Read Uncle Styopa's poem
In the house there are eight fraction one
At the Ilyich outpost
There lived a tall citizen
Nicknamed Kalancha,
By surname Stepanov
And named Stepan,
From the regional giants
The most important giant.
Respected Uncle Styopa
For such a height.
Uncle Styopa was coming home from work -
It was visible a mile away.
Dashingly measured their steps
Two huge legs:
Size forty five
He bought boots.
He was looking for in the market
Greatest boots
He was looking for his pants
Unprecedented width.
Will buy with grief in half,
Turns to the mirrors -
All tailoring work
It's coming apart at the seams!
He's through any fence
From the pavement I looked into the courtyard.
The dogs started barking:
They thought that a thief was breaking in.
Uncle Styopa took it from the dining room
Double lunch for yourself.
Uncle Styopa went to bed -
He put his feet on a stool.
While sitting, he took books from the cabinet.
And more than once he goes to the cinema
They said: - Sit on the floor
You, comrade, don’t care!
But to the stadium
It was free:
They let Uncle Styopa through -
They thought he was a champion.
From gate to gate
All the people in the area knew
Where does Stepanov work?
Where is it registered?
How does he live?
Because everyone is faster
Without special efforts
He filmed the kite for the guys
From telegraph wires.
And the one who is small in stature,
At the parade he raised
Because everyone should
See the country's army.
Everyone loved Uncle Styopa,
Respected Uncle Styopa:
He was the best friend
All the guys from all the yards.
He is in a hurry home from Arbat.
He sneezes - the guys in unison:
- Uncle Styopa, be healthy!
Uncle Styopa early in the morning
He quickly jumped up from the sofa,
The windows were opened wide,
I took a cold shower.
Uncle Styopa brushing teeth
I never forgot.
A man sits in the saddle
Legs dragging along the ground -
This is Uncle Styopa coming
Along the boulevard on a donkey.
“You,” people shout to Stepan, “
You need to ride a camel!
He rode on a camel -
People are choking with laughter:
- Hey, comrade, where are you from?
You will crush the camel!
To you, at your height,
You need to ride an elephant!
Uncle Styopa two minutes
It remains until the jump.
He's standing under a parachute
And he's a little worried.
And below the people laugh:
The tower wants to jump from the tower!
To the shooting range, under a low canopy,
Uncle Styopa barely got in.
- Allow me to address,
I pay for the shots.
In this ball and in this bird
I want to take aim!
Looking around the shooting range with alarm,
The cashier says in response:
- You will have to kneel,
Dear comrade, stand up -
You can target
Without a gun, reach it with your hand!
Until the morning in the alleys of the park
It will be fun and bright
The music will thunder
The audience will be noisy.
Uncle Styopa asks for the cash register:
- I came to the carnival.
Give me this mask
So that no one finds out!
It's quite easy to recognize you -
There is a friendly laugh -
We recognize you by your height:
You, comrade, are above everyone!
What's happened?
What kind of scream?
- This is a student drowning!
He fell off a cliff into the river!
Help the man!
In front of all the people
Uncle Styopa climbs into the water.
This is extraordinary! -
Everyone shouts to him from the bridge. -
You, comrade, are knee-deep
All deep places!
Alive, healthy and unharmed
Boy Vasya Borodin.
Uncle Styopa this time
Saved a drowning man.
For a noble deed
Everyone thanks him.
Ask for anything -
They tell Uncle Styopa.
I don't need anything -
I saved him for nothing!
The locomotive is flying, humming,
The driver looks ahead.
Driver at the stop
Kochegaru says:
From station to station
I made a lot of flights,
But I’m ready to argue -
This is a new semaphore.
They drive up to the semaphore.
What kind of deception is this?
No semaphore -
Stepan is standing by the path.
He stands and says:
- Here the path is blurred by rains.
I deliberately raised my hand -
Show that the path is closed.
What's that smoke overhead?
What's that thunder on the pavement?
The house is burning around the corner
Hundreds of onlookers stand cool.
The team is putting up the ladders,
Saves the house from fire.
The whole attic is already on fire,
Pigeons are fighting in the window.
In the yard in a crowd of guys
They say to Uncle Styopa:
- Is it really together with the house?
