Short cat paw. Marshak. Mustachioed - Striped

The girl began to feed the kitten.
Brought oatmeal -
He turned away from the cup.

I brought him radishes -
He turned away from the bowl.

She brought me a piece of bacon.
The kitten says: - Not enough!

What a stupid kitten!
There were no mice in the house
And there were a lot of pencils.
They were lying on my dad's table
And they fell into the kitten's paws.
How he ran skipping,
The pencil caught like a mouse


And let's take him for a ride -
From under the chair under the bed,
From table to stool,
From the chest of drawers to the buffet.
Push - and scratch!
And then he drove it under the closet.
Waiting on the rug by the closet,
He hid, barely breathing...
Short cat paw -
Can't get a pencil!
What a stupid kitten!

The girl wrapped the kitten in a scarf and went with it to the garden.
People ask: - Who is this?
And the girl says: “This is my daughter.”
People ask: - Why does your daughter have gray cheeks?
And the girl says: “She hasn’t washed for a long time.”
People ask: - Why does she have furry paws and a mustache like her dad?
The girl says: “She hasn’t shaved for a long time.”

And as soon as the kitten jumped out, as it ran, everyone saw that it was a kitten - a mustachioed, striped one.
What a stupid kitten!
And then,
And then
He became a smart cat
And the girl also grew up, became even smarter and is studying in the first grade of school one hundred and first.

Kids in a cage

Tiger cub
Hey, don't stand too close -
I'm a tiger cub, not a pussy!

Elephant
They gave the shoe to the elephant.
He took one shoe
And he said: - We need wider ones,
And not two, but all four!

Giraffe
Picking flowers is easy and simple
Small children
But to the one who is so tall,
It's not easy to pick a flower!

Camel
Poor little camel:
The child is not allowed to eat.
He ate this morning
Only two of these buckets!

Baby Ostrich
I am a young ostrich,
Arrogant and proud.
When I'm angry I kick
Calloused and hard.

When I'm scared I run
Stretching your neck.
But I can't fly,
And I can't sing.

Zebras
striped horses,
African horses,
It's good to play hide and seek
In a meadow among the grass!

Lined horses
Like school notebooks
Painted horses
From hooves to head.

White bears
We have a spacious pond.
My brother and I swim together.
The water is cool and fresh.
The guards change her.
We're swimming from wall to wall
Sometimes on the side, sometimes on the back.
Stay to the right, darling
Don't touch me with your foot!

Owls
Look at the little owls -
The little ones are sitting next to each other.
When they don't sleep,
They are eating.
When they eat
They don't sleep.

Penguin
Really, kids, am I good?
On big bag similar.
On the seas in years past
I overtook steamships.
And now I'm here in the garden
I swim quietly in the pond.

Swan
Why does water flow
From this baby?
He recently came out of the pond,
Give me a towel!

Eskimo dog
There is a note on the twig:
"Don't come close!"
Don't believe the note -
I am the kindest animal.
Why am I sitting in a cage?
I don't know myself, kids.

Where did you have lunch, sparrow?

-Where did you have lunch, sparrow?
- In the zoo with the animals.

I had lunch first
Behind bars by the lion.

Took some refreshment from the fox.
I drank some water at the walrus's.

I ate carrots from an elephant.
I ate millet with the crane.

Stayed with a rhinoceros
I ate a little bran.

I went to the feast
In tailed kangaroos.

I was at a festive dinner
At the shaggy bear.

A toothed crocodile
Almost swallowed me.

