Short stories. Best short stories for kids

The boy Yasha always liked to climb everywhere and climb into everything. As soon as some suitcase or box was brought, Yasha immediately found himself in it.

And he climbed into all sorts of bags. And in closets. And under the tables.

Mom often said:

- I'm afraid, I'll come with him to the post office, he will get into some empty parcel, and he will be sent to Kyzyl-Orda.

He got very good for it.

And then Yasha took a new fashion - he began to fall from everywhere. When it was distributed in the house:

- Eh! - everyone understood that Yasha had fallen from somewhere. And the louder the “uh” was, the greater was the height from which Yasha flew. For example, mother hears:

- Eh! - so it's no big deal. This Yasha just fell off the stool.

If you hear:

- Eee! - so it's a very serious matter. It was Yasha who plopped down from the table. I need to go and look at his bumps. And on a visit, Yasha climbed everywhere, and even tried to climb on the shelves in the store.

One day my dad said:

- Yasha, if you climb somewhere else, I don’t know what I will do with you. I'll tie you to the vacuum cleaner with ropes. And you will walk everywhere with a vacuum cleaner. And you will go to the store with your mother with a vacuum cleaner, and in the yard you will play in the sand tied to a vacuum cleaner.

Yasha was so frightened that after these words he did not climb anywhere for half a day.

And then, nevertheless, he climbed onto the table with his dad and crashed together with the phone. Dad took it and actually tied it to a vacuum cleaner.

Yasha walks around the house, and the vacuum cleaner follows him like a dog. And he goes to the store with his mother with a vacuum cleaner, and plays in the yard. Very uncomfortable. Neither you climb the fence, nor ride a bicycle.

But Yasha learned to turn on the vacuum cleaner. Now instead of "uh" constantly began to be heard "uu".

As soon as mom sits down to knit socks for Yasha, when all of a sudden all over the house - "oooooo." Mom is jumping up and down.

We decided to make a good deal. Yasha was untied from the vacuum cleaner. And he promised not to climb anywhere else. Papa said:

- This time, Yasha, I will be stricter. I'll tie you to a stool. And I'll nail the stool to the floor with nails. And you will live with a stool, like a dog in a booth.

Yasha was very afraid of such a punishment.

But just then a very wonderful case turned up - they bought a new wardrobe.

First, Yasha climbed into the closet. He sat in the closet for a long time, banging his forehead against the walls. This is an interesting thing. Then he got bored and got out.

He decided to climb into the closet.

Yasha moved the dining table to the closet and climbed on it. But he did not reach the top of the cabinet.

Then he put a light chair on the table. He climbed onto the table, then onto a chair, then onto the back of a chair, and began to climb onto the closet. Already half gone.

And then the chair slipped out from under his foot and fell to the floor. But Yasha remained half on the closet, half in the air.

Somehow he climbed onto the closet and fell silent. Try telling your mom

- Oh, mom, I'm sitting on the closet!

Mom will immediately transfer him to a stool. And he will live like a dog all his life near a stool.

Here he sits and is silent. Five minutes, ten minutes, five more minutes. All in all, almost a month. And Yasha slowly began to cry.

And mom hears: Yasha can’t hear something.

And if Yasha is not heard, then Yasha is doing something wrong. Either he chews matches, or he climbed into the aquarium knee-deep, or he draws Cheburashka on his father's papers.

Mom began to look in different places. And in the closet, and in the nursery, and in my father's office. And everything is in order: dad works, the clock is ticking. And if there is order everywhere, then something difficult must have happened to Yasha. Something extraordinary.

Mom screams:

- Yasha, where are you?

Yasha is silent.

- Yasha, where are you?

Yasha is silent.

Then my mother began to think. He sees a chair on the floor. He sees that the table is not in place. He sees - Yasha is sitting on the closet.

Mom asks:

- Well, Yasha, are you going to sit on the closet all your life or will we get down?

Yasha doesn't want to go down. He is afraid that he will be tied to a stool.

He says:

- I won't get down.

Mom says:

- Okay, let's live on the closet. Now I'll bring you lunch.

She brought Yasha soup in a bowl, a spoon and bread, and a small table and a stool.

