What did Denis ship call the river? The main rivers: Deniskin's story by Dragunsky

I slept a little in the morning, and when I jumped up, there was just a little time left... But I read how deftly firefighters dress - they don’t have a single extra movement, and I liked it so much that I spent half a summer practicing how to dress quickly. And today, as soon as I jumped up and looked at my watch, I immediately realized that I had to dress as if there was a fire. And I got dressed in one minute and forty-eight seconds, all properly, only I laced my laces through two holes. In general, I got to school on time and also managed to rush to class a second before Raisa Ivanovna. That is, she walked quietly along the corridor, and I ran from the locker room (there were no more guys). When I saw Raisa Ivanovna from afar, I ran at full speed and, not reaching the classroom some five steps, walked around Raisa Ivanovna and jumped into the classroom. In general, I won her a second and a half, and when she came in, my books were already in the desk, and I myself was sitting with Mishka as if nothing had happened. Raisa Ivanovna came in, we stood up and greeted her, and I greeted her the loudest so that she could see how polite I was. But she didn’t pay any attention to this and said as she walked:

Korablev, to the board!

My mood immediately deteriorated because I remembered that I had forgotten to prepare my homework. And I really didn’t want to get out from behind my desk. It was as if I was glued straight to her. But Raisa Ivanovna began to rush me;

Korablev! What are you doing? Am I calling you or not?

And I went to the board. Raisa Ivanovna said:

Poetry!

So that I can read the poems that are assigned. But I didn’t know them. I didn’t even know very well what the tasks were. Therefore, I instantly thought that Raisa Ivanovna, too, might have forgotten what was asked and would not notice that I was reading. And I cheerfully started:

Winter!.. The peasant, triumphant,

On firewood updates the path:

His horse smells the snow,

Trotting along somehow...

This is Pushkin,” said Raisa Ivanovna.

Yes, - I said, - this is Pushkin. Alexander Sergeevich.

What did I ask? - she said.

Yes! - I said.

What "yes"? What did I ask, I ask you? Korablev!

What? - I said.

I'm sorry, what"? I ask you: what did I ask?

Then Mishka made a naive face and said:

Doesn’t he know what you asked Nekrasov? It was he who did not understand the question, Raisa Ivanovna.

This is what a true friend means. It was Mishka who managed to give me a hint in such a cunning way. And Raisa Ivanovna was already angry:

Elephants! Don't you dare tell me!

Yes! - I said. - Why are you climbing, Mishka? Without you, I don’t know what Raisa Ivanovna asked Nekrasov! I was thinking about it, and here you are, just trying to knock it down.

The bear turned red and turned away from me. And I was again left alone with Raisa Ivanovna.

Well? - she said.

What? - I said.

Stop pooping every minute!

I already saw that she was about to get really angry.

Read. By heart!

What? - I said.

Poems, of course! - she said.

Well! - said Raisa Ivanovna.

What? - I said.

Read it now! - cried poor Raisa Ivanovna. - Read now, they tell you! Title!

While she was screaming, Mishka managed to tell me the first word. He whispered without opening his mouth, but I understood him perfectly. So I boldly put my foot forward and recited:

Little man!

Everyone fell silent, including Raisa Ivanovna. She looked at me carefully, and I looked at Mishka even more carefully. Mishka pointed to his thumb and for some reason clicked it on his nail.

And somehow I immediately remembered the title and said:

With a nail!

And he repeated it all together:

A man with a nail!

Everyone laughed. Raisa Ivanovna said:

Enough, Korablev!.. Don’t try, it won’t work. If you don’t know, don’t be ashamed. - Then she added: - Well, what about your horizons? Do you remember that yesterday we agreed as a whole class that we would read interesting books beyond the curriculum? Yesterday you decided to learn the names of all the rivers in America. Have you learned?

Of course I didn't learn it. This snake, damn it, completely ruined my whole life. And I wanted to confess everything to Raisa Ivanovna, but instead I suddenly, unexpectedly even for myself, said:

Of course I learned it. But of course!

