Once in a library in the evening, the characters of Russian literature about Ivan the Fool started talking and arguing. "I'm ashamed," she said. Poor Lisa- that he is with us. “It’s also embarrassing for me to stand next to him,” Oblomov said. “He stinks of footcloths.” “Let him get a certificate that he is smart,” suggested Poor Liza. "Where will he get it?" - objected Ilya Muromets.
"At the Sage. And let him have time to do it before the third roosters. They argued for a long time, and finally Ilya Muromets said: “Go, Vanka. Necessary. You see, they are all…scientists. Remember, don’t burn in fire, don’t drown in water… I can’t vouch for the rest.”
Ivan bowed to everyone with a bow: "Do not remember dashingly if I disappear." And went.
Walked, walked, sees - the light glows. There is a hut on chicken legs, and around it is heaped brick, slate, all kinds of lumber. Baba Yaga came out onto the porch: “Who is this?”
"Ivan is a fool. I'm going to the Sage for help." - "Are you really a fool or just a simple-hearted one?" - “What are you, Baba Yaga, driving at?” - “Yes, when I saw you, I immediately thought: oh, and a talented guy! Can you build?" - “He chopped the tower with his father. Why you asking?" “I want to build a cottage.
Will you take it?" - "I have no time. I'm going for help." “Ah,” said Baba Yaga ominously, “now I understand who I am dealing with. Simulator! Rogue! The last time I ask: will you build? - "Not". - "In the oven it!" Baba Yaga screamed. Four guards grabbed Ivan and pushed him into the furnace. And then bells rang out in the courtyard. “My daughter is coming,” Baba Yaga was delighted. - With the groom, Serpent Gorynych. A daughter entered the hut, also terrible and also with a mustache.
“Fufufu,” she said. “It smells of Russian spirit.” - "And I'm frying this Ivan." The daughter looked into the oven, and from there - either crying, or laughter.
“Oh, I can’t,” Ivan groans. “I won’t die from fire, from laughter.” - "What are you?" - “Yes, I laugh at your mustache. How will you live with your husband? He is in the dark and does not figure out who he is with - with a woman or a man. Fall out of love. Or maybe, angry, and bite off his head. I know these Gorynyches." - "Can you take out the mustache?" - "I can". - "Get out."
And just then three heads of Gorynych poked their head through the windows and stared at Ivan. “This is my nephew,” Baba Yaga explained. - Guest. Gorynych looked at Ivan so carefully and for so long that he could not stand it, got nervous: “Well? I'm a nephew, a nephew.
You were told. Or what - will you eat guests? BUT?!" Gorynych's heads were surprised.
“I think he is rude,” said one. The second, thinking, added: "Fool, but nervous." The third spoke quite briefly: "Langet." - “I'll show you such a langet! Ivan exploded with fear. - I'll arrange this in a moment! Tired of wearing heads?! - "No, well, he's rude with might and main," the first head said almost crying. "Stop pulling," said the second head. “Yes, stop pulling,” Ivan agreed foolishly and sang: “Oh, I shaved you / On the mound / You gave me / Stockings-boots ...” It became quiet. “Do you know how to romance? Gorynych asked. - Come on, sleep. And then I'll bite my hand off. And you sing,” he ordered Baba Yages to his daughter. And Ivan sang about “Khasbulat the daring”, and then, although he resisted, he also had to dance in front of the Serpent. “Well, now you’ve grown wiser,” Gorynychi said. He threw Ivan out of the hut into the dark forest. Ivan is walking, and a bear is meeting him.
“I’m leaving,” he complained to Ivan, “out of shame and disgrace. The monastery, near which I always lived, the devils overlaid. They turn on music, they drink, they act outrageous, they pester the monks. You have to run away from here, otherwise they will teach you to drink, or I will ask for a circus. You, Ivan, do not need to go there. These are more terrible than the Serpent Gorynych. “Do they know about the Wise Man?” Ivan asked.
"They know everything." - "Then it will be necessary," Ivan sighed and went to the monastery. And there, devils walk around the walls of the monastery - some tap dance with a hoof, some flip through a magazine with pictures, some drink cognac. And near the uncompromising monastic guard at the gate, three musicians and a girl are performing “Black Eyes”. Ivanchertey immediately began to take it by the throat: “I am such a prince that shreds will fly from you.
I’ll smash it over the bumps!” The devils were amazed. One climbed on Ivan, but his own dragged him aside. And someone graceful in glasses appeared in front of Ivan: “What's the matter, my friend? What's up?" “I need a certificate,” Ivan answered. “We will help, but you can help us too.” They took Ivan aside and began to confer with him on how to get the monks out of the monastery. Ivan gave advice - to sing a song native to the guard. Shouted the devils in chorus "Through the wild steppes of Transbaikalia." The formidable guard became sad, approached the devils, sat down next to him, drank the offered glass, and the devils moved through the empty gates of the monastery. Then the devil ordered Ivan: “Dance Kamarinsky!” - “I went to the devil,” Ivan got angry. - After all, they agreed: I will help you, you - to me. - "Well, dance, or we will not lead to the Sage." Ivan had to go to the dance, and right away he found himself, along with the devil, at the little, white old man - the Wise Man.
But he doesn’t give a certificate just like that: “If you make Nesmeyan laugh, I’ll give a certificate.” Ivan went with the Wise Man to Nesmeyana. And she rages with boredom. Her friends lie among the ficuses with sub-quartz tanning lamps and are also bored. "Sing for them," ordered the Sage. Sang a ditty. “Oh…” the young people groaned. - Don't, Vanya.
Well, please ... "-" Vanya, dance! - the Sage ordered again. "Fuck the hell!" Ivan got angry. "What about help? the old man asked ominously. - Here, answer me a few questions, prove that you are smart. Then I'll issue a certificate." - "Can I ask?" Ivan said. “Let Ivan ask,” Nesmeyana capriciously. "Why do you have an extra rib?" Ivan asked the Wise Man.
“This is curious,” the young people became interested, surrounded the old man. - Come on, show the rib. And with a cackle they began to undress and feel the Sage. And Ivan pulled out a seal from the Sage's pocket and went home. I passed by the monastery - devils were in charge there with songs and dances. I met a bear, and he is already interested in working conditions in the circus and offers to drink together. And when he passed by the hut of Baba Yaga, he heard a voice: “Ivanushka, free me. Serpent Gorynych put me in the toilet under the castle as a punishment. "Do you want to be my lover?" “Let’s go,” Ivan decided. "Will you make a baby for me?" - asked the daughter of Baba Yaga. "Do you know how to deal with children?" - “I’m swaddling,” she boasted and tightly swaddled Ivan in the sheets. And just then Zmey Gorynych appeared: “What? Passions played out? Games started? I will haunt you!” And as soon as he prepared to swallow Ivan, the Don ataman, sent from the library to rescue Ivan, flew into the hut like a whirlwind. “Let's go to the clearing,” he said to Gorynych. “I’ll cut off all your heads at once.” The fight went on for a long time. Defeated the chieftain Serpent. “Fighter than you, Cossack, I haven’t met any men,” the daughter of Baba Yaga spoke affectionately, the chieftain smiled, his mustache began to twist, and Ivan pulled it up: it’s time for us to return. In Ivanai’s library, the chieftain was greeted joyfully: “Thank God, alive and well. Ivan, did you get a certificate? “I got the kiss seal,” Ivan replied. But no one knew what to do with her. “Why did they send a man to such a distance?” Ilya asked angrily. "And you, Vanka, sit down in your place - soon the roosters will crow." - “We shouldn’t sit, Ilya, don’t sit around!” - “Who are you back…” - “Which one? - Ivan did not let up. - This is what came - all around guilty. Sit here!..” - “So sit and think,” Ilya Muromets said calmly. And the third roosters sang, and here the fairy tale ends. There will be, perhaps, another night ... But it will be a different fairy tale.

