The most striking events in the story are the scarecrow. Scarecrow, or problems of child cruelty

This article presents summary by chapter of the story " Scarecrow» Vladimir Zheleznyakova.

Lenka, main character story, ran through the streets of the town in very excited feelings, mentally turning to her grandfather with one single request - to urgently leave this city.

Lenka’s grandfather’s name was Nikolai Nikolaevich Bessoltsev. He knew well the history of his old town, standing on the banks of the Oka. The Bessoltsev family was respected in the city. One of the Bessoltsevs was an artist, and the other a doctor. The doctor was shot by the Nazis for treating Soviet soldiers German medicines. Nikolai Nikolaevich loved the Bessoltsevs' house since childhood and decided to come to hometown after the death of his wife. Upon arrival, Nikolai Nikolaevich found a house with boarded up windows, a leaky roof, and a rotten porch. He immediately got to work. He was unsociable and not talkative. The townspeople treated the newly arrived Bessoltsev with respect, but they did not understand his way of life. He loved to walk around the city completely alone. And at night the lights were often on in his house. It was rumored that Nikolai Nikolaevich was a big fan of painting and that he used his last money to buy paintings. In fact, Nikolai Nikolaevich was looking at the paintings of his great-grandfather, the artist, which Nikolai Nikolaevich’s sister had once carefully hidden, covering them with burlap. Nikolai Nikolaevich dreamed that his son and his family would one day come to live in this house. One day, townspeople saw Nikolai Nikolaevich accompanied by a 12-year-old girl. He told everyone he met that this was his granddaughter Lena. In the fall, Lenka entered the 6th grade.

September Lena lived in an inspired state. She admired and marveled at the autumn city. But at the beginning of November something happened. Lenka ran into the house in an excited state. Grandfather, Nikolai Nikolaevich, at this time was removing specks of dust from the paintings and immediately admired them. He didn’t notice what condition Lenka was in. She shook everything out of her briefcase and began to pack her things into it. She immediately asked her grandfather for money to travel home to her parents. Nikolai Nikolaevich asked what happened. Lena said that it was Dimka Somov’s birthday and again asked for money for a ticket. Grandfather refused. Lena said that then she would steal the painting from him and sell it. She began to remove a nearby painting from the wall. For this, the grandfather slapped Lena in the face. Then Lena ran to the door. Nikolai Nikolaevich grabbed Lena’s hand. But she bit her grandfather and ran away. Nikolai Nikolaevich quickly got dressed and ran out after him.

At this time, Lena's classmates were gathering for Dima Somov's birthday. Sixth-grader Valka, who will later be given the nickname “Flayer”, Shaggy and Red, dressed up Shmakova and Popov. Then they noticed the bespectacled Vasiliev on one side and dressed in school uniform Mironov, nicknamed Iron Button. Judging by Vasiliev’s clothes and the package in his hands, he was not going to his birthday. When asked directly by the guys whether Vasiliev was going to Somov, Vasiliev honestly answered that he was not. Mironova inquired about true reasons such a decision. Vasiliev said that he was simply tired of Somov. Then the Iron Button asked Vasiliev: “ Do you know what you get for betraying your ideals?” The guys didn’t take long to figure out what was what. They surrounded him. Mironov " looked expressively at Shaggy"And Shaggy hit Vasiliev hard. He fell, knelt down and tried to find his glasses. Valka stepped on Vasiliev's glasses. But Vasiliev put on his broken glasses, called the guys savages and ran away. Later, the children met the class teacher, Margarita Ivanovna, who at that time had no time for the children. And a little later the guys came face to face with Lena Bessoltseva. The guys were truly delighted. They guessed that Lenka was getting ready to leave. They started yelling that the Scarecrow was leaving their city and that they had won. They surrounded Lena and began shouting the word “Scarecrow!” They circled her and continued to tease her. Nikolai Nikolaevich saw this scene appear. He stopped this madness with the words that six against one is not good. Everyone wanted to run away. But Mironova did not allow anyone to escape from the Patcher (this was Nikolai Nikolaevich’s nickname). She told Lena’s grandfather with contempt that they had nothing to be ashamed of, but he should be ashamed of his granddaughter. Nikolai Nikolaevich asked why. The Iron Button advised him to ask Lena herself. After this, a group of teenagers went to Dima Somov, and grandfather and Lena decided that she would leave the city tomorrow. At home, through the window, they heard sounds of fun from Somov’s house. Nikolai Nikolaevich could not drown out these sounds either by closing the window or playing the piano. Then Lena decided to tell her grandfather everything that happened to her.

Lena started her story from the very beginning, i.e. From september. Margarita Ivanovna, the class teacher, asked Ryzhiy to introduce Lena Bessoltseva to the children of the class. Lena really wanted to make friends with Red and therefore smiled all the time. The redhead, seeing Lena’s smile, had difficulty holding back his laughter. Entering the classroom, Red could no longer hold back his cackle. He introduced Lena so new“that the whole class also began to laugh. Lena had a smile, even if she sewed on the strings! The guys laughed at Lena and her grandfather, the Patcher. But Lena decided that they were just funny guys and also laughed along with everyone else. Lena was immediately dubbed Scarecrow. Only Dimka Somov stood up for Bessoltseva and stopped the general mockery of Lena. At that moment Margarita Ivanovna entered. She was getting married. On the occasion of her happiness, she treated the children to a box of chocolates. She also suggested that the guys go to Moscow during the holidays. The class was delighted. Margarita Ivanovna said that the children should ask their parents for money for the trip. But Dima Somov said that it would be better to earn money for the trip ourselves. Everyone was supportive. It was time to start the lesson. But Lena did not have her own place in the class. Of all the guys, Dima Somov was the friendliest to her. Therefore, Lena asked him if the seat next to him was free. Dima said it was busy. But he will try to solve this problem. He publicly told Shmakova that there were applicants for her place. Shmakova was indignant, but gave way to Lena and moved to Popov, harboring a grudge against both the new girl and Dima. Then the class began visiting kindergartens, state farms and factories to earn money for the trip. On one of these days, the guys were working in the garden, picking apples. It was a rainy day. Lena came wearing only shoes, which immediately got wet. Then Dima took off his rubber boots and gave them to Lena. One day they worked in a toy factory. Dima Somov received another salary for the whole class. The money was put into a common piggy bank. Dima gave the piggy bank itself to Lena for safekeeping. At that time she was wearing a Hare mask on her head. When Dima left the room, the guys put on animal masks and began circling around Lena, shouting that they would outwit the Hare and take the treasure chest. At the beginning, Lena accepted the game. But when they started pinching and pushing her, she got scared, fell and called Dima for help. He came. The game has stopped. Lena said that there are a lot of animals around. One day Lena and Dima were walking down the street together. Then Dima noticed Valka dragging a dog on a rope. Dima took the dog away and immediately released it. Valya began loudly calling Petya, his older brother, for help. He came running. Petya hit Dima. And later it turned out that the dog was recaptured by the brothers. Dima told Lena that Valya was catching dogs in order to sell them to the slaughterhouse for money. Then Lena called Dima a hero and offered friendship. I kissed him. Valya and Petya saw this scene.

The last day of school before the holidays has arrived. Money for the trip to Moscow was collected. Last lesson there should have been physics. But " physics is sick". The guys decided to skip class and go to the cinema. However, upon entering the classroom, the children found a note on the board from Margarita Ivanovna, informing them that instead of physics there would be a literature lesson. Moreover, Dima Somov finished off everyone with the statement that after lessons everyone should go work for free in kindergarten. They promised to help, but you have to keep your word. But no one supported him. They began to argue with him and look for excuses: some shouted that their parents forbade them to work, others that working for free was not fair, etc. Then Petya, Valka’s brother, appeared at the door and completely erased Margarita Ivanovna’s note. At the same time, he reminded Dimka that offending his brother was fraught with danger. Therefore, Dima’s desire to tell about Valka, that he is a flayer, immediately disappeared. The class decided that, in fact, someone unknown might have erased the writing on the board. This was the reason to quickly get ready for the cinema. The guys left. But not all. Shmakova and Popov remained in the class. Dima forgot his piggy bank. Shmakova and Popov began to dream of who could buy what with the money from the piggy bank. Hearing footsteps, they hid under the desk. Margarita Ivanovna entered. And a little later Dimka ran in to get the piggy bank. He did not know that Lena was running after him and turned out to be an involuntary witness to the conversation between Dima and class teacher. Dima didn’t know about those hiding under the desk either. Margarita Ivanovna demanded that Dima tell him why her note was erased from the board and where everything was. Dimka tried to get out, but Margarita called Dimka a coward. Then Dimka told everything. Lenka thought that Dima would tell the guys about everything. But Dima was silent. He didn't tell her the truth either. Meanwhile, Shmakova was up to something.

