The story My homeland read
My mother got up early, before the sun. Once I also got up before the sun to set snares for quails at dawn. My mother treated me to tea with milk. This milk was boiled in an earthenware pot and covered with a ruddy froth on top, and under that froth it was unusually tasty, and tea from it became excellent.
This treat decided my life in a good way: I started getting up before the sun to drink delicious tea with my mother. Little by little, I got so used to this morning rising that I could no longer sleep through the sunrise.
Then I got up early in the city, and now I always write early, when the whole animal and plant world wakes up and also begins to work in its own way.
And often, often I think: what if we rose like this for our work with the sun! How much health, joy, life and happiness would then come to people!
After tea, I went hunting for quails, starlings, nightingales, grasshoppers, turtledoves, butterflies. I didn’t have a gun then, and even now a gun is not necessary in my hunting.
My hunting was then and now - in the finds. It was necessary to find in nature something that I had not yet seen, and, perhaps, no one had ever met with this in their lives.
The female quail had to be caught with snares so that she would call the male best of all, and the male with the most vociferous one should be caught with a net. The young nightingale had to be fed with ant eggs, so that later he would sing the best. And go and find such an anthill and manage to stuff a bag with these eggs, and then lure the ants onto the branches from your precious testicles.
My farm was large, the paths were countless.
My young friends! We are the masters of our nature, and for us it is the pantry of the sun with the great treasures of life. Not only do these treasures need to be protected - they must be opened and shown.
Fish need clean water - we will protect our reservoirs. There are various valuable animals in the forests, steppes, mountains - we will protect our forests, steppes, mountains.
Fish - water, bird - air, beast - forest, steppe, mountains. And a man needs a home. And to protect nature means to protect the homeland.
My mother always got up early. I also had to get up early to set bird traps. The two of us drank tea with milk. The tea tasted amazing. The aroma was given by baked milk in a pot. I specifically woke up at sunrise to drink this tea. Getting up with the sun has become a habit for me. Every day I saw the sun rising. If every person woke up with the sun, how much beauty would be added to the earth.
After drinking tea, I went hunting for various birds and insects. I didn't need a weapon. I did not want to kill anyone, the main thing is to find some interesting event. Something that might surprise. The female quail should be the best barker, and the male the best singer. I had to feed the nightingale with ant eggs. And try to do it! My farm is immense, and there are countless paths in it.
Dear young friends! Mother nature puts the treasures of life in bins for us, and we, as owners, must dispose of this. But we must not hide them. We must use them carefully and carefully. Fish need to live in clean reservoirs, which means it is necessary to create and protect reservoirs. Animals need steppes, mountains and forests. Let's save the environment for them. Preserving nature for our smaller brothers, we protect our homeland. The story teaches love for the motherland.
