At night, the bride's brother came to him and said that she, having learned about the fate of the hare, was so upset that she was dying. The future relative began to persuade the hare to run away, but he replied that he could not disobey the wolf.

But, seeing that the hare had returned, the wolf said approvingly that hares know how to keep their word. However, after these words, he ordered both hares to sit under a bush and wait for him to have mercy on them. That's how it is summary fairy tales

Trying to negotiate with a predator is not the best idea. The hare should have run away from the wolf when there was such an opportunity, but he could not overcome his fear of the predator and relied on his goodwill. He told his bride that perhaps the wolf would have mercy on him, but this did not happen. The fairy tale teaches you to objectively assess the degree of danger and promptly take action. right decisions. The fairy tale teaches that you need to be able to properly build relationships with a person who is stronger than you.
What proverbs fit the fairy tale “The Selfless Hare”?
The wolf's teeth feed, and the hare's legs carry.
You can’t be faster than a hare, but even that one gets caught.
A talented publicist, satirist, artist, Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin, in his works, tried to direct the attention of Russian society to the main problems of his time. Mikhail Evgrafovich describes in an allegorical form social types Russia, its political mores. The writer, who occupied in his professional life high government positions, dreaming of the prosperity of the Fatherland, most of all hated rigidity, lawlessness, tyranny of the authorities and slavish obedience of the people.
The fairy tale “The Selfless Hare” is a satire on “the country of slaves, the country of masters.” The image of a hare is an allegory. It's not hard to understand that we're talking about about a man. With sarcasm, Saltykov-Shchedrin describes the fears, dreams, hopes and experiences of the hare. It turns out that a hare can love. He knows how to be faithful and honest. It turns out that both the hare and his bride know what happiness is? They know how to rejoice in such a way that “this cannot be said in a fairy tale or described with a pen.”
One problem - the hare is captured by the wolf. The wolf is a tyrant, tormentor and executioner. He mocks the hare and does not allow him to live freely. The image of a wolf is personification Russian authorities: officials, landowners.
Through the irony and sarcasm one can hear the bitter reproach of the author and the hares - the people and the wolves - the authorities: how can you live like this? Is this life? After all, life is God's gift, value! The meaning of life is happiness, joy. You can't live in slavery! Slavery is destructive for both the slave and the master.
Let's listen to the title of the fairy tale, even the title of the fairy tale - a combination of incompatible disharmony, an oxymoron. A slave, a coward, cannot be selfless; he has no self-esteem.
So, the satirical meaning of the fairy tale “The Selfless Hare” is in a truthful depiction of the relationship between the people and the authorities. In folk and literary fairy tale good always defeats evil, in the Saltykov-Shchedrin fairy tale this is impossible, therefore it, the fairy tale, is sarcastic and ironic.

The Selfless Hare Read the Tale of Saltykov-Shchedrin
One day the hare did something wrong to the wolf. He was running, you see, not far from the wolf’s den, and the wolf saw him and shouted: “Bunny! Stop, dear!” But the hare not only did not stop, but even accelerated his pace. So the wolf caught him in three leaps, and said: “Because you didn’t stop at my first word, here’s my decision for you: I sentence you to deprivation of your belly by being torn to pieces. And since now I’m full, and my wolf If you’re full, and we have enough reserves for another five days, then sit under this bush and wait in line. Or maybe... ha ha... I’ll have mercy on you!”
The hare sits on its hind legs under a bush and does not move. He thinks about only one thing: “In so many days and hours, death must come.” He will look in the direction where he is wolf's den, and from there a glowing wolf's eye looks at him. And another time it’s even worse: a wolf and a she-wolf will come out and start walking past him in the clearing. They will look at him, and the wolf will say something to the wolf in a wolfish way, and both will burst into tears: “Ha-ha!” And the wolf cubs will immediately follow them; playfully, they will run up to him, caress him, chatter their teeth... And his, the hare’s, heart will just skip a beat!
He had never loved life as much as he did now. He was a thoughtful hare, he looked for a daughter from a widow, a hare, and wanted to get married. It was to her, to his bride, that he ran at that moment when the wolf grabbed him by the collar. Waiting for tea, his now fiancée, thinking: “He cheated on me with his scythe!” Or maybe she waited and waited, and with someone else... she fell in love... Or maybe it was like this: she was playing, poor thing, in the bushes, and then a wolf... and gobbled her up!...
The poor guy thinks this and chokes on his tears. Here they are, a hare's dreams! He planned to get married, bought a samovar, dreamed of drinking tea and sugar with a young hare, and instead of everything - where did he end up! How many, I mean, hours are left until death?