Once in a library, in the evening, about six o'clock, the characters of Russian classical literature argued. Even when the librarian was in place, they looked at her with interest from their shelves - they were waiting. The librarian finally talked to someone on the phone ... She spoke strangely, the characters listened and did not understand. They were surprised.

No, - said the librarian, - I think it's millet. He's a goat ... Let's go trample better. BUT? No, well, he's a goat. We'll trample, right? Then we’ll go to Vladik ... I know that he is a ram, but he has a “Grundik” - we’ll sit ... A seal will also come, then this one will be ... an eagle owl ... Yes, I know that they are all goats, but you need to shoot time somehow ! Well, well... listen...

I don’t understand anything, - someone in a top hat said quietly - either Onegin, or Chatsky - to his neighbor, a heavy landowner, it seems, Oblomov. Oblomov smiled:

They are going to the zoo.

Why are all goats?

Well ... apparently, irony. Pretty. BUT?

The gentleman in the top hat grimaced.

Vulgarite.

Give you all the French women, ”Oblomov said with disapproval. - And I look. Legs are a good idea. BUT?

Very much ... that ... - the gentleman of a bruised appearance, clearly a Chekhovian character, interjected into the conversation. - It's very short. Why so?

Oblomov laughed softly.

What are you looking at there? Take it, don't look.

What do I really mean? - Chekhov's character was embarrassed. - Please. Why only start with feet?

What? - Oblomov did not understand.

To be reborn.

Where are they reborn from? - asked satisfied Oblomov. - From the feet, brother, and begin.

You do not change, - with hidden contempt, the Prisoner remarked.

Oblomov laughed softly again,

Volume! Volume! Listen! the librarian shouted into the phone. - Listen! He's a goat! Who has a car? Him? No seriously? - The librarian was silent for a long time - she listened, - And what sciences? she asked quietly. - Yes? Then I myself am a goat ...

The librarian was very upset ... She hung up, sat just like that, then got up and left. And locked up the library.

Here the characters jumped off their shelves, moved their chairs...

At the pace, at the pace! - shouted someone of a clerical appearance, bald. - Let's continue. Who else wants to say about Ivan the Fool? Please do not repeat. And - in short. Today we have to make a decision. Who?

Excuse me? asked Poor Liza.

Come on, Lisa, - said Bald.

I myself am also from the peasantry, - began Poor Liza, - you all know how poor I am ...

We know, we know! - everyone murmured. - Let's be short!

I'm ashamed," continued Poor Liza ardently, "that Ivan the Fool is with us. How can?! How long will he dishonor our ranks?

Expel! - shouted from the place.

Quiet! - Bald office worker said sternly. - What do you suggest, Lisa?

Let him get a certificate that he is smart, ”said Liza.

Everyone here murmured in approval.

Correctly!

Let it get it! Or let him clean up!

What you, however, nimble, - said the huge Ilya Muromets. He sat on his shelf - he couldn't get up. - Broke up. Where will he get her? It's easy to say...

At the Sage. The bald man who was leading the meeting angrily slammed his palm on the table. - Ilya, I didn’t give you a word!

I didn't ask you. And I'm not going to ask. Close the slurp, otherwise I’ll make the ink drink at once. And snack on a blotter. Office rat.

Well, it begins! .. - Oblomov said displeasedly. - Ilya, you just have to bark. And what a bad proposal: let him get a certificate. I'm also embarrassed to sit next to a fool. He smells of footcloths ... Yes, and I don’t think anyone ...

Tsit! Ilya roared. - It's embarrassing for him. Do you want a club on the head? I'll get it!

Then someone, obviously superfluous, remarked:

Civil strife.

BUT? Kontorsky did not understand.

Civil strife, - said Superfluous. - Let's get lost.

Who will be lost? - Ilya also did not see the danger that Superfluous spoke about. - Sit here, hussar! And then I'll get it once too ...

I want satisfaction! - jumped up Superfluous.

Yes, sit down! Kontorsky said. - What satisfaction?

I demand satisfaction: this seat Karacharovsky offended me.

Sit down, - said Oblomov. - What to do with Ivan?

Everyone thought.

Ivan the Fool was sitting in a corner, making something out of the skirt of his coat, like an ear.

Think, think, he said. - There were smart people... Doctors.

Don't be rude, Ivan, said Kontorsky. - They think about him, you understand, and he is still sitting rude. How about help? Maybe go get it?

At the Wise Man… Something must be done. I am also leaning...

And I'm not inclined! - thumped again Ilya. - He bows. Well, bow as much as you like. Don't go, Vanka. They invented some nonsense - a certificate ... Who jumped out with a certificate? Lizka? What are you, girl?!

