Tale of Baikal

In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, the great Lake Baikal has been living in Siberia since ancient times. He lived with his daughter the river Angara. They were very happy, because they were famous as the cleanest and most beautiful on the planet. But they had a not entirely clean neighbor - the Yenisei. Father Baikal did everything so that Angara did not know about him, but he did not succeed. Angara fell in love with the Yenisei and fled to him. From that moment on, she ceased to be the most pure and beautiful.

Time passed. Angara never returned to her father, and people were no longer reverent towards nature. The river became more and more clogged, and now the turn came to Baikal. People built various factories, and Baikal quickly began to lose its purity and beauty. People believed that it was nature itself that littered the great lake, but it was not so!

Baikal decided to make a meeting of all the inhabitants of its waters. They began to think what to do with these people, because because of their carelessness, Baikal was getting worse and worse, it was dying.

At this meeting Baikal said:

- Something needs to be done quickly! Otherwise we will all die.

One seal suggested:

- Let's make a storm! They will all be washed away, and no one will be able to kill us anymore!

Here the golomyanka intervened in the conversation:

- Listen, seal, I don't agree with you. If we make a storm, there will be more in our waters more trash!

- We must do everything to make people escape from our territory!

Then a seagull flew up and intervened in their conversation:

- I fly and see everything from above, and I can say that not all people are bad. Some of them, on the contrary, are trying to save us, and some of them create their own volunteer groups and purify the waters of Baikal and Angara.

And then Baikal thought and said:

- Since you, seagull, see everything from above, so find those people and help them expand their groups. If there are many such people, then perhaps we will regain our former purity and beauty.

Other birds decided to help the seagull in her search, and they all set off together.

Three hours have passed. Birds flew, but could not find anyone. But now, one of the birds noticed children who were arguing furiously with adults about something. All the birds hid and listened, they became very interested in what they were arguing about.

"It's none of your business what we do!" - the first thing they heard.

“How is this not ours? You are destroying our nature! She's suffering from your waste."- it was clearly the voice of children. The birds realized that they had found those they were looking for. After the argument ended, they flew up to the guys and said that they needed help. The seagulls asked the children if they knew any other good people like they are. One of the boys replied that they belonged to a volunteer club, and their club had more than five thousand people. The birds were very happy, because they found their saviors! The birds flew off and told this excellent news to Baikal, to all its inhabitants and to the Angara, which, although she loved the Yenisei, still pitied her father.

Previously, volunteers could not attract people to help, and the number of five thousand held out for several years. But the birds carried information about pollution to all regions. And soon the club of volunteers began to number ten thousand people, and all of them improved the environment every day. Baikal and Angara have become beautiful and clean again! Animals and inhabitants water world They were happy because they had clean water.

Although there were more volunteers, they could not clean up everything that other people had polluted. They tried very hard to help nature preserve its original appearance. Birds and animals continued to carry information around the world ...

"About Baikal" is a fairy tale about how the Siberian Lake Baikal arose. In ancient times, in its place was a dense forest full of birds and animals. This legend will tell the children about the struggle with a huge bird that frightened and tormented people. The hunters could not kill her, from the hot rays emitted by the bird, they themselves died. But one day a child was born who grew by leaps and bounds. And he became a very strong hero. People asked him to save them from the terrible bird. The hero made a huge bow and arrow for him. And how it all happened, guys, you will learn by reading this old legend.


In ancient times, in the place where Lake Baikal is now, a dense forest grew. There were so many birds and animals in this forest that it was difficult for a person to pass. Among the birds, one stood out, it was the size of a large sturgeon. Her wings were huge, strong, if it touches a tree, it falls to the ground with a root, touches a rock - the rock shatters.

People were afraid of that bird and could not kill it in any way, because when it flew, such hot rays came from it that the hunters fell dead.
But one man was born among the people. He grew by leaps and bounds. Soon he grew up a hero and was not afraid of any force. The people went to him to ask him to save everyone from trouble and kill that fiery bird. The rich man obeyed. From a hundred trees he made himself a bow, from two hundred forests he hewed an arrow and went hunting. Soon the whole earth shook.

fell from well-aimed shot that bird, the fire started so that the sky is hot. The people dispersed from this taiga to the mountains and saw columns of water breaking through the flames. So the sea was in that place.
When the land and taiga burned, the people kept shouting: “Baikal, Baikal!” When the sea became, behind that place the name Baikal was preserved from century to century. Either the big people called the fire Baikal, or that bird was called that, or maybe this word meant “a lot of water” ... People only remembered that this place is called Baikal.

