Feedback on the story "Acceptant"
I really liked this story and I am sure that Priemysh not only flew safely to the warm climes, but definitely returned to Taras the next year with his girlfriend. I really liked that Taras did not cut the bird's wings, did not deprive it of its freedom, but left the bird the right to choose its own destiny.

A golden cage for a nightingale is no fun.

Drawings and illustrations for the story "Priemysh"

This story contains an amazing story about how an old man tamed a swan. The bird became almost like a son to him.
From the lips of the hunter, the reader learns the story of the foster swan. The lonely old man Taras lives by the lake. Once on a hunt, the townspeople, who, of course, do not understand nature, shot two swans - a father and mother, and they left an orphan chick, which hid in the reeds. Grandfather Taras sympathized with the chick, began to feed him, but did not rub himself into friendship with the proud bird. I had to take the chick, saving from the cold, to the barn. Soon the swan got used to the assistant, began to show interest in his life.

My grandfather had another pet - a dog. So she and the swan stopped being afraid of each other, they even began to play. Surprisingly, they already ate from the same bowl! The old man only admired their friendship. Yes, and they themselves admired when he was walking on a boat, and a handsome swan was swimming in front.

He treated the swan just like his own child, which is why he can be called an adopted child.

And yet the time came when the swan became quite an adult. In addition, a flock of equally beautiful birds flew to the lake. The swan, although afraid, wanted to join them. First, Taras closed him in the house, wanting to save him. The man thought that his pet was incapable of flying with the flock. After all, there young birds are brought up, trained, and this one will hardly get food for himself. Where is there to fly to warmer climes! But the swan wept like a bird so much that Taras let him go. According to him, the foster child rushed to his native birds, but stopped, as if saying goodbye to his adoptive father, shouted in his own way, saying, thank you for the bread and salt. And flew away on a long journey. The swan has made his choice.

Without his swan, Taras has aged a lot, worrying about the fate of the bird.

Still, the breed took its toll. I would like to believe that the bird, humanly, felt a sense of gratitude to the old man Taras, who took care of her so tenderly.

Year of publication of the book: 1891

The story of the famous Russian prose writer Mamin-Sibiryak "Priemysh" was first published in 1891 in one of the children's magazines. Like many other works of the writer, this work tells about the life of a hunter who lives in the forest. Even the subtitle of Mamin-Sibiryak's story "Acceptant" sounds like "From the stories of an old hunter."

The story "Priemysh" summary

It was a rainy but warm summer day. It's the kind of place that's nice to walk through the woods. Especially if you are heading to a place where you can warm up a little later. And, if in big cities the downpour is associated with mud, then in the forest, as we see from the story of D.N. Mamin-Sibiryak "Priemysh", the earth absorbs water so quickly that you walk on slightly damp grass. It is especially beautiful in those moments when the rain stops and the sun appears in the sky. Then the dense dense forest looks even greener because of the drops of water and sparkles as if dressed in diamonds.

And on one of these rainy days, the narrator went to visit his old friend, a watchman named Taras. For a long time he made his way along the forest path until he came to a large cape. As soon as the narrator began to approach Taras's house, a dog ran out to meet him, barking, guarding his territory. The fisherman's house now seemed rather small because of the tall grass that grew around it. In the tale of Mamin-Sibiryak “The Adopted”, the summary tells that when the narrator approached the hut directly, a dog ran out to him, who recognized her old friend. There was no one in the house, and the guest concluded that the watchman went to the lake to check the catch. The door was open, so the man went inside. Despite the fact that the house seemed low, inside it was quite spacious. And, if in the summer old Taras lived alone, then in the winter he accommodated many workers who came during fishing. After that, in the story "Priemysh" we read that the guest undertook to make a fire, and Sobolko (that was the name of the watchdog) was spinning around him.

Meanwhile, the rain had already completely stopped, and white clouds appeared in the sky, because of which the sun was visible. The yard smelled of fresh grass, which grew near the hut, and a pine forest, which stood not far from the house. The narrator felt so good that he understood why old Taras had lived here alone for about forty years - after all, there is nothing in the city that could compare with the beauty of nature. During his discussions, the guest put a kettle of water on the fire and began to wait for the old man. Suddenly, as the work of Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak "The Adopted" tells, the dog happily began to wag its tail, and the man realized that Taras was heading home. When he noticed the watchman, he was surprised that he was leading a beautiful white swan. Taras grumbled at the bird and tried to make it go faster, reproaching the swan for flying away from home.