The next day everyone came to class with suitcases. Margarita Ivanovna was in a very beautiful dress and with a rose. But her face was sad and stern. She announced to everyone that the school principal had reprimanded her because the students in her class deliberately disrupted class. Due to this, the trip to Moscow is cancelled. Someone said out of anger that they had deliberately disrupted the lesson in order to annoy Margarita Ivanovna. The teacher was amazed. Dimka Somov tried to calm everyone down and even suggested going to the director and apologizing. And he shouted to Margarita Ivanovna that the guys were joking like that. But when everyone realized that the trip was finally cancelled, they asked what to do with the money they earned. Margarita Ivanovna went to the piggy bank and broke it. She said that now the kids can go to the cinema every day and left the class. They decided to split the money. Shmakova began counting and sorting into 36 piles. Dimka suggested not giving up the idea of going to Moscow, saving up more and going on a trip during the winter holidays. But no one supported him except Bessoltseva. And the Iron Button unexpectedly offered to find the traitor, because someone had passed the class to Margarita. Dimka was very scared. And Lena hoped that he would confess. But in vain. Mironova gave the traitor 3 minutes to confess himself before she called his name. Everyone was silent. 3 minutes have passed. Then the Iron Button began to measure everyone's pulse. Popov's pulse turned out to be elevated. She called him a traitor. Somov stood up for Popov. But the Iron Button interrupted him and demanded that Popov tell everything. Popov agreed to tell everything. And again Dimka was scared. Seeing how Dima’s face had changed, Lenka felt sorry for him and declared that she was the traitor. Shaggy hit her hard on the back twice. But Lenka still laughed. Iron Button suggested boycotting Scarecrow! Everyone agreed. Margarita Ivanovna heard about the boycott, coming up to the door and banging on the door. When Mironova opened the door, someone told Margarita Ivanovna that Moscow was calling her to the telephone. The class teacher immediately forgot what she wanted from the class and ran to the phone. Everyone shouted “Boycott Scarecrow!” And Lenka also shouted “Boycott!”, as if it didn’t concern her. And she laughed along with everyone. Valka pestered Dimka and demanded that he shout “Boycott Scarecrow!” Then Lenka once again felt sorry for Dima. And she loudly shouted “Boycott!” right into Valentin's ear. Valka immediately fell behind. When the buses moved to Moscow, the guys saw Margarita Ivanovna below. She waved her hand at them. Valya invited her to spit on her head. Others were outraged by this. Shaggy generally called Valya a scumbag. Finally everyone decided that Margarita Ivanovna was simply calling everyone down. The class immediately rushed to run to the buses. Only Dimka and Lena remained in the office. Dimka wanted to say something to Lena, but she unexpectedly laughed. Then Dima ran out of the class. Lena ran out after Dima. This was the last day she had fun.

Dima and Lena joined the class. In the general joy of the school, only the 6th grade stood dejected. As it turned out, the guys misinterpreted Margarita Ivanovna’s gesture. The whole school went to Moscow except primary classes and their 6th. Almost all classmates began to disperse. Only a group of leaders remained. They ominously surrounded Lena and Dima, clasped their hands and began to tease, trying to hit them painfully between insults. Unexpectedly, Vasiliev opened the circle and gave the boycotted the opportunity to escape. The chase began. Dima and Lena ran into the hairdresser. Aunt Klava, Red’s mother, worked there. Dima managed to ask her not to give away the location of him and Lena. Aunt Klava complied with the request. But while Dima and Lena were hiding, they found themselves unwitting witnesses to a conversation between Red and his mother. It turns out that Red has not seen his father for more than 3 years. In Moscow, Red wanted to see him. Mom told Red that his father was waiting for him. Red got very angry and rushed off with an even greater desire to take revenge on the Scarecrow for the ruined trip. When Lena and Dima came out of hiding, Somov asked Lenka when she managed to tell Margarita about everything. Lena admitted that she didn’t tell the class anything, she just wanted to protect Dima. Dima asked Lena not to tell the guys anything yet, because this story doesn’t look very plausible. Without her, he will tell the guys the truth. Lena agreed. At this point in the story, grandfather and Lena quarreled, because... Grandfather could not stand it and called Dimka a coward, a scoundrel and a traitor. And he even tried to protect his evil classmates. So it seemed to Lena. Then she fell silent and cut off her story. But she continued it the next day. She thought about Red. And for some reason she suddenly felt sorry for him. She decided that perhaps Red laughed to tears at himself and everyone else, not because he was having fun, but out of deep resentment? So Lena began to rethink what had happened.

Lena and Dima did not leave the hairdresser because Lenka unexpectedly decided to do her hair. Dimka waited for her for some time, and then decided to go home. On the way he met Valka. When asked where Bessoltsev was, Dima replied that he did not know. Realizing that Lenka was in danger, he doubted whether to go home, but the rumbling in his stomach helped Somov decide in favor of home. While Dimka was walking, he figured out how and what he would say to the guys so that they would leave Lenka behind. Therefore, he walked home with a completely light heart. While Dima was having lunch, the guys gathered near the hairdresser, wondering where the fugitives might be. Valka said that he saw Somov, but he said he didn’t know where the Scarecrow was. Popov appeared and told everyone that Dimka Somov’s father had bought a brand new car. The guys were jealous. Vasiliev came and they tried to beat him for letting the traitors out of the ring. Then the door of the hairdresser opened and everyone saw Lena with her hair done. Shmakova became even more angry with envy. Lena was surrounded. Valka took out a straw and peas. He began to shoot painfully at Lenka. She didn't cry. But she grabbed the sore spots out of inertia. The guys enjoyed their mockery. Suddenly Aunt Klava came out. The peas got into it. She angrily demanded to stop bullying Bessoltseva. But Red not only did not listen to his mother, but even tried to hit Lena. Aunt Klava grabbed his hand. At that moment, Valka and Shaggy grabbed Lenka and tried to drag her away. Lenka fell and screamed heart-rendingly “Dimka.” Aunt Klava demanded not to touch the girl. But no one listened to her. Then Vasiliev suddenly scattered the guys and gave Lena the opportunity to escape. Everyone immediately rushed after her. And Vasiliev saw Dimka and stopped. A conversation took place between Dima and Vasiliev. Vasiliev admitted that he likes Bessoltseva and that he does not believe in her betrayal. And Dima asked Vasiliev to talk to Lena and invite her to leave the city. At that moment, they heard from a distance the words of their classmates “Scarecrow” and “Traitor.” Then they rushed towards the screams.

Lena ran out onto her street. They shouted after her, “Scarecrow!” Passers-by turned around and looked with curiosity at the running Scarecrow. It was humiliating. And remembering this, Lena regretted that she then rushed to run. Now she believed that she just had to fight back to the end no matter what. And if she ran, it meant she felt guilty. She was able to get to her home. And then she saw Dimka. The guys rushed to him. He began to tell them something, moving away from her house. Lena decided that Dimka was revealing the truth to the guys and was delighted. She was waiting for him, she thought he would come and tell everything. But he didn't come. Then she called him. Dimka’s sister answered the phone. She said that Dima was not at home. It got dark. Someone knocked on the window. Lenka opened its doors. A bear's head appeared in the window with a terrible roar. Lenka got very scared, slammed the window and turned off the light. Grandfather came. He was very happy that evening, because... received a painting by his great-grandfather “Masha” as a gift. It was last work artist. Grandfather told Lenka about the painting, about the one that was depicted in this painting, but Lena listened to him sluggishly and without much interest. There was a knock on the window again. Grandfather opened the window. With a roar, a bear's head appeared. The grandfather contrived and tore off his head. Dimka was under the mask. Lenka immediately decided that Dimka was forced to do this, and now Dimka introduced himself to her with his hands tied. She began shouting “Dimka” out the window, but no one responded. Grandfather tried to calm her down. But Lenka was extremely excited. She ran out of the house, thinking that Dimka was not responding because they had put a gag in his mouth. However, she saw that in fact all her tormentors were sitting at Somov’s house and drinking tea. No one held Dimka’s hands, beat him, or tied him up. Then she realized that Dimka had deceived her. She grabbed a stone and broke a window in Dima's house. She returned home pale and exhausted. Through the window, he and his grandfather heard “Scarecrow!” and “Patcher!”

