Puss in Boots (very short story)

A story about how Deniska went to a masquerade party. It was announced at school that a prize would be awarded for the best costume. But Deniska had nothing, her mother left and could not help. However, he and his friend Mishka took fishing boots, mother's hat and an old fox tail from a neighbor. The result is a costume - Puss in Boots. At the matinee Deniska received a prize - 2 books for the best costume. He gave one to Mishka because he was the funniest gnome.

Puss in Boots (the whole story)

And when we were walking home, Mishka said:

I'll be a gnome at the carnival. Yesterday they bought me a rain cape and a hood. I just cover my face with something, and the gnome is ready. Who will you dress up as?

It will be visible there.

And I forgot about this matter. Because at home my mother told me that she was going to a sanatorium for ten days and that I should behave well and watch my dad. And she left the next day, and my dad and I were completely exhausted. It was one thing, then another, and it was snowing outside, and all the time I was wondering when my mother would return. I crossed off the boxes on my calendar.

And suddenly Mishka suddenly comes running and shouts right from the doorway:

Are you going or not?

I'm asking:

The bear shouts:

How - where? To school! Today is a matinee, and everyone will be in costumes! Don't you see that I'm already a gnome?

Indeed, he was wearing a cape with a hood.

I said:

I don't have a suit! Our mother left.

And Mishka says:

Let's come up with something ourselves! Well, what's the weirdest thing you have at home? You put it on, and it will be a costume for the carnival.

I speak:

We have nothing. Here are just my dad's shoe covers for fishing.

Shoe covers are high rubber boots. If it’s raining or muddy, shoe covers are the first thing to do. There's no way you'll get your feet wet.

Mishka says:

Well, put it on, let's see what happens!

I fit right into my dad's boots. It turned out that the shoe covers almost reached my armpits. I tried to walk around in them. Nothing, quite inconvenient. But they shine great. Mishka really liked it. He says:

And what kind of hat?

I speak:

Maybe my mother's straw, which is from the sun?

Give it quickly!

I took out my hat and put it on. It turned out to be a little too big, it slides down to the nose, but still there are flowers on it.

Mishka looked and said:

A good suit. I just don't understand what it means?

I speak:

Maybe it means “fly agaric”?

Mishka laughed:

What are you talking about, the fly agaric has a red hat! Most likely, your costume means “old fisherman”!

I waved at Mishka: - Said the same! “Old fisherman”!.. Where is the beard?

Then Mishka became thoughtful, and I went out into the corridor, and our neighbor Vera Sergeevna was standing there. When she saw me, she clasped her hands and said:

Oh! A real puss in boots!

I immediately guessed what my costume meant! I am “Puss in Boots”! It's just a shame there's no tail! I'm asking:

Vera Sergeevna, do you have a tail?

And Vera Sergeevna says:

Do I really look like the devil?

No, not really, I say. - But that’s not the point. You said that this costume means “Puss in Boots,” but what kind of cat can be without a tail? Need some kind of tail! Vera Sergeevna, help, please?

Then Vera Sergeevna said:

One minute…

And she brought me a rather tattered red tail with black spots.

“Here,” he says, “this is the tail from an old boa.” I've been cleaning kerosene gas with it lately, but I think it will suit you just fine.

I said “thank you very much” and gave Mishka a tail.

When Mishka saw him, he said:

Quickly give me a needle and thread, I'll sew it on for you. This is a wonderful ponytail.

And Mishka began sewing my tail on from behind. He sewed quite deftly, but then suddenly he pricked me!

I shouted:

Be quiet, brave little tailor! Don't you feel like you're sewing right to the quick? After all, you're injecting!

I miscalculated this a little! - And again it stings!

Bear, you better plan, otherwise I’ll crack you!

I'm sewing for the first time in my life!

And again - what!..

I just shouted:

Don’t you understand that after you I will be completely disabled and will not be able to sit?

But then Mishka said:

Hooray! Ready! What a ponytail! Not every cat has one!