Well, correct this terrible impression that you made by reading Nekrasov’s poetry. Tell me the largest river in America and I'll let you go.

That's when I felt bad. Even my stomach hurt, honestly. There was amazing silence in the class. Everyone was looking at me. And I was looking at the ceiling. And I thought that now I would probably die. Goodbye, everyone! And at that second I saw that in the last left row Petka Gorbushkin was showing me some kind of long newspaper strip, and on it there was something scrawled in ink, thickly scrawled, he probably wrote with his finger. And I began to peer at these letters and finally read the first half.

And here Raisa Ivanovna again:

Well, Korablev? What is the main river in America?

I immediately had confidence and said:

This story is about Denis Korablev. Deniska spent the whole summer training to get ready and dress quickly, like firefighters. One day he slept through getting up for school, but was able to quickly get dressed in one minute and forty-eight seconds. Denis flew into the classroom and put the textbooks on the desk a few seconds before Raisa Ivanovna’s teacher entered.

Upon entering the classroom, the teacher immediately invited the boy to the blackboard. Denis thought he was missing. He didn't learn the assigned poem because he was chasing the kite. I decided that Raisa Ivanovna also forgot what work she assigned for homework. Denis began to read a poem by a completely different author, A.S. Pushkin. Nekrasov was asked. Of course, Raisa Ivanovna did not forget anything and became very angry and began to scream. She asked Deniska to remember which work and author she was assigned to learn at home.

Best friend Mishka decided to tell his friend the author of the work, but Raisa Ivanovna sternly interrupted him. She realized that Denis did not know the poem that was assigned. I decided to help him and asked a question about the largest and most important river in America. The boy didn’t know this either; he hadn’t read the book about rivers. Denis thought that he needed to be honest about the fact that he did not know the name of the river. But for some reason he answered that he would say it now. Looking at the ceiling, he began to pretend to remember the name of the river. Denis even had a stomach ache and felt dizzy. At that moment, Petka from the far desk wrote the name of the river in ink on a piece of newspaper. Deniska read it and, without thinking, said loudly: “Misi-pisi.”

All the children in the class and the teacher laughed until they cried for a long time. She still gave Denis a big two. The boy was very ashamed of his deception. He promised himself that he would always learn his lessons until he was old.

The story teaches you to take responsibility for yourself and your actions and never deceive.

Deniska's stories - contents

Victor Dragunsky wrote a series of stories about a boy Denis Korablev, who literally grows up before the reader’s eyes. What are they talking about?

At first we see Deniska as a sweet preschooler: inquisitive, sentimental. Then, like a primary school student who uses his inquisitive mind in various experiments, draws conclusions from his not always ideal behavior, and finds himself in funny situations. The main character of the stories was the son of the writer. His father, observing his interesting childhood and his experiences, created these beautiful works. They were first published in 1959, and the actions described in the book took place in the 50-60s of the last century.

What was included in this copy? Yes, quite a lot! I was very pleased with the list.

Now, let's talk about several works individually. This will help you make your choice if you have never read the book. Or he will help fill out the reading diary for grades 2-3, usually during this period reading is assigned for the summer.

About filling out the reader's diary

I’ll explain in just a few words: my son keeps notes about what he read, and I’ll write down his opinion in the article.
An example of such work was when my son worked with the work “Winter”.

In the child’s reading diary there are lines: date of start and end of reading, number of pages, author. I don’t see any point in entering this data here, because your student will read on other dates, in a different format. The author's name is the same in all the works we are talking about today. At the end a drawing is made. If you and your child read the story online, a spread of the book will help you, from which you can make a sketch if you wish. In what genre were “Deniska’s stories” written? This information may be needed when filling out the diary. Genre: literary cycle.

So, let's limit ourselves to the description:

plot (summary);

What did you like about the work?

