SILVER HOOF

Pavel Bazhov

An old man lived in our factory alone, nicknamed Kokovanya. Kokovani had no family left, and he came up with the idea of taking an orphan as a child. I asked the neighbors if they knew anyone, and the neighbors said:

- Recently, the family of Grigory Potopaev was orphaned on Glinka. The clerk ordered the older girls to be taken to the master's needlework, but no one needs one girl in the sixth year. Here you take it.

- It's not convenient for me with a girl. Boy would be better. I would teach him my business, I would raise an accomplice. How about the girl? What am I going to teach her?

Then he thought and thought and said:

- I knew Gregory and his wife too. Both were funny and smart. If a girl goes after her parents, she will not be sad in the hut. I'll take her. Will it just go?

Neighbors explain:

She has a bad life. The clerk gave the hut to Grigoriev to someone and ordered the orphan to be fed until she grows up. And he has a family of more than a dozen. They don't eat enough on their own. Here the hostess eats up the orphan, reproaches her with a piece. Even though she is small, she understands. It's a shame for her. How can one not go from such a life! Yes, and persuade, come on.

- And that's true, - answers Kokovanya, - I'll persuade you somehow.

On a holiday, he came to those people with whom the orphan lived. He sees that the hut is full of people, big and small. On the trestle bed, by the stove, a girl is sitting, and next to her is a brown cat. The girl is small, and the cat is small and so thin and skinned that rarely anyone will let her into the hut. The girl strokes this cat, and she purrs so loudly that you can hear it all over the hut.

Kokovanya looked at the girl and asked:

- Is this a gift from you Grigorieva?

The hostess replies:

- She is the best. Not only one, so she picked up a tattered cat somewhere. We can't drive away. She scratched all my guys, and even feed her!

Kokovanya and says:

- Unkind, apparently, your guys. She's purring.

Then he asks the orphan:

- Well, how, darling, will you come to live with me?

The girl was surprised

- You, grandfather, how did you know that my name is Darenka?

- Yes, - he answers, - it just happened. I didn’t think, I didn’t guess, I accidentally hit it.

– Who are you? - the girl asks.

- I, says, like a hunter. In the summer I wash the sands, mine gold, and in the winter I run through the forests for a goat and I can’t see everything.

- Will you shoot him?

“No,” Kokovanya answers. - I shoot simple goats, but I won’t do this. I have to look at the hunt, in which place he stomps with his right front leg.

- What is it for you?

“But if you come to live with me, I’ll tell you everything,” answered Kokovanya.

The girl was curious about the goat to find out. And then he sees - the old man is cheerful and affectionate. She says:

- I'll go. Only you take this cat Murenka too. Look how good.

- About this, - answers Kokovanya, - what to say. Do not take such a sonorous cat - you will remain a fool. Instead of a balalaika, she will be in our hut.

The owner hears their conversation. Radehonka is glad that Kokovanya is calling the orphan to her. I quickly began to collect Darenka's belongings. Afraid lest the old man change his mind.

The cat seems to understand the whole conversation too. Rubs at the nail and purrs:

- I guessed right. Correct.

So Kokovanya took the orphan to live with him.

He himself is big and bearded, and she is tiny and has a small nose with a button. They are walking down the street, and a skinned cat jumps after them.

So the grandfather Kokovanya, the orphan Darenka and the cat Murenka began to live together. They lived and lived, they didn’t make much good, but they didn’t cry for life, and everyone had a job.

Kokovanya left for work in the morning. Darenka cleaned up in the hut, cooked stew and cooked porridge, and the cat Murenka went hunting - she caught mice. By the evening they will gather, and they will have fun.

The old man was a master of telling fairy tales, Darenka loved to listen to those tales, and the cat Murenka lies and purrs:

- He speaks correctly. Correct.

Only after every fairy tale will Darenka remind you:

- Grandfather, tell me about the goat. What is he?

