Read a summary, a short retelling of the tale "The Extraordinary Adventures of Karik and Vali" by chapters:
Chapter 1.
It was lunch time, but Karik and Vali were still missing.
My grandmother began to recall various unpleasant experiences with the neighbors' children. As one boy hung on the pipe of the fifth floor, jumping with an umbrella, and the second nearly drowned, testing the submarine.
Mom started to worry. She even asked Anuta's cat for advice, but he was frightened by the neighbor's dog Jack. Photographer Schmidt suggested looking for children with Jack's help, and the dog led him to a drainpipe, and then suddenly dragged him to the fourth floor of the house to the door of Professor Enotov.
Jack burst into the professor's apartment and turned everything over there. The professor and Schmidt did not understand what was happening, but Jack found the children's sandals and their panties. Then he howled out the window.
Schmidt assumed that the children had flown away, and the professor suddenly turned pale and began to examine the table and the floor through a magnifying glass.
Schmidt got scared and ran away. And in the evening the police saw a note on the professor's door "Don't look for me. It's useless." Professor Raccoons disappeared.
Chapter 2.
The day before, Karik stayed up late at Ivan Germogenovich's, watching him conjure with liquid. And so the professor announced the victory, the diminishing fluid was created. But it was too late and he kicked the boy out, allowing him to come tomorrow with Valya for the experiment.
In the morning Karik and Valya rushed to the professor a little light. The professor was not at home, but the door was open. The children began to wait for Enotov, looking at everything that was in the apartment. Valya felt thirsty and drank some of the pink liquid with bubbles, deciding that it was lemonade. The liquid was very tasty and Valya persuaded Karik to drink a little.
Then they sat down on the windowsill and looked at the cat Anyuta, who was walking downstairs. Then a dragonfly flew in and sat between them.
And suddenly everything began to increase, and the children began to decrease. Sandals and panties fell off them, they found themselves on the edge of a huge abyss, and next to them lay a huge terrible animal.
Karik quickly realized what had happened and what they had drunk.
At that time, a mountain-man, Professor Raccoons, entered the room, not noticing the children, he raised a heap of dust and in this dust a dragonfly, as well as children, flew from the windowsill.
Chapter 3.
Karik and Valya held tight to the dragonfly and flew. They even bent down so that they would not be thrown off by the air stream.
And the dragonfly began to hunt. She confidently caught flies and butterflies and quickly ate them. And she could not get enough of it.
Finally, the guys were so tired that there was no strength whatsoever to hold on to the dragonfly. They slid and flew down into a large blue lake.
The guys successfully fell into the water and swam to the shore, which seemed to be overgrown with a dense high forest.
Suddenly a water strider spider appeared and aimed its blood-covered trunk at Valya. But Karik pulled his sister under the water. The water strider swam away.
Suddenly Valya got entangled in some kind of net and Karik swam to her to help. He dived and something suddenly squeezed him hard. And when he came to, he saw Valya next to him. The children found themselves in a cave filled with air. And they saw the owner of the cave - a huge spider. The spider grabbed them with a black paw and began to twist and twirl in different directions.
Chapter 4.
Ivan Germogenovich stood at the top of the hill and looked at the pond. He stuck a pole into the ground and drank decisively from the yellow bottle. Then he threw the bottle into the pond and stepped forward. And then he disappeared.
Professor Raccoons shrank and found himself in a forest of grass. He went to the pond and witnessed the fight between the spider and the wasp, which got caught in the cobweb. The wasp scared off the spider with a sting, and the spider began to envelop the wasp in cobwebs. And so the wasp, together with the cobweb, fell off and rolled into the ravine.
The professor was very happy. With great difficulty, he pushed a stone into the ravine, which crushed the wasp. Then he went down and pulled out the sting. It was a great weapon.
For them, the professor cut the cobwebs on the wasp and weaved clothes from them for himself.
Then the professor went to the pond, marveling at the huge grasshoppers and caterpillars, admiring and hardly recognizing the clover and bells.
He had already reached the edge of the forest, when he suddenly fell into a tunnel.
It was a cold and damp hole.
Leaning on the sting, the professor tried to get out, but at the very top he came across a dung beetle.
