8 A. Kuprin "Elephant" Summary of the story. The little girl Nadia (6 years old) fell ill, according to Dr. Mikhail Petrovich, with "indifference to life." The only cure is to cheer. But the girl doesn't want anything. One day she asked for an elephant. Half an hour later, dad brought her an “expensive beautiful toy” of a gray elephant, which itself waves its tail and shakes its head. But the girl said she wanted the real one, and this one is dead. Then dad goes to the menagerie and begs the German owner to let the elephant Tommy go to their house. The German does not understand at first, but dad explained everything. Then the owner of the menagerie allows the elephant to visit at night and checks himself whether this is possible (whether there is a large room, a strong floor, wide doors). At night, the elephant is led into the house. In order for him to climb the stairs to the second floor, dad buys a pistachio cake for him. In the morning they tell Nadia that the elephant has come, they feed her with soft-boiled eggs and milk, and they take her to the elephant in a carriage. The girl is not afraid of the elephant, they have tea together: the girl drinks tea, the elephant drinks sugar water with rolls. Nadia introduces him to dolls, shows him a picture book. Friends have lunch together. In the evening, Nadia cannot be torn away from the elephant, she falls asleep next to him and has a dream that she “married Tommy, and they have many children, small, cheerful elephants.” The elephant is taken away. In the morning the girl wakes up cheerful and, having learned that the elephant has left and called her to visit, she asks to tell that she is already completely healthy.

The little girl is unwell. Every day Dr. Mikhail Petrovich, whom she has known for a long time, visits her. And sometimes he brings with him two more doctors, strangers. They turn the girl over on her back and stomach, listen to something with her ear to her body, pull the lower eyelid down and look. At the same time, they somehow importantly snore, their faces are strict, and they speak among themselves in an incomprehensible language.
Then they move from the nursery to the living room, where their mother is waiting for them. The most important doctor - tall, gray-haired, in gold glasses - tells her about something seriously and for a long time. The door is not closed, and the girl from her bed can see and hear everything. She does not understand much, but she knows that it is about her. Mom looks at the doctor with big, tired, tear-stained eyes. Saying goodbye, the head doctor says loudly:
Most importantly, don't let her get bored. Fulfill all her whims.
“Ah, doctor, but she wants nothing!”
“Well, I don’t know… remember what she liked before, before her illness. Toys... some treats...
— No, no, doctor, she doesn't want anything...
“Well, try to entertain her somehow... Well, at least with something... I give you my word of honor that if you manage to make her laugh, to cheer her up, then this will be the best medicine. Understand, then, that your daughter is sick with indifference to life, and nothing else ... Goodbye, madam!
“Dear Nadia, my dear girl,” says my mother, “do you want something?”
“No, Mom, I don’t want anything.
- If you want, I will put all your dolls on your bed. We will supply an armchair, a sofa, a table and a tea set. The dolls will drink tea and talk about the weather and the health of their children.
- Thank you, mom ... I don’t feel like ... I’m bored ...
“Well, okay, my girl, don’t need dolls. Or maybe call Katya or Zhenechka to you? You love them so much.
- Don't, Mom. The truth is, you don't have to. I don't want anything, I don't want anything. I am so bored!
Do you want me to bring you some chocolate?
But the girl does not answer and looks at the ceiling with motionless, unhappy eyes. She has no pain and no fever. But she is getting thinner and weaker every day. Whatever they do to her, she doesn't care, and she doesn't need anything. So she lies for whole days and whole nights, quiet, sad. Sometimes she will doze off for half an hour, but even in her dream she sees something gray, long, boring, like an autumn rain.
When the door to the living room is opened from the nursery, and further into the study from the living room, the girl sees her father. Dad walks quickly from corner to corner and smokes, smokes. Sometimes he comes into the nursery, sits on the edge of the bed and softly strokes Nadia's legs. Then suddenly he gets up and goes to the window. He whistles something, looking out into the street, but his shoulders are shaking. Then he hurriedly puts the handkerchief to one eye, to the other, and, as if angry, goes to his office. Then he again runs from corner to corner and everything ... smokes, smokes, smokes ... And the office becomes all blue from tobacco smoke.
But one morning the girl wakes up a little more cheerful than usual. She saw something in a dream, but she cannot remember what it was, and looks long and attentively into her mother's eyes.
