Abstract of the story spring rain brewing. "Spring rain. What proverbs fit Pivovarova’s story “Spring Rain”


The main characters of Irina Pivovarova’s story “Spring Rain” from the series “Stories by Lucy Sinitsina” are a girl named Lyusya and her classmates. One spring day, when the sun was shining outside, Lucy didn’t want to sit at home and study homework.

She left the house and walked until dark in the yard. In the evening she homework she never sat down, taking advantage of the fact that her parents had gone to the theater, and the next morning she went to school with unlearned lessons. The weather was cloudy in the morning, and Lucy was in a corresponding mood.

At the very first lesson she was called to answer, and Lucy said that she was not ready. The teacher gave her a bad grade. Upset, Lucy sat at her desk and thought about how bad her life was.

At that moment, a note was passed to her from behind. In the note, an unknown well-wisher, who signed the name “Yalo-kvo-kyl,” urged Lyusya not to despair, promised to help correct the deuce and offered to be friends. The note also asked for secrecy

Lucy began to wonder who could have written this message? Unable to solve this riddle, she turned to her desk neighbor, who was also named Lyusya, having previously made her promise that the secret would be kept. But the neighbor could not help Lyusa.

When Lucy returned to class, she was stunned. On the blackboard it was written in chalk: “Yalo-kvo-kyl + Sinitsyna = love.” Not a word to anyone." Lucy realized that her desk neighbor couldn’t resist and told everyone about the mysterious note.

After lessons, all the guys quickly left. Besides Lucy, only Kolya Lykov remained in the class. The thought occurred to Lucy that it was he who wrote her the note. She asked Kolya about this, but the boy called her a talker and added that he no longer wanted to be friends with her. After that he also left.

Distressed Lucy remained sitting in the classroom. She sat until the cleaning lady came and sent her home. Lucy put on her coat and went outside. It was raining, and Kolya Lykov stood in the rain and waited for her. And at that moment the rain seemed wonderful to Lucy, the best spring rain in the world.

That's how it is summary story.

The main idea of ​​Pivovarova’s story “Spring Rain” is that true friendship is not afraid of any obstacles. Kolya Lykov decided to be friends with Lyusya and help her with her studies. But Lyusya failed to keep this a secret and Kolya was offended by her. However, he managed to overcome his resentment and waited for Lucy after class.

The story teaches you to keep other people's secrets and always do your homework.

In the story, I liked Kolya Lykov, who decided to help Lyusya with her studies and offered to be her friend.

What proverbs fit Pivovarova’s story “Spring Rain”?

What two people know, everyone knows.
You speak in secret, but it will come out all over the world.
A friend will teach, and a foe will teach you a lesson.

I didn't want to study lessons yesterday. It was so sunny outside! Such a warm yellow sun! Such branches were swaying outside the window! I wanted to reach out and touch every sticky green leaf. Oh, how your hands will smell! And your fingers will stick together - you won’t be able to separate them from each other... No, I didn’t want to learn my homework.

I went outside. The sky above me was fast. Clouds were hurrying along it somewhere, and sparrows were chirping terribly loudly in the trees, and a large fluffy cat, and it was so good that it was spring!

I walked in the yard until the evening, and in the evening mom and dad went to the theater, and I, without having done my homework, went to bed.

The morning was dark, so dark that I didn’t want to get up at all. It's always like this. If it's sunny, I jump up immediately. I get dressed quickly. And the coffee is delicious, and mom doesn’t grumble, and dad jokes. And when the morning is like today, I can barely get dressed, my mother urges me on and gets angry. And when I have breakfast, dad makes comments to me that I’m sitting crookedly at the table.

On the way to school, I remembered that I had not done a single lesson, and this made me feel even worse. Without looking at Lyuska, I sat down at my desk and took out my textbooks.

Vera Evstigneevna entered. The lesson has begun. They'll call me now.

- Sinitsyna, to the board!

I shuddered. Why should I go to the board?

“I didn’t learn it,” I said.

Vera Evstigneevna was surprised and gave me a bad grade.

Why do I have such a bad life in the world?! I'd rather take it and die. Then Vera Evstigneevna will regret that she gave me a bad mark. And mom and dad will cry and tell everyone:

“Oh, why did we go to the theater ourselves, and leave her all alone!”