The beetle rolled a huge ball and blocked the exit from the tunnel with it.
Meanwhile, from the darkness of the tunnel, someone was sneaking up on Enotov.
Chapter 5.
Karik came to himself all tied with cobwebs. Valya was lying nearby. The boy tried to cheer up his sister.
The children saw the spider again, but he himself was afraid of something. Suddenly another spider of the same kind entered the cave. The spider began to fight to the death.
The children managed to shed the cobwebs little by little and were now watching the battle of the spiders. But both spiders froze motionless.
Karik counted down to a hundred, but the spiders did not come to their senses and the boy realized that they were dead. All that remained was to get out of the cave. There was only one way out to jump into the water, but cobwebs floated around. The children began to lack air.
And then Karik noticed the seeds of water paint, plants whose buds break off the bottom and quickly float to the surface. This was the only chance and the children jumped. Together with the seeds, they floated to the surface.
Chapter 6.
The children sat down on the water-stain kidney and began to row. Gradually they began to succeed and they swam. Somewhere nearby, a frog croaked loudly, but Karik reassured Valya - they were too small for the frog to notice them.
Then the children saw dolomed spiders, which also began to fight, and then the spiders jumped onto the back of the survivor.
The guys began to dream about food, but they had to endure. The shore was approaching every minute. But what is it? A real battle was in full swing near the shore, some creatures were hunting each other and the water was swarming with them.
The children sailed on and soon saw the sun-drenched stone shore. It turned out to be sand, which was so hot under the sun's rays that it was impossible to stand on it.
And again the children swam and swam until they found a swampy earthen shore.
They rushed into the forest, dreaming of finding some food as soon as possible. A small river appeared ahead and Valya finally saw the berries. They hung high, but they were alluringly huge.
Children boldly climbed up the trunks. But when they got to the berries, their eyes darkened and they fell into the water, the river carried them straight to the waterfall.
Chapter 7.
Ivan Germogenovich saw a terrible monster in front of him, in which he recognized a bear. He realized that he had to run. He found a narrow passage and ran along it, sometimes squatting. But the bear stubbornly caught up with him. And now the professor was pressed against the wall. He pounced on the bear, striking her many blows with a spear, and she trembled, not expecting such pressure. But then the spear began to fall into the chitinous shell and became useless.
There seemed to be no escape. But suddenly a pod pierced the ground from above and the professor grabbed hold of it. He flew off the ground and fell into the grass. There was something green nearby. It was a female grasshopper who wanted to lay eggs, and the professor prevented it.
So the professor apologized and the grasshopper rode off.
The professor was surrounded by tall, bamboo-like stems. The professor saw a seed fall down and realized what was in front of him. He climbed up the sticky stem. At the top of his head he met a mayfly, but these were completely harmless creatures. And Ivan Germogenovich began to build a parachute from dandelion seeds.
Taking off on his parachute, the professor saw his pole and a pond. Then he was carried over the water and suddenly he noticed Karika and Valya floating on the river. The children held out with their last strength. The professor released his parachute and jumped into the water.
Chapter 8.
Ivan Germogenovich pulled the children ashore and they soon came to their senses. They were very happy to see the professor and told about their adventures. And the professor talked about his own and just wanted to give a fascinating lecture about spiders, when the children fell asleep. They slept for two hours, and when they woke up, they did not immediately remember everything. The professor told them that in order to become big again, they need to go to the flag mast, near which there is a cardboard box in which there is a magnifying powder. It will take a long time to go, but the professor urged not to be afraid and take everything as an exciting adventure.
And to begin with, he offered to dine with the milk of grass cows. The children, following the professor, climbed onto a leaf and saw a herd of huge animals - it was an ordinary aphid.
Milk rivers flowed around and the professor and the children had a good dinner. Then they decided to rest and the professor fell asleep.
Then Karik and Valya saw a huge red turtle crawling over them. They screamed and ran. But they ended up on the edge of the sheet.