- Do you need something? Mom asks.
But the girl suddenly remembers her dream and says in a whisper, as if in secret:
- Mom ... can I have ... an elephant? Just not the one shown in the picture ... Can I?
- Of course, my girl, of course, you can.
She goes to the office and tells her dad that the girl wants an elephant. Dad immediately puts on his coat and hat and leaves somewhere. Half an hour later he returns with an expensive, beautiful toy. This is a big gray elephant who himself shakes his head and wags his tail; the elephant has a red saddle, and on the saddle is a golden tent and three little men are sitting in it. But the girl looks at the toy as indifferently as she does at the ceiling and walls, and says languidly:
- Not. It's not like that at all. I wanted a real, live elephant, but this one is dead.
“Just look, Nadya,” says dad. “We’ll wind him up now, and he’ll be just, just like a living thing.
The elephant is turned on with a key, and, shaking his head and waving his tail, he begins to step over his feet and slowly walks along the table. The girl is not at all interested and even bored, but in order not to upset her father, she whispers meekly:
“I thank you very, very much, dear papa. I don't think anyone has such an interesting toy... Only... remember... after all, you promised to take me to the menagerie to see a real elephant... and you never took me...
“But listen, my dear girl, understand that this is impossible. The elephant is very big, it's up to the ceiling, it won't fit in our rooms... And besides, where can I get it?
- Dad, I don’t need such a big one ... Bring me at least a small one, only alive. Well, at least here, just like that ... At least a baby elephant.
“Dear girl, I’m glad to do everything for you, but I can’t do this. After all, it's the same as if you suddenly told me: dad, get me the sun from the sky.
The girl smiles sadly.
“What a fool you are, dad. Don't I know that the sun can't be reached because it burns. And the moon is also impossible. No, I would like an elephant... a real one.
And she quietly closes her eyes and whispers:
— I'm tired... Excuse me, dad...
Dad grabs his hair and runs into the office. There he flickers from corner to corner for a while. Then he resolutely throws a half-smoked cigarette on the floor (for which he always gets it from his mother) and shouts to the maid:
- Olga! Coat and hat!
The wife comes into the front.
Where are you, Sasha? she asks.
He breathes heavily as he buttons up his coat.
“I myself, Mashenka, don’t know where... but I think I’ll actually bring a real elephant here by evening tonight.”
His wife looks at him worriedly.
"Darling, are you well?" Do you have a headache? Maybe you didn't sleep well today?
“I didn’t sleep at all,” he replies angrily. I see you want to ask if I'm crazy? Not yet. Goodbye! Everything will be visible in the evening.
And he disappears, slamming the front door loudly.
Two hours later, he sits in the menagerie, in the front row, and watches how the learned animals, on the orders of the owner, make different things. Clever dogs jump, somersault, dance, sing to music, put words from large cardboard letters. Monkeys - some in red skirts, others in blue pants - walk on a tightrope and ride a big poodle. Huge red lions gallop through burning hoops. A clumsy seal fires a pistol. Finally, the elephants are brought out. There are three of them: one large, two very small, dwarfs, but still much larger than a horse. It is strange to watch how these huge animals, seemingly so clumsy and heavy, perform the most difficult tricks that even a very dexterous person cannot do. The largest elephant is especially distinguished. He first stands on his hind legs, sits down, stands on his head, feet up, walks on wooden bottles, walks on a rolling barrel, turns the pages of a large cardboard book with his trunk, and finally sits down at the table and, tied with a napkin, dines, just like a well-bred boy .
The show ends. The spectators disperse. Nadia's father approaches the fat German, the owner of the menagerie. The owner stands behind a wooden partition and holds a large black cigar in his mouth.
“Excuse me, please,” Nadya’s father says. - Can you let your elephant go to my house for a while?
The German opens his eyes and even his mouth wide in surprise, causing the cigar to fall to the ground. Groaning, he bends over, picks up the cigar, puts it back in his mouth, and only then says:
— Let go? Elephant? Home? I do not understand.
It can be seen from the German’s eyes that he also wants to ask if Nadya’s father has a headache... But the father hastily explains what’s the matter: his only daughter, Nadya, is sick with some strange disease, which even doctors don’t understand properly . She has been lying in bed for a month, losing weight, getting weaker every day, not interested in anything, bored and slowly fading away. Doctors tell her to entertain, but she doesn't like anything; they tell her to fulfill all her desires, but she has no desires. Today she wanted to see a live elephant. Is it really impossible to do this?
