Summary of the story-tale "The Adventures of Cipollino" by the Italian children's writer Gianni Rodari chapter by chapter.
Chapter 1, in which Cipollone crushed the leg of Prince Lemon.
Cipollino is an onion boy. He had a large family, consisting of mom, dad Cipollone and 7 brothers: Cipolletto, Cipollotto, Cipolloccia, Cipolluccia, etc. The onion family was poor, living in a house the size of a wooden seedling box on the very outskirts of the city. One day, the ruler of the country, Prince Lemon, decided to visit this place, unloved by the rich. The courtiers were worried, because. on the outskirts of the city there was a strong smell of onions; smell of poverty. And so it was urgently decided to spray the outskirts with cologne and even perfume. The lemon soldiers were armed with canisters and sprayers. During their struggle with the unpleasant smell, Prince Lemon managed to arrive at the scene. The prince traveled everywhere with his retinue. Members of the retinue wore hats with a silver bell without fail. The prince himself also wore a cap, but with a golden bell. And the soldiers wore hats with bronze bells. Therefore, it became noisy on the outskirts. The residents decided that a traveling orchestra had arrived and poured out into the street. A strong crush began. Cipollino and his father were in the forefront. They were pushed back. Old Cipollone could not stand it and shouted back rows: "Back!". This did not please Prince Lemon. When the assembled people became agitated with might and main, then Cipollone was pushed out by the crowd right at Prince Lemon, and the poor old man accidentally crushed the ruler's crooked thin leg, which, to the horror and fear of Cipollone, had a callus. For this oversight, the old man was captured by the lemon soldiers and thrown into prison. Chipollino achieved a meeting with his father and found out that it was not criminals who were sitting in the country's prison, as he thought before, but only decent and honest people. The father told Chipollino that such people were not pleasing to the government of the country, he also advised Chipollino to walk around the world and learn the mind, Special attention you need to pay attention to all the swindlers who have power. After meeting with his father, Cipollino entrusted his mother and his brothers to his uncle, tied his things in a bundle and hit the road.
Chapter 2. How Cipollino made Tomato's cavalier cry for the first time.
Chipollino in one of the villages came across an old man Pumpkin, who was sitting in a brick box. Later it turned out that this is not a box, but a small house of Pumpkin's godfather. The fact is that the old man dreamed of his house all his life. He saved up bricks, refused to eat, worked hard and lost weight, because. did not finish. Kum Pumpkin has accumulated 118 bricks by the time of his old age. He couldn't work anymore. Realizing that he would no longer be able to buy bricks, he decided to build a very small and very cramped house. Cipollino began to ask the godfather Pumpkin about his life, but the latter did not even have time to open his mouth, as a cloud of dust seemed. The street quickly became empty, even cats and chickens began to hide. Residents rushed to their homes, locking the doors and shutters on the windows. A carriage appeared from a dusty cloud, and Signor Tomato stepped out of the carriage. He told his godfather Pumpkin that he built his "palace" on the land of the landowners Countess Cherry without their permission. Pumpkin objected that he had received permission from the count himself. But Signor Tomato urged the village lawyer Goroshka to confirm the legitimacy of his demands to vacate the house. Cipollino intervened in the dispute, who at first stood indifferently. Signor Tomato did not immediately understand which side the onion boy was on. He asked why Cipollino was not working. The boy replied that he was studying - he was studying swindlers. Signor Tomato became interested, saying that the whole village of swindlers is here, and if Cipollino has found a new one, then he is not averse to looking at him. Then Cipollino took out a mirror from his pocket and brought it to Signor Tomato. The latter realized that the boy was simply mocking him and became furious. He grabbed Cipollino by the hair and began to ruffle. As a result, Signor Pomodoro burst into tears. This was a novelty for such an important gentleman, he was very frightened, jumped into the carriage and hurried away. But before leaving, he threatened his godfather Pumpkin and reminded him that he should leave his own house.
Chapter 3, which tells about Professor Pear, Leek and the Millipedes
After Cipollino made the Tomato cavalier himself cry, master Vinogradinka offered the boy to work as an apprentice in his workshop. And I didn't guess. People were now reaching out to him from everywhere, only to stare at a very brave little boy. Chipollino was always cheerful and friendly with visitors. So he met Professor Grusha, who played a violin made from pear. The professor was always followed by a swarm of flies that adored the sweet pear aroma. Cipollino also met the gardener Luk Porey, who complained about his fate because of his long mustache. It turns out that his wife dried clothes on them in sunny weather. And Cipollino met a family of centipedes. They also had enough worries - not only was it not easy to fix the shoes of restless children, but they still needed to manage to wash their feet! While washing the front hundreds of legs, the rear ones are already covered in mud. And vice versa - while you wash the back ones, the clean front ones already turn black.
Chapter 4 about how Cipollino fooled the dog Mastino, who was very thirsty.
