What is water? Scientists answer - H 2 O. And Donald Bisset: - Diamonds on the grass.
You ask: who is Donald Bisset? The answer is simple: Donald Bisset writes fairy tales. He is a living, modern storyteller. The short, surprising, and very funny stories he writes—truthful tales are more aptly called them—continue the tradition of eccentric play and invention of English ditties, drenched in good old humor like the filling of an apple pie with fruit juice.
Bisset now lives in London. London is the capital of England. Several times Donald Bisset came to our country and fell in love with it very much. Once he was invited to a kindergarten. He immediately made friends with the guys and together with them began to invent fairy tales. How can this be, you wonder? After all, Bisset probably doesn't speak Russian. Oh sure. But that didn't stop them. They perfectly understood each other in the fabulous language of friendship.
But, unfortunately, Donald simply did not have enough time to find this most beautiful mutual language with all the guys. And so he was very happy when he found out that his fairy tales were translated into Russian. Retelling them for you in Russian Natalia Shereshevskaya. Maybe you read the books “I’ll tell you even now”, “Conversations with a tiger”, “Everything is upside down”, “Forgotten birthday”? Then you are already familiar with Uncle Tick-Tock, the tiger Rrr, the piglet Icarus and many, many others.
And if not, then get to know each other. All you have to do is put this record on. In the meantime, while you are fiddling with the envelope, examining the funny picture depicted on it, pressing the button on your player, we just have time to ask Donald's favorite characters to tell something about himself.
Uncle Tick Tock: Donald Bisset is almost the same age as me. He was born in 1911...
Tiger Rrrrr: It can't be, uncle Tick-tock! After all, Donald thought you much later.
Uncle Tick-Tock: Don't interrupt, R-r-r-r! Until then, we'll get there. So, Donald was born in a Scottish village. Scotland is the northern part of England. By the way, do you know, Rrr, that England itself is not a very large island?
Tiger Rrr: It is known. Just as I know that, alas, corporal punishment is used in schools on this island. What words, brr! It's disgusting to even pronounce.
Piglet Icarus: Yes, when Donald was at school, he was a big fidget and loved at school not only to listen, but also to draw funny faces. And all those who were guilty on Mondays were supposed to be whipped. Before breakfast.
Uncle Tick-Tock: And after school, Donald did not have to study at all. Although he really wanted to become a musician or an artist, education was too expensive. It was cheaper to enter the theater studio. So he became an actor, though not very famous. But Donald still loves the theater very much. For many years he played in the famous Shakespeare theater, where the plays of the great English playwright William Shakespeare were staged.
Piglet Icarus: When the theater went on tour, the performance was sometimes given right in the open air - for example, in the courtyard of some old castle. The spectators sat on long benches. The stage was illuminated by burning torches instead of lamps. Trees rustled. Bats flew overhead.
Tiger Rrr: And Donald started writing fairy tales quite by accident. Once, between stage appearances, he sat backstage in a quiet corner and wrote a short fairy tale on the back of the theater program - a long one would not fit there - "About a little bus that was afraid of the dark." This happened.
Uncle Tick-Tock: Twenty-nine years ago. In 1953. And then Donald showed this tale to the editor of London television. I liked the fairy tale, but the editor said that we needed not one, but several fairy tales. Donald agreed. And month after month, he appeared on the English TV screen, told his “true stories” and right there, right in front of the astonished TV viewers, drew pictures for them. That's how fairy tales were born...
Piglet Icarus: "How a piglet learned to fly."
Tiger R-r-r-r: Tale-tale "Uncle Tick-Tock's Travels". You will hear some of it right now.
Uncle Tick-Tock: In fact, Bisset's books were born from TV appearances. The first came out in 1954, and then they went and went. After all, Donald has already written 100...
Piglet Icarus: No, 120!
Tiger Rrr: No, more! 150 fairy tales! All and do not list.
Uncle Tick-Tock: “Well, this Donald is an eccentric! friends say about him. - Not only does he play in the theater and act in films. Busy person in general. And he also writes fairy tales and draws pictures for them. Everything is going upside down for him."

“If you look at everything with boring eyes,” Donald objects to them, “then everything will seem somersault. And if you have imagination...” The main thing is to have a rich imagination! Then all the heroes of Bisset, even with the most incredible names, will seem to us good friends - both Vrednyugi and the Magic Spring. Then everyone will easily guess - Bisset writes about what worries everyone: about loyalty and friendship, about kindness and arrogance, about stupidity and injustice.

Let's learn a little about him.

Donald Bisset - English children's writer, painter, film and theater actorproducer. Bisset created the world short stories, not only embodied his ideas in two books that glorified him - A Forgotten Birthday and Journey along the River of Time - but also carried out television shows from his best fairy tales.

And he knows how to move his brains so much that his thoughts rustle. The main enemies of Donald Bisset and Tiger Cub Rrrr are Vrednyugs with the names Don't, Nesmey and Be ashamed.

N. V. Shershevskaya (translator of Bisset's fairy tales) about the writer:

The English storyteller... started writing fairy tales commissioned by London television and read them himself in children's programs. And he read excellently, because he was a professional actor and accompanied the reading with his amusing and expressive drawings. The broadcast lasted about eight minutes, and, accordingly, the volume of the tale did not exceed two or three pages. The first book of his short stories was published in the Read It Yourself series in 1954. It was called "I'll tell you when you want." It was followed by "I'll tell you another time", "I'll tell you sometime", etc. Then there were collections united by the same heroes - "Yak", "Conversations with a Tiger", "The Adventures of Miranda the Duck", " A horse named Smokey”, “Uncle Tick-Tock's Journey”, “Jungle Trip” and others. All books were published with drawings by the author himself.

