Message topic and purpose:
Guys, you have leaflets on your desks. Read the information contained in them, and say, what natural phenomenon are we talking about?
A type of heavy rainfall that falls in the form of spherical or irregularly shaped ice particles of different sizes, from a millimeter to several centimeters. Their composition includes layers of transparent ice, alternating with translucent layers. Typically, such precipitation falls in the warm summer season during thunderstorms and showers from fairly large and highly developed cumulonimbus clouds. Such precipitation causes great harm to agriculture, because it can almost completely destroy crops.
(yes it's hail)
Guys, guess the riddles:
They say I'm stubborn
What an absurd character.
I'm not stubborn, my friends
Simply reckless!
I go when I want
And I stand when I want
I "ee-ee" scream
And I knock with hooves.
(Donkey)
The beast is waddling
For raspberries and honey.
He loves sweets very much.
And when autumn comes
Climbs into a hole until spring,
Where he sleeps and dreams.

In one forest there lived a donkey with animal friends. They loved to walk, play, have fun. Autumn has come. All the animals went to school, only the donkey did not want to study. He decided that while everyone was studying, it would be better to walk and have fun. The animals, returning from school, told the donkey with what great desire they go to study, because at school they learn a lot of interesting, useful, necessary things for themselves. And the donkey laughed at his friends and told how he sleeps until dinner, watches cartoons, sunbathes in a clearing, jumps along the paths. The animals were indignant, sighed: they felt sorry for the stubborn donkey.
And, so, one day a postman came from a neighboring forest and brought a letter from his grandmother to the donkey. But since the donkey did not go to school and did not learn letters, he could not read the letter. He went to his animal friends and asked them to read the letter. But the animals answered the donkey: “You yourself must learn to read, this will always come in handy in your life. Just imagine, you go to the store and read the names of the stores and streets yourself. When buying toys or sweets, you also read their name. It's so interesting to be able to read, so learn to read yourself!
The donkey was upset and cried. A bunny ran past, he felt sorry for the stubborn donkey, and the bunny read a letter from his grandmother. She wrote:
My dear donkey!
Remember, the path to knowledge lies through the rocky mountains, which you will have to climb with all your might.
The first mountain is called “Difficult”. It is difficult to write letters, learn to read, solve problems, but you remember my hint:
“If it’s difficult, be bold and try harder.” And then you will overcome the mountain, you will learn to cope with difficulties.
The second mountain is called - "Boring". Boring letters, neatly write numbers line by line. I want to run, play, I want to quit everything, but don't quit, but learn a hint:
“You finish your work as soon as possible so that you can cope with boredom faster.” And then you will learn to cope with boredom and come to the steepest mountain - "Failure". Everything seems to work out, but mistakes along the way constantly creep in and the wrong paths are chosen by themselves. But you learn my hint:
“If a mistake happens, I will learn from it, not be upset.” And then you will overcome this mountain and become a learned donkey - a fiver.
Good luck with your studies! Your grandmother.
The donkey was delighted with the letter and the next day he and his animal friends hurried to school. At first, it was difficult for the donkey to study at school. So I did not want to listen to the teacher's explanations, I could not compose and solve the problem, crooked letters fell from the line. And then the donkey remembered the "tips" of his grandmother, and diligently applied them in the lessons. Approximately deduced each letter, number, learned to read, solve and memorize the teacher's explanations. And the donkey began to get everything great!
Now the donkey is quite an adult, he studied and became a professor of medical sciences. His grandmother and animal friends come to visit him. Grandmother is proud of her grandson's achievement. All together they drink tea, remember their childhood. And also the donkey-professor treats the grandmother and friends from all illnesses.

But suddenly he thought again: “Now it doesn’t hurt me, the house doesn’t hurt, but the umbrella probably hurts. How to be?" (V O)
“Stupid donkey,” grumbled the bear cub, “you can never hide everyone from the hail. Someone will get hurt.
“If so,” said the donkey, “let it hurt me.”

