Very funny and at the same time very instructive.the story “Barankin, be a man!” was created in 1961 by the Soviet writer Valery Vladimirovich Medvedev. This amazing story will tell about the adventures of two friends - classmates-losers Yura Barankina and Kostya Malinin, who once suddenly was unwilling to learn.
It all started with the fact that Barankin and Maliningot twos on geometry. The class leader Zinka Fokina on this occasion has developed a hectic activity. An evil wall newspaper was created, onto which the faces of these two ill-fated boys with barbed inscriptions were stuck.
But this is only the beginning of the work “Barankin, beman! ”The summary further turns around a demonstration assembly, more precisely, not a meeting, but a very serious conversation. What did they not hear about themselves Barankin and Malinin! As a result, it was decided that on Sunday, the excellent student Mishka Yakovlev would work with the newly-born losers. With him they will solve problems. And then everyone will go to the school garden to plant trees. The boys were ashamed, but they had nowhere to go. At the end of the meeting, the same annoying Fokina approaches them and says: “Barankin, be a man, urgently fix the bones of the two!”
And then fantastic events happenin the work “Barankin, be a man!” A summary of the chapters tells about those unfortunate adventures in which our heroes constantly barely carried off their feet from danger.
So, in the very first chapters Barankin and Malinin got a good beating. Barankin was so dumbfounded and offended that he no longer wanted to be a man.
And then came Sunday.And suddenly Barankin persuades Malinin with the help of simple actions and spells to turn into sparrows. And so it happened. Now the two of them are sitting on a branch and they think: “Here it is, a real carefree life!” But it was not that much that it was carefree. Having seen their prey, Muska the cat, who wanted to eat them, chased after them. Then an old sparrow also flew at them, which began to raise them in its own way. After them, their neighbor Venka Smirnov began to chase with a slingshot. And then mother-sparrow appeared, who recognized in them her little sons and made them learn to build a nest. Daddy-sparrow himself flew behind her. And then they all rushed to fight with other sparrows over the nesting box with all their large passerine family.
But the work does not end there.“Barankin, be a man!” A summary of it only enters the acute phase of its development. Disappointed in the sparrow life, the boys wanted to become butterflies. And again the trick with reincarnation turned out. Only Barankin became a kabustnik, and Malinin was a machaon. Now they were incredibly happy that they would flit carelessly from one flower to another.
But again it was not there, they immediately spottedThe bully is a tailless sparrow. Barely having had time to escape from this feathered one, the butterflies wanted to eat so much that they were dizzy from the smell of pollen. Then they heard someone's footsteps and cries, these were their classmates with shovels who were already chasing butterflies, thinking that these were harmful silkworms. Barankin and Malinin suddenly wanted to see their friends so much, without even knowing why, because the guys were working on the plot, and Fokina gave them all sorts of orders. But then the bee began to chase after the butterflies Barankin and Malinin.
Then it was even harder for the heroes of the work.“Barankin, be a man!” The summary continues because they barely escaped from this terrible bee, when suddenly ants appeared. And immediately our heroes wanted to become ants. But then they thought that the ants were constantly working, and they immediately became reluctant. But now Barankin wanted to become a drone. And then suddenly the mahaon-Malinin fell asleep, Barankin could not wake him up at all! And then there was Fokina and the boys again. Seeing a beautiful swallowtail, she wanted to put him in the stain. In general, barely, but Barankin beat the swallowtail away from Fokina, and they flew far from sight, just to get away. These heroes suffered much, but continued their reincarnations.
Then they turned into ants, and here in themrevealed such performance that they themselves were scared. They began to work from morning to evening, until they were eaten by a swift, and they again regained consciousness of people. In general, a lot of things had to go through and suffer these unintelligent guys, until they realized that it was best to be human.
And this is the end of the story “Barankin, beman! ”The summary of the book shows that it was thanks to all these reincarnations and adventures that the guys developed a sense of responsibility for their work. Then they did not allow themselves to be lazy, but with pleasure they did everything that the school and parents demanded from them.