The next day, Lena washed her soiled dress. Through the window she noticed Dima, who was getting ready to see her. She immediately went out into the garden, ostensibly to hang her dress to dry. Dimka went into the garden. He admitted to Lenka that he was a scoundrel. He asked for forgiveness and promised to tell the guys everything. Lenka believed him again. Then Dima kissed her. The kiss was seen by Valka, who was passing by. He jumped up, tore the dress from the rope and said that he would return it in exchange for the bear mask. Dimka demanded that the dress be returned and rushed after Valka. Lena stopped Somov, went into the house to get the bear's muzzle and gave it to Dima. Somov asked whether Lenin’s grandfather knew what was happening? Lena answered no. Dima was happy. He ran to the guys to confess. And Lenka was afraid for Dimka and decided to be there in case of trouble. The guys gathered in the barn. Lena hid near a rotten hole in the barn. The guys laughed at Red, who put on Lenin's dress and portrayed the Scarecrow. Dimka came in and demanded that he give the dress back. Valka immediately began to talk about the kiss and that Somik was working on two fronts. Dimka was immediately tied up. Valka began beating Somov until he could not defend himself. But Dimka " went wild" and broke out. A fight broke out. Dimka grabbed the pole and began to swing it. The guys did not dare to attack the armed Somov. But when Somov met the Iron Button's gaze, she ordered him to give up the pole. He said that 4 guys hid behind the girl’s shoulders and threw the pole. A conversation took place between Mironova and Somov in which Dima tried to confess to the denunciation. Everyone agreed that Dimka could well have told Margarita everything and immediately began to circle Somov threateningly. Dimka got scared again and said that he was joking. But the Iron Button demanded to confess, looking into her eyes. Everyone began to attack Dimka. Lena couldn't stand it and ran into the barn. She began to push them away from Somov. She fought. When they noticed her, they were very surprised that she was not afraid to come. Mironova directly asked which of them with Somov was a traitor. Lena said she did. Dimka did not refute her words. Lena demanded that her dress be returned to her. But the guys started throwing it to each other over Lena’s head. And she rushed between them, trying to catch them. When the dress fell into Dima's hands, she extended her hand and smiled at him. But he did not give her the dress, but threw it to someone else. He was immediately approved. Lena hit Dima on the cheek. The guys knocked her down, tied her up, and dragged her out of the barn. A garden scarecrow was immediately found. They put Lenin's dress on him, stuck him in the ground and handed Dima matches. He hesitated. Lena asked him not to set him on fire. But Dima set it on fire. And then Lenka screamed very loudly and heart-rendingly. The guys got scared and let Lena out. She rushed towards the fire, tore the scarecrow out of the ground and began waving it around. The boys began to run away in fear. And Lena circled with the stuffed animal in her hands until she fell. She heard Mironova tell Dimka about her that one should not feel sorry for traitors. Then Lena heard retreating footsteps. After some time, Dima returned to Lena (He was hiding in the bushes) and again made her a promise to tell her the whole truth. They say now simply no one believed him. Lena began to remove the dress from the stuffed animal. I got burned. Dimka touched her cheek. But Lena recoiled from him, as if stung. She went to the river. I found an old boat there and hid under it.

The next morning I had to go to school. But Margarita Ivanovna has not arrived yet. Lena skipped that day. Lena came to school when Margarita had already arrived. Lena was deliberately late and entered the classroom after the bell rang. Margarita invited Lena to sit down. But Lena was waiting for a fair analysis of what happened. The teacher did not understand what Lena was expecting. Moreover, Margarita Ivanovna suggested forgetting everything that happened, because... she is no longer angry with her 6th grade class. Then Lena said that she would never sit at a desk again, she was leaving and came to say goodbye. Lena ran out of the classroom. At this moment, Lenka suddenly admitted to her grandfather that she had betrayed him, because... she was ashamed of his patches and did not defend his honor. Like if he was a beggar, then she would also hide from him and be ashamed. Now she understands that this cannot be done. This is where Lena's story ended. She began to pack her things, intending to leave the town. And the music was still coming from the neighboring house. Suddenly Vasilyev appeared on the threshold wearing broken glasses. He asked Lena if she was really leaving and if she was really a traitor? What about honor? Then Nikolai Nikolaevich said that Lena did not betray anyone. Vasiliev retorted, saying why then is she leaving? Are you chickening out? Then Lenka jumped up, put on the burnt dress that had once been on the scarecrow and ran out. Vasiliev followed her.

Lenka ran into the hairdresser. Aunt Klava greeted her extremely unfriendly. But Lenka told her almost everything without revealing Dimka’s name. Aunt Klava sympathized with Lena and wanted to give her the best hairstyle. But Lenka demanded to shave her head. Aunt Klava was indignant. Then Lenka grabbed the scissors and chopped up her hair. Aunt Klava resigned herself and shaved Lenka. Bessoltseva pulled on her cap and went to Dimka. When she entered, everyone was surprised and the joyful dancing stopped. Lenka made faces to the music in front of everyone. When the music stopped, she pulled off her cap and everyone saw her shorn head. Lenka began to shout that it was amazing how beautiful they all were, and she was a SCARECROW! She spoke to each one separately. I asked Dimka how it happened that he was so positive, but became friends with Scarecrow? A traitor? This is probably why he doesn’t look her in the eyes and has lost so much weight. He's apparently worried that he's made friends with a sneak! What about the Iron Button? How did it happen that she, a fighter for justice, is friends with the flayer Valka, who sells dogs for a ruble? Well, what about Shaggy? Come on, hit the Scarecrow on the head! After all, the main thing in life is strength! Ultimately, Lenka said that she felt sorry for them, the poor. And she left. Shaggy rushed towards Valka because of the dogs. During the scuffle, Valka accidentally revealed his family’s secret. It turns out that Shaggy’s father was made disabled by the Valka brothers because of a moose, which the forester, Shaggy’s father, once tried to protect. Iron Button ordered Shaggy not to touch Valka, and snorted contemptuously in the direction of the flayer. In her opinion, such people have no place in her company. Valka ran away. Mironova praised Scarecrow, saying that Lenka did a great job, she hit everyone! And if she weren’t a traitor, she would have made friends with her, because everyone else is a wimp! After these words, Mironova left. Shaggy and Red followed her. Dima, Shmakova and Popov remained in the room. It was then that Shmakova revealed the truth to Dimka, stating that at the moment of his conversation with Margarita, she and Popov were sitting under the desk and heard everything. Dimka was haunted and frightened. And Shmakova, pleased that now Somov is in her power and slave Popov can be replaced by Somov, said that this is a secret and they will not tell it to anyone in the class! But Popov suddenly declared that he couldn’t do this anymore and ran out.

The next morning, Lena woke up to the knocking and shaking of the house. She ran out into the street in fear. Nikolai Nikolaevich was boarding up the windows of the house. Seeing Lena, he demanded to bring nails. When the house was boarded up, Grandfather and Lena went to the pier. They carried with them a painting they nicknamed Masha and suitcases. Suddenly, familiar voices reached them: “Hold.” The guys from Lenin’s class ran past Lena and grandfather. They chased Dimka Somov through the city streets, just as they once chased Lena. Lena gave the painting to her grandfather and ran after the angry guys. Dimka was driven into the classroom. He was pressed from all sides. Then Somov jumped onto the windowsill, opened the window and declared that he would jump down. At that moment Lena entered the class. No one saw her, everyone’s eyes were glued to Dima. Lena quietly and calmly said, “Get off the window!” Then Dimka jumped off. The guys surrounded Lena. Mironova proposed boycotting Somov. The guys started voting “Yes!” and only Bessoltseva was AGAINST! Iron Button was surprised. I asked why Scarecrow is against it? And Lena replied that she was poisoned and burned at the stake. That's why she will never bully anyone. Valka shouted that then boycott and Scarecrow. But no one supported him. In general, few people now took him into account; he was despised for being a knacker. Then Margarita Ivanovna came in and said that Lena’s grandfather, Nikolai Nikolaevich Bessoltsev, gave the city his legendary house and a priceless collection of paintings. Therefore, now a museum will open in the city. Lena was no less surprised than her classmates. It was difficult for the guys to understand the action of Lena’s grandfather, because the house was very expensive, and according to legend, the paintings generally cost a million. Everyone gasped. Then there was a knock on the door. It was the same Patcher. He looked at the guys. And then he unexpectedly gave the school his favorite painting, “Mashka.” He took Lena and they left to leave. Margarita Ivanovna also had to leave to see her husband off. But Vasiliev said loudly and regretfully: “What people did they raise their hands against!” The class began to blame Somov for everything. And again the word “Boycott!” Then Margarita Ivanovna decided to sort everything out and did not go to accompany her husband. Mironova told the class about everything. Margarita Ivanovna felt ashamed that she did not help Lena at the right time. She asked in horror why Somov didn’t say anything to the guys? Somov's answer shocked everyone even more. Like, why is there only him? After all, Shmakova and Popov knew the truth. The class was noisy again. Smirnova again proposed a boycott. But no one supported her anymore. And Red suddenly announced that he would no longer make decisions like the majority, but would live with his own head! The Iron Button then declared that she alone would boycott Somov, because it was so fair! And suddenly she burst into tears. It turned out that Mironova did not like her mother’s behavior and that everything in their life was hidden. Valka noticed that in life everyone seeks their own benefit. But then Ryzhiy objected, saying, what about the Bessoltsevs? To which Valka stated that the Bessoltsevs are weirdos, but they are all ordinary. But Red gave a different verdict - “ We are caged babies. That's who we are! We need to be shown in the menagerie...For money.» The boat's horn sounded. Everyone rushed to the window except Somov. Red was the first to move away from the window and unfold the picture that Nikolai Nikolaevich had given him before leaving. The depicted Masha, who was already 100 years old, resembled the Scarecrow like two peas in a pod. The redhead shouted “She!” And everyone saw Lenka depicted. "Scarecrow!" - Shaggy shouted. But Vasiliev objected, saying that it was Bessoltseva! Then Red could not stand it and wrote on the board with chalk: “ Scarecrow, forgive us!«

That's how it is summary by chapter of the story " Scarecrow» Vladimir Zheleznyakova.