Meanwhile, Signor Tomato again visited the village. He was surrounded by a dozen lemon soldiers and Mastino the watchdog. They forcefully pushed the poor old Pumpkin out of his house. Signor Tomato settled in the house watchdog and drove away in his carriage. Lemons followed. The sun was very hot that day. Chipollino saw everything, but could do nothing to help the poor godfather Pumpkin. However, Cipollino noticed how hot the dog was. Then he waited for the very peak of the solstice. At that moment, it became so hot outside that even the stones were sweating. Then Cipollino took out a bottle of water, threw a sleeping pill into it, which the wife of the master Vinogradinka takes, and went out onto the porch. Mastino saw him and asked for a sip of water. Cipollino gave the dog the whole bottle. When the dog drained it to the very bottom, he immediately fell asleep. Cipollino put Mastino on his shoulders and carried Countess Cherry to the park.
Chapter 5. Kum Blueberry hangs a bell for thieves over the door.
When Cipollino returned to the village, he saw that people were very worried. Indeed, Signor Tomato was twice fooled, and now everyone was afraid of his revenge. After deliberation, it was decided that Pumpkin's house should be hidden. The house was carefully loaded onto a cart and transported into the forest. So that the house would not be left unattended, they asked the godfather Blueberry to temporarily move to Pumpkin's house. Kum Chernika was worried about the safety of the house. So he put up a notice on the door calling on the thieves. The note said that the house was very poor and there was absolutely nothing to steal in it. If the lords of the thieves do not believe, then nothing prevents them from ringing the bell, after which the door will be immediately opened for them and they will be able to verify the veracity of the words about the poverty of the house. As a result of the godfather's hanging note, Chernika was woken up every night by poor thieves.
Chapter 6, which tells about how much trouble and trouble brought to the countesses by their relatives - Baron Orange and Duke Mandarin.
On the day when the villagers hid Pumpkin's godfather's house, two guests arrived at the estate of Countess Cherry - Baron Orange and Duke Mandarin. Baron Orange was a terrible glutton. He ate all the stocks of his peasants, then he ate all the trees of his gardens, then he began to sell his lands and buy food. When he had nothing left, he asked for a visit to one of the Countess Cherries. Then another sister, Countess Cherry, decided to invite the Duke of Mandarin, who was the cousin of her late husband, to visit. As a result, there was a terrible revival in the house of the venerable Signors Cherries. Baron Orange had a very huge belly and could not move independently. Therefore, servants had to be assigned to him with a wheelbarrow, on which Baron Orange's belly was transported. The Duke of Mandarin also caused a lot of trouble. He was very greedy. So he acted out suicide scenes. To prevent such intentions, the Countess Cherries had to give the Signor Mandarin jewelry, silk shirts, etc. Due to the troubles that arose, the Countess Cherries were in a terrible mood. They took out their discontent on the poor nephew of the boy Cherry. Only the maid Strawberry felt sorry for Cherry and tried to calm him down. In the evenings, she treated the boy to something sweet. But Baron Orange ate everything this time. Even the intention of committing suicide to betray the Duke of Mandarin and something tasty did not help him. At this time, a dispatch was urgently delivered to Signor Tomato with a message about the disappearance of the Pumpkin house. Then Signor Tomato asked the Prince of Lemon for two dozen soldiers to suppress the rebellion in the village. The soldiers have arrived. As a result of their raid, almost all the inhabitants of the village were arrested. Cipollino and the girl Radish were able to escape from the soldiers.
Chapter 7, in which Cherry pays no attention to Signor Petrushka's announcements.
The nephew of Countess Cherry, the boy Cherry, lived extremely lonely among luxury. One day, through the fence, he saw how the village children joyfully run along the road with satchels on their backs. He asked his aunts to send him to school. The aunts were horrified at the thought that a young count could sit at the same desk with some poor man! Instead of fulfilling the request of their nephew, they assigned him a teacher, Signor Petrushka. To the misfortune of the boy Cherry, his teacher turned out to be a terrible bore. He posted prohibition notices everywhere. Cherry was forbidden to trample the grass in the garden, laugh out loud, talk to village children, and even draw. Signor Petrushka argued that any violation of the rules he had invented for the nephew of Countess Cherries would lead the boy to prison. Such prospects frightened Cherry. But one day, on the same day of mass arrests in the village, Cherry went for a walk in the park. He heard someone calling him. Cherry saw two children behind the fence. They turned out to be Chipollino and Radish. Despite the announcement forbidding talking to children, Cherry started talking. As a result, the children became friends. Moreover, Cherry, together with Cipollino and Radish, for the first time laughed loudly and from the bottom of his heart. Their laughter was heard by the countesses and Signor Tomato. He immediately went to see what was going on. The boy Vishenka saw him and warned his new friends about the danger in time. They managed to escape. Then the gentleman Tomato shouted after the fugitives for a long time. And the young count fell to the ground and wept bitterly, deciding that he would never see his new friends again. Then Signor Tomato grabbed Cherry under his arm and carried him to the castle.
Chapter 8. How Dr. Chestnut was driven out of the castle.
The boy Cherry was very upset, thinking that he had lost Chipollino and Radish in his life forever. He was constantly crying. But few of the household sympathized with the boy. Almost everyone began to make fun of him and even mock him. Only the maid Strawberry sincerely pitied Cherry. She couldn't help but cry too. But the countesses threatened her with dismissal. Soon Cherry developed a fever. He began to repeat the names of Chipollino and Radish. Then everyone decided that the child was delusional and invited a lot of doctors. But nothing helped Cherry. Then Strawberry Girl invited Dr. Chestnut. He was a poor but truthful doctor. He stated that Cherry had melancholy and needed to communicate with other children. The gentlemen did not like these words, and Dr. Kashtan was expelled from the castle.