Yasha had lunch on the cupboard.

Then his mother brought him a pot on the closet. Yasha was sitting on the potty.

And in order to wipe his ass, my mother had to get up on the table herself.

At this time, two boys came to visit Yasha.

Mom asks:

- Well, should you give Kolya and Vitya a closet?

Yasha says:

- Submit.

And then dad couldn’t stand it from his office:

- Now I myself will come to visit him on the closet. Yes, not one, but with a strap. Remove it from the cabinet immediately.

They took Yasha out of the closet, and he says:

- Mom, I didn’t get off because I’m afraid of stools. My dad promised to tie me to a stool.

“Oh, Yasha,” says mom, “you are still small. You don't understand jokes. Go play with the guys.

And Yasha understood jokes.

But he also understood that dad did not like to joke.

He can easily tie Yasha to a stool. And Yasha did not climb anywhere else.

Yasha was good to everyone, he just ate badly. All the time with concerts. Either mom sings to him, or dad shows tricks. And he gets along:

- I do not want.

Mom says:

- Yasha, eat porridge.

- I do not want.

Papa says:

- Yasha, drink juice!

- I do not want.

Mom and dad got tired of persuading him every time. And then my mother read in one scientific pedagogical book that children should not be persuaded to eat. It is necessary to put a plate of porridge in front of them and wait for them to get hungry and eat everything.

They put, put plates in front of Yasha, but he does not eat and does not eat anything. He doesn't eat meatballs, soup, or porridge. He became thin and dead, like a straw.

- Yasha, eat porridge!

- I do not want.

- Yasha, eat soup!

- I do not want.

Previously, his pants were hard to fasten, but now he dangled completely freely in them. It was possible to launch another Yasha into these pants.

And then one day a strong wind blew.

And Yasha played on the site. He was very light, and the wind rolled him around the site. Rolled up to the wire mesh fence. And there Yasha got stuck.

So he sat, pressed against the fence by the wind, for an hour.

Mom calls:

- Yasha, where are you? Go home with the soup to suffer.

But he doesn't go. He is not even heard. He not only became dead himself, but his voice became dead. Nothing is heard that he squeaks there.

And he squeaks:

- Mom, take me away from the fence!

Mom began to worry - where did Yasha go? Where to look for it? Yasha is not seen and not heard.

Dad said this:

- I think our Yasha was rolled away somewhere by the wind. Come on, mom, we'll take the pot of soup out onto the porch. The wind will blow and the smell of soup will bring to Yasha. On this delicious smell, he will crawl.

Valentin Berestov

There was a time when birds couldn't sing.

And suddenly they learned that in one distant country there lives an old, wise man who teaches music.

Then the birds sent the Stork and the Nightingale to him to check whether this was so.

The stork was in a hurry. He was eager to become the world's first musician.

He was in such a hurry that he ran to the sage and did not even knock on the door, did not greet the old man, and with all his might shouted directly into his ear:

Hey old man! Come on, teach me music!

But the sage decided to teach him politeness first.

He led Stork outside the threshold, knocked on the door and said:

You have to do it like this.

All clear! - Aist was delighted.

Is this the music? - and flew away to quickly surprise the world with his art.

The nightingale came later with its little wings.

He timidly knocked on the door, said hello, apologized for the trouble and said that he really wanted to study music.

The sage liked the friendly bird. And he taught the nightingale everything he knew himself.

Since then, the modest Nightingale has become the best singer in the world.

And the eccentric Stork can only knock with his beak. Moreover, he boasts and teaches other birds:

Hey, do you hear? You have to do it like this, like this! This is real music! If you don't believe me, ask the old sage.

How to find a track

Valentin Berestov

The children went to visit their grandfather, a forester. Went and got lost.

They look, Belka is jumping over them. From tree to tree. From tree to tree.

Guys - to her:

Squirrel, Squirrel, tell me, Squirrel, Squirrel, show me How to find the path To the grandfather's lodge?

Very simple, Belka answers.

Jump from this Christmas tree to that one, from that one to a crooked birch. From the curve of the birch, a large, large oak tree is visible. The roof is visible from the top of the oak tree. This is the guardhouse. Well, what are you? Jump!