Gennady Mikhailovich Tsyferov (1930–1972) is well known to all the children of our country, because he wrote the scripts for famous cartoons: “The Train from Romashkov”, “Losharik”, “The Frog is Looking for Dad”, “My Green Crocodile” (in collaboration with another wonderful writer , Heinrich Sapgir).
Tsyferov felt the harmony of the world and sought to express it, showing the depth and ambiguity of simple things that can become magical. In his fairy tales there is no tough confrontation, no obvious struggle between good and evil, sometimes they seem to be conflict-free.
There is nothing surprising in the fact that the writer S. Kozlov found such kind and true words for the writer Tsyferov. The author of affectionate tales about the Hedgehog, the Bear Cub and the Horse, drowned in the fog, probably best understood the author of tales about a lonely donkey, cloudy milk and a whale that could fly. Sergei Kozlov wrote:
“... I don’t know how to say this, but it seems to me that Tsyferov, before releasing a few words into the light, kept them on his lips for a moment, biting a little like gold coins. Hence the feeling that he was looking for a continuation of the phrase - o sh u p yu. Gennady Mikhailovich Tsyferov was also an improviser. Improvisers are people to whom notes or words come instantly, flashing like a precious bead on an invisible thread of imagination. And only then, having reached the end, if necessary, they finish their work more carefully ...
Gennady Mikhailovich Tsyferov never immediately wrote down his fairy tales and each time told them in a new way.
- But yesterday this fairy tale was better! I wondered. - You forgot?
“No,” he answered. - I haven't forgotten anything. I'm looking for…"
These words became the preface to the most, perhaps, the most famous book by Gennady Tsyferov, which is called "The Secret of the Oven Cricket."
The book talks about Mozart, only not an adult, but a little one. But Mozart was also an improviser...
5. Summary of the lesson
5.1 Children evaluate their work in the lesson
W:Indeed, Gennady Tsyferov was a writer who told his tales every time in a new way - the way the old storytellers did, constantly changing something, improving the melody and sound. That is why his stories are so musical and all the words are “ground in” to each other.
W:Which of the two stories you read did you like best?
W:Now raise your hands, those who found it easy to work at the lesson today? Why? And now lift those who found it a little more difficult to work. Why? Raise your hands those who found it very difficult to work in the lesson. Why?
, . .Once upon a time there was a donkey in the world of Buridan.
They say that he (the poor man dying between two haystacks) was invented by the medieval philosopher Jean Buridan. There are some doubts here, but perhaps by the end of the parable, something will become clear. You just need to be a little patient until all the letters fall on paper.
Well, this donkey had a very serious problem, and not even one, but a whole chain. Just about all this and talking about.
But first, let's give him a name, otherwise it's somehow inconvenient - everything is a donkey and a donkey, and even Buridans. And this donkey liked to think (just like a man), but all the time he was afraid of something. (Maybe he really was a man? - well, maybe not now, but sometime before?) But enough questions, otherwise we will never get to the name - and we will die between the name and the donkey.
Let's call him Clever - he is, after all, such a little stupid donkey, with all these problems of his, well, it will be very pleasant for him to have such a name.
The donkey, named Egghead, was very hungry, and this was his main problem (at that time). He wandered, wandered through a deserted field, and was already completely exhausted from hunger, when he suddenly saw hay in the distance.
“This is luck,” he thought, and went in that direction. (He did not yet know that happiness and unhappiness always go together.)
Approaching the goal, Smart Guy saw that on the other side there was also a haystack - just as beautiful (for a donkey) as the first one. He stopped and began to look closely - it turned out that the kopecks were exactly the same in size, and the distances to them were also the same. And then he thought, which one to choose? I want something more, more comfortable and tastier (well, just like a person).
So he would have died of starvation, like that Buridan donkey that people talk about (but is it true?), But he was still Clever, and this saved him. He suffered, suffered from an insoluble problem (at that time), and fell asleep. And Clever woke up from the most charming aroma of meadow hay. He looked, and while he was sleeping, the rising wind threw several shreds of hay from one stack into the air, and they scattered in his direction - one, so very close to him. The donkey went to the nearest one, scrambled it, then to the next one - and so it got to that kopeck piece. And such a life has now begun for him - sheer happiness.
