Barankin be a man good heroes. Encyclopedia of fairy-tale characters: "Barankin, be a man!". Medvedev Valery Vladimirovich

A very funny and at the same time very instructive story "Barankin, be a man!" was founded in 1961 by the Soviet writer Valery Vladimirovich Medvedev. This amazing story tells about the adventures of two friends - classmates Yura Barankin and Kostya Malinin, who once suddenly got tired of studying.

"Barankin, be a man!" Summary of the work

It all started with the fact that Barankin and Malinin received deuces in geometry. Zinka Fokina developed a vigorous activity on this occasion. An evil wall newspaper was created, on which the faces of these two unfortunate boys were stuck with sharp inscriptions.

But this is only the beginning of the work "Barankin, be a man!" The summary further unfolds around a demonstration meeting, or rather, not a meeting, but a very serious conversation. What did Barankin and Malinin not hear about themselves there! As a result, it was decided that on Sunday the excellent student Mishka Yakovlev would work with the newly-minted students. 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 intrusive Fokina comes up to them and says: “Barankin, be a man, urgently correct the deuce from Kostya!”

First reincarnation

And then just fantastic events take place in the work “Barankin, be a man!” A summary of the chapters tells about those ill-fated adventures in which our heroes constantly barely took 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 Sunday came. And suddenly Barankin persuades Malinin to turn into sparrows with the help of simple actions and spells. And so it happened. Now they both sit on a branch and think: “Here it is, a real carefree life!” But she wasn't all that carefree. Seeing their prey, the cat Muska chased after them, who wanted to eat them. Then an old sparrow also flew at them, who began to educate them in his own way. After that, their neighbor Venka Smirnov began chasing them with a slingshot. And then a sparrow mother appeared, who recognized them as her sons and forced them to learn how to make a nest. The sparrow-daddy himself flew behind her. And then they all their big sparrow family rushed to fight with other sparrows for the birdhouse.

I don't want to be a sparrow, I want to be a butterfly

But this does not end the work "Barankin, be a man!" A brief summary of it is only entering the acute phase of its development. Disappointed in sparrow life, the boys wanted to become butterflies. And again they did a trick with reincarnation. Only Barankin became a skit, and Malinin a swallowtail. Now they were insanely happy that they would flutter carelessly from one flower to another.

But again, it wasn’t there, they were immediately spotted by a bully - a tailless sparrow. Barely having time to hide from this feathered one, the butterflies wanted to eat so much that the aroma of pollen made them dizzy. Then they heard someone's steps and screams, they were their classmates with shovels, who were already chasing butterflies, thinking that they were harmful silkworms. Barankin and Malinin suddenly wanted to see their friends so much, and without even knowing why, because the guys worked at the site, and Fokina gave them all sorts of orders. But then a bee began chasing the butterflies Barankin and Malinin.

Ants

Further, it was even more difficult for the heroes of the work “Barankin, be a man!” The summary continues with the fact that they barely escaped from this terrible bee, when ants suddenly appeared. And immediately our heroes wanted to become ants. But then they thought that the ants were constantly working, and immediately became overwhelmed. But now Barankin wanted to become a drone. And then suddenly the machaon-Malinin fell asleep, Barankin could not wake him up! And then Fokina and the guys reappeared. Seeing a beautiful swallowtail, she wanted to put him in the stain. In general, barely, but Barankin recaptured the swallowtail from Fokina, and they flew wherever they look, if only to get away. These heroes suffered a lot, but continued their reincarnations.

Then they turned into ants, and then such efficiency was revealed in them that they themselves were frightened. They began to work from morning to evening, until a swift ate them, and they again woke up as people. In general, these unintelligent guys had to go through a lot and endure until they realized that it is best to be human.

This is how the story “Barankin, be a man!” ended. The summary of the book shows that it was thanks to all these reincarnations and adventures that the guys formed a sense of responsibility for their work. Then they no longer allowed themselves to be lazy, but with pleasure did everything that the school and parents demanded of them.

If Kostya Malinin and I had not managed to get two deuces in geometry at the very beginning of the school year, then perhaps nothing so incredible and fantastic would have happened in our life, but we got the deuces, and therefore the next day something happened to us something incredible, fantastic and even, one might say, supernatural! ..