Chapter 9. The mouse commander-in-chief is forced to give the signal to retreat.
Meanwhile, friends who were in prison were attacked by mice. Their commander-in-chief, General Longtail Mouse, ordered the stub of a candle and Professor Grusha's violin to be taken away from the prisoners. The mice managed to take away the candle, but failed to destroy the violin, which makes meowing sounds. But the professor could no longer play the violin, because the mice gnawed on the bow. The mice retreated temporarily to gather their strength. Master Grape has figured out how to repel the next attack of mice, scaring the enemy a lot, meowing loudly. After the mice retreated, the friends heard Strawberry's voice. She spoke through Signor Tomato's secret listening device in his room. Strawberry asked her friends not to give up and not to tell where Pumpkin's godfather's house was hidden. Chipollino asked me to tell him that he would soon figure out how to free everyone. The prisoners asked Strawberry to give them matches and a candle. The girl fulfilled the request of her friends. Strawberry told Signor Tomato that she was dusting a mousetrap (as she called the secret listening device). Cavalier Tomato decided that the maid was stupid and calmed down. Later, Signor Tomato was glad, because. the dog Mastino saw Radish, Strawberry and Chipollino near the hedge and rushed to Chipollino. So main enemy Tomato - Cipollino, was captured.
Chapter 10 The journey of Cipollino and Mole from one prison to another.
Cipollino was thrown into the darkest and deepest cell that was found in the prison of Countess Cherry. Suddenly Cipollino heard a knock. Then more and more. And a moment later a brick fell off in the wall and Signor Mole appeared. More precisely, Cipollino guessed from the conversation that it was the Mole, because. in fact, it was very dark in the cell and nothing could be seen. The mole ended up in Cipollino's cell by accident. He was just digging a new tunnel. Cipollino followed the Mole and persuaded him to dig a new underground corridor leading towards the dungeon where his friends were languishing. Mole agreed. Meanwhile, Signor Tomato dreamed of how Cipollino would humiliate himself in front of him, how he would give the boy hope for salvation, and how he would later announce his decision to hang Cipollino! He joyfully walked into the cell of the young prisoner. When the gentleman Pomodoro discovered that the cell was completely empty, he became furious. Signor Tomato sat down on the bench in great shock. And then a gust of wind slammed the cell door. The lock clicked and the gentleman Tomato was locked. The keys only opened the door from the outside. To release the unfortunate, I had to blow up the door. Later, Signor Tomato was dragged out of the cell and carried into the room. He lay in his bed broken by misfortune. At this time, Cipollino and Mole got to the camera of friends. Familiar voices and sighs of Pumpkin's godfather were already heard. The mole agreed to make a dig and bring friends to the surface. But unfortunately, at the very moment when the hole was dug into the chamber, Master Vine lit a match. Mole immediately backed off. He hated the world. Therefore, Signor Mole abandoned Cipollino and his friends, hiding in the darkness of underground tunnels. Cipollino was among friends. At first, everyone rejoiced at him. But when they realized that now there was nowhere to wait for help, everyone became discouraged.
Chapter 11, from which it is clear that the gentleman Tomato is in the habit of sleeping in stockings.
Signor Tomato hid from everyone about the flight of Cipollino. He told the Limonchik soldiers to keep quiet about the incident. Meanwhile, Strawberry Girl had been following Signor Tomato for a long time. She was very worried about the question of where the Pomodoro hides the keys to the prison cells. But she couldn't unravel the mystery. Then Strawberry Girl decided to consult with the young Count Cherry. He was still sick. But as soon as he found out that Cipollino had been arrested, he immediately jumped out of bed, his eyes sparkled, his tears dried up, and his cheeks turned pink. In a word, he immediately recovered and began to take decisive action. He found out from one jailer Limonchik that Cipollino had fled. Cherry was pleased. But he decided to release Cipollino's friends. After talking with one of the jailers, Cherry learned that Signor Tomato carries the keys to the dungeon in his stocking pocket. And since the gentleman Tomato was sleeping in stockings, Cherry asked Strawberry to bake a delicious chocolate cake, where sleeping pills would be sprinkled. the strawberry immediately set to work. Cavalier Tomato ate the cake with pleasure and began to snore. Cherry and Strawberry entered the gentleman's room, pulled off his stocking and pulled out the keys. Strawberry went around the corner of the house and began to call for help. And Cherry ran to the guards with a message that bandits attacked the castle. The guards immediately rushed to the cry of Strawberry. She, meanwhile, scratched her face and tore her apron. When the guards ran up to the girl, there were no bandits. When asked where the bandits had gone, Strawberry Girl pointed towards the village through her tears. The guards went looking for it. But only the village cat was arrested. Meanwhile, Cherry managed to release all the prisoners of the dungeon. He led them into the woods. The returning guard found an empty prison. Fearing the wrath of Signor Tomato, the jailers threw down their weapons and fled. Cherry closed the dungeon, and returned the keys to the sleeping Signor Tomato. In the morning, the Chevalier Tomato sent an urgent telegram to Prince Lemon with the message that riots had begun in the castle of the Countess Cherries.
