Персонажи сказки три поросенка

Трудолюбивый умница и глупые лодыри

Герои волшебной сказки Сергея Михалкова — три весёлых поросёнка. Будучи братьями-близняшками, они выглядят одинаково — упитанные, розовые, с забавными пятачками и хвостиками-колечками. Имена поросяток тоже звучат похоже: Ниф-Ниф, Наф-Наф и Нуф-Нуф.

Братцы обожают беззаботный летний отдых. Играть в догонялки, купаться в тёплой луже, греть бока на ласковом солнышке — что может быть лучше? Но лето подходит к концу, скоро похолодает и начнутся дожди. Потом и вовсе наступит зима, а с её морозами и метелями шутки плохи… Мысль о смене сезона не даёт Наф-Нафу покоя. Он предлагает братьям построить домик, чтобы защититься от грядущих холодов, дождей и снегопадов.

Ниф-Ниф и Нуф-Нуф ведут себя крайне легкомысленно. Они откладывают идею постройки на долгий срок, предпочитая предаваться весёлым играм. Эти поросята не думают о будущем, они живут одним днём. Наф-Наф со вздохом глядит на их безмятежные кувыркания и прыжки. Он понимает, что работать придётся в одиночку. Наф-Наф покидает братьев и принимается за дело. Умный и практичный поросёнок знает, что на строительство добротного дома потребуется много времени, сил и стройматериалов. Чем раньше начнёшь работу, тем лучше.

Три новых дома

Вскоре погода меняется: наступают первые заморозки и придорожную канаву покрывает тонкий ледок. Беспечные Ниф-Ниф и Нуф-Нуф наконец признают, что пора подумать о крыше над головой. Но поскольку оба поросёнка ужасные лентяи, они хотят построить дома на скорую руку — с минимальными затратами времени и энергии.

Ниф-Ниф решает сделать хижину из соломы. Это лёгкий материал, к тому же за соломинками не надо далеко ходить. К вечеру домик готов. Он напоминает индейский вигвам, но хозяин доволен своим жилищем. Счастливо распевая песенки, Ниф-Ниф приходит к брату. Нуф-Нуф тем временем тоже заканчивает строительство. Его домик построен из сухих веточек и прутьев. Сначала поросёнок хотел соломенную хижинку, как у брата, но всё же рассудил, что зимой в ней будет холодновато. Сооружение из деревянных кольев и прутков кажется Нуф-Нуфу прочным и надёжным. А какая замечательная получилась крыша — вся выстлана сухими листочками!

Радостные поросята бегут повидать Наф-Нафа. Они давно не видели своего братишку и им интересно, как он там поживает? К удивлению Ниф-Нифа и Нуф-Нуфа, трудолюбивый Наф-Наф всё ещё строит свой дом. Он натаскал тяжёлых камней, замесил глиняный раствор и поглощён укладкой кирпичных стен. Братья-поросята переглядываются и хохочут: перед ними не домик, а настоящая крепость. Невозмутимый Наф-Наф отвечает, что поросячий дом и должен быть крепостью, в которой ни один волк не достанет. Его слова ещё больше смешат Ниф-Нифа и Нуф-Нуфа, ведь они уверены, что зубастого хищника не существует — это глупая детская страшилка.

Спасение от неминуемой гибели

Конечно же, волк существует. Более того, он слышит хвастливые речи Ниф-Нифа и Наф-Нафа и сердится — совсем распоясались глупые поросята. Братья мнят себя храбрецами и фантазируют, что бы они сделали с опасным зверем, попадись он им на глаза. Тут волк выходит из-за дерева, а перепуганные поросятки бросаются наутёк, издавая отчаянный визг. Хорошо, что у них есть дома, куда можно юркнуть и закрыть дверь.

К ужасу незадачливых строителей, соломенный вигвам оказывается хлипким жильём. Стоит волку подуть на постройку трижды — хижинка разлетается на мелкие соломинки. Домик из веток тоже не спасает братьев от опасности. Зверь дует пять раз и сооружение превращается в груду веток. Поросята мчатся к «крепости» Наф-Нафа, надеясь, что тот успел завершить строительные работы.

Три поросенка убегают от волка

Наф-Наф отдыхает в крепком каменном доме. Он впускает перепуганных братьев и запирает дверь на засов. Напрасно подоспевший волк пытается сдуть каменные стены — ни один кирпичик не шелохнётся. И дубовая дверь выдерживает натиск острых когтей и зубов. Однако серый злодей не собирается сдаваться: он залезает на крышу и спускается по дымоходу. Ниф-Ниф и Нуф-Нуф трясутся от страха, но их находчивый брат снимает крышку с здоровенного котелка, стоящего в печке. Волк падает в горячую воду, завывает и, ошпаренный, вылетает обратно через трубу. Он убегает далеко в лес и зарекается связываться с поросятами. А Ниф-Ниф и Нуф-Нуф понимают, что хороший дом должен быть крепостью. С тех пор поросята счастливо живут втроём в каменном домике.

Зарубежная и русская версии

Сергей Михалков написал «Три поросёнка» в 1936 году. Основой произведения послужила английская народная сказка. Преобразованная сюжетная канва была оживлена весёлыми рифмовками и расцвела яркими красками. Дети с удовольствием читают сказку Михалкова — она динамичная, забавная и довольно добрая. Это особенно заметно, если сравнить русскую версию с зарубежным оригиналом.