At recess, immediately after this ill-fated event, Zinka Fokina, the head of our class, came up to us and said: “Oh, Barankin and Malinin! Oh what a shame! Shame on the entire school! Then she gathered the girls around her and began with them, apparently, to form some kind of conspiracy against Kostya and me. The meeting went on throughout recess until the bell rang for the next lesson.

During the same time, Alik Novikov, a special photojournalist of our wall newspaper, took a picture of us with Kostya and with the words: “The deuce is jumping! The deuce is rushing!”, stuck our faces to the newspaper, in the section “Humor and satire”.

After that, Era Kuzyakina, the editor-in-chief of the wall newspaper, looked at us with a devastating look and hissed: “Oh, you! Such a newspaper has been ruined!”

The newspaper, which, according to Kuzyakina, was ruined by Kostya and me, looked really beautiful. It was all painted with multi-colored paints, in the most prominent place from edge to edge the slogan was printed in bright letters: “Study only for “good” and “excellent”! »

To be honest, our gloomy physiognomies of typical Losers really somehow did not fit with her elegant and festive look. I could not even stand it and sent Kuzyakina a note with the following content:

"Kuzyakina! I propose to remove our cards so that the newspaper will be beautiful again!

I underlined the word “beautiful” with two bold lines, but Erka only shrugged her shoulders and didn’t even look in my direction…

EVENT TWO

Don't even let me remember...

As soon as the bell rang from the last lesson, all the children rushed to the door in a crowd. I was about to push the door with my shoulder, but Erka Kuzyakina somehow got in my way.

- Do not disperse! Don't disperse! There will be a general meeting! she shouted and added in a sarcastic tone:

- Dedicated to Barankin and Malinin!

“And not a meeting,” shouted Zinka Fokina, “but a conversation!” A very serious conversation!.. Sit down!..

What started here! All the guys began to be indignant, slamming their desks, scolding Kostya and me and shouting that they would never stay. Kostya and I yelled, of course, the most. What are these other orders? They didn’t have time, one might say, to get deuces, and you immediately got a general meeting, well, not a meeting, so a “serious conversation” ... It remains to be seen which is worse. This was not the case last school year. That is, Kostya and I also had deuces last year, but no one made any fire out of this. They worked, of course, but not in this way, not right away ... They let me, as they say, come to my senses ... While such thoughts flashed through my head, the head of our class, Fokina, and the editor-in-chief of the wall newspaper, Kuzyakina, managed to “crush the rebellion” and forced all the guys to sit down. When the noise gradually died down and there was relative silence in the classroom, Zinka Fokina immediately began the meeting, that is, a “serious conversation” dedicated to me and my best friend Kostya Malinin.

Of course, it is very unpleasant for me to remember what Zinka Fokina and the rest of our comrades said about Kostya and me at that meeting, and, despite this, I will tell everything as it really was, without distorting a single word and without adding anything. Push…

EVENT THREE

How is it in opera...

When everyone sat down and there was silence in the class, Zinka Fokina shouted:

- Oh, guys! It's just some misfortune! The new academic year has not yet begun, and Barankin and Malinin have already managed to get two deuces! ..

A terrible noise immediately arose in the classroom again, but individual cries, of course, could be made out.

- In such conditions, I refuse to be the editor-in-chief of the wall newspaper! (This was said by Era Kuzyakina.) - And they also promised that they would improve! (Mishka Yakovlev.) - Unfortunate drones! Last year they were nursed, and again all over again! (Alik Novikov.) - Call the parents! (Nina Semyonova.) - Only our class is a disgrace! (Irka Pukhova.) - We decided to do everything “good” and “excellent”, and here you are! (Ella Sinitsyna.) - Shame on Barankin and Malinin!! (Ninka and Irka together.) - Yes, kick them out of our school, and that's it !!! (Erka Kuzyakina.) "Okay, Erka, I'll remember this phrase for you."

After these words, everyone yelled with one voice, so loudly that it was completely impossible for Kostya and me to make out who and what was thinking about us, although from individual words it was possible to catch that Kostya Malinin and I were blockheads, parasites, drones! Once again, fools, loafers, egoists! And so on! Etc!..

What annoyed me and Kostya most of all was that Venka Smirnov was yelling the loudest. Whose cow, as they say, would moo, but his would be silent. This Venka's performance last year was even worse than that of Kostya and me. Therefore, I could not stand it and also screamed.