Will our pigeons burn?
Uncle Styopa from the sidewalk
Reaches up to the attic.
Through the fire and smoke of the fire
His hand reaches out.
He opens the window.
They fly out of the window
Eighteen doves
And behind them is a sparrow.
Everyone is grateful to Stepan:
He saved the birds, and therefore
Become a firefighter immediately
Everyone advises him.
But in response to the firefighters
Stepanov says: - No!
I'm going to serve in the navy,
If I'm tall enough.
There is laughter and whispering in the corridor,
There is a buzz of speeches in the corridor.
Uncle Styopa is in the office
Being examined by doctors.
It costs.
Him bend over
The sister asks politely. -
We can't reach! -
Doctors explain. -
Everything from sight to hearing
We will investigate for you:
Does your ear hear well?
How far can the eye see?
Uncle Styopa was examined
Conducted to the scales
And they said: -
In this body
My heart beats like a clock!
The growth is great, but nothing -
Let's take him into the army!
But you are not fit to be a tank driver:
You won't fit in the tank!
And they are not fit for infantry:
You can be seen from the trench!
With your height on the plane
Inconvenient to be in flight:
Your legs will get tired -
You have nowhere to put them!
For people like you
There are no horses
And the navy needs you -
Serve for the country!
I am ready to serve the people, -
Stepin's bass is heard, -
I will go through fire and water!
Send it now!
Winter and summer have passed.
And winter came again.
- Uncle Styopa, how are you? Where are you? -
There is no answer for us from the sea,
No postcard, no letter...
And one day past the bridge
To the house eight fraction one
Uncle's height
A citizen is moving.
Who, comrades, do you know?
With this prominent sailor?
He's coming,
Snowflakes creak
Under his thumb.
Pleated uniform trousers,
He is wearing an overcoat under a belt.
Hands in woolen gloves,
The anchors shine on it.
Here the sailor approaches the house,
Unknown to all the guys.
And the guys here tell him: -
Who are you going to?
Uncle Styopa turned around,
Raised his hand to the visor
And he answered: “I’m back.”
They gave the sailor leave.
I didn't sleep that night. Tired from the road.
My feet are not used to dry conditions.
I'll rest. I'll put on my jacket.
I'll lie on the sofa
Come in after tea -
I'll tell you a hundred stories!
About the war and about the bombing,
About the big battleship "Marat",
How I was a little wounded,
Defending Leningrad.
And now the guys are proud -
Pioneers, October, -
That you know Uncle Styopa,
With a real sailor.
He is walking home from Arbat.
- How are you? - the guys shout.
And now the guys are calling
Uncle Styopa Mayak.

2. Uncle Styopa – policeman
Who doesn't know Uncle Styopa?
Everyone knows Uncle Styopa!
Everyone knows that Uncle Styopa
Was once a sailor.
That he once lived a long time ago
At the Ilyich outpost.
And what was his nickname:
Uncle Styopa - Kalancha.
And now among the giants,
Those that the whole country knows,
Stepan Stepanov is alive and well -
Former naval sergeant major.
He walks around the area
From yard to yard,
And again he’s wearing shoulder straps,
With a pistol holster.
He has a badge on his cap,
He's wearing an overcoat under a belt,
The country's coat of arms shines on the buckle -
The sun was reflected in it!
He's coming from the department
And some pioneer
His mouth opened in amazement:
“That’s how mi-li-tsi-o-ner!”
Uncle Styopa is respected
Everyone, from adults to children,
When they meet you, they see you off
And with a smile they say:
- Yes! People of this height
It’s not easy to meet easily!
Yes! Such a good guy
The new uniform suits you!
If he stands at his post,
Everyone will see it a mile away!
There is a traffic jam near the square -
The traffic light is broken:
The yellow light came on
But there is still no green...
A hundred cars are standing, honking -
They want to get moving.
Three, four, five minutes
They are not given passage.
Here to the ORUD employee
Uncle Styopa says:
- What, brother, is it bad?
The traffic light is not on!
- I, Stepanov, have no time for jokes!
What should I do, give me advice!
Stepan didn’t begin to reason -
I took out the traffic light with my hand,
Looked into the middle
Something turned up somewhere...