В английском фольклоре читателя ждут более жестокие сцены. Там, сдув соломенную и веточную хижины, голодный волк всё-таки проглатывает глупых поросят, не успевших добежать до каменного укрытия. Но с третьим братцем ему приходится основательно повозиться. Не в силах разрушить кирпичный дом, волк пытается выманить поросёнка хитростью: то предложит ему сладкую репу, то расскажет, где растут вкусные яблочки. Но умный кабанчик трижды обводит хищника вокруг пальца. Рассвирепевший волк лезет в дымоход, падает в кастрюлю с кипятком и сразу погибает. Из его лопнувшего живота выскакивает парочка невредимых поросят.

Желая смягчить сюжет, русский автор оставил в живых и глупых поросят, и самого волка. Мораль сказки осталась прежней: упорный труд приносит достойные плоды, а лень и неосмотрительность становятся причиной серьёзных проблем.

Aarne–Thompson grouping 124
Country England

«The Three Little Pigs» is a fable about three pigs who build three houses of different materials. A Big Bad Wolf blows down the first two pigs’ houses which made of straw and sticks respectively, but is unable to destroy the third pig’s house that made of bricks. The printed versions of this fable date back to the 1840s, but the story is thought to be much older. The earliest version takes place in Dartmoor with three pixies and a fox before its best known version appears in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs in 1890, with Jacobs crediting James Halliwell-Phillipps as the source.

The phrases used in the story, and the various morals drawn from it, have become embedded in Western culture. Many versions of The Three Little Pigs have been recreated and modified over the years, sometimes making the wolf a kind character. It is a type B124[1] folktale in the Thompson Motif Index.

Traditional versions[edit]

«The Three Little Pigs» was included in The Nursery Rhymes of England (London and New York, c.1886), by James Halliwell-Phillipps.[2] The story in its arguably best-known form appeared in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs, first published on June 19, 1890, and crediting Halliwell as his source.[3] The earliest published version of the story is from Dartmoor, Devon, England in 1853, and has three little pixies and a fox in place of the three pigs and a wolf. The first pixy had a wooden house:

«Let me in, let me in», said the fox.
”I won’t”, was the pixy’s answer; ”and the door is fastened.”[4]

Illustration from J. Jacobs, English Fairy Tales (New York, 1895)

The story begins with the title characters being sent out into the world by their mother, to «seek out their fortune». The first little pig builds a house of straw, but a wolf blows it down and devours him. The second little pig builds a house of sticks, which the wolf also blows down, though with more blows and the second little pig is also devoured. Each exchange between wolf and pig features ringing proverbial phrases, namely:

«Little pig, little pig, let me come in.»
«No, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.»
«Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in.»[5]

The third little pig builds a house of bricks, which the wolf fails to blow down. He then attempts to trick the pig out of the house by asking to meet him at several places at specific times, but he is outwitted each time since the pig gets to those places earlier than the wolf. Finally, the infuriated wolf resolves to come down the chimney, whereupon the pig who owns the brick house lights a pot of water on the fireplace. The wolf falls in and is fatally boiled, avenging the death of the final pig’s brothers. After cooking the wolf, the pig proceeds to eat the meat for dinner.

Other versions[edit]

In some versions, the first and second little pigs are not eaten by the wolf after he demolishes their homes but instead runs to their brother’s/sister’s house, who originally had to take care of the two other pigs and build a brick house in a few versions. Most of these versions omit any attempts by the wolf to meet the third pig out of the house after his failed attempt to blow the house in. After the wolf goes down the chimney he either dies like in the original, runs away and never returns to eat the three little pigs or in some versions the wolf faints after trying to blow down the brick house and all three of the pigs survive in either case.

The story uses the literary rule of three, expressed in this case as a «contrasting three», as the third pig’s brick house turns out to be the only one which is adequate to withstand the wolf.[6]
Variations of the tale appeared in Uncle Remus: His Songs and Sayings in 1881. The story also made an appearance in Nights with Uncle Remus in 1883, both by Joel Chandler Harris, in which the pigs were replaced by Brer Rabbit. Andrew Lang included it in The Green Fairy Book, published in 1892, but did not cite his source. In contrast to Jacobs’s version, which left the pigs nameless, Lang’s retelling cast the pigs as Browny, Whitey, and Blacky. It also set itself apart by exploring each pig’s character and detailing the interaction between them. The antagonist of this version is a fox, not a wolf. The pigs’ houses are made either of mud, cabbage, or brick. Blacky, the third pig, rescues his brother and sister from the fox’s den after the fox has been defeated.

Later adaptations[edit]

Animated shorts[edit]

  • Three Little Pigs, a 1933 Silly Symphony cartoon, was produced by Walt Disney. The production cast the title characters as Fifer Pig, Fiddler Pig, and Practical Pig. The first two are depicted as both frivolous and arrogant. The story has been somewhat softened. The first two pigs still get their houses blown down, but escape from the wolf. Also, the wolf is not boiled to death but simply burns himself and runs away. Three sequels soon followed respectively as a result of the short film’s popularity:
    • The first of them was The Big Bad Wolf, also directed by Burt Gillett and first released on April 14, 1934.[7]
    • In 1936, a second cartoon starring the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf followed, with a story based on The Boy Who Cried Wolf. This short was entitled Three Little Wolves and introduced the Big Bad Wolf’s three pup sons, all of whom just as eager for a taste of the pigs as their father.[8]
    • A third cartoon The Practical Pig, was released in 1939, right at the end of the Silly Symphonies’ run.[9] In this, Fifer and Piper, again despite Practical’s warning, go swimming but are captured by the Wolf, who then goes after Practical only to be caught in Practical’s newly built Lie Detector machine.
    • In 1941, a fourth cartoon much of the film was edited into The Thrifty Pig, which was distributed by the National Film Board of Canada. Here, Practical Pig builds his house out of Canadian war bonds, and the Big Bad Wolf representing Nazi Germany is unable to blow his house down.[10]
    • Fiddler Pig, Fifer Pig, and Zeke the Wolf appeared in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
  • In 1942 there was a Walter Lantz musical version, The Hams That Couldn’t Be Cured.[11] The wolf (claiming he is a musical instructor) explains to the court how the three little pigs harassed him through their instrument playing which ends up destroying the wolf’s house.
  • In 1942 there was also a wartime version called Blitz Wolf with the Wolf as Adolf Hitler. It was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio and directed by Tex Avery.