But we know that happiness cannot be eternal - somewhere nearby, its opposite always wanders (or is it just the same phenomenon, only from different sides?).
Over time, he made friends with him - neighbors, living somewhere nearby. They came, told all sorts of news, discussed them; sometimes argued about this and that. Quite intelligent neighbors - just a match for Egghead. Well, he has an interesting life now. (And this means that somewhere not far away, troubles are already hatching.)
And somehow in the morning, grabbing hay, Egghead saw something very strange in the distance. He squinted, squinted, and realized that on one side (like on the very horizon) he could see a candle emitting a joyful golden light; and on the other side (also in the distance) the poker twinkles seductively, promising a lot of pleasure. He discussed this news with his neighbors, and, in the end, they came to the conclusion that, sooner or later, they would have to choose where to go.
“Maybe it’s better not to go anywhere?” thought the Wise Man.
His friends slowly dispersed - some to the candle, some to the poker, and he lives so-so and lives on a penny. It seems that everything is fine with him - there is plenty of hay, even young grass has begun to grow in the field, but something does not give him rest, something gnaws at his soul. Well, of course, - you need to make a choice, you need to go further, but what to choose? Everything seems to look beautiful, and everything looms far away ...
So time goes on and on - and the Egghead got really bad.
- What to decide, where to go? So he can't make a choice.
(Well, absolutely “neither a candle to God, nor a poker to hell.”)
Egghead was exhausted completely, and he is not at all glad that he once found this hay.
“Oh, if there were no hay, there would be no present problem,” he thinks.
But one day he sees - from the side of the candle someone is walking towards him. All so joyfully calm, light-faced. Easily, easily touching the ground goes - and the ground also becomes some kind of light where he passed. The blades of grass turned greener brighter, the starlings busily scurry across the field, and the brook tinkles its bells over the pebbles ... Everyone rejoices at him.
The donkey turns its head - and from the poker, too, cheerfully, someone is walking. He was so businesslike, smart, well-dressed, clean-shaven and a fragrant cigar in his teeth. And so quick-eyed - nothing escapes his attention.
And so they approached the donkey at the same time, each from its own side, and stopped at the same distance from it.
“Hello, Smart Guy,” they said at the same time.
The wise guy looked at them in bewilderment.
“We have come to talk to you about the need to make a choice,” the quick-eyed spoke up.
The light-faced man nodded his head and smiled.
Why should I choose? asked the Clever. “And what is it that I have to choose?” -
- Sooner or later, but inevitably, in the life of conscious beings there comes a time when it is necessary to make a choice between useful or unprofitable; beautiful or ugly; good or bad; honest or dishonest; big or small,” the light-faced man said in a low, but very clearly audible voice. -
- You can think, can't you? he asked the donkey.
“Of course,” said Egghead, “I have a name, too—you see what it is.” -
- Well, what do you like to think about more? About food or about the meaning of life? -
- First, hay, of course - without food, after all, in any way. And to talk about the meaning of life, it is even pleasant on a full stomach to pass the time. -
- Well, then what are you doing while away it, this time - do you want to live to death as soon as possible? So what? -
The donkey flapped its beautiful eyes in confusion.
- Why are you silent? the light-faced man asked.
The quick-eyed chuckled softly.
The wise guy wiggled his ears and looked at the flying starling.
“Does the starling make any choice?” Or is he just passing the time until his death? - he asked.
“The starling just does the work assigned to him, because he has no mind - he does not think. And you have been given a mind, so you can think and choose what you like or don’t like,” answered the quick-eyed.
“Well, if the mind is such a burden, then I better get rid of it,” Egghead muttered, looking at the growing grass.
“Yeah, you’ve already made your choice,” the light-faced man said cheerfully. “You chose his 'kingdom',” and he pointed to the quick-eyed one.
What are your kingdoms? Are some of you good and some bad? – the Clever asked with interest.
The quick-eyed one slyly looked at the light-faced one.
