Among the most popular stories for children of A. Gaidar is “The Chuck and Huck”, a summary of which we suggest reading. The trip of two brothers to the taiga, where their father lived and worked, was a real adventure for them. And for young readers - the opportunity to plunge into the interesting world of peers.
Letter
Chuk and Huck lived in Moscow with their mother, and their father was on an expedition in the taiga. For a year now he had not seen his family, and when winter came, he received permission to invite his wife and children to visit him and immediately sent a letter to them.
When the postman rang the doorbell, the boys had another fight. Chuck and Huck (the summary does not allow to tell about their leprosy) were afraid that mom came. She punished them for two hours in the rooms. Therefore, they immediately wiped away their tears and rushed to the door together.
The boys immediately realized that the letter was from the pope. Chuck and Huck decided that he would come home, and with joy fell on the sofa and kicked their feet on the wall. Due to screams and noise, the children did not hear how the mother came. She began to read the letter, and her face was saddened at first, and then lit up with a smile. Mom explained that dad cannot come home, but he calls them to his place. This is the beginning of the story "Chuck and Huck," a summary of which you are reading.
Lost Telegram
The preparations for the departure took a week and were almost completed. Mom went to the station for tickets, and her sons quarreled again. If they only knew what it would lead to! ..
Chuck was practical. He had a metal box and cardboard from under the shoes, in which various gizmos were stored. Huck was not stubborn like a brother, but he knew how to sing well. And at that moment when Chuk pulled out a box to take it with him, the bell rang. The postman brought a telegram, which the boy hid in his box. Entering the room, Chuck saw his brother fighting a makeshift lance with his cardboard. A fight ensued, and Huck threw the telegram box out the window. Chuck shouting "Telegram!" rushed into the street, Huck hurried after him. But they did not find the boxes. The brothers decided to tell about everything only if mom herself asks about a telegram. That was the day and its summary. Chuk and Huck - Gaidar A.P. uses this misconduct to create intrigue - remained silent. And my mother did not know that a postman was coming, and therefore the next evening the whole family went on a long journey.
Way to the taiga
First we went by train. Outside the window flickered either snow-covered fields, then a forest, or stations. There were passing trains. Huck went down the car at night and, lost his way, got into someone else's compartment. But Chuk got acquainted with the passengers and received a lot of interesting things as a gift.
Finally got off at a small station. But there was no sled for them. The upset mother agreed with the coachman that he would take them to the place for a hundred rubles. Having a snack in the buffet, we set off further, spending the night in a small hut. Only by the next evening they reached the station where dad lived.
Such was the journey made by Chuck and Huck (the summary contains only its main points).
No one is waiting
But next to the three houses there were no people, no traces. Mom was frightened, and the coachman escorted everyone to the watchman's hut and, adding that the latter should return in the evening (the stove was warm and the cabbage soup had not been taken out in the cold), he was about to return. He invited his mother to return with him, but she refused.
The watchman appeared in the evening. He explained that the party leader Seregin sent a telegram in which he asked his wife to postpone the visit for two weeks, since all the geologists had gone to the taiga for ten days . Mother strictly looked at the children, and they roared together, then told about the telegram. It remained to wait for the return of the expedition.
Left alone
For two days the watchman went to check the traps, and the mother was left with the children alone. So continues the story "Chuck and Huck." Arkady Gaidar describes how they ripped off a dead hare, went for water, drowned a stove. It was especially scary at night.
The fourth day arrived, and the watchman did not return. Huck was completely sad, and it seemed to his mother that he darkened. She left him at home, and she and Chuck went for water. On the way back, the sled overturned and had to return to the spring again. When we got to the hut, it was already dark. However, neither Huck nor his fur coat with a hat was in the room. Anxious mother grabbed the gun left by the guard and set off in search. Pulling the trigger, she heard shots. This watchman hastened to the hut. It turned out that the bored Huck decided to scare his mother and brother and, grabbing his clothes, hid in a large chest. He lay in it for so long that he fell asleep and did not hear what a stir rose.
And the watchman lingered because he went to the geologists. He brought the keys to my father’s room and a letter. The next morning, the family moved to a new hut.
The most beautiful New Year
Mom put things in order. The watchman brought a fluffy Christmas tree from the forest, and together they began to make toys. Finally, on the eve of the New Year, the party returned. Chuck and Huck, seeing the approaching dog team, rushed to the bearded man who was running ahead.
And in the evening everyone celebrated the New Year together. Thus ends the story, and with it the summary of the book "Chuck and Huck."
