Two girls were walking home with mushrooms.
They had to cross the railway.
They thought the car was far away, climbed onto the embankment and walked across the rails.
Suddenly a car made noise. The older girl ran back, and the younger girl ran across the road.
The older girl shouted to her sister:
- Don't go back!
But the car was so close and made such a loud noise that the smaller girl did not hear; she thought that she was being told to run back. She ran back across the rails, tripped, dropped the mushrooms and began to pick them up.
The car was already close, and the driver whistled as hard as he could.
The older girl shouted:
- Throw the mushrooms!
And the little girl thought that she was being told to pick mushrooms, and crawled along the road.
The driver could not hold the cars. She whistled as hard as she could and ran into the girl.
The older girl screamed and cried. All the passengers looked from the windows of the car, and the conductor ran to the end of the train to see what had happened to the girl.
When the train passed, everyone saw that the girl was lying head down between the rails and not moving.
Then, when the train had already moved far, the girl raised her head, jumped on her knees, picked mushrooms and ran to her sister.

The main characters of Tolstoy's story “The Girl and the Mushrooms” are two girls who returned from the forest with mushrooms. On the way they had to cross the railway. When the girls had already climbed the embankment, the noise of a moving train was heard.

The girl, who was older, immediately returned back. And a younger girl ran across the rails and ended up on the other side of the embankment. Then the older girl began to shout to the younger one so that she should not go back. But the youngest decided that she was being called back, and she began to return. Climbing over the rails, the girl scattered mushrooms. The older girl shouted to throw the mushrooms, but because of the noise of the approaching train, the younger girl did not hear her and decided that she was being told to collect the scattered mushrooms.

The driver whistled with all his might, but the girl remained on the rails. When the train passed and people ran to see what had happened to the girl, they saw that she was lying face down between the rails. Then the lying girl jumped up, quickly picked mushrooms and ran to her friend.

This is the summary of the story.

The main idea of ​​Tolstoy’s story “The Girl and the Mushrooms” is that in a moment of danger one should not give in to panic, one must carefully think through one’s actions and formulate instructions correctly. Both girls were already out of danger when the train approached. One of them ran forward, the other returned back. However, the older one began to worry about the younger one, and through the embankment began to give her instructions. The younger one misunderstood them and ran back, although the train was already close. If the eldest girl had remained silent, the dangerous situation could have been avoided.

The story “The Girl and the Mushrooms” teaches you how to set priorities correctly. The younger girl began collecting scattered mushrooms right in front of the moving train, putting her life at risk. But human life is much more valuable than mushrooms, and the girl should not have worried about scattered mushrooms.

I liked the youngest girl in Tolstoy's story. Although she did the wrong thing, putting her life at risk, the girl managed to make the right decision in an extreme situation - she lay face down on the rails and waited for the train to pass.

What proverbs fit the story “The Girl and the Mushrooms”?

Caution is the mother of wisdom.
Time and chance give reason.
Caution never hurts.
Don't classify panic as a friend.

  The second Russian book for reading opens with another true story: “The Girl and the Mushrooms.” In this story, a little girl was hit by a train but survived because the train passed over her. The once four-year-old author of these lines was smart enough to consult with his parents before repeating such a tempting experiment. However, not everyone was as lucky as me, some whose train turned out to be faster than their parents. And when the first young readers died on the rails, Leo Tolstoy did not throw himself under the wheels after them, did not commit suicide in any other way, he did not even forbid reprinting the story, dooming more and more children to death. “Vengeance is mine and I will repay it,” is suitable for an epigraph, but Tolstoy did not want to apply it to himself. Perhaps the list of Tolstoy's victims is growing to this day. How can one not recall Dostoevsky and his phrase about a single tear of a child? (With)
