Cipollino Adventure Tale. Tale of the Adventures of Cipollino read

CHAPTER FIRST,

In which Cipollone crushed the leg of Prince Lemon

Cipollino was the son of Cipollone. And he had seven brothers: Cipolletto, Cipollotto, Cipolloccia, Cipollucci and so on - the most suitable names for an honest onion family. They were good people, I must say frankly, but they were not lucky in life.

What can you do: where the bow, there are tears.

Cipollone, his wife, and sons lived in a wooden shack a little bigger than a vegetable garden box. If the rich happened to get into these places, they wrinkled their noses in displeasure, grumbled: “Fu, how it carries onions!” - and ordered the coachman to go faster.

Once the ruler of the country, Prince Lemon, was going to visit the poor outskirts. The courtiers were terribly worried that the onion smell would hit His Highness's nose.

“What will the prince say when he smells this smell of poverty?”

- You can spray the poor with perfume! suggested the Senior Chamberlain.

A dozen Lemon soldiers were immediately sent to the outskirts to perfume those who smell of onions. This time the soldiers left their sabers and cannons in the barracks and shouldered huge cans of sprayers. In the cans were: floral cologne, violet essence and even the best rose water.

The commander ordered Cipollone, his sons and all relatives to leave the houses. The soldiers lined them up in rows and sprayed them well with cologne from head to toe. From this fragrant rain, Cipollino, out of habit, had a severe runny nose. He began to sneeze loudly and did not hear how the lingering sound of a trumpet came from afar.

It was the ruler himself who arrived on the outskirts with a retinue of Limonov, Limonishek and Limonchikov. Prince Lemon was dressed in all yellow from head to toe, and a golden bell jangled on his yellow cap. The court Lemons had silver bells, and the Lemon soldiers had bronze bells. All these bells were ringing non-stop, so it was great music. The whole street ran to listen to her. The people decided that a traveling orchestra had come.

Cipollone and Cipollino were in the front row. They both got a lot of pushes and kicks from those who pushed from behind. Finally, poor old Cipollone could not stand it and shouted:

- Back! Set back!..

Prince Lemon was alert. What is this?

He approached Cipollona, majestically stepping over his short, crooked legs, and looked sternly at the old man:

- Why are you shouting "back"? My loyal subjects are so eager to see me that they're rushing forward, and you don't like that, do you?

“Your Highness,” the Senior Chamberlain whispered into the prince’s ear, “it seems to me that this man is a dangerous rebel. It needs to be taken under special supervision.

Immediately, one of the Limonchikov soldiers directed a spyglass at Chipollone, which was used to observe troublemakers. Every Limonchik had such a pipe.

Cipollone turned green with fear.

"Your Highness," he muttered, "they're going to push me in!"

“And they will do well,” Prince Lemon thundered. - Serves you right!

Here the Senior Chamberlain addressed the crowd with a speech.

“Our beloved subjects,” he said, “his highness thanks you for your expression of devotion and for the zealous kicks with which you regale each other. Push harder, push with might and main!

“But they will knock you off your feet, too,” Chipollino tried to object.

But now another Limonchik pointed a telescope at the boy, and Chipollino considered it best to hide in the crowd.

At first, the back rows pressed against the front rows not too much. But the Senior Chamberlain glared at the negligent ones so fiercely that in the end the crowd became agitated like water in a tub. Unable to withstand the pressure, the old Cipollone turned head over heels and accidentally stepped on the foot of Prince Lemon himself. His Highness, who had hefty calluses on his feet, immediately saw all the stars of heaven without the help of a court astronomer. Ten Lemon soldiers rushed from all sides to the unfortunate Cipollone and handcuffed him.

- Chipollino, Chipollino, son! - called, looking around in confusion, the poor old man, when he was taken away by the soldiers.

Chipollino at that moment was very far from the scene and did not suspect anything, but the onlookers scurrying around already knew everything and, as happens in such cases, they knew even more than what actually happened.

“It’s good that they caught him in time,” said idle talkers. - Just think, he wanted to stab his highness with a dagger!

- Nothing like that: the villain has a machine gun in his pocket!

- Machine gun? In the pocket? It can't be!

"Don't you hear the shooting?"