At the same moment
The right light came on.
Movement restored
There are no traffic jams!
The guys told us
What is Stepan from now on?
The kids in Moscow were nicknamed:
Uncle Styopa - Traffic light.
What's happened?
At the station
A boy of about five is crying.
He lost his mother in the hall.
How can I find her now?
Everyone is calling the police
And she’s right there!
Uncle Styopa slowly
Raises the baby
Lifts me above myself,
Above yourself and above the crowd
For high ceilings:
- Look around, son!
And the boy saw: straight,
At the pharmacy kiosk
Mom wipes away her tears,
- Mother! Mother! That's where I am! –
Uncle Styopa was pleased:
“The family has not broken up!”
A student was walking home from school -
A well-known mischief maker.
He wanted to quarrel
But I didn't know where to start.
Two girlfriends were walking home from school -
Talkers in white aprons.
There are books and notebooks in the bags,
But everything is fine in the notebooks.
Suddenly a mischievous man comes along,
In the backpack there is a diary with twos,
There is no emblem on the cap,
And the belt is already without a buckle.
The students didn't have time
Stay away from him -
He pushed them right into the dirt
Laughing at the braids.
No way did he offend them
In plain sight of passers-by,
And then I saw the tram -
Got hooked on the move.
I put my foot on the bandwagon,
Another one is waving in the air!
He didn’t know that Uncle Styopa
Sees everything from afar.
He didn’t know that Uncle Styopa
Will not forgive a mischievous person.
From the doors of the department store
Uncle Styopa - at that very moment
Took three huge steps
Straight across the square.
At the tram turn
He took the tomboy off the bandwagon:
– Answer: where do you live?
What is your father's last name?
With a guard of such height
It's not easy to argue.
There's crackling and thunder on the river -
Ice drift and icebreaker.
Rinse the old fashioned way
Grandma in the hole in the sheets.
The ice cracked - the river flowed,
And grandma swam.
Grandma groans and groans:
- Oh, my underwear will drown!
Oh! I'm in trouble!
Oh, save me! I'll be lost!
Uncle Styopa is on duty -
He's on duty at the bridge.
Uncle Styopa through the fog
Looks into the distance like a captain.
He sees an ice floe. And on the ice floe
The grandmother is crying on the basket.
You can’t describe what happened here!
Uncle Styopa - hands down,
Leaning over the railing,
Like hanging over an abyss.
He managed to grab
Frightened grandma
And the old woman - for the basket:
- I won’t throw away my underwear!
Uncle Styopa saved her
And the basket and the laundry.
The guys walked past the building
What's on Vosstanya Square,
Suddenly they look - Stepan is standing,
Their favorite giant!
Everyone froze in surprise:
- Uncle Styopa! It is you?
This is not your department
And not your area of Moscow!
Uncle Styopa saluted,
He smiled and winked:
- I received an honorary post! –
And now on the pavement,
Where the building is high-rise,
There is a high-altitude guard!
Like a stretched scarf
Smoothly filled skating rink.
Everyone in the stands stands up:
The speed skaters are given a start.
And they run in circles
And fans to each other
They say: - Look! Look!
The longest one is yet to come!
The longest one is ahead
Number "eight" on the chest!
There's one strict dad here
I asked my son:
- Probably these legs
The Spartak team?
Mom intervened in the conversation:
“Dynamo has these legs.”
It's a pity that our Spartak
There’s no way he’ll catch up with them!
At this time they announce:
The competition is over.
Congratulations to Uncle Styopa:
- Well, Stepanov! Well done!
Proud of Uncle Stepa
All capital police:
Styopa looks down from top to bottom,
Receives first prize.
To Uncle Styopa, as if on purpose,
I need to go on duty urgently.
Who would be able to along the way
Should I give the guard a lift?
One driver says,
Young car enthusiast:
- I can give you a lift to the police station.
I would consider it an honor
But, unfortunately,
You can't get into my Moskvich!
- Hey, Stepanov! I'll throw it in -
Then another driver called. –
Get into my car -
Into a multi-ton dump truck!
In the "Children's World" - store,
Where are the toys on display?
A bully appeared.
He knocked over the sled.