    • The second was The Windblown Hare (1949), featuring Bugs Bunny, and directed by Robert McKimson. In Windblown, Bugs is conned into first buying the straw house, which the wolf blows down, and then the sticks house, which the wolf also blows down. After these incidents, Bugs decides to help the wolf and get revenge on all three pigs, who are now at the brick house.
    • The third was The Turn-Tale Wolf (1952), directed by Robert McKimson. This cartoon tells the story from the wolf’s point of view and makes the pigs out to be the villains.
    • The fourth was The Three Little Bops (1957), featuring the pigs as a jazz band, who refused to let the inept trumpet-playing wolf join until after he died and went to Hell, whereupon his playing markedly improved, directed by Friz Freleng.
  • In 1953, Tex Avery directed a Droopy cartoon, «The Three Little Pups». In it, the pigs are replaced with dogs and the wolf is a Southern-accented dog catcher trying to catch Droopy and his brothers, Snoopy and Loopy, to put in the dog pound. It was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio.
  • In 1980, the book with Erik Blegvad illustrations was made. In 1988, Weston Woods Studios created a short film based on the book.

Animated features[edit]

  • 3 Pigs and a Baby is the first animated film in the series based on «Three Little Pigs». The direct-to-DVD film was released on March 4, 2008 and stars Jon Cryer, Brad Garrett, Steve Zahn and Jesse McCartney.[12]
  • The three pigs and the wolf appear in the four Shrek films.

  • In Rabbit Ears Productionss Storybook Classics adaptation, the pigs appear to be female.
  • The 1992 Green Jellö song, Three Little Pigs was adapted to a claymation music video.
  • In the Shining Time Station episode, Schemer’s Alone, Midge Smoot reads a version of this story to Schemer who paid her an IOU instead of real money, despite the fact that he’s tricking his friends.
  • The characters from the 1933 film adaptation of The Three Little Pigs appeared in the 2001 series Disney’s House of Mouse in many episodes, and again in Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse. The three pigs can be seen in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as greetable characters.[13]
  • The three pigs and the wolf appear in the four Shrek films, and the TV specials Shrek the Halls and Scared Shrekless.
  • In the PBS Kids series Super Why, Pig (Littlest Pig) is one of the main characters of the show. In the episode “The Three Little Pigs: Return of The Wolf,” it is revealed that he is the youngest of the three little pigs. He transforms into Alpha Pig with Alphabet Power.
  • In 2018, the story was told in the first season of Tell Me a Story, a serialized drama that interweaves The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel «into an epic and subversive tale of love, loss, greed, revenge, and murder.»[14]

Literature[edit]

  • One of Uncle Remus’ stories, «The Story of the Pigs» (alt. title: «Brer Wolf and the Pigs»), found in Nights with Uncle Remus (1883), is a re-telling of the story, with the following differences:
    • There are five pigs in this version: Big Pig, Little Pig, Speckle Pig, Blunt and Runt.
    • Blunt is the only male; all the rest are females.
    • Big Pig builds a brush house, Little Pig builds a stick house, Speckle Pig builds a mud house, Blunt builds a plank house and Runt builds a stone house.
    • The Wolf’s verse goes: «If you’ll open the door and let me in, I’ll warm my hands and go home again.»
  • The 1989 parody The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! is presented as a first-person narrative by the wolf (here called Alexander T. Wolf), who portrays the entire incident as a misunderstanding; he had gone to the pigs to borrow some sugar to bake a cake, had destroyed their houses in a sneezing fit, ate the first two pigs not to waste food (since they had died in the house collapse anyway), and was caught attacking the third pig’s house after the pig had continually insulted him.[3]
  • The 1993 children’s book The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig inverts the cast and makes a few changes to the plot: the wolves build a brick house, then a concrete house, then a steel house, and finally a house of flowers. The pig is unable to blow the houses down, destroying them by other means, but eventually gives up his wicked ways when he smells the scent of the flower house, and becomes friends with the wolves.
  • In 2019, Simon Hood published a contemporary version of the story where the three little pig characters were both male and female.[15] Both the language and the illustrations modernised the story, while the plot itself remained close to traditional versions.
  • The Three Little Pigs are often parodied or referenced in Monica and Friends comics, usually in Smudge-related stories due to his strong interest in pigs.