Homework

Prepare a retelling of the work “How the Piglet Learned to Fly” by D. Bisset.

A fairy tale about a pig Icarus, who wanted to learn how to fly and glued his wings out of feathers and wax. He flew high into the sky, but the sun melted the wax on the wings and the pig fell into the sea and got wet ...

About the pig that learned to fly read

Once a piglet - and his name was Icarus - came to the Magic Spring and asked:
- Fulfill, please, my desire.
Piglet has long wanted to learn how to fly. No wonder his name was Icarus.
- If you really want, I can make you fly, - said the Magic Spring. - Only for this you first need to turn into a bird.
- No, I want to be a pig. A pig that can fly,” said Icarus.
"But piglets can't fly," said the Magic Spring.
Icarus was very upset and went home.
On the way, he thought of only one thing: how to still learn to fly.
Early the next morning he went to the forest and asked each bird to give him a feather. Well, of course they gave it to him.

Maybe you want to learn how to fly? they asked.
"Yes," replied Icarus.
He glued the feathers together with wax to form wings. Then he climbed to the top of the mountain near the seashore. He was followed by a cat, a mouse, a bird and two rabbits, a whole company of bugs and even a snail - everyone wanted to see what he could do.
Icarus tied his wings, flapped them and flew. That was happiness! And all the spectators were also happy, and the smallest bug almost died of delight.
Icarus rose high, high, almost to the sun.
- Ay yes piglet! Hey young lady! - he praised himself. - And the Magic Spring also said that piglets cannot fly. They can!

But from the heat of the sun, the wax melted, and the wings flew down feather-length. And behind them, the pig itself. He rolled several times in the air and flopped into the sea.
Poor Icarus was completely wet. It’s also good that he safely swam to the shore and rushed home to his mother at a run.
- Do not be upset, my little Icarus, - his mother told him, - after all, you did FLY! And she hugged him tightly.
All his friends came to visit him, and my mother made them tea with cake and jam.
Late in the evening, Icarus ran to the Magic Spring. He leaned over the edge of the well and, looking at a tiny piece of water at the very bottom, said:
“You're right, piglets can't fly.” And a tear rolled down his cheek.
- Keep your head up, - said the Magic Spring, - you're still a fine fellow!
"He's very brave, that piglet, isn't he?" Rrrr said when Donald had finished speaking. “And being brave is almost as good as being brave.
- But it's the same thing, - Donald smiled. - And what do you think, Rrrr, do the guys know why the pig was called Icarus?
- I know, but the guys probably don't know. Tell me better.
- A long time ago, the ancient Greeks composed fairy tales about gods and heroes. They called their stories myths. They had one myth about the young man Icarus and about his father, a skilled craftsman. Together with his father, Icarus had to escape from the evil king. And in order to fly across the sea, they made wings for themselves from feathers and glued them together with wax. Father asked Icarus not to rise too high, but Icarus did not listen to him and flew straight to the sun. The sun melted the wax on his wings...
- And then everything was almost the same as with the piglet, right? Rrr said.
- Nearly.
- And how the piglet guessed to glue the wings with wax, that's a miracle! Rrr has always wondered about this.
- Probably because, - said Donald, - that the piglet VERY wanted to fly. And when you really want something...
- I know, I know, - Rrrr interrupted. - And now, please, tell two new tales and one old one. You promised!
- What do you mean two new ones? Bisset asked.
- The ones I haven't heard yet.
- Mm, well, I have just two new fairy tales. I composed them a long time ago, probably three, maybe even four days ago, but I haven't told anyone yet.

Everyone has a dream, even a little piggy. This pig really wanted to learn how to fly. No, he didn't want to be a bird at all, he wanted to remain a pig. Such magic was beyond the power of the magic well, and then the pig decided to make his own wings. And, imagine, he flew! And how it was, read in the fairy tale "About the pig that could fly." Author D. Bisset. The author of illustrations is V. Chizhikov.

Donald Bisset

About a pig that could fly

Once a piglet - and his name was Icarus! - came to the Magic Spring and asked to fulfill his wish. He had long wanted to learn to fly.

If you really want, I can make you fly, - said the Magic Source. - But only for this you first need to turn into a bird.

No, I want to be a pig! A pig that can fly,” said Icarus.

But piglets can't fly! - objected the Magic source.

Icarus was very upset and went home. On the way, he thought of only one thing: how to learn to fly.

Early the next morning he went into the forest and asked each bird to give him a feather. Well, of course they gave it to him.

Maybe you want to learn how to fly? they asked.

Yes, Icarus replied.

He tied all the feathers together to make wings. Then he climbed to the top of the mountain near the seashore. Behind him climbed up there a cat and a mouse, a bird
and two rabbits, a whole company of bugs and even a snail - everyone wanted to see what he could do.

Icarus tied his wings, waved them and slowly rose into the sky. That was happiness! And all the spectators were also happy, and the smallest bug almost died of delight. Icarus rose high, high, almost to the Sun itself.

Hey piggy! Hey young lady! he praised himself. - And the Magic Spring also said that piglets can't fly. They can!

And just at that moment, he flew so close to the Sun that the ropes with which he tied his wings caught fire from the heat of the sun. And the wings fell down. And behind them is a piglet. He rolled several times in the air and flopped into the sea.

Poor Icarus was completely wet, it’s good that he swam safely to the shore and rushed to his mother.

Do not be upset, my little Icarus, - his mother told him, - after all, you did FLY!

And she gave him jam and cake. And all his friends came to visit him and started a round dance:

Piglet Icarus, our friend,
We gathered today in a circle,
To sing and dance
To sing and dance
In honor of the one who can fly!