In fact, it was not shooting at all, but crackling festive fireworks, arranged in honor of Prince Lemon. But the crowd was so frightened that they shied away in all directions from the Limonchik soldiers.

Cipollino wanted to shout to all these people that in his father’s pocket there was not a machine gun, but only a small cigar butt, but, after thinking, he decided that you couldn’t outguess the talkers anyway, and prudently kept silent.

Poor Cipollino! It suddenly seemed to him that he began to see badly - this is because a huge tear welled up in his eyes.

"Get back, stupid!" - Chipollino shouted at her and clenched his teeth so as not to cry.

The tear was frightened, backed away, and no longer appeared.

In short, old Cipollone was sentenced to imprisonment not only for life, but for many, many years after his death, because there were cemeteries in the prisons of Prince Lemon.

Cipollino achieved a meeting with the old man and hugged him tightly:

“You are my poor father! They put you in jail like a criminal, along with thieves and bandits! ..

- What are you, what are you, son, - affectionately interrupted his father, - but in prison there are a lot of honest people!

- What are they sitting for? What wrong have they done?

“Nothing at all, son. That's what they were jailed for. Prince Lemon does not like decent people.

Cipollino thought about it.

“So going to jail is a great honor?” - he asked.

- It turns out that it is. Prisons are built for those who steal and kill, but Prince Lemon has the opposite: thieves and murderers are in his palace, and honest citizens are in prison.

The tear was frightened, backed away, and no longer appeared.
In short, old Cipollone was sentenced to prison

Cipollino, - but I don’t want to go to jail. be patient

“Aren’t you relying too much on yourself?” smiled the old man.
-- This is not easy!
- But you'll see. I'll get mine.
Just then a Limonilka from the guard appeared and announced that
the date is over.
"Cipollino," said the father in parting, "now you

"You'll understand when the time comes."
- Well, go, go, - Limonishka shouted, - enough

He kissed his father hard and ran away.
The next day he instructed his mother and seven brothers

Saying goodbye to his uncle, mother and brothers, Cipollino tied up

“Cipollino,” my father said in parting, “now you are already big and can think of yourself. Uncle Cipolla will take care of your mother and brothers, and you go wandering around the wide world, learn your wits.

- How can I study? I don't have any books, and I can't afford to buy them.

- It doesn't matter, life will teach. Just keep your eyes open - try to see through all sorts of rogues and swindlers, especially those who have power.

“You will understand when the time comes.

“Well, let’s go, let’s go,” Limonishka shouted, “enough chatting!” And you, ragamuffin, stay out of here if you don't want to go to jail yourself.

Chipollino would have answered Limonishka with a mocking song, but he thought that it was not worth going to jail until you had time to properly get down to business.

He kissed his father hard and ran away.

The next day, he entrusted his mother and seven brothers to the care of the kind uncle Cipolla, who was a little more fortunate in life than the rest of his relatives - he served somewhere as a porter.

Saying goodbye to his uncle, mother and brothers, Cipollino tied his things in a bundle and, putting it on a stick, set off. He went aimlessly and must have chosen the right path.

This fairy tale by the Italian writer was extremely popular in the USSR. It is one of the most requested children's books today.

Famous children's writer, storyteller and journalist Gianni Rodari was born in Italy (in the town of Omegna) in 1920. His full name – Giovanni Francesco Rodari.

The family of the baker Giuseppe Rodari had three boys: Gianni, Cesare and Mario. The father died early, and the children grew up in their mother's native village - Varesotto.
The future journalist and writer grew up as a sickly and weak boy. He was fond of music and reading. After graduating from seminary, at the age of 17 he began teaching in elementary grades. During World War II, Rodari was released from service due to poor health.
Initially, he was fond of the ideas of fascism, but after the imprisonment of his brother Cesare in a German concentration camp, as well as other circumstances, he revised his views and became a member of the Resistance Movement. In 1944 he joined the Italian Communist Party.

From 1948, Rodari worked as a journalist for the communist newspaper Unita and also wrote for children. His most famous work, The Adventures of Cipollino, was published in 1951. In the Russian translation by Zlata Potapova, edited by Samuil Marshak, the tale was published in 1953.
J. Rodari repeatedly came to the USSR.