Music[edit]

  • In 1953, Al «Jazzbo» Collins narrated a jazz version of The Three Little Pigs on a Brunswick Records 78 r.p.m. record album titled «steve allen’s grimm fairy tales for hip kids» with piano blues accompaniment by Lou Stein.
  • The 1992 Green Jellö song, Three Little Pigs sets the story in Los Angeles. The wolf drives a Harley Davidson motorcycle, the first little pig is an aspiring guitarist, the second is a cannabis smoking, dumpster diving evangelist and the third holds a Master of Architecture degree from Harvard University. In the end, with all three pigs barricaded in the brick house, the third pig calls 9-1-1. John Rambo is dispatched to the scene, and kills the wolf with a machine gun.
  • In 2003, the Flemish company Studio 100 created a musical called Three Little Pigs (Dutch: De 3 Biggetjes), which follows the three daughters of the pig with the house of stone with new original songs, introducing a completely new story loosely based on the original story. The musical was specially written for the band K3, who play the three little pigs, Pirky, Parky and Porky (Dutch: Knirri, Knarri and Knorri).[16][17]
  • Elton John’s song «And the House Fell Down» (from The Captain & the Kid) is based (metaphorically) on the story.[18]
  • In 2014, Peter Lund let the three little pigs live together in a village in the musical Grimm with Little Red Riding Hood and other fairy tale characters.
  • The second single from metal band In This Moment’s 2014 album Black Widow, «Big Bad Wolf,» references a little pig as well as the big bad wolf.

    • The third was The Turn-Tale Wolf (1952), directed by Robert McKimson. This cartoon tells the story from the wolf’s point of view and makes the pigs out to be the villains.
    • The fourth was The Three Little Bops (1957), featuring the pigs as a jazz band, who refused to let the inept trumpet-playing wolf join until after he died and went to Hell, whereupon his playing markedly improved, directed by Friz Freleng.
  • In 1953, Tex Avery directed a Droopy cartoon, «The Three Little Pups». In it, the pigs are replaced with dogs and the wolf is a Southern-accented dog catcher trying to catch Droopy and his brothers, Snoopy and Loopy, to put in the dog pound. It was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio.
  • In 1980, the book with Erik Blegvad illustrations was made. In 1988, Weston Woods Studios created a short film based on the book.

Animated features[edit]

  • 3 Pigs and a Baby is the first animated film in the series based on «Three Little Pigs». The direct-to-DVD film was released on March 4, 2008 and stars Jon Cryer, Brad Garrett, Steve Zahn and Jesse McCartney.[12]
  • The three pigs and the wolf appear in the four Shrek films.

Television[edit]

  • In 1985, the story was re-told as the first episode of Season Four of Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre, with Billy Crystal as artistic «Larry Pig» (the smart third pig), Jeff Goldblum as henpecked «Buck Wolf», Stephen Furst as capitalistic «Peter Pig» (the first pig), Fred Willard as narcissistic «Paul Pig» (the second pig), Doris Roberts as «Mother Pig» and Valerie Perrine as love interest «Tina Pig». In this version, all three pigs buy their building materials from the same junk salesman (Larry Hankin).
  • In Rabbit Ears Productionss Storybook Classics adaptation, the pigs appear to be female.
  • The 1992 Green Jellö song, Three Little Pigs was adapted to a claymation music video.
  • In the Shining Time Station episode, Schemer’s Alone, Midge Smoot reads a version of this story to Schemer who paid her an IOU instead of real money, despite the fact that he’s tricking his friends.
  • The characters from the 1933 film adaptation of The Three Little Pigs appeared in the 2001 series Disney’s House of Mouse in many episodes, and again in Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse. The three pigs can be seen in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as greetable characters.[13]
  • The three pigs and the wolf appear in the four Shrek films, and the TV specials Shrek the Halls and Scared Shrekless.
  • In the PBS Kids series Super Why, Pig (Littlest Pig) is one of the main characters of the show. In the episode “The Three Little Pigs: Return of The Wolf,” it is revealed that he is the youngest of the three little pigs. He transforms into Alpha Pig with Alphabet Power.
  • In 2018, the story was told in the first season of Tell Me a Story, a serialized drama that interweaves The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel «into an epic and subversive tale of love, loss, greed, revenge, and murder.»[14]

Literature[edit]

  • One of Uncle Remus’ stories, «The Story of the Pigs» (alt. title: «Brer Wolf and the Pigs»), found in Nights with Uncle Remus (1883), is a re-telling of the story, with the following differences:
    • There are five pigs in this version: Big Pig, Little Pig, Speckle Pig, Blunt and Runt.
    • Blunt is the only male; all the rest are females.
    • Big Pig builds a brush house, Little Pig builds a stick house, Speckle Pig builds a mud house, Blunt builds a plank house and Runt builds a stone house.
    • The Wolf’s verse goes: «If you’ll open the door and let me in, I’ll warm my hands and go home again.»
  • The 1989 parody The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! is presented as a first-person narrative by the wolf (here called Alexander T. Wolf), who portrays the entire incident as a misunderstanding; he had gone to the pigs to borrow some sugar to bake a cake, had destroyed their houses in a sneezing fit, ate the first two pigs not to waste food (since they had died in the house collapse anyway), and was caught attacking the third pig’s house after the pig had continually insulted him.[3]
  • The 1993 children’s book The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig inverts the cast and makes a few changes to the plot: the wolves build a brick house, then a concrete house, then a steel house, and finally a house of flowers. The pig is unable to blow the houses down, destroying them by other means, but eventually gives up his wicked ways when he smells the scent of the flower house, and becomes friends with the wolves.
  • In 2019, Simon Hood published a contemporary version of the story where the three little pig characters were both male and female.[15] Both the language and the illustrations modernised the story, while the plot itself remained close to traditional versions.
  • The Three Little Pigs are often parodied or referenced in Monica and Friends comics, usually in Smudge-related stories due to his strong interest in pigs.

