Ask the rooster for help.” They began to ask the rooster to help the misfortune: “Great cockerel, help the goat collect cabbage in the garden for cabbage soup and salt. Guests, children and grandchildren will come, we will treat them to cabbage soup, feed them pies, give us money, go to the market, buy the goat a red sundress and "We'll get her new boots from the merchant Yegor, and a full jug of grain for the cockerel.

Ask the cat for help.” They began to ask the cat to help the cat in trouble: “Little cat, help the goat and the cockerel collect cabbage in the garden for cabbage soup and salt. Guests, children and grandchildren will come, we will treat them to cabbage soup, feed them pies, give us money, we will go to the market, buy the goat a red sundress "Yes, we'll get her new boots from the merchant Yegor; for the cockerel - a full jug of grain; and for you, little cat, you'll have a pot of sour cream and a ball of wool. You'll have fun playing and scaring the mice!"

The goat, the rooster and the cat started working in the garden, walking and talking:

"Me-me, ko-ko, mur-mur.

Grandfather and grandmother

Guests - cabbage soup, pickles,

We get gifts and fun.

Chu, chu, chu?

The bells are ringing -

The goat began to tear up the cabbage with her horns, whip and throw the cockerel, and roll the cat into piles. The grandfather chopped the cabbage, the woman put it in barrels and sprinkled it with salt. Glorious work is when there is friendship and hunting!

Legends about cabbage

TO Apusta has been known for so long that many legends and traditions are associated with it.

P According to one of the ancient Greek legends, the tears of the Thracian king Lycurgus, whom Dionysus brutally beat with vines, turned into cabbage. And this story began with the fact that Lycurgus, an ardent opponent of alcohol and the cheerful god Dionysus, considered the creator of wine and beer, once attacked him and his retinue during a trip, then many bacchantes who accompanied Dionysus died. For which Dionysus decided to take revenge on Lycurgus.

WITH Lycurgus's forests, falling to the ground, turned into previously unseen plants, round like a head. Those present gave them the name “kaptum” - head.

D Further developments of events are interpreted differently in different legends. According to one of them, Lycurgus, who did not recognize the divine origin of Dionysus and the spread of wine drinking, expelled him from his country with a whip. To escape, Dionysus threw himself into the sea, where he was saved by the sea goddess Thetis. Homer mentioned this; according to him, Zeus punished Lycurgus with blindness and unexpected death for this.

WITH According to later authors, after the expulsion of Dionysus, Lycurgus fell into madness, he saw grapevines everywhere. And once, in a rage, he cut off his leg with a sword, mistaking it for a vine; according to other sources, believing that he was cutting off a vine, Lycurgus killed his son Driant with an ax and mutilated his body. According to legend, Lycurgus, angry at the excessive consumption of wine, ordered to uproot all the vineyards and plant them with cabbage. Because of the blasphemous madness of Lycurgus, the Thracian land ceased to bear fruit, and then people took him to Mount Pangea and gave him to be torn to pieces by wild horses.

IN 5th century BC e. Aeschylus wrote the trilogy "Lycurgy", from which only fragments have survived to this day.

IN Perhaps this legend appeared because in Ancient Greece cabbage was a symbol of sobriety, and the Greeks themselves believed that it relieved intoxication and said: “Eat cabbage before drinking and you will not get drunk; eat it after and you will disperse the hops.” And here's what grape vines deviate away from the cabbage planted next to it, that’s a fact. However, as well as the fact that cabbage does not grow well next to grapes.

E Another legend about the origin of cabbage is associated with the name of the supreme deity of the Romans - Jupiter. According to ancient Roman legend, cabbage grew from large drops of Jupiter's sweat that rolled down to the ground while he was pondering two contradictory sayings of an oracle.

By the way, it was believed that Jupiter patronized agriculture and the grape harvest holidays - Vinalia - were dedicated to him.

IN In Norway, cabbage is mentioned in legends dating back to the 12th century.

The story of the ruler and the cabbage

WITH beamed and completely interesting stories related to cabbage. In the prime of life and glory, Emperor Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletian, the same one who believed that Carthage should be destroyed, renounced power and went to his estate in Salona (modern Split), where he began growing cabbage. And when, during political difficulties in his homeland, they came to him with a request to become emperor again, he refused, arguing: “If you had seen the kind of cabbage I grew, you would not have offered me nonsense.”

TO By the way, he developed several new varieties that he liked to brag about...