Kokovanya made excuses at first, then he said:

That goat is special. He has a silver hoof on his right front foot. In what place he stomps with this hoof - there an expensive stone will appear. Once he stomps - one stone, two stomps - two stones, and where he starts to beat with his foot - there is a pile of expensive stones.

He said this, and was not happy. From that time on, Darenka's only conversation was about this goat.

- Grandpa, is he big?

Kokovanya told her that the goat was not taller than the table, the legs were thin, and the head was light. And Darenka asks again:

- Grandfather, does he have horns?

- Horns, - he answers, - he has excellent ones. Simple goats have two branches, and he has five branches.

- Grandfather, who does he eat?

- No one, - answers, - does not eat. It feeds on grass and leaves. Well, hay also eats up in stacks in winter.

- Grandfather, what kind of fur does he have?

- In the summer, - he answers, - brown, like our Murenka, and gray in winter.

- Grandfather, is he stuffy?

Kokovanya even got angry:

- How stuffy? There are such domestic goats, and a forest goat, he smells like a forest.

Kokovanya began to gather in the forest in the fall. He should have looked in which direction the goats graze more. Darenka and let's ask:

- Take me, grandfather, with you. Maybe I can even see that goat from afar.

Kokovanya and explains to her:

- You can't see it from a distance. All goats have horns in autumn. You can't figure out how many branches they have. In winter, it's a different matter. Simple goats go without horns, but this one. silver hoof, always with horns, even in summer, even in winter. Then it can be recognized from afar.

This is what he answered. Darenka remained at home, but Kokovanya went into the woods.

Five days later, Kokovanya returned home, tells Darenka:

“Now there are a lot of goats grazing in Poldnevskaya side. I will go there in the winter.

- And how, - asks Darenka, - will you spend the night in the forest in winter?

- There, - he answers, - I have a winter booth near the mowing spoons. A good farce, with a hearth, with a window. It's good there.

Darenka asks again:

“Silver hoof is grazing in the same direction?”

- Who knows. Maybe he's there too.

Darenka is here and let's ask:

- Take me, grandfather, with you. I'll sit in the booth Maybe the Silver Hoof will come close - I'll take a look.

The old man waved his hands.

- What you! What you! Is it a good thing for a little girl to walk through the woods in winter! You have to ski, but you don't know how. Load it up in the snow. How will I be with you? You will still freeze!

Only Darenka does not lag behind:

- Take it, grandfather! I don't know much about skiing.

Kokovanya dissuaded, dissuaded, then he thought to himself:

"Is it possible to reduce? Once he visits, he will not be asked for another."

Here he says:

- Okay, I'll take it. Only, mind you, don’t roar in the forest and don’t ask to go home until the time.

As winter entered in full force, they began to gather in the forest. Kokovanya laid two sacks of breadcrumbs on a hand sledge, stocked him with hunting supplies and other things he needed. Darenka also tied a knot on herself. Patchwork took the doll to sew a dress, a ball of thread, a needle, and even a rope.

"Isn't it possible, - he thinks, - to catch the Silver Hoof with this rope?"

It’s a pity for Darenka to leave her cat, but what can you do. Stroking the cat goodbye, talking to her:

- We, Murenka, will go to the forest with my grandfather, and you sit at home, catch mice. As soon as we see the Silver Hoof, we will return. I'll tell you everything then.

The cat looks slyly, and purrs herself:

- I guessed it right. Correct.

Let Kokovanya and Darenka go. All neighbors marvel:

“The old man is out of his mind!” He took such a little girl into the woods in winter!

As soon as Kokovanya and Darenka began to leave the factory, they heard that the little dogs were very worried about something. They raised such barking and squealing, as if they saw an animal on the streets. They looked around - and this is Murenka running in the middle of the street, fighting off the dogs. Murenka had recovered by that time. Big and healthy. Dogs don't even dare to approach her.