But nothing! exclaimed Poor Liza. - If you sit, then everyone should sit? Uncle Ilya, this sit-down agitation will not work for you! I join the leader's demand: something must be done. - And she once again said loudly and convincingly: - We must do something!

Everyone thought.

Ilya frowned.

Some kind of "sitting agitation," he grumbled. - Invents anything. What campaign?

Yes, this is the one! - Oblomov threw himself at him. - Sitting, you were told. "Ka-ka-ay." Shut up, please. We must, of course, do something, friends. You just need to understand: what to do?

And yet I demand satisfaction! - remembered his resentment Superfluous. - I challenge this bawler (to Ilya) to a duel.

Sit down! shouted Kontorsky at Superfluous. - Do business or engage in duels? Stop fooling around. And so much was squandered ... The thing must be done, and not run through the forests with pistols.

Here everyone was excited, noisy approvingly.

I would ban these duels altogether! shouted the pale Lensky.

Coward, Onegin told him.

Who is a coward?

And you are a loafer. Shuler. The libertine. Cynic.

Let's go to the Volga! - suddenly shouted some ghoul ataman. - Saryn on a kitchka!

Sit down! Kontorsky got angry. - And then I'll show you "saryn". I'll slide it behind the closet - you'll yell there. Once again I ask: what shall we do?

Come to me, Ataman, - Ilya called the Cossack. - I'll tell you something.

I warn you, - said Kontorsky, - if you start some kind of quarrel ... you can’t take your head off. Me too, you know, nuggets.

Nothing can be said! - bitterly indignant Ilya. - What the hell?! Some kind of dogs, a true god: whatever you say, it's not like that.

Just don't pretend, please, - Onegin said with contempt, turning to Ilya and the Cossack, - that you are the only one of the people. We are people too.

Soon they will. tear shirts on the chest, - said a certain small character like Gogol's Akaki Akakievich. - Sleeves will chew ...

Why should I chew my sleeves? - sincerely asked Cossack ataman. - I'll put you on one hand and slam the other.

Everything is civil strife, - Superfluous said sadly, - Now we won’t do anything at all. Plus, we're lost.

Go to the Volga! - Ataman called again. - Let's go for a walk.

Sit down, - Oblomov said angrily. - Reveler ... Everyone would walk, everyone would walk them! You have to do things, not go for walks.

A-ah-ah, - the Ataman suddenly ominously quietly drawled, - I've been looking for koho all my life. - That's who I'm going to bleed right now ...

Everyone jumped out of their seats...

Akaky Akakievich flew like a bird onto his shelf, Poor Liza sat down in horror and covered herself with a sundress ... Onegin convulsively loaded a dueling pistol from the barrel, and Ilya Muromets laughed and said:

Oh oh, did you run? Did you run, damn drapes?! We ran!

"Until the third roosters"

Summary

I am ashamed, said Poor Liza, that he is with us.

It’s also embarrassing for me to stand next to him, ”said Oblomov. - He stinks of footcloths.

Let him get a certificate that he is smart, ”Poor Liza suggested.

Where will he get it? - objected Ilya Muromets.

At the Sage. And let him have time to do this before the third roosters.

They argued for a long time, and finally Ilya Muromets said: “Go, Vanka. Necessary. You see, they are all... scientists. Go and remember, you won’t burn in fire, you won’t drown in water… I can’t vouch for the rest.” Ivan bowed to everyone with a bow: "Do not remember dashingly if I disappear." And went. He walked and walked, he sees - the light glows. There is a hut on chicken legs, and around it is heaped brick, slate, all kinds of lumber. Baba Yaga came out on the porch:

Who it?

Ivan is a fool. I go for help to the Sage.

Are you really a fool or just a simple-hearted one?

What are you, Baba Yaga, driving at?

Yes, when I saw you, I immediately thought: oh, and a talented guy! Are you good at building?

He chopped towers with his father. Why you asking?

I want to build a cottage. Will you take it?

I have no time. I'm going for help.

Ah," Baba Yaga drawled ominously, "now I understand who I'm dealing with. Simulator! Rogue! The last time I ask: will you build?
Into the oven! Baba Yaga screamed.

Four guards grabbed Ivan and pushed him into the furnace. And then the bells rang out in the yard. “My daughter is coming,” Baba Yaga was delighted. - With the groom, Serpent Gorynych. A daughter entered the hut, also terrible and also with a mustache. “Fufufu,” she said. “It smells of Russian spirit.” - "And I'm frying Ivan." The daughter looked into the oven, and from there - either crying, or laughter.

Oh, I can’t, Ivan groans.

I won't die from fire - from laughter.

What are you?

Yes, I laugh at your mustache. How will you live with your husband? He is in the dark and does not figure out who he is with - with a woman or a man. Fall out of love. Or maybe, angry, and bite off his head. I know these Gorynychs.

Can you take out the mustache?
Get out.

And just then three heads of Gorynych poked their head through the windows and stared at Ivan. “This is my nephew,” Baba Yaga explained. - Guest. Gorynych looked at Ivan so carefully and for so long that he could not stand it, got nervous: “Well? I'm a nephew, a nephew. You were told. Or what - will you eat guests? BUT?!" Gorynych's heads were surprised. “I think he is rude,” said one. The second, thinking, added: "Fool, but nervous." The third spoke quite briefly: "Langet."

I'll show you such a langet! Ivan exploded with fear.

I'll arrange this right now! Tired of wearing heads?!

No, well, he’s rude with might and main, - the first head said almost crying.

Stop pulling, said the second head.

Yes, stop pulling, - Ivan agreed foolishly and sang:

Oh I shaved you
On the mound
You gave me
Stockings-boots…

It became quiet. “Do you know how to romance? Gorynych asked. - Come on, sleep. And then I'll bite my hand off. And you sing,” he ordered Baba Yaga with his daughter.

And Ivan sang about "Khasbulat the daring", and then, although he resisted, he also had to dance in front of the Serpent. “Well, now you have grown wiser,” Gorynych said and threw Ivan out of the hut into the dark forest. Ivan is walking, and a bear is meeting him.

I'm leaving, - he complained to Ivan, - from shame and disgrace. The monastery, near which I have always lived, the devils overlaid. They turn on music, they drink, they act outrageous, they pester the monks. You have to run away from here, otherwise they will teach you to drink, or I will ask for a circus. You, Ivan, do not need to go there. These are more terrible than the Serpent Gorynych.

