.

“I also have this vitamin,” the red pepper answered playfully, “I have much more of it than citrus fruits.”

- No, guys, of course, you are important, but I’m still the most important! - said broccoli. - You can eat me not only boiled, fried or stewed, but also raw. I contain the most useful vitamins. And the soup I make is excellent.

- Friends, you are all right, of course, but without me the dishes don’t turn out as tasty. - said the bow in a deep voice, - and I can cure a person of various diseases.

And then the vegetables noticed that someone was watching them, and they immediately stopped their argument, as if they were not talking at all.

- These are miracles! - Katenka said quietly. - And then the grandmother called her granddaughter to eat. Katya realized that she was very hungry and ran to wash her hands. When the girl saw that pumpkin porridge was waiting for her for breakfast, she was very happy. She wanted to try all the vegetables herself and choose which of them was more important and tastier. Katya decided that now she would enjoy eating her grandmother’s salads and porridge and would become beautiful and healthy.

Why do onions make people cry? They say he is very angry. Who is making him angry at the dacha? Why is he like this? I asked my grandmother: “Tell me why?” And she explained to me, Explained what was what. That onions are a healthy vegetable, and no one makes them angry. He is always in a hurry to help, and will protect you from germs. Raw onions are, of course, bitter, but garlic is even more bitter. But it is a persistent helper against colds for people.

While I was sleeping soundly for a long time, I'll have to call a dump truck to take the couch potato away. - Enough, don't grow anymore! Have pity on us, my friend! - And KABACHISHCHE answered - I’m very proud of myself - I broke the world record!

There are no more beautiful radishes in our garden. How juicy, red, round, Don’t look how small it is. The turnip was also a success, lit up like a yellow sun. Well, is the onion really bad, an old man in a hundred clothes?

Look at the cucumber, the cucumber is so cunning! He dresses deftly and hides under the leaves. I will rake the leaves with my hand, and pick a cucumber from the garden. I'll break it in half and salt it thickly. I grow cucumbers myself, come and treat me!

Whether in the garden, in the field, In the city of Dikropol, Where the sentinel pod sticks out Above the tomato fence, Behind the salad settlement, Behind the pea mountain, Behind the wet carrot valley, Behind the garlic picket fence, Under the beet room Well-fed, festive, satisfied, Lying down on a pink barrel Zucchini ! Holds the leaf suspended. Drinks honeydew, And warms the Striped wasp behind the collar. How good he is - you can’t tear him off the ground! It’s better to eat something else today. We’ll look at this hero today. This is such a garden bed - It’s Sweet to the Eye!

There are many beds in the garden, there are turnips and lettuce. There are beets and peas, but are potatoes really bad? Our green garden will feed us for a whole year.

Together in grandma's field, in the vegetable garden. Well, in the evening I’ll water them all in order. So that the peas curl their mustache, So that the tomato comes out big, So that the lush borage does not dry out. And I will drive away the harmful cabbage plants from the cabbage, So that November will crunch with a delicious stalk.

The weeds choke the pea bushes, and the carrots are barely visible - In general, things are bad.

Carrots won't grow like that, it won't do any good! Two sisters went out weeding again today.

Marinka has two hands, And Sveta has two hands: The work went well! Watch out, weeds!

We worked for an hour - And, perhaps, that’s enough. Will drink carrot juice in a month, brother.

Why you need to eat (Irina Gurina)

Once upon a time there lived a girl, Nastenka. She really didn't like to eat. “Look how delicious the porridge is,” her grandmother told her. - Eat at least a spoonful. Just try it - you will definitely like it. But Nastenka only pressed her lips tightly and shook her head.

“Eat the cottage cheese,” grandfather persuaded Nastenka. - It is very tasty and healthy. But she didn’t want to eat the cottage cheese either.

“Look how delicious this soup is,” said my mother. - Look how handsome he is! There are red carrots, green peas, white potatoes! - I won’t! - Nastenka screamed and ran away from the kitchen.

Day after day passed. One day Nastenka went for a walk with her friends. They decided to go down the hill. And a high ladder led up the hill. The friends tramp, tramp, and climbed to the very top, and Nastenka stood below and was upset: “Look, you are all so big and strong!” Why am I so small? I can’t climb the steps, I can’t hold on to the railing, I can’t go down the slide! - It’s true! — the girlfriends were surprised. - Why are you so small? “I don’t know,” Nastenka was upset and went home. She comes into the house, undresses, and tears just keep falling: drip and drip, drip and drip. Suddenly she hears a whisper.

Nastenka went into her room. There is no one, it's quiet. I went to see my grandparents. It's also empty. She looked into her parents’ room and there was no one there. “I don’t understand anything,” the girl shrugged. -Who is whispering? She tiptoed towards the kitchen. She opened the door slightly - the whispering became louder. The chair is empty, the corners are empty. There is only a bowl of soup on the table. “Oh,” Nastenka was surprised, “it’s the vegetables talking!” “I’m the most important one here,” the carrot was angry. - I have vitamin A - this is the most important vitamin. It helps children grow. And the one who eats vitamin A sees well, almost like an eagle. You can't live without me! - No, us! No, we are in charge! — the peas were jumping. — Green peas also contain vitamin A. And there are more of us, which means we are more important! And in general, we also have vitamin B! “I also have vitamin B. I’m not bragging,” the meat grumbled. “I generally have a lot of all sorts of vitamins that are needed for my heart to function well and for my teeth and gums to be healthy.” “And I have vitamin C,” the potato jumped. - He is more important than everyone else. Whoever eats vitamin C does not catch a cold! Then they all shouted in unison and almost came to blows. A large tablespoon, quietly dozing next to the plate, rose, slapped the broth and said: “Stop arguing!” When Nastya hears that the soup is magical and that those who eat well, grow quickly and don’t get sick, will be happy and eat you all along with their vitamins!

- And I heard, I heard! - Nastenka shouted, running into the kitchen. “I really want to grow up and ride down the hill with everyone else!” She took a spoon and ate the soup. Since then, Nastenka ate well every day. Soon she grew up and even became taller than her friends!