Title of the work: Scarecrow
Vladimir Karlovich Zheleznikov
Year of writing: 1981
Genre: story
Main characters: Lena- teenage girl, her grandfather

Plot

A new girl comes to a small provincial school - a girl named Lena. The whole city marvels at her grandfather - an old collector who is so carried away by his hobby that he forgets about appearance. That’s why people in the city call him “The Patcher.” Classmates treat the girl the same way; they consider her strange, eccentric and ridiculous. Only Dima, the idol of all the girls at school, pays attention to Lena and soon a tender feeling flares up between the guys.

One day the whole class is going to skip class, the class teacher extracts this story from Dima and, as punishment, cancels the long-promised trip to Moscow. The students decide that Lena betrayed them and declare a merciless boycott against her. The girl expects Dima to admit his crime, but he, fearing the anger and contempt of his classmates, remains silent.

In the end, the guys, having stolen Lena’s dress, make a scarecrow and burn it at the stake. Then one boy, who also knew the truth about Dima, reveals it to his friends.

A few days later, Lena and her grandfather leave the city, and the old collector leaves his paintings and house as a gift. He takes with him only one, which depicts Lena’s grandmother, still a girl, surprisingly similar to her granddaughter. The whole class deeply repents of their actions, but it is too late.

Conclusion (my opinion)

Stories about love and friendship, betrayal and nobility will never lose their relevance, because these are precisely the spiritual values that are commonly called eternal.

And for me it’s already a reward

The smiles of your sweet eyes.

I know everyone in the class is a genius

But without labor, the lesson is not for the future,

Cross the swords of your opinions -

We will create a lesson together.

Today we will have an extracurricular reading lesson based on the story by V.K. Zheleznikov “Scarecrow” (slide 1)

Vladimir Zheleznikov is a widely known name in children's literature. He spent most of his life writing good books about children.(slide 2, 3) "Colorful stories", " To good people – Good morning"," Traveler with Luggage "," The eccentric from the sixth "B", wrote the story "Scarecrow". The book became an event not only in the literary life of the country, especially after the film adaptation. They argued about it, agreed with it, rejected it, fearing to see themselves in the story.

In the film, the role of Lena Bessoltseva was excellently played by Kristina Orbakaite, then a twelve-year-old girl, but before we move on to discussing this story, let's watch one video(“About the cat”)and let’s think about what problem unites this video and Zheleznikov’s book “Scarecrow”?( slide 4) (the problem of cruelty and kindness, mercy)

And today we will talk, and perhaps argue, about the heroes of this work, about their actions, about the consequences of these actions, and we will try to find a solution to the problem of cruelty in the modern world.

Let's look at the epigraphs of the lesson(slide 5)

Why do you think these words are taken today as an epigraph?

Define topic our lesson.

2. Immersion in the problem.

This story is still relevant today, perhaps even more relevant than before. Many adults believe that childhood is the most cloudless, carefree time. Do you agree with this? Not really... It is in childhood that you first encounter pain, cruelty, and indifference.

Then I think we just need to understand the conflict that the author of the book “Scarecrow” showed us. Who are the participants?conflict? (slide 6) (Conflict is a clash of opposing interests, views, aspirations, a serious disagreement, a heated dispute leading to struggle. - Great Soviet Encyclopedia.)

A conflict requires at least two sides, two camps of confrontation. So, on the one hand it is -Lena and her grandfather and on the other - class and homeroom teacher.

3. Conversation based on the story.

Questions for the “class” group

Why didn't the guys in the class acceptnew girl and why is Lena Besoltseva called Scarecrow?( Because of absolute sincerity in behavior, because of openness towards all people, not like everyone else)

Who gave her this offensive nickname?( Ginger)

Do the other guys have nicknames?

(Shaggy, Red, Flayer, Iron Button.)

And what does this indicate?

(About the cruelty of children.)

Think about it: is child cruelty a temporary phenomenon? Or does it leave an imprint on the overall formation of character, and a person, becoming an adult, can remain cruel?

(Unfortunately, childhood cruelty, as life shows, if adults fail to stop it in time, blossoms in full bloom when a person becomes an adult. And then it leads to crime, because a cruel person does not even stop at murder...)

Why did classmates denounce Lena Bessoltseva?boycott? (slide7) (Boycott (according to Ozhegov’s dictionary) is the termination of a relationship with someone as a sign of protest against someone’s behavior or action)

Do you think that along with the class, Lena was boycotted by the class teacher, Margarita Ivanovna?

The class where Lena studied? Prove. (The team earned money for the trip)

Questions for the “Lena” group

Why didn’t Lena tell the guys about Dimka’s act? Is it possible to laugh at a person's feelings? Express and justify your point of view.

(Students' answers.)

Do you approve of Lena Bessoltseva, who was ready to sacrifice everything for her close friend? Should I do this? Will this benefit the person in whose name the sacrifice is made?

What terrible humiliation did the boys inflict on Lena Bessoltseva?

What is humiliation? (Humiliation is something that belittles or insults a person’s dignity.)

The class where Lena crowd studied? Prove it. (everyone has nicknames, burning scene)

Teacher.

The affirmation of a person occurs in a team. The class where Lena studied, the team or the crowd? What is a team and what is its strength?

Discussion in groups.

Team (earned money for the trip)

Crowd (everyone has nicknames, burning scene)

Let's look at this episode "Burning the Effigy" (slide 8)

Burning at the stake comes from ancient times, but bonfires burned especially brightly during the Inquisition. The clergy burned those who thought differently. That’s exactly what Lena was like.

Working on Chapter 11. Analysis of the scene “Burning an effigy at the stake” (The burning scene is read expressively by the student and teacher)

Conversation on perception .

The words of Yulia Drunina’s poem involuntarily come to mind:

I fought for your soul

But the soul was someone else’s,

And the soul was with rust.

But Love kept saying, so what?

I will destroy this rust.

There were blizzards and there were calms,

And what fires there were!

But here's the thing,

I was the only one burning in that fire.

Rust remains rust forever,

And someone else's soul is someone else's...

(If you can, then convey the feelings you experience.)

Compilation of verbal series 1 group - Dimka’s actions; Group 2 - Lena’s feelings and actions

Verbalrow 1.

ActionsDimki

“I don’t have matches,” Dimka said quietly... “He stood near the stuffed animal, his head bowed low... he slouched and seemed somehow small... he was small and weak... he fell to his knees and hung his head low ... he struck a match ... jumped up and hastily ran to the side."

Questions:

- How did Dimka behave? What does the epithet “small” mean? And what epithets does the author bestow upon him at the beginning of the story?(Dexterous, fast, strong. ) Is an epithet always a decoration?

(Cowardice gives rise to meanness. You will see this more than once when reading books and assessing certain life situations.)

Word series 2

Lenka's feelings and actions"...I completely stopped being afraid. I thought: if Dimka sets fire, then maybe I’ll just die... I froze - I waited in last time... I couldn’t stand it and screamed... They dragged me to the fire... I then felt the fire engulf me... I screamed... I rushed to the fire... I didn’t want the scarecrow to burn. I have become strong." Questions:

- What did Lena stop being afraid of? Did she feel sorry for the dress? ( Dimka had long ceased to be a hero in her eyes. She tells her grandfather: “When no one is there, he is a brave man, just as the guys appeared, he is the very last coward.” She was simply afraid to believe it. If he sets fire, then love, her soul will die.)