He took a carnation out of his pocket,
The drum got a hole.
The seller told him: - Pay! –
He answered: “I won’t pay!”
- Do you want to go to the department? –
Answers: “Yes, I want to!”
Only suddenly the hooligan
My heart skipped a beat:
In Stepan's bright mirror
He saw behind.
- Do you want to go to the department?
- What do you! What do you! Don't want!
- Pay the money to the cashier!
- How much do you need? I'll pay!
Guard Stepan Stepanov
He was a thunderstorm for hooligans.
One Sunday morning,
Styopa came out of the yard.
Stop! Don `t move!
There is no escape:
The kids stuck around.
Vitya looks at the authorities,
His nose wrinkles in embarrassment:
- Uncle Styopa! Sorry!
- What's happened?
- I have a question!
Why, having come from the Baltic Fleet,
Did you go to the police?
Are you really working
Haven't you found anything better than this?
Uncle Styopa frowns,
The left eye squints a little,
He says: “Well, friends!”
I will answer the question!
I'll tell you a secret,
That I serve in the police
Because this service
I find it very important!
Who with a rod and a pistol
On duty in winter and summer?
Our Soviet guard -
This is the same sentry!
It’s not for nothing that he avoids
Police post
And he's afraid of the police
One whose conscience is not clear.
Unfortunately, it happens
Why are they afraid of the police?
Naughty kids.
How can parents not be ashamed?
This is stupid and offensive!
And when I hear this
I'm blushing from ear to ear...
For second grade kids
More than an hour with Uncle Styopa
The conversation continued.
And goodbye guys
They shouted: “Goodbye!”
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Uncle Styopa - Traffic light!
3. Uncle Styopa and Egor
I, friends, will tell you right away:
This book is on order.
I arrived at kindergarten
I perform for the guys.
“Read “Uncle Styopa,” -
The chorus asks for the first row.
I read a book to the guys,
I didn’t have time to sit down,
The boy gets up:
“Does Styopa have children?”
What will I tell him in response?
It's hard to answer: no.
I am a poem about Uncle Styopa
Started many years ago
And nowhere about Uncle Styopa
Didn't say he was married.
That one day he fell in love
I chose one girl
And he married Manechka,
And he brought his wife home...
* * *
What happened in the maternity hospital
On this winter day in the morning!
This is who guests are introduced to
Sisters, nannies, doctors?
In a bright, sunny room,
Near mom, on the bed,
In front of other mothers,
An unprecedented child sleeps,
Not a baby, but a whole little one -
Full eight kilograms!
Whispers are heard throughout the chambers,
A loud conversation is heard:
– Born to Uncle Styopa
Son named Egor!
To the seventh department
To the elder dad
Sends congratulations
The entire police force of the country.
Telegrams arrive:
"What is this new Hercules?"
"Check the kilograms"
“Confirm your exact weight.”
Congratulations from the city of Gorky
October kids:
“Uncle Styopa and Yegorka
Our greetings from the bottom of our hearts."
Congratulations to Uncle Styopa
And Tashkent and Sevastopol,
Sends a gift to the baby
Combat Baltic Fleet.
Congratulations to the department
The postman is tired of carrying.
Uncle Styopa is excited
I even began to stutter.
* * *
A hero, not a child!
How not to believe in miracles?
Growing out of diapers
Not by days, but by hours.
Now he’s eating jelly from a spoon,
He says: “Aha, aha...”
Now he is back on his feet,
I took the first two steps.
Yegorka is already standing
At the blackboard with chalk in hand,
Here are the top five
In Yegorka’s diary...
By the hour he goes to bed,
Doesn't wait for instructions.
Even if you dream about something -
At seven in the morning Yegor gets up.
Whether it’s hot or cold, it doesn’t matter
He opens the window.
Charges quickly
Eats soft-boiled eggs for breakfast,
Five potato cutlets
Two glasses of curdled milk
And a plate of semolina porridge -
Porridge is also not harmful!
* * *
About Stepanov Egor
The rumor spread very quickly:
The boy is ten years old
But for a small child
Strong beyond his age,
Not a child, but an athlete!
Among thousands of kids
There are no such strong men.