Chapter 12 in which Leek was rewarded and punished.
The next morning, Prince Lemon entered the domain of the Countess Cherries. On the way, his soldiers arrested Luke Leek and Green Pea's lawyer. No one else was found in the village. Countess Cherries and all the household were very puzzled, because. Lemons and Lemons began to trample grass and flowers in the garden, break stained-glass windows and catch goldfish in the pond. But no one paid the slightest attention to the complaints of the countesses. Moreover, Prince Lemon and his courtiers occupied the best rooms in the castle of the countesses, and they themselves were pushed aside. Prince Lemon, teacher Petrushka and Signor Tomato were invited for interrogation by Luke Leek. Leek had a magnificent and very strong mustache. Therefore, as soon as he entered the room, Prince Lemon was delighted with his magnificent mustache and forgot, due to absent-mindedness, why they brought Luke Porey from prison. As a result, Leek was awarded the order Silver Mustache. Then Signor Tomato reminded the prince that Leek is a scoundrel and needs to be interrogated. The prince asked if Leek knew where the prisoners had fled and where Pumpkin's godfather's house was hidden. Leek answered in the negative. Then it was decided to invite the executioner and start the torture. Prince Lemon offered to rip out Leek's mustache. But since the wife of Luca Leek often washed and dried clothes on his magnificent mustache, they became stronger. the executioner could not pull out his mustache. Leek, on the other hand, felt no pain at all. as a result, he was sent back to prison and forgotten about. Lawyer Green Peas was summoned for interrogation. In the beginning, the lawyer threw himself at the feet of the ruler and begged for mercy, for he was not guilty of anything. But when he was convinced that Signor Tomato was not even trying to save him, Pea was seized with resentment and anger. When asked where the house of Pumpkin's godfather was hidden, Green Peas boldly stated that he knew where, but he would never say! Prince Lemon decided to hang the lawyer.
Chapter 13 about how signor Goroshek saved the life of the cavalier, without wanting it himself.
The peas were placed in a hanged cell. Some time later, the bound Signor Tomato was pushed into the same cell. It turns out that Prince Lemon was very disappointed that the culprit was never found. Then he decided to accuse the Tomato cavalier of conspiracy. Sitting in the cell, those sentenced to death became friends. At dawn the prisoners are to be hanged. Signor Tomato suddenly became very kind and even shared half of the cake. Signora Goroshka, this behavior of the Tomato gentleman was very surprised and aroused confidence. Therefore, he eventually betrayed the secret of friends - the place where the pumpkin's godfather's house was hidden. Immediately afterwards, Signor Tomato pounded on the door and demanded a meeting with Prince Lemon. The Guard complied with Pomodoro's demands. Prince Lemon was pleased with the result.
Chapter 14, which tells how signor Goroshek ascended the scaffold.
The gallows was set up in the village square. Lawyer Zeleny Peas played for time as much as possible, relying on various articles of the law. He demanded to give him the opportunity to either wash his hair or shave, but in the end he ended up on the platform of the scaffold anyway. It was only then that he fully realized the horror. The drums beat, the executioner threw a noose around his neck and pressed the button. The peas immediately flew and the hatch opened under it, feeling how the noose around the neck was being tightened. But a moment later, he suddenly heard someone's voice urging Chipollino to cut the rope as quickly as possible, and later give the hanged man a wonderful medicine.
Chapter 15 explaining the previous chapter.
Strawberry, knowing what was going on in the castle, immediately ran into the forest and told Radish about the death sentence. Radish told Cipollino and the rest of her friends. Then Cipollino decided at all costs to save Pea from death. He went to the field and wandered for a long time between the hillocks of the blasted earth. In the end, he found Signor Mole and persuaded him to save the unfortunate Peas. The mole dug a tunnel and stopped right under the scaffold. Cipollino and Signor Mole began to wait for the execution. And as soon as Peas flew down, Cipollino immediately cut the rope, and the Mole gave potato juice. So lawyer Pea was saved. Friends got through the underground passages to the cave in which the fugitives were hiding and there Peas said that Pumpkin's house was in danger. Cipollino immediately rushed to his godfather Chernika. But he was under the roots of an oak tree and wept. Everything became clear - the house had already been found by the Limonchik soldiers.
Chapter 16. The adventures of Mr. Carrot and the dog Hold-Hatch.
