Which bird brushes the teeth of a crocodile in a cartoon: name

The Soviet cartoon directed by Gennady Sokolsky was named after the tiny fearless bird Tari.
She is one of the entire vast Africa was not afraid to climb into the mouth of a harmful and evil crocodile. He had big teeth that he never brushed. This caused them to get sick. All the animals laughed at the reptile and did not want to help him. Only tiny Tari undertook painstaking and not safe work. She freed the scarecrow's mouth from debris and pulled out a restless tooth.

An analogue of the bird Tari in nature

The subfamily of the runners of the family of the Charadriiformes order contains a bird called the crocodile watchman or the Egyptian runner (in Latin Pluvianus aegyptius).
According to a very ancient legend, this bird cleans the mouth of a crocodile from food debris and notifies them of a threat to life. The story has not been documented. In fact, reptiles don't need brushing their teeth. With open mouths, lying on the shore, they catch flies.

"Bird Tari", 1976. Studio "Soyuzmultfilm". What does this cartoon teach a successful child?

Soviet cartoons very often contain invaluable material for raising a successful child. The main thing is not just to watch, but also to discuss what you see with the baby.

Most likely, you have already learned what the cartoons “Cockroach”, “How Monkeys Dined”, “Day of Luck” teach a successful child. Today we will add one more video to the collection of the New Rich Since Childhood project.

Cartoon for a successful child.

If suddenly the video does not open for you, try to find the cartoon yourself through any search engine. Also, this cartoon can be found in collections of Soviet cartoons.

What does the cartoon "Tari the Bird" teach a successful child?

Thought #1. Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword.

Such words were once said by the great commander Alexander Nevsky. And this idea is very clearly seen in this cartoon.

At first, the crocodile was completely unfriendly to others. "Never said a single kind word to anyone." Offended everyone. I plucked the feathers from the tail of the poor bird.

But when trouble came to the crocodile, his anger (=sword) almost killed him. No one wanted to help the hostile, albeit sick, crocodile.

Always be friendly!

Thought #2. Take responsibility for your own life only on yourself.

You must be responsible for yourself. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, the direction of the wind, but you can change yourself.

Jim Dornan.

Why does a crocodile have a toothache? "It's my own fault! Never brushes his teeth!

It is the same with the life of every person. If something is wrong with you, do not blame anyone for your troubles and failures. Instead, recognize yourself and your actions as the cause of everything that happens to you. And then you can change your present. And - even the future, which you are still afraid to even dream about.

Thought #3. Do not look for excuses: "Why can't I?" Ask yourself: "How can I?"

Remember! Losers are always looking for answers to the question: "WHY can't I?" Winners ask themselves, "HOW can I?"

Feel the difference?

The unfortunate crocodile was not originally set up to solve the problem. Instead, he just came up with an excuse: “How can I brush my teeth when I have such short legs?”

But if the crocodile had set himself the task of finding the answer to the question of the winners, he would have found at least one solution. Invite someone to brush their teeth.

Thought #4. Opportunities are always there! The main thing is to look for them, find and use them.

It would seem that. Since the crocodile has short arms, it means that it cannot reach its teeth. So it's easier to just give up and do nothing.

However, there are always opportunities! And sometimes they even come. (The bird Tari suggested to the crocodile: “If you want, I will brush your teeth every day”). The main thing is not to miss them and use them! ("Agreed!" - the crocodile was delighted).

Thought #5 . What you can't do yourself, outsource.

If a faucet is broken in the house and we cannot fix it, then we call a plumber. If we want our own portrait and cannot paint it ourselves, we go to an artist. To solve the problem, we use other people's strength, time and skill. Transferring things to another means outsourcing (delegating).

The crocodile could not cope with brushing his teeth himself, so he outsourced this function to the bird Tari.

Thought #6. The main rule of any successful transaction: WIN - WIN.

All laws of business correspond to the laws of nature!

We can say that the cartoon about the bird Tari is based on real events. In the wild, really small birds clean the crocodile's teeth.

The question arises. Why do they do it? Is the crocodile huge? Is the crocodile toothy? He can easily swallow a single small bird at a time!

And the secret is very simple!

The crocodile and the tari birds make a real successful deal. Each of them, cooperating with each other, solves its problem. Crocodile - removes stuck pieces of food so that the teeth do not rot and do not hurt. And the bird Tari - finds food for life. It is not profitable for a crocodile to offend small birds. If he eats some crumbs, the rest will no longer trust him. And no one will agree to help a huge crocodile solve his problem with brushing his teeth.

If you need to sell something, look for those who will benefit from buying your product. Find those who themselves feel the need for your product.