A quarrel is brewing somewhere,
The argument turns into a fight -
There is no fight, no discord,
If Egor is nearby.
Although not his father’s height -
You won't offend the young man:
He puts it on two shoulder blades
In the school of the best wrestler -
Wrestling champion
From seventh grade "B".
Uncle Styopa is happy and proud,
That my son loves sports.
* * *
Once a Volga got stuck in the snow,
I skidded for a very long time,
I would still be skidding -
Don't notice her Egor.
The driver is driving obliquely
Looks with sadness at the wheels,
He mutters evil to himself:
“The trouble is, how skidded!”
Egorka came up from behind
And helped someone else's uncle:
I rested my foot on the fence,
I pushed once or twice...
Uncle was very surprised
I gave the signal and started rolling!
* * *
Shoes are sliding on the grass,
Eagles soar in the blue.
Stretched along the path
Tourist squad.
It’s a little difficult for everyone on the hike -
Everyone doesn't go easy,
And they don’t lie like fluff and cotton wool
In a pioneer backpack.
The mountain is moving uphill
All kinds of good -
This is our Egorka dragging
Two tents, two buckets
And firewood for the fire.
He loaded so much luggage
Neither in front nor behind
You don't recognize him.
What to do, once in the squad
There is no one stronger!
* * *
Day after day, year after year
Uncle's son is growing up.
Red-cheeked, broad-shouldered,
Walks in the first strongmen.
Chunky and muscular
A universally recognized weightlifter.
First day of the competition.
In the hall you can hear: “Attention!
“Middleweight” performs!”
Yegor comes out onto the platform,
People can't take their eyes off him
Show interest.
Not for the first time in this hall
World records are being broken -
And gold medals
Issued to masters.
This time a European record
Uncle Styopa's son beats:
Raises
Squeezes...
Three hundred and thirty kilograms!
From such great luck
Uncle Styopa is almost crying,
Whispers in his wife's ear:
- I, Marusya, like in a dream...
The champion was immediately given
Two gold medals.
The newspapers called:
They urgently require a portrait.
Two overseas reporters
They ask Egor politely
Answer the questions.
- How old are you?
- Twenty years.
– What is your main desire?
– Get an education.
– Who do you want to become?
- Fly between the stars!
The reporters smiled:
-Can you dream?
- Yes! - said Yegor. - I can.
I don’t dare deny myself!
This is what the whole country dreams of,
The whole family is ours...
Meet my dad -
Police sergeant!
The reporters bowed
They apologized in English
And, closing the tape recorder,
They quickly ran out.
* * *
The international port is open –
The port is air, not water.
New air terminal.
The hall is full of passengers.
Every minute
The ships are flying away -
One to Havana, one to Calcutta,
To the other end of the earth.
Like heavenly princesses
The flight attendants are running by.
Border Guard
At his posts:
Places stamps in foreign countries
And in Soviet passports.
People have tickets in their hands,
Both bouquets and packages.
Loud talk. Jokes. Laughter.
Only these are not tourists,
And gymnasts and weightlifters,
And, of course, football players -
We know everyone very well!
They are all by name
We have known each other since childhood...
Seeing off moms, dads,
Uncle Kolya, Aunt Kapa,
Grandchildren, daughters, sons -
Everyone has a family!
Goodbye everything
Mixed together they say:
- If you run, don’t stumble,
If you come running, you won’t catch a cold!
– Every business requires experience,
So as not to waste your energy...
Uncle Styopa jokes with his son:
– Did you forget the barbell at home?
Three weeks have passed.
- Have you arrived?
- We've arrived!
- How did you fly? Aren't you tired?
- Everything is fine!
- Hello, son!
- Great, dad! –
Uncle Styopa shouted from the gangway
Olympic champion.
* * *
We have an inconspicuous
Semi-secret town
A fence surrounded him...
Among military pilots -
Excellent testers -
Yegor lives in the town,
He is a major by rank.
Strong, brave and serious,
He achieved his dream
In the study they gave the star,
Conquering heights.
To complete the task
On a rocket ship
Unearthly trials
It took place on Earth.
And one morning early
We will hear in silence:
"Cosmonaut Egor Stepanov
From Mars sends greetings to the Moon!