Deniska's stories – Amazing day

In the story, the guys assemble a rocket to fly into space. Thinking through all the details of its structure, they came up with a very impressive design. And although the friends understood that this was a game, they almost quarreled when deciding who would be the astronaut. It's great that their game ended well! (Parents have the opportunity to discuss safety measures here.) The fact is that the boys put New Year's firecrackers into the samovar pipe to simulate the takeoff of a rocket. And inside the rocket barrel there was an “astronaut”. Luckily for him, the fuse cord did not work and the explosion occurred after the boy left the “rocket”.

The events that Viktor Dragunsky described in this story took place on the day when German Titov flew into space. People listened to the news on the loudspeaker on the streets and rejoiced at such a great event - the launch of the second astronaut.

From the entire book, my son singled out this work, since his interest in astronomy does not fade to this day. Our lesson can be viewed in a separate article.

Name:
Amazing day
Summary:
The children wanted to build a rocket and launch it into space. They found a wooden barrel, a leaky samovar, a box, and at the end they brought pyrotechnics from home. They played cheerfully, each had their own role. One was a mechanic, another was a chief engineer, the third was a boss, but everyone wanted to be an astronaut and go on a flight. Denis became him and he could have died or remained disabled if the fuse cord had not gone out. But everything ended well. And after the explosion, everyone learned that the second cosmonaut, German Titov, had been launched into space. And everyone was happy.

Guys living in the same yard. Alenka is a girl in red sandals. Mishka is Deniska’s best friend. Andryushka is a red-haired boy of six years old. Kostya is almost seven. Denis - he came up with a plan for a dangerous game.

I liked the story. It’s good that although the boys quarreled, they found a way to continue the game. I'm glad no one exploded in the barrel.

Victor Dragunsky Deniska's stories - No worse than you circus people

In the story “No Worse than You Circus People,” Denis, who lived with his parents in the center of Moscow, unexpectedly ends up in the front row of the circus. He had with him a bag of tomatoes and sour cream, which his mother had sent for. In the chair next to him sat a boy, who turned out to be the son of circus performers, who was used as a “spectator from the audience.” The boy decided to play a trick on Deniska and invited him to switch places. As a result, the clown picked up the wrong boy and carried him under the circus big top. And tomatoes fell on the heads of the spectators. But everything ended well and our hero visited the circus more than once.

Review in the reader's diary

Name:
No worse than you circus people.
Summary:
While returning from the store, Deniska accidentally ends up at a circus performance. Next to him, in the first row, sat a circus boy. The guys argued a little, but then he suggested that Denis move to his seat so that the performance of the clown Pencil could be better seen. And he disappeared. The clown suddenly grabbed Deniska and they flew high above the arena. It was scary, and then the purchased tomatoes and sour cream flew down. It was the circus boy Tolka who decided to joke like that. In the end, the guys talked and remained friends, and Aunt Dusya took Denis home.
Main characters and their characteristics:
Denis is almost 9 years old and his mother already sends him alone to the grocery store. Aunt Dusya is a kind woman, a former neighbor who works in a circus. Tolya is a circus boy, he is cunning and his jokes are evil.
What I liked about the work:
I liked this story. There are many funny phrases in it: “she screamed in a whisper”, “she shook like a chicken on a fence.” It was funny to read about flying with a clown and falling tomatoes.

Deniska's stories – Girl on the ball

In the story “The Girl on the Ball,” Denis Korablev watched an interesting circus performance. Suddenly a girl appeared on stage who captured his imagination. Her clothes, her movements, her sweet smile - everything seemed beautiful. The boy was so fascinated by her performance that after it nothing seemed interesting. Arriving home, he told his father about the beautiful circus Thumbelina and asked him to go with him next Sunday to see her together.

The whole essence of the work can be reflected in this passage. How wonderful first love is!

And at that moment the girl looked at me, and I saw that she saw that I saw her and that I also saw that she saw me, and she waved her hand at me and smiled. She waved and smiled at me alone.

But as usual, parents have other things to do. Friends came to my father and a Sunday outing
canceled for another week. Everything would be fine, but it turned out that Tanechka Vorontsova left with her parents for Vladivostok and Denis never saw her again. It was a small tragedy, our hero even tried to persuade his dad to fly there on a Tu-104, but in vain.