If you sell plastic windows, look for customers in areas where there are old wooden windows. And don't waste your time on those clients who don't need your services. In order to conclude a successful transaction, each of the parties must receive a win. Moreover, this gain should be equal. Otherwise, your buyer will go to a competitor who will offer a greater benefit.

Thought #7. The beast is not as scary as it is painted.

All animals were afraid of the crocodile, because it is evil, big and toothy. But if they looked at the problem of the crocodile from the other side, they could easily overcome their fear.

Very often, subordinates are afraid of their leaders, new salespeople are afraid to call strangers, and so on.

But in order for the manager to raise your salary himself, offer him to help solve the problem of the company, which worries the manager now, which no one else can solve, the solution of which is not your responsibility. When both parties win, the likelihood of a successful deal always increases significantly.

To get what you want from a person, offer him a solution to his own problem. And if your decision is strong, then he will agree to your terms even if, at first glance, he would not even talk to you.

Thought #8. Even the most terrible can be helpless.

Every second in life, something happens. Nothing is permanent. Everything is changing.

And if today you are at the top, tomorrow you can be at the very bottom. If today you frighten and intimidate someone, tomorrow these people will refuse to help you.

The crocodile frightened and offended everyone. And in the end, when trouble happened to him, the frightened surrounding animals refused to help him.

Therefore, before doing something, always think about the possible consequences.

Thought #9. You cannot change the people around you, but you can change yourself and inspire others to do the same.

What happened before Tari the bird arrived?

The crocodile was vicious. All the animals around him rejoiced at someone else's grief and refused to help the suffering patient. This could go on indefinitely. And it would be impossible to change the attitude of the inhabitants of the jungle to each other.

Tari the bird turned out to be wise. She didn't read notes to anyone. She didn't try to change anyone. She just went and showed others her friendliness. This inspired the crocodile and all other animals.

Never try to change anyone. Change yourself and inspire those around you to change.

Thought #10. Thank you always for your help!

“Thank you very much, good bird Tari!” said the cured crocodile.

Chur, don't touch anyone today,
Let no one be scratched by a claw,
The tooth does not bite, the horn does not gore,
And why? Who can guess.
Yes, because the crocodile itself
Thank you good bird.

From that very day, the bird Tari has been friends with the crocodile. And they say that the character of the crocodile has become not so scary.

Remember! You are now the result of WHAT you did and WHO helped you in life.

Any big success is made up of small daily victories. And very often someone helped us, contributed to the achievement of these victories. (In our case, the crocodile cured his teeth thanks to the bird Tari).

Never keep words of gratitude to yourself. Always thank others for even the smallest things.

The power of gratitude is very great. Nothing in our life is random. The Universe reacts to our radiations (thoughts, words and actions): what you radiate is what you receive. The crocodile expressed his gratitude for the first time, and you will get a positive attitude from the surrounding animals. The crocodile smiled, and the animals gave their smiles in return. The crocodile gave a boon (in the form of words of gratitude), and received another boon (in the form of an offer from Tari the bird to brush his teeth every day).

Teach your child to give good to others from childhood!

Dear reader! Thank you for being you! Thank you for reading the article to the end! Thank you for giving feedback in the comments. It is you and your reaction that help me find the strength to develop the New Rich from Childhood project. Sincerely thank you for everything! ;)

P.S. My kids grow and develop next to me, because I have not been employed for a long time. How could I afford it? How did I learn to earn on maternity leave and quit my job when it ended? How do I earn now? And how can you create a similar source of income for yourself? See here and here.

Plot

In Africa, among palm trees and exotic animals, there lived a crocodile. Other animals were afraid of him, because besides the fact that he had huge teeth that he never cleaned, he also had a harmful and evil disposition. One day he began to suffer from a severe toothache. But none of the animals wanted to help him, moreover, they began to laugh at him. However, there was one small bird named Tari who helped the crocodile and brushed its teeth with its beak. The crocodile had a lot of debris in its teeth, which the bird successfully threw out, and then removed the bad tooth. Tari the bird agreed to brush the crocodile's teeth periodically. After that, the crocodile became kinder, thanked the bird and became friends with the rest of the animals.