Music[edit]

  • In 1953, Al «Jazzbo» Collins narrated a jazz version of The Three Little Pigs on a Brunswick Records 78 r.p.m. record album titled «steve allen’s grimm fairy tales for hip kids» with piano blues accompaniment by Lou Stein.
  • The 1992 Green Jellö song, Three Little Pigs sets the story in Los Angeles. The wolf drives a Harley Davidson motorcycle, the first little pig is an aspiring guitarist, the second is a cannabis smoking, dumpster diving evangelist and the third holds a Master of Architecture degree from Harvard University. In the end, with all three pigs barricaded in the brick house, the third pig calls 9-1-1. John Rambo is dispatched to the scene, and kills the wolf with a machine gun.
  • In 2003, the Flemish company Studio 100 created a musical called Three Little Pigs (Dutch: De 3 Biggetjes), which follows the three daughters of the pig with the house of stone with new original songs, introducing a completely new story loosely based on the original story. The musical was specially written for the band K3, who play the three little pigs, Pirky, Parky and Porky (Dutch: Knirri, Knarri and Knorri).[16][17]
  • Elton John’s song «And the House Fell Down» (from The Captain & the Kid) is based (metaphorically) on the story.[18]
  • In 2014, Peter Lund let the three little pigs live together in a village in the musical Grimm with Little Red Riding Hood and other fairy tale characters.
  • The second single from metal band In This Moment’s 2014 album Black Widow, «Big Bad Wolf,» references a little pig as well as the big bad wolf.

«Три поросёнка» (англ. Three Little Pigs) — одна из самых популярных детских сказок. Сюжет «Трёх поросят» восходит к английскому фольклору; литературные версии «Трёх поросят» известны с XIX века и входят, в частности, в книгу «Детские стишки и истории», изданную в Лондоне в 1843 году Джеймсом Холивеллом-Филлипсом, известные у нас в переложении американского журналиста и писателя Джоэля Харриса как «Сказки дядюшки Римуса».

Сюжет[]

Оригинал[]

Жила-была старуха-свинья и было у неё три сына. Как подросли её сыновья та она им сказала, что они теперь должны построить себе дома. Так первый Поросёнок построил себе дом из соломы. Но тут пришёл Волк и потребовал, чтобы Поросёнок ему открыл. Поросёнок отказался, тогда Волк дунул и снёс дом, а затем съел Поросёнка. Второй построил себе дом из прутьев, но и к нему пришёл Волк и потребовал себя впустить. Поросёнок отказался, и тогда Волк сдул дом и съел поросёнка. А третий Поросёнок построил себе дом из камней. Волк пришёл и к нему, а когда получил отказ, попробовал сдуть дом, но тот выстоял. Тогда Волк прибегнул к хитрости – предложил Поросёнку сходить в огород за брюквой. Поросёнок согласился, и тогда Волк пообещал зайти в шесть. Но поросёнок встал в пять и успел сбегать и нарвать брюквы. Пришедший волк был очень недоволен тем, что его план не сработал. Тогда Волк предлагает сходить в сад за яблоками и обещает зайти в пять. Поросёнок встаёт в четыре и бежит в сад, где набирает ведро яблок. Но он видет подошедшего Волка. Тогда он отвлекает его яблоком и бежит в дом. Поняв, что опять ничего не вышло, Волк зовёт Поросёнка на ярмарку, пообещав зайти в четыре. Но поросёнок встал в три и купил на ярмарке маслобойку. Но когда он вернулся, то увидел Волка. Испугавшись, он влез в маслобойку и покатился в ней с горы, чем напугал Волка. Когда Поросёнок прячется в доме, Волк возвращается и злиться, узнав, что это был Поросёнок. Он снова пытается сдуть дом, но ничего не выходит. Тогда он решается пролезть в дом через дымоход. Однако Поросёнок ставит на огонь котёл с водой, и Волк в него падает, сварившись. А Поросёнок его съедает.

Перевод[]

В переводе Михалкова сюжет более смягчён. Жили-были три поросёнка – Ниф-Ниф, Нуф-Нуф и Наф-Наф. И вот однажды Наф-Наф предложил построить дом. Однако ленивые братья всё откладывают, пока не приходят первые заморозки. Ниф-Ниф быстро строит свой дом из соломы, а Нуф-Нуф из прутьев. Они идут к старшему брату, который строит свой дом из камня. Так же он устанавливает толстую дубовую дверь, напевая про Волка. Братья начинают думать, что Наф-Наф боится Волка. Они начинают гулять по лесу и петь, что они не боятся волков. Их пение будет настоящего Волка. И тот решается съесть поросят. Увидев волка, братья бросаются наутёк. Ниф-Ниф быстро прячется в своём доме. Подошедший Волк требует открыть дверь, но поросёнок отказывается И тогда Волк сдувает дом. Тогда Ниф-Ниф прячется у Нуф-Нуфа.

В сказке Михалкова «Три поросенка» с началом осени трое братьев-поросят стали строить себе дома. Самый серьезный, Наф-Наф построил прочный каменный дом, Ниф-Ниф дом из соломы, а Нуф-Нуф дом из веток. Двое поросят стали смеяться над Наф-Нафом потому, что он слишком серьезно относиться к делу, а потом они разбудили волка. Волк захотел съесть поросят, но они попытались спрятаться у себя в домиках. Сначала волк сдул соломенный дом и дом из веток, в которых спрятались поросята. Потом они запираются в каменном домике Наф-Нафа и волк не может сдуть его, поэтому он решает залезть через трубу. Тогда Наф-Наф открыл крышку котла с кипятком и волк угодил прямо в него. После этого волку убежал, а братья стали жить в домике Наф-Нафа.