Dear parents, I advise you to ask your young readers why, in their opinion, dad was silent all the time on the way home from the circus and at the same time squeezed the child’s hand. Dragunsky completed the work very correctly, but not everyone can understand its ending. We adults, of course, know the reason for the restraint of a man who realized the tragedy of his son in love, which occurred because of his unfulfilled promise. But it is still difficult for children to get into the recesses of an adult soul. Therefore, a conversation with explanations should be held.

Reader's diary

Name:
Girl on the Ball.
Summary:
Denis and his class came to a performance at the circus. There he saw a very beautiful girl performing on the ball. She seemed to him the most unusual of all the girls and he told his dad about her. Dad promised to go and watch the show together on Sunday, but plans changed because of Dad's friends. Deniska couldn't wait until next Sunday to go to the circus. When they finally arrived, they were told that tightrope walker Tanyusha Vorontsova had left with her parents for Vladivostok. Deniska and dad left without finishing the performance and returned home sad.
Main characters and their characteristics:
Deniska - he studies at school. His dad loves the circus, his work involves drawings. Tanya Vorontsova is a beautiful girl performing in the circus.
What I liked about the work:
The story is sad, but I still liked it. It’s a pity that Deniska couldn’t see the girl again.

Victor Dragunsky Deniskin's stories – Arbuzny Lane

The story “Watermelon Lane” cannot be ignored. It is perfect for reading on the eve of Victory Day, or simply for explaining to preschoolers and primary schoolchildren the topic of hunger during the war.

Deniska, like any child, sometimes does not want to eat this or that food. The boy is almost eleven years old, he plays football and returns home very hungry. It would seem that he could eat a bull, but mom puts milk noodles on the table. He refuses to eat and discusses this with his mother. And dad, hearing his son’s rednecks, returned his thoughts to his childhood, when there was a war and he really wanted to eat. He told Denis a story about how during a famine, near one store, he was given a broken watermelon. He ate it at home with a friend. And then the series of hungry days continued. Denis’s father and his friend Valka went to the alley near the store every day, hoping that they would bring watermelons and one of them would break again...

Our little hero understood his father’s story, he really felt it:

I sat and also looked out the window where dad was looking, and it seemed to me that I could see dad and his friend right there, how they trembled and waited. The wind beats on them, and the snow too, and they tremble, and wait, and wait, and wait... And this just made me feel terrible, and I grabbed my plate and quickly, spoon by spoon, swallowed it all, and tilted it then he went to his room, and drank the rest, and wiped the bottom with bread, and licked the spoon.

My review of the first book about the war that I read to my child can be read at. The blog also has a good selection and review for primary school age children.

Deniska's stories films

While reading the book to my son, I remembered that as a child I watched children’s films with similar plots. A lot of time passed, but I still took the risk of looking. I found it quite quickly and, to my surprise, in large quantities. I will present to your attention three films that my boy and I watched. But I want to warn you right away that reading a book cannot be replaced by a film, since in films plots are sometimes mixed from different stories.

Children's film – Funny stories

I’ll start with this film, since it contains stories from the book I described. Namely:

Amazing day;
It is alive and glowing;
The secret becomes clear;
Motorcycle racing along a steep wall;
Dog Thieves;
From top to bottom, diagonally! (this story is not in our book).

Children's film Deniska's stories – Captain

This film is only 25 minutes long and is based on the story “Tell Me About Singapore”. My son and I simply laughed until we cried when we read it in our book, but when watching the film we did not feel this humorous situation. At the end, the plot with the uncle-captain is supplemented from the story “Chicky-Bryk”, where Deniska’s dad showed magic tricks and Mishka believed in magic so much that he threw his mother’s hat out the window. In the film, the main character does the same trick with a captain's hat.

Children's film Deniska's stories

Although this film has the same name as our book, it does not contain a single story from it. To be honest, we liked him the least. This is a musical film with few words and many songs. And since I did not read these works to the child, he was not familiar with the plot. Stories included here:

Exactly 25 kilos;
Healthy thought;
Grandmaster Hat;
Twenty years under the bed.