Do they know about the Sage? Ivan asked.

They know about everything.

Then you have to, - Ivan sighed and went to the monastery.

And there, around the walls of the monastery, devils walk - someone tap dances with a hoof, someone leafs through a magazine with pictures, someone drinks cognac. And near the unyielding monastery guard at the gate, three musicians and a girl are performing "Dark Eyes". Ivan the devil immediately began to take it by the throat: “I am such a prince that shreds will fly from you. I’ll smash it over the bumps!” The devils were amazed. One climbed on Ivan, but his own dragged him aside. And someone graceful in glasses appeared in front of Ivan: “What's the matter, my friend? What do you need? “I need a certificate,” Ivan answered. "We'll help, but you can help us."

They took Ivan aside and began to consult with him on how to smoke out the monks from the monastery. Ivan gave advice - to sing a song native to the guard. The devils thundered in chorus "Through the wild steppes of Transbaikalia." The formidable guard became sad, approached the devils, sat down next to him, drank the offered cup, and the devils moved into the empty gates of the monastery. Then the devil ordered Ivan:

Dance Kamarinskaya!

Went to the devil, - Ivan got angry. - After all, they agreed: I will help you, you - me.

Well, dance, or we won't lead you to the Sage.

Ivan had to go to the dance, and right there he found himself, along with the devil, at the little, white old man - the Wise Man. But even he just doesn’t give a certificate: “If you make Nesmeyan laugh, I’ll give you a certificate.” Ivan went with the Wise Man to Nesmeyana. And she rages with boredom. Her friends lie among the ficuses under quartz tanning lamps and are also bored. "Sing for them," ordered the Sage. Ivan sang a ditty.

Oh-oh ... - the young people groaned. - Don't, Vanya. Oh please…

Vanya, dance! - the Sage ordered again.

Go to hell! Ivan got angry.

What about help? the old man asked ominously. - Here, answer me a few questions, prove that you are smart. Then I will issue a certificate.

May I ask? Ivan said.

Let, let Ivan ask, - Nesmeyana was capricious.

Why do you have an extra rib? Ivan asked the Wise Man.

This is curious, - the young people became interested, surrounded the old man. - Come on, show me a rib, - and with a cackle they began to undress and feel the Sage.

And Ivan pulled out a seal from the Sage's pocket and went home. I passed by the monastery - devils were in charge there with songs and dances. I met a bear, and he is already interested in working conditions in the circus and offers to drink together. And when he passed by the hut of Baba Yaga, he heard a voice:

Ivanushka, release me. Serpent Gorynych put me in the toilet under lock and key as a punishment.

Ivan freed the daughter of Baba Yaga, and she asks:

Do you want to be my lover?

Let's go, Ivan decided.

Will you make me a baby? - asked the daughter of Baba Yaga.

Are you able to deal with children?

I know how to swaddle, - she boasted and tightly swaddled Ivan in the sheets. And just then the Serpent Gorynych appeared:

What? Passions played out? Games started? I will haunt you!

And just as he prepared to swallow Ivan, the Don ataman, sent from the library to rescue Ivan, flew into the hut like a whirlwind. “Let's go to the clearing,” he said to Gorynych. “I’ll cut off all your heads at once.” The fight went on for a long time. Defeated the chieftain Serpent. “Fighter than you, Cossack, I haven’t met any men,” the daughter of Baba Yaga spoke affectionately, the chieftain smiled, his mustache began to twist, but Ivan pulled it up: it’s time for us to return.

Thank God, alive and well. Ivan, did you get a certificate?

I got the whole seal, - Ivan answered. But no one knew what to do with her.

Why was a man sent so far? Ilya asked angrily.

And you, Vanka, sit down in your place - soon the roosters will crow.

We shouldn't sit, Ilya, we shouldn't sit!

What are you back...

Which? - Ivan did not let up.

This is what came - all around guilty. Sit here!

So sit and think, - Ilya Muromets said calmly.

In passing, he released Yaga's daughter from the toilet, almost becoming her lover. For this, the Serpent Gorynych almost ate him, but the boy was saved by the Don ataman, who was sent to help him from his native library. At home, the couple who arrived were greeted sincerely, but only with the seal obtained by Ivan, no one knew what to do. Well done was going to be indignant, but Muromets did not give. And there the third roosters sang, so that everything that happened on other nights is a completely different fairy tale.

Once in a library in the evening, the characters of Russian literature about Ivan the Fool started talking and arguing.

“I am ashamed,” said Poor Liza, “that he is with us.
“It’s also embarrassing for me to stand next to him,” Oblomov said. - He stinks of footcloths.
“Let him get a certificate that he is smart,” suggested Poor Liza.

“Then it will be necessary,” Ivan sighed and went to the monastery.

And there, devils walk around the walls of the monastery - some tap dance with a hoof, some flip through a magazine with pictures, some drink cognac. And near the unyielding monastery guard at the gate, three musicians and a girl are performing “Dark Eyes”. Ivan the devil immediately began to take it by the throat: “I am such a prince that shreds will fly from you. I’ll smash it over the bumps!” The devils were amazed. One climbed on Ivan, but his own dragged him aside. And someone graceful in glasses appeared in front of Ivan: “What's the matter, my friend? What do you need? “I need a certificate,” Ivan answered. “We will help, but you help us too.”

They took Ivan aside and began to consult with him on how to smoke out the monks from the monastery. Ivan gave advice - to sing a song native to the guard. The devils thundered in chorus “Through the wild steppes of Transbaikalia”. The formidable guard became sad, approached the devils, sat down next to him, drank the offered glass, and the devils moved through the empty gates of the monastery. Then the devil ordered Ivan:

- Dance Kamarinskaya!
- Went to the devil, - Ivan got angry. - After all, they agreed: I will help you, you - to me.
“Come on, dance, or we won’t take you to the Sage.”

Ivan had to go to the dance, and right there he found himself, along with the devil, at the little, white old man - the Wise Man. But he doesn’t give a certificate just like that: “If you make Nesmeyan laugh, I’ll give a certificate.” Ivan went with the Wise Man to Nesmeyana. And she rages with boredom. Her friends lie among ficuses under quartz lamps for tanning and are also bored. “Sing for them,” ordered the Sage. Ivan sang a ditty.