Детский писатель Сергей Михалков написал сказку «Три поросенка», где три братца — поросенка, возможные близнецы, одинаковы с морды, но разные по взглядам на жизнь и перспективы, одинаковые по трудовым порывам, но не относящиеся критически к возможным катаклизмам, решили построить свои домики.

Трое поросят: Наф — Наф, Нуф — Нуф и Ниф- Ниф. Эти поросячьи строители применили свои строительные и архитектурные навыки и построили каменный, из веток и прутьев, из соломы.

Четвертый герой волк, обманным путем разрушил соломенный дом и дом из веток, но каменный дом устоял и поросята спрятались в нем, тем самым спаслись от кровожадного голодного хищника.

Наф — Наф умен и сообразителен, просчитал все варианты и остановился на самом крепком строительном варианте, Нуф — Нуф тоже сообразительный, но не рассчитал устойчивость постройки из веток, а Ниф-Ниф — лентяй и торопыжка, построил домик из соломы.

Сказка «Три поросенка» от Сергея Михалкова, это забавная и поучительная история о трех братьях поросятах, которые усиленно готовились к зимней поре.

Сергей Михалков (1913-2009), это русский советский корреспондент, публицист, военный корреспондент, общественный деятель, сценарист. Сергей Михалков, это еще и автор текстов гимнов СССР и РФ.

Теперь поговорим о главных героях сказки:

1 Ниф-Ниф. Самый легкомысленный поросенок из всех троих. Построил дом из соломы.

2 Наф-Наф. Самый умный и рассудительный. Построил дом из камня.

3 Нуф-Нуф. Тоже легкомысленный поросенок. Построил дом из веток.

4 Волк. Отрицательный герой, который хотел съесть поросят.

Как видно, то самым умным поросенком был Наф-Наф. Он построил дом из кирпича, и защитил своих братьев от злого, сероого волка.

В сказке «Три поросенка» главными героями являются три поросенка и Волк.

Ниф-Ниф — решил построить себе домик из соломы, он не сильно вкладывался в этот домик, быстро его сделал и продолжал и дальше себе развлекаться. Легкомысленный, не умеет думать на перед.

Нуф-Нуф — этот поросенок построил себе домик из веток, домик оказался немного прочнее, чем из соломы.

Наф-Наф — самый серьезный и умный, к постройке своего домика отнеся серьезно, начал его строить рано, работал очень усердно и старательно и домик вышел на славу, этот домик выстоял под натиском волка да и братьев своих Наф-Наф спас.

Волк — негативный персонаж, весьма глуповат и самонадеян.

Главными героями этой сказки, разумеется являются три поросенка — Ниф-Ниф, Наф-Наф и Нуф-Нуф. Все они хотели построить себе хорошие дома и в них жить. Главным антагонистом сказки и противником трех поросят, несомненно, является волк.

Ниф-Ниф хотел построить дом из соломы, но его быстро сдул волк. Нуф-Нуф соорудил себе деревянный дом, но он тоже был уничтожен волком.

Один лишь Наф-Наф, построил дом из камня. Его дом волку было снести не под силу.

Сергей Михалков — автор сказки о трех поросятах. Известно, что это беспечные животные, которые осенью не решаются строить домики, только один из всех сознательный. Лето закончилось, пора подумать о зиме. Один из всех поросят говорит, что надо делать укрытие. Еще он говорит, что необходимо прочное жилье, где можно спрятаться от волка. Только братья не слушают, они поют песенку, что никакого серого волка им не страшно.

Михалков "Три поросёнка": кто главные герои? Какова их характеристика?

Главные герои:

  • Ниф-Ниф — самый беспечный из всех братьев, построил соломенный домик, который разлетелся, когда подул три раза
  • Нуф-Нуф — беспечный поросенок, но не такой, как первый брат, его укрытие немного понадежнее: из прутьев, но тоже быстро ломается, волку стоило подуть пять раз
  • Наф-Наф — умный, сообразительный, покладистый, практичный герой сказки Михалкова, построил каменный домик, где можно спокойно жить зимой, не холодно, волк не достанет
  • Волк — злой, сердитый, голодный, охотится за поросятами, бежит за Ниф-Нифом и Нуф-Нуфом, лезеть в трубу каменного домика Наф-Нафа, но падает в кипяток и убегает.

В замечательной сказке Сергея Михалкова «Три поросенка» можно выделить четырех главных героев. Эти три поросенка и волк. Разберем образ каждого героя сказки по отдельности.

  1. Наф-Наф. Самый разумный поросенок, который думал не только о развлечениях, но и своей безопасности. Он решил заранее побеспокоится о своем домике и построил надежный, крепкий дом из камня с дубовой дверью. Это обстоятельный, серьезный поросенок, умный и рассудительный.
  2. Нуф-Нуф. Поросенок конечно легкомысленный и веселый, но в его действиях все-таки проскальзывает забота о будущем. не стал строить самый простой дом, так решил, что в нем зимой будет холодно. Построил дом из веток.
  3. Ниф-Ниф. Самый легкомысленный поросенок, у которого на уме были одни развлечения и игры. Совершенно не думал о будущем и потому построил домик из соломы.
  4. Волк. Назван в песенке хитрым и страшным, но на самом деле был просто злым и голодным. Он конечно прибег к хитрости,когда притворился овечкой, но в остальном полагался только на грубую силу. Поэтому и не смог ничего сделать с поросятами, укрывшимися в домике из камня.

В сказке «Три поросенка», написанной Сергеем Михалковым, всего четыре главных героя, причем три положительных и один — отрицательный. Три героя, которых можно назвать положительными — это розовенькие поросята, похожие внешне друг на друга. Вот только характеры у них были разные.