— Well... I, of course, hope that my girl will recover. But... God save... what if her illness ends badly... what if the girl dies?
The German frowns and scratches his left eyebrow with his little finger in thought. Finally he asks:
— Hm... And how old is your girl?
“Um… My Lisa is also six. Um... But, you know, it will cost you dearly. You will have to bring the elephant at night and only take it back the next night. During the day you can't. The public will gather, and there will be one scandal ... Thus, it turns out that I lose the whole day, and you must return the loss to me.
“Oh, of course, of course… don’t worry about it…”
- Then: will the police allow one elephant to go to one house?
- I'll arrange it. Allow.
- Another question: will the owner of your house allow one elephant to enter his house?
- Let me. I am the owner of this house.
— Aha! This is even better. And then another question: which floor do you live on?
— In the second.
— Hm... It's not so good anymore... Do you have a wide staircase, a high ceiling, a large room, wide doors and a very strong floor in your house? Because my Tommy is three arshins and four inches high and four arshins long. In addition, it weighs one hundred and twelve pounds.
Nadia's father thinks for a minute.
— Do you know what? he says. “Let’s go to my place now and look at everything on the spot. If necessary, I will order to expand the passage in the walls.
- Very well! - agrees the owner of the menagerie.
At night, the elephant is taken to visit a sick girl.
In a white blanket, he strides importantly along the very middle of the street, shaking his head and twisting and then developing his trunk. Around him, despite the late hour, a large crowd. But the elephant pays no attention to her: every day he sees hundreds of people in the menagerie. Only once did he get a little angry.
Some street boy ran up to his very feet and began to grimace for the amusement of onlookers.
Then the elephant calmly took off his hat with his trunk and threw it over the neighboring fence, studded with nails.
The policeman walks among the crowd and persuades her:
“Gentlemen, please leave. And what do you find so unusual here? I'm surprised! It's like they've never seen a live elephant on the street.
They approach the house. On the stairs, as well as all the way of the elephant, up to the dining room, all the doors were thrown wide open, for which it was necessary to beat off the door locks with a hammer. The same was done once when a large miraculous icon was brought into the house.
But in front of the stairs, the elephant stops in anxiety and becomes stubborn.
“We must give him some kind of treat ...” says the German. — Some sweet bun or something... But... Tommy!... Wow!... Tommy!
Nadine's father runs to a nearby bakery and buys a big round pistachio cake. The elephant shows a desire to swallow it whole, along with the cardboard box, but the German gives him only a quarter. The cake is to Tommy's taste, and he holds out his trunk for a second slice. However, the German turns out to be more cunning. Holding a delicacy in his hand, he climbs up from step to step, and the elephant with an outstretched trunk, with splayed ears, involuntarily follows him. On the court, Tommy gets the second piece.
In this way, he is led into the dining room, from where all the furniture has been taken out in advance, and the floor is thickly covered with straw ... The elephant is tied by the leg to a ring screwed into the floor. Put before him fresh carrots, cabbage and turnips. The German is located nearby, on the couch. The lights go out and everyone goes to bed.
The next day, the girl wakes up a little light in the first place asks:
- What about an elephant? He came?
- He came, - answers my mother, - but only he ordered that Nadia first wash herself, and then eat a soft-boiled egg and drink hot milk.
- Is he kind?
- He is kind. Eat, girl. Now we will go to him.
- Is he funny?
— A little. Put on a warm jacket.
The egg is quickly eaten, the milk is drunk. They put Nadya in the same stroller in which she rode when she was still so small that she could not walk at all, and they are taken to the dining room.
The elephant turns out to be much larger than Nadia thought when she looked at it in the picture. He is only a little shorter than the door, and occupies half the dining room in length. The skin on it is rough, in heavy folds. The legs are thick as pillars. A long tail with something like a broom at the end. Head in big cones. The ears are large, like mugs, and hang down. The eyes are quite tiny, but smart and kind. Fangs are cut off. The trunk is like a long snake and ends in two nostrils, and between them is a movable, flexible finger. If an elephant stretched out its trunk to its full length, then it would probably reach the window with it.
