Getting acquainted with the book - the first story

Wrote this story in the stories Vladislav Petrovich Krapivin. "Brother, who is seven" is read in one breath, so capture the adventures of a seven-year-old boy. The story was written in 1962-64, but it will be useful for modern children to read it, or at least to begin with a brief summary of the plot.

In the first story of the story, we get acquainted with a boy named Alka. He lived in a city that was older than a child for 3 years. So, the city was built 10 years ago. The first part of the book is called "Green mane" because Sasha (Alka) loved to play with bent birch. He sat on it and imagined that it was his horse. Strongly holding on to the green mane of leaves, the boy mentally moved to distant countries and in the imagination galloped there on his faithful horse.

But one day the worker said that soon a bridge would be built here, and the birch would stop and he would cut it down. Alka was very upset. After all, he believed that the tree is his friend-horse. Sasha began to help the worker look for another route to save his friend. An excellent friend Alka showed himself in other situations, this is the book "Brother, who is seven." Krapivin Vladislav Petrovich in the following chapters tells about this.

New friend

Alki Alexander had an older sister Marina. She is already 14 years old. The girl was pretty strict with her brother, she wanted to raise him a good person.

In the summer they went to the pioneer camp. Alka began to yearn for the house, according to his mother. He lay in bed and cried. Suddenly someone called to him. In the dark the boy did not see his face, but realized that it was almost his age. The guy asked about why he cries. So an interesting conversation ensued, during which Sasha learned from a new friend that he has a lot of birds in his cages, and in the spring he releases them. Comrade said that his name was Vasya. Seven-year-old calmed down, listening to these conversations, and fell asleep.

When he woke up, the bed next to him was empty. Sanya went to look for Vaska in the camp, but no one knew this, because, as it turned out later, everyone called him Lapa, since the name of the boy was Lapnikov. The author has told about this, and can not fail to mention the brief content. "Brother, who is seven" continues the episode, which shows the nobility of the child's soul.

When he heard that the camp director was scolding Lapa for breaking the window (although it was not him), threatening to drive Vasya out of the camp because of this, Alka took the blame. We learn about this from the second story of the story.

Adventures of friends

A brief outline of the book "Brother Seven" will introduce the following chapters. The third one is called "Short Happiness". From it we learn that Vaska offered Sanya for some time to escape from the camp to take a walk. They went into the farm, where Alke liked fashionable canvas trousers so much that he could not take his eyes off them. Friends asked money from Mishka, added their own, and the new thing was bought.

However, the seven-year-old was short-lived in light pants. When the guy is Galya's older brother, he began to roll it on a bicycle, his pant leg got in a chain, and his trousers were spoiled. It is interesting to read how friends tried to wash, iron out a new thing, but the iron, basking in the fire, fell on the bottom of the trousers and left a big stain. I had to cut off the bottom of the trousers, and they turned into shorts.

The fourth story

The next part of the story is called "Gift". About it, too, will give a brief summary. My brother, seven, went with my sister and her friend to another camp to agree on a joint fire. The road was not easy, they walked through the forest, near the swamp. Prudent Alka took a jar with water. But when on the way back Marina asked him to drink, he did not give, saying that it was swamp water. It turns out that Alka in the pond caught the fry and small frogs and carried this invaluable gift to a friend who was lying in the camp detention center at that time and was ill.

Vaska before that had fry and a frog, they were in a jar. But Marina took them, which Lapa lamented. That's how Alka pleased his friend. Although he himself very much wanted to drink, but endured to bring Vaska the necessary gift to him.

Further, more brief content will be presented for review.
