The Mysterious Gift: Vanya and His Friends Look for a Secret Giver

One day, Vanya came into the kindergarten and found a small, beautifully wrapped gift on his table. He was surprised because it wasn’t his birthday, and he wasn’t expecting any surprises. The gift was wrapped in colorful paper with a red ribbon, and next to it lay a card that read, “A surprise for Vanya!”

Curious, Vanya picked up the gift, but he couldn’t figure out who had left it. There was no name on the card, and this only made him more curious. Lisa and Pasha, noticing the gift, came over to Vanya and started asking questions. Lisa guessed that a friend might have left it, while Pasha thought it might be from their teacher, Anna Petrovna.

Vanya decided that they should solve this mystery together and figure out who had left him the gift. He opened the wrapping and found a small toy car and some chocolate candies inside. Vanya was delighted with the gift, but now he wanted even more to find out who had given it to him. Lisa and Pasha happily agreed to help him with this exciting investigation.

They decided to start with Anna Petrovna and went straight to her. Vanya showed her the gift and asked if she had left it for him. Anna Petrovna smiled and said that it wasn’t her gift, but she praised their curiosity and desire to find the truth. She suggested they ask other children in the group, as perhaps someone would know the answer.

The children went to their friend Misha, who was known for giving little presents to other kids. They asked him if he had left the car and candies for Vanya. Misha shook his head and said that the gift wasn’t from him, but he promised to help them find the secret giver. Vanya thanked him and felt that this little mystery was becoming more and more exciting.

Next, they approached their friend Dasha, who often brought interesting things to the kindergarten. Dasha looked at the car and the candies and said with a smile that it wasn’t her gift, but she loved the idea of finding out who it was. She suggested they look for clues or hints that might help them find the answer.

Vanya, Lisa, and Pasha examined the box and the card carefully but couldn’t find any clues. Vanya was nearly ready to give up, thinking he might never find out who had given him the gift. But the children didn’t give up and started thinking about who else might be able to help them.

They soon went to their friend Kirill, who was very observant. Vanya showed him the card and the car, and Kirill examined them carefully. Suddenly, he noticed a small sticker on the box with stars on it. He said that such stickers had recently been handed out by children from the older group. Vanya remembered that one of the older boys, Sasha, often helped the kids in kindergarten and was a kind friend.

The friends decided that Sasha might be the giver and went to him. When they showed Sasha the box with the stickers, he smiled and admitted that he had indeed wanted to surprise Vanya. He explained that he had seen how much Vanya enjoyed toy cars and wanted to make him happy. Vanya thanked Sasha and was thrilled to have solved the mystery.

Moral: Sometimes, small gifts can bring great joy and happiness. By making surprises and bringing joy to friends, we show how important kindness and thoughtfulness are. Friendships grow stronger when we share kindness and gratitude with one another, as such moments stay with us for a long time.