Prince Lemon ordered the lemon soldiers to comb the forests and fields with a rake in search of fugitives. But all to no avail. Then it was decided to invite the famous foreign detective Mr. Carrot. He arrived with his dog, Hold It, and a bunch of tools: binoculars, a microscope, compasses, spyglasses, and so on. Young Count Cherry seemed to pass by Mr. Carrot's room as if by chance. In fact, he followed the detective. In the beginning, Mr. Carrot assumed that the fugitives had dug an underground passage under the pool and offered to break the bottom of the pool. But Signor Tomato flatly refused this idea. Then Mr. Carrot had to come up with new version. He left the gate, kindly pointed out to him by Count Cherry, and went into the forest. After a while, the detective noticed a stir in the bushes. He immediately went to these bushes. But coming closer, Mr. Carrot found nothing and no one, but he heard a whistle and noticed a new movement ahead. After a while, the detective heard that someone plaintively called for help. At first, he did not want to be distracted from the search, but then he decided to still help and moved towards the voice. So he and his dog went even deeper into the forest. Suddenly, something lifted the dog Hold-Grab up and pressed it tightly to the very top of the oak. A little later, the same thing happened to Mr. Carrot himself. Thus the two enemies of our friends were eliminated. Cherry came up with this trap. When Cherry, Radish and the others were convinced that the enemy was firmly attached to the tree, they hurried to the cave. But in the cave they did not find any of their friends.
Chapter 17. Chipollino makes friends with a very cute Bear.
The events of this chapter took place two days before Detective Carrot fell into the trap. The fact is that around the cave where the fugitives lived, wild animals roamed at night. They dreamed of eating someone. Therefore, friends kindled fires. This saved them from being attacked by animals. The Bear also got into the habit of coming to the cave. One night, Cipollino got into a conversation with the Bear. It turned out that the Bear's parents were caught by people and taken to the Zoological Garden of the Ruler. They were kept in a cage, they were well fed, but they still dreamed of returning to freedom. Finch's friend regularly informed the Bear about this. Then Cipollino told the Bear that his father was also in captivity, and he also dreamed of freedom. So the Bear and Chipollino became friends. Cipollino invited the Bear to the cave. Professor Grusha gave a violin concerto in honor of the guest. And the Bear even danced. Then Cipollino decided to see the Bear off. On the way, they decided that same night to visit the Bear's parents and immediately went to the city.
Chapter 18. A seal that had too long a tongue.
In the city, Cipollino and the Bear entered the zoological garden. The watchman slept very soundly in the elephant den. The elephant graciously opened the gate to the garden and even took out the keys to the bear cage from the pocket of the sleeping watchman. The bears, seeing their son, immediately rushed to hug. Cipollino had to rush them. But the bears did not want to run away from the zoo without saying goodbye. As a result, the entire zoo was awakened. The bears had not only friends, but also enemies. Among them is a seal. He began to shout loudly and woke the watchman. The watchman called his assistants, and the bears were driven back into the cage. Only three now. And Chipollino was required to pay a fine. But Cipollino had no money. Then he was placed in a cage with a monkey. Only two days later, Cipollino was able to give the news to Cherry. Cherry released Cipollino, and together they hurried to the train. On the way, Cherry told Cipollino that the cave with his friends was empty.
Chapter 19. Traveling in a fun train.
Chipollino and Cherry boarded a train consisting of only one carriage. In this car there were only seats with windows. The car was equipped for different passengers, both fat and thin. For fat people, there were special shelves in the carriage where a large belly could be placed. Baron Apelsin was trying to get into this car at that time. The rag-picker Bean, two porters and the stationmaster tried in vain to push him. While pushing Orange into the car, the stationmaster accidentally blew his whistle. So the train started moving. A strong push finally squeezed Baron Orange into the carriage, where he immediately began to eat. He was so absorbed in the fried lamb that he did not notice Cipollino with Cherry. At the same time, in a forest familiar to the reader, a lumberjack went to work. He freed the detective and his dog tied to the oak. They immediately ran away without even thanking their savior. And after a while, lemon soldiers came up to the place of work of the woodcutter, looking for the missing detective. But the woodcutter was not used to trusting lemon soldiers and therefore showed them the opposite side. As soon as the soldiers left, master Vinogradinka and his friends immediately appeared in front of the woodcutter. They asked if the woodcutter had seen Cipollino. Having received a negative answer, Vinogradinka asked the woodcutter if he met Chipollino to tell the latter that his friends had been looking for the boy for 2 days. After that, the friends left. And an hour later Chipollino and Cherry came up to the woodcutter. That's when the mystery of the disappearance of friends from the cave was clarified. The woodcutter told the boys the words of Master Vine. Further, Radish and friends visited the woodcutter, asking if the woodcutter had seen Cipollino, then Signor Tomato and Signor Petrushka (they were looking for Cherry), and in the late afternoon Prince Lemon himself appeared. He was looking for the missing platoon of Lemon Soldiers. But the woodcutter, avoiding trouble, decided to tell Prince Lemon that he had not seen anything or anyone during the day, including the soldiers. Night fell, but the search continued anyway. Even the old blind Mole was looking for everyone at once, but only underground.
Chapter 20 Duke Mandarin and yellow bottle.
