Heroes of the Silver Hoof
The common people are the main character of all Pavel Petrovich's collections. And each character has its own face, its own "odd". For example, the old man Kokovanya from the fairy tale about the magical forest goat. Let's take a look at its summary. "Silver Hoof" - this is the name of the work. It was written for children, but, no doubt, it will be interesting for adults as well. And the ideas expressed here are very instructive and important, because they educate and instill in us universal human virtues and values. The tale (we will give a summary) "Silver Hoof" tells about the fate of the little orphan Darenka (Daria), nicknamed Gift, her cat Muryonka and the old lonely hunter Kukovan. The six-year-old Daryonka was left without parents and ended up in a strange family. And there is a hut full of their children, they live from hand to mouth. Of course, they began to offend the orphan, reproach with a piece. Yes, she also picked up a cat, the same thin and hungry, but kind and cheerful. How it starts to purr - and hear outside the door! Now a few words about Kokovan, otherwise the story and its summary will not be clear. "Silver Hoof" - although a fairy tale, people like this old man are often found in real life. They are kind, compassionate, despite their age, young at heart, subtly feel the beauty of life, know how to rejoice in little things and are open like children. Therefore, he found an approach to Daryonka, and greeted her kitty. People like Kokovane keep the world going!
Story plot
But let's continue to recall the work, its summary. "The Silver Hoof" is a fairy tale because, in addition to specific, realistic details, it also includes elements of fantasy and magic. This theme is connected with the mysterious goat, which has been hunted for many years in the snowy winter forests of Kokovanya. Not to kill! He just heard from old people that a goat with five horns lives in the forest. And his hoof is not simple, but silver. And he knocks out precious gems for them. But not everyone can see this miracle! Let's follow the plot, its summary. Bazhov wrote his "Silver Hoof" in such a way that the reader is in suspense all the time, mentally asking the writer with genuine interest: "What's next?" And then all three of the heroes go to the forest, where the magic goat appears to Daryonka. He endows the orphan with a whole scattering of precious stones. True, Muryonka is lost: most likely, she is also a difficult cat, so she returned to her fairy-tale kingdom. This is where the Silver Hoof ends. The summary of the tale can be completed with the author's explanation of where the chrysolite deposits came from in the Urals: the goat snitched!
This is such a wonderful work - the tale "Silver Hoof" by P. P. Bazhov!
