A. G. Aleksin was born in the distant 1924.His childhood was spent in the suburbs. Now it is already part of Moscow - Serebryanny Bor. Becoming a writer, he writes stories and stories for children. For his remarkable stories, Anatoly Georgievich was awarded the Order of Lenin, two Orders of the Red Banner of Labor, and other government awards.
Holidays with a Christmas tree and a prize
The hero of this extraordinary story is Petya, the boywho loved the holidays, especially the New Year, with gifts and prizes. This instructive story happened to him on the Christmas tree. Rejecting the first half of the saying, he walked boldly. At the New Year's holiday, Petya managed to ride the bike faster than anyone, and Santa Claus fulfilled his cherished wish: "May the tree remain forever, let the holidays never end and let everyone entertain."
Petya was only embarrassed by the fact that his bestfriend Valerik will not be able to participate in this. Meanwhile, Santa Claus solemnly announced: "You will be in the country of eternal vacation." The summary of the tale will tell you how our hero liked to be alone all the time and rest, rest, rest.
First impressions
In the morning the alarm clock did not ring, and Petya did not go to school.the insistence of the parents did not go: miracles began. And when he went out into the street, he was met by a policeman-messenger of Santa Claus, put him in a trolleybus, which brought him to the Christmas tree. Only there it was all wrong. There was no merry noise of children, running around, laughter. Petya earned all the prizes and, loaded with sweet New Year's gifts, went home.
In the courtyard and at home
Guys to give him pleasureentrusted to defend the hockey gates and with shame lost to the neighboring yard. And the best friend, Valerik, said: “You wanted to stand at the gate, the guys entrusted them to you. Got pleasure?” And every single one refused to eat Petya's sweets, as they are intended only for him. At home, my mother said that she was setting a special diet for him: for breakfast he would eat peppermint gingerbread, for lunch - marshmallow, Tula gingerbread and chocolate medals, and for dinner - honey gingerbread.
Entertainment continues
For Peter, to take somewhere, camepersonal trolley and took him to the circus, for example, where he performed a small "miracle". Helped a strongman clown to portray that it is impossible to lift the lightest weights. But this was not enough for him. Petya wanted to brag to the guys from the yard, how strong he is. On the phone, he begged the Snow Maiden to let them all go to the show.
And when I went on stage, then to indignation andgeneral scandal, lifted heavy-looking weights. Then he ran backstage and on the phone asked the Snow Maiden to make the weights really heavy. The guys from the yard admired him, only Valerik shook his head and asked what the trick was. Almost everything is possible in the country of eternal holidays, a brief summary of this shows us, but one should not add lies to life and demand respect for oneself.
Loneliness
All the guys went to school, they came up with a newAn interesting circle, in which there was no way for Petit, they all discussed something and had fun. But Peter sadly went to the Christmas tree, where he already knew everything by heart, and nothing in it pleased him. He went to the cinema every day and knew all the films by heart, but there was nobody to discuss them with. He was completely bored and pined for simple food that he hadn’t eaten long ago. He wanted simple black bread and fried potatoes, and here everything was pastila and gingerbread. Petya begged permission from Santa Claus to go with the children to the zoo, which was closed for 10 days, and the children really needed to go there. But why, they did not tell Petya. So in the country of eternal holidays, a brief summary of this tells, Petya was tortured by loneliness. He communicated only with pensioners in the yard and now knew who was sick with what. He lived "very interesting."
Running to school
One morning he decided to flee the countryentertainment to school. On this way he met many obstacles: the janitor was against, the policeman, finally, Santa Claus himself, because he would not have work. But Santa Claus took pity and let Petya go. Aleksin tells such a wise, fairytale story. “In the country of eternal holidays”, a brief content of which has a deep meaning, is a fairy tale raising children. Petya finally realized that only friendship helps the weak to become stronger, gives the uncharacteristic will and courage, and hard heart makes you kinder.