Darenka wanted to catch the cat and take it home, but where are you! Murenka ran to the forest, and to the pine tree. Go get it!

Darenka shouted, but she could not lure the cat. What to do? Let's move on. They look - Murenka runs sideways. And so I got to the booth.

So there were three of them in the booth. Darenka boasts:

- It's more fun that way.

Kokovanya agrees:

- It's more fun, you know.

And the cat Murenka curled up in a ball by the stove and purrs loudly:

There were a lot of goats that winter. It's simple. Kokovanya dragged one or two to the booth every day. They accumulated skins, salted goat meat - they couldn’t be taken away on hand sleds. We should go to the factory for a horse, but how to leave Darenka with a cat in the forest! And Darenka got used to it in the forest. She says to the old man:

- Dedo, you should go to the factory for a horse. You have to take the corned beef home.

Kokovanya was even surprised:

- What a wise man you are, Darya Grigorievna. How big judged. Just be afraid, come on, alone.

- What, - answers, - to be afraid. Our farce is strong, the wolves cannot achieve. And Murenka is with me. I'm not afraid. And you quickly turn around all the same!

Kokovanya left. Darenka remained with Murenka. During the day, it was customary to sit without Kokovani while he tracked the goats ... As it began to get dark, I became afraid. Just looking - Murenka lies calmly. Darenka and cheered up. She sat down by the window, looked in the direction of the slanting spoons and saw - some kind of lump was rolling through the forest. As it rolled closer, I saw it was a goat running. The legs are thin, the head is light, and on the horns there are five branches.

Darenka ran out to look, but no one was there. She turned back and said:

Apparently, I fell asleep. It seemed to me.

Murenka purrs:

- You speak correctly. Correct.

Darenka lay down next to the cat, and fell asleep until the morning.

Another day has passed. Kokovanya did not return. Darenka became bored, but did not cry. Stroking Murenka and saying:

- Do not be bored, Murenushka! Tomorrow grandfather will certainly come.

Murenka sings his song:

- You speak correctly. Correct.

Again Darenushka sat by the window and admired the stars. I wanted to go to bed, suddenly a clatter passed along the wall. Darenka was frightened, and there was a clatter along the other wall, then along the one where the window was, then where the door was, and there was a rattling from above. Not loudly, as if someone light and fast walks.

Darenka thinks:

"Didn't that goat yesterday come running?"

And before that she wanted to see that fear did not hold. She opened the door, looked, and the goat was here, quite close. He raised his right front leg - he stomps, and on it a silver hoof glistens, and the goat's horns have five branches. Darenka does not know what to do, and beckons him like a home:

- Me-ka! Me-ka!

The goat laughed at this. Turned around and ran.

Darenushka came to the booth, tells Murenka:

I looked at the Silver Hoof. And I saw the horns, and I saw the hoof. I didn’t see only how that goat knocks out expensive stones with his foot. Another time, apparently, will show.

Murenka, know, sings his song:

- You speak correctly. Correct.

The third day has passed, but Kokovani is gone. Darenka was completely clouded. Tears were buried. I wanted to talk to Murenka, but she was not there. Then Darenushka was completely frightened, ran out of the booth to look for the cat.

The night is monthly, bright, far visible. Darenka looks - a cat is sitting close on a slanting spoon, and a goat is in front of her. He stands, raised his leg, and on it a silver hoof glistens.

Murenka shakes his head, and so does the goat. It's like they're talking. Then they began to run along the mowing spoons. A goat is running, stop and let's beat with a hoof. Murenka will run up, the goat will bounce further and beat with its hoof again. For a long time they ran along the mowing spoons. They were not visible. Then they returned to the booth itself.

Then the goat jumped onto the roof and let's hit it with a silver hoof. Like sparks, pebbles fell from under the legs. Red, blue, green, turquoise - all sorts.