– My kingdom is a world of conveniences, a world of material benefits and benefits. And his realm,” and he nodded at the light-faced one, “is the world of spiritual aspirations, the world of comforts for the soul.
"You're not the devil, by any chance?" Clever squinted suspiciously.
The quick-eyed one laughed, and the light-faced one smiled thoughtfully. Then the quick-eyed one pulled two boxes out of his pocket and quickly laid them out, turning each into a comfortable chair. These chairs he had moved into a more even space, and now he and the fair-faced man sat close together.
“You understand, Egghead,” the light-faced man began, “there is nothing really good or bad in the world. Beings that have a mind (man, for example), give their assessment to everything, because such is the property of the mind. What one likes is called good, and what one does not like is called bad. For example, if you are hungry, then hay, oats, field grass are good food for you, but for a person this food is bad, because food prepared in a special way is tasty to him. Or - now, while the grass has not yet grown, the hay is very tasty for you, but when the grass and other delights of nature grow up, you won’t even look at the hay.
But, for example, about "our kingdoms." Yes, his "kingdom" - and he looked at the quick-eyed one - is a world of convenience and profit. There people care about personal gain and convenience for themselves. And in mine - they strive for the divine, good, bright; taking care of the purity of the soul.
But someone can run to my “kingdom” for their own benefit, thinking like this: “Here, I’ll get well with God, and he forgives all his sins. And I will be hired everywhere. It's good to go to church." You can already see for yourself which "kingdom" he actually chose.
And someone will choose the “kingdom” of earthly comforts, but never in anything, without doing anything that can interfere or harm other people. Yes, and he chose this "kingdom" in order to, having money and opportunities, help those in need. You already guessed that his affairs lead to my "kingdom".
This is exactly how it is in ordinary earthly life. There are no visible "kingdoms" in it, but there is the concept of good and evil, light and darkness, divine and evil. And all conscious beings make a choice every moment - how to act (or say, or think) - honestly and sincerely; or petty, thinking only about their own benefit.
What do you think about it? -
The wise guy thoughtfully looked at the horizon, then shifted his gaze to the light-faced one, thought some more, and looked at the quick-eyed one. He smiled reassuringly at the donkey. The wise guy turned to the light face.
- You said everything very well and clearly, thank you. But he did not answer, after all, my question to him, and nodded at the quick-eyed one. - Why is he silent? I did ask him. -
The bright-faced one smiled, and the quick-eyed one chuckled softly. The donkey looked at them both attentively and wiggled his ears lightly. And at that moment he realized that he was not at all nervous, as he used to be.
“I wonder,” he thought, “when did I manage to change so much? Really in these few minutes?
“Yes, yes, Egghead,” the light-faced man replied to his thoughts, “precisely for these “several minutes.” When you understood what I said, part of your fears dissipated, for fears come either from ignorance or from accumulated evil. There is no evil in you. And the experience of understanding life will help to get rid of other fears. And now let Monobyt answer your question. And by the way, your question was a good one, even though you don't know it yet. -
The donkey politely waved its tail and, looking sideways at the quick-eyed one, asked, “What kind of name is it?” -
The light-faced man looked at Monobyt with a smile.
1. Pregnancy in donkeys lasts 12-14 months. A mother donkey gives birth, as a rule, to 1 colt. Feeds milk for up to a year. Within a couple of weeks after birth, the foal begins to eat roughage.
2. The height of an adult animal is 90-163 cm. The donkey reaches this height at the age of two.
3. Animals become sexually mature at the age of 2-2.5 years. Life expectancy is 25-35 years. But it can live up to 45 years.
4. Content features - a few words about hooves
Most afraid of moisture. Dry climate is the best for donkeys. Humidity is categorically contraindicated, hooves are very vulnerable. They are more resistant to stony soils, not as vulnerable as a horse. But they do not tolerate wet conditions at all. If you keep a donkey at home in the northern regions, then you should take this moment into account, not the frosts are terrible, but the humidity.
5. How to feed?
The donkey eats like an average goat: hay, heads of corn ...
For the stall period, you need 300 kg of feed per 1 animal
For a long time they can do without food and water, hardy and strong animals.
