"Barankin, be a man": a summary of the chapters

Very ridiculous and at the same time very instructive story "Barankin, be a man!" Was created in 1961 by the Soviet writer Valery Vladimirovich Medvedev. This amazing story will tell you about the adventures of two friends - classmates-semes Yura Barankina and Kostya Malinin, who once suddenly did not want to learn.

"Barankin, be a man!" The summary of the work

It all started with the fact that Barankin and Malinin received deuces in geometry. Head of the class Zinka Fokina on this occasion has developed a violent activity. An evil wall newspaper was created, to which the faces of these two ill-fated boys with tapered inscriptions stuck together.

But this is only the beginning of the work "Barankin, be a man!" The brief is further developed around the demonstration meeting, or rather - not a meeting, but a very serious conversation. What is it that Barankin and Malinin did not hear about themselves? As a result, it was decided that on Sunday the newly-born graduates will be taught by an excellent student Mishka Yakovlev. With it, they will solve problems. And after all they will go to the school garden to plant trees. The boys were ashamed, but there was nowhere to go. At the end of the meeting, the same annoying Fokine comes up to them and says: "Barankin, be a man, straighten out two from Bones!"

The first reincarnation

And then just fantastic events take place in the work "Barankin, be a man!" The summary of the chapters tells about those ill-fated adventures in which our heroes constantly barely carried their feet from danger.

So, in the very first chapters Barankin and Malinin received a good swagger. Barankin was so dumbfounded and hurt that he no longer wanted to be a man.

And then came Sunday. And suddenly Barankin persuades Malinin with the help of simple actions and spells to turn into sparrows. So it happened. Now they are both sitting on a branch and thinking: "Here it is, this is a carefree life!" Only not so she turned out to be carefree. Seeing their prey, they were followed by a cat Muska, who wanted to eat them. Then an old sparrow flew into them, and began to bring them up in their own way. After them began to chase their neighbor Venka Smirnov with a slingshot. And then there was a sparrow mom who recognized them as her sons and made them learn how to nest a nest. The sparrow-sparge flew in after her. And then they rushed all over their large sparrow family to fight other sparrows for a birdhouse.

I do not want to be a sparrow, I want to be a butterfly

But this does not end with the work "Barankin, be a man!" The summary of it only enters the acute phase of its development. Disappointed in the sparrow's life, the boys wanted to become butterflies. And again they got a focus with reincarnation. Only Barankin became a skit, and Malinin a mahao. Now they were very happy that they would carelessly flit from one flower to another.

But again, it was not there, they were spotted right away by a badass - the tailless sparrow. Hardly had time to hide from this bird, butterflies so wanted to eat, that from the aroma of pollen they began to spin. Then they heard footsteps and screams, they were their classmates with shovels who were already chasing butterflies, thinking that they were harmful silkworms. Barankin and Malinin suddenly so wanted to see their friends, and not even knowing why, because the guys worked on the site, and Fokine gave them all sorts of orders. But then the bee began to chase the butterflies Barankin and Malinin.

Ants

Further difficult was the heroes of the work "Barankin, be a man!" The summary continues with the fact that they barely escaped from this terrible bee, when the ants suddenly appeared. And immediately our heroes wanted to become ants. But then they thought that the ants were constantly working, and at once they were hungry. But now Barankin wanted to become a droner. And suddenly the Machaon-Malinin fell asleep, Barankin could not in any way wake him! And then Fokine came back with the boys again. Seeing the beautiful machaon, she wanted to put him in a stain. In general, barely, but Barankin beat the machaon away from Fokina, and they flew to look far away, far away. A lot of these heroes suffered, but continued their reincarnations.

Then they turned into ants, and then they opened up such a performance that they themselves were frightened. They began to work from morning till night, until they were eaten by the swift, and they again woke up with people. In general, a lot of things had to go through and suffer with these unintentional guys until they realized that it's best to be a human being.

This is the end of the story "Barankin, be a man!" The brief content 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. Further, they no longer allowed themselves to be lazy, and with pleasure they did everything that the school and parents demanded of them.
