STORIES
Filipok
There was a boy, his name was Philip.
All the boys went to school. Philip took his hat and wanted to go too. But his mother told him:
Where are you going, Filipok?
To school.
You are still small, do not go, - and his mother left him at home.
The guys went to school. Father left for the forest in the morning, mother went to day job. Filipok remained in the hut and grandmother on the stove. Filipka became bored alone, grandmother fell asleep, and he began to look for a hat. I didn’t find my own, I took my father’s old one and went to school.
The school was outside the village near the church. When Philip walked through his settlement, the dogs did not touch him, they knew him. But when he went out to other people's yards, the Beetle jumped out, barked, and behind the Beetle - big dog Top. Filipok started to run, the dogs behind him. Filipok began to scream, stumbled and fell.
A man came out, drove the dogs away and said:
Where are you, the shooter, running alone?
Filipok said nothing, picked up the floors and set off at full speed.
He ran to the school. There is no one on the porch, and in the school, you can hear the voices of the children buzzing. Fear came over Filipka: "What will the teacher drive me away?" And he began to think what to do. Back to go - again the dog will seize, to go to school - the teacher is afraid.
A woman with a bucket walked past the school and said:
Everyone is learning, and why are you standing here?
Filipok went to school. In the vestibule he took off his hat and opened the door. The school was full of kids. Everyone shouted their own, and the teacher in a red scarf walked in the middle.
What are you? he shouted at Philip.
Filipok grabbed his hat and said nothing.
Who are you?
Filipok was silent.
Or are you dumb?
Filipok was so frightened that he could not speak.
So go home if you don't want to talk.
But Filipok would be glad to say something, but his throat was dry from fear. He looked at the teacher and wept. Then the teacher felt sorry for him. He stroked his head and asked the guys who this boy was.
This is Filipok, Kostyushkin's brother, he has been asking for school for a long time, but his mother does not let him in, and he came to school furtively.
Well, sit down on the bench next to your brother, and I'll ask your mother to let you go to school.
The teacher began showing Filipok the letters, but Filipok already knew them and could read a little.
Well, put down your name.
Filipok said:
Hwe-i-hvi, le-i-li, pe-ok-pok.
Everyone laughed.
Well done, said the teacher. - Who taught you to read?
Filipok dared and said:
Kosciuszka. I'm poor, I immediately understood everything. What a dexterous passion I am!
The teacher laughed and said:
You wait to boast, but learn.
Since then, Filipok began to go to school with the guys.
Wranglers
Two people on the street found a book together and began to argue who should take it.
The third walked by and asked:
So why do you need a book? You argue anyway, like two bald men fought over a comb, but there was nothing to scratch yourself.
lazy daughter
The mother and daughter took out a tub of water and wanted to carry it into the hut.
Daughter said:
It's hard to carry, give me some salt and water.
Mother said:
You yourself will drink at home, and if you pour it, you will have to go another time.
Daughter said:
I won't drink at home, but here I'll get drunk all day.
Old grandfather and granddaughter
The grandfather became very old. His legs could not walk, his eyes could not see, his ears could not hear, he had no teeth. And when he ate, it flowed back from his mouth. The son and daughter-in-law stopped putting him at the table, and let him dine at the stove.
They took him down once to dine in a cup. He wanted to move it, but dropped it and broke it. The daughter-in-law began to scold the old man for spoiling everything in the house and breaking cups, and said that now she would give him dinner in the pelvis. The old man just sighed and said nothing.
Once a husband and wife sit at home and look - their little son plays planks on the floor - something works out. The father asked:
What are you doing, Misha?
And Misha says:
It's me, father, I'm doing the pelvis. When you and your mother are old, to feed you from this pelvis.
Husband and wife looked at each other and wept. They felt ashamed that they had offended the old man so much; and from then on they began to put him at the table and look after him.
Bone
Mother bought plums and wanted to give them to the children after dinner.
They were on a plate. Vanya never ate plums and kept sniffing them. And he really liked them. I really wanted to eat. He kept walking past the plums. When no one was in the room, he could not resist, grabbed one plum and ate it.
Before dinner, the mother counted the plums and sees that one is missing. She told her father.
At dinner, the father says:
And what, children, has anyone eaten one plum?
Everyone said:
Vanya blushed like a cancer and said the same.

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy - Collection of 279 works
For lovers of Leo Tolstoy's work, 2010 is a significant year. We celebrated on September 9 the 100th anniversary of his death.
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Biography with photos
Leo Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828 in the Yasnaya Polyana estate. Among the ancestors of the writer on the paternal side is an associate of Peter I - P. A. Tolstoy, one of the first in Russia to receive county title. Member Patriotic War 1812 was the father of the writer gr. N. I. Tolstoy. On the maternal side, Tolstoy belonged to the family of the princes Bolkonsky, related by kinship with the princes Trubetskoy, Golitsyn, Odoevsky, Lykov and other noble families. On his mother's side, Tolstoy was a relative of A. S. Pushkin.
When Tolstoy was in his ninth year, his father took him to Moscow for the first time, the impressions of the meeting with which were vividly conveyed by the future writer in children's essay"Kremlin". The first period of young Tolstoy's life in Moscow lasted less than four years. He was orphaned early, having lost first his mother and then his father. With his sister and three brothers, young Tolstoy moved to Kazan. Here lived one of the father's sisters, who became their guardians.
Living in Kazan, Tolstoy spent two and a half years preparing to enter the university, where he studied from 1844, first in the eastern, and then in law faculty. Studied Turkish and Tatar languages from the famous Turkologist Professor Kazembek.