This will be reported:
“From Mars sends greetings to the Moon!”
That will be admiration!
And to the seventh department
Congratulations from the Minister
Uncle Styopa - the foreman!
4. Uncle Styopa is a veteran
Lived in Moscow Stepan Stepanov
A distinguished policeman.
And now Stepan Stepanov -
Ordinary pensioner.
A veteran of considerable years,
The man is already gray-haired.
Of all the experienced people
Still the youngest.
Stepanov does not sit at home,
Doesn't look out the window all day
And he is not looking for acquaintances,
To fight dominoes.
What is Uncle Styopa doing?
Our childhood hero?
As before, Uncle Styopa
He is strong friends with children.
Take, for example, the stadium -
Where the guys are, there he is!
They take the kids to the zoo -
The children are waiting for Uncle Styopa.
Here with your long stride
He walks across the square.
And there is a gang around the children -
Curious people.
- Tell me, Uncle Styopa,
How does your son Egor live?
- Show me, Uncle Styopa,
How to look through a fence? –
Uncle Styopa is happy to try:
- I'll show you! Look, brothers!..
“He doesn’t know any sense of proportion,”
They say pensioners.
– Uncle Styopa and now
Wants to be younger than us!
* * *
Is there anything in the world?
What can be hidden for a long time?
Fifth grader Rybkin Petya
Slowly I started smoking.
The boy has cigarettes
This is how the hand reaches out.
Lagging behind in all subjects
Don't recognize the student!
The fool started coughing.
That's what tobacco means!
Uncle Styopa frowns:
-Which of you guys smokes?
I can't stand smokers!
I’m not ruining my health!
You are a conscious people!
Anyone who smokes, step forward!
One is responsible for oneself,
Blushing like a cancer in front of everyone,
Fifth grader Rybkin Petya
Took the required step.
What is there to say?
– I promise not to smoke!
Stepanov winked at the children,
I shook the boy's hand...
Everyone knows that Rybkin Petya
I kept my word.
* * *
The infantry takes the height -
Troops are on the offensive.
Like a frog out of the swamp
Someone is pulling his tongue.
Even the girls can't sleep
They, nurses, have no time to sleep...
Then the game “Zarnitsa” is playing -
Not a military war.
Uncle Styopa on the hill
Yes, even on the tubercle
Watches with a keen eye
Behind the battle in the distance.
Mitya Vertushkin ran up,
The platoon commander asks:
- Uncle Styopa! At least bend down!
You are such a landmark!
Uncle Styopa smiled,
But he obeyed and bent down.
The former foreman sees:
Even though they are playing, it’s war!
* * *
They surrounded Uncle Styopa,
They take him straight to headquarters:
- Admit it, Uncle Styopa,
Who were you rooting for?
- I will not answer,
I'm supposed to be silent.
I'm detained. I'm a prisoner.
I won't blurt out a word!
* * *
One morning Uncle Styopa
We met in the yard;
- Where are you going?
- I'm flying to Europe!
I'll be home in September.
There is a ticket and there is a voucher,
Airplane Moscow – Paris.
It’s awkward to refuse:
And if you don’t want to, you’ll fly!
Everyone boards the plane:
- Well, take it, Aeroflot!
Uncle Styopa sat down in a chair,
Buckle up. Ate breakfast.
I just picked up the newspaper -
What's happened? Arrived!
Landed on three points
And I ended up in Paris.
Eiffel Tower in Paris
Uncle Styopa visited.
“You are, of course, a little shorter!” –
The translator joked.
In the old town hall tourists
Received by the venerable mayor,
A sparkling glass for Paris
Our pensioner raised it.
Sitting next to a partisan,
I talked about Moscow,
To two veteran workers
He gave me a matryoshka doll.
Uncle Styopa was invited
Both to the museum and to the restaurant
And everywhere they imagined:
“This is a Russian giant!”
And one day, with a suitcase
Having first passed through the X-ray,
Tourist Stepan Stepanov sat down
On the plane Paris - Moscow.
He sat down in a chair by the window.
Buckle up. Ate breakfast.
Just picked up the newspaper -
What's happened? Arrived!
- How was it flying, Uncle Styopa?
- How is your health?