By this time, just Kokovanya returned. Can't recognize his booth. All of it has become like a heap of expensive stones. So it burns and shimmers with different lights. A goat stands at the top - and everything beats and beats with a silver hoof, and the stones roll in and roll out. Suddenly Murenka jumped there too. She stood next to the goat, meowed loudly, and neither Murenka nor Silver Hoof was gone.

Kokovanya immediately raked up half a hat of stones, but Darenka asked:

“Don’t touch it, grandfather, we’ll have another look at it tomorrow afternoon.”

Kokovanya obeyed. Only in the morning, a lot of snow fell. All the stones fell asleep. Then they raked the snow, but found nothing. Well, that was enough for them, how much Kokovanya got into his hat.

Everything would be fine, but Murenka is a pity. She was never seen again, and Silverhoof didn't show up either. Amuse once - and will be.

And on those slanting spoons where the goat rode, people began to find pebbles. More green ones. They are called chrysolites. Did you see?

An old man lived in our factory alone, nicknamed Kokovanya. Kokovani had no family left, and he came up with the idea of taking an orphan as a child. I asked my neighbors, they don't know...

Kokovanya and says:

Unkind, apparently, your guys. She's purring.

Then he asks the orphan:

The cat seems to understand the whole conversation too. It rubs at the feet and purrs: “R-correctly thought it up. Correct.”

So Kokovanya took the orphan to live with him. He himself is big and bearded, and she is tiny, and has a small nose with a button. They are walking down the street, and a skinned cat jumps after them.

So the grandfather Kokovanya, the orphan Darena and the cat Muryonka began to live together. They lived and lived, they didn’t make much good, but they didn’t cry for living, and everyone had a job.

But how, - asks Daryonka, - will you spend the night in the forest in winter?

There, - he answers, - I have a winter booth near the mowing spoons. A good farce, with a hearth, with a window. It's good there.

Daryonka asks again:

What you! What you! Is it a good thing for a little girl to walk through the woods in winter! You have to ski, but you don't know how. Load it up in the snow. How will I be with you? Freeze more!

Only Daryonka does not lag behind:

Take it, grandfather! I don't know much about skiing. Kokovanya dissuaded, dissuaded, then he thought to himself: “Is it possible to reduce? Once he visits, he will not be asked for another.

The mountain is covered with forest; on top of a large stone, from which the surroundings are clearly visible (25–30 kilometers). There is a cave in the mountain with a collapsed entrance.

The captured was formed in the cave of the Azov-mountain. There were tales of another version - about the "main wealth", which is located in the same Azov Mountain. The basis for the tales of this option was probably the fact that the first copper mines in this region (Polevskoy and Gumeshevsky) and deposits were discovered on the plain near Azov. white marble.

Aida, aida-ko - from Tatar. It was used in factory life quite often in various meanings: 1) come, come; 2) let's go, let's go; 3) go, go. “Come here”, “Well, come on, guys, go home!”, “Dumped the cart - and go home.” Artut - mercury.

One gumenets (Polevskoy mine), near which Gennin built a copper smelter in 1727, did not live up to the hopes placed on it; the second (Gumeshevsky mine) brought fabulous profits to the owners of factories for over a hundred years. The size of these profits can be judged at least by such figures. The factory price of a pood of copper was 3 r. 50 kopecks, the state price at which copper was sold was 8 rubles, and there were years when copper smelting reached 48,000 poods. It is understandable, therefore, that such influential people at the royal court as the Stroganovs tried to "pull off the Gumeshki", and it is even more understandable what a terrible underground penal servitude this copper mountain of the Turchaninovs was for the workers.

Now a large cryolite plant has been organized here, around which a socialist town has unfolded. Against the backdrop of construction, the old industrial settlement now seems like a miserable village.