Duke Mandarin and Baron Orange discovered that no one was left in the castle but them. Prince Lemon went to the forest in search, accompanied by Countess Cherry, Signor Tomato and Signor Petrushka went to the forest in search of Cherry. As a result, the two guests were left alone with each other. And then the Duke Mandarin came up with the idea to go down to the cellar of the castle and look for treasures there, allegedly left by Count Cherry as an inheritance to the countesses. But so that he would not be suspected of something bad, he decided to take Baron Orange with him, so that in which case he would be blamed. The duke told the baron that he had heard that rare brands of wines were hidden in the cellar. Therefore, the baron gladly agreed to go down to the cellar. While the baron drank bottle after bottle of all sorts of wines, the Duke of Mandarin tried to open a secret door that he found in a narrow passage. But she didn't give in. Then Baron Orange noticed a bottle with a yellow sticker among a pile of bottles with exclusively red stickers. He thought it was a rare Chinese wine, but because he could not reach the bottle himself, he asked the duke for help. The mandarin pulled the neck of the bottle and the secret door opened. However, outside the door, the gentlemen saw Cherry and his friends. The fact is that friends eventually found each other in the forest. Upon learning that the castle was empty and all the gentlemen were busy searching in the forest, the friends decided to immediately occupy enemy territory. The boy Cherry, knowing about the secret passage, led everyone from the forest straight to the secret door, which was opened by the Duke of Mandarin. Mandarin and Orange were seized. The duke was locked in his room, and the baron was left in the cellar.
Chapter 21. Mr. Carrot has been appointed foreign military adviser.
Many of Cipollino's friends were worried that they would not be able to withstand the siege of the castle, because. the common people are completely unfamiliar with military strategy, unlike the generals of Prince Lemon. But Cipollino was sure that his friends would cope and demand the release of all those present from the nobility. The night has come. Chipollino invited everyone to go to bed, which the friends did. Only godfather Pumpkin and godfather Blueberry went to the park to spend the night in their house. At first, the dog Mastino tried to object to them, but the godfathers presented documents for the house. The dog respected the law and therefore went to sleep in his old kennel. Meanwhile, in the forest, Prince Lemon entertained Countess Cherries with fireworks. He tied two lemon soldiers and launched them into the air. So he almost transferred his entire army. But stopped in time. The gentlemen decided to go to bed. And only Signor Tomato could not fall asleep. He climbed to the top of the tree and tried to see the light of the fire of the fugitives. But instead, in the distance, he saw the lights in the castle. Then they went out. And only one window was lit. But it was illuminated in an unusual way. The light went out and was lit again at regular intervals. It was very similar to signals. Three long ones and three short ones. Signor Tomato got down from the tree and ran into one of the courtiers. They got into a conversation and the courtier deciphered these signals as SOS, i.e. someone in the castle asked for help. Then Signor Tomato went to the castle. There he met with the dog Mastino, who told him that all the fugitives were in the castle. Cavalier Tomato rushed off into the forest and reported everything to Prince Lemon. The prince decided that his army needed to be reinforced after the fireworks and begin the assault on the castle at dawn. And to intimidate, on the advice of Signor Petrushka, the prince personally smeared everyone with soot, even Countess Cherries.
Chapter 22 About how the baron killed twenty generals without wanting to.
When the army of lemons approached the castle, strategic plan the prince was destroyed. The fact is that at the military council of Prince Lemon, it was decided to send Mr. Carrot's dog to the count's dog Mastino for negotiations. After that, Mastino had to open the gates of the castle. However, the gates were wide open without any negotiations. It was the same with the backyard gate. This seemed strange to Prince Lemon and his courtiers. They saw it as a trap. However, the prince was tired of thinking and waiting. So he ordered the soldiers to enter the gate and move towards the castle. The soldiers began to carry out the order. But having gone quite a bit forward, a huge projectile flew at them. Lemons rushed to the retreat. But the shell overtook them and crushed at least 20 generals, overturned the carriage of the countesses and continued to move on. When he stopped, they recognized him as Baron Orange. It turns out that in order to escape from captivity, the baron gnawed through the wooden basement door. And then he accidentally rolled down the mountain. Prince Lemon was furious. But an hour later he sent the surviving soldiers to storm. However, Cipollino and his friends met soldiers with fire pumps in their hands. They connected barrels of wine to the pumps and doused lemons with this strong drink. As a result, all the soldiers retreated. They returned to the prince drunk and immediately fell asleep.
Chapter 23. Cipollino meets a postman spider.
It seemed that the victory was on the side of Cipollino and his friends. But a whole division of lemon soldiers, hastily discharged from the capital, arrived to help Prince Lemon. It was impossible to resist the whole division. You could either run away or surrender. Cipollino tried to escape through a secret underground passage. However, Signor Peas, realizing that Cipollino had lost, went over to the side of the enemy and told Prince Lemon about the underground passage. Therefore, all escape routes were blocked. Cipollino was captured. Cherry was closed in a closet, and friends were released, because. were very happy about the capture of Cipollino. Our hero was sent to the same prison as his father. Cipollino's cell was very dark and damp. Cipollino really dreamed of seeing his father, or at least giving him the news. A week after his arrest, Cipollino was taken to the prison yard. The boy thought that they were going to hang him, but it turned out that the prisoners were taken out for a walk. They were lined up in a circle, and they walked one after another in striped robes. An old man was walking in front of Cipollino, who was very old and coughed all the time. When the old man completely coughed, he was forced to leave the circle. Then Cipollino recognized in him his greatly aged father. They hugged, but they were immediately forced back into line. Later, a postman spider came to Cipollino and brought a note from his father. The spider told Cipollino about the secret correspondence of prisoners in prison.