“Oh…” the young people groaned. - Don't, Vanya. Oh please…
- Vanya, dance! the Sage ordered again.
- Go to hell! Ivan got angry.
- A reference? the old man asked ominously. - Here, answer me a few questions, prove that you are smart. Then I will issue a certificate.
– May I ask? Ivan said.
“Let, let Ivan ask,” Nesmeyana capriciously.
Why do you have an extra rib? Ivan asked the Wise Man.
- This is curious, - the young people became interested, surrounded the old man. “Come on, show me a rib,” and with a cackle they began to undress and feel the Sage.

- Ivanushka, release me. Serpent Gorynych put me in the toilet under lock and key as a punishment.

Ivan freed the daughter of Baba Yaga, and she asks:

- Do you want to be my lover?
“Let’s go,” Ivan decided.
“Will you make me a baby?” asked the daughter of Baba Yaga.
- Do you know how to deal with children?
“I know how to swaddle,” she boasted and swaddled Ivan tightly in the sheets. And just then the Serpent Gorynych appeared:
- What? Passions played out? Games started? I will haunt you!

And just as he prepared to swallow Ivan, the Don ataman, sent from the library to rescue Ivan, flew into the hut like a whirlwind. “Let's go to the clearing,” he said to Gorynych. “I’ll cut off all your heads at once.” The fight went on for a long time. Defeated the chieftain Serpent. “Be more combative than you, Cossack, I haven’t met any men,” the daughter of Baba Yaga spoke affectionately, the chieftain smiled, his mustache began to twist, but Ivan pulled him up: it’s time for us to return.

In the library, Ivan and the ataman were greeted joyfully:

- Thank God, alive and well. Ivan, did you get a certificate?
“I got the whole seal,” Ivan answered. But no one knew what to do with her.
- Why did they send a person to such a distance? Ilya asked angrily.
- And you, Vanka, sit down in your place - soon the roosters will crow.
- We should not sit, Ilya, do not sit!
What are you back...
- Which? Ivan didn't hesitate.
- This is what came - all around guilty. Sit here!
“So sit and think,” Ilya Muromets said calmly.

And the third roosters sang, and here the fairy tale ends. There will be, perhaps, another night ... But it will be a different fairy tale.

Option 2

One evening among the company of heroes of Russian literature, Ivan the Fool became the subject of controversy.

Poor Liza and Oblomov were embarrassed to be with him. The girl demanded that Ivan provide a certificate stating that he was, as it were, not a fool at all. She was supported. For a long time, Ilya Muromets convinced them all that this was an empty idea, but Vanka still had to go, having an order to return before the third roosters.

He reached the hut on chicken legs. And around it, as if construction is going on: bricks are lying around, lumber, slate. Baba Yaga stepped out onto the porch. I had to tell her that he was going to the Sage for an important piece of paper. The old woman wanted him to quickly build a cottage for her, and when Ivan refused, she sent it to the oven. It’s good that her daughter came to visit with her fiancé Gorynych, mustachioed and scary. Vanka began to make fun of her mustache from the oven, daughter and ask if he knows how to bring them out. Hearing that she could, she ordered to pull the fool out of the furnace.

Then the Serpent Gorynych looked into the hut with all three heads. Word for word, he was about to eat Ivan, but he sang out of fright. And then he danced. Therefore, no one began to eat it, but the Snake nevertheless threw the boy into the forest.

There he met a saddened bear, who advised him not to go towards the monastery, because around him the devils occupied the whole district, they behave obscenely and pester the monks. Vanka only about the Wise Man and asked if they knew him. When he heard that the devils knew about everything, he nevertheless moved towards the monastery.

Around the walls of the monasteries, the devils were doing all sorts of things: tap dancing, drinking cognac, and leafing through magazines with all sorts of pictures. Immediately, Ivan, frightened, began to take the unclean, menacingly promising to smash them to shreds. Surprised the devils incredibly. One asked him what he needed. Having learned that a certificate is needed, he offered to help each other. Vanka helped them drive the monks away, in response they delivered him to the Sage.

He does not give a certificate, he demands to make Nesmeyan laugh. And she sunbathes with company, rages out of boredom. By cunning then Ivan took the seal from the wise man and left.

In passing, he released Yaga's daughter from the toilet, almost becoming her lover. For this, the Serpent Gorynych almost ate him, but the boy was saved by the Don ataman, who was sent to help him from his native library. At home, the couple who arrived were greeted sincerely, but only with the seal obtained by Ivan, no one knew what to do. Well done was going to be indignant, but Muromets did not give. And there the third roosters crowed, so everything that happened on other nights is a completely different fairy tale.