Thanks Belka! - say the guys. “But we can’t jump up trees. We'd better ask someone else.

Jumping Hare. The children sang their song to him:

Bunny Bunny, tell me, Bunny, Bunny, show How to find the path To the grandfather's lodge?

To the gatehouse? - asked the Hare. - There is nothing easier. At first it will smell like mushrooms. So? Then - hare cabbage. So? Then it will smell like a fox hole. So? Skip this smell to the right or left. So? When he is behind, sniff like this and you will smell the smoke. Jump straight to it without turning anywhere. This grandfather-forester puts a samovar.

Thank you, Bunny, the guys say. - It's a pity that our noses are not as sensitive as yours. You'll have to ask someone else.

They see a snail crawling.

Hey, Snail, tell me, Hey, Snail, show me How to find the path To the grandfather's lodge?

Tell for a long time, - Snail sighed. - Lu-u-better I'll take you there-u-u. Follow me.

Thank you Snail! - say the guys. We don't have time to crawl. We'd better ask someone else.

A bee sits on a flower.

Guys to her:

Bee, Bee, tell me, Bee, Bee, show me How to find the path To grandfather's lodge?

Well, well, - says the bee. - I'll show you... Look where I'm flying. Follow along. See my sisters. Where they are, there you are. We bring honey to grandfather's apiary. Well, goodbye! I'm in a terribly hurry. Well...

And flew away. The kids didn't even have time to thank her. They went to where the bees flew and quickly found a lodge. That was joy! And then grandfather treated them to tea with honey.

Honest caterpillar

Valentin Berestov

The caterpillar considered itself very beautiful and did not miss a single drop of dew so as not to look into it.

How good am I! - the Caterpillar rejoiced, looking with pleasure at her flat face and arching her shaggy back to see two golden stripes on it.

Too bad no one notices this.

But one day she got lucky. A girl walked through the meadow and picked flowers. The caterpillar climbed onto the most beautiful flower and waited.

That's disgusting! Even looking at you is disgusting!

Ah well! - Caterpillar got angry. - Then I give my honest caterpillar word that no one, ever, anywhere, for anything and for no reason, in any case, under no circumstances will see me again!

I gave my word - you need to keep it, even if you are a Caterpillar. And the caterpillar crawled up the tree. From trunk to branch, from branch to branch, from branch to branch, from branch to branch, from branch to leaf.

She took out a silk thread from her belly and began to wrap herself around it. She labored for a long time and finally made a cocoon.

Wow, how tired I am! sighed the Caterpillar. - Totally screwed up.

It was warm and dark in the cocoon, there was nothing else to do, and the Caterpillar fell asleep.

She woke up because her back was itching terribly. Then the Caterpillar began to rub against the walls of the cocoon. Rubbed, rubbed, rubbed them through and fell out.

But she fell somehow strange - not down, but up.

And then the Caterpillar in the same meadow saw the same girl.

"Horrible! thought the Caterpillar. - Even though I'm not beautiful, it's not my fault, but now everyone will know that I'm also a liar. I gave an honest caterpillar that no one would see me, and did not restrain him. A shame!" And the caterpillar fell into the grass.

And the girl saw her and said:

Such a beauty!

So trust people, - the Caterpillar grumbled.

Today they say one thing, tomorrow they say something completely different.

Just in case, she looked into the dewdrop. What? In front of her is an unfamiliar face with a long, long mustache.

The caterpillar tried to bend its back and saw that large multi-colored wings appeared on its back.

Ah, that's what! she guessed. - A miracle happened to me. The most ordinary miracle: I became a Butterfly!

This happens. And she spun merrily over the meadow, because she did not give an honest butterfly word that no one would see her.

Magic word

V.A. Oseeva

A little old man with a long gray beard was sitting on a bench and drawing something in the sand with an umbrella.
. “Move over,” Pavlik told him and sat down on the edge.
The old man moved aside and, looking at the red, angry face of the boy, said:
- Has something happened to you? - Well, okay! And what about you?” Pavlik squinted at him.