“Redhead,” I shouted at Venka Smirnov, “and why are you yelling the loudest of all? If you were the first to be called to the board, you would not get a deuce, but a unit! So shut up in a rag.

“Oh, you, Barankin,” Venka Smirnov yelled at me, “I’m not against you, I’m yelling for you!” What am I trying to say, guys!.. I say: you can’t immediately call to the blackboard after the holidays. It is necessary that we first come to our senses after the holidays ...

- Smirnov! Zinka Fokina shouted at Venka.

“And in general,” Venka continued to shout at the whole class, “I suggest that during the first month no one should be asked any questions and that they should not be called to the blackboard at all! ..

“So you yell these words separately,” I shouted to Venka, “and not with everyone else together! ..

“Oh, be quiet, guys,” said Fokina, “shut up!” Let Barankin speak!

- What to say? - I said. - Kostya and I are not to blame that Mikhail Mikhalych called us to the blackboard first this academic year. I would first ask one of the excellent students, for example, Mishka Yakovlev, and it would all start with a five ...

Everyone began to make noise and laugh, and Fokina said:

- You better not joke, Barankin, but take an example from Misha Yakovlev.

- Just think, an example-minister! - I said not very loudly, but so that everyone could hear.

The guys laughed again. Zinka Fokina yelped, and Erka shook her head like a big one and said:

- Barankin! You'd better tell me when you and Malinin will correct your deuces?

- Malinin! I said to Costa. - Explain...

- What are you yelling at? Malinin said. We'll fix the two...

- Yura, when will we fix the deuces? Kostya Malinin asked me.

- And you, Malinin, do not have your head on your shoulders? Kuzyakina screamed.

“We’ll fix it in a quarter,” I said in a firm voice to bring final clarity to this issue.

- Guys! This is what happens? This means that our class must live through these unfortunate twos for the whole quarter!

- Barankin! - said Zinka Fokina. - The class decided that you correct the deuces tomorrow!

- Excuse me, please! I was outraged. - Tomorrow is Sunday!

- Nothing, take care of it! (Misha Yakovlev.) - So they need it! (Alik Novikov.) - Tie them to the desks with ropes! (Erka Kuzyakina.) - And if we don't understand the solution of the problem with Kostya? (I have already said this.) - And I will explain to you! (Misha Yakovlev.) Kostya and I looked at each other and said nothing.

Fascinating story by Valery Medvedev "Barankin, be a man!" loved by many generations of children for the incredibly interesting adventures of its characters, ease of presentation and answers to some, sometimes not quite childish, questions.

It all starts with the fact that two friends, Yura Barankin and Kostya Malinin, get two in geometry in the very first week of September. Their classmates are outraged, because they all really wanted to be the best in school in terms of academic performance and hoped that each student would make every effort. And two carefree friends did not want to waste time preparing for the lesson and let their comrades down. Especially offensive for everyone was the fact that these were the very first grades in the class in the beginning of the year. Yura and Kostya, in turn, do not understand the general indignation, they believe that if the mathematician called someone else, then there would be no problem, and they themselves would have nothing to do with it.

The general meeting of the class decided to deal with the lagging behind, so that they would not dishonor the whole team, and the excellent student Misha Yakovlev should start on the next Sunday immediately after planting trees in the garden.

On Sunday morning, while waiting for classmates, friends discuss the past meeting and are indignant at the fact that instead of Sunday rest, they should engage in social activities and cram geometry. The call of an excellent student Zina seems especially offensive to Yura - “Barankin, be a man!” It's like he's not even human! But it’s great, probably, to be not a man, but a sparrow, for example! Sitting on a branch, tweeting all day and no lessons, no social assignments! And so this idea captivates the guys that, having hastily composed a simple spell, they turn into sparrows, butterflies and ants in turn. However, such a life turned out to be completely carefree. It turned out that you need to study, and work, and look for food, and dodge numerous dangers. Sparrows flee from cats, they are shot from a slingshot. Young naturalists hunt for butterflies, collecting them in collections, in addition, in the fall they go to bed and it is not known whether they will be able to wake up in the spring. And ants generally work until dark, obeying instincts, and they are attacked by myrmics, waging a very cruel and bloody war. And no one, absolutely no one knows what Sunday rest is!

Once again, becoming people, the guys completely change their lives. They begin to enjoy participating in community tasks and study hard. Having been sparrows, butterflies and ants, they realized from their own experience how important it is to know a lot, be able to do a lot and be hardworking. Knowledge is what makes a person human. They have learned to be human and have been teaching the same to young readers of Valery Medvedev's wonderful story for many years.