The Tale of a Stupid Mouse

A mouse sang in its hole at night:
- Sleep, little mouse, shut up.
I'll give you a crust of bread
And a candle stub.
The mouse answers her:
- Your voice is too thin.
Better, mom, not food,
Find me a nanny!
The mother mouse ran,
I started calling the duck to be my nanny:
- Come to us, Aunt Duck,
Rock our baby.
The duck began to sing to the mouse:
- Ha-ha-ha, go to sleep, little one!
After the rain in the garden
I'll find you a worm.
Silly little mouse
He answers her sleepily:
- No, your voice is not good.
You're singing too loud!
The mother mouse ran
She began to call the toad as a nanny:
- Come to us, Aunt Toad,
Rock our baby.
The toad began to croak importantly:
- Kva-kva-kva, no need to cry!
Sleep, little mouse, until the morning,
I'll give you a mosquito.
Silly little mouse
He answers her sleepily:
- No, your voice is not good.
You eat very boringly!
The mother mouse ran
Call Aunt Horse as a nanny:
- Come to us, Aunt Horse,
Rock our baby.
“And-go-go!” the horse sings.
- Sleep, little mouse, sweet, sweet,
Turn on your right side
I'll give you a bag of oats!
Silly little mouse
He answers her sleepily:
- No, your voice is not good.
It's very scary to eat!
The mother mouse ran
Call Aunt Pig as a nanny:
- Come to us, Aunt Pig,
Rock our baby.
The pig began to grunt hoarsely,
To lull the naughty one:
- Sleep, my little gray one, oink-oink,
I'll give you carrots!
Silly little mouse
He answers her sleepily:
- No, your voice is not good.
You sing very rudely!
The mother mouse began to think:
We need to call the chicken.
- Come to us, Aunt Klusha,
Rock our baby.
The hen clucked:
- Where-where! Don't be afraid, baby.
Get under your wing -
It's quiet and warm there.
Silly little mouse
He answers her sleepily:
- No, your voice is not good.
You won't fall asleep like that!
The mother mouse ran
I started calling the pike to be my nanny:
- Come to us, Aunt Pike,
Rock our baby.
The pike began to sing to the mouse -
He didn't hear a sound:
Shuka's mouth opens,
But you can’t hear what he’s singing...
Silly little mouse
He answers her sleepily:
- No, your voice is not good.
You're singing too quietly!
The mother mouse ran
I started calling the cat to be my nanny:
- Come to us, Aunt Cat,
Rock our baby.
The cat began to sing to the mouse:
- Meow-meow, sleep, my baby!
Meow-meow, let's go to bed,
Meow-meow, on the bed.
Silly little mouse
He answers her sleepily:
- Your voice is so good.
You sing very sweetly.
The mother mouse came running,
I looked at the bed
Looking for a stupid mouse
But the mouse is nowhere to be seen...

Marshak’s touching poem “Mustachioed and Striped” about a girl who played with her kitten like a little son will surely appeal to your child. After all, probably, each of us once played “mother and daughter”. And when, instead of an inanimate doll, such a Mustache-Striped one plays, the game becomes much more interesting and lively! 🙂

And although the mustachioed tabby sometimes seemed like a stupid kitten, in the end he still grew into a smart cat.

Samuel Marshak

Mustachioed - Striped

Once upon a time there was a girl. What was her name?
Who called
He knew it.
But you don't know.

How old was she?
How many winters
So many years -
Forty is not yet.
And only four years.

And she had... Who did she have?
Grey,
Whiskered,
All striped.
Who is it? Kitty.

The girl began to put the kitten to bed.

- Here's under your back
Soft feather bed.

On top of the feather bed
A clean sheet.

Here's to your ears
White pillows.

Down duvet
And a handkerchief at the top.

Comes back - what is it?

The tail is on the pillow,
There are ears on the sheet.

Is this how they sleep? She turned the kitten over and laid it down as it should:

Under the back -
Perinku.

On the feather bed -
A sheet.

Under the ears -
Pillows.

And she went to dinner. He comes again - what is it?

Not a feather in sight
Not a sheet
Not a pillow
Can't see
And the mustachioed one,
Striped
Moved over
Under the bed.

Is this how they sleep? What a stupid kitten!

A girl wanted to bathe a kitten.

Brought
A piece
soap,
And a washcloth
Got it,
And some water
From the boiler
In the teahouse
Cup
Brought it.

The kitten didn't want to take a bath -
He knocked over the trough
And in the corner behind the chest
He washes his paw with his tongue.

What a stupid kitten!

The girl began to teach the kitten to say:

- Kitty, say: ball.
And he says: meow!

- Say: horse.
And he says: meow!

- Say: e-medicine-three-thing.
And he says: meow-meow!

All “meow” and “meow”! What a stupid kitten!

The girl began to feed the kitten.

Brought oatmeal -
He turned away from the cup.

Brought him radishes -
He turned away from the bowl.

She brought me a piece of bacon.

What a stupid kitten!

And let's take him for a ride -
From under the chair under the bed,
From table to stool,
From the chest of drawers to the buffet.
Give it a push and get a scratch!
And then he drove it under the closet.

Waiting on the rug by the closet,
He hid, barely breathing...
Short cat's paw
Can't get a pencil!

What a stupid kitten!