The name of the mountain near the Nyazepetrovsky plant - Kataisky Hill - should also be considered a monument to this ancient road. Old people. - Maybe because the Polevskoy plant was built on the site of ancient ore mines - “Chudsky” kapans, stories about “old people” were alive here. In these stories, the "old people" were portrayed in different ways. Some said that “old people” lived in the earth like moles, and then they covered themselves up when “other peoples” came to this region; others said that the "old people" took copper only from above, but did not know gold at all and lived by hunting and fishing. It was assumed that the layer of earth on which the "old people" lived was already so littered from above that it was necessary to "dig" up to this layer. “We dug to the ground where the old people lived - there is no gold.

Sysert factories- a group of five factories owned on the so-called possession right first by the Turchaninovs, then by the Solomirsky. This group was called the Sysert mountain district. There were three ironworks in the eastern part of the district: Sysertsky, the main plant of the district, Verkh-Sysertsky (Upper), Nizhne-Sysertsky (Ilyinsky) - all on the river Sysert Obskaya water system(via Iset). In the western part of the district there were factories: Polevskoy and Seversky on the rivers of the Volga system (through the Chusovaya). "Zavodskaya dacha" - the territory of the district; was 239,707 acres; By modern measure over 2600 sq. kilometers - 260,000 hectares. In addition to factory settlements, in the eastern part of the district there were villages: Kashina, Kosmakova (Kazarina), and villages: Abramovskoye, Averinskoye, Shchelkunskoye; in the western part: Kungurskoye, the village of Kosoy Brod and Poldnevskoye. In the past, they were inhabited either by serfs or Turchaninov's "obliged workers". After the fall of serfdom, many of the inhabitants of these villages were also engaged exclusively in factory work. The total population of factories and settlements located on the territory of the factory district slightly exceeded thirty-two thousand people, or twelve people per square meter. kilometer. Arable land is only among the rural population, and even then more outside the factory dacha. The inhabitants of factory settlements did not have plowing at all, and almost the entire “factory dacha” was occupied by forests, in which more than 2,400 acres of clear felling and 7,500 acres of selective felling were annually cut down. On the territory of the district, there were up to forty iron mines, eight owner-owned gold mines and mines, and over a hundred gold placers (no more than a third was developed); in addition, talc, refractory clay, lime, marble, and chrysolites were mined. Cuprous and sulphurous pyrites were not developed at the time of the narrator; they were considered an obalchik - an empty rock. At that time, one tract road to Chelyabinsk passed through the territory of the Sysert district; there was no railroad West Side The county was especially deaf. The distance between the eastern and western groups was about forty kilometers; the distance between Polevsky and Seversky is seven kilometers. The commonality of the factory economy was also reflected in the tales. Sysert is especially often mentioned as the main plant of the district, as well as Seversky and the village of Kosoy Brod - as the nearest ones.

In the tales, the first owner usually appears - the "old master". According to historical materials, he really was already an old man when he begged for factories. He was one of the merchants, was listed "in the rank of a land captain", but did not have a noble rank, and with it the right to buy peasants. This, however, did not prevent Turchaninov from populating the factories with “breds” from the northern regions. During the Pugachev uprising, Turchaninov managed to keep most of the workers in obedience by a system of deceit, threats, cruelties and promises, and almost one of the Ural plant owners did not suffer material damage to the factories. Catherine II highly appreciated this resourcefulness of Turchaninov and wrote in her letter: “For such commendable and noble deeds, especially committed in 1773 and 1774, to raise him and descendants with his children and descendants to the noble dignity of the Russian Empire.” It is not surprising that this cunning, dexterous and cruel old man remained in the memory of the factory population.

An old man lived in our factory alone, nicknamed Kokovanya. Kokovani had no family left, and he came up with the idea of taking an orphan as a child. I asked the neighbors - do they know anyone, and the neighbors say:

- It's not convenient for me with a girl. Boy would be better. I would teach him my business, I would raise an accomplice. How about the girl? What am I going to teach her?

Then he thought and thought and said:

- I knew Grigory, and his wife too. Both were funny and smart. If a girl goes after her parents, she will not be sad in the hut. I'll take her. Will it just go?