Summary Until the third roosters Shukshin
Once in a library in the evening, the characters of Russian literature about Ivan the Fool started talking and arguing. “I am ashamed,” said Poor Liza, “that he is with us.” “It’s also embarrassing for me to stand next to him,” Oblomov said. “He stinks of footcloths.” “Let him get a certificate that he is smart,” suggested Poor Liza. "Where will he get it?" - objected Ilya Muromets. "At the Sage. And let him have time to do it before the third roosters. They argued for a long time, and finally Ilya Muromets said: “Go, Vanka. Necessary. You see, they are all…scientists. Go and remember, you won’t burn in fire, you won’t drown in water… I can’t vouch for the rest.” Ivan bowed to everyone with a bow: "Do not remember dashingly if I disappear." And went. Walked, walked, sees - the light glows. There is a hut on chicken legs, and around it is heaped brick, slate, all kinds of lumber. Baba Yaga came out onto the porch: “Who is this?” "Ivan is a fool. I'm going to the Sage for help." - "Are you really a fool or just a simple-hearted one?" - “What are you, Baba Yaga, driving at?” - “Yes, when I saw you, I immediately thought: oh, and a talented guy! Can you build?" - “He chopped the tower with his father. Why you asking?" “I want to build a cottage. Will you take it?" - "I have no time. I'm going for help." “Ah,” said Baba Yaga ominously, “now I understand who I am dealing with. Simulator! Rogue! The last time I ask: will you build? - "Not". - "In the oven it!" Baba Yaga screamed. Four guards grabbed Ivan and pushed him into the furnace. And then the bells rang out in the yard. “My daughter is coming,” Baba Yaga was delighted. - With the groom, Serpent Gorynych. A daughter entered the hut, also terrible and also with a mustache. “Fufufu,” she said. “It smells of Russian spirit.” - "And I'm frying Ivan." The daughter looked into the oven, and from there - either crying, or laughter. “Oh, I can’t,” Ivan groans. “I won’t die from fire, from laughter.” - "What are you?" - “Yes, I laugh at your mustache. How will you live with your husband? He is in the dark and does not figure out who he is with - with a woman or a man. Fall out of love. Or maybe, angry, and bite off his head. I know these Gorynychs.” - "Can you take out the mustache?" - "I can". - "Get out." And just then three heads of Gorynych poked their head through the windows and stared at Ivan. “This is my nephew,” Baba Yaga explained. - Guest. Gorynych looked at Ivan so carefully and for so long that he could not stand it, got nervous: “Well? I'm a nephew, a nephew. You were told. Or what - will you eat guests? BUT?!" Gorynych's heads were surprised. “I think he is rude,” said one. The second, thinking, added: "Fool, but nervous." The third spoke quite briefly: "Langet." - “I’ll show you such a langet! Ivan exploded with fear. - I'll arrange this in a moment! Tired of wearing heads?! - "No, well, he's rude with might and main," the first head said almost crying. "Stop pulling," said the second head. “Yes, stop pulling,” Ivan agreed foolishly and sang: “Oh, I shaved you / On the mound / You gave me / Stockings-boots ...” It became quiet. “Do you know how to romance? Gorynych asked. - Come on, sleep. And then I'll bite my hand off. And you sing,” he ordered Baba Yaga with his daughter.

And Ivan sang about "Khasbulat the daring", and then, although he resisted, he also had to dance in front of the Serpent. “Well, now you have grown wiser,” said Gorynych and threw Ivan out of the hut into the dark forest. Ivan is walking, and a bear is meeting him. “I’m leaving,” he complained to Ivan, “out of shame and disgrace. The monastery, near which I have always lived, the devils overlaid. They turn on music, they drink, they act outrageous, they pester the monks. You have to run away from here, otherwise they will teach you to drink, or I will ask for a circus. You, Ivan, do not need to go there. These are more terrible than the Serpent Gorynych. “Do they know about the Wise Man?” Ivan asked. "They know everything." - "Then you have to," Ivan sighed and went to the monastery. And there, devils walk around the walls of the monastery - some tap dance with a hoof, some leaf through a magazine with pictures, some drink cognac. And near the unyielding monastery guard at the gate, three musicians and a girl are performing "Dark Eyes". Ivan the devil immediately began to take it by the throat: “I am such a prince that shreds will fly from you. I’ll smash it over the bumps!” The devils were amazed.

Ivan didn't hesitate. - This is what came - all around guilty. Sit here!..” “Sit down and think,” said Ilya Muromets calmly. And the third roosters sang, and here the fairy tale ends. There will be, perhaps, another night ... But it will be a different fairy tale.

Summary Until the third roosters V. M. Shukshin

The story "Heart of a Dog" was written by Bulgakov in 1925, but due to censorship it was not published during the life of the writer. Although, it was known in the literary circles of that time. For the first time, Bulgakov reads "Heart of a Dog" at Nikitsky Subbotniks in the same 1925. The reading took 2 evenings, and immediately the work received admiring reviews from those present.

They noted the courage of the author, the artistry and humor of the story. An agreement has already been concluded with the Moscow Art Theater on staging "Heart of a Dog" on stage. However, after an assessment of the story by an OGPU agent who secretly attended the meetings, it was banned from publication. The general public was able to read Heart of a Dog only in 1968. The story was first published in London and only in 1987 became available to residents of the USSR.

Historical background for writing the story

Why was Heart of a Dog so severely criticized by the censors? The story describes the time immediately after the 1917 revolution. It's drastic satirical work, ridiculing the class of "new people" that appeared after the overthrow of tsarism. Bad manners, rudeness, narrow-mindedness of the ruling class, the proletariat, became the object of denunciation and ridicule of the writer.

Bulgakov, like many enlightened people of that time, believed that creating a person by force was a road to nowhere.

Helps to better understand "Heart of a Dog" summary by chapters. Conventionally, the story can be divided into two parts: the first tells about the dog Sharik, and the second about Sharikov, a man created from a dog.

Chapter 1

The Moscow life of the stray dog Sharik is described. Let's give a brief summary. “Heart of a Dog” begins with the dog talking about how near the dining room they scalded his side with boiling water: the cook poured out hot water and got on the dog (the name of the reader has not yet been reported).

The animal reflects on its fate and says that although it experiences unbearable pain, its spirit is not broken.

Desperate, the dog decided to stay to die in the gateway, he cries. And then he sees the "master", the dog paid special attention to the stranger's eyes. And then, only in appearance, he gives a very accurate portrait of this person: confident, “he will not kick with his foot, but he himself is not afraid of anyone,” a man of mental labor. In addition, the stranger smells like a hospital and a cigar.

The dog smelled the sausage in the man's pocket and "creeped" after him. Oddly enough, the dog gets a treat and takes on a name: Sharik. That is how the stranger began to address him. The dog follows his new comrade, who beckons him. Finally, they reach Philip Philipovich's house (we learn the stranger's name from the mouth of the porter). Sharik's new acquaintance is very courteous to the gatekeeper. The dog and Philipp Philippovich enter the mezzanine.

Chapter 2

In the second and third chapters, the action of the first part of the story “Heart of a Dog” develops.

The second chapter begins with Sharik's memories of his childhood, how he learned to read and distinguish colors from the names of shops. I recall his first unsuccessful experience, when instead of meat, having confused, the then young dog tasted insulated wire.

The dog and his new acquaintance enter the apartment: Sharik immediately notices the wealth of Philip Philipovich's house. They are met by a young lady who helps the master take off his outer clothing. Then Philip Philipovich notices Sharik's wound and urgently asks the girl Zina to prepare the operating room. The ball is against treatment, he dodges, tries to escape, commits a pogrom in the apartment. Zina and Philip Philipovich cannot cope, then another “male personality” comes to their aid. With the help of a "nauseous liquid" the dog is pacified - he thinks he has died.

