All good people are one family
Vasily Sukhomlinsky
In the second grade there was a drawing lesson. The children drew a swallow.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. The teacher opened the door and saw a tear-stained woman - the mother of little white-haired, blue-eyed Natasha.
“I ask you,” the mother turned to the teacher, “to let Natasha go.” Grandmother died.
The teacher walked up to the table and said quietly:
- Children, great grief has come. Natasha's grandmother died. Natasha turned pale. Her eyes filled with tears. She leaned on her desk and cried quietly.
- Go home, Natasha. Mom came for you.
– While the girl was getting ready to go home, the teacher said:
“We won’t have lessons today either.” After all, there is great grief in our family.
– This is in Natasha’s family? – asked Kolya.
“No, in our human family,” the teacher explained. - All good people are one family. And if someone in our family died, we were orphaned.

Essay on the topic “Family” for grades 1, 2, 3
I live in a large and friendly family. I love mom and dad very much. My mother works as a children's doctor in a clinic, and my father is a geography teacher. I also have an older sister, Lisa, and a younger brother, Kostya. Lisa always helps me with my homework. Kostya is still very young and goes to kindergarten. I like to play railroad games with him and build castles with blocks.
On weekends we all usually go to the cinema or to a cafe together. During the holidays we travel a lot, and we also make sure to visit our grandmother in the village. I love spending time there and walking through the forest. My parents never scold me, they understand and try to help. My family is very dear to me, and I cannot imagine my life without them. My family is the best!
How Vasilko was born
Vasily Sukhomlinsky
- Children, today is the birthday of your friend Vasilka. Today you, Vasilko, turn eight years old. Congratulations on your birthday. I’ll tell you, children, how Vasilko was born.
Vasilko was not yet in the world, his father worked as a tractor driver, and his mother worked in the silkworm production department.
The tractor driver's young wife was preparing to become a mother. In the evening, the young husband got ready to take his wife to the maternity hospital tomorrow.
At night a snowstorm broke out, a lot of snow fell, and the roads were covered with snowdrifts. The car could not move, and there was no way to postpone the trip, the young woman felt: a child would soon be born. The husband left to get the tractor, and at this time his wife began to experience terrible pain.
The husband adapted a large sled to the tractor, laid his wife on it, left the house, and it was seven kilometers to the maternity hospital. The snowstorm does not stop, the steppe is covered with a white veil, the wife is moaning, the tractor is barely making its way through the snowdrifts.
Halfway there it became impossible to go further, the tractor sank in the snowdrifts, and the engine stalled. A young husband approached his wife, lifted her from the sleigh, wrapped her in a blanket and carried her in his arms, with incredible difficulty getting out of one snowdrift and plunging into another.
The snowstorm raged, the snow blinded his eyes, the husband was sweating, his heart was beating out of his chest; it seemed that one more step and he would no longer have the strength, but at the same time it was clear to the man that if he stopped for even a minute, he would die.
After a few tens of meters, he stopped for a moment, took off his coat, remaining in a padded jacket.
The wife was moaning in his arms, the wind was howling in the steppe, and the husband in these moments was not thinking about anything except the small living creature that was about to be born and for which he, the young tractor driver Stepan, is responsible to his wife, to his father and mother, to his grandfather and my grandmother, before the entire human race, before my conscience.
The young father walked four terrible kilometers for several hours; He knocked on the door of the maternity hospital in the evening; knocked, handed his wife wrapped in a blanket into the hands of the nurses and fell unconscious. When they unrolled the blanket, the amazed doctors could not believe their eyes: next to his wife lay a child - alive, strong. He had just been born, the mother began to feed her son right there in the corridor, and the doctors surrounded the bed in which the father lay.
For ten days Stepan was between life and death.
Doctors saved his life.
This is how Vasilko was born.

