Tracing back to the history of foreign children's literature, it is not uncommon for masters of language arts to write stories or works on children's life themes since19th century. However, there are very few people who first create works for children. The Russian lev tolstoy (1828- 19 10) is one of these few people.
Lev tolstoy wrote stories, essays, fables and fairy tales for children, not on a whim, but because he was indignant that peasant children under serfdom had lost the opportunity to learn. He thought there were many moral advantages and talents in them, so he wrote 496 works for children from the perspective of charitable education during the period of 1859- 1876.
Most of these works are life stories and animal stories, while fairy tales and fables are mainly collected and rewritten. The composition of Three Bears is relatively large, and all anthologists regard it as his masterpiece of fairy tales. Because it was selected as a primary school text, it spread widely. In the Russian original, father bear (tall) said all the words in large letters, mother bear (slightly smaller) said the words in medium letters and little bear (bear doll) said the words in small letters. This kind of treatment has special interest and special effect on children's reading.
"Three Bears" shows the love and consideration of bear parents from three angles: the porridge in a small bowl is the best, the small chair has a blue cushion, and the comfortable cot sleeps best; It actually expresses a kind of maternal love in the form of fairy tales. But the writer expressed this feeling artistically-not directly, but through the silent understanding and communication between the little girl and the bear: the little girl only ate the bear's porridge, shook the bear's little chair and slept in the bear's bed. "Small" is always loved; "Small" and "small" are always particularly easy to communicate, whether in the animal world or the human world. This great fairy tale masterpiece dedicated to children by the great writer shows that there is beauty in "small" and poetry in "small", and songs that love "small" can be sung in many styles and angles; There are endless songs in maternal love.

Three bears
A little girl left home for the forest. She lost her way in the forest, but she couldn't find her way home for a long time, but she ran into a small house in the forest.
The door of the house is open. The little girl looked into the door, but there was no one inside, so she went in. There are three bears in the house. Papa bear, Mikhail, is tall and hairy. Mother Bear is a little younger, and her name is Nasta Xia. The third one is just a bear doll named Mishuka. None of the three bears are at home. They went for a walk in the Woods.
There are two rooms in the small house, one is the dining room and the other is the bedroom. The little girl walked into the dining room and saw three bowls of porridge on the table. The first bowl is very big and belongs to Mikhail; The second bowl is smaller and belongs to Nastasha. The third small blue bowl belongs to Mishuka. There are spoons beside the bowl: a big one, a medium one and a small one.
The little girl picked up the biggest spoon and tasted the porridge in the big bowl. Pick up the middle spoon and taste the porridge in the middle bowl; Then I picked up a small spoon and tasted the porridge in the small blue bowl. He thinks Mishuka's porridge is the best.
The little girl wants to sit down and have a rest. She saw three chairs beside the table: the first chair was very big and belonged to Mikhail; The second chair is smaller and belongs to Nasta Summer. The third chair is very small and has a blue cushion. It belongs to Mishuka. The little girl climbed into the big chair and fell down; She sat in the middle chair and felt uncomfortable; Finally, she sat in a small chair and smiled happily. How comfortable this chair is! She picked up a small bowl of blue porridge and put it on her lap to eat. She ate up the porridge, sat down in a chair and shook it comfortably, shaking more and more.
The little chair was broken and the little girl fell to the floor. She stood up, lifted the small chair and went into the second room. There are three beds in the room: the first is a big bed, which belongs to Mikhail, the second is a middle bed, which belongs to Nasta Xia, and the third is a small bed, which belongs to Mishuka.
The little girl lay on the big bed and felt too big; Lying in the middle of the bed, I feel too tall; Lying in a crib is like that. The little girl is asleep.
When three bears came home, they were hungry and wanted to have lunch. Bear picked up his bowl, coarse voice shouted:
"Who ate the porridge in my bowl?"
Nastasha looked at his bowl and shouted, but not so loud:
"Who ate the porridge in my bowl?"
Mishuka saw that his bowl was empty and screamed:
"Who ate all the porridge in my bowl?"
Mikhail looked at his chair and shouted horribly:
"Who sat in my chair and moved it?"
Nasta chardonnay look at his chair, also cried, but the voice is not so big:
"Who sat in my chair and moved it?"
Mishuka looked at his broken chair and screamed:
"Who sat in my chair and broke it?"
Three bears walked into the second room.
Mikhail shouted:
"Who slept in my bed and wrinkled the bedding?"
Nastasha also cried:
But not too loudly:
"Who slept in my bed and wrinkled the bedding?"
Mishuka moved to a small bench, climbed into his bed and screamed:
"Who slept in my bed?"
It suddenly saw the little girl, as if she had been stung by something, and screamed:
"It's her! Get her! That's her! That's her! Alas ... Ah! Catch her! "
The bear is going to bite her. The little girl opened her eyes, saw three bears and rushed to the window. The window was open, so she jumped out of it and flew away.
The bear failed to catch up with her.