After some time Sharik comes to his senses. His sore side was processed and bandaged. The dog hears a conversation between two doctors, where Philipp Philippovich knows that it is only possible to change a living creature with affection, but in no case with terror, he focuses on the fact that this applies to animals and people ("red" and "white") .

Philip Filippovich orders Zina to feed the dog Krakow sausage, and he goes to receive visitors, from whose conversations it becomes clear that Philip Philipovich is a professor of medicine. He treats the delicate problems of wealthy people who are afraid of publicity.

Sharik dozed off. He woke up only when four young people entered the apartment, all modestly dressed. It can be seen that the professor is not happy with them. It turns out that young people are the new house management: Shvonder (chairman), Vyazemskaya, Pestrukhin and Sharovkin. They came to notify Philipp Philippovich of a possible "consolidation" of his seven-room apartment. The professor makes a phone call to Peter Alexandrovich. From the conversation it follows that this is his very influential patient. Preobrazhensky says that in view of the possible reduction in rooms, he will have nowhere to operate. Pyotr Alexandrovich talks with Shvonder, after which the company of young people, disgraced, leaves.

Chapter 3

Let's continue with the summary. "Heart of a Dog" - Chapter 3. Everything begins with a rich dinner served to Philip Philipovich and Dr. Bormental, his assistant. Something from the table also falls to Sharik.

During the afternoon rest, “mournful singing” is heard - a meeting of Bolshevik tenants has begun. Preobrazhensky says that, most likely, the new government will lead this beautiful house to desolation: theft is already evident. The missing galoshes of Preobrazhensky are worn by Shvonder. During a conversation with Bormental, the professor utters one of the key phrases that reveal to the reader, the story "The Heart of a Dog", about which the work is: "Devastation is not in the closets, but in the heads." Further, Philipp Philippovich reflects on how the uneducated proletariat can accomplish the great things for which it positions itself. He says that nothing will change for the better as long as there is such a dominant class in society, engaged only in choral singing.

Sharik has been living in Preobrazhensky's apartment for a week already: he eats plenty, the owner pampers him, feeding him during dinners, he is forgiven for pranks (a torn owl in the professor's office).

Sharik's favorite place in the house is the kitchen, Darya Petrovna's realm, the cooks. The dog considers Preobrazhensky a deity. The only thing that is unpleasant for him to watch is how Philipp Philippovich delves into human brains in the evenings.

On that ill-fated day, Sharik was not himself. It happened on a Tuesday, when the professor usually doesn't have an appointment. Philip Philipovich receives a strange phone call, and the house begins to fuss. The professor behaves unnaturally, he is clearly nervous. Gives instructions to close the door, not to let anyone in. Ball is locked in the bathroom - there he is tormented by bad premonitions.

A few hours later, the dog is brought into a very bright room, where he recognizes in the face of the "priest" Philip Philipovich. The dog draws attention to the eyes of Bormental and Zina: false, filled with something bad. Anesthesia is applied to Sharik and placed on the operating table.

Chapter 4 Operation

In the fourth chapter, M. Bulgakov puts the culmination of the first part. "Heart of a Dog" here passes the first of its two semantic peaks - Sharik's operation.

The dog lies on the operating table, Dr. Bormental cuts off his belly hair, and the professor at this time gives recommendations that all manipulations with internal organs should pass instantly. Preobrazhensky sincerely feels sorry for the animal, but, according to the professor, he has no chance of surviving.

After the head and belly of the "unfortunate dog" are shaved, the operation begins: having cut open the belly, they change Sharik's seminal glands to "some other ones." After the dog almost dies, but the weak life in it still flickers. Philip Philipovich, having penetrated into the depths of the brain, changed the "white ball". Surprisingly, the dog showed a thready pulse. Tired Preobrazhensky does not believe that Sharik will survive.

Chapter 5

The summary of the story "Heart of a Dog", the fifth chapter, is a prologue to the second part of the story. From the diary of Dr. Bormenthal we learn that the operation took place on December 23 (Christmas Eve). Its essence is that the ovaries and pituitary gland of a 28-year-old man were transplanted to Sharik. The purpose of the operation: to trace the influence of the pituitary gland on the human body. Until December 28, periods of improvement alternate with critical moments.

The state stabilizes on December 29, “suddenly”. Hair loss is noted, then changes occur every day:

30.12 barking changes, limbs are extended, weight is gained.
31.12 syllables (“abyr”) are pronounced.
01.01 says "Abyrvalg".
02.01 stands on its hind legs, swears.
06.01 the tail falls off, says "beer".
07.01 takes on a strange look, becomes like a man. Rumors begin to spread throughout the city.
On January 8, it was stated that the replacement of the pituitary gland did not lead to rejuvenation, but to humanization. Sharik is a short man, rude, cursing, calling everyone "bourgeois". Preobrazhensky is out of his mind.
12.01 Bormental assumes that the replacement of the pituitary gland led to the revival of the brain, so Sharik whistles, speaks, swears and reads. The reader will also learn that the person whose pituitary gland was taken is Klim Chugunkin, an asocial element, convicted three times.
On 17.01 Sharik's complete humanization was noted.

Chapter 6

In the 6th chapter, the reader first gets acquainted in absentia with the person who turned out after Preobrazhensky's experiment - this is how Bulgakov introduces us into the story. "Heart of a Dog", a summary of which is presented in our article, in the sixth chapter experiences the development of the second part of the story.

It all starts with the rules that are written by doctors on paper. They say about the observance of good manners while in the house.

Finally, the created person appears before Philip Philipovich: he is “small in stature and unsympathetic in appearance”, dressed untidy, even comically. Their conversation turns into a fight. A person behaves arrogantly, speaks unflatteringly about the servants, refuses to observe the rules of decency, notes of Bolshevism slip through his conversation.

A man asks Philip Philipovich to register him in an apartment, chooses a name and patronymic for himself (takes from the calendar). From now on, he is Polygraph Polygraphovich Sharikov. It is obvious to Preobrazhensky that the new manager of the house has a great influence on this person.

Shvonder in the professor's office. Sharikov is registered in the apartment (the certificate is written by the professor under the dictation of the house committee). Shvonder considers himself a winner, he urges Sharikov to register with the military. The polygraph refuses.