And so he sits one night and dozes. He dreams that he has a wolf with him as an official special assignments He did it, and while he was running around auditing, he went to visit his hare... Suddenly he heard as if someone had pushed him in the side. He looks around and it’s his fiancée’s brother.
“Your bride is dying,” he says. “I heard what trouble had befallen you, and suddenly withered away.” Now he only thinks about one thing: “Am I really going to die without saying goodbye to my beloved!”
The condemned man listened to these words, and his heart was torn to pieces. For what? what did he do to deserve his bitter fate? He lived openly, did not start revolutions, did not go out with weapons in his hands, ran according to his needs - is this really death for this? Death! Think about it, what a word! And it’s not just death for him, but for her too, the little gray bunny, whose only fault is that she loved him, the crooked one, with all her heart! So he would fly to her, take her, a little gray bunny, by the ears with his front paws, and would still be kind to her and stroke her head.
Let's run! - the messenger was saying meanwhile. Hearing this word, the condemned man seemed to be transformed for a moment. He completely gathered himself into a ball and laid his ears on his back. Just about to hide - and the trace is gone. He shouldn’t have looked at the wolf’s den at that moment, but he did. And the hare's heart began to sink.
“I can’t,” he says, “the wolf didn’t tell me.”
Meanwhile, the wolf sees and hears everything, and quietly whispers with the wolf like a wolf: the hare must be praised for his nobility.
Let's run! - the messenger says again.
I can't! - repeats the condemned man,
What are you whispering and plotting there? - how a wolf suddenly barks.
Both hares died. The messenger has also been caught! Convincing the guards to escape - what, I mean, is the penalty for this according to the rules? Oh, to be a gray bunny without a groom and without a brother - the wolf and the wolf will eat both of them!
The oblique ones came to their senses - and in front of them both the wolf and the she-wolf were chattering their teeth, and both had wide eyes. night darkness, like lanterns, they glow.
We, your honor, nothing... so, between ourselves... a fellow countryman came to visit me! - the condemned man babbles, and he himself dies of fear.
That's "nothing"! I know you! Don't put your finger in your mouth either! Tell me, what's the matter?
“So and so, your honor,” the fiancée’s brother interceded here, “my sister, and his fiancée is dying, so she asks, is it possible to let him say goodbye to her?”
Hm... it’s good that the bride loves the groom,” says the wolf. - This means that they will have a lot of hares, and there will be more food for the wolves. The wolf and I love each other, and we have a lot of wolf cubs. How many of them go by their own free will, and four of them still live with us. Wolf, oh wolf! to let the groom go and say goodbye to the bride?
But it’s scheduled for the day after tomorrow...
I, your honor, will come running... I’ll turn around in an instant... I have this... that’s how holy I’ll come running! - the condemned man hurried, and so that the wolf had no doubt that he could turn around in an instant, he suddenly pretended to be such a fine fellow that the wolf himself fell in love with him and thought: “If only I had soldiers like that!”
And the wolf became sad and said:
Here you go! the hare loves his hare so much!
There is nothing to be done, the wolf agreed to let the oblique go on leave, but so that he would turn around just in time. And his fiancée kept his brother as an amanat.
“If you don’t come back in two days by six o’clock in the morning,” he said, “I’ll eat it instead of you; and if you come back, I’ll eat them both, and maybe... ha-ha... and have mercy!
The scythe shot out like an arrow from a bow. He runs, the earth trembles. If he encounters a mountain on the way, he will take it with a bang; the river - he doesn’t even look for a ford, he just swims and scratches; swamp - he jumps from the fifth bump to the tenth. Is it a joke? I need to get to the distant kingdom in time, go to the bathhouse, get married (“I’ll definitely get married!” he repeated to himself every minute), and back so that he can get to the wolf for breakfast...
Even the birds were surprised at his speed - they said: “In the Moskovskie Vedomosti they write that hares have not a soul, but steam - and look how... he runs away!”
Finally came running. How much joy there was here - this cannot be said in a fairy tale, nor can it be described with a pen. The little gray bunny, as soon as she saw her beloved, forgot about the illness. She stood on her hind legs, put a drum on herself, and, well, beat out the “cavalry trot” with her paws - she prepared a surprise for the groom! And the hare widow just got involved completely: she doesn’t know where to seat her betrothed son-in-law, what to feed her. Aunts came running from all sides, godmothers, and sisters - everyone was flattered to look at the groom, and maybe even taste a tasty morsel at a party.
One groom seems to be out of his mind. Before he had time to make amends with the bride, he already stated:
I wish I could go to the bathhouse and get married as soon as possible!
What pain was needed in a hurry? - the mother hare makes fun of him.
We need to run back. The wolf let go only for one day.