– How is Europe? –
And Stepanov answered everyone:
- There is no place better than home!
* * *
In the fifth grade, the squad gathers.
Everyone needs to come to the meeting!
An emergency is declared:
Uncle Styopa has fallen ill!
Uncle Styopa caught a cold
And I found myself in bed.
And friends are already here:
They entered, and these are waiting...
Who brings him jam?
Who has his own poem,
Who makes the tea:
- Uncle Styopa! Here's a raspberry
Drink instead of aspirin!
- Uncle Styopa! Do not be bored!..
And, touched by the attention,
Full of gratitude
Aunt Manya meets everyone -
Uncle's wife.
Not even a week has passed
Uncle Styopa got out of bed,
I went out into the yard on Friday,
And son Egor is coming towards you.
Son and father met
Everyone looks great!
– You can congratulate us on our daughter!
The astronaut told his father...
We need to make a point here.
Uncle Styopa has become a grandfather!
Veteran Stepan Stepanov,
If you look at it sensibly,
Must be late or early
Unfortunately, die.
Amazing thing:
Day after day, year after year,
So many springs have flown by
But Stepanov still lives!
He also has a pension
And old age,
But he won't grow old anymore
Never!
Those who once knew him
And I went with him to kindergarten,
They're bearded today
And they introduce their grandchildren to him.
Uncle Styopa is friends with them -
He serves the boys well
And ready always, everywhere
Help them in any trouble.
Adults and children know
All the reading people
That, living in this world,
Uncle Styopa will not die!
In the house there are eight fraction one
At the Ilyich outpost
There lived a tall citizen
Nicknamed "Kalancha"
By surname Stepanov
And named Stepan,
From the regional giants
The most important giant.
Respected Uncle Styopa
For such a height.
Uncle Styopa was coming home from work -
It was visible a mile away.
Dashingly measured their steps
Two huge legs:
Size forty five
He bought boots.
He was looking for in the market
Greatest boots
He was looking for his pants
Unprecedented width.
Will buy with grief in half,
Turns to the mirrors -
All tailoring work
It's coming apart at the seams!
He's through any fence
From the pavement I looked into the courtyard.
The dogs started barking:
They thought that a thief was breaking in.
Uncle Styopa took it from the dining room
Double lunch for yourself.
Uncle Styopa went to bed -
He put his feet on a stool.
Sitting, he took books from the cabinet.
And more than once he goes to the cinema
They said: - Sit on the floor,
You, comrade, don’t care!
But to the stadium
It was free:
They let Uncle Styopa through -
They thought he was a champion.
From gate to gate
All the people in the area knew
Where does Stepanov work?
Where is it registered?
How does he live?
Because everyone is faster
Without special efforts
He filmed the kite for the guys
From telegraph wires.
And the one who is small in stature,
At the parade he raised
Because everyone should
See the country's army.
Everyone loved Uncle Styopa,
They respected Uncle Styopa:
He was the best friend
All the guys from all the yards.
He is in a hurry home from Arbat.
He sneezes - the guys chorus:
- Uncle Styopa, be healthy!
Uncle Styopa early in the morning
He quickly jumped up from the sofa,
The windows were opened wide,
I took a cold shower.
Uncle Styopa brushing teeth
I never forgot.
A man sits in the saddle
Legs dragging along the ground -
This is Uncle Styopa coming
Along the boulevard on a donkey.
“You,” people shout to Stepan, “
You need to ride a camel!
He rode on a camel -
People are choking with laughter:
- Hey, comrade, where are you from?
You will crush the camel!
To you, at your height,
You need to ride an elephant!
Uncle Styopa two minutes
It remains until the jump.
He's standing under a parachute
And he's a little worried.
And below the people laugh:
The tower wants to jump from the tower!
To the shooting range, under a low canopy,
Uncle Styopa barely got in.
- Allow me to address,
I pay for the shots.
In this ball and in this bird
I want to take aim!
Looking around the shooting range with alarm,
The cashier says in response:
- You'll have to kneel,
Dear comrade, stand up -
You can target
Without a gun, reach it with your hand!
Until the morning in the alleys of the park
It will be fun and bright
The music will thunder
The audience will be noisy.
