A. G. Aleksin was born back in 1924. His childhood passed in the suburbs. Now it is already part of Moscow - Serebryany Bor. Having become a writer, he writes novels and short 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.
Next, you will read a summary of the fairy tale “In the Land of Eternal Vacations” and find out how you like to do nothing a little to the lazy hero of the work.
Holidays with a Christmas tree and a prize
The hero of this extraordinary story is the boy Petya, who loved the holidays, especially the New Year, with gifts and prizes. This instructive story happened to him on a Christmas tree. Discarding the first half of the saying, he walked boldly. At the New Year's holiday, Pete managed to ride his bike the fastest, and Santa Claus fulfilled his cherished desire: "May the tree stay forever, may the holidays never end, and let me entertain everyone."
Petya was a little embarrassed only by the fact that his best friend Valerik would 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 tells how our hero liked to be alone all the time and have a rest, rest, rest.
First impressions
In the morning the alarm did not ring, and Petya did not go to school at the insistence of his parents: miracles began. And when he went outside, he was greeted by a policeman-messenger of Santa Claus, put in a trolley bus, which brought him to the Christmas tree. Only there it was not so. There was no cheerful noise of children, running around, laughter. Petya earned all the prizes and, laden with sweet New Year's gifts, went home.
Santa Claus warned him that they have an eternal vacation in the country (a brief summary will show) there is an order table in which the Snow Maiden takes orders for entertainment by phone. Petya was very happy and on the way back he chewed gingerbread cookies and marshmallows. And most importantly, now he will always win at all competitions, competing with himself, and will always be faster and, most importantly, smarter. He just grew up in his eyes.
In the yard and at home
The guys, in order to give him pleasure, were entrusted to defend the hockey gates and in shame they lost to the neighboring court. And the best friend, Valerik, said: “You wanted to stand on the goal, the guys entrusted you with them. Did you enjoy it?” And every one refused to eat Petya sweets, because they are intended only for him. And at home, my mother said that she was setting a special diet for him: for breakfast, he would eat mint gingerbread, for lunch - marshmallows, Tula gingerbread cookies and chocolate medals, and for dinner - honey gingerbread cookies.
Entertainment continues
A personal trolley bus came for Petya to take him somewhere and took him to a circus, for example, where he performed a small “miracle”. He helped the clown-strongman to portray that it is impossible to lift the lightest weights. But this seemed to him not enough. Petya wanted to show off to the guys from the yard how strong he was. On the phone, he begged the Snow Maiden to let them all go to the show.
And when he went on stage, to indignation and general scandal, he lifted weights that were heavy in appearance. Then he ran backstage and on the phone urged 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 vacations, a brief summary of this shows us, but you can’t mix lies into life and demand respect for yourself for it.
Loneliness
All the guys went to school, they came up with a new interesting circle, which Petya had no way to, they all discussed something and had fun. And Petya sadly went to the tree, where he already knew everything by heart, and nothing in him pleased him. He went to the movies every day and knew all the films by heart, but there was no one to discuss them with. He was completely bored and yearned for simple food that he had not eaten a long time ago. He wanted plain black bread and fried potatoes, and then everything was pastil and gingerbread. Petya requested permission from Santa Claus to go with the guys to the zoo, which was closed for 10 days, and the guys really had to get there. But why, they didn’t tell Pete. So in the country of eternal vacation, a brief summary of this tells Petya tormented by loneliness. He talked only with pensioners in the yard and now knew who was sick with what. He lived "very interesting."
Jogging to school
One morning, he decided to escape from the country of entertainment 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. Such a wise, fabulous story tells Aleksin. “In the country of eternal vacation”, the brief content of which carries a deep meaning, is a fairy tale raising children. Petya finally realized that only friendship helps the weak to become stronger, endows the spineless with will and courage, and makes a callous heart kinder.