G they say, in Ancient Rome another two hundred years after Diocletian they celebrated Cabbage Day, which fell on May 1 - it is assumed that it was on this day (May 1, 305 AD) that the emperor renounced power.

G They say that Alexander the Great fed his soldiers cabbage leaves before battle to maintain vigor and eliminate fear.

IN In Sweden, cabbage is protected by law in the property protection statute issued in 1327 by King Magnus.

WITH The Slavs also had the “Cabbage” dance, a type of round dance.

IN “Cabbage parties” were popular among actors - fun evenings for a small circle with performances and cabbage pie.

IN these days cabbage is called money (rubles or dollars): “Today I have cabbage (I have money)”; “Chopping cabbage (or mowing, digging, etc.) means earning currency.”

Children in cabbage

IN It is possible that with the recommendations of Egyptian doctors of the era of Ramses I (1295 - 1294 BC), “in order for children to grow healthy, they should be fed with cabbage,” the tale began that children are found in cabbage...

IN Tales of children found in cabbages were widespread in France.

N and in Rus' it was believed that children were brought into the cabbage by a hare, revered by our ancestors for its high fertility. And cabbage because its leaves resemble diapers...

TO By the way, in Russia a child born out of wedlock was called a cabbage boy.

More about cabbage

Once upon a time there lived a king
A very simple king.
He ruled the country somehow,
I got into trouble all the time,
But this, really, was a trifle, -
A worthless carom.

After all, more important than all other concerns,
Quite seriously all year round,
At the walls of the palace, from the other end,
Behind a hedge in two rings,
As an inheritance from his father,
There was a nice vegetable garden.

And there, in the beds between the roses,
Leaving the royal post
The king planted and watered
I weeded and chased away hares,
I fertilized it with my own hands,
And I was seriously happy.

Hey, he didn’t work in vain,
(After all, hard work is Hurray!):
Heads of cabbage arranged neatly in a row,
Like a platoon of well-fed soldiers,
They stand as if for a parade -
It's time to harvest!

The king went to the garden
For breakfast I took pie and salt,
(Because I left on an empty stomach)
And suddenly, I saw: a worm was eating,
(A very tiny little worm!),
Cabbage and beans.

The offended king cried:
"What damage! What robbery!
Call the army now!
Catch! Grab it! To arrest!
Judge! Execute! Quarter!
A spy got in because!"

The trumpeter blows the signal - “On the march!”
A full platoon of guards is running,
Behind him is a pot-bellied general,
Mustachioed sleepy corporal,
Soldiers in helmets without visors -
They run to the garden.

But the matter ended in nothing:
The worm said: “I will eat you all!”
Opened his round mouth wider
And swallowed up the whole garden,
(Persistent work, blood and sweat),
Carrots and other root vegetables,
Peas, cabbage round dance,
Having reduced the income of labor to nothing,
And a stronghold for the glorious army,
And even gate hinges,
Here!..
Leaving only horseradish!..

Because Horseradish, said the worm,
Eating on an empty stomach is very harmful
Although I am a worm, I am not a simpleton,
And I don’t eat horseradish!

What a glutton that worm is!!!
How did you not choke on everyone?
We are waiting for “interruptions” of vegetables
From all insatiable worms!!!

Cool story, Olya! Now I’m reading to my husband... He loves everything for children.

Thank you, Svetik! But I like my Arabian fairy tale better - it’s long, but I don’t think it’s boring. While I'm on a break, I need to do something urgently - and I'm so lazy.)))

In the garden, cabbage is called lady cabbage. Why exactly the lady? A fairy tale will tell us about this.

"Lady Cabbage"
Author of the tale: Iris Review

One day the kids Carrot and Beetroot asked their mothers why they call Cabbage “lady”? But I must say that Cabbage really was like a lady in the garden. It took up a lot of space in the garden bed, and the bed itself, allocated for cabbage, was larger than others. She was provided with the most abundant watering; and the weeds were afraid of her. They easily adapted to the sprouts of carrots and beets, but they preferred to stay away from cabbage. She's so big, she'll crush you inadvertently.

The mothers of babies Carrot and Beetroot didn’t really know why Cabbage was called a lady. They decided to ask King Pea about this.

- Cabbage is a lady because she always dresses up, walks around in a hundred clothes. And whoever walks around in rich attire is a lady. And besides, she is so large and healthy. “A real Russian lady,” said Tsar Gorokh.

Carrots and Beetroot nodded cheerfully. They loved the way Cabbage grew. She's so beautiful green color. The color of hope.