The girl is not scared at all. She is only a little struck by the enormous size of the animal. But the nanny, sixteen-year-old Polya, begins to squeal with fear.
The owner of the elephant, a German, comes up to the carriage and says:
— Good morning, young lady. Please don't be afraid. Tommy is very kind and loves children.
The girl holds out her little pale hand to the German.
- Hello. How are you? she answers. “I'm not at all afraid. And what is his name?
“Hi, Tommy,” the girl says, bowing her head. Because the elephant is so big, she does not dare to say “you” to him. - How did you sleep that night?
She holds out her hand to him. The elephant carefully takes and shakes her thin fingers with his movable strong finger and does it much more gently than Dr. Mikhail Petrovich. At the same time, the elephant shakes its head, and its small eyes are completely narrowed, as if laughing.
Does he understand everything? the German girl asks.
“Oh, absolutely everything, young lady!
But he doesn't speak?
Yes, but he doesn't speak. You know, I also have one daughter, just as small as you. Her name is Liza. Tommy is a big, very big buddy with her.
“Have you had your tea yet, Tommy?” the elephant girl asks.
The elephant again extends its trunk and blows warm strong breath into the very face of the girl, which is why the light hair on the girl's head scatters in all directions.
Nadia laughs and claps her hands. The German laughs hard. He himself is as big, fat and good-natured as an elephant, and it seems to Nadia that they both look alike. Maybe they are related?
— No, he didn't drink tea, young lady. But he enjoys drinking sugar water. He also loves buns.
They bring a tray of rolls. The girl feeds the elephant. He deftly grabs the roll with his finger and, bending his trunk into a ring, hides it somewhere down under his head, where his funny, triangular, furry lower lip moves. You can hear the bun rustling against dry skin. Tommy does the same with the other roll, and the third, and the fourth, and the fifth, and nods his head in gratitude, and his little eyes narrow even more with pleasure. And the girl laughs happily.
When all the rolls are eaten, Nadia introduces the elephant to her dolls:
“Look, Tommy, this fancy doll is Sonya. She is a very kind child, but a little capricious and does not want to eat soup. And this is Natasha, Sonya's daughter. She is already starting to learn and knows almost all the letters. And this is Matryoshka. This is my very first doll. You see, she has no nose, and her head is glued on, and there is no more hair. But still, you can’t kick the old woman out of the house. Really, Tommy? She used to be Sonya's mother, and now she serves as our cook. Well, let's play, Tommy: you will be a dad, and I will be a mom, and these will be our children.
Tommy agrees. He laughs, takes Matryoshka by the neck and drags it into his mouth. But this is just a joke.
Having lightly chewed the doll, he again puts it on the girl's knees, though a little wet and rumpled.
Then Nadia shows him a large book with pictures and explains:
- This is a horse, this is a canary, this is a gun ... Here is a cage with a bird, here is a bucket, a mirror, a stove, a shovel, a crow ... And this, look, this is an elephant! Doesn't it really look like it? Are elephants really that small, Tommy?
Tommy finds that there are never such little elephants in the world. In general, he does not like this picture. He grabs the edge of the page with his finger and turns it over.
The hour of dinner comes, but the girl cannot be torn away from the elephant. The German comes to the rescue
“Let me arrange it all. They will have lunch together.
He orders the elephant to sit down. The elephant obediently sits down, causing the floor in the entire apartment to shake and the crockery in the closet rattles, and plaster falls from the ceiling of the lower tenants. A girl sits in front of him. A table is placed between them. The tablecloth is tied around the elephant's neck, and the new friends begin to dine. The girl is eating chicken soup and a cutlet, and the elephant is eating various vegetables and a salad. The girl is given a tiny glass of sherry, and the elephant is given warm water with a glass of rum, and he happily pulls this drink out of the bowl with his trunk. Then they get a sweet - a girl a cup of cocoa, and an elephant half a cake, this time hazelnut. The German at this time is sitting with dad in the living room and with the same pleasure as the elephant, he drinks beer, only in larger quantities.
After dinner, some of my father's acquaintances come, they are warned about the elephant in the hall so that they are not afraid. At first they do not believe, and then, seeing Tommy, they press close to the door.
Don't be afraid, he's kind! The girl reassures them.
But the acquaintances hurriedly leave for the living room and, without spending even five minutes, leave.
