On one of the glades in a dark forest, a pair of wolves frolic and a huge bear.They jump, pushing and kubarim ride along the clover covered with clover, not growling, not laughing.It seems that the sun itself over the heads of animals was picked up by their carefree joy.It quietly slipped to the distant hills and stained the sky and earth with the scarlet rays of sunset. “Bear, home.You need to train, ”the senile voice came in the forest. Mededice shook her head, spent her ears, shaking off the blades, and suddenly began to decrease in size.The thick fur disappeared, and a girl appeared on the site of the beast.It was a bear, a shift. Looking around in search of the one who called her, Mishka jumped to her feet and cried out joyfully: “Teacher!Hugglingaaaaiashii! ”Right in the jump, Mishka again turned into a big bear.The old man distorted fear - he realized that he was waiting.A huge shadow completely covered him, and Mishka-Madveditsa collapsed straight at the teacher, raising the dust clubs and frightening a flock of birds. When the dust settled, the old man saw that his legs entered the soft ground.Nevertheless, his hands tightly squeezed the bear in their arms. “Well, what a stupid thing!You are no longer a child. ”Founding out of the trembling hands of the teacher, the bear turned into a girl again.Despite the cheerful look, it was clear from her face that she realized that she was wrong, but she was not going to abandon her habits. ... The old teacher and Mishka met ten years ago.A terrible scene broke out at the very edge of the dark forest: the wolf steam was sitting at the corpse of their mother, on the contrary stood a little girl, and between them a poacher. This case made an indelible impression on the old man.He liked the stubbornness of Bear, and he wanted to save her. Brakonier instructed the Mishka gun.Only the old teacher was about to intervene, as Bear published a terrible roar and turned into a huge bear.The frightened girl became a furious beast.Turning to the enemy, she jumped on him, preventing him from escaping.The old man immediately understood who she was: a shift from a sleepy grove.This place exists on the border between the material and intangible worlds.The local magic distorts the laws of physics, and those of the forest residents who often happen in a sleepy grove developed unique talents that absorb this magic.They learned to change his appearance, and they began to be called over -shifts. Starik finished off the poacher who was trying to escape, and then hurried to Mishka, who collapsed to the ground from exhaustion."Will you come with me.I will teach you to defend yourself, ”he said.The bear did not utter a word: she did not take her eyes off the wolf.“Let's take them too,” the old man added.A tired, but sincere smile blossomed on the face of a little bear. On that day he became her teacher, and she was his only student.The girl, who was always alone, found a family. ... Even if the training was difficult, the bear no longer felt lonely and was ready to cope with any difficulties.After training, she rushed into the arms of an old teacher each time and immediately forgot about her fatigue.The old man was satisfied with how the talents of the bear were developing, he shared her happiness ... At least it was so until she learned to turn in a jump. The day was almost the last for him. The girl became a little more, and the teacher’s hands - the teacher's hands -A little thicker.The wolf cubs also grew up and became majestic creatures - at least until they began to wag their tails.Then the time came to find the founders to leave the house and go to look for their place in the world - now they were mature enough to cope with everything on their own. It took time to say goodbye.Having collected all her things, Mishka turned to her beloved teacher and hugged him so that the bones cracked.Wolves with a satisfied look waved his tails and hurried after the girl.In the rays of the setting sun, the silhouettes of Bear and two wolves seemed even more.The wind brought her farewell words to the old man: "Teacher, when I return, you will have to catch me!"