Suddenly they pushed me in the back. I turned around. A note was thrust into my hands. I unfolded the long narrow paper ribbon and read:

Don't despair!!!

A deuce is nothing!!!

You will correct the deuce!

I will help you! Let's be friends with you! Only this is a secret! Not a word to anyone!!!

Yalo-kvo-kyl

It was as if something warm was poured into me immediately. I was so happy that I even laughed. Lyuska looked at me, then at the note and proudly turned away.

Did someone really write this to me? Or maybe this note is not for me? Maybe she is Lyuska? But on back side stood: LUSYA SINITSYNA.

What a wonderful note! I have never received such wonderful notes in my life! Well, of course, a deuce is nothing! What are you talking about! I can easily fix the two!

I re-read it twenty times:

“Let’s be friends with you...”

Well, of course! Of course, let's be friends! Let's be friends with you!! Please! I am very happy! I really love it when people want to be friends with me!

But who writes this? Some kind of YALO-KVO-KYL. Confused word. I wonder what it means? And why does this YALO-KVO-KYL want to be friends with me?.. Maybe I’m beautiful after all?

I looked at the desk. There was nothing beautiful.

He probably wanted to be friends with me because I’m good. So, am I bad, or what? Of course it's good! After all, with bad person no one wants to be friends!

To celebrate, I nudged Lyuska with my elbow:

- Lucy, but one person wants to be friends with me!

- Who? – Lyuska asked immediately.

- I don't know. The writing here is somehow unclear.

- Show me, I’ll figure it out.

- Honestly, won’t you tell anyone?

- Honestly!

Lyuska read the note and pursed her lips:

- Some fool wrote it! I couldn't say my real name.

- Or maybe he’s shy?

I looked around the whole class. Who could have written the note? Well, who?.. It would be nice if Kolya Lykov! He is the smartest in our class. Everyone wants to be his friend. But I have so many C’s! No, he probably won't.

Or maybe Yurka Seliverstov wrote this?.. No, he and I are already friends. He would send me a note out of the blue!

During recess I went out into the corridor. I stood by the window and began to wait. It would be nice if this YALO-KVO-KYL made friends with me right now!

Pavlik Ivanov came out of the class and immediately walked towards me.

So, that means Pavlik wrote this? Only this was not enough!

Pavlik ran up to me and said:

- Sinitsyna, give me ten kopecks.

I gave him ten kopecks so that he would get rid of it as soon as possible. Pavlik immediately ran to the buffet, and I stayed by the window. But no one else came.

Suddenly Burakov began walking past me. It seemed to me that he was looking at me strangely. He stopped nearby and began to look out the window. So, that means Burakov wrote the note?! Then I'd better leave right away. I can't stand this Burakov!

“The weather is terrible,” said Burakov.

I didn't have time to leave.

“Yes, the weather is bad,” I said.

“The weather couldn’t be worse,” said Burakov.

“Terrible weather,” I said.

Then Burakov took an apple out of his pocket and bit off half with a crunch.

“Burakov, let me take a bite,” I couldn’t resist.

“But it’s bitter,” said Burakov and walked down the corridor.

No, he didn't write the note. And thank God! You won’t find another greedy person like him in the whole world!

I looked after him contemptuously and went to class. I walked in and was stunned. On the board it was written in huge letters:

SECRET!!! YALO-KVO-KYL+SINITSYNA = LOVE!!! NOT A WORD TO ANYONE!

Lyuska was whispering with the girls in the corner. When I walked in, they all stared at me and started giggling.

I grabbed a rag and rushed to wipe the board. Then Pavlik Ivanov jumped up to me and whispered in my ear:

- I wrote you a note.

- You're lying, not you!

Then Pavlik laughed like a fool and yelled at the whole class:

- Oh, hilarious! Why be friends with you?! All covered in freckles, like a cuttlefish! Stupid tit!

And then before I had time to look back, Yurka Seliverstov jumped up to him and hit this idiot wet rag right on the head. Pavlik howled:

- Ah well! I'll tell everyone! I’ll tell everyone, everyone, everyone about her, how she receives notes! And I’ll tell everyone about you! It was you who sent her the note! - And he ran out of the class with a stupid cry: - Yalo-kvo-kyl! Yalo-quo-kyl!