( Lena was able to survive. She will challenge the crowd: she will cut her hair bald. He will understand that he must not run away from the crowd, he must resist. And only a strong person can do this.)

- Who helped Lena survive, who was always by her side? (slide 9) ( Grandfather helped her to stand and not break.)

-What lessons can you learn for yourself? ? ( Take care of your elderly. Appreciate their intelligence, experience, and constant willingness to share your misfortune).

At the beginning of the story, the Iron Button said about Lena: “Let her remember our lesson for the rest of her life.”».

( I was at the stake, and they chased me down the street. And I will never chase anyone. And I will never poison anyone.)

Grandfather Bessoltsev, having donated all the paintings to the city, kept the most expensive one for himself - a portrait of his grandmother Maria Nikolaevna Bessoltseva.

- Why does he leave this portrait to the school, to the children who bullied his granddaughter? (He leaves Masha, the great altar, who dedicated her life to people, who has done so much for this town, so that she reminds the children of mercy and compassion.)

(She was strong in her righteousness, purity of thoughts, selflessness,

self-esteem, and the Iron Button and her company, except for strength and devotion to false ideals, had nothing to oppose this)

Conclusion:

I think that this story taught you a lot, including how to behave in a conflict situation. V. Zheleznikov wrote a difficult story. There are no edifying ideas in it. The author simply invites the reader to think about how to defeat the evil in oneself and awaken the bright.

No matter how difficult the relationship between people may be, humiliation of the dignity of another person should not be allowed. I would like to end with a poem:(slide 10)

There are different ways to live in life:

It is possible in sorrow and in joy.

Eat on time, drink on time,

Time to do nasty things...

Or you can do this: get up at dawn

And, thinking about a miracle.

Reach the sun with your naked hand

And give it to people!

(Teacher shows the sun from paper) I want to give you this sun, because it is the sun selflessly gives warmth, light, kindness. It shines on everyone equally: on people, on animals, and on plants. We are all different, and everyone fights for their place in the sun. Just as the sun unselfishly gives warmth to all living things, so Lena Bessoltseva radiated kindness and mercy to everyone. You will now write on its rays those human qualities that you will follow in later life.(slide 11) (The sun is attached to the board, and to the music of the song “On the Road of Goodness,” children write the words with markers: kindness, justice, mercy, love, friendship, patience, sensitivity, attentiveness, responsiveness).

Homework (slide 12)

Main characters

granddaughter Lena- the granddaughter came to a small town to live with her grandfather.

grandfather Nikolai Nikolaevich-lives by collecting and spends all his savings on paintings. His dream is to open a museum. Once upon a time, his great-grandfather was a serf artist, and he decided to find and collect all his great-grandfather’s paintings. In the town they call him “the patcher.” He wears an old, worn coat all the time.

“I, Scarecrow” is so much fun

Lena comes to study in a new class. The class greets the new girl with ridicule. And when the children find out that she is the “Patchmaker”’s own granddaughter, they begin to call her Scarecrow. The girl thinks that this is some kind of joke and that everyone is having fun. That's why she laughs at herself too.

There is a close-knit group in the class. The leader of this group is Mironova. The girl has strong will and she is very principled. For this she was nicknamed the Iron Button. Mironova is merciless towards those who, as she believes, act cowardly. Valya (boy) is also part of this company.

He believes that there is nothing more important in life than money. They can be mined using any means. Shaggy is the strongest boy in the group. He only believes in physical influence. There is also someone in the group at whom everyone laughs. His name is “Red”. The boy is indeed red-haired. Shmakova is the recognized beauty of the class. Her main traits are resourcefulness, cunning and coquetry. She surrounds herself with “slaves”. Her main “slave” is Popov. He was a big guy and a narrow-minded man.

Dima Somov also walked with this group. But he was not subordinate to Mironova. Being the smartest in the class, he tried to act independently. Shmakova, no matter how much she wanted, could not make him her “slave.” Lena Bessoltseva sat with him. She liked him immediately. And Dimka immediately stood up for Lena. A real knight. The boys had a great teacher. Her name was Margarita Ivanovna. The woman was busy with her personal affairs and was getting married. She had no time to delve into children's problems.

To Moscow, to Moscow

Margarita Ivanovna said that during the holidays there is an opportunity to go to Moscow with the whole class. Dima Somov suggested that they would not take money from their parents, but would earn it themselves. Everyone liked the idea. The class went together to pick apples, the children swept the streets and went to the local factory where they glued toys.

Somov basked in the rays of glory. He found a large piggy bank where the guys put all the money they managed to earn. Bessoltseva was allowed into the group and she became friends with Dima.

An unpleasant incident happened to Lena at the factory. She decided to try on the head of a hare. Classmates also put on animal faces and surrounded the naive Bessoltseva. She became very scared. Dima saved her and drove everyone away.

Dima and Lena were walking and saw Valka, who was busy with a disgusting task. He sold stray dogs to a knacker for a ruble. Somov took the unfortunate animal away from the little scoundrel and threatened that he would tell everyone about what he did for a living. His brother stood up for the flayer.

He was older than the boys and had already served in the army. Lena suddenly realized that Dima, whom she thought was not afraid of anyone, was very frightened. His face was literally “upside down” with fear.

Autumn is coming soon. The piggy bank could already be broken. According to the schedule, there should be a physics lesson in the class. The children came to it and saw that it was written on the board about replacing physics with literature. Dima told everyone that they needed to go to kindergarten to do their boss's work. The guys didn't want to work for free. Valka screamed the loudest.

Somov decided that he would tell everyone about this flayer. He was interrupted by Valka's brother, who unexpectedly entered the classroom. Dima was again frightened by his threats. And then Valka’s brother took a rag and, before leaving, erased the inscription about changing lessons from the board. Everyone decided that they were now free and ran away to the cinema.

Shmakova and her “slave” Popov remained in the classroom. Lena injured her knee while leaving school. This forced her to return to visit the infirmary. Dima forgot his piggy bank and returned to class to pick it up. Then Margarita Ivanovna came. She was surprised that no one came to class.

And she called Dima a coward. Then the boy decided to tell her the truth. Shmakova, Popov (under the desk) and Lena (behind the door) heard everything. Lena thought that Dima would tell her everything. He was silent. Shmakova will also remain silent.

In the morning the school was filled with joyful children. Everyone wanted to go to Moscow. Margarita Ivanovna stated that there would be no excursions for the 6th grade. So they decided to punish them for disrupting a literature lesson.

The class teacher was reprimanded for this incident. But she was released to the capital. Her fiancé lived there. Everyone began to be indignant, Margarita Ivanovna jumped out of the office in anger and slammed the piggy bank onto the floor. They decided to split the money.

A boycott is declared on Scarecrow

Iron Button decided to find out who betrayed the class. She decided that it was Dima, who returned to pick up the piggy bank. The boy was very scared. Lena was waiting for him to say how it all happened.

The tension in the class grew. And then, seeing how scared Dima was, Lena decided to take the blow on herself. Only Vasiliev did not believe it. All the others, led by Mironova, declared a boycott of Bessoltseva. The class heard the word “boycott”. But she had no time to delve into the essence. A meeting with her fiancé awaited her in Moscow.

The class began to bully the girl. They began to persecute and humiliate her. When Dima tried to stand up for her, he was also boycotted. Scarecrow, they didn’t call her anything else.

Lena told Dima that she heard everything and therefore took the blame upon herself. The boy promised her that he would confess. But he lacked courage. Shmakova conceived her game and told Popov to remain silent.

Grandfather, when the girl cut her hair bald, was amazed at her resemblance to the girl depicted in the picture by her great-grandfather. Carried away by his affairs, Nikolai Nikolaevich did not understand what was happening to his granddaughter.

But they scared her with a bear's head. When the old man pulled off the mask, it turned out that Dima was underneath it. Lena was very worried that he was forced to do this. But my grandfather didn’t notice any bullying.

When the hunted Lena, in a soiled dress, was walking home, she decided to look at Dima. He had the whole company. And no one tortured him. We sat and watched TV. Drank tea. Lena began to understand that Dima would never confess.

A new sad day has arrived. Lena washed the dress and wanted to hang it up. She was in the yard. Dima came and unexpectedly said that he was a vile coward. And if she has a little patience, he will tell everyone the truth. And then he kissed Lena. Valka saw everything. He stole the dress and ran away.

The scene ends in a barn. Everyone has gathered here. Dimka admitted, as if jokingly. Everyone was happy. Now he will be the target of bullying. Somov had to once again pretend that he was joking.

There's no need to be afraid of anyone

Again the girl saved him. She took everything upon herself again. And the boy remained cowardly silent. When they didn’t give the dress to Lena and played with it, passing it to each other, Dima also passed the dress on without giving it to her. Then she walked up and hit him in the face. Then everyone decided that the Scarecrow should be burned.

