The protagonists of the famous trilogy by N. Nosov "The Adventures of Dunno and His Friends" are short men - fabulous little men as tall as a cucumber. The writer endowed the characters with pronounced character traits, so that even young children would understand: one hero is a greedy person, another is a glutton, the third is a bore and a whiner, the fourth is an ignoramus who, due to ignorance and arrogance, gets into ridiculous situations.
Instructions
Step 1
The protagonists of the first part of the book were short men living in the same house on Kolokolchikov Street - Dunno and 15 of his neighbors. Dunno is lazy, does not like to study, but he is very curious and active, which is why troubles constantly happen to him. His antipode is Znayka, a serious short man in glasses and a strict suit who knows a lot, constantly studies and always thinks over his actions well. Perhaps this is the only character who looks like an adult.
Step 2
The rest are very childish, despite their serious professions. For example, Dr. Pilyulkin practices "punitive medicine", prescribing castor oil to his offended Dunno for the night. The artist Tube and the musician Guslya also live in this house. The latter plays many instruments, and Tube is excellent at drawing. Otherwise, these are ordinary children who like to play tag and hide and seek, quarrel and make peace with each other.
Step 3
Shorty Donut and Syrup are gluttons and greedy. Using their example, children should understand what the excessive eating of sweets leads to. Grunt is a classic grouch and bore who spoils the mood of others with pessimism. Dumbbell Rasterayka shows readers how important it is to be organized and collected, so as not to look for clothes at the last moment and not freeze in a balloon without a hat. Trouble happens to Rapid because he is hyperactive and uncollected. The example of the brothers Avoska and Neboska should teach the guys what serious consequences rash actions and the habit of relying on chance can lead to. Shorty Silent is a typical phlegmatic who does not show initiative, does not climb anywhere and speaks only when he is addressed.
Step 4
Vintik and Shpuntik, who are activists of the Skillful Hands circle, quick-witted and hardworking little men, are engaged in an important matter. They repair household appliances, make a car and help Znayka to implement his scientific projects. At the same time, they are active and inquisitive - a good example to all readers of the book. The hunter Pulka with the dog Bulka, with whom Dunno sometimes goes hunting, also live in the house.
Step 5
The first part of the book simply tells children in a fun and accessible form about relationships between people, about how important it is to forgive others shortcomings and be more strict about yourself, how funny boasters and talkers are … There is no family in the world of short people - kids and babies are just friends, there is no industry and agriculture - all handicraft production; no money - there is a natural exchange of goods.
Step 6
In the second part, titled "Dunno in the Sunny City" Dunno and two of his friends, baby Pachkulya Pestrenky and baby Knopochka, find themselves in the city in which a communist society was built. New heroes appear there, selfless workers, kind and sympathetic, who show travelers huge factories with fully automated production and the same automated farming. Residents of the Sunny City do not know everyday worries, as they eat in free cafes and use free automated laundries. But even here Dunno did trouble, turning two donkeys and a hinnie from a zoo into short ones. The ill-mannered, stupid new residents nearly ruined the life of an entire city. Only the intervention of a wizard saved the communist society.
Step 7
In the last book of the trilogy "Dunno on the Moon" Dunno and Donut, again through the fault of the former, fall into capitalism, which is successfully rotting in lunar cities. Nosov very clearly, in an accessible form, tells what surplus value and joint-stock company, unemployment and competition are, how people live in a world where man is a wolf to man. Dunno shows her best features - courage and loyalty, overcoming difficulties with her new friend Kozlik. The donut, on the contrary, gives free rein to the worst sides - greed and selfishness, turning into a capitalist exploiter. However, life re-educates him, and Donut is finally learning to understand other short ones, taking their place.
