From my mother's bedroom, bow-legged and lame. Chukovsky K.I.’s poem “Moidodyr”

Tell me: Why Moidodyr??? It’s an unusual name, isn’t it? For example, I’ve always wondered: where did such a strange name come from? Why Moidodyr? Surprising and unusual. 🙂

And there was some kind of attractive mystery in this name, and in the fairy tale in general. And that’s why the fairy tale became even more exciting and interesting. Remember? I remember... :)

Perhaps this is also why I still enjoy reading the fairy tale by Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky to my daughter. I hope that your little one will read it with the same pleasure. Well, or don’t read, just listen. Only in your performance :)

Moreover, our fairy tale Moidodyr is illustrated with such amazing pictures. I think many of us remember these wonderful illustrations for the fairy tale from childhood.

As in many other books, such as or, they are simply inimitable! 🙂

K.I. Chukovsky

Blanket
Ran away
The sheet flew away
And a pillow
Like a frog
She galloped away from me.
I'm for a candle
The candle goes to the stove!


I'm for a book
Ta - run
And skipping
Under the bed!
I want to drink tea
I run to the samovar,
But pot-bellied from me
He ran away as if from fire.


God, God,
What's happened?
Why
Everything is all around
It started spinning
Dizzy
And the wheel went off?


Irons behind boots,
Boots for pies,
Pies behind the irons,
The poker behind the sash -
Everything is spinning
And it's spinning
And it goes head over heels.

Suddenly from my mother’s bedroom,
Bowlegged and lame,
The washbasin runs out
and shakes his head:

"Oh you ugly one, oh you dirty one,
Unwashed pig!
You're blacker than a chimney sweep
Admire yourself:

There's polish on your neck,
There's a blot under your nose,
You have such hands
That even the trousers ran away,
Even pants, even pants
They ran away from you.


Early in the morning at dawn
Little mice wash themselves
And kittens and ducklings,
And bugs and spiders.


You weren't the only one who didn't wash your face
And I remained dirty
And ran away from the dirty
And stockings and shoes.

I am the Great Laver,
The famous Moidodyr,
Umybasnikov Head
And washcloths Commander!
If I stamp my foot,
I'll call my soldiers
There's a crowd in this room
The washbasins will fly in,
And they will bark and howl,
And their feet will knock,
And a headache for you,
To the unwashed, they will give -
Straight to the Moika
Straight to Moika
They’ll plunge headlong into it!”

He hit the copper basin
And he cried out: “Kara-baras!”
And now brushes, brushes
They crackled like rattles,
And let's rub me
Sentence:
"My, my chimney sweep
Clean, clean, clean, clean!
There will be, there will be a chimney sweep
Clean, clean, clean, clean!”


Here the soap jumped
And grabbed my hair,
And it fussed and fussed,
And it stung like a wasp.


And from a mad washcloth
I ran as if from a stick,
And she's behind me, behind me
Along Sadovaya, along Sennaya.
I'm going to the Tauride Garden,
Jumped over the fence
And she's chasing after me
And bites like a wolf.

Suddenly, my good one comes towards me,
My favorite Crocodile.
He is with Totosha and Kokosha
Walked along the alley
And a washcloth, like a jackdaw,
Like a jackdaw, he swallowed it.
And then how he growls
On me
How his feet pound
On me:
“Go home now,
Speaks,
Wash your face,
Speaks,
And not how I’ll fly,
Speaks,
I’ll trample and swallow!”
Speaks.

How I started running down the street,
I ran to the washbasin again.
Soap, soap
Soap, soap
I washed myself endlessly
Wash off the wax too
And ink
From an unwashed face.


And now trousers, trousers
So they jumped into my arms.
And behind them is a pie:
“Come on, eat me, buddy!”


And behind it comes a sandwich:
He jumped up and straight into his mouth!
So the book came back,
The notebook turned
And the grammar started
Dancing with arithmetic.


Here is the Great Washbasin,
The famous Moidodyr,
Umybasnikov Head
And washcloths Commander,
He ran up to me, dancing,
And, kissing, he said:
“Now I love you,
Now I praise you!
Finally you, dirty little thing,
Moidodyr was pleased!”

I need to wash my face
In the mornings and evenings,
And to the unclean Chimney Sweeps -
Shame and disgrace! Shame and disgrace!

Long live scented soap,
And a fluffy towel,
And tooth powder
And a thick comb!


Swim, dive, tumble
In the tub, in the trough, in the tub,
In the river, in the stream, in the ocean, -
And in the bath, and in the bathhouse,
Always and everywhere -
Eternal glory to the water!

And here's something else I thought. Are such Moidodyry washbasins sold today? For example, can you buy it in the online bathroom furniture store Vanna-vanna.ru? 🙂

    And now trousers, trousers
    So they jumped into my arms.

    And behind them is a pie:
    “Come on, eat me, buddy!”
    And behind it comes a sandwich:
    He jumped up and straight into his mouth!

    So the book came back,
    The notebook turned
    And the grammar started
    Dancing with arithmetic.
    Here is the Great Washbasin,
    The famous Moidodyr,
    Umybasnikov Head
    And washcloths Commander,
    He ran up to me, dancing,
    And, kissing, he said:

    “Now I love you,
    Now I praise you!
    Finally you, dirty little thing,
    Moidodyr was pleased!”
    I need to wash my face
    In the mornings and evenings,
    And unclean
    Chimney sweeps -
    Shame and disgrace!
    Shame and disgrace!
    Long live scented soap,
    And a fluffy towel,
    And tooth powder
    And a thick comb!
    Let's wash, splash,
    Swim, dive, tumble
    In the tub, in the trough, in the tub,
    In the river, in the stream, in the ocean, -
    And in the bath, and in the bathhouse,
    Always and everywhere -
    Eternal glory to the water!