Chapter 24. Cipollino loses all hope.
On the same day, Cipollino tore off half of his shirt so that he had something to write on. Then he waited for the stew to be brought in to make the ink. So Cipollino prepared three letters: to his father, Mole and the young Count Cherry. In the morning, the spider Chromonog came and Cipollino asked him to help him draw a plan of the prison on a huge piece of shirt. Then he explained in detail to the postman to whom and where to deliver the letters. He explained how important these letters are - according to the idea of \u200b\u200bCipollino, Cherry was supposed to deliver a letter to the Mole, and the mole was supposed to invite a hundred other moles to dig through many underground passages and completely free the prison from prisoners. The spider was inspired by Cipollino's idea and hurried to fulfill the orders of the onion boy. According to Chipollino's calculations, the postman was supposed to return in two days. But Chromonog did not return for the fourth day. But even worse was the fact that during the walk of the prisoners, Cipollino did not see his father. Then the boy was seized with despair. He threw himself on a bunk in his cell.
Chapter 25. Adventures of Spider Chromonog and Spider Seven and a Half.
Spider Chromonog got out of the prison and went out onto the road. But he was almost crushed by a cart. So he resolutely went down the drainpipe. In it, he met his old acquaintance and relative of the spider Seven and a half. It so happened that Seven and a Half forced himself on Chromonog as fellow travelers. Unfortunately, Seven and a Half was very talkative. This played a cruel joke, because when the spiders got out of the drainpipe, and with it out of the city, Seven and a half immediately got into an argument with an unfamiliar grasshopper. Half a day was spent on an unnecessary dispute, in which beetles, flies, caterpillars and a bunch of all kinds of rural insects already took part. The noise attracted the attention of Sparrow - a policeman. And if not for one of the midges, then Seven and a half would have been caught. The spiders hid in the Grasshopper's hole and were forced to hide there. When the danger was over, the spiders set off. But Seven and a Half said he was very tired and insisted on rest and sleep. At dawn, Chromonog woke the Seven and a Half and they finally continued on their way to the count's castle. But on the way they met a chicken that pecked at the unfortunate Chromonog. Just before his death, the noble postman managed to throw his bag to a chatty fellow traveler with the words “Pass it on”. In the beginning, Seven and a Half wanted to throw the bag away, but curiosity got the better of him. He read Cipollino's letters and decided to take them to the castle at all costs in memory of his deceased friend. He safely reached the castle, found an attic spider there, and together they handed over the letters to Count Cherry. There was no one to go to prison with a message about all the events, so Cipollino was in the dark.
Chapter 26, which tells about Limonishka, who did not know arithmetic.
From one of the old guards, Cipollino learned about his father. It turns out Cipollone was very ill and could not go for a walk. Cipollino completely fell into despair. He went for a walk and noticed that all the prisoners this time were especially hunched over and despondent. The postman has not come for 10 days. Cipollino walked in a circle, bearing heavy thoughts. But suddenly he heard the quiet voice of the Mole. He asked to stay on the next lap in the same place. Cipollino immediately perked up. To celebrate, he accidentally stepped on the foot of the one in front of him. The prisoner was outraged. Taking the opportunity, Chipollino immediately told him that everything was ready for the prisoners to escape, so he asked to inform all the prisoners about this in a circle. Drummer Limonishka noticed that the prisoners somehow suddenly cheered up. When Chipollino was in his original place, having made a circle, the Mole quietly informed him that the tunnels were ready, and the hole was one step away from him. You just need to jump harder to push through a thin layer of earth. All this Chipollino told the one in front. And as soon as he caught up with the manhole on the next circle, and on the other side of the circle someone yelled loudly, Cipollino strongly pushed the one in front and he immediately fell through the ground. Limonishka did not notice anything, because. distracted by the sound. As a result, only four prisoners remained around the Drummer's Limonishka. Then Cipollino ordered them to run. The prisoners were not long in coming. Cipollino wanted to stay in prison because of his father, but his friends immediately dragged him into the hole by his feet. And after Chipollino, Limonchik rushed into the hole, begging not to leave him to the court of the Prince of Lemon, because. there is no doubt that he will be executed for the escape of the prisoners. The prisoners took pity on the guard and agreed to escape with him. When the other jailers realized that all their prisoners had escaped, they rushed through the passages dug by moles out of the prison. The mole, having learned about the illness of Father Cipollino, with several moles dug an additional passage into Cipollone's cell and the patient was taken out of prison. While the Mole and Cipollino were saving the patient, they did not know that the lemons also decided to run away. Cipollino and Mole thought that the soldiers were chasing them. Therefore, the Mole dug an additional passage in which no one found them. Everyone else fled to the village. In the village, both prisoners and jailers changed into work clothes and turned into ordinary peasants. And the bells from the caps of lemons were handed out to the children.
Chapter 27. Racing with obstacles.