He told here how and what. He talks, and he bursts into bitter tears. And he doesn’t want to go back, and he can’t help but go back. You see, he gave his word, but the hare is master of his word. The aunts and sisters judged here - and they unanimously said: “You said the truth, scythe: if you don’t give a word, be strong, and if you give, hold on! Never in our entire hare family has it happened that hares deceive!”
Soon the fairy tale will be told, and the matter between the hares will be done even faster. By morning the oblique man had been wounded, and before evening he was saying goodbye to his young wife.
The wolf will certainly eat me,” he said, “so be faithful to me.” And if you have children, then raise them strictly. The best thing is to send them to the circus: there they will not only be taught how to beat a drum, but also how to shoot peas into a cannon,
And suddenly, as if in oblivion (again, therefore, he remembered about the wolf), he added:
Or maybe the wolf... ha ha... will have mercy on me!
They only saw him.
Meanwhile, while he was chewing with his scythe and celebrating the wedding, in the space that separated the distant kingdom from the wolf’s lair, great troubles happened. In one place the rains poured, so that the river, which in a day used to be a hare Jokingly swam across, it swelled and spilled over ten miles. In another place, King Andron declared war on King Nikita, and on the very hare’s path the battle was in full swing. In the third place, cholera appeared - it was necessary to go around the whole quarantine chain for a hundred miles... And besides, wolves, foxes, owls - they were guarding at every step.
He was smart with a scythe; He had calculated in advance that he would have three hours left, but as obstacles came one after another, his heart grew cold. He runs in the evening, runs at midnight; His legs are cut by stones, his fur hangs in tufts on his sides from the thorny branches, his eyes are clouded, bloody foam is oozing from his mouth, and he still has a long way to go! And yet his friend Amanat seems to him as if alive. Now he stands guard by the wolf and thinks: “In so many hours, my dear son-in-law will come running to the rescue!” He will remember this and let it go even more violently. Neither mountains, nor valleys, nor forests, nor swamps - he doesn’t care about everything! How many times did his heart want to burst, so he took power over his heart so that his fruitless worries would main goal were not distracted. There is no time for grief now, no time for tears; let all feelings be silent, just to snatch a friend from the wolf’s mouth!
Now the day has begun to study. Owls, owls, bats pulled in for the night; there was a chill in the air. And suddenly everything around became quiet, as if dead. And the scythe keeps running and keeps thinking: “Can’t I really help my friend out!”
The east turned red; first on distant horizon Fire splashed lightly onto the clouds, then more and more, and suddenly - flames! The dew on the grass caught fire; the birds of the day woke up, ants, worms, and boogers crawled; there was smoke coming from somewhere; in the rye and oats it was as if a whisper was going on, more audibly, more audibly... But the scythe does not see anything, does not hear, only one thing repeats: “I have destroyed my friend, I have destroyed!”
But here, finally, is the mountain. Behind this mountain is a swamp and in it is a wolf's lair... I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!
He strains his last strength to jump to the top of the mountain... jumped up! But he can no longer run, he falls from exhaustion... will he really never make it?
The wolf's lair is in front of him as if on a silver platter. Somewhere in the distance, in a bell tower, six o'clock is striking, and each strike of the bell strikes like a hammer into the heart of the tormented beast. WITH the last blow The wolf rose from the lair, stretched and waved his tail with pleasure. So he approached the amanat, grabbed it in his paws and plunged his claws into the stomach to tear it into two halves: one for himself, the other for the wolf. And the wolf cubs are here; They settled around their father and mother, clicking their teeth, studying.
Here I am! Here! - the scythe shouted, like a hundred thousand hares together. And he rolled head over heels down the mountain into the swamp.
And the wolf praised him.
“I see,” he said, “that you can trust hares.” And here is my resolution for you: sit, for the time being, both under this bush, and later I will... ha ha... have mercy on you!

Mysticism: “In one place the rains poured, so that the river, which the hare had swam across in jest a day earlier, swelled and overflowed ten miles.” “In the third place, cholera showed up - we had to go around a hundred miles around the whole quarantine chain.” Irony: “...you’re under this bush and wait in line. Or maybe... ha-ha... I’ll have mercy on you!” “And here is my resolution for you: sit, for the time being, both under this bush, and later I will... ha ha... have mercy on you!”
Saltykov-Shchedrin in the fairy tale “The Selfless Hare” demonstrates the satirical component: human slavery. Namely, the hare, having escaped from captivity, easily overcomes all obstacles in order to get home. This personifies the ability of society to avoid slavery, but still, despite the fact that the obstacles on the way back have increased, the hare still returns to captivity to the wolf, thereby symbolizing the irreversible return of society to slavery.
