A fairy tale about eyes and ears A fairy tale about eyes and ears The Inca beaver lives in the winding creek in the forest.

The little house it built itself was very nice, with four walls and a roof. It built it by dragging the gnawed wood to the river.

Beaver fur coats are also good: they keep you warm in winter, are not wetted by water, and are not penetrated by wind.

Beavers also have good ears, and can hear small sounds such as fish swishing their tails in the river and leaves falling in the forest.

But its eyes are poor, almost like a blind man.

It walked a short distance of a hundred steps, and the things where it originally stayed were no longer visible.

The beaver's neighbor is a swan who lives on a clear forest lake.

This beautiful swan is full of arrogance and disdains to interact with other animals, and will only say hello reluctantly when meeting.

The beaver bowed to it, and it just held its white neck high, glanced condescendingly, and nodded slightly, which was considered a return gesture.

Once a beaver was working on the river bank, sawing aspen trees with his teeth.

Just halfway through sawing, a strong wind blew and the tree fell down.

The beaver sawed the tree trunk into several pieces and transported them to the river one by one.

It carried the tree section on its back and walked forward step by step with one paw on it, just like a person walking with a heavy load, but with a pipe in his mouth.

Suddenly the beaver saw the swan swimming along the river. At this time, it was very close to the swan.

The beaver stopped, put down the wood, and greeted politely: "Hello!" The swan raised her neck, nodded slightly and replied: "You didn't see me until you were so close! I'm far away at the bend of the river.

I saw you everywhere. Your eyes are so bad!" Then the swan laughed at the beaver again: "You are blind, and the hunter can catch you in his pocket with bare hands." The beaver listened patiently.

Said: "You are right, your eyes are indeed better than mine. But can your ears hear the sound at the third bend of the river?" The swan listened attentively for a while and then said: "What are you talking about?

There's no movement at all. It's quiet in the forest." After waiting for a while, the beaver asked again: "Where is the sound?" asked the swan.

"In the second clearing at the second bend of the creek." "I can't hear anything, I can't hear anything," said the swan. "There is silence in the forest." The beaver waited for a while, and then

"Did you hear it?" he asked. "Where is the noise?" "It's in the clearing behind the corner of the woods, the nearest clearing!" "You can't hear it, you can't hear anything," said the swan.

It's still very quiet in the forest. You're talking nonsense again." "Goodbye," said the beaver. "Just use your eyes and I'll use my ears." The beaver dived into the river.

, disappeared.

The swan raised its white neck and glanced around proudly.

It thinks that its eyes are very sharp and can always detect danger in time, so it can be worry-free.

Just then, a small boat jumped out from the river behind the forest.

There was a hunter sitting on the boat.

The hunter raised his gun, but before the swan could spread its wings, the gunshot rang out.

The swan's proud head fell into the river.

This corresponds to an old saying of the Khanty people who live in the forest: "In forest life, the ears occupy the first place, and the eyes only occupy the second place." (1) There are stories to describe the eyes. Extended reading: Common fairy tales

The expression technique of exaggeration is also an artistic technique commonly used in general literary works, but the exaggeration in fairy tale works is different from other works of art. It is an all-round exaggeration from content to form.

If we say that fantasy is the soul of fairy tales, then exaggeration is the flesh and blood of fairy tales, which makes fairy tales fuller.

"Without flesh and blood, the soul cannot be beautiful; without exaggeration, fantasy cannot be expressed. In fairy tales, only when exaggeration is at its best to express fantasy, it also has the greatest value of existence." Symbolism is through the use of things.

Some kind of connection between people, with the help of a specific image (symbol) of someone or something, to express some abstract concepts, thoughts and emotions.

Symbols are one of the mediators that combine fantasy in fairy tales with the real world, and are also a common method of shaping characters in fairy tales.

Personification Personification means personifying things, turning things that originally do not have some human movements and emotions into the same as humans, so that they also have the basic characteristics of humans.

Just like animals and plants in fairy tales can talk and laugh.

Personification is one of the commonly used techniques in fairy tale creation. It should be noted that although personification is the transformation of food that does not have human movements and emotions into the same as humans, they cannot be separated from their own essential attributes. It is precisely because of this that,

This gives fairy tales a sense of creative beauty that is both true and false, both virtual and real.
