Which is easier? - Valentina OSEEVA - listen online

Three boys went into the forest. There are mushrooms, berries, birds in the forest. The boys went on a spree. We didn’t notice how the day passed. They go home - they are afraid:

It will hit us at home!

So they stopped on the road and thought what was better: to lie or to tell the truth?

“I’ll say,” says the first, “that a wolf attacked me in the forest.” The father will be afraid and will not scold.

“I’ll say,” says the second, “that I met my grandfather.” My mother will be happy and will not scold me.

“And I’ll tell the truth,” says the third. - It’s always easier to tell the truth, because it’s the truth and there’s no need to invent anything.

So they all went home. As soon as the first boy told his father about the wolf, look, the forest guard is coming.

“No,” he says, “there are wolves in these places.”

The father got angry. For the first guilt I was angry, and for the lie - twice as angry.

The second boy told about his grandfather. And the grandfather is right there - coming to visit.

Mother found out the truth. For the first guilt I was angry, but for the lie I was twice as angry.

And the third boy, as soon as he arrived, immediately confessed to everything. His aunt grumbled at him and forgave him.

So they all went home. As soon as the first boy told his father about the wolf, lo and behold, the forest guard was coming.

The father got angry. For the first offense he punished him, and for the lie he punished him twice.

The second boy told about his grandfather. And my grandfather is right there coming to visit.

The main characters of Oseeva’s story “What’s Easier?” - three boys. They went into the forest, but were so carried away there that they did not notice how evening had come. The boys were afraid that they would be scolded at home for their long absence. They began to think about how to avoid punishment.

One boy came up with the idea that he met a wolf. This boy decided that, having learned about the danger that threatened his son, his parents would be afraid and would not scold him. Another boy came up with the idea that he was staying late visiting his grandfather. And the third boy decided to tell the truth, because telling the truth is easier than coming up with a plausible lie.

When the boys came home, the first of them told their father about the wolf. But the father learned from the forester that there were no wolves in these places. And the boy was punished twice - for a long absence, and for lying. The second boy, when he came home, told about how he visited his grandfather. And grandfather, right there, came to visit. And the boy’s deception was revealed. He was also punished twice. The third boy told the truth at home. He was scolded a little and forgiven.

That's how it is summary story.

The main idea of ​​the story “Which is easier?” is that telling the truth is easier than lying. The third boy told the truth and he escaped punishment. And the first two boys lied to their parents and were punished twice. The story teaches you to be honest and truthful, never to deceive loved ones.

In Oseeva’s story, I liked the third boy who told the truth at home. He turned out to be honest, decent and responsible. The boy understood that he was to blame for the long absence and was ready to bear responsibility for his action. Therefore, he did not invent anything and told the truth.

What proverbs fit the story “Which is easier?”

The secret always becomes clear.
Cheating won't get you far.
With truth there is light everywhere.

An instructive and moral story by V. A. Oseev for schoolchildren about the need to always tell the truth.