Warm up
Who wrote the book "Barankin, be a man!"?
Name the main characters. (Yura Barankin, Kostya Malinin).
Which of the characters do you remember the most?
(Era Kuzyakina, editor-in-chief of the wall newspaper;
Alik Novikov, special photojournalist for a classroom wall newspaper;
Venka Smirnov, slingshot shooter, destroyer of anthills;
Zina Fokina, class leader; Misha Yakovlev, excellent student).

The writer's fate is sometimes mysterious. Only
a writer starting his way from the first attempt creates,
you can say a classic book, and then for a long time can not
create nothing of equal value - although he writes and prints a lot.
This is exactly what happened to the cheerful children's writer Valery
Vladimirovich Medvedev.

Valery Vladimirovich Medvedev is a very interesting person. He
worked in the theater, acted in films, wrote scripts. When he
served in the army, then drew attention to the fact that soldiers are always
gather around a cheerful, cheerful person.
There is always laughter and smiles around him. Such people give others
energy, strength, help to overcome difficulties. Valery
Vladimirovich decided that he should give the guys such
relentless hero.

So the story-tale "Barankin, be a man" appeared.
immediately gained almost worldwide fame. Already through
a few years after its appearance, it is in Japan alone
went through more than a dozen editions. And then, although Medvedev
published one book after another: (the story "Dash-dash-dot",
"Captain Lie Head"), none of them could rise to
the writer's first book. And Medvedev still remains the author
ageless Barankin.

Conversation.

And why did Medvedev's story turn out to be the best in his work?

In a cheerful and relaxed way, the writer raised such an important topic: HOW HEALTHY IT IS, HOW WONDERFUL IT IS, BUT ALSO HOW RESPONSIBLE TO BE A HUMAN ON EARTH.

Moreover, it is shown very naturally.

What is at the core of the story? Dreams, fantasies?

Yes, events. The whole story is based on action.

How many events are there? (36)

Each event has its own name.

Each chapter, line, paragraph is an action, a collision.

And as a result - everyday circulation Be human !
played in a new way, as if Medvedev was the first to say these words.
But what does it mean to be human, we'll try again
figure out.

But to start talking about the book, let's remember some of the names of the characters we met while reading the book.

1 question . Why did Barankin envy a flock of sparrows, ants, butterflies?

Event six. Every day is Sunday, that's what struck me
imagination.

Sub-question.

What is the remarkable life of sparrows?

The life of birds and various insects was carefree and simply
remarkable: none of them expected anyone, none of them
studied, no one was sent anywhere, no one was lectured,
no one was given shovels. Everyone lived on their own and did
whatever you like. And so all my life. All days are painted pink
paint. Holiday all the time. 7 days a week - and all Sundays.

2 question. What kind of life did Barankin and Malinin dream about, sitting on a bench?

3 question . What do you think the words of Yura Barankin's mother mean: “If you really want, then a snub nose can become aquiline”?

4 question . Why every time Barankin and Malinin turned into some kind of insect, they were in mortal danger?

When Muska appears, Yurka thinks... he's just not used to
because I'm a sparrow.

It turns out that not only children, but all living beings are somehow
are learning. Every time the guys turned into someone, they made a discovery.

5 question .What kind of discovery did Barankin the butterfly make?

Butterflies - must fall asleep someday d.

And what did Kostya Malinin say?

You and I are humanoid butterflies- that's what.

6 question . What does the expression "work under the guidance of instinct" mean?

Ants are the hardest working insects in the whole world. And what makes them work every day, like his "instinct"?

Barankin thought: instinct can be disobeyed, even if it
actually exists. But suddenly he suddenly wanted
work. This desire was strong and irresistible. "Work
under the control of instinct" - to work with one thought "Come on,
drag, etc.

Instinct switched us from one speed to another. (WHEN?)

When Venka poked the shovel handle into the anthill.

What did the guys think about ants?

uneducated individuals. They probably don't even know what it is.
Sunday. And we are educated.

7.Question. Explain Barankin's idea that when Malinin was different insects, he still remained a man? And what a miracle this man is: his arms, legs, head.

