Thus Forgotten Fairy Tales Die, mу art, 297×420 , pencil drawing, 2024 "They demolished the house. Inside, the forgotten house spirit wept silently. For a long time, he had been giving them signs to take him along. He knocked on the batteries at night, hummed through the pipes like a trombone. But people no longer believed in him. He had become obsolete to them. Milk was served to the cats in all the saucers. In the corners, there was only dust, and that was all. And now, he looked out the window, waiting for them to tear him down along with the house where he was born. With those walls that held his entire life. Suddenly, a boy stood up for him. Domovoi! I’m going! Hang on! His mother couldn’t hold him back, and his father was too slow—faster than the dozens of grown-ups, second-grader Sasha Stepanov raced to the rescue. The boy disappeared into the entrance, his mother screamed in panic, and his father cursed: Hey, bulldozers! Stop! He blocked their path. The son ran up to the attic. Hurry! He twisted his ankle on the stairs but didn’t cry—friends were more important. The door swung open. Sunlight poured in. The house spirit sat by the window. Hey, hello! I noticed you. Are you moving to the new building? The domovoi smiled at Sasha and traced the windowsill with his hand. Yes, I am. In your pocket. Take me with you. He turned into a toy. The boy picked him up, placed him in his pocket, and whispered: You’re essential to me! You’ve saved me so many times—from nightmares, bogeymen, and fires, a hundred times over! I’m taking you with us! I’m thrilled about this neighborhood! As the boy stepped out of the entrance, his father gave way to the machinery. From his pocket, he suddenly heard: Don’t forget, as you grow up: I exist! His mother scolded him for a week, and his father remained grumpy for three days. But he learned the most important lesson: fairy tales are alive. Here and now." 😊🏠🌟 #pencildrawing #pencilart #artworks #instaart #artgalley #drawings #artragneidr #derwent #derwentpencils #yuliyakravets #ragneidrart #housespirit #kidsstory #farytales #slavicmythology #домовой #дамавiк