Then I took mascara and with a brush I drew a mustache for myself, three mustaches on each side - long, long, reaching to my ears!

And we went to school.

There were a lot of people there, and everyone was in suits. There were about fifty gnomes alone. And there were also a lot of white “snowflakes”. This is the kind of costume where there is a lot of white gauze around, and some girl sticks out in the middle.

And we all had a lot of fun and danced.

And I danced too, but I kept stumbling and almost falling because of my big boots, and, as luck would have it, my hat was constantly sliding down almost to my chin.

And then our counselor Lucy came on stage and said in a ringing voice:

We ask Puss in Boots to come out here to receive the first prize for best costume!

And I went on stage, and when I entered the last step, I tripped and almost fell. Everyone laughed loudly, and Lyusya shook my hand and gave me two books: “Uncle Styopa” and “Riddled Fairy Tales.” Then Boris Sergeevich started playing the tunes, and I left the stage. And when he got down, he stumbled again and almost fell, and again everyone laughed.

And when we were walking home, Mishka said:

Of course, there are many gnomes, but you are alone!

Yes,” I said, “but all the gnomes were so-so, and you were very funny, and you also need a book.” Take one from me.

Mishka said:

No need for that!

I asked:

Which one do you want?

- “Uncle Styopa.”

And I gave him “Uncle Styopa”.

And at home, I took off my huge shoe covers, and ran to the calendar, and crossed out today’s box. And then I crossed out tomorrow too.

I looked and there were three days left before my mother’s arrival!

I looked and there were three days left before my mother’s arrival!

The main characters of Victor Dragunsky's story “Puss in Boots” are two friends, Deniska and Mishka. They studied in the same class. At the end of the quarter, the teacher told the children that during the holidays there would be a costume party. She asked all the children to prepare costumes and promised that a prize would be given for the best costume.

Mishka immediately decided who he would be at the matinee. They recently bought him a cape with a hood, so his gnome costume was almost ready, all that was left was to add a beard.

And during the holidays Deniska completely forgot about the matinee and the suit, because his mother went to a holiday home and the boy missed her very much and counted the days until her arrival.

Therefore, when one day Mishka came to invite him to a matinee, already dressed in a gnome costume, Deniska told him that he did not have a costume. Friends began to look around the house for everything that could be used for a carnival costume.

First they found dad's fishing boots, then mom's sun hat. When Deniska put on his boots and hat, his friends began to think about what to call such a costume. But they couldn’t come up with anything sensible.

The situation was saved by a neighbor in the apartment. When she saw Deniska, she said that he was the spitting image of Puss in Boots. She also brought an old boa, which friends added to the costume as a tail.

When Deniska and Mishka came to the matinee in their costumes, they saw that there were a lot of gnomes among the children. There were also many girls dressed as snowflakes. As a result, Deniska, representing Puss in Boots, won the costume competition. He was given a prize - two books.

After presenting the prize, Deniska told Mishka that he had the best gnome costume, and Mishka also deserves a gift. And Deniska gave his friend one of the books.

This is the summary of the story.

The main idea of Dragunsky's story “Puss in Boots” is that you can always find a way out of any difficult situation. Deniska forgot that he had to prepare a carnival costume for the matinee, but with the help of a friend and roommate, he managed to dress up as Puss in Boots in a short time. His costume turned out to be so original that Deniska received an award for it.

Dragunsky's story "Puss in Boots" teaches you not to lose heart in difficult situations and always look for a solution to a problem. In a short time, two friends managed to prepare an original carnival costume, which turned out to be the best at the school party.

I liked the main characters in the story, Deniska and Mishka. Mishka persuaded his friend to prepare a costume from what was found in the house, and Deniska shared his prize with Mishka: he gave him one of the two books that he was given for the costume.

What proverbs fit Dragunsky’s story “Puss in Boots”?

Don't be hasty, be mindful.
The guy is resourceful: he puts on an ax and girds himself with an axe.
There is no price for a true friend.

PUSS IN BOOTS