The guys found a stuffed animal on a stick somewhere. They put Lena's dress on him, wrote a sign saying "Scarecrow traitor" and forced Dima to set him on fire. Lena rushed to put out the dress, as if she herself was on fire. And a change occurred in the girl’s soul. She wasn't afraid of anyone anymore.

“Scarecrow, forgive us!”

The teacher arrived with her husband. She didn't even remember it scary word"boycott". While the girl was telling everything to her grandfather, everyone at Somov’s was having fun. The Bessoltsevs got ready to leave.

Vasiliev found out about this and accused Lena of being a coward. Lena cut her hair bald, put on a burnt dress and, really looking like a scarecrow, came to the house where everyone was having fun. She told everyone what she thought of them, proudly turned around and left.

The company had no time for fun. Everyone left. Shmakova and Popov remained. And then the girl told Dima everything about how they were also in class when he admitted that everyone had gone to the movies.

Shmakova calculated everything exactly. Now Dima Somov, handsome and smart, will become her faithful slave. Popov could not bear such betrayal. He, beside himself from what he heard and saw, told everything to the Iron Button.

Nikolai Nikolaevich decided that he and his granddaughter should leave the town. He decided to give all the paintings to the local museum. For free. Lena came to the pier and saw how a company she knew was chasing another outcast, Dima Somov. The boy ran away in fear, clinging to the fence.

Bessoltseva returned to class. She was greeted with some friendliness. When Margarita Ivanovna arrived, a boycott was already announced against Somov. Lena did not participate in this. The teacher spoke with delight about Bessoltsev’s action. Everyone gasped.

And at this time grandfather entered the class. He decided to give the school the painting “Mashka”, in which their distant relative looked very similar to Lena. Previously, he wanted to keep this painting for himself, but now he changed his mind.

And no one else wanted to boycott. And on the blackboard in capital letters wrote: “Scarecrow, forgive us!”

This article presents summary by chapter of the story" Scarecrow"Vladimir Zheleznyakova.

Lenka, the main character of the story, ran through the streets of the town in very excited feelings, mentally turning to her grandfather with one single request - to urgently leave this city.

Lenka’s grandfather’s name was Nikolai Nikolaevich Bessoltsev. He knew well the history of his old town, standing on the banks of the Oka. The Bessoltsev family was respected in the city. One of the Bessoltsevs was an artist, and the other a doctor. The doctor was shot by the Nazis for treating Soviet soldiers with German medicines. Nikolai Nikolaevich loved the Bessoltsevs' house since childhood and decided to come to his hometown after the death of his wife. Upon arrival, Nikolai Nikolaevich found a house with boarded up windows, a leaky roof, and a rotten porch. He immediately got to work. He was unsociable and not talkative. The townspeople treated the newly arrived Bessoltsev with respect, but they did not understand his way of life. He loved to walk around the city completely alone. And at night the lights were often on in his house. It was rumored that Nikolai Nikolaevich was a big fan of painting and that he used his last money to buy paintings. In fact, Nikolai Nikolaevich was looking at the paintings of his great-grandfather, the artist, which Nikolai Nikolaevich’s sister had once carefully hidden, covering them with burlap. Nikolai Nikolaevich dreamed that his son and his family would one day come to live in this house. One day, townspeople saw Nikolai Nikolaevich accompanied by a 12-year-old girl. He told everyone he met that this was his granddaughter Lena. In the fall, Lenka entered the 6th grade.

At this time, Lena's classmates were gathering for Dima Somov's birthday. Sixth-grader Valka, who will later be given the nickname “Flayer”, Shaggy and Red, dressed up Shmakova and Popov. Then they noticed the bespectacled Vasiliev on one side and Mironova, nicknamed Iron Button, dressed in a school uniform. Judging by Vasiliev’s clothes and the package in his hands, he was not going to his birthday. When asked directly by the guys whether Vasiliev was going to Somov, Vasiliev honestly answered that he was not. Mironova inquired about the true reasons for this decision. Vasiliev said that he was simply tired of Somov. Then the Iron Button asked Vasiliev: “Do you know what is due for betraying ideals?” The guys didn’t take long to figure out what was what. They surrounded him. Mironova “looked expressively at Shaggy” and Shaggy hit Vasiliev hard. He fell, knelt down and tried to find his glasses. Valka stepped on Vasiliev's glasses. But Vasiliev put on his broken glasses, called the guys savages and ran away. Later, the children met the class teacher, Margarita Ivanovna, who at that time had no time for the children. And a little later the guys came face to face with Lena Bessoltseva. The guys were truly delighted. They guessed that Lenka was getting ready to leave. They started yelling that the Scarecrow was leaving their city and that they had won. They surrounded Lena and began shouting the word “Scarecrow!” They circled her and continued to tease her. Nikolai Nikolaevich saw this scene appear. He stopped this madness with the words that six against one is not good. Everyone wanted to run away. But Mironova did not allow anyone to escape from the Patcher (this was Nikolai Nikolaevich’s nickname). She told Lena’s grandfather with contempt that they had nothing to be ashamed of, but he should be ashamed of his granddaughter. Nikolai Nikolaevich asked why. The Iron Button advised him to ask Lena herself. After this, a group of teenagers went to Dima Somov, and grandfather and Lena decided that she would leave the city tomorrow. At home, through the window, they heard sounds of fun from Somov’s house. Nikolai Nikolaevich could not drown out these sounds either by closing the window or playing the piano. Then Lena decided to tell her grandfather everything that happened to her.

Lena began her story from the very beginning, that is, from September. Margarita Ivanovna, the class teacher, asked Ryzhiy to introduce Lena Bessoltseva to the children of the class. Lena really wanted to make friends with Red and therefore smiled all the time. The redhead, seeing Lena’s smile, had difficulty holding back his laughter. Entering the classroom, Red could no longer hold back his cackle. He introduced Lena as “so new” that the whole class started laughing too. Lena had a smile, even if she sewed on the strings! The guys laughed at Lena and her grandfather, the Patcher. But Lena decided that they were just funny guys and also laughed along with everyone else. Lena was immediately dubbed Scarecrow. Only Dimka Somov stood up for Bessoltseva and stopped the general mockery of Lena. At that moment Margarita Ivanovna entered. She was getting married. On the occasion of her happiness, she treated the children to a box of chocolates. She also suggested that the guys go to Moscow during the holidays. The class was delighted. Margarita Ivanovna said that the children should ask their parents for money for the trip. But Dima Somov said that it would be better to earn money for the trip ourselves. Everyone was supportive. It was time to start the lesson. But Lena did not have her own place in the class. Of all the guys, Dima Somov was the friendliest to her. Therefore, Lena asked him if the seat next to him was free. Dima said it was busy. But he will try to solve this problem. He publicly told Shmakova that there were applicants for her place. Shmakova was indignant, but gave way to Lena and moved to Popov, harboring a grudge against both the new girl and Dima. Then the class began visiting kindergartens, state farms and factories to earn money for the trip. On one of these days, the guys were working in the garden, picking apples. It was a rainy day. Lena came wearing only shoes, which immediately got wet. Then Dima took off his rubber boots and gave them to Lena. One day they worked in a toy factory. Dima Somov received another salary for the whole class. The money was put into a common piggy bank. Dima gave the piggy bank itself to Lena for safekeeping. At that time she was wearing a Hare mask on her head. When Dima left the room, the guys put on animal masks and began circling around Lena, shouting that they would outwit the Hare and take the treasure chest. At the beginning, Lena accepted the game. But when they started pinching and pushing her, she got scared, fell and called Dima for help. He came. The game has stopped. Lena said that there are a lot of animals around. One day Lena and Dima were walking down the street together. Then Dima noticed Valka dragging a dog on a rope. Dima took the dog away and immediately released it. Valya began loudly calling Petya, his older brother, for help. He came running. Petya hit Dima. And later it turned out that the dog was recaptured by the brothers. Dima told Lena that Valya caught dogs in order to sell them to a slaughterhouse for money. Then Lena called Dima a hero and offered friendship. I kissed him. Valya and Petya saw this scene.