And Kostya rushed to the aid of the ants like a man. And me in
did not leave trouble. And one without me did not want to turn into anyone.
And he did not flinch in front of the "Mimriks". And he died like a man! And there was no need
him to whisper no magic words to turn into a human.
I even thought like a human being.

K. Malinin - I missed our class.

Y. Barankin - I myself wanted to see the guys,
fly past the school.

7 question . What does it mean to live among people and be human?

Shall we ask this question again?

This expression is often used and in very different ways.

Bought a car - became a man. Took a high post - too
sometimes they say so. We also tried to answer this

Question.

Let's go back to our story.

If you look at the events of Baranka na, it will become clear that the real people of Yura and Kost I was only when I helped a l and black ants boron from mingle with huge red-haired invaders or, when under the threat of death, did not want to be separated from each other.

Do you think that the entire content of the book is devoted to this topic?

Yevgeny Schwartz in the play "Two Maples" has two boys -
Baba Yaga turns brothers into small trees. When their mother
Vasilisa the worker managed to return the human region to them
And To,
real trees give them such an order "Forgive
th those brothers
maples! Don't hate us!

YOU ARE THE HEADING "DO NOT FORGET WE ARE ALIVE"
There is no such direct order in Medvedev's book, but between the lines
it sounds.

Outcome:

WHAT IS THE BOOK TEACHING?

Teaches love for all living things. The writer forces the characters to
own experience to see what it is like for us
T ouch
sparrows, butterflies, etc., when dealing with cruel
boys.

It turned out so! That friends went to their most daring
travel as usual n lazy sheep, and then in the course
their adventures, they have grown to the rank of man. deserved
And whether
the right to return to human form.

But what is missing in this look?

POST TITLE "AND THERE SHOULD BE A HEART, A HEART
HUMANITY". "A kind and brave heart - will direct" the head
And

hands to one side, and evil, etc. R conditional ...... Here and here in goodbye

Bear in and Yura and Kostya survived the trials that fell on them and
not only because, being ants, they retained human
consciousness, but above all because they preserved the CHEL
ABOUT EVENING CFU
HEART. And it was he who called for help
R uh-huh in
difficult moment, it also made them fight to the last
possibilities.

WHAT POINTS DID YOU FIND FUNNY?

WHAT DID THE BOOK TEACH YOU? OR NOT?

Let's focus, and strongly, strongly wish ourselves to be a person for life. Real person.

To live among people and for people.

Review of the story "Barankin, be a man!"
This is a very funny and at the same time instructive story, which I really liked. Its main characters understand that any animal in nature works, otherwise it is simply impossible.

Man, that sounds proud.

The earth is painted by the sun, and man is labor.
Business time, fun hour.

