One day, in the reeds, a fox came across a hungry tiger. The tiger growled - the fox froze with fear. I thought: “My last hour, if I don’t deceive the striped one.” But what to do? The tiger is about to jump! Then the fox pretended to be shaking not from fear, but from laughter:
“Ha ha ha!” The surprised tiger sat down, not understanding anything, and asked:
-What are you laughing at?
- Above you, unfortunate one! - answered the fox, bursting into feigned laughter.
- What? Above me? - the tiger growled.
- Certainly! - said the fox. “You, poor thing, think that you’re going to eat me now, but I can’t stop laughing.” Ha-ha-ha!.. After all, no one is afraid of you anymore! But everyone is afraid of me, even people!
The tiger thought: “What if it’s true? Then it’s dangerous to touch the fox!” But I still doubted...
“I see you don’t believe it,” said the fox. - Come after me. If people are not afraid of me, then you can eat me and my tail.
The tiger agreed and they set off. They began to approach the road along which the peasants were returning from the city.
- Don't lag behind! - the fox shouted and ran forward. The tiger follows her with huge leaps. People saw a terrible tiger rushing towards the road! They screamed, dropped everything and started running.
Then the fox leaned out of the tall grass, where she was completely out of sight, and shouted to the tiger:
- Well, did you see it? One tip of my tail put them to flight! And no one even looked at you!
Stupid tiger He lowered his muzzle in shame and sadly trudged back into his reeds.
Now the fox was laughing for real!

The new product from Rech is no longer new, but only now, after a couple of years, has it reached our shelf. Judging by the blurry watercolor cover, it is still unclear what kind of emotional experience awaits the reader ahead. But one cannot expect pop plots from Tibetan fairy tales.

I'm not a fan of the artists G.A.V. Traugott (not quite “mine”), but still did not remain indifferent. Even Furthermore- she spluttered like a girl. Such Tibetan tales, and even flavored with such subtle, sensual illustrations, anyone will be “torn apart like a hamster” and a little sentimental baby will be taken out. Who feels sorry for the pussy, and it’s clear that it’s her own fault.




Stupid Tiger is a fiercely heartfelt story. There is a young tiger, and there is his wise father. The old tiger tells the young one a big secret, born life experience: The most terrible creature in the world is man. You should beware of him, you can't trust him...




But the young tiger would not be a tiger or young if he took his word for it. From time to time he tried to find that same terrible and creepy person. Are his claws tenacious or his teeth sharp?





But no, man has neither claws nor fangs. It is not famous for its heroic strength or feline agility. And he’s not as tall as a mountain or as tall as a tree. And the little man’s skin is soft and pliable... just right for a tiger. So why is man so terrible? Was the father deceived?




The tiger finally found a man and was about to eat the poor fellow, but the victim easily outwitted him. The father, the wise old tiger, was right. You cannot defeat the cunning and smart by force. The tiger song ended in tears - he was locked in the house and shot with a gun. Sad. But honestly. I feel sorry for the tiger. He is stupid, young and ambitious. Unafraid badass. But he should listen to the elder and wiser and not trust his strength so much - there is always someone smarter.






The tale is short and simple, it does not contain the twist of Russian folk tales (“a needle in an egg, an egg in a duck”). This a parable that is instructive and thought-provoking.


One day, in the reeds, a fox came across a hungry tiger. The tiger growled - the fox froze with fear. I thought: “My last hour has come, if I don’t deceive the striped one.” But what to do? The tiger is about to jump! Then the fox pretended to be shaking not from fear, but from laughter:

"Ha ha ha!" The surprised tiger sat down, not understanding anything, and asked:

What are you laughing at?

Above you, unfortunate one! - answered the fox, bursting into feigned laughter.

What? Above me? - the tiger growled.

Certainly! - said the fox. “You, poor thing, think that you’re going to eat me now, but I can’t help laughing.” Ha-ha-ha!.. After all, no one is afraid of you anymore! But everyone is afraid of me, even people!

The tiger thought: “What if it’s true? Then it’s dangerous to touch the fox!” But I still doubted...

“I see you don’t believe it,” said the fox. - Come after me. If people are not afraid of me, then you can eat me and my tail.

The tiger agreed and they set off. They began to approach the road along which the peasants were returning from the city.

Don't fall behind! - the fox shouted and ran forward. The tiger follows her with huge leaps. People saw a terrible tiger rushing towards the road! They screamed, dropped everything and started running.

Then the fox leaned out of the tall grass, where she was completely out of sight, and shouted to the tiger:

Well, did you see it? One tip of my tail put them to flight! And no one even looked at you!

The stupid tiger lowered its muzzle in shame and sadly trudged back into its reeds.

Now the fox was laughing for real!

Tiger and donkey

They say that in time immemorial one merchant returning from long journeys, bought a donkey - the fattest and stupidest. He loaded him into a boat and brought him home. Here he was released into the wild to graze.