"The Adventures of Cipollino" (1951)

The plot is brief

Cipollino is an onion boy. He lived in a large onion family: mother, father Cipollone and 7 brothers: Cipolletto, Cipollotto, Cipolloccia, Cipolluccia, etc. The family was poor, living in a house the size of a wooden seedling box on the very outskirts of the city.
Once this place decided to visit the ruler of the country - Prince Lemon.

The Lemon Court Soldiers urgently began spraying the outskirts with cologne and perfume to eliminate the smell of onions. During the stampede, old Cipollone accidentally crushed the ruler's crooked, thin leg with a callus. For this he was arrested and thrown into prison. When Cipollino got a meeting with his father, he learned that not criminals were sitting in the country's prison, but only decent and honest people. Father advised Cipollino to walk around the world and learn the mind. Cipollino entrusted his mother and his brothers to his uncle, tied his things in a bundle and hit the road.
In one of the villages, he met an old man, Pumpkin, who was sitting in a brick box - this was his house, for the construction of which he saved money all his life and collected 118 bricks. Cipollino began to ask the godfather Pumpkin about his life, but then the inhabitants began to hide in their homes - Signor Tomato got out of the carriage.

He announced to his godfather Pumpkin that he built his "palace" illegally on the land of the landowners Countess Cherry. Pumpkin objected, Chipollino defended him. And then Signor Tomato asked him why he was not working. The boy replied that he was studying - studying scammers. Signor Tomato became interested, and then Cipollino brought a mirror to Signor Tomato. He realized that the boy was mocking him, and became furious. He grabbed Cipollino by the hair and began to ruffle. Immediately, tears welled up from the bow, and he hurried away.
Master Vinogradinka offered Chipollino to work as an apprentice in his workshop. And people flocked to him from everywhere.

He met Professor Grusha, who played a pear violin; with the gardener Luk Porey, on whose mustache his wife dried clothes in sunny weather; with a family of centipedes.
Signor Tomato returned to the village with a dozen lemon soldiers and Mastino the watchdog. They forcefully pushed the poor old Pumpkin out of his house, in which they settled a watchdog. But Cipollino dissolved sleeping pills in water and gave the thirsty dog a drink. When he fell asleep, Cipollino took him to the park of Countess Cherries.
But now everyone was afraid of the revenge of Signor Tomato. The house was carefully loaded onto a cart, transported to the forest and left under the supervision of Bilberry's godfather.
And at that time two guests arrived at the estate of Countess Cherry - Baron Orange and Duke Mandarin. Baron Orange ate all the stocks of his peasants, then he ate all the trees of his gardens, then he began to sell his lands and buy food. When he had nothing left, he asked for a visit to one of the Countess Cherries.

Baron Orange had a huge belly and could not move independently. Therefore, servants had to be assigned to him with a wheelbarrow, on which his stomach was transported. The Duke of Mandarin also caused a lot of trouble. He was very greedy. So he acted out suicide scenes. Countess Cherry gave Signor Mandarin jewelry, silk shirts, etc., to distract him from bad thoughts. Because of these troubles, the Countess Cherries were in a terrible mood.
At this time, Signor Tomato was urgently reported about the disappearance of the Pumpkin house. Signor Tomato sent soldiers to put down the rebellion. Almost all the villagers were arrested. Cipollino and the girl Radish ran away from the soldiers.
The nephew of Countess Cherry, the boy Cherry, lived extremely lonely among luxury. One day he saw village children running down the road with satchels on their backs. He asked his aunts to send him to school. But he was a count! The aunts assigned him a teacher, Signor Petrushka. But the teacher turned out to be a terrible bore: he hung ads with prohibitions everywhere. Once, just on the day of the arrests, Cherry saw Cipollino and Radish behind the fence.

The children became friends. But Signor Tomato heard their cheerful laughter and forbade Cherry to be friends with the poor.