"I'm going to my grandmother. She's just cooking. Drive or not?
Pavlik opened the door to the kitchen. The old woman was taking hot cakes off the baking sheet.
The grandson ran up to her, turned his red wrinkled face with both hands, looked into her eyes and whispered:
- Give me a piece of pie... please.
Grandma straightened up. The magic word shone in every wrinkle, in the eyes, in the smile.
- Hot ... hot hot, my dear! - she kept saying, choosing the best, ruddy pie.
Pavlik jumped for joy and kissed her on both cheeks.
"Wizard! Wizard!" he repeated to himself, remembering the old man.
At dinner, Pavlik sat hushed and listened to his brother's every word. When the brother said that he was going to go boating, Pavlik put his hand on his shoulder and quietly asked:
- Take me, please. Everyone around the table went silent.
The brother raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
“Take it,” said the sister suddenly. - What are you worth!
- Well, why not take it? Grandma smiled. - Of course, take it.
"Please," Pavlik repeated.

The brother laughed out loud, patted the boy on the shoulder, tousled his hair:
- Oh, you traveler! Okay, get going!
“Helped! Helped again!
Pavlik jumped out from behind the table and ran out into the street. But the old man was no longer in the square.
The bench was empty, and only incomprehensible signs drawn by an umbrella remained on the sand.

Badly

V.A. Oseeva
The dog barked furiously, falling on its front paws.

Directly in front of her, nestled against the fence, sat a small disheveled kitten. He opened his mouth wide and meowed plaintively.

Two boys stood nearby and waited to see what would happen.

A woman looked out the window and hurriedly ran out onto the porch. She drove the dog away and angrily called out to the boys:

Shame on you!

What's embarrassing? We didn't do anything! the boys were surprised.

This is bad! the woman replied angrily.

What is easier

V.A. Oseeva
Three boys went into the forest. Mushrooms, berries, birds in the forest. The boys were walking.

Didn't notice how the day went by. They go home - they are afraid:

Get us home!

So they stopped on the road and think what is better: to lie or to tell the truth?

I will say, - says the first, - as if a wolf attacked me in the forest.

The father will be frightened and will not scold.

I will say, - says the second, - that I met my grandfather.

The mother will be delighted and will not scold me.

And I'll tell the truth, - says the third one. - It's always easier to tell the truth, because it's the truth and you don't need to invent anything.

Here they all went home.

As soon as the first boy told his father about the wolf - look, the forest watchman is coming.

No, he says, there are wolves in these places. Father got angry. For the first guilt he got angry, and for a lie - twice.

The second boy told about his grandfather. And grandfather is right there - he is coming to visit. Mother learned the truth. For the first guilt I got angry, and for a lie - twice.

And the third boy, as soon as he came, he confessed everything from the threshold. My aunt grumbled at him and forgave him.

Good

V.A. Oseeva

Yurik woke up in the morning. Looked out the window. The sun is shining. The money is good. And the boy wanted to do something good himself.

Here he sits and thinks: “What if my sister was drowning, and I would save her!”

And my sister is right there:

Walk with me, Yura!

Go away, don't stop thinking! The sister got offended and left.

And Yura thinks: “Now, if the wolves attacked the nanny, and I would shoot them!”

And the nanny is right there:

Put away the dishes, Yurochka.

Clean it yourself - I have no time! The nurse shook her head.

And Yura again thinks: “Now, if Trezorka fell into the well, and I would pull him out!”

Trezorka is right there. Tail wags: “Give me a drink, Yura!”

Go away! Don't stop thinking! Trezorka closed his mouth, climbed into the bushes.

And Yura went to his mother:

What would be good for me to do? Mom patted Yura on the head:

Take a walk with your sister, help the nanny clean the dishes, give some water to Trezor.

sons

V.A. Oseeva

Two women were drawing water from a well.

A third one approached them. And the old old man sat down on a pebble to rest.

This is what one woman says to another:

My son is dexterous and strong, no one can cope with him.

And the third is silent. - Why don't you tell about your son? - her neighbors ask.

What can I say? - says the woman. - There is nothing special about him.

So the women took full buckets and went. And the old man is behind them.

Women go and stop. My hands hurt, water splashes, my back hurts. Suddenly, three boys run out towards me.