Soon the donkey was seen by a tiger. I thought, told fortunes and decided: “This big fat beast is probably a dragon. His ears are very long!” He hid in the forest and began to slowly peek. Suddenly the donkey raised his head and screamed. There was a terrible roar. The tiger got scared and ran away: he thought that the donkey would eat him. He sat in the bushes for a long time, trembling with fear. Then he looked out: a donkey was walking through the meadow, nibbling grass. The tiger perked up and crawled closer. Nothing happened! Then he went out into the clearing and meowed quietly. The donkey became furious: he flapped his ears and screamed.

“Eh, you must be stupid if you get angry over a trifle!” - thought the tiger and meowed again.

In terrible anger, the donkey began to kick.

“Oh,” exclaimed the tiger, “you’re not much use!” Just stupidity and stubbornness. He jumped on the donkey and killed it.

And to this day, donkeys get angry in vain, and when you start to reason with them, they kick. Donkeys are recognized by this sign.

Tiger and buffalo

It is said that the tiger and the buffalo used to be great friends. They lived next door and loved each other very much. The buffalo praised the tiger to everyone, and he more than once invited the buffalo to walk with him and have fun. During these walks, the tiger always sat on the buffalo's back, and the buffalo was very proud of this.

One day, friends went for a walk and met a herd of cows. Seeing the buffalo and the tiger, the cows asked:

Why are you together?

We are friends! - answered the buffalo.

You guys don't really fit together! - said the cows.

But the tiger and buffalo no longer heard this, as they rushed forward. Soon they reached a herd of horses.

Why are you walking together?” the horses asked when they saw them.

Yes, we are friends! - the buffalo answered for both of them again.

Strange friendship, we don’t like it! - the horses shouted to them, but the tiger and buffalo, not listening to them, ran even faster.

Then they met a flock of sheep. Looking at them, the sheep asked:

What are you two doing?

The buffalo already knew that they would also say: “You are not suitable for each other!” or “We don’t like this kind of friendship!” So he immediately shouted:

He and I are friends, but what does it matter to you?

And, without waiting for an answer, he rushed past. Soon after this, the tiger and buffalo moved to different places: The tiger moved to the mountains, and the buffalo began to live on the river bank. And they stopped dating.

But one day the buffalo wanted to see the tiger, and at that time the tiger decided to visit the buffalo. And both, without saying a word, set off on their journey.

Each of them passed seven days and seven nights without rest. On the eighth day in the morning they met, and both were very surprised. Old friends started talking.

Brother, where are you going? - asked the tiger.

I'm coming to see you, brother! - answered the buffalo. - Where are you going?

And I'm coming to visit you! - said the tiger. They chose a place by the road, sat down to rest, and chatted about this and that. Suddenly the tiger says:

Brother, I walked for seven days and seven nights, didn’t eat anything, my stomach was empty. Come on brother, I'll eat you! And the buffalo answered him:

Dear brother, I also spent seven days and seven nights on the road, I’m also terribly hungry, but what can I do? Let's better go home, and let everyone look for something for lunch.

But the tiger insists:

Let me, brother, eat you!

We are friends! - the buffalo is surprised. - How can you eat me?!

And the tiger was already salivating from hunger:

Brother, let me ask you for the third time! You are my older brother, so you have to feed me! If you let me, I’ll eat you, if you don’t let me, I’ll eat you anyway!

Well, since you’re so hungry, I agree,” the buffalo calmly answered. “But first you must fight me!” If you win, you can eat me, if you lose, there is nothing to do: you will remain hungry! Agree?

Hearing this, the tiger became very happy. He considered himself the king of beasts, but how could anyone overcome the king?!

And both began to prepare for the fight. They prepared for seven days. The tiger went to the mountains, collected more vines and wrapped them around his body. And the buffalo went to the field and climbed into a hole with liquid clay. He lay there, rolled around, and then got out and began to bask in the sun. When the clay dried, the buffalo lay down in the hole again. He did this until he was covered with a clay crust in several layers.

On the eighth day, the tiger and buffalo met at the appointed place.

Well, brother, who will attack first - you or me? - asked the buffalo.

Of course it's me! - answered the tiger.

Fine! First you bite me three times, and then I will butt you three times!

The tiger got ready, opened his mouth and bit the buffalo with all his strength. But he didn’t even feel anything: after all, the tiger only bit off a piece of clay. The tiger bit the buffalo a second time - and again only a lump of dry clay fell off. The third time the tiger rushed at the buffalo - and the third time clay fell from the sides of the buffalo, but he himself remained safe and sound.

It was the buffalo's turn. He hit the tiger with his long horn - the vines on the tiger burst. He hit it a second time - all the vines fell to the ground. He hit him a third time and blew out his guts. Here the tiger died.

And the buffalo looked at him and said:

I now understand that you need to choose your friends carefully! From now on, I will order my children and grandchildren to be friends with tigers!

Since then, the buffalo and the tiger have been enemies. If a buffalo sees a tiger, it butts it with its horns; and if a tiger notices a buffalo, it avoids it, afraid to bite!
