A riddle about a walnut for children. Peanut nut riddle

Walnut is a wonderful tree: up to almost 30 meters high, with a powerful trunk and spreading crown. The leaves of the nut are large and quite dense. Walnut flowers are small and rather inconspicuous. In the old days, many believed that walnuts did not bloom at all. There was a saying about this in Asia: “He who sees a nut flower will die.” The tree is remarkable because people use almost all of its parts - its wood is very beautiful and valuable, it is used to make expensive furniture, the nuts are very tasty and healthy, and the leaves are used to prepare medicinal potions and medicines - traditional medicine still uses decoctions from walnut leaves for the treatment of many diseases.

Many peoples considered this tree sacred, and in Rus' walnuts were cultivated in monastery gardens about 9 centuries ago, in the Vydubetsky and Mezhegorsky monasteries. It seems that along with the Orthodox faith, the Greek preachers brought with them this wonderful plant, which partly determined its modern Russian name.

True, clergy did not always treat walnuts favorably. However, the fact that there was no vegetation under the canopy of the tree confused the clergy for a long time - not very literate preachers explained this by saying that supposedly some evil spirits nested in the walnut, harming both people and plants.
In fact, a special substance, juglone, is formed in the leaves of the walnut, which is very toxic to many other plants: it inhibits the growth of nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, and also, for example, alfalfa. Rain washes this substance out of the leaves and it enters the soil, poisoning and oppressing the vegetation around the tree.

Of course, there are many mysteries, proverbs and legends about such a useful and beautiful tree. True, most of them are devoted to walnut fruits (or rather, kernels).

The legend about the walnut

The daughter of the Greek king Caria was the beloved of the god Dionysus,
but an accident happened and the girl died. Then Dionysus turned
her into the walnut tree, and Artemis brought the sad news to Carius
and ordered to build a temple in her honor. The temple columns were made
from trees in the shape of a young woman and were called caryatids,
that is, walnut nymphs.

Another legend about the walnut

In Caria (and the word “brown” meant “hazel” among the ancient Greeks), young girls danced in circles in honor of Artemis, to whom this plant was dedicated. One day, the participants of the round dance, frightened by a sudden thunderstorm, rushed under the protection of the sacred tree and immediately turned into nuts hanging on its branches.

Everything for everyone

Agniya Barto

We've arrived! We've arrived!
The parents have arrived!
With candies, with nuts
The parents have arrived!

Girls and boys
Jumping for joy:
In every suitcase
Apples and sweets.

In a little bundle
Gingerbread cookies.
And these are the pies,
Take care of them for yourself.

Here's for my son
Petenki
Lollipops
In a bag.

This is for no one else!

And with packages in hands
Tucked into the corners
From each other
By secret
Who's the pie?
And who has some candy?

One nut!

Nut or not nut?

Even the ancient Greeks and Romans argued about which fruits were classified as nuts. By biological definition, a nut is a fruit that has a hard shell and a kernel that is not attached to it, not covered with any shells or pulp. Therefore, only hazelnuts (hazel) and cashews can be classified as real nuts. All the rest, which we perceive as nuts, are either seeds, or seeds, or drupes.

Walnut gnome

In one nut,
In hazelnut
Settled in yesterday
Walnut gnome.
To the walnut house
He hid from everyone
But the branch was bent,
They picked a nut,
And so
He's floating
In my basket:
The house is rocking
The gnome is tumbling,
Guessing -
Where will they bring it?
They will eat
Or will they stock up for future use?

Two nuts.

The chipmunk wanted to put two nuts in the chest
Only he couldn’t resist and ate one nut
I only ate one nut
Our hungry chipmunk
You answer: how many nuts will he put in his chest?

Walnut in shell...

Walnuts in the shell cannot be cracked with your fingers!
Only tongs separate the edible part from the shell.
So the soul is laced into a tight shoe of position -
The sole breaks at the first awkward movement.
The foot crumples over every thrown pebble,
Fate cries if it is not in the middle, but on the edge!
A walnut in the shell cannot be cracked with your fingers -
They crush it with a fist and it crumbles.

About teeth

If in the morning on a plate
Bring nuts to the squirrel
Then she with great diligence
They will begin to chew them.
In this case, undoubtedly
The role of teeth is paramount.
That's why in a shallow river,
Squirrels often brush their teeth.

Two crows fought over a nut

Two crows fought over a nut
-Whose success will it be?
And the baby, seeing the stormy scandal,
I picked up that nut.
Sticked his tongue out at them and left -
That's good for everyone!
Twisted the wing at the temple
Two crows - melancholy...
They are not deprived of a nut,
And the reasons for the war.

Why give "for nuts"
From prehistoric times until the invention of Chupa Chups, nuts were a favorite delicacy for children. Of course, hazel thickets were not found everywhere, but the same children collected nuts in abundance and were very inexpensive. Therefore, the usual gift from the father of the family, who returned from work, was a couple of kopecks for the children for nuts.
And if the boys didn’t behave very well in their father’s absence, then the mother would say promisingly: “As soon as father returns, it will be good for you! He’ll pour in such roasted nuts, you’ll never forget.” It’s no wonder that the expression “to hell” became a promise of impending reprisals, punishment that was not very severe, but tangible.
