Bird cherry fragrant
Bloomed with spring
And golden branches,
What curls, curled...

Honey dew all around
Slides along the bark
Spicy greens underneath
Shines in silver.

And nearby, by the thawed patch,
In the grass between the roots
The little one runs and flows
Silver stream.

Bird cherry fragrant
Standing hanging,
And golden greens
It's burning in the sun.

The stream is like a thunderous wave
All branches are doused
And insinuatingly under the steep
Sings her songs.

(S. Yesenin)

Once in winter it snowed. The kids ran out into the street to play. They ride on sleds and throw snowballs. They began to sculpt a snow woman.

The road went through rye. A mouse ran by. Crying was heard in the grove - it was an owl starting to sing. Here is the river. Night fell and the fishing began. There was silence all around. The reeds whispered with the river. Soon I came across a ruff, and my uncle had a bream on his fishing line. It's midnight. We made a hut. In the morning, as soon as a ray of sunshine flashed, we were on our feet.

During the day, they busily scurry between the vegetable plots and in the garden.

The forest was solemn, light and quiet. The day seemed to be dozing. Lonely snowflakes fell from the sky. We wandered through the forest until evening. Bullfinches were sitting on a rowan tree. We picked a red rowan tree caught in the frost. This was the last memory of summer, of autumn. We approached the lake. There was a thin strip of ice off the coast. I saw a school of fish in the water. Winter began to come into its own. Thick snow fell.

House under the snow

I'm skiing through the forest. The trees stand quietly. Centuries-old pines and spruces are covered with snow. The clearing was crossed by hare tracks. It was the white hare who ran to the river. There they feast on willow branches. The capercaillie takes off quickly. He raised a column of snow dust with his wings. In severe frosts, wood grouse burrow into a snowdrift. That's where they spend the night. Warmth for birds under the snow.

The bravest

The fields lie all dark. One field is bright green. Cheerful sprouts on it. When did they manage to wake up from their winter sleep? When did you grow up? This is winter rye.

Hare

The brown hare lived near the village in winter. Night has come. He raised one ear, listened, moved his whiskers, sniffed and sat on his hind legs.

Why do birch trees cry?

Everyone in the forest is having fun, but the birches are crying. Under the hot rays of the sun, the juice quickly flows throughout the white trunk. It protrudes out through the pores of the bark. People consider birch sap to be a healthy and tasty drink. They cut the bark and collect it in a bottle. Trees that have released a lot of sap dry out and die, because their sap is the same as our blood.