Classes in government programs and textbooks weighed heavily on Tolstoy the student. He got carried away independent work above historical theme and, leaving the university, he left Kazan for Yasnaya Polyana, which he received under the division of his father's inheritance. Then he went to Moscow, where at the end of 1850 he began his writing activity: an unfinished story from the gypsy life (the manuscript has not been preserved) and a description of one day lived ("The History of Yesterday"). Then the story "Childhood" was started. Soon Tolstoy decided to go to the Caucasus, where his older brother, Nikolai Nikolaevich, an artillery officer, served in the army. Having entered the army as a cadet, he later passed the exam for a junior officer rank. Writer's impressions Caucasian war reflected in the stories "The Raid" (1853), "Cutting the Forest" (1855), "Degraded" (1856), in the story "Cossacks" (1852-1863). In the Caucasus, the story "Childhood" was completed, which was published in 1852 in the journal Sovremennik.
When did it start Crimean War, Tolstoy was transferred from the Caucasus to the Danube army, which acted against the Turks, and then to Sevastopol, besieged by the combined forces of England, France and Turkey.
In the autumn of 1856 he retired and soon went on a six-month trip abroad, visiting France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. In 1859, Tolstoy opened a school for peasant children in Yasnaya Polyana, and then helped open more than 20 schools in the surrounding villages.
One of the first works of the writer were the stories "Childhood", "Adolescence" and "Youth", "Youth" (which, however, was not written). As conceived by the author, they were to compose the novel "Four Epochs of Development".
In the early 1860s for decades, the order of Tolstoy's life, his way of life, is established. In 1862, he married the daughter of a Moscow doctor, Sofya Andreevna Bers.
The writer is working on the novel "War and Peace" (1863-1869). After completing War and Peace, Tolstoy spent several years studying materials about Peter I and his time. However, after writing several chapters of the "Petrine" novel, Tolstoy abandoned his plan.
In the spring of 1873, Tolstoy began and four years later completed work on a large novel about modernity, naming it by name main character— Anna Karenina.
At the beginning of 1880s. Tolstoy moved with his family from Yasnaya Polyana to Moscow, taking care to educate his growing children. In 1882, a census of the Moscow population took place, in which the writer took part. He saw the inhabitants of the city's slums up close and described them terrible life in the article on the census and in the treatise "So what shall we do?" (1882-1886).
On the basis of social and psychological contrast, Tolstoy's story "The Master and the Worker" (1895) is built, stylistically connected with the cycle of his folk stories written in the 80s.
All the works of the writer are united by the thought of an inevitable and close in time "denouement" social contradictions, about replacing the obsolete social "order". “What the denouement will be, I don’t know,” wrote Tolstoy in 1892, “but that things are coming to it and that life cannot go on like this, in such forms, I am sure.” This idea inspired largest work of all the work of the "late" Tolstoy - the novel "Resurrection" (1889-1899).
AT last decade In his life, the writer worked on the story "Hadji Murad" (1896-1904), in which he sought to compare the "two poles of imperious absolutism" - the European, personified by Nicholas I, and the Asian, personified by Shamil .. The article written in 1908 sounded sharp I can be silent", in which he protested against the repressions of the participants in the events of 1905-1907. The stories of the writer "After the ball", "For what?" belong to the same period.
Burdened by the way of life in Yasnaya Polyana, Tolstoy more than once intended and for a long time did not dare to leave it. But he could no longer live according to the "together-apart" principle, and on the night of October 28 (November 10) he secretly left Yasnaya Polyana. On the way, he fell ill with pneumonia and was forced to make a stop at the small station Astapovo (now Leo Tolstoy), where he died. On November 10 (23), 1910, the writer was buried in Yasnaya Polyana, in the forest, on the edge of a ravine, where, as a child, he and his brother searched for a "green stick" that kept the "secret" of how to make all people happy.

Biography of Leo Tolstoy
Lev Nikolaevich was born into a famous noble family. The roots of the Tolstoy family date back to the 14th century. Leo was orphaned at a fairly young age, first his mother passed away, and then his father. Distant relatives and aunts alternately engaged in the upbringing of children. In 1844, Tolstoy enters the Imperial Kazan University, but the young man studies very badly, because of which the threat of repeating the course hangs over him. In the future, the occupation of Leo Tolstoy is quite different, then he is an avid gambler and reveler, then he tries himself in literature. Basically it depends on financial position. This lasts until 1951, until he gets into the artillery brigade as a cadet. The very next year, Sovremennik publishes the debut, partly autobiographical work Tolstoy "Childhood". This debut work is quite successful, which allows the author to write subsequent works more confidently, which only strengthen his authority.
But Tolstoy, like many writers of that time such as, and many others, had a chance to take part in numerous wars. At first it was two years in the Caucasus, where the young cadet lost the George Cross to his colleague. Then it was the defense of Sevastopol, which prompted Tolstoy to write the Sevastopol Tales cycle. These works of Leo Tolstoy further cemented his fame as a great writer. 
In 1857 begins new stage in Tolstoy's life. He goes on a trip to Europe. After returning from Europe in 1961, Tolstoy became a mediator in the Tula province. It is during this period of the writer's life that the most novels read Tolstoy "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina". These works have become significant both for the author and for world literature as a whole. In subsequent years, right up to his death, the author devotes a lot of time to writing new works, as well as educational and community service. He opened schools for peasants, published an educational magazine and did charity work. At the same time, he was very sensitive to family values and children.