Summary, brief retelling of the story "Barankin, be a man!" chapter by chapter
Part one "Barankin to the board".
1. Two deuces.
Yura Barankin and his friend Kostya Malinin get two in geometry. Class leader Zinka Fokina shames them, photographer Alik Novikov takes off their faces and attaches them to a wall newspaper, the editor of the wall newspaper is angry at the boys that they ruined such a newspaper.
In general, everything went somehow wrong from the very beginning of the school year.
2. They don't even let you come to your senses.
After class, classmates gathered a meeting. Most of the guys were indignant, especially Yura and Kostya.
3. As it turns out in the opera.
At the meeting, the guys scold the boys and call them blockheads, parasites, drones. Use standard newspaper clichés. Barankina is angry that Venka Smirnov, also a loser and an idiot, yells loudest of all. But it turns out. Venka yells for Barankin that it is impossible to call to the board immediately after the holidays.
Yura and Kostya promise to correct the deuces in the quarter, but the headman Fokina demands that they correct the deuces tomorrow. They are given the help of an excellent student Yakovlev.
4. What if I'm tired of being human?
After the meeting, the guys disperse, and Yura and Kostya sit shocked at their desks. Fokina approaches them and begins to demand from Barankin that he become a man, that he be a man, that he speak like a human being.
Barankin thinks that he is very tired of being a man.
5. Shovels are still handed over And the Bear is about to appear.
On Sunday morning, Yura and Kostya are sitting on a bench and waiting for Mishka Yakovlev. The weather is fine. Headman Fokina and photographer Novikov appear in the yard. Fokina carries shovels and hands them to Barankin. She demands that after studying, the boys come to plant trees in the school yard.
6. Seven days off a week, that's what caught my imagination
Yura watches as sparrows and butterflies flutter around, as ants scurry about on the ground and is very jealous of all these animals, which do not get life, but a continuous day off. And so Barankin decides on that very day to implement a brilliant idea that he had been thinking about for a long time.
7. The only instruction in the world.
Yura tells Kostya that if you really want something, it will definitely happen. He offers to turn into sparrows, and spend at least one day off in a human way.
Yura hands Kostya a notebook with "Instruction" written on it.
8. I don't want to study, I want to be a bird.
The guys begin to decide how best and who to turn into. Kostya offers butterflies, but Yura insists on sparrows. In the last lesson, he heard that sparrows live very well. Kostya agrees, saying that he played a crow in the play, and it will be easy for him to turn into a sparrow.
The guys are training to jump on the ground and begin to cast a spell.
Part two. Chick-chirp! Life is Beautiful!
9. It is worth wanting for real and
Yura closed his eyes and strongly wanted to become a sparrow. He felt that he had strange desires - to flutter up on a twig, to fly through the air. Then he wanted oats.
Finally Yura opened his eyes and examined himself. He really turned into a sparrow.
But Kostya Malinin was still sitting in the form of a man.
10. What does it mean in sparrow language
Kostya sees a sparrow-Barankin and tries to talk to him. But the sparrow only chirps. Kostya is offended that the sparrow calls him a cap
Kostya starts repeating the spell again. At this moment, Yakovlev on a bicycle appears from around the corner, but when he drives up to the bench there is no one there. Only shovels and textbooks. Mishka takes the textbooks and goes to Yura's house.
Barankin and Malinin are happy.
11. Meeting with the tailless.
Yura has turned into a sparrow with a snub-nosed beak, while Kostya has unusual blue eyes. The sparrow boys drank water from a puddle and began to look for oats.
For some reason, the seeds did not suit them.
Kostya is chased away from the oats by a large tailless sparrow. Then he starts jumping on Yura. But Yura also fluffed out his feathers and tripped the big sparrow. He fell down and became frightened.
But the guys offered him oats, because they don’t beat those who are lying down. Sparrow flew away, and Kostya shouted to Yura that there was a cat nearby.
12. Cat Muska wants to eat me.
Barankin turned around and saw his mother's beloved cat Muska. He was not frightened and even started talking to the cat, ignoring the cries of Kostya, who prudently flew off into a tree.
As a result, the cat jumped on Barankin and crushed him under him. Yura managed to dodge and took off, leaving several feathers in the cat's claws.
13. What grandmothers chirp about.
An old sparrow flew up to Yura and Kostya and began to scold them. He was indignant that the boys behaved so frivolously with the cat. He said that sparrows cannot have familiar cats. He asked me to name his parents.
Kostya and Yura hastily flew away, dissatisfied with the sparrow life. They sat on an empty tree and something whistled past Yura.
14. Long-range slingshot with an optical sight.
Yura sees that his flatmate, Venka Smirnov, is aiming at him with a slingshot. Moreover, this slingshot was made by Barankin himself.
They hurriedly fly away with Kostya and notice from a bird's eye view that the city is full of cats and boys with slingshots. This discovery depresses them. They get tired and suddenly a sparrow calls them.
15. What happens when sons disown their mother.
The fat sparrow calls the guys her little ones and calls to make a nest. Kostya and Yura tell the sparrow that she made a mistake and they are not her children. The sparrow is indignant, calls other sparrows as witnesses, and gives imaginary children a good beating.
Kostya and Yura agree to be her children and fly off to build a nest.
16. Kostya and I are learning to build a nest.
Sparrow teaches the children to make a nest, pecks them from time to time, and the boys are surprised. It turns out sparrows also have to study and work.
At this time, a fat red sparrow arrives, which turns out to be the boys' dad - Chika.
17. Fight for a birdhouse.
Chika drags his whole family into a fight for a birdhouse, from which the swifts flew south, Malinin does not know how to fight, but Barankin drags him along.
Sparrows immediately crash into a flock of fighting sparrows.
Malinin clings to Barankin's tail and Yura pulls him out of the fight.
18. Kostya Malinin tweeted.
The guys try to fly away from the battlefield, but they are pursued by four sparrows, who shout that these two were the loudest chirping.
Barankin uses a tricky trick - he rolls over on his back in flight and kicks with his feet. So he scatters the pursuers and the guys fly away.
Tired and embittered, Kostya immediately proposes to turn into butterflies, which are not eaten by cats, which do not build nests.
Yura doubts, but decides to support his friend. Three cats creep up on them and the boys hurriedly recite the converted spell.