The last day of school before the holidays has arrived. Money for the trip to Moscow was collected. The last lesson was supposed to be physics. But “physics got sick.” The guys decided to skip class and go to the cinema. However, upon entering the classroom, the children found a note on the board from Margarita Ivanovna, informing them that instead of physics there would be a literature lesson. Moreover, Dima Somov finished off everyone with the statement that after school everyone should go to work for free in a kindergarten. They promised to help, but you have to keep your word. But no one supported him. They began to argue with him and look for excuses: some shouted that their parents forbade them to work, others that working for free was not fair, etc. Then Petya, Valka’s brother, appeared at the door and completely erased Margarita Ivanovna’s note. At the same time, he reminded Dimka that offending his brother was fraught with danger. Therefore, Dima’s desire to tell about Valka, that he is a flayer, immediately disappeared. The class decided that, in fact, someone unknown might have erased the writing on the board. This was the reason to quickly get ready for the cinema. The guys left. But not all. Shmakova and Popov remained in the class. Dima forgot his piggy bank. Shmakova and Popov began to dream of who could buy what with the money from the piggy bank. Hearing footsteps, they hid under the desk. Margarita Ivanovna entered. And a little later Dimka ran in to get the piggy bank. He did not know that Lena was running after him and turned out to be an involuntary witness to the conversation between Dima and the class teacher. Dima didn’t know about those hiding under the desk either. Margarita Ivanovna demanded that Dima tell him why her note was erased from the board and where everything was. Dimka tried to get out, but Margarita called Dimka a coward. Then Dimka told everything. Lenka thought that Dima would tell the guys about everything. But Dima was silent. He didn't tell her the truth either. Meanwhile, Shmakova was up to something.

The next day everyone came to class with suitcases. Margarita Ivanovna was in a very beautiful dress and with a rose. But her face was sad and stern. She announced to everyone that the school principal had reprimanded her because the students in her class deliberately disrupted class. Due to this, the trip to Moscow is cancelled. Someone said out of anger that they had deliberately disrupted the lesson in order to annoy Margarita Ivanovna. The teacher was amazed. Dimka Somov tried to calm everyone down and even suggested going to the director and apologizing. And he shouted to Margarita Ivanovna that the guys were joking like that. But when everyone realized that the trip was finally cancelled, they asked what to do with the money they earned. Margarita Ivanovna went to the piggy bank and broke it. She said that now the kids can go to the cinema every day and left the class. They decided to split the money. Shmakova began counting and sorting into 36 piles. Dimka suggested not giving up the idea of going to Moscow, saving up more and going on a trip during the winter holidays. But no one supported him except Bessoltseva. And the Iron Button unexpectedly offered to find the traitor, because someone had passed the class to Margarita. Dimka was very scared. And Lena hoped that he would confess. But in vain. Mironova gave the traitor 3 minutes to confess himself before she called his name. Everyone was silent. 3 minutes have passed. Then the Iron Button began to measure everyone's pulse. Popov's pulse turned out to be elevated. She called him a traitor. Somov stood up for Popov. But the Iron Button interrupted him and demanded that Popov tell everything. Popov agreed to tell everything. And again Dimka was scared. Seeing how Dima’s face had changed, Lenka felt sorry for him and declared that she was the traitor. Shaggy hit her hard on the back twice. But Lenka still laughed. Iron Button suggested boycotting Scarecrow! Everyone agreed. Margarita Ivanovna heard about the boycott, coming up to the door and banging on the door. When Mironova opened the door, someone told Margarita Ivanovna that Moscow was calling her to the telephone. The class teacher immediately forgot what she wanted from the class and ran to the phone. Everyone shouted "Boycott Scarecrow!" And Lenka also shouted “Boycott!”, as if it didn’t concern her. And she laughed along with everyone. Valka pestered Dimka and demanded that he shout “Boycott Scarecrow!” Then Lenka once again felt sorry for Dima. And she loudly shouted “Boycott!” right into Valentin's ear. Valka immediately fell behind. When the buses moved to Moscow, the guys saw Margarita Ivanovna below. She waved her hand at them. Valya invited her to spit on her head. Others were outraged by this. Shaggy generally called Valya a scumbag. Finally everyone decided that Margarita Ivanovna was simply calling everyone down. The class immediately rushed to run to the buses. Only Dimka and Lena remained in the office. Dimka wanted to say something to Lena, but she unexpectedly laughed. Then Dima ran out of the class. Lena ran out after Dima. This was the last day she had fun.

Dima and Lena joined the class. In the general joy of the school, only the 6th grade stood dejected. As it turned out, the guys misinterpreted Margarita Ivanovna’s gesture. The entire school left for Moscow except for the primary classes and their 6th grade. Almost all classmates began to disperse. Only a group of leaders remained. They ominously surrounded Lena and Dima, clasped their hands and began to tease, trying to hit them painfully between insults. Unexpectedly, Vasiliev opened the circle and gave the boycotted the opportunity to escape. The chase began. Dima and Lena ran into the hairdresser. Aunt Klava, Red’s mother, worked there. Dima managed to ask her not to give away the location of him and Lena. Aunt Klava complied with the request. But while Dima and Lena were hiding, they found themselves unwitting witnesses to a conversation between Red and his mother. It turns out that Red has not seen his father for more than 3 years. In Moscow, Red wanted to see him. Mom told Red that his father was waiting for him. Red got very angry and rushed off with an even greater desire to take revenge on the Scarecrow for the ruined trip. When Lena and Dima came out of hiding, Somov asked Lenka when she managed to tell Margarita about everything. Lena admitted that she didn’t tell the class anything, she just wanted to protect Dima. Dima asked Lena not to tell the guys anything yet, because this story doesn’t look very plausible. Without her, he will tell the guys the truth. Lena agreed. At this point in the story, grandfather and Lena quarreled, because grandfather could not stand it and called Dimka a coward, a scoundrel and a traitor. And he even tried to protect his evil classmates. So it seemed to Lena. Then she fell silent and cut off her story. But she continued it the next day. She thought about Red. And for some reason she suddenly felt sorry for him. She decided that perhaps Red laughed to tears at himself and everyone else, not because he was having fun, but out of deep resentment? So Lena began to rethink what had happened.

Lena and Dima did not leave the hairdresser because Lenka unexpectedly decided to do her hair. Dimka waited for her for some time, and then decided to go home. On the way he met Valka. When asked where Bessoltsev was, Dima replied that he did not know. Realizing that Lenka was in danger, he doubted whether to go home, but the rumbling in his stomach helped Somov decide in favor of home. While Dimka was walking, he figured out how and what he would say to the guys so that they would leave Lenka behind. Therefore, he walked home with a completely light heart. While Dima was having lunch, the guys gathered near the hairdresser, wondering where the fugitives might be. Valka said that he saw Somov, but he said he didn’t know where the Scarecrow was. Popov appeared and told everyone that Dimka Somov’s father had bought a brand new car. The guys were jealous. Vasiliev came and they tried to beat him for letting the traitors out of the ring. Then the door of the hairdresser opened and everyone saw Lena with her hair done. Shmakova became even more angry with envy. Lena was surrounded. Valka took out a straw and peas. He began to shoot painfully at Lenka. She didn't cry. But she grabbed the sore spots out of inertia. The guys enjoyed their mockery. Suddenly Aunt Klava came out. The peas got into it. She angrily demanded to stop bullying Bessoltseva. But Red not only did not listen to his mother, but even tried to hit Lena. Aunt Klava grabbed his hand. At that moment, Valka and Shaggy grabbed Lenka and tried to drag her away. Lenka fell and screamed heart-rendingly, “Dimka.” Aunt Klava demanded not to touch the girl. But no one listened to her. Then Vasiliev suddenly scattered the guys and gave Lena the opportunity to escape. Everyone immediately rushed after her. And Vasiliev saw Dimka and stopped. A conversation took place between Dima and Vasiliev. Vasiliev admitted that he likes Bessoltseva and that he does not believe in her betrayal. And Dima asked Vasiliev to talk to Lena and invite her to leave the city. At that moment, they heard from a distance the words of their classmates “Scarecrow” and “Traitor.” Then they rushed towards the screams.

Lena ran out onto her street. They shouted after her, “Scarecrow!” Passers-by turned around and looked with curiosity at the running Scarecrow. It was humiliating. And remembering this, Lena regretted that she then rushed to run. Now she believed that she just had to fight back to the end no matter what. And if she ran, it meant she felt guilty. She was able to get to her home. And then she saw Dimka. The guys rushed to him. He began to tell them something, moving away from her house. Lena decided that Dimka was revealing the truth to the guys and was delighted. She was waiting for him, she thought he would come and tell everything. But he didn't come. Then she called him. Dimka’s sister answered the phone. She said that Dima was not at home. It got dark. Someone knocked on the window. Lenka opened its doors. A bear's head appeared in the window with a terrible roar. Lenka got very scared, slammed the window and turned off the light. Grandfather came. He was very happy that evening, because he received his great-grandfather’s painting “Masha” as a gift. This was the artist's last work. Grandfather told Lenka about the painting, about the one that was depicted in this painting, but Lena listened to him sluggishly and without much interest. There was a knock on the window again. Grandfather opened the window. With a roar, a bear's head appeared. The grandfather contrived and tore off his head. Dimka was under the mask. Lenka immediately decided that Dimka was forced to do this, and now Dimka introduced himself to her with his hands tied. She started shouting “Dimka” out the window, but no one responded. Grandfather tried to calm her down. But Lenka was extremely excited. She ran out of the house, thinking that Dimka was not responding because they had put a gag in his mouth. However, she saw that in fact all her tormentors were sitting at Somov’s house and drinking tea. No one held Dimka’s hands, beat him, or tied him up. Then she realized that Dimka had deceived her. She grabbed a stone and broke a window in Dima's house. She returned home pale and exhausted. Through the window, he and his grandfather heard “Scarecrow!” and "Patcher!"