The lessons are over. Nobody ever approached me. Everyone quickly collected their textbooks, and the classroom was empty. Kolya Lykov and I were left alone. Kolya still couldn’t tie his shoelace.

The door creaked. Yurka Seliverstov stuck his head into the classroom, looked at me, then at Kolya and, without saying anything, left.

But what if? What if Kolya wrote this after all? Is it really Kolya? What happiness if Kolya! My throat immediately went dry.

“Kol, please tell me,” I barely squeezed out, “it’s not you, by chance...

I didn’t finish because I suddenly saw Kolya’s ears and neck turn red.

- Oh you! - Kolya said without looking at me. - I thought you... And you...

- Kolya! – I screamed. - Well, I...

“You’re a chatterbox, that’s what,” said Kolya. -Your tongue is like a broom. And I don't want to be friends with you anymore. What else was missing!

Kolya finally managed to pull the lace, stood up and left the classroom. And I sat down in my place.

I'm not going anywhere. It's raining so badly outside the window. And my fate is so bad, so bad that it can’t get any worse! I'll sit here until nightfall. And I will sit at night. Alone in a dark classroom, alone in the whole dark school. That's what I need. Aunt Nyura came in with a bucket.

“Go home, honey,” said Aunt Nyura. - At home, my mother was tired of waiting.

“No one was waiting for me at home, Aunt Nyura,” I said and trudged out of the classroom.

My bad fate! Lyuska is no longer my friend. Vera Evstigneevna gave me a bad mark. Kolya Lykov... I didn’t even want to remember about Kolya Lykov.

I slowly put on my coat in the locker room and, barely dragging my feet, went out into the street... It was wonderful outside, the best spring rain in the world! Funny, wet passers-by were running down the street with their collars raised! And on the porch, right in the rain, stood Kolya Lykov.

“Let's go,” he said.

I didn't want to study lessons yesterday. It was so sunny outside! Such a warm yellow sun! Such branches were swaying outside the window!.. I wanted to stretch out my hand and touch every sticky green leaf. Oh, how your hands will smell! And your fingers will stick together - you won’t be able to separate them from each other... No, I didn’t want to learn my lessons. I went outside. The sky above me was fast. Clouds were hurrying along it somewhere, and sparrows were chirping terribly loudly in the trees, and a big fluffy cat was warming itself on a bench, and it was so good that it was spring! I walked in the yard until the evening, and in the evening mom and dad went to the theater, and I, without having done my homework, went to bed. The morning was dark, so dark that I didn’t want to get up at all. It's always like this. If it's sunny, I jump up immediately. I get dressed quickly.

Lyuska looked at me, then at the note and proudly turned away. Did someone really write this to me? Or maybe this note is not for me? Maybe she is Lyuska? But on the reverse side there was: LYUSE SINITSYNA. What a wonderful note! I have never received such wonderful notes in my life! Well, of course, a deuce is nothing! What are you talking about?! I'll just fix the two! I re-read it twenty times: “Let’s be friends with you...” Well, of course! Of course, let's be friends! Let's be friends with you!! Please! I am very happy! I really love it when people want to be friends with me! .. But who writes this? Some kind of YALO-KVO-KYL. Confused word. I wonder what it means? And why does this YALO-KVO-KYL want to be friends with me?.. Maybe I’m beautiful after all? I looked at the desk. There was nothing beautiful.

SPRING RAIN

I didn't want to study lessons yesterday. It was so sunny outside! Such a warm yellow sun! Such branches were swaying outside the window! I wanted to reach out and touch every sticky green leaf. Oh, how your hands will smell! And your fingers will stick together - you won’t be able to separate them from each other... No, I didn’t want to learn my lessons.

“Go home, honey,” said Aunt Nyura. - At home, my mother was tired of waiting.

“No one was waiting for me at home, Aunt Nyura,” I said and trudged out of the classroom.

My bad fate! Lyuska is no longer my friend. Vera Evstigneevna gave me a bad mark. Kolya Lykov... I didn’t even want to remember about Kolya Lykov.

I slowly put on my coat in the locker room and, barely dragging my feet, went outside... It was wonderful, the best spring rain in the world! Funny, wet passers-by were running down the street with their collars raised! And on the porch, right in the rain, stood Kolya Lykov.

“Let's go,” he said.