Ниф-Ниф — это беспечный и нерадивый поросенок, он прогулял все лето и даже осенью не думал о приближающейся зиме. И только с первыми заморозками он соорудил себе легкий соломенный домик, что говорит о том, что Ниф-Ниф был пареньком несерьезным и легкомысленным.

Нуф-Нуф — тоже поросенок ветреный и беззаботный. Он задумался о зимовке поздно, но все-таки домишко себе выстроил чуть-чуть основательнее, чем соломенный домик Нифа. Нуф-Нуф сходил в лес и притащил ветки, из которых сложил дом, и он был уверен, что жилище получилось прочным и надежным.

Наф-Наф — поросенок разумный и предусмотрительный. В отличие от своих братцев, он рано приступил к работе, а в качестве строительного материала использовал камни. Наф старательно возводил свой дом, закрепляя кладку глиной. И дом, действительно, получился на славу! Именно в этом надежном доме все братья-поросята смогли спастись от волка. Нужно сказать, что Наф-Наф был сметливым и находчивым, он сбросил крышку с котла и волк угодил в него.

Волк — отрицательный персонаж, он силен, но глуповат, поэтому поросятам удалось одержать победу. Хищник мечтал съесть поросят, но его план потерпел фиаско, и волк еле-еле ноги унес из домика Наф-Нафа.

Сказка Михалкова «Три поросёнка» думаю многим знакома с самого детства.

В сказке четыре главных героя. Это три поросёнка и один отрицательный герой — волк.

  • поросёнок Ниф-Ниф, который веселился и играл всё лето. Ниф-Ниф не задумывается о будущем, о наступлении холодов. Этого героя можно назвать беспечным и лентвым.
  • поросёнок Нуф-Нуф, как и его брат мало заботится о будущем. Но если он что-то делает, то старается больше чем Ниф-Ниф. Поэтому у Нуф-Нуфа получился более качественный дом, но не достаточно крепкий.
  • третий поросёнок Наф-Наф самый предусмотрительный и ответственный, он не ленивый. Он построил тёплый и крепкий каменный дом, что и спасло поросят от злого, голодного волка.
  • сильный, но глупый Волк.

План пересказа:

  1. В городе начался голод и трое братьев оставляют старого отца одного дома, отправляются в поиски за заработком.
  2. Когда они бродили по лесу, то младший брат подвернул ногу и заблудился. А старшие братья не стали его дожидаться и пошли дальше.
  3. Пришла Фея Кренского озера вылечила младшего брата и подарила ему волшебную дубинку и волшебный мешок.
  4. Младший брат пошел дальше искать своих братьев.
  5. В пути он встречает маленького мальчика и с помощью волшебного мешка и дубины помогает вылечить его отца дровосека, который поломал руку и не может прокормить семью.
  6. В трактире младший брат убивает черта, тем самым вызволяет из его злых чар двух своих братьев.
  7. Пути младшего брата и двух старших разошлись.
  8. Младший брат отправляется к отцу.
  9. Его отец находился при смерти от сильного голода.
  10. Младший брат сделал харчевню и стал раздавать еду нуждающимся с помощью волшебного мешка.
  11. Когда младший брат состарился он решил отдать волшебный мешок и дубину фее, но она не взяла и велела ему их сжечь.

Главные герои сказки: Отец, Три брата, фея Кренского озера, маленький мальчик и черт.

Я думаю такого озера не существует на карте мира, это всего лишь вымысел автора этой сказки.

Царевну из сказки А. С. Пушкина «Сказка о Мертвой царевне и семи богатырях» можно охарактеризовать как красивую, молодую, трудолюбивую, хозяйственную девушку, наивную (она поверила старухе), верную и честную.

Главные герои

Петух. Мальчик забыл раскрасить петуха, и петух ходил нераскрашенный и несчастный. Когда краски его раскрасили, то он стал счастливым.

Собака. Друг петуха. Ей можно дать характеристику, что она честная, прямолинейная, прямо указала на недостатки петуха.

Краски. Можно сказать, что они добрые, очень ответственные, и вообще мастера своего дела. Ведь именно они раскрасили петуха, сделав его очень счастливым.

Семь братьев-богатырей в сказке Пушкина обладают такими личностными качествами, как:

  • гостеприимность (богатыри были рады тому, что их посетил гость, пусть даже без спроса);
  • уважение к чужому труду (братья нарекли царевну «сестрицей», отдавая ей дань за то, что она сделала для них);
  • дружность (они всегда держались вместе, бок о бок);
  • бесконфликтность (богатыри не стали спорить или бороться друг с другом, чтобы выяснить, кому должна достаться царевна, а пришли спрашивать об этом ее. Тут же можно отметить следующее качество — уважение к женщине);
  • смиренность (братья достойно восприняли информацию о том, что у царевны уже есть жених, поэтому никто их них не станет ее мужем);
  • чуткость (так, они сразу поняли, что собака не просто забавляется, а хочет донести до богатырей важную информацию);
  • способность любить (богатыри очень любили царевну и с горечью пережили ее погибель).

Прекрасная русская народная сказка «Сестрица Алёнушка и братец Иванушка» предельно компактна. Она не заставит ребёнка заскучать над книгой, сюжет и стремительно развивающиеся события просто не успеют надоесть. Тем более, что сказка очень интересна.

Главных героев «Сестрицы и братца…» зовут так:

Алёнушка. Дочка Старика и Старухи. Родная сестра Иванушки. По всей видимости — старшая. Прочие сказочные персонажи называют её красной девицей.