Part three. I am a skit, and Kostya is a swallowtail.
19. A pest known to the public.
The cats sneak up on the boys as they continue to desperately cast the spell. The cats separate and prepare to jump. Barankin thinks that everything is lost, but the cats suddenly turn around and run away.
Barankin examines himself and realizes that he has turned into a butterfly. He looks around for Bones and sees a wonderful butterfly. It turns out that Kostya Malinin has turned into a swallowtail, and Barankin himself has turned into a skit, a pest.
Kostya calls Yura to follow him, promising to treat him with nectar.
20. Sleeping Beauty
The boys flew off for nectar, but suddenly Kostya noticed a beautiful yellow butterfly, a buckthorn, in the gutter, and decided to get to know her. Barankin called him a girlie, but nothing came of the acquaintance. The butterfly was sleeping. Kostya said that such is the law of nature and in winter the butterflies sleep. Barankin was upset, because he did not want to sleep through the winter holidays.
Then a familiar tailless sparrow appeared and Kostya hid. Barankin was unaware of the danger and began to talk to the sparrow, but Kostya dragged him under the roof just in time.
Barankin decided to silently endure the difficulties of the life of butterflies.
21. Anti-aircraft cap.
The guys flew to a large flower bed from which the appetizing smell of nectar. Barankin began to eat when he heard the cries of "Crush the gypsy moth." He did not pay attention to them, because he was a skit. But the cap fell off. The boys were after him. It seemed again Venka Smirnov and another boy. They were glad that they had shot down Barankin and were looking for him in the grass.
Yura folded his wings and hid. And when the guys turned away, he took off and sat on the clock pole, next to Kostya.
22. Goodbye guys, may not see you again
Barankin offered to fly to the gardens, but Kostya said that it was impossible to go there, where butterflies were poisoned with chemicals. And he offered to fly to the school garden, at the same time to look at the guys.
Kostya was flying fast and Barankin began to fall behind. Then he grabbed Kostya by the paws and so flew to the school in tow. They sat on the windowsills and watched the children work in the garden.
Then Yakovlev arrived and fuss arose. The guys were obviously looking for Barankin and Malinin.
Kostya called Yura to the flowers and they began to descend.
23. Anti-sneezing vaccination.
Yura chose a huge flower and climbed inside. He began to eat nectar and sneezed. Then someone butted him and Yura butted in response.
But when he got out of the flower, he saw a bee looking at him. Yura got scared and flew away. He looked where Kostya was, and saw that he, too, had been driven into a flower by a bee.
Barankin grabbed a light twig and hit the bee from behind. And then he fell into the grass from hunger.
24. I understand my mistake, but a terrible law of nature comes into play.
Barankin came to his senses near a puddle of water and began to drink water. He understood that turning into sparrows and butterflies was a mistake, but he did not know who to turn into. Yura looked at the ants and decided that it was not worth turning into these hard workers.
Suddenly, Barankin remembered how they called him a drone at the meeting and shouted to Malinin that they urgently needed to turn into drones, who definitely did nothing.
But the guys didn't remember what the drones looked like. Finally, Kostya said that drones are such bees.
Yura saw that Kostya was falling asleep and realized that he could sleep through the whole winter. He wanted to pour water over him from a puddle.
25. They already have a butterfly like me in their collection.
The guys from the class scolded Barankin and Malinin, not suspecting that they were under their feet. Fokina and the other girls sat in a circle and began to read a report about butterflies.
Barankin wanted to cover Malinin with a piece of paper so that he would not be noticed and dragged a piece of newspaper. They noticed him, but Fokina said that they already had a skit.
Then they noticed Kostya, and Fokina became agitated. As it is, in our city there is a real swallowtail from the Ussuri region.
The girls with the net began to creep up with Kostya.
26. To the stain, therefore to the dryer, and to the straightener.
The girls were preparing a terrible death for Kostya and Barankin decided to act. He rushed to Kostya and pushed him, Then he shouted to make him a candle and the butterflies soared into the sky.
But Kostya still wanted to sleep and fell into the bushes, next to the ants.
Barankin began to tickle him and Kostya woke up again. Yura told him about the stain and the collection, and Kostya finally woke up.
He began to cast a spell to turn into goosebumps. Barankin wanted to become a drone, but he could not leave his comrade and also became a goosebump