One tumbles over his head, walks with a wheel - women admire him.

He sings another song, fills himself with a nightingale - his women listened.

And the third ran up to the mother, took heavy buckets from her and dragged them.

The women ask the old man:

Well? What are our sons?

Where are they? - answers the old man. - I see only one son!

blue leaves

V.A. Oseeva

Katya had two green pencils. But Lena has none. So Lena asks Katya:

Give me a green pencil.

And Katya says:

I'll ask my mom.

Both girls come to school the next day.

Lena asks:

Did mom let you?

And Katya sighed and said:

Mom allowed me, but I didn’t ask my brother.

Well, ask your brother again, - says Lena.

Katya comes the next day.

Well, did your brother let you? - asks Lena.

My brother allowed me, but I'm afraid you'll break your pencil.

I'm careful, - says Lena.

Look, says Katya, don't fix it, don't press hard, don't take it in your mouth. Don't draw too much.

I, - says Lena, - only need to draw leaves on the trees and green grass.

This is a lot, - says Katya, and she frowns her eyebrows. And she made a disgusted face. Lena looked at her and walked away. I didn't take a pencil. Katya was surprised, ran after her:

Well, what are you? Take it! - Don't, - replies Lena.

At the lesson, the teacher asks: - Why do you, Lenochka, have blue leaves on the trees?

No green pencil.

Why didn't you take it from your girlfriend?

Lena is silent.

And Katya blushed like a cancer and said:

I gave it to her, but she won't take it.

The teacher looked at both:

You have to give so that you can take.

On the rink

V.A. Oseeva

The day was sunny. Ice glittered. There were few people at the rink.

The little girl, with her arms outstretched in a comical way, rode from bench to bench.

Two schoolchildren tied up their skates and looked at Vitya.

Vitya performed various tricks - either riding on one leg, or spinning around like a top.

Well done! one of the boys called out to him.

Vitya darted around the circle like an arrow, famously turned around and ran into the girl.

The girl fell.

Vitya was scared.

I accidentally ... - he said, shaking off the snow from her fur coat.

Hurt?

The girl smiled.

Knee...

There was laughter from behind. "They're laughing at me!" thought Vitya and turned away from the girl in annoyance.

Eka unseen - the knee! What a crybaby! - he shouted, driving past schoolchildren.

Come to us! they called. Vitya approached them. Hand in hand, all three glided merrily across the ice.

And the girl was sitting on the bench, rubbing her bruised knee and crying.

The ability to retell the text not only demonstrates the level of development of speech, but also shows how much the child is able to understand and analyze the text he has heard or read. But for children, retelling the text often causes difficulties. How can you help your child overcome them?

There are two main reasons why a child may have difficulty retelling a text: these are problems with the development of speech or problems with understanding, analyzing and formulating what they hear. In the first case, the emphasis should be placed precisely on the development of speech and this should be done not with the help of retelling, but with the help of simpler games for the development of speech. But in the second case, it is necessary to train the child’s ability to retell the text.

We bring to your attention short stories with which you can easily teach your child to retell texts.

HOW THE BEAR SCARED HIMSELF.

N. Sladkov.

The bear entered the forest. A dry twig crunched under his heavy paw. A squirrel on a branch was frightened and dropped a bump from its paws. A bump fell and hit the hare on the forehead. The hare jumped up and rushed into the thick of the forest. I jumped on forty, jumped out from under the bushes. Those screams were raised throughout the forest. Elk heard. Moose went through the forest to break the bushes.

FIRE DOGS.

L.N. Tolstoy.

It often happens that children remain in houses on fires in cities and cannot be pulled out, because they will hide and remain silent from fright, and they cannot be seen from the smoke. For this, dogs are trained in London. These dogs live with the firemen, and when the house catches fire, the firemen send the dogs to pull the children out. One such dog saved twelve children, her name was Bob.

The house caught fire once. When firefighters arrived at the house, a woman ran out to them. She cried and said that a two-year-old girl remained in the house. The firemen sent Bob. Bob ran up the stairs and disappeared into the smoke. Five minutes later he ran out of the house, and in his teeth he carried the girl by the shirt. The mother rushed to her daughter and wept for joy that her daughter was alive.