Ode to family
Family is the 7 I. But there are four of us so far, which means we have room to grow!
My family is my beloved wife Dina, eldest son Arsen, youngest son Tamerlan and I, the author of this story. We live in sunny Bashkortostan, in the glorious city of Salavat.
I decided to write about my family in poetry. Sometimes the words didn’t want to rhyme, but everything was written from the heart.
I always thought that we had an ordinary family. And when I wrote about children, about my wife, about family traditions, I realized that my family is the best!
I really wish that everyone could also say about their family that they are the best!
After all, no matter how banal it may sound, if there is harmony and peace, love and respect in the family, then this has a beneficial effect on the life and development of both the city and the country. In the Urals, in a glorious city, Although small, small*, But cozy and green, I will tell a story about
How I met with friends, And did not wait and did not guess, Brown-eyed Dinulya - A year later I called him my wife.
And now we are young: We are just over thirty, Many goals, many plans, Keep moving forward!
| Eight-year-old son Arsenchik, four-year-old Tamerlan - Dad's pride, mother's joy, Our children, balalar**! | |
| I work on the railway road - Train Compiler. Now I am in the day, now in the night - work, Hard work, without beating around the bush. | |
| Dina is a geographer in college, She gives knowledge - Where is Nigeria, Calcutta, And does the country provide grain. | |
| Arsik will become a hockey player, puck, stick, leggings. Training every day, he pumped up his muscles. | |
| Tamerlane is proud of his brother, Repeats everything after him, Teaches numbers, letters too, He knows that he is not alone! | |
| Don’t think that we are relatives : Cortanica and Neneika, Cortatics and Tataika***, Aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers - We live in friendship! And, by the way, we maintain our own Tree - we call it Shezhere****. | |
| How do we spend our time? We never get bored and at any time of the year we can easily find something to do. | |
| In the summer we go to Nugush***** - Well, so what, what’s nearby! Picturesque, wonderful view - what more do we need? Fresh air and water, And the beauty of the mountains, My native land, my land, We love your space! | |
| And winter is even nicer - Snow, snowdrifts, slides, Skis and skating rinks, Round dances, Christmas trees! | |
| And I’ll tell you a secret, I, my wife and eldest son were born in the January cold, in the cold, in the blizzard - as one! | |
| Well, if we are all at home, peace and comfort reign here: Mom knits, dad is a carpenter, the sons don’t lag behind. | |
| We go to the museum with the whole family, walk around the exhibition and admire the landscape that is presented to our eyes. And portraits, still lifes, paintings make you admire and transform your soul! Bowling, circus, cinema, cafe - you can meet us everywhere! | |
| If clouds gather above the family hearth, my beloved and I will open our arms! | |
| But, friends, this is my dream - I want to build a house! So that this house is strong and durable, and cozy, | |
| So that children's laughter flows in him, Talking about only one thing: That we are happy, we are together, We are not afraid of storms and thunderstorms, And a song flows from the heart, And in the soul there is a country of roses! | |
* the city of Salavat is the third city in the Republic of Bashkortostan in terms of population and industrial production; ** “balalar” (Tat.) “children”; *** “cortanika, neneika, cortatica, tataika” - different addresses to grandparents among the Bashkirs and Tatars; **** “shezhere” (bash.) – pedigree; ***** Nugush is an artificial reservoir in the south of Bashkortostan, located on the territory of the Bashkortostan National Park.

Thank you very much for your kind words! In fact, we are an ordinary family and we believe that the main thing in a family is peace and understanding. There are “storms” in our family too, but they help you understand what’s in your soul. Therefore, we believe that we need to just talk more often as a family - about everything. We wish those who are looking to find their happiness, and those who have found it to take care of it. Goodness, happiness, joy and health to your children, husbands, wives and loved ones!!!!!

Yurko - Timurovite
Vasily Sukhomlinsky
Third-grader Yurko became a Timurovite. Even the commander of a small Timurov detachment. There are nine boys in his squad. They help two grandmothers who live on the outskirts of the village. They planted apple trees and roses near their huts and watered them. They bring water, go to the store for bread.
Today is a rainy autumn day. Yurko and the boys went to chop wood for their grandmother. I came home tired and angry.
He took off his shoes and hung up his coat. Both boots and coat are covered in mud.
Yurko sat down at the table. Mom serves him lunch, and grandmother washes his shoes and cleans his coat.
