Once upon a time, in a green forest, insects and bears lived together. All the insects in the forest, from tiny grasshoppers to beautiful butterflies, looked at the large bodies of the bears with both fear and curiosity. The bears, on the other hand, were amazed by the small but swift lives of the insects. However, there was no friendship between the insects and the bears, as they lived far apart from each other.
One day, a little grasshopper named Shafa heard stories about the size and strength of the bears and decided to be near them. He hopped along and arrived at the bears' yard. There, a big bear named Burshak was sleeping under the sun. Shafa caught Burshak's attention with his small voice and bravery.
— Hello, Burshak! I am Shafa the Grasshopper, and I want to see your strength! — said Shafa.
Burshak woke up and looked at the little insect with amazement. He smiled and said to Shafa: — Thank you for waking me up, little friend. But to see my strength, you need to challenge me, — he said.
Shafa was very happy and replied to Burshak: — I will test your strength! But I also have my own skills. I will race you! — he said.
Burshak laughed: — Alright, little Shafa, let's race! But you will see that once I start running, it will be hard for you to catch me.
That day, all the insects and bears in the forest gathered for the race. Burshak and Shafa lined up to race. Burshak took big steps, while Shafa ran with small but quick strides. The bears cheered for Burshak's great strength, while the insects supported Shafa.
The race began, Burshak took the lead, but Shafa was not falling behind and was pushing forward. All the inhabitants of the forest were cheering them on loudly. However, during the race, Burshak stumbled and fell to the ground. Although he was not seriously injured, his side and leg hurt.
Seeing this, Shafa stopped. He ran past Burshak but then stopped: — Burshak, I am happy to have beaten you, but I cannot leave you alone! — he said.
Shafa tried to help Burshak. He approached him and flew around to offer support. Burshak looked at him in amazement: — Why didn't you leave me alone even though you won? — he asked.
Shafa smiled: — Because friendship is the greatest strength. Only when we help each other can we achieve true victory, — he said.
After the race was over, the bears and insects looked at Burshak's leg. They were amazed by the friendship between Shafa and Burshak and rejoiced together. Burshak said to Shafa: — I am ready to be friends with you! Together we can be strong, — he said.
From that day on, the friendship between the insects and bears flourished in the forest, and they helped each other, spending joyful times together. They played games every day and organized joint activities. Burshak's strength and Shafa's swiftness made them strong together and set an example for the forest inhabitants.
Thus, the friendship between the insects and bears preserved the peace of the forest and made them happy. The power of friendship overcame all difficulties and established true unity between the small insects and the large bears.
Conclusion of the fairy tale: Friendship is the greatest strength. There is no difference between the small and the large if they help each other, rejoice together, and can overcome difficulties.