Chapter 9.
The professor stopped the guys, saying that it was a harmless ladybug. But the guys did not really believe him, looking at how the ladybug deftly eats aphids. But the professor said that aphids are opposite a harmful insect that draws juices from plants and prevents them from growing.
Then the children and the professor went to the flag. At first they walked merrily and cheerfully, but the sun was shining mercilessly, and they were very thirsty. But there was no water. Travelers even stopped paying attention to the inhabitants of the grassy forest scurrying around. And suddenly a monster with a yellow stripe emerged from the ground.
The professor was delighted and said that it was a swimming beetle that was taking them to the water. And really soon water appeared ahead.
Everyone bought and got drunk, and then the professor climbed onto some twig and threw off blue cloths on top - forget-me-not petals. Of these, travelers made capes and umbrellas for themselves. The walk was not so hot.
But then the forest ended and the travelers went out into a sunny meadow. Many insects were floating around in the air, but the professor urged not to be afraid of them.
Then the travelers found a dairy ant farm and saw an anthill below. The ants scurried and dragged their eggs, and the professor said it was going to rain soon.
Suddenly there was a terrible noise. Everyone turned pale. And then huge hordes of red ants appeared. The red ants attacked the anthill and soon began to plunder it.
Upon learning that the red ants are taking away cocoons to make slaves out of them, Karik and Valya became indignant. They started throwing stones at the ants and they rushed at the children.
The professor realized that he had to save himself. He dragged the children along, making loops, because the ants have poor eyesight.
But the ants did not lag behind and perhaps everything would have ended sadly, but then the fugitives met a river. They swam to the other side, and the ants abandoned their pursuit.
The travelers got to the other side and then it started raining. Ivan Germogenovich saw a strange structure with a hat and recognized it as a mushroom. The wet travelers hid under this mushroom. They found the leeward side of the mushroom, where the drops did not fall and where it was warm. And the Professor told the children that they shouldn't have been angry with the red ants. After all, all ants are very useful for the forest.
Then some white worms began to crawl from the mushroom and the professor said that these were the larvae of the mushroom gnat, the very ones that make the mushroom wormy. Then a slug crawled along the trunk.
And then water gushed around - from the downpour, the river overflowed its banks. It seemed there was no escape, but Karik saw a piece of mushroom skin and offered to climb on it. The professor beamed, the water should not have risen there.
The guys stood on the professor's shoulders and climbed onto the skin. But the professor himself could not get in and floated below, wet and freezing. The water rose to his shoulders and Ivan Germogenovich decided that the children would have to find their way home alone. He prepared to die.
Chapter 10.
But the rain suddenly stopped. The water was asleep. The professor was saved.
Karik climbed a blade of grass and saw a lighthouse. The travelers headed west. Night was approaching and it was necessary to find a place to sleep, because at night the most dangerous insects went hunting.
Soon it was completely dark and the travelers called out to each other so as not to lose each other. And then Valya stumbled upon a cave in the stones, she called the others. Karik came running first and climbed into the cave. But two black mustaches protruded from there.
Then the professor came, said that he knew the owner of the cave and drove him out with a thin, sharp spear. It turned out to be a caddisfly, clumsy on land, but very dangerous in water.
The professor and the children settled down perfectly in the caddisfly cave, closed up the second exit, strengthened the main one, and having dreamed of home and parents, fell asleep.
It rained again during the night, but no one heard it.
Chapter 11.
In the morning Karik woke up from the cold and began to wake Valya. But the girl wanted to sleep some more. But then Ivan Germogenovich called them to eat scrambled eggs and the children immediately forgot about the dream. They ran out of the cave and were dumbfounded. Small water bubbles rose all around. It was fog.
Ivan Germogenovich was already fried eggs on the fire, and soon the children were full of food.
It turned out that in the morning the professor found two flints and struck a spark. The bonfire successfully ignited above the accumulation of methane and therefore the fire burned without brushwood. And the professor found the egg in the robin's nest and with difficulty rolled it to the fire.
Then he almost drowned in the squirrel, but in the end it turned out to be an excellent meal.
Then the professor told the children that you can live with herbal robinsons, you can eat insects, because they are eaten in many countries of the world.
Then Enotov told how he understood where to look for the children. He remembered that he had seen a dragonfly on the windowsill, and realized that she could only take the children to a pond near Dubki. And this is almost 15 kilometers from home. Therefore, the professor went to Dubki.
But the time for talking passed, and the professor took out a leather bag for groceries. He made it from the sack of the tardigrade in which she keeps her eggs. Then the children and the professor wrapped themselves in cocoons like cocoons and went on in such suits.
By noon, they got out of the forest and saw a strange golden mountain. Travelers climbed to its top, but did not see the lighthouse anywhere. Suddenly the sand under their feet floated and they fell deep into the ground.
The professor looked around and said that they fell into a pastry shop. He pulled balls of pollen and honey from the wall and began to eat with pleasure. It turned out that the travelers fell into an earthen bee's nest.
After eating, they began to rise. The children lagged behind and Ivan Germogenovich turned to help them up, but suddenly in the blink of an eye he disappeared. Karik was shocked - he managed to notice the huge wings of a bird.
The children got out of the hole and began to call the professor. Suddenly, something rushed past Vali and Karik disappeared. She screamed "Karik!" and from somewhere from a height there was a faint response: "Valya!"
Chapter 12.
Valya was left alone. In tears, she made her way through the grass, but suddenly someone's tenacious claws grabbed her and carried her somewhere.
As Valya did not kick, she could not get free, and soon the bird threw her into some deep jug. And there - Ivan Germogenovich and Karik took Valya into their arms.
The travelers began to try to get out of the well into which they fell, but they constantly slipped along the walls. Then Ivan Germogenovich raised Karik in his arms and he was able to reach the edge and get out. Then Valya also got out, and then the professor made a rope from the web and got out on it himself.
They ended up on a pine branch and decided to descend using the cobwebs from their suit. The travelers descended first to the lower branch of the pine tree. We looked around and noticed our lighthouse, which became even further. Then they, like climbers, descended the bark of a pine tree, securing each other with ropes.
It turned out that pine bark is a whole huge world. Caterpillars crawled here, riders rode on them, beetles scurried past.
The professor looked at all this variety of insects and was thrown off by some insect. It's good that he stayed on the bark. It turned out to be another wasp, laying eggs in a pest larva under the bark.
The travelers went down for a long time and at one of the halts they saw their recent abductor. It turned out to be the Eumenes wasp, which again flew to its jug, threw its prey there and walled it up.
But then the travelers went down and walked forward all day. Finally they got tired and started looking for a place to sleep. The children chose an empty nut, and the professor settled in a snail shell.
At night the wind blew and the nut was thrown into the water of the river, he swam, taking the children away from the professor.