Evening comes. Late. It's time for the girl to sleep. However, it cannot be pulled away from the elephant. She falls asleep next to him, and she is already taken to the nursery, already sleepy. She doesn't even hear her being undressed.
That night Nadya sees in a dream that she has married Tommy and they have many children, small, cheerful baby elephants. The elephant, which was taken to the menagerie at night, also sees in a dream a sweet, affectionate girl. In addition, he dreams of large cakes, walnut and pistachio, the size of a gate ...
In the morning the girl wakes up cheerful, fresh, and, as in the old days, when she was still healthy, she shouts to the whole house, loudly and impatiently:
- Mo-loch-ka!
Hearing this cry, mother joyfully crosses herself in her bedroom. But the girl immediately remembers yesterday and asks:
- And the elephant?
They explain to her that the elephant has gone home on business, that he has children who cannot be left alone, that he asked to bow to Nadia and that he is waiting for her to visit him when she is healthy.
The girl smiles slyly and says:
"Tell Tommy I'm all right now!"

Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin was born on September 7, 1870 in the city of Narovchat, Penza province, into a poor noble family of an official. The father died when the boy was in his second year. Mother moved to Moscow and sent Sasha to an orphanage. Later, Kuprin wrote about his childhood “Sometimes, in early childhood you would return to the boarding school after a long summer vacation. Everything is gray, barracks-like, it smells of fresh paint and mastic, the comrades are rude, the authorities are unfriendly. While the day is still holding on somehow, but when the evening comes, and the fuss in the dimly lit bedroom subsides, oh, what unbearable sorrow, what despair seizes a small thought! You gnaw on the pillow, suppressing sobs, whispering cute names and crying, crying, crying…” Often people who experience difficulties in childhood learn to overcome them steadfastly. Kuprin graduated from a military school and served in an infantry regiment for several years. Then he left military service and traveled a lot around Russia. Contemporaries wrote about Kuprin as a muscular strongman with keen eyes, an energetic, strong-willed, gambling and even risky person. He lived in constant motion, searching: at the age of 43, he learned to swim from the world record holder, went up in a balloon with another famous athlete, and was one of the first in the world to descend to the seabed in a diving suit. He loved the circus, animals, especially horses. All his friends and acquaintances were amazing people: a famous wrestler, trainer, clown, singer, writer. Many different stories were written by Kuprin for adults, but he also has stories for children. We will meet one of them today.

Approaching the estate, they noticed that someone's horse climbed into the oats. A friend wanted to drive this horse away, but Alexander Ivanovich grabbed her by the bangs and brought her into the house. He mounted her, forced her to climb the steps of the balcony and, like a capricious child, insisted that they leave her to spend the night in the house, and tied her near his bed. “I want to know when and how the horse sleeps,” he said, “I want to be with her.” The next day the same story was repeated, but another horse was brought.

I was worried about her condition, but I could not help her in any way, although I tried to fulfill her every whim. One day she asked to bring a live elephant into the house. I was so afraid for her that I decided to fulfill her unusual request. I went to the menagerie and begged the owner to lend the smartest and wisest elephant. He walked towards me.

My name is Tommy. I work in a menagerie with other animals. Our host is German. He is a good trainer, and his six-year-old daughter Lisa is my little friend. Every evening I, along with two other elephants, I participate in the performance. One evening there was no such performance, and I was led through the streets of a big city to a house. I was warmly received there and deliciously fed pistachio cake. The mistress of the house turned out to be a girl Nadia, very well-mannered, good and kind. For some reason she was sick. We spent the whole day with her. I enjoyed playing with her and eating at the same table. I played dolls with her and helped her read. Then I was fed deliciously, and for dessert there was a walnut cake. When I returned to the menagerie, I saw in a dream this affectionate and sweet girl.

11. Summing up and homework.
Teacher: I also want to evaluate your work. Today you were real smart girls, you worked very well and actively at the lesson. I want to say “Thank you for the lesson” to you and give these hearts as a keepsake. We talked a lot about the love of parents for children. What can you do for mom and dad to make them happy? Write on hearts. We will not read. It is not worth shouting about your good deeds, because, as the English proverb says, "He who is truly good does good in silence." It turned out a heart that can help many people in difficult times. "After all, the one who knows how to give joy to people is happy."