Left alone with Bormental, Preobrazhensky admits that he was very tired of this situation. They are interrupted by a noise in the apartment. It turned out that a cat ran in, and Sharikov is still hunting for them. Closing himself with a hated creature in the bathroom, he causes a flood in the apartment by breaking the faucet. Because of this, the professor has to cancel the appointment of patients.

After the liquidation of the flood, Preobrazhensky learns that he still needs to pay for the broken glass by Sharikov. The impudence of the Polygraph reaches the limit: not only does he not apologize to the professor for the mess he has made, he also behaves impudently when he learns that Preobrazhensky paid money for the glass.

Chapter 7

Let's continue with the summary. "Heart of a Dog" in the 7th chapter tells about the attempts of Dr. Bormental and the professor to instill decent manners in Sharikov.

The chapter starts with lunch. Sharikov is taught to behave properly at the table, they refuse to drink. However, he still drinks a glass of vodka. Philip Filippovich comes to the conclusion that Klim Chugunkin is more and more clearly visible.

Sharikov is invited to attend an evening performance in the theater. He refuses under the pretext that this is "one counter-revolution". Sharikov chooses to go to the circus.

It's about reading. The polygraph confesses that he reads the correspondence between Engels and Kautsky given to him by Shvonder. Sharikov even tries to reflect on what he has read. He says that everything should be divided, including Preobrazhensky's apartment. To this, the professor asks to pay his penalty for the flood caused the day before. After all, 39 patients were denied.

Philipp Filippovich calls on Sharikov, instead of "giving advice on a cosmic scale and cosmic stupidity," to listen and heed what people with university education teach him.

After dinner, Ivan Arnoldovich and Sharikov leave for the circus, after making sure that there are no cats in the program.

Left alone, Preobrazhensky reflects on his experiment. He almost made up his mind to restore Sharikov's dog form by putting back the dog's pituitary gland.

Chapter 8

Six days after the flood incident, life went on as usual. However, after handing the documents to Sharikov, he demands that Preobrazhensky give him a room. The professor notes that this is "Shvonder's work." In contrast to the words of Sharikov, Philip Philipovich says that he will leave him without food. This pacified the Polygraph.

Late in the evening, after a skirmish with Sharikov, Preobrazhensky and Bormenthal talk for a long time in the office. We are talking about the last antics of the man they created: how he showed up at the house with two drunken friends, accused Zina of theft.

Ivan Arnoldovich proposes to do something terrible: to eliminate Sharikov. Preobrazhensky is strongly opposed. He may come out of such a story because of his fame, but Bormental will definitely be arrested.

Further, Preobrazhensky admits that in his view the experiment failed, and not because they succeeded " new person» - Sharikov. Yes, he agrees that in terms of theory, experiment has no equal, but there is no practical value. And they got a creature with a human heart "the lousiest of all."

The conversation is interrupted by Daria Petrovna, she brought Sharikov to the doctors. He molested Zina. Bormental tries to kill him, Philip Philipovich stops the attempt.

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 is the climax and denouement of the story. Let's continue with the summary. "Heart of a Dog" comes to an end - this is the final chapter.

Everyone is concerned about the loss of Sharikov. He left the house, taking the documents. On the third day, the Polygraph appears.

It turns out that, under the patronage of Shvonder, Sharikov received the position of head of the "food department for cleaning the city from stray animals." Bormental forces Polygraph to apologize to Zina and Darya Petrovna.

Two days later, Sharikov brings a woman home, declaring that she will live with him, and soon the wedding. After talking with Preobrazhensky, she leaves, saying that Polygraph is a scoundrel. He threatens to fire the woman (she works as a typist in his department), but Bormental threatens, and Sharikov refuses his plans.

A few days later, Preobrazhensky learns from his patient that Sharikov had filed a denunciation against him.

Upon returning home, the Polygraph is invited to the professor's treatment room. Preobrazhensky tells Sharikov to take his personal belongings and move out, Polygraph does not agree, he takes out a revolver. Bormental disarms Sharikov, strangles him and puts him on the couch. After locking the doors and cutting the lock, he returns to the operating room.

Chapter 10

Ten days have passed since the incident. The criminal police, accompanied by Shvonder, appear in Preobrazhensky's apartment. They intend to search and arrest the professor. The police believe that Sharikov was killed. Preobrazhensky says that there is no Sharikov, there is an operated dog named Sharik. Yes, he did, but that doesn't mean the dog was human.

A dog with a scar on his forehead appears before the eyes of visitors. He turns to the representative of the authorities, he loses consciousness. Visitors leave the apartment.

In the last scene, we see Sharik, who lies in the professor's office and reflects on how lucky he was to meet such a person as Philipp Philippovich.

The plot of the book "Heart of a Dog" briefly

The plot of the book "Heart of a Dog" by Bulgakov develops around F.F. Preobrazhensky and his experimental Sharik. Preobrazhensky is an outstanding surgeon and has achieved remarkable results in rejuvenation. Therefore, in order to develop scientific papers he decides on an unthinkable experiment - the transplantation of the testes and pituitary gland in a dog. For the experiment, he chooses a homeless dog Sharik. The results of the experiment shock even the professor himself, Sharik takes on a human appearance and even gains consciousness. True, his consciousness is like that of an organ donor - the drunkard Klim Chugunkin. The story acquires a wide resonance in the public and Sharik is even given a passport and registered in the professor's apartment. But Sharikov begins to be more and more rude to the professor, steals money and even writes a denunciation of Preobrazhensky. This infuriates the professor, and he tries to expel Sharikov. He takes out a revolver, but Bormental disarms him, and the professor performs a reverse operation and Sharikov again becomes a dog.

The book "Heart of a Dog" by Bulgakov had a rather thorny path to success. In view of the presence in the story of many allusions to the political leaders of the USSR known at that time, the story is refused to be published. Many editors-in-chief are in awe of it, but they are afraid to publish it, or they are forbidden to. During a search of Bulgakov's apartment, the story is generally confiscated and returned only three years later at Gorky's request. Many consider Bulgakov's book "Heart of a Dog" a political satire and find many similarities with the politicians of those years, as in another work by the author. Only five years after writing the story is published in samizdat. The first full-fledged publication of the book comes out already in 1987.
