About the author.
V. Medvedev's story appeared more than 40 years ago (1961). But among those on whom its publication depended, a dispute arose: to publish the story about Barankina or return it to the author.
Many people were confused by this non-fairy tale, true story. Ordinary obstinate guys, inveterate losers, without the intervention of any wizards, with the help of simple spells invented by themselves, turn into... sparrows, then into... butterflies, and then into... ants.

Fortunately, the book was published and has become a favorite of children for several generations.
The book went through a number of editions; it has been translated into more than 20 languages. A cartoon was filmed, and even an operetta appeared.
Years passed, and the author decided to continue the adventures of Barankin. The second part appeared, entitled “The Super-Adventures of a Super-Cosmonaut.”
Both stories by Valery Medvedev are full of humor and fantasy.

Literary carousel
Let us also call on our imagination to the rescue and take a ride on the literary carousel.
Elephants, horses, camels, monkeys are waiting for their children friends. But our fabulous literary carousel has its own characters. Who will ride what will be determined by lot:
- who is on butterflies,
- who is on the sparrows,
- who is on the ants.

Good luck, our literary carousel!
Each team takes turns answering questions.

Everything's upside down

Once upon a time there lived a crow named Alice. The world has never seen a lazier crow. Sometimes she fell asleep on the fly, and had the most outlandish dreams.

One day she fell asleep so soundly that she flew head over heels, and while she was flying she had a dream - a head over heels dream...

Murr the cat loved to catch mice. She saw two mice in the laundry basket and slowly crept up to them.

Look, there's a cat! - said one mouse to the other. - Now we will catch her!

Murr was surprised. "What nonsense! Do mice hunt cats?" she thought.

But when the mice chased her, she ran away in surprise without looking back.

“Well, life, everything is going topsy-turvy!” - Murr thought.

Then she came across a huge dog, Woof. Woof growled angrily at Murr.

Murr was ready to run away and hide in a tree, but suddenly she thought: “If everything in this world is going wrong, Woof himself will run away from me.”

And Murr rushed at Gav, and Gav, of course, ran away.

“Miracles are happening in this world!” thought Murr. “Cats hunt dogs, mice hunt cats. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life!”

Then she looked down the road and saw a milkman, a cart and a horse.

The cart was pulled by the milkman, and the horse sat on the cart and urged him on: “Nn-oo!” The milkman had to hurry.

Then Murr met two children with their parents. Children reprimanded their parents:

Oh, you mischievous people! When we get home, we’ll go straight to bed, without dinner!

Oooh, we won't do it anymore! - the parents whined.

It was already dark, but instead of the moon and stars the sun was shining in the sky.

“It’s night now,” thought Murr. “And at night the stars and the moon shine, what does the sun have to do with it?”

Come on, go away! - she said to the sun.

I won’t leave, said the sun. - In that world everything is going wrong, and I will shine at night. Then during the day I will have time to play.

Then she accidentally raised her head and saw Alice flying somersaults upside down.

Hey Alice! Wake up! - she shouted.

Alice woke up, turned over and flew on as if nothing had happened. And then the sun set, the moon and stars shone, the milkman’s horse pulled the cart itself, Gav chased Murr, and Murr chased the mice until they hid again in the laundry basket. Murr was very hungry and hurried to the kitchen to feast on fish and milk.

And lazy Alice returned to her nest at the very top of the tree, made herself comfortable and fell asleep.

Carr! - she said, falling asleep. - What a funny dream it was!
