Squirrel starts a New Year's greetings. A New Year's story.
Squirrel woke up on December 30 in the morning.
The New Year holiday is soon. But it's cold! A cloudy weather!
Squirrel decided to run around the neighborhood, see who is doing what.
Squirrel watches: titmouses are flying - they are looking for something to eat. But everything is covered with ice.
Squirrel decided to give the titmouses a gift. She returned to her hollow, took the nut and returned to titmouses [Baeolophus].
Squirrel crushed the kernel of the nut into small particles and spread them on a board.
Titmouses are afraid to fly up to the nut. But the squirrel stepped aside and said: "Happy New Year!" "This is my New Year's gift!"
Titmouses fly up to the treat, each takes a nut crumb and flies off up to a branch. They are fluttering their wings: 'Thank you! Thank you! Happy New Year!"
Squirrel is pleased to hear how the titmouses fly up, flap their wings, how they thank her and congratulate her. New Year's mood appears.
At that moment a man was passing by the squirrel and titmouses; he was walking from of the store. The man placed a few crumbs from a loaf of bread next to the nut particles. "Happy New Year!"
Titmouses fly, they are thanking for bread crumbs, they are greeting with New Year holiday.
The man moved on.
At that moment, a fat cat appeared. He was not hungry, but according own principles he ate some bread crumbs. The mood got better. He walked on, purring. It's necessary to learn a song and to wish the hostess a Happy New Year.
A jay, a crow and a magpie noticed the bustle of titmouses. They flew in and sat on the highest branches of a nearby tree. They are not interested in nut crumbs.
But the general fuss, movement influenced them too.
They began to shout loudly, sitting on the branches: 'Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"
They shouted so loudly that a cockerel living somewhere far away heard them. Cockerel began to sing to the whole district: 'Kukareku! Kukareku! Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"
Gradually, the New Year mood spread among everyone, despite the cold and cloudy weather. And everyone congratulated each other and gave gifts.
Thus, Squirrel succeeded to be the first - to start a New Year's greetings.