Everyone happily sang a song:

Chur, don't touch anyone today,
Let no one be scratched by a claw,
The tooth does not bite, the horn does not gore,
And why? Who can guess?
Yes, because the crocodile itself
Thank you good bird.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing the bird Tari

[Death is saving and death is calm;
O! there is no other refuge against suffering.]
Julie said it was lovely.
- II y a quelque chose de si ravissant dans le sourire de la melancolie, [There is something infinitely charming in a smile of melancholy,] - she said to Boris word for word the passage written out from the book.
- C "est un rayon de lumiere dans l" ombre, une nuance entre la douleur et le desespoir, qui montre la consolation possible. [This is a ray of light in the shadows, a shade between sadness and despair, which indicates the possibility of consolation.] - To this, Boris wrote poetry to her:
"Aliment de poison d" une ame trop sensible,
"Toi, sans qui le bonheur me serait impossible,
"Tendre melancolie, ah, viens me consoler,
Viens calmer les tourments de ma sombre retraite
"Et mele une douceur secrete
"A ces pleurs, que je sens couler."
[Poisonous food of a too sensitive soul,
You, without whom happiness would be impossible for me,
Gentle melancholy, oh come comfort me
Come, calm the torments of my gloomy solitude
And join the secret sweetness
To these tears that I feel flowing.]
Julie played Boris the saddest nocturnes on the harp. Boris read Poor Liza aloud to her and interrupted the reading more than once from excitement, which took his breath away. Meeting in a large society, Julie and Boris looked at each other as the only people in the world who were indifferent, who understood each other.
Anna Mikhailovna, who often traveled to the Karagins, making up her mother's party, meanwhile made accurate inquiries about what was given for Julie (both Penza estates and Nizhny Novgorod forests were given). Anna Mikhailovna, with devotion to the will of Providence and tenderness, looked at the refined sadness that connected her son with rich Julie.
- Toujours charmante et melancolique, cette chere Julieie, [She is still charming and melancholic, this dear Julie.] - she said to her daughter. - Boris says that he rests his soul in your house. He has suffered so many disappointments and is so sensitive,” she told her mother.
“Ah, my friend, how I have become attached to Julie lately,” she said to her son, “I cannot describe to you! And who can't love her? This is such an unearthly creature! Oh Boris, Boris! She was silent for a minute. “And how I feel sorry for her maman,” she continued, “today she showed me reports and letters from Penza (they have a huge estate) and she is poor and all alone: she is so deceived!
Boris smiled slightly, listening to his mother. He meekly laughed at her ingenuous cunning, but he listened and sometimes asked her attentively about the Penza and Nizhny Novgorod estates.
Julie had long been expecting an offer from her melancholic admirer and was ready to accept it; but some kind of secret feeling of disgust for her, for her passionate desire to get married, for her unnaturalness, and a feeling of horror at the renunciation of the possibility of true love still stopped Boris. His vacation was already over. Whole days and every single day he spent with the Karagins, and every day, reasoning with himself, Boris told himself that he would propose tomorrow. But in the presence of Julie, looking at her red face and chin, almost always strewn with powder, at her moist eyes and at the expression on her face, which always showed readiness to immediately move from melancholy to the unnatural rapture of marital happiness, Boris could not utter a decisive word: despite the fact that for a long time in his imagination he considered himself the owner of the Penza and Nizhny Novgorod estates and distributed the use of income from them. Julie saw Boris's indecisiveness and sometimes the thought came to her that she was disgusting to him; but immediately a woman's self-delusion offered her consolation, and she told herself that he was shy only out of love. Her melancholy, however, began to turn into irritability, and not long before Boris left, she undertook a decisive plan. At the same time that Boris' vacation was coming to an end, Anatole Kuragin appeared in Moscow and, of course, in the Karagins' living room, and Julie, suddenly leaving her melancholy, became very cheerful and attentive to Kuragin.
“Mon cher,” Anna Mikhailovna said to her son, “je sais de bonne source que le Prince Basile envoie son fils a Moscou pour lui faire epouser Julieie.” [My dear, I know from reliable sources that Prince Vasily is sending his son to Moscow in order to marry him to Julie.] I love Julie so much that I should feel sorry for her. What do you think, my friend? Anna Mikhailovna said.

I read on the Internet about a bird named stilt (Himantopus himantopus), which allegedly adapted to look for food in the teeth of formidable hippos and crocodiles. About the existence of stilts is pure truth, and he is very similar to the cartoon bird Tari. But if the truth is about crocodiles and hippos, then there must be photo confirmation of this interesting fact. And I didn't find one. It is unlikely that stilt walkers clean the teeth of crocodiles.
I remembered the bird Tari watching the blackbird. The thrush moved swiftly along the narrow pavement groove and pulled out compacted rubbish from it. The hitherto clean pavement remained visibly unkempt behind the thrush. Drozd was so carried away that he did not pay attention to me at all and did not even hear how I greeted him.
- Hi! What are you doing? Why are you taking out all this garbage?
I was in no hurry, so I decided to wait and see how this outrage will end.
And this is how it ended.

But what if there are stone and asphalt around?
Such is the thrush. Pevun, by the way, is very diligent.