The firemen petted the dog and examined it for burns; but Bob was rushing into the house. The firemen thought there was still something alive in the house and let him in. The dog ran into the house and soon ran out with something in his mouth. When the people saw what she had carried, everyone burst out laughing: she was carrying a large doll.

OSEEVA. BLUE LEAVES

Katya had two green pencils. But Lena has none. So Lena asks Katya:

Give me a green pencil. And Katya says:

I'll ask my mom.

Both girls come to school the next day. Lena asks:

Did mom let you?

And Katya sighed and said:

Mom allowed me, but I didn’t ask my brother.

Well, ask your brother again, - says Lena. Katya comes the next day.

Well, did your brother let you? - asks Lena.

My brother allowed me, but I'm afraid you'll break your pencil.

I'm careful, - says Lena.

Look, - says Katya, - don't fix it, don't press hard, don't take it in your mouth. Don't draw too much.

I, - says Lena, - only need to draw leaves on the trees and green grass.

This is a lot, - says Katya, and she frowns her eyebrows. And she made a disgusted face. Lena looked at her and walked away. I didn't take a pencil. Katya was surprised, ran after her:

Well, what are you? Take it!

No, Lena replies. In class, the teacher asks:

Why do you, Lenochka, have blue leaves on the trees?

No green pencil.

Why didn't you take it from your girlfriend? Lena is silent. And Katya blushed like a cancer and said:

I gave it to her, but she won't take it. The teacher looked at both:

You have to give so that you can take.

OSEEVA. POORLY

The dog barked furiously, falling on its front paws. Directly in front of her, nestled against the fence, sat a small disheveled kitten. He opened his mouth wide and mewed plaintively. Two boys stood nearby and waited to see what would happen.

A woman looked out the window and hurriedly ran out onto the porch. She drove the dog away and angrily called out to the boys:

Shame on you!

What's embarrassing? We didn't do anything! the boys were surprised.

This is bad! the woman replied angrily.

That's how smart you are!

One day he asked, as usual, holding a pencil at the ready:

Well, what are your accomplishments?

Tanya was washing the dishes and broke the cup, - said the grandmother.

Hmm... - said the father.

Dad! Tanya pleaded. - The cup was bad, it fell by itself! Do not write about it in our achievements! Write simply: Tanya washed the dishes!

Good! Dad laughed. - Let's punish this cup so that the next time, when washing dishes, the other one was more careful!

OSEEVA. WATCHMAN

There were a lot of toys in the kindergarten. Clockwork steam locomotives ran along the rails, airplanes hummed in the room, elegant dolls lay in carriages.

My! My! he shouted, covering the toys with his hands.

The children did not argue - there were enough toys for everyone.

How well we play! How fun we are! - the guys boasted to the teacher.

But I am bored! the boy shouted from his corner.

Why? - the teacher was surprised. - You have so many toys!

But the boy could not explain why he was bored.

Yes, because he is not a player, but a watchman, - the children explained for him.

Mom poured cookies onto the plate. Grandmother jingled her cups merrily. Everyone sat down at the table. Vova pushed the plate towards him.

Delhi one at a time,” Misha said sternly.

Smooth? - asked Vova.

Misha measured the piles with his eyes:

Exactly ... Grandma, pour us some tea!

Grandmother served them both tea. The table was quiet. The piles of biscuits were shrinking fast.

Crumbly! Sweet! Misha said.

Yes! Vova responded with his mouth full.

Mother and grandmother were silent. When all the cookies were eaten, Vova took a deep breath, patted his stomach and got out from behind the table. Misha finished the last piece and looked at his mother - she was stirring the tea she had not started with a spoon. He looked at his grandmother - she was chewing a crust of black bread ...

Tolya stepped out onto the stairs. On the playground, one of his offenders, the neighbor boy Sasha, was looking for something.

My mother gave me a coin for bread, and I lost it,” he explained gloomily. - Don't come here, or you'll trample!

Tolya remembered what his mother had said to him in the morning, and hesitantly suggested:

Let's eat together!

The boys began to search together. Sasha was lucky: under the stairs in the very corner a silver coin flashed.