Neighbors explain:

She has a bad life. The clerk gave the hut to Grigoriev to some goryuny and ordered for this to feed the orphan until she grows up. And he has a family of more than a dozen. They don't eat enough on their own. Here the hostess eats up the orphan, reproaches her with a piece. Even though she is small, she understands. It's a shame for her. How can one not go from such a life! Yes, and persuade, come on.

“And that’s true,” Kokovanya answers, “I’ll persuade you somehow.”

On a holiday, he came to those people with whom the orphan lived. He sees that the hut is full of people, big and small. On a golbchik, by the stove, a girl is sitting, and next to her is a brown cat. The girl is small, and the cat is small and so thin and skinned that rarely anyone will let her into the hut. The girl strokes this cat, and she purrs so loudly that you can hear it all over the hut.

Kokovanya looked at the girl and asked:

- Is this a gift from you Grigorieva?

The hostess replies:

- She is the best. Not only one, so I picked up a tattered cat somewhere. We can't drive away. She scratched all my guys, and even feed her!

Kokovanya and says:

- Unkind, apparently, your guys. She's purring.

Then he asks the orphan:

- Well, how, darling, will you come to live with me?

The girl was surprised

- You, grandfather, how did you know that my name is Darenka?

- Yes, - he answers, - it just happened. I didn’t think, I didn’t guess, I accidentally hit it.

– Who are you? the girl asks.

“I,” he says, “is like a hunter. In the summer I wash the sands, mine gold, and in the winter I run through the forests for a goat and I can’t see everything.

- Will you shoot him?

“No,” Kokovanya answers. - I shoot simple goats, but I won’t do this. I have to look at the hunt, in which place he stomps with his right front leg.

- What is it for you?

“But if you come to live with me, I’ll tell you everything,” Kokovanya answered.

The girl was curious about the goat to find out. And then he sees - the old man is cheerful and affectionate. She says:

- I'll go. Only you take this cat Murenka too. Look how good.

- About this, - answers Kokovanya, - what to say. You can’t take such a sonorous cat - you will remain a fool. Instead of a balalaika, she will be in our hut.

The owner hears their conversation. Radehonka is glad that Kokovanya is calling the orphan to her. I quickly began to collect Darenka's belongings. Afraid lest the old man change his mind.

The cat seems to understand the whole conversation too. It rubs at the feet and purrs:

- I guessed right. Correct.

So Kokovanya took the orphan to live with him.

He himself is big and bearded, and she is tiny and has a small nose with a button. They are walking down the street, and a skinned cat jumps after them.

The old man was a master of telling fairy tales, Darenka loved to listen to those tales, and the cat Murenka lies and purrs:

- He speaks correctly. Correct.

Only after every fairy tale will Darenka remind you:

- Grandfather, tell me about the goat. What is he?

Kokovanya made excuses at first, then he said:

He said this, and was not happy. From that time on, Darenka's only conversation was about this goat.

- Grandpa, is he big?

Kokovanya told her that the goat was not taller than the table, the legs were thin, and the head was light.

And Darenka asks again:

- Grandfather, does he have horns?

“Horns,” he answers, “he has excellent ones. Simple goats have two branches, and he has five branches.

- Grandfather, who does he eat?

“No one,” he answers, “does not eat. It feeds on grass and leaves. Well, hay also eats up in stacks in winter.

- Grandfather, what kind of fur does he have?

- In summer, - he answers, - brown, like our Murenka, and gray in winter.

- Grandfather, is he stuffy?

Kokovanya even got angry:

- How stuffy! There are such domestic goats, and a forest goat, he smells like a forest.

Kokovanya began to gather in the forest in the fall. He should have looked in which direction the goats graze more. Darenka and let's ask:

- Take me, grandfather, with you. Maybe I can even see that goat from afar.

