Name of Tale

      Once upon a time, there was a forest nestled among the mountains. In this forest, there were tall trees with lush green leaves. Many animals lived in this forest. One day, hunters arrived in the forest. A little sparrow noticed the hunters entering the forest. The sparrow quickly went to Wise Oak Tree. Wise Oak Tree realized that the hunters had come. It called for the squirrels to warn the animals in the forest.

         The Magic Mountain

Once upon a time a magic mountain where a lot of strange things happened. Many animals lived on the mountain such as: deer, brown bears, black goats and mountain  grouse.

  On the high ridges grew the cornflower, protected by law, variegated tulipes and mountain peony.

A tall old tree had a secret entrance. There, the nimals talked to the plants. Since then there is harmony and peace between plants and nimals.

The Talking Trees

 Once the trees argued. They said: I am better than you. Oak boasted: My roots are deep in the ground. My branches can touch the sky and the storm can't disturb me. The apple tree called out from the garden: My brother, you are boasting in vain, because only pigs eat your fruit, but my fruit graces the king's table. The Christmas tree said to both of them: You lose your leaves in winter, when I am covered with thorny pinecones. Besides, the peasants can light the stove with my cones and warm their house.

                                 Talking of Trees

 One day a squirrel, that was walking in search of acorns, ask them: - Why do you trees quarrel? You are all beautiful and majestic and your fruits are good and useful for us forest animals and for humans. And then you are all important because you give us oxygen and make the world more beautiful!

In the end, the trees understood and made peace.

        ARROGANT  OAK  SEEDLING

    Once upon a time, there was a young oak sapling deep in the forest. However, this sapling was different from other saplings; He was selfish and arrogant. The oak sapling grew in the best part of the land and began to consider itself superior to other saplings.

       All day long, the oak constantly boasted of its size, beauty and abilities, while belittling other saplings.

      One day, clouds covered the sky and a very violent storm broke out...

    The heavy rain threw on the ground all its beautiful leaves and acorns, and a great lightning struck the tree and cut off half its branches. 

    Then the oak tree was sad and realized that it should not treat the other trees badly. She apologized to the other trees because she realized her mistake and that all trees are beautiful. 

    Over time she became beautiful again but she never misbehaved again.

                                   Magic tree

Once upon a time in a distant forest stood a     different tree. The secret of this tree was known only  by one girl, who lay with it, played with it and talked with it.                       There secret was that if you closed your eyes, wherever you longed to be you would be born there. One day the girl greeted the tree and said:

-My friend, I have one request. Can you travel to England for a while? I want to learn English better.

- I’ll do anything for my beloved friend. Only you are with me and talk to me. That’s why I’ll always help you.

-Thank you –said the girl and hugged the tree. Whether she closed her eyes or not, the tree silently uttered a word and the girl found herself in a dreamy place and traveled in a fairy tale.

Then, magically, the girl traveled to the land of candies  in England. There were candy-shaped trees and there she  met her close friend, the tree, which had a marshmellow-shaped trunk and lollipop-shaped branches. 

    The girl approached the magic tree and it told her that if she eats the first lollipop that falls from its cauldron, she will speak English perfectly.     

    The girl greedily ate the first lollipop that fell from the tree and began to speak the language fluently.Both friends decided to explore this beautiful country. After completing the exploration they returned back to their country....ready  their next journey.

THE LEGEND OF PISTACCHIO.

Once upon a time  a hazelnut tree. The hazelnuts were very friendly with the leaves and always played together.  One day a storm arrived and the leaves hugged the hazelnuts so as not to fly away. 

    Then the peanut tree wondered how the squirrels will understand that these green nuts are peanuts. So what she thought was to ask the fairy to turn the peanuts brown again. The fairy agreed but realized that the magic dust had disappeared due to the storm.

    Then they all decided to ask for the help of the chief wizard, who accepted, in exchange for a bag of peanuts. The peanut tree accepted and everything came back to its original state magically!

BIRCH AND OAK

Once upon a time, there lived on the edge of the forest a birch and an oak. A storm came. A strong wind blew and tousled their hair. The morning sun dried them. Birch combed her hair in the morning and found that two branches had broken. She was very sad. Her friend Oak, who is strong and brave, comforted her. He told her that by the end of the summer, new branches would have grown for her. Birch was very happy about this and all summer long she observed how her new branch was growing. When autumn came, their hairstyles turned into a beautiful yellow and brown color. The friends adorned the edge of the forest and looked forward to winter, when they would rest a little.

THE ENCHANTED FOREST

A long time ago there was an enchanted forest. It was behind the nine mountains and nine rivers. In the forest there lived fairies, dwarfs and a lot of different animals.

One day the dwarfs decided to nag the fairies and animals. Dwarfs were hiding under the trees and scaring the animals. They were taking necklaces, magic wands and magic dust from fairies. They were climbing on trees and shouting. They were stealing the food…

The trees were looking at dwarfs and one day they decided to end this.

         Everyone gathered to plan how to deal with the dwarves' behavior. They decided to hide in a cave all the fruits of the trees and the magical tools of the fairies. They also thought of locking everyone in the cave so that the dwarves would understand that if they continued to misbehave they would be left alone and have no friends. 

    So indeed they hid for a few days and the dwarves were alone in the whole forest. At first they were happy and had a good time but as the days went by they realized that it is not nice not to have friends. So they apologized to the animals and the fairies and changed their behavior from then on.