There she is! Sasha rejoiced. - Frightened us and found! Thank you. Come out to the yard. The guys are not touched! Now I'm just running for bread!

He slid down the railing. From the dark flight of stairs came a merry voice:

You-ho-di!..

Everything, everything that the guys asked for, Vitya has had it for a long time ... He even has nothing to wish for ... But uncle will bring every boy and every girl a new toy, and only for him, Vitya, he will not bring anything ...

No, mine, - Vanya was angry, - I bandaged her paw and dragged tasty pieces for her!

Alyosha's parents usually returned home late after work. He came home from school on his own, warmed up his lunch, did his homework, played and waited for mom and dad. Twice more a week Alyosha went to a music school, she was very close to the school. From early childhood, the boy got used to the fact that his parents work hard, but he never complained, he understood that they were trying for him.

Nadia has always been an example for her younger brother. An excellent student at school, she still managed to study at a music school and help her mother at home. She had many friends in the class, they went to visit each other and sometimes even did homework together. But for the class teacher Natalya Petrovna, Nadia was the best: she always managed to do everything, but she also helped others. There was only talk both at school and at home about what “Nadya is a smart girl, what an assistant, what Nadya is a smart girl.” Nadia was pleased to hear such words, because it was not in vain that people praised her.

Little Zhenya was a very greedy boy, he used to bring sweets to the kindergarten and did not share with anyone. And to all the remarks of Zhenya's teacher, the parents answered like this: "Zhenya is still too small to share with someone, so let him grow up a little, then he will understand."

Petya was the most pugnacious boy in the class. He constantly pulled the girls' pigtails, and tripped the boys. Not that he really liked it, but, as he believed, it made him stronger than the rest of the guys, and this, of course, was pleasant to realize. But there was a downside to this behavior: no one wanted to be friends with him. Especially went to Petya's neighbor on the desk - Kolya. He was an excellent student, but he never allowed Petya to cheat at his place and did not prompt him on the control ones, so Petya was offended by him for this.

Spring has come. In the city, the snow turned gray, began to settle, and cheerful drops came from the roofs. Outside the city was a forest. Winter still reigned there, and the sun's rays barely made their way through the thick branches of the spruce. But then one day something stirred under the snow. A stream appeared. He murmured merrily, trying to get through the blocks of snow up to the sun.

The bus was stuffy and very crowded. He was squeezed from all sides, and he already regretted a hundred times that he decided to go to the next appointment with the doctor in the early morning. He was driving and thinking that quite recently, but in fact seventy years ago, he went by bus to school. And then the war began. He did not like to remember what he experienced there, why stir up the past. But every year on June 22, he locked himself in his apartment, did not answer his calls and did not go anywhere. He remembered those who volunteered for the front with him and did not return. The war was also a personal tragedy for him: during the fighting near Moscow and Stalingrad, his father and older brother were killed.

Despite the fact that it was only the middle of March, the snow had almost melted. Streams ran through the streets of the village, in which, overtaking each other, paper boats floated merrily. They were launched by local boys, returning home after school.

Katya dreamed about something all the time: how she would become a famous doctor, how she would fly to the moon, how she would invent something useful for all mankind. Katya also loved animals very much. At home, she had a dog Laika, a cat Marusya and two parrots, which her parents gave her for her birthday, as well as fish and a turtle.

Mom came home from work a little early today. As soon as she closed the front door, Marina immediately threw herself on her neck:
- Mom, mom! I almost got run over by a car!
- What are you doing! Come on, turn around, I'll look at you! How did it happen?

It was spring. The sun was shining very brightly, the snow had almost melted. And Misha was looking forward to summer. In June, he turned twelve years old, and his parents promised to give him a new bicycle for his birthday, which he had long dreamed of. He already had one, but Misha, as he himself liked to say, "outgrew him a long time ago." He did well in school, and his mom and dad, and sometimes grandparents, gave him money as praise for excellent behavior or good grades. Misha did not spend this money, he saved it. He had a large piggy bank where he put all the money that was given to him. Since the beginning of the school year, he had accumulated a significant amount, and the boy wanted to offer his parents this money so that they would buy him a bicycle before his birthday, he really wanted to ride.
