Nature: trees, flowers, river, mountains, birds. This is all that surrounds man every day. It is familiar and even boring. What is there to admire? What is there to admire? So thinks a man who since childhood was not taught to notice the beauty of dewdrops on the petals of roses, to admire the charm of a just-blooming white birch, to listen in the quiet evening conversation, as the waves splash against the shore. And who should teach? Probably a father or mother, a grandmother or grandfather, someone who has always been "a prisoner of this beauty. The writer V. Krupin has a wonderful story with the intriguing title "Throw the Bag." It is about how a father taught his "blind" to the beauty of nature daughter to notice the beautiful. One day after the rain, when they were loading a barge with potatoes, her father suddenly said: "Varya, look how beautiful it is." And her daughter has a heavy sack on her shoulders: how can you look? The phrase of the father in the title of the story seems to me a kind of metaphor. After Varya drops the "bag of blindness," she will see a beautiful picture of the sky after the rain. A huge rainbow, and above it, as if under an arc, the sun! Her father also found figurative words to describe this picture, comparing the sun to a horse harnessed to a rainbow! At that moment the girl, realizing the beauty, "as if she washed her face," and "her breath became lighter." Since then, Varya began to notice the beauty of nature and taught her children and grandchildren, as she had once learned this skill from her father. And the hero of Shukshin's story "The Old Man, the Sun and the Girl," an old village grandfather, teaches the beautiful nature to the city artist. It is thanks to the old man that she notices that the sun that evening was unusually large, and the river water in its setting rays resembled red wine. The mountains are magnificent, too! In the rays of the setting sun they seemed closer to the people. The old man and the girl marveled at how between the river and the mountains "the twilight was quietly gathering," and a soft shadow emanated from the mountains. What will be the artist's amazement when she discovers that all the beautiful things were revealed to her by a blind man! How much one must love one's homeland, how often one must come to this shore to see it all, already blinded! And not just to see, but to open this beauty to people. We can conclude that to notice the beauty in nature we are taught by people endowed with a special flair and a special love for their native land. They themselves notice and tell us that it is only necessary to look closely at any plant, even the simplest stone, and you will understand how majestic and wise the world around is, how unique, diverse and beautiful it is. 😇👐🌏🎨😘