The boy Cherry was very upset and constantly cried. But they laughed at him. Only the maid Strawberry sincerely pitied Cherry. Soon Cherry developed a fever. He began to repeat the names of Chipollino and Radish. Everyone decided that the child was delusional, and doctors were invited. But they couldn't help Cherry. Then Strawberry invited the poor but truthful Dr. Chestnut. He said that Cherry had melancholy and needed to communicate with other children. For these words, Dr. Chestnut was expelled from the castle.
Cipollino was finally seized and thrown into the darkest and deepest cell that was found in the prison of Countess Cherry. But by chance he met the Mole, who was digging a new tunnel. Cipollino persuaded Mole to dig a new underground corridor leading towards the dungeon where his friends were. Mole agreed.
When Signor Tomato discovered that Cipollino's cell was empty, he was furious. He sank down on the bench in frustration, the cell door slammed shut in a gust of wind. The tomato was stuck. At this time, Cipollino and Mole got to the camera of friends. Familiar voices and sighs of Pumpkin's godfather were already heard. But then Master Vine lit a match, and the Mole hated the light. He abandoned Cipollino and his friends.
Cherry learned that Signor Tomato carries the keys to the dungeon in the pocket of his stocking. He slept in stockings. Cherry turned to Strawberry with a request to bake a delicious chocolate cake and give him sleeping pills. Tomato ate the cake with pleasure and snored. So Cherry and Strawberry released all the prisoners. In the morning, Tomato sent an urgent telegram to Prince Lemon that riots broke out in the castle of Countess Cherries.
Then there were many adventures, but the struggle with the rich rulers ended in the victory of the poor. Prince Lemon, seeing the Banner of Liberty, went to the once abandoned dunghill. Countess Cherries left immediately. Signor Peas also left the country. Beans stopped serving Baron Orange, pushing the wheelbarrow with his belly. And without Beans, the baron could not move. Therefore, Orange soon lost weight. As soon as he gained the ability to move, he tried to beg. But he was immediately shamed and advised to work as a loader at the station. Now he is slim. Duke Mandarin did not work, but joined Orange and began to live at his expense. Kind Orange could not refuse him. Signor Petrushka became the watchman of the castle. Kum Pumpkin got a job as a gardener in this castle. And his student was Signor Tomato - however, before that, Tomato had to serve in prison for several years. Master Vinogradinka was elected chairman of the village. The castle was handed over to the children. A school, a room for creativity, play rooms and other rooms for children were arranged in it.

Analysis of the fairy tale by G. Rodari "The Adventures of Cipollino"

A fairy tale at all times and among all peoples expressed the dream of the triumph of justice and the hope for a better future.
In the fabulous fruit, berry and vegetable country of G. Rodari, everything that grows right on the ground is the people: Cipollino, Leek, Pumpkin, Strawberry, Blueberry. But the gentleman Tomato has already risen above the earth and the people and oppresses him. Lawyer Pea clings to everything with his mustache, just to climb higher, turns out to be a traitor. Countess Cherry, Baron Orange, Duke Mandarin - all these fruits grow on trees, they ascended high, completely cut off from their native soil, what do they care about the troubles and sufferings of those who live below, on earth? The people lived in this country hard, because the ruler there was Prince Lemon. Can life be sweet with Lemon?
Chipollino is a cheerful and smart onion boy. All the characters in the fairy tale are vegetables or fruits: godfather Pumpkin, shoemaker Grapes, lawyer Peas, girl Radish, boy Cherry, music professor Pear, old Cipolla, etc. The author said that in this fabulous garden society, social antagonisms operate, as in life: modest “honest citizens” are oppressed by the evil and greedy Signor Tomato, the swaggering Prince Lemon with an army of Lemons and the proud Countess Cherries.
But Rodari was sure that society could be transformed in favor of ordinary people labor, and by the forces of the people themselves. Supervised the process of Cipollino.
When his father Cipolla and all the poor garden brethren were imprisoned by Signor Tomato on the orders of Prince Lemon, the resilient Cipollino set off to wander in order to “learn the mind” and “study the swindlers and rogues” well. He finds true friends (the clever girl Radish, the kind and smart boy Cherry) and with their help frees his father and other prisoners from prison. Then the entire vegetable village drives its tormentors and parasites Tomato, Lemon and Cherry into prison, and turns the castle of evil countesses into a cheerful Children's Palace, where garden kids, led by Cipollino, go to play and learn.
I would like to end the article with the words of Cipollino: “In this world it is quite possible to live in peace, there is enough space for everyone on Earth.”
