Thumbelina my favourite fairy tale.

Why "Thumbelina", the reason is ordinary - it was the first fairy tale which to me was read by mother before going to bed. Here a story about the tiny girl who against the will got into scrapes was pleasant, but every time, a magic image the way out was found of a difficult situation and the girl it seems as escaped, but again it appeared in a trap.
On a plot the lonely woman very much wanted to have children, but... could not, because of a despair she addressed the sorcerer and that gave her kernel, ordered to put him in a pot with the earth, to water, look after... and, further posmory that - will leave all this botanical invention. After a while in a flowerpot the sprout arose, further the sprout turned into a flower with a strong bud. In speed the bud revealed and the woman with surprise saw in scarlet petals of a flower... the little sleeping girl. "Here, now I will have a daughter..." - the happy woman exclaimed.
The little girl was so tiny, it is no more than little finger, a rostochok in inch, was so decided to call her "Thumbelina". As all late desired children, the woman in every possible way indulged the unusual daughter. Thumbelina perfectly found room in a nut skorlura, as a bed to it served petals of gentle violets, she drank morning dew and rode a pearl necklace which served it as a swing now.
Lovely Thumbelina had a carefree fine childhood, but all this idyll was destroyed by a family of warty toads who saw the wife and the daughter-in-law in the girl. Stole a cradle with Thumbelina, having dragged off to themselves to the slippery and musty swamp. On that was only counted by green toads, here is unclear. They probably thought that the fragile little girl cannot fight with them and she anyway to obey to them, and will exist by their rules...
Thumbelina sitting on a huge leaf of a water lily, bitterly cried over the hopelessness and its salty tears were guessed by small fishes, they gnawed through a stalk, the truth to them lazy cancer hermit helped and the leaf floated on a current. To come off a zhaby pursuit, Thumbelina threw with a corbel from the short skirt flying by by a moth, the leaf accelerated the movement. So already a little matured heroine avoided to speed up-become the zhaby spouse.
But, adventures in life of our pretty girl, only begin... It is saved by a may-bug, the true gentleman who at once made a declaration of love to Thumbelina and entered it into the party of insects...
Numerous zhzhuzhashchy society, having noticed unusual appearance of the girl, at once became embittered, out of envy having told a heap of tales to the Bug, just beat off from it the Bug in love. He the ninny right there got rid of the charming beauty...
Bug... too to me the man, threw gentle Thumbelina in the dense forest, practically doomed to death. But, our fantastic girl survived in the forest, the truth to the first cold weather...
Probably all of us came up against a situation when it were not pleasant to friends of our elects.
To me even envious friends of the groom, broke a wedding, he was same flabby and conducted as the Bug from the fairy tale.
No, of course at the beginning all this situation unsettled me, but after a while, I was very grateful to ill-natured persons friends. In that situation be the obvious winner ostalas-Ya.
Late fall Thumbelina the cunning Mouse who made of the girl, practically sheltered in the hole servants, without allowing even to leave the target dwelling.
Nevertheless Thumbelina managed though it is rare, but to go beyond a hole. In one of such exits, the little girl saves the Swallow falling from overcooling. The little girl all winter unknown to a quirky Mouse, nursed a sick bird. For the house, fragile girl, this situation was strong test, it was necessary to it undereating and even stealing grain reserves from a sharp-toothed Mouse a little, to bring up the Swallow and only to it, to the bird who is in a gluby coma, Thumbelina told about the sad fate, that the hitrozadelanny Mouse wants to marry her to a disgusting, but rich Mole violently...
The winter though was long, gloomy, but it terminated. The swallow recovered and having spread wings, with the words of gratitude to Thumbelina rose into the sky, having suggested to fly together, but our heroine refused, having referred to a duty, before the Mouse...
The artful plan of the Mouse gradually moved ahead, thereby bringing closer day of "X". Spiders weaved an airy wedding dress for Thumbelina, and the old Mouse rejoiced... it is unclear, to what.
The old blind underground inhabitant Krot, was a maniacal cheapskate and there hardly, something would fall intermittently on the Mouse share.
"Than you want to be engaged so far, wealthy Moles?"
"And what if to us to count?"
The stingy old Mole expected to marry the beautiful girl though he in a type of the blindness, could not even see it. He wished that Thumbelina for life sat with it in a dungeon and when did not go out of doors any more.
The mole with a sneer argued on the sun, beauty of the nature and td. Suited this greedy oligarch that future wife eats a little and in general it is unpretentious.
Unenviable matrimonial life expected the poor girl... Before forever grinding itself in a krotovy dugout, Thumbelina left a mouse hole that with tears in the eyes to say goodbye to the warm sun, a green grass, noise of trees and beauty of forest life. At this touching and turning point, the pack of swallows just flew by, they went to the South, to warm regions.
Swallow having seen the rescuer in a desperate situation, landed and having listened toy a terrible story, suggested our miniatyurka to fly on the South-together.
In a wedding dress Thumbelina sat down on a back to the Swallow and they together left the unfriendly place. I think, the Mole was a little shocked with such act, the wedding broke and he the old miser suffered "enormous losses".
In the South side which is buried in exotic flowers, Inch plank found the happiness among elves. The king Elf was over head and ears in love with it.
Of course a wedding, flowers, congratulations from all elves and a grateful Swallow.
That to me precisely not to liking, so it is the moment of change of the Dyuymovochkiny name addressed to "Maya". The newly made husband did not like an ugly name. Some dictatorship appears in an act of the Elf.
Well, unless we do not dream of such beautiful life... A violaceous bed, dew and pollen of flowers in food quality, a pearl swing and... you all are desired.
To fantastic heroes always to have to overcome the mass of difficulties before to find happiness, rest, prosperity and love.
Hans-Christian Andersen is an ingenious writer.
Christian Hans Andersen is a talented Danish writer who wrote nevoroyatno fantasmagoriyny stories with deep meaning.
Andersen was the most published writer in the USSR, based on its fine skazkok tremendous animated films were shot. Just in the article, I used storyboards from the animated film "Thumbelina" which came out in 1964.
Hans-Christian was a native of poor family, the father shoemaker, mother laundress, but it did not prevent Andersen to become the writer.
Future author of fairy tales was not a diligent pupil and until the end of life wrote with grammatical mistakes what did not prevent it to win fame of the talented author of magic stories.
Christian Hans conducted lonely life, was not married and had no children. By the way the interesting fact, the writer strongly was angry when he was called the children's storyteller, he considered that his fairy tales are addressed not only to children, but also adults. Andersen hated children and even took the word that after his death, at a monument there will be no faces/figure of children.