Part four. Guard! Mimriki"
27. An unpleasant event for Fokina and a saving event for us
The girls crept up to the bushes, but there were no longer butterflies, but two ants were sitting.
Yura reprimanded Kostya for turning into ants, but he brushed it off. He said that he did not believe in instinct, but today is a day off and the ant is also resting.
The boys found a round seed and began to play football. Real ants saw them and moved their whiskers.
Kostya and Yura came out of the bushes and saw ants running along the path carrying something. They all worked.
The boys wanted to leave quickly, but instinct made them move towards the anthill.
28. We are repairing an anthill
The guys did not want to work, but instinct made them grab a twig and drag it to the anthill. They began to scurry back and forth to the anthill, dragging various weights. They tried to free themselves from the action of instinct, but they did not succeed.
And then Venka Smirnov passed by the anthill and poked it with a stick.
It was as if he switched the ants to the third speed and they began to intensively restore the anthill.
29. It was probably the only rebellion of its kind on earth.
Barankin understands that he did not dream of such a life. He tries to fight the instinct and decides to start a riot. He throws pine needles and demands that Malinin throws a leaf. Kostya also throws a leaf and the boys run into the bushes. They are already starting to cast a spell to turn into a human, but then they are grabbed by some ants.
30. An unexpected escape from an unexpected threat.
The old ant began to ask the guys why they did not work. Barankin said that today is Sunday and today is a day off. These are the rules in the brick anthill.
The ants made noise and began to suspect the boys.
And the old ants conferred and said that this was an unheard of crime and for it these two idler ants were sentenced to death.
Kostya and Yura were dragged away from the anthill.
31. This is what myrmics are and this is what Kostya Malinin is like.
At this time, the sentinel ant raised the alarm - myrmics appeared. Kostya and Yura climbed onto the flower and began to look down. They saw how huge red ants appeared and quickly bit off the heads of black ones.
Then the guys saw a real war of ants. Red ants surrounded the black anthill and attacked. But Black did not give up and took advantage of his numerical superiority. The blacks began to push the reds.
At this time, the boys noticed a huge detachment of redheads who were in a hurry to the anthill.
Yura said that he urgently needed to turn into a man, but Kostya grabbed a twig and rushed into the thick of the battle, shouting "Death to the myrmics!"
32. We are surrounded
Kostya alone with a club at the ready ran towards the myrmics. He would certainly have died, but Barankin managed to grab him and drag him into the forest.
But even here they were found by red ants.
Barankin ordered Kostya to climb the flower and urgently turn into a man, and he climbed after him.
The Mimriks began to climb the stalk behind the boys.
33. Ten large ones on two small ones and a gossamer-plane.
The red ants stubbornly climbed the flower and Yura beat them with a twig until the twig broke. The boys retreated to the middle of the flower and Kostya flatly refused to turn into a man without a friend.
Then Barankin saw a cobweb over a flower and the guys quickly jumped on it. Yura had a bite of the cobweb and it was carried by the wind. The red ants did not have time to grab the boys.
From a height, the guys saw that the war of ants had already ended and the blacks, having won, returned to their usual work.
The boys began to read the spell, but then the swift grabbed Kostya on the fly and carried him away.
Part five. Barankin, be a man!
34. Afterlife voice.
Barankin is experiencing the death of a friend who died like a hero. He discovers that he has turned into a man and goes home without noticing anyone. Yura sits down on a bench and roars at the top of his lungs.
But then he hears a voice that asks why he burst into tears.
35. We exist!
It was Malinin's voice. Barankin decided that a friend was talking to him from the other world, because he saw how a swift ate him. But Malinin also saw how the swift ate Barankin.
Finally Yura opened his eyes and saw Kostya.
The guys are happy. screaming, touching each other. they are delighted to be human again.
Then the rest of the guys come in and the boys hug them all, shouting "Man, that sounds proud."
They are in a hurry to get started.
On the stairs Yura sees Venka Smirnov, gives him a slap on the back of the head and breaks his slingshot.
36. I want to be human forever.
That day, Yura and Kostya did their homework for four hours. Then they worked with passion in the school garden.
The next morning, friends are the first to arrive at school.
Boys' lives are changing. They begin to study well, correct deuces and everything is fine with them.