Chapter one

Unpleasant conversation with grandmother. Mom is worried. Jack is in hot pursuit. A strange find in Professor Enotov's office. The mysterious disappearance of Ivan Germogenovich

At that hour, when my mother covered the table with a white tablecloth, and my grandmother was cutting bread for dinner, these very strange, amazing, incredible events happened. It was at this time that Karik and Valya were already flying high above the city into an unknown world, where their extraordinary adventures awaited.

- Here's dinner, - said the grandmother grumpily, - and the guys are chasing dogs somewhere. And where are they - I don’t know! .. They never come on time ... Before, when I was little ...

“Ah,” Mom said, “they didn't even have breakfast. Hungry, probably like wolves.

She went to the open window, lay down on the windowsill.

- Kari-i-i-hik! Wa-a-a-ala-me! - shouted mom. - Go to dinner!

- Well, of course, - grumbled the grandmother, - so they are in a hurry. They don't have time for dinner now. You call them to dinner, and they may be playing long jumps. They may not need dinner, but an ambulance.

- What other long jumps? And why would they need an ambulance?

“But you never know what can happen to naughty children,” said the grandmother.

She took a ball of wool, pulled knitting needles and a long, loose-fitting woolen stocking from the pocket of her apron. The knitting needles were wound in her hands, drawing a thick woolen thread from the ball.

- Do you know Valerik? - asked the grandmother.

- What Valerik?