Kokovanya and explains to her:

- You can't see it from a distance. All goats have horns in autumn. You can't figure out how many branches they have. In winter, it's a different matter. Simple goats go without horns, but this one, the Silver Hoof, always has horns, even in summer, even in winter. Then it can be recognized from afar.

This is what he answered. Darenka remained at home, but Kokovanya went into the woods.

Five days later, Kokovanya returned home, tells Darenka:

“Now there are a lot of goats grazing in Poldnevskaya side. I will go there in the winter.

- And how, - asks Darenka, - will you spend the night in the forest in winter?

- There, - he answers, - I have a winter booth near the mowing spoons. A good farce, with a hearth, with a window. It's good there.

Darenka asks again:

“Silver hoof is grazing in the same direction?”

- Who knows. Maybe he's there too.

Darenka is here and let's ask:

- Take me, grandfather, with you. I will sit in the booth. Maybe Silverhoof will come close, I'll see.

The old man waved his hands.

Only Darenka does not lag behind:

- Take it, grandfather! I don't know much about skiing.

Kokovanya dissuaded, dissuaded, then he thought to himself:

“Bring it together? Once he visits, he will not be asked for another.

Here he says:

- Okay, I'll take it. Only, mind you, don’t roar in the forest and don’t ask to go home until the time.

“Is it possible,” he thinks, “to catch the Silver Hoof with this rope?”

It’s a pity for Darenka to leave her cat, but what can you do. Stroking the cat goodbye, talking to her:

- We, Murenka, will go to the forest with my grandfather, and you sit at home, catch mice. As soon as we see the Silver Hoof, we will return. I'll tell you everything then.

The cat looks slyly, and purrs herself:

- I guessed it right. Correct.

Let Kokovanya and Darenka go. All neighbors marvel:

“The old man is out of his mind!” He took such a little girl into the woods in winter!

As Kokovanya and Darenka began to leave the factory, they heard that the little dogs were very worried about something. They raised such barking and squealing, as if they saw an animal on the streets. They looked around - and this is Murenka running in the middle of the street, fighting off the dogs. Murenka had recovered by that time. Big and healthy. Dogs don't even dare to approach her.

Darenka wanted to catch the cat and take it home, but where are you! Murenka ran to the forest, and to the pine tree. Go get it!

Darenka shouted, she could not lure the cat. What to do? Let's move on. They look - Murenka runs sideways. And so I got to the booth.

So there were three of them in the booth. Darenka boasts:

- It's more fun that way.

Kokovanya agrees:

- It's more fun, you know.

And the cat Murenka curled up in a ball by the stove and purrs loudly:

- Dedo, you should go to the factory for a horse. You have to take the corned beef home.

Kokovanya was even surprised:

- What a wise man you are, Darya Grigorievna. How big judged. Just be afraid, come on, alone.

- What, - answers, - to be afraid. Our farce is strong, the wolves cannot achieve. And Murenka is with me. I'm not afraid. And you quickly turn around all the same!

Darenka ran out to look, but no one was there. She turned back and said:

Apparently, I fell asleep. It seemed to me.

Murenka purrs:

- You speak correctly. Correct.

Darenka lay down next to the cat, and fell asleep until the morning.

Another day has passed. Kokovanya did not return. Darenka became bored, but did not cry. Stroking Murenka and saying:

- Do not be bored, Murenushka! Tomorrow grandfather will certainly come.

Murenka sings his song:

- You speak correctly. Correct.

“Didn’t that goat yesterday come running?”

And before that she wanted to see that fear did not hold. She opened the door, looked, and the goat was here, quite close. He raised his right front leg - he would stomp, and on it a silver hoof glistens, and the goat's horns have five branches. Darenka does not know what to do, and beckons him like a home:

- Me-ka! Me-ka!

The goat laughed at this. Turned around and ran.