Uncle Styopa asks for the cash register:
- I came to the carnival.
Give me this mask
So that no one finds out!
- It’s quite easy to recognize you, -
There is a friendly laugh -
We recognize you by your height:
You, comrade, are above everyone!
What's happened?
What kind of scream?
- This is a student drowning!
He fell off a cliff into the river -
Help the man! -
In front of all the people
Uncle Styopa climbs into the water.
- This is extraordinary! -
Everyone shouts to him from the bridge. -
You, comrade, are knee-deep
All deep places!
Alive, healthy and unharmed
Boy Vasya Borodin.
Uncle Styopa this time
Saved a drowning man.
For a noble deed
Everyone thanks him.
- Ask for anything, -
They tell Uncle Styopa.
- I don't need anything -
I saved him for nothing!
The locomotive is flying, humming,
The driver looks ahead.
Driver at the stop
Kochegaru says:
- From station to station
I made a lot of flights,
But I’m ready to argue -
This is a new semaphore.
They drive up to the semaphore.
What kind of deception is this?
No semaphore -
Stepan is standing by the path.
He stands and says:
- Here the path is blurred by rains.
I deliberately raised my hand -
Show that the path is closed. -
What's that smoke overhead?
What's that thunder on the pavement?
The house is burning around the corner
A hundred onlookers are standing around.
The team is putting up the ladders,
Saves the house from fire.
The whole attic is already on fire,
Pigeons are fighting in the window.
In the yard in a crowd of guys
They say to Uncle Styopa:
- Is it really together with the house?
Will our pigeons burn?
Uncle Styopa from the sidewalk
Reaches up to the attic.
Through the fire and smoke of the fire
His hand reaches out.
He opens the window.
They fly out of the window
Eighteen doves
And behind them is a sparrow.
Everyone is grateful to Stepan.
He saved the birds, and therefore
Become a firefighter immediately
Everyone advises him.
But in response to the firefighters
Stepanov says: - No!
I'm going to serve in the navy,
If I'm tall enough.
There is laughter and stomping in the corridor,
There is a buzz of speeches in the corridor.
Uncle Styopa is in the office
Being examined by doctors.
It costs. Him bend over
The sister asks politely.
- We can't reach! -
Doctors explain. -
Everything from sight to hearing
We will investigate for you:
Does your ear hear well?
How far can the eye see?
Uncle Styopa was examined
Conducted to the scales
And they said: - In this body
My heart beats like a clock!
The growth is great, but nothing -
Let's take him into the army!
But you are not fit to be a tank driver:
You won't fit in the tank!
And they are not fit for infantry:
You can be seen from the trench!
With your height on the plane
Inconvenient to be on a flight:
Your legs will get tired -
You have nowhere to put them!
For people like you
There are no horses
And the navy needs you -
Serve for the country!
- I am ready to serve the people, -
Stepin's bass is heard, -
I will go through fire and water!
Send it now! -
Winter and summer have passed,
And winter came again.
- Uncle Styopa, how are you? Where are you? -
There is no answer for us from the sea,
No postcard, no letter...
And one day past the bridge
To the house eight fraction one
Uncle Stepa's growth
A citizen is moving.
Who, comrades, do you know?
With this prominent sailor?
He's coming,
Snowflakes creak
Under his thumb.
Pleated uniform trousers,
He is wearing an overcoat under a belt.
Hands in woolen gloves,
The anchors shine on it.
Here the sailor approaches the house,
Unknown to all the guys.
And the guys are here for him
They say: - Who are you going to?
Uncle Styopa turned around,
Raised his hand to the visor
And he answered: “I’m back.”
They gave the sailor leave.
I didn't sleep that night. Tired from the road.
My feet are not used to dry conditions.
I'll rest. I'll put on my jacket.
I'll lie on the sofa.
Come in after tea -
I'll tell you a hundred stories!
About the war and about the bombing,
About the big battleship "Marat"
How I was a little wounded,
Defending Leningrad.
And now the guys are proud -
Pioneers, October, -
That you know Uncle Styopa,
With a real sailor.
He is walking home from Arbat.
- How are you? - the guys shout.
And now the guys are calling
Uncle Styopa "Mayak".