- Yes, he is the only one in our yard ... a spoiled man. The son of the management. After all, what did he think ... He took out a large umbrella somewhere, made a parachute out of it and leapt from the balcony of the fifth floor, like an airborne paratrooper.

- So what?

- Nothing special. I caught my pants on the pipe and hung upside down. Hanging and yelling. They called, of course, an ambulance. The doctor looked and ran to call the fire brigade. It must have been hanging for half an hour ... Well, they took it off, of course. And he's all blue. Breathing hard. The doctor gave him a massage and an injection, but he should have been treated with a strap so that he would not indulge in more. That's how mischievous they are now ... When I was little ...

- Ah, - said my mother, - Karik and Valya will not jump with an umbrella. We don't even have an umbrella.

- Well, you know, guys can come up with something worse than an umbrella. Over there, in a neighboring yard, a scoundrel invented a submarine. He knocked it out of the barrel and sank into a pit of water. It's good that the janitor noticed the dive. Barely pumped out the mischievous man. And then recently, three more space rocket launched. One got his teeth knocked out, and the other two ...

“No, no,” Mom waved her hands. - Do not! And I don't want to listen ... Well, why are you really scaring me.

And she again went to the window and shouted again:

- Karik! Valya! Go to dinner!

- When I was little ... - the grandmother began.

Mom waved it off impatiently.

- Yes, you have already talked about this many times. They didn't tell you where they were going to go?

Grandmother chewed her lips angrily.

“When I was little,” she said, “I always said where I was going. And now such children grow up, they do what they want ... They want to go to the North Pole, or even to the South Pole ... Or, for example, they recently broadcast on the radio ...

- What, what were you passing on? Mom asked hastily.

- And nothing! Some boy has drowned! And then they passed it on.

Mom shuddered.

“Well,” she said, “this… this is nonsense! Karik and Valya won't go swimming!

“I don’t know, I don’t know,” the grandmother shook her head, “whether they bathe or not, I won’t say, but it’s time to have dinner, but they’re all gone and gone. Where are they?

Mom ran her hand over her face. Without a word, she quickly left the dining room.

- When I was little ... - Grandma sighed.

But what my grandmother did when she was little, my mother did not know: she was already standing in the middle of the yard and, squinting her eyes from the sun, looked around. In the middle of the yard, on a yellow sand hill, lay Vali's green scoop, and Karik's faded skullcap lay next to it. And right there, stretching out all four paws, the fat red cat Anyuta was basking in the sun. He blinked lazily and stretched out his paws as if he wanted to give them to mom.

- Where are they, Anyuta?

The cat yawned sweetly, looked at mom with one eye and rolled over lazily onto its back.

- Well, where, where did they go? Mom muttered.

She walked around the courtyard, looked into the laundry room, and even looked into the dark windows of the basement where the wood was lying.

The guys were nowhere to be found.

- Ka-ari-ik! Mom shouted again.

Nobody responded.

- Wa-a-ala! - shouted mom.

"Av-av-woof-woof-gau-u!" - howled somewhere very close.

At the side entrance, a door slammed hard. A large, sharp-muzzled shepherd dog jumped out into the yard, dragging the thundering chain behind it. Fat cat Anyuta flew into the woodpile in one leap. "Shhh! He hissed, raising his paw. - Prosh-sh-shu not sh-sh-shu-be able to! "

The dog barked angrily at Anyuta, flew up the hill with acceleration and began to roll on the sand, raising thick columns of dust, then jumped up, shook himself off and rushed at his mother with a loud bark.

Mom jumped to the side.

- Back! It is forbidden! Go away! - she waved her hands.

- Jack! Tubo! To the leg! - came a loud voice from the entrance.

A fat man in sandals on his bare feet came out into the yard, waddling over, with a smoking cigarette in his hand. It was the tenant of the fourth floor - the photographer Schmidt.

- What are you, Jack? A? The fat man asked sternly and shook his fat finger. Jack wagged his tail guiltily. - What a fool! - the photographer laughed.

Feigning a yawn, Jack went up to the owner, sat down and, clinking with a chain, carefully scratched his neck with his hind paw.