Darenushka came to the booth, tells Murenka:

I looked at the Silver Hoof. And I saw the horns, and I saw the hoof. I didn’t see only how that goat knocks out expensive stones with his foot. Another time, apparently, will show.

Murenka know your song sings:

- You speak correctly. Correct.

The night is monthly, bright, far visible. Darenka looks - a cat is sitting close on a slanting spoon, and a goat is in front of her. He stands, raised his leg, and on it a silver hoof glistens.

Murenka shakes his head, and so does the goat. It's like they're talking. Then they began to run along the mowing spoons. The goat runs and runs, stops and starts to beat with a hoof. Murenka will run up, the goat will bounce further and beat with its hoof again. For a long time they ran along the mowing spoons. They were not visible. Then they returned to the booth itself.

During the classes

I. Organizational moment.

II. Learning new material.

1. Acquaintance with the life and work of the writer.

– On one of the hot July days of 1936, in the garden, under a spreading linden, the Bazhov family gathered: daughters, wife - Valentina Alexandrovna and he - Pavel Petrovich. Neighbors, relatives, friends, acquaintances came. The silver wedding of Pavel Petrovich and Valentina Alexandrovna was celebrated.

When the warmest wishes were expressed, the pies prepared by the mistress of the house were eaten, more than one cup of tea was drunk, Pavel Petrovich got up and said:

– I've prepared a gift for my wife Valentina Alexandrovna. He put aside his long-extinguished pipe and slowly took out sheets of paper written in large clear letters from the inside pocket of his jacket.

– What a gift, - Pavel Petrovich looked around at the guests.

– Tale of the Mistress of the Copper Mountain. I was in a hurry to finish this day. Managed…

– Went once two of our factory grass to look. And their mowing was far ...

There is an opinion that the "Malachite Box" turned out to be a complete surprise in the creative activity of Pavel Bazhov. Before the appearance of Bazhov's tales, few knew as a writer, despite the fact that he, an active journalist, was the author of not only numerous newspaper essays, feuilletons, correspondence, but also the author of two essay books about the Sysert factories, which were located near Yekaterinburg, and later - author of historical and revolutionary books. The first edition of The Malachite Box was published in 1939, when its author was 60 years old. But the appearance of tales was not an accident. Bazhov's tales are the result of his entire long life.

P.P. was born Bazhov 135 years ago on January 28, 1879 in the family of the worker of the Sysert plant, Pyotr Vasilyevich Bazhov. When Pavel grew up a little, his mother showed him the letters (she learned to read and write on her own), and then the boy studied at a factory school in Sysert, he studied perfectly. What Pavel saw, heard and experienced in childhood and youth, he never forgot, including the stories of his grandmother. From her, for the first time, he heard stories about Copper Mountain, which later became the basis of Bazhov's tales. Pavel learned many tales from Vasily Alekseevich Khmelinin, Slyshko's grandfather. After many years, he will return to the tales of grandfather Slyshko, and they will become a kind of canvas for his tales.

Pavel Petrovich received a spiritual education, worked as a teacher for a long time, participated in civil war was a correspondent. IN fiction came late, at the age of 57, but managed to create a whole collection of Tales of the Old Urals. In just 14 years, he wrote over 40 tales. His first collection is called The Malachite Box.

The stories of P. P. Bazhov were very fond of the readers. They were published in millions of copies in many languages of the world.

Based on the tales of P. P. Bazhov, the film “The Stone Flower” (directed by A. L. Ptushko), the ballet “The Tale of the Stone Flower” (author S. S. Prokofiev), the opera “The Tale of the Stone Flower” (author K. V. Molchanov), symphonic poem "Azov Mountain" (author A. A. Muravlev) ...

A story is not a story or a fairy tale. The word skaz itself comes from the word to say, i.e. speak. The tale contains both real events and fantastic ones. The narration in tales is conducted on behalf of the author. The tale "Silver Hoof" is a very famous work, there is even such a cartoon.