To summarize, I will say that Victor Dragunsky Deniska’s stories are a book that is easy to read, unobtrusively teaches and educates, and gives the opportunity to laugh. It shows the multifaceted children's friendship, it is not embellished, it recognizes the actions of real children. My son and I liked the book and I am very glad that he has finally grown up to it.

Dragunsky Main rivers: Deniskin's stories for children. Read the story The Main Rivers by V. Dragunsky, and other funny Deniska stories and funny stories for children and school

Main rivers

Although I am already in my ninth year, I only realized yesterday that I still need to learn my lessons. Whether you love it or not, whether you like it or not, whether you are lazy or not, you still have to learn your lessons. This is the law. Otherwise, you can get into such a mess that you won’t recognize your own people. For example, I didn’t have time to do my homework yesterday. We were asked to learn a piece from one of Nekrasov’s poems and the main rivers of America. And instead of studying, I launched a kite into space in the yard. Well, he still didn’t fly into space, because his tail was too light, and because of this he spun like a top. This time. And secondly, I had few threads, and I searched the whole house and collected all the threads that I had; I took it from my mother’s sewing machine, and that turned out to be not enough. The kite flew to the attic and hovered there, but it was still far from space.

And I was so busy with this kite and space that I completely forgot about everything in the world. I was so interested in playing that I stopped even thinking about any lessons. It completely slipped my mind. But it turned out that there was no way to forget about your affairs, because it turned out to be a shame.

Korablev! What are you doing? Am I calling you or not?

And I went to the board. Raisa Ivanovna said:

Winter!.. The peasant, triumphant,

On firewood updates the path:

His horse smells the snow,

Trotting along somehow...

This is Pushkin,” said Raisa Ivanovna.

Yes, - I said, - this is Pushkin. Alexander Sergeevich.

What did I ask? - she said.

Yes! - I said.

What "yes"? What did I ask, I ask you? Korablev!

What? - I said.

I'm sorry, what"? I ask you: what did I ask?

Then Mishka made a naive face and said:

Doesn’t he know what you asked Nekrasov? It was he who did not understand the question, Raisa Ivanovna.

This is what a true friend means. It was Mishka who managed to give me a hint in such a cunning way. And Raisa Ivanovna was already angry:

Elephants! Don't you dare tell me!

Yes! - I said. - Why are you climbing, Mishka? Without you, I don’t know what Raisa Ivanovna asked Nekrasov! I was thinking about it, and here you are, just trying to knock it down.

The bear turned red and turned away from me. And I was again left alone with Raisa Ivanovna.

Well? - she said.

What? - I said.

Stop pooping every minute!

I already saw that she was about to get really angry.

Read. By heart!

What? - I said.

Poems, of course! - she said.

Well! - said Raisa Ivanovna.

What? - I said.

Read it now! - cried poor Raisa Ivanovna. - Read now, they tell you! Title!

While she was screaming, Mishka managed to tell me the first word. He whispered without opening his mouth, but I understood him perfectly. So I boldly put my foot forward and recited:

Little man!

Everyone fell silent, including Raisa Ivanovna. She looked at me carefully, and I looked at Mishka even more carefully. Mishka pointed to his thumb and for some reason clicked it on his nail.

And somehow I immediately remembered the title and said:

With a nail!

And he repeated it all together:

A man with a nail!

Everyone laughed. Raisa Ivanovna said:

Of course I didn't learn it. This snake, damn it, completely ruined my whole life. And I wanted to confess everything to Raisa Ivanovna, but instead I suddenly, unexpectedly even for myself, said:

Of course I learned it. But of course!

Well, correct this terrible impression that you made by reading Nekrasov’s poetry. Tell me the largest river in America and I'll let you go.

And here Raisa Ivanovna again:

Well, Korablev? What is the main river in America?

I immediately had confidence and said:

Misi-pisi.

I won't tell you any further. Enough. And although Raisa Ivanovna laughed until she cried, she gave me a bad mark. And now I have sworn that I will always learn my lessons. To a ripe old age.