- Good weather today, - the fat man smiled affably, addressing his mother. - You are not going to the dacha? It's time now - to collect fungi, fish.

Mom looked at the fat man, at the dog and said with displeasure:

- Again you let her out, comrade Schmidt, without a muzzle. After all, she's a real wolf. So he looks, how to snatch someone.

- Are you talking about Jack? - the fat man was surprised. - Well, what are you! My Jack will not touch the child. He's as meek as a dove. Want to pet him?

Mom waved her hand.

- Well, all I have to do is petting dogs. At home, dinner is getting cold, the rooms are not tidied up, and here I still can't get through to the guys ... And I don't understand where they disappeared. Ka-a-arik! Wa-a-ala! She screamed again.

- And you caress Jack, ask him well. Tell him: "Come on, Jack, find Karik and Valya as soon as possible." He will find them instantly.

Schmidt bent down to the dog and patted it on the neck.

- Will you find it, Jack?

Jack yelped softly and, suddenly jumping up, licked the photographer on the lips. The fat man staggered back, spat in disgust, and wiped his lips with his sleeve. Mom laughed.

“You’re laughing in vain,” Schmidt said. He seems very offended. - My Jack is a great bloodhound. Give him a sniff of something Karik or Vali, and he will find them wherever they are. This is an award-winning bloodhound. He follows in the footsteps of a man, like a steam locomotive on rails. Give him something: a children's toy, a shirt, a skullcap - and you yourself will see what a wonderful tracker he is.

Plot

The guys are on friendly terms with their neighbor in the country, the famous professor. One day, when they came to his laboratory, the children mistakenly drank an elixir that made them as small as elves. And on a dragonfly, they flew away to the nearest meadow, which now seemed as huge as the mainland for tiny children.

The professor, having discovered a mistake, also drank the elixir and rushed to the rescue of his little friends. In the dense grass there were various insects, caterpillars, grasshoppers - they all seemed to the little people to be huge monsters.

They have to constantly fight for their lives, solve many problems, get food for themselves, in order to finally get to the professor's laboratory and become normal people again.

Conclusion (my opinion): in these difficult tests, both the guys and Professor Raccoons showed themselves worthy people, able to act in difficult situations without losing their heads. The book contains a lot of interesting and informative things about the life of insects.

Genre: fairy tale Main characters: Karik, Valya, professor

The plot in the fantastic story for children "The Extraordinary Adventures of Karik and Vali" takes place in the world of insects that inhabit rivers, fields, lakes, trees and forests. Author Ian Larry uses a style that combines adventure and fantasy, thereby popularizing the science of entomology, which began to develop in the 1930s. The story tells young readers about an amazing and mysterious miniature world in which insects live, where a fierce duel for self-survival unfolds.

Brother and sister Karik and Valya, the main characters of the story, live near a forest and a lake in an ordinary high-rise building. The famous experienced scientist-entomologist Ivan Enotov lives nearby. Once, when the guys were visiting the professor, they saw and drank without permission an amazing solution that the professor had invented. In just a couple of seconds, the children became a couple of millimeters tall. Karik and his sister Valya became very tiny little people, that even a fly and an ordinary dragonfly seemed to them a tremendous monster. On a dragonfly that flew into the professor's office, the brother and sister set off on an extraordinary journey into the fantastic world of nature, which is invisible to an ordinary person.

When the professor guessed everything by the method and understood everything, he immediately went to fetch the children. Approaching the lake, the professor set up an identification mark by sticking a long stick into the ground with a red flag on it. A box with an opening for the entrance was immediately left, it contained his inventions and augmenting powder.

The professor, who soon found the children, went through a lot of adventures together, some were very dangerous when they made their way to the secret box. They were bitten by huge mosquitoes, ants and spiders. The unfortunate wanderers ate aphids' milk, and rode on caterpillars as on horses.

Thanks to the knowledge of Professor Enotov, everything ended well and the guys with the scientist again became normal people, and Karik and Valya began to study the life of plants and insects with pleasure. After all, learning is light, if the professor had not had the necessary knowledge, the grief travelers might not have returned to the world of ordinary people.