Иванушка. Брат Алёнушки. Как предполагается по особенностям сюжета — младший.

Старик и Старуха. Будучи в возрасте, умерли.

_

сестрица Алёнушка и братец Иванушка картинки

Купец. Сделал Алёнушке неожиданное предложение у стожка. Алёнушка, поразмыслив, приняла его.

Слуга купца. Помог раскрыть ведьмины козни.

Ведьма. Будучи классически жестокой, утопила Алёнушку, а сама приняла её внешность. Копия была настолько точна, что этой подлости не распознал даже супруг Алёнушки. Через некоторое время пожелала зарезать козлёночка-Иванушку. Когда была изобличена, была привязана к хвосту лошади и пущена по полю.

_

Главная мысль сказки об Алёнушке с Иванушкой в том, что правда (как оплот справедливости) в результате обязательно восторжествуют, как бы долго ни велась хитрая верёвочка.

The Three Little Pigs

«The Three Little Pigs» is a fable about three pigs who build three houses of different materials. A Big Bad Wolf blows down the first two pigs’ houses which made of straw and sticks respectively, but is unable to destroy the third pig’s house that made of bricks. The printed versions of this fable date back to the 1840s, but the story is thought to be much older. The earliest version takes place in Dartmoor with three pixies and a fox before its best known version appears in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs in 1890, with Jacobs crediting James Halliwell-Phillipps as the source.

The phrases used in the story, and the various morals drawn from it, have become embedded in Western culture. Many versions of The Three Little Pigs have been recreated and modified over the years, sometimes making the wolf a kind character. It is a type B124[1] folktale in the Thompson Motif Index.

Traditional versions[edit]

«The Three Little Pigs» was included in The Nursery Rhymes of England (London and New York, c.1886), by James Halliwell-Phillipps.[2] The story in its arguably best-known form appeared in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs, first published on June 19, 1890, and crediting Halliwell as his source.[3] The earliest published version of the story is from Dartmoor, Devon, England in 1853, and has three little pixies and a fox in place of the three pigs and a wolf. The first pixy had a wooden house:

«Let me in, let me in», said the fox.
”I won’t”, was the pixy’s answer; ”and the door is fastened.”[4]

Illustration from J. Jacobs, English Fairy Tales (New York, 1895)

The story begins with the title characters being sent out into the world by their mother, to «seek out their fortune». The first little pig builds a house of straw, but a wolf blows it down and devours him. The second little pig builds a house of sticks, which the wolf also blows down, though with more blows and the second little pig is also devoured. Each exchange between wolf and pig features ringing proverbial phrases, namely:

«Little pig, little pig, let me come in.»
«No, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.»
«Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in.»[5]

The third little pig builds a house of bricks, which the wolf fails to blow down. He then attempts to trick the pig out of the house by asking to meet him at several places at specific times, but he is outwitted each time since the pig gets to those places earlier than the wolf. Finally, the infuriated wolf resolves to come down the chimney, whereupon the pig who owns the brick house lights a pot of water on the fireplace. The wolf falls in and is fatally boiled, avenging the death of the final pig’s brothers. After cooking the wolf, the pig proceeds to eat the meat for dinner.

Other versions[edit]

In some versions, the first and second little pigs are not eaten by the wolf after he demolishes their homes but instead runs to their brother’s/sister’s house, who originally had to take care of the two other pigs and build a brick house in a few versions. Most of these versions omit any attempts by the wolf to meet the third pig out of the house after his failed attempt to blow the house in. After the wolf goes down the chimney he either dies like in the original, runs away and never returns to eat the three little pigs or in some versions the wolf faints after trying to blow down the brick house and all three of the pigs survive in either case.

The story uses the literary rule of three, expressed in this case as a «contrasting three», as the third pig’s brick house turns out to be the only one which is adequate to withstand the wolf.[6]
Variations of the tale appeared in Uncle Remus: His Songs and Sayings in 1881. The story also made an appearance in Nights with Uncle Remus in 1883, both by Joel Chandler Harris, in which the pigs were replaced by Brer Rabbit. Andrew Lang included it in The Green Fairy Book, published in 1892, but did not cite his source. In contrast to Jacobs’s version, which left the pigs nameless, Lang’s retelling cast the pigs as Browny, Whitey, and Blacky. It also set itself apart by exploring each pig’s character and detailing the interaction between them. The antagonist of this version is a fox, not a wolf. The pigs’ houses are made either of mud, cabbage, or brick. Blacky, the third pig, rescues his brother and sister from the fox’s den after the fox has been defeated.

Later adaptations[edit]

Folk tale

Aarne–Thompson grouping 124
Country England

«The Three Little Pigs» is a fable about three pigs who build three houses of different materials. A Big Bad Wolf blows down the first two pigs’ houses which made of straw and sticks respectively, but is unable to destroy the third pig’s house that made of bricks. The printed versions of this fable date back to the 1840s, but the story is thought to be much older. The earliest version takes place in Dartmoor with three pixies and a fox before its best known version appears in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs in 1890, with Jacobs crediting James Halliwell-Phillipps as the source.

The phrases used in the story, and the various morals drawn from it, have become embedded in Western culture. Many versions of The Three Little Pigs have been recreated and modified over the years, sometimes making the wolf a kind character. It is a type B124[1] folktale in the Thompson Motif Index.

The first pixy had a wooden house:

«Let me in, let me in», said the fox.
”I won’t”, was the pixy’s answer; ”and the door is fastened.”[4]