The friends greeted each other. Taras told the guest that he was absent because he was looking for Priemysh, a swan whose family was killed during a hunt. The bird itself hid in the reeds, because it did not yet know how to fly. Taras felt sorry for the swan, and as the main character, he decided to take him to him. Gradually, Priemysh even remembered where his house was, and if he had to go out to swim on the lake, by evening he would return to the old man. Then the guest told Taras that winter was coming soon and the swan could fly to warmer climes. However, the old watchman was sure that this would not happen, because the bird had already got used to him. In addition, the narrator learned that Priemysh even made friends with Sobolok - they play together, share food, and when the swan sails for a short time, the dog waits for him on the lakeshore and howls with anguish.

Taras talked about Priemysh with such enthusiasm that the narrator liked to listen to him. For this he loved the watchman - for his kindness and sincerity. Once upon a time, the old man was an avid hunter, but due to the fact that now he cannot walk for a long time, he took up fishing. In the evening, the narrator and Taras went to Svetloye Lake to fish, and the next morning the guest left the watchman's house. The old man said goodbye that he should come in the fall, when there would be a big catch. If we read the work “Priemysh” by Mamin-Sibiryak briefly, then we will find out that the master said goodbye to Taras and was already heading for the exit, when he turned around and noticed how merrily Sobolko and Priemysh were frolicking. Old Taras, seeing this scene, began to laugh like a small child.

In Mamin-Sibiryak's story "Accepted", we can read that the next time the narrator went to Svetloye Lake already in late autumn. The first snow had just fallen that day, and the forest looked very beautiful. Now that the tall grass had settled, Taras's house seemed much taller than it had been in summer. Sobolko immediately recognized his friend, ran up to him and began to wag his tail. Taras, seeing the narrator, admitted that he had been feeling bad lately because of the bad weather. The men made tea for themselves and started a conversation, during which the watchman said that the swan, which he sheltered in the summer, had flown away. This happened because a small flock of birds once descended onto the lake, which were heading for warmer climes. For a long time, Priemysh went to them time after time, at first fearing, and later trusting the swans. The man did not want to let the bird go, but he understood that the swan was wild in nature. And now, if we listen to the story “Priemysh” by Mamin-Sibiryak, then we will find out that once Priemysh left the house, went to the lake, and in the evening flew away with the flock. The old man was worried, because the swan was weak and had never flown such distances. Sobolko also took the loss of a friend hard. Sometimes Taras asks him: “Where is the Foster?”, and the dog begins to howl loudly from longing.

The story "Priemysh" by Mamin-Sibiryak was written in 1891. The writer devoted many of his works to nature, which he loved very much and felt subtly. The beautiful, touching tale of the swan and the old man was no exception.

Main characters

Taras- a watchman, a kind, sympathetic old man with a big heart.

Adopted- a young swan whom Taras saved from certain death.

Other characters

Narrator- a hunter, an old friend of Taras.

Sobolko- the faithful dog of Taras, a friend of Priemysh.

On a rainy summer day, the hunter enjoyed walking in the forest. The rain began to thin, and soon the Lake of Light appeared before the traveler's eyes, on the shore of which his old acquaintance, the watchman Taras, lived.

When the hunter came closer to the hut, "a motley little dog ran out onto the road and burst into desperate barking." It was Sobolko, the old faithful dog of Taras. Having sniffed the traveler's hunting boots, he recognized him and "wagged his tail guiltily".

The house was empty. Most likely, the owner "went to the lake to inspect some fishing tackle." Taras was about ninety years old, and he himself forgot when he was born. However, the man remained still strong and hardy, and had only one weakness - the love of warmth, which was explained by his "venerable age".

In anticipation of Taras, the hunter began to "begin to make a fire." By that time, the rain had already passed, and “the hot July sun appeared in the sky, under the rays of which the wet grass seemed to smoke.” The intoxicating aroma of fresh grass, sage, pines filled the air.

Unexpectedly, Sobolko "squealed with joy" when he saw the owner's boat on the surface of the lake. To his surprise, the hunter noticed a swan swimming in front of the boat. Having got out on the shore, the beautiful bird slowly went to the hut.

Taras told how once "master hunters" arrived and shot "a swan with a swan". Only one chick survived, which Taras found in the reeds. He called him Adoptive, and became very attached to the swan.

One hunter advised Taras to cut the bird's wings so that it would not fly away to warmer climes in winter, but he refused. The adoptee became close friends with Sobolko, with whom he walked together and even shared food.

The next time the hunter visited Taras "already in late autumn, when the first snow fell." The old man looked “decrepit and miserable”, and the reason for this was parting with the Foster. One day, during frosts, "a herd of swans descended on Svetloye Lake." The adoptee saw them, and was not a little melancholy. Taras had no choice but to release the free bird to his relatives. Despite his great love for Priemysh, he did not want to keep him by force. Parting with the swan was very difficult for Taras, and even Sobolko was sad about his white-winged comrade ...