The next day, Lena washed her soiled dress. Through the window she noticed Dima, who was getting ready to see her. She immediately went out into the garden, ostensibly to hang her dress to dry. Dimka went into the garden. He admitted to Lenka that he was a scoundrel. He asked for forgiveness and promised to tell the guys everything. Lenka believed him again. Then Dima kissed her. The kiss was seen by Valka, who was passing by. He jumped up, tore the dress from the rope and said that he would return it in exchange for the bear mask. Dimka demanded that the dress be returned and rushed after Valka. Lena stopped Somov, went into the house to get the bear's muzzle and gave it to Dima. Somov asked whether Lenin’s grandfather knew what was happening? Lena answered no. Dima was happy. He ran to the guys to confess. And Lenka was afraid for Dimka and decided to be there in case of trouble. The guys gathered in the barn. Lena hid near a rotten hole in the barn. The guys laughed at Red, who put on Lenin's dress and portrayed the Scarecrow. Dimka came in and demanded that he give the dress back. Valka immediately began to talk about the kiss and that Somik was working on two fronts. Dimka was immediately tied up. Valka began beating Somov until he could not defend himself. But Dimka became furious and broke out. A fight broke out. Dimka grabbed the pole and began to swing it. The guys did not dare to attack the armed Somov. But when Somov met the Iron Button's gaze, she ordered him to give up the pole. He said that 4 guys hid behind the girl’s shoulders and threw the pole. A conversation took place between Mironova and Somov in which Dima tried to confess to the denunciation. Everyone agreed that Dimka could well have told Margarita everything and immediately began to circle Somov threateningly. Dimka got scared again and said that he was joking. But the Iron Button demanded to confess, looking into her eyes. Everyone began to attack Dimka. Lena couldn't stand it and ran into the barn. She began to push them away from Somov. She fought. When they noticed her, they were very surprised that she was not afraid to come. Mironova directly asked which of them with Somov was a traitor. Lena said she did. Dimka did not refute her words. Lena demanded that her dress be returned to her. But the guys started throwing it to each other over Lena’s head. And she rushed between them, trying to catch them. When the dress fell into Dima's hands, she extended her hand and smiled at him. But he did not give her the dress, but threw it to someone else. He was immediately approved. Lena hit Dima on the cheek. The guys knocked her down, tied her up, and dragged her out of the barn. A garden scarecrow was immediately found. They put Lenin's dress on him, stuck him in the ground and handed Dima matches. He hesitated. Lena asked him not to set him on fire. But Dima set it on fire. And then Lenka screamed very loudly and heart-rendingly. The guys got scared and let Lena out. She rushed towards the fire, tore the scarecrow out of the ground and began waving it around. The boys began to run away in fear. And Lena circled with the stuffed animal in her hands until she fell. She heard Mironova tell Dimka about her that one should not feel sorry for traitors. Then Lena heard retreating footsteps. After some time, Dima returned to Lena (He was hiding in the bushes) and again made her a promise to tell her the whole truth. They say now simply no one believed him. Lena began to remove the dress from the stuffed animal. I got burned. Dimka touched her cheek. But Lena recoiled from him, as if stung. She went to the river. I found an old boat there and hid under it.

The next morning I had to go to school. But Margarita Ivanovna has not arrived yet. Lena skipped that day. Lena came to school when Margarita had already arrived. Lena was deliberately late and entered the classroom after the bell rang. Margarita invited Lena to sit down. But Lena was waiting for a fair analysis of what happened. The teacher did not understand what Lena was expecting. Moreover, Margarita Ivanovna suggested that we forget everything that happened, because she was no longer angry about her 6th grade. Then Lena said that she would never sit at a desk again, she was leaving and came to say goodbye. Lena ran out of the classroom. At this moment, Lenka suddenly admitted to her grandfather that she had betrayed him, because she was ashamed of his patches and did not defend his honor. Like if he was a beggar, then she would also hide from him and be ashamed. Now she understands that this cannot be done. This is where Lena's story ended. She began to pack her things, intending to leave the town. And the music was still coming from the neighboring house. Suddenly Vasilyev appeared on the threshold wearing broken glasses. He asked Lena if she was really leaving and if she was really a traitor? What about honor? Then Nikolai Nikolaevich said that Lena did not betray anyone. Vasiliev retorted, saying why then is she leaving? Are you chickening out? Then Lenka jumped up, put on the burnt dress that had once been on the scarecrow and ran out. Vasiliev followed her.

The next morning, Lena woke up to the knocking and shaking of the house. She ran out into the street in fear. Nikolai Nikolaevich was boarding up the windows of the house. Seeing Lena, he demanded to bring nails. When the house was boarded up, Grandfather and Lena went to the pier. They carried with them a painting they nicknamed Masha and suitcases. Suddenly, familiar voices reached them: “Hold.” The guys from Lenin’s class ran past Lena and grandfather. They chased Dimka Somov through the city streets, just as they once chased Lena. Lena gave the painting to her grandfather and ran after the angry guys. Dimka was driven into the classroom. He was pressed from all sides. Then Somov jumped onto the windowsill, opened the window and declared that he would jump down. At that moment Lena entered the class. No one saw her, everyone’s eyes were glued to Dima. Lena quietly and calmly said, “Get off the window!” Then Dimka jumped off. The guys surrounded Lena. Mironova proposed boycotting Somov. The guys started voting “Yes!” and only Bessoltseva was AGAINST! Iron Button was surprised. I asked why Scarecrow is against it? And Lena replied that she was poisoned and burned at the stake. That's why she will never bully anyone. Valka shouted that then boycott and Scarecrow. But no one supported him. In general, few people now took him into account; he was despised for being a knacker. Then Margarita Ivanovna came in and said that Lena’s grandfather, Nikolai Nikolaevich Bessoltsev, gave the city his legendary house and a priceless collection of paintings. Therefore, now a museum will open in the city. Lena was no less surprised than her classmates. It was difficult for the guys to understand the action of Lena’s grandfather, because the house was very expensive, and according to legend, the paintings generally cost a million. Everyone gasped. Then there was a knock on the door. It was the same Patcher. He looked at the guys. And then he unexpectedly gave the school his favorite painting, “Mashka.” He took Lena and they left to leave. Margarita Ivanovna also had to leave to see her husband off. But Vasiliev said loudly and regretfully: “What people have they raised their hands against!” The class began to blame Somov for everything. And again the word "Boycott!" Then Margarita Ivanovna decided to sort everything out and did not go to accompany her husband. Mironova told the class about everything. Margarita Ivanovna felt ashamed that she did not help Lena at the right time. She asked in horror why Somov didn’t say anything to the guys? Somov's answer shocked everyone even more. Like, why is there only him? After all, Shmakova and Popov knew the truth. The class was noisy again. Smirnova again proposed a boycott. But no one supported her anymore. And Red suddenly announced that he would no longer make decisions like the majority, but would live with his own head! The Iron Button then declared that she alone would boycott Somov, because it was so fair! And suddenly she burst into tears. It turned out that Mironova did not like her mother’s behavior and that everything in their life was hidden. Valka noticed that in life everyone seeks their own benefit. But then Ryzhiy objected, saying, what about the Bessoltsevs? To which Valka stated that the Bessoltsevs are weirdos, but they are all ordinary. But Red gave a different verdict - “We are children from a cage. That’s who we are! We need to be shown in the menagerie... For money.” The boat's horn sounded. Everyone rushed to the window except Somov. Red was the first to move away from the window and unfold the picture that Nikolai Nikolaevich had given him before leaving. The depicted Masha, who was already 100 years old, resembled the Scarecrow like two peas in a pod. The redhead shouted "She!" And everyone saw Lenka depicted. "Scarecrow!" - Shaggy shouted. But Vasiliev objected, saying that it was Bessoltseva! Then Red could not stand it and wrote on the board with chalk: “Scarecrow, forgive us!”