The legacy of the Siberian peoples
Between the high mountains, in the boundless taiga lies the world's greatest Lake Baikal - the glorious Siberian Sea.
Siberia was an unknown and mysterious country in ancient times - wild, icy, deserted. A few tribes of Siberian peoples - Buryats, Yakuts, Evenks, Tofalars and others roamed the vast Siberian expanses. For their nomads, the most attractive and generous were the shores of sacred Baikal, the taiga and steppes between the mighty rivers Angara, Yenisei, Lena, Lower Tunguska and Selenga, the whites gave tundra up to the Arctic Ocean.
The fate of the indigenous inhabitants of Siberia was not easy. Harsh climate, dependence on natural conditions, insecurity from diseases, the inability to conduct subsistence farming, the oppression of petty princes, merchants and shamans - all this formed a special character and spiritual warehouse of the Siberian peoples.
The peoples of Siberia did not have a written language. But the thirst for knowledge of the world, its figurative comprehension, the thirst for creation irresistibly pulled people to creativity. Wonderful crafts made of wood, bone, stone and metal were created by Siberian craftsmen. Songs and epics, fairy tales and legends, myths and legends were composed. These creations are an invaluable heritage of the Siberian peoples. Passed down from mouth to mouth, from generation to generation, they carried great spiritual power. They reflected the history of the people, their ideals, their desire for liberation from centuries of oppression, the dream of a free and joyful life, of the brotherhood of peoples.
Siberian folklore is original and original. Worldly wisdom, national color, artistic expressiveness characteristic of Siberian fairy tales, legends and traditions.
The collection contains various genres oral art peoples inhabiting the shores of Lake Baikal and the valleys of the surrounding rivers: fairy tales, legends, traditions and oral stories; fairy tales about social life and about animals. The texts of the presented works are unequal. Some of them are given in literary processing, others are created by writers based on folk tales, legends, others - are printed in their original form, as they are recorded from the storytellers, with only minor corrections. Some fairy tales may seem unassuming and even primitive. However, this apparent primitiveness is fraught with a living immediacy, naturalness and simplicity, which constitute the true originality of the unique folk art. Most of fairy tales of this collection - Buryat, Evenk and Tofalar - the work of peoples who have long lived in the immediate vicinity of Lake Baikal.
Russians appeared in Siberia more than four hundred years ago. They brought with them worldly experience, their culture, made friends with the local peoples, taught them how to cultivate the land, grow bread, breed cows and sheep, and build good houses.
Together with the settlers in Siberia, Russian folk tales also took root.
The heroes of Siberian fairy tales, legends and traditions are original and colorful. In fairy tales, this is Siberian nature itself, lakes and rivers, mountains and forests, which are animated by the people's imagination; these are usually powerful national heroes, gifted with supernatural strength and intelligence, fighting monstrous or evil heroes for the freedom of the people, for truth and justice. In fairy tales about animals, the heroes are Siberian animals and birds, fish and even insects endowed with human qualities. The characters of social fairy tales are ordinary people, residents of the taiga, engaged in hunting and fishing, cattle breeding, struggling with poverty and with their eternal enemies - the rich.
The purpose of this publication was not to collect all the tales of the Siberian peoples. They would have made a multi-volume edition. It is necessary to do this over time: the fabulous creativity of the peoples of Siberia is a priceless treasure that should be in the public domain. The purpose of this collection is to show the most striking, characteristic examples of creativity of the peoples of Central Siberia.
The book includes fairy tales and legends directly related to Baikal, heroic tales glorifying courage, courage and kindness. folk heroes- heroes, as well as toponymic legends about the miraculous origin of geographical natural objects: rivers, lakes, mountains, ravines?.
The section "Happiness and Sorrow" includes social fairy tales. They reflect direct human relationships, and at a later stage - and public, more acute and complex.
Tales about animals are placed in the section "Heavenly deer". Amazing ability creative imagination people to invest a living human soul in the images of animals, trees, things and objects. This speaks of the closeness of people of ancient times to nature, their inseparability from it and their great respect for it. In fairy tales about animals, the best human qualities are extolled: kindness, justice, honesty, diligence, courage, and cruelty, laziness, cowardice, boastfulness are condemned. These tales clearly convey the people's ideas about human morality: what a person should be in order to have the right to be called a person. This is the great educational power of fairy tales.

Fairy tale "How crustaceans saved Baikal"


*****
Once upon a time there lived in Baikal the crustaceans Epishur.
They brought great benefits to Baikal, purifying water, passing it through themselves. The water in Baikal was clean and transparent.
But suddenly trouble came. Spirogyra algae appeared in the lake.


The crustaceans began to hurt, less clean the water. The water off the coast turned green, the fish began to die.
The crustaceans gathered for advice and began to think how to get rid of Spirogyra. It is long, growing down to forty meters. The crustaceans decided to cut long algae and bury them in a hole. The crustaceans worked for a long time and buried a lot of algae. The water became lighter and cleaner. A little time passed, and Spirogyra became even more.
The crustaceans gathered again for advice. We decided to call other Baikal animals for help. They came up with the idea to make a grid of iron and catch all the algae. They made a net and gathered the entire Spirogyra off the coast.


Time passed, and the algae of the shores of Baikal again tightened. The crustaceans were completely desperate. They decided to turn to the man. Let the person help them.
They wrote a letter and asked:
“People clean the shores of Lake Baikal from garbage, because the more garbage, the faster the algae grow;
Build a steamer that sails across Lake Baikal and collects Spirogyra; Come up with a cure so that the algae die and the inhabitants of Baikal recover.”
The letter was sealed in a bottle and sent to the shore of Lake Baikal. People received the letter and began to think how to help.
The crustaceans are now waiting and hoping that help will come to them soon. Baikal will again become, as before, the cleanest lake in the world.