Cipollino escaped in a separate tunnel with several prisoners. And while they roamed underground, on earth, the Lemon Prince decided to entertain his subjects. To do this, he arranged a race with obstacles. Horses were harnessed to chariots with very strong brakes. Lemons gave the command to their horses, but the latter could not move. Then some took advantage of the whip and the horses were able to move a couple of centimeters. Seeing this, Prince Lemon immediately grabbed the whip himself and began frantically whipping the poor horses. Everyone felt sorry for the horses, but it was necessary for the sake of pleasure to pretend to be satisfied spectators. The prince was pleased with his undertaking. But suddenly a crack formed in front of him, then it increased and Chipollino appeared from it. He was angry. He snatched the whip from the prince's hands and hit the Lemon Prince several times with it. The prince turned pale with pain. And then he started to run. Together with him, his lemon soldiers tried to escape. But wagons with brakes won't get you far. Other prisoners also jumped out of the ground. The audience recognized in them who are husbands, who are sons, who are brothers. People rushed to catch lemons and tie their hands. All were caught except Lemon Prince. He managed to jump into his horse-drawn carriage without brakes. The horses carried the carriage so fast that it overturned and the Prince fell into a pile of dung.
Chapter 28. Signor Tomato sets a tax on the weather.
Chapter 29. A storm that never ends.
While Cipollino was presenting his idea to his friends, the author decided to tell about Prince Lemon. He lay all day in the dunghill, because. it was in his opinion the safest place. He decided that in a day his lemon soldiers would put things in order. But the prince did not know that the soldiers had gone over to the side of the people, and therefore a new order, and the country has already been proclaimed a republic. The prince might have continued to lie in the dunghill, but a cold rain began to fall. Then the prince got out of the pile and looked around. It turned out that he was a stone's throw from the castle of Countess Cherry. And quite happy villagers passed by him, despite the pouring rain. The prince knocked on the door of the castle. The strawberry did not recognize the dirty prince and tried to drive him away. But fortunately for the prince, Signor Petrushka passed by. Thanks to him, Prince Lemon was admitted to the castle. It should be noted that by that time the rain had stopped and the bright sun came out. However, when the countesses kindly offered the prince their carriage so that he could return to the capital, the prince categorically declared that he would not go anywhere in such a downpour. The people around had to pretend that there was a thunderstorm and severe bad weather outside the window. To do this, they even closed all the shutters. The prince was so tired that he fell asleep sitting on a chair. Meanwhile, Signor Tomato decided to investigate the situation and went to the village. Signor Peas decided to follow him, Signor Petrushka went to spy on Pea, Mandarin followed Petrushka, and Orange followed Mandarin. So they followed each other around in a circle all night, finding out absolutely nothing. And during this time, at night, Chipollino and Count Cherry hung the Banner of Freedom over the roof of the castle. In other words, all the fears of Signor Tomato regarding a possible revolution in the country came true.
Epilogue, in which Tomato cries a second time.
As soon as Signor Tomato saw the Banner of Liberty, he immediately rushed to the roof. He got so angry and blushed that he doubled his size. Therefore, having reached the place, he could not climb through the door. But he saw the young count and Cipollino. He immediately grabbed his hated enemy by the hair and tore out the whole bunch. He completely forgot that onions make you cry. They splashed from his eyes the size of a large nut. But signor tomato was crying not only because of the onion, but also from impotence. He rushed to his room and wept to his heart's content. Further events began to develop very quickly. Prince Lemon, seeing the Banner of Freedom, went to the once abandoned dunghill. Countess Cherries left immediately. Signor Peas also left the country. Beans stopped serving Baron Orange, pushing the wheelbarrow with his belly. And without Beans, the baron could not move. Therefore, Orange soon lost weight. As soon as he gained the ability to move, he tried to beg. But he was immediately shamed and advised to work as a loader at the station. Now he is slim. Duke Mandarin did not work, but joined Orange and began to live at his expense. Kind Orange could not refuse him. Signor Petrushka became the watchman of the castle. Kum Pumpkin got a job as a gardener in this castle. And his student was Signor Tomato. True, before that, Tomato had to serve in prison for several years. Master Vinogradinka was elected chairman of the village. The castle was handed over to the children. A school, a room for creativity, play rooms and other rooms for children were arranged in it.
This was the summary of the story-tale "The Adventures of Cipollino" by the Italian children's writer Gianni Rodari chapter by chapter.
The protagonist of the fairy tale "The Adventures of Cipollino" is an unusual boy, whose name is Cipollino. Cipollino is an onion, and he lives in a family of onions. He has dad Cipollone, mom and many brothers. One day, Cipollino's father accidentally stepped on the foot of Prince Lemon, and for this he was imprisoned for life. There were many in prison like Cipollone - simple, decent people who did not please Prince Lemon in any way.
During a meeting with his father, Cipollino promised that he would definitely release him from captivity. But his father advised him to go on a journey to learn the mind. And the onion boy went on a journey. In one small village, he met godfather Pumpkin, who had been saving bricks all his life to build his house. He was already quite old when he was able to build a tiny house out of these bricks, no larger than a dog kennel.
He was sitting in this cramped house when Cipollino came up to talk to him. However, their conversation was interrupted by the arrival in the village of Signor Tomato, the manager of Countess Cherry. Signor Tomato began to shout that the house was built illegally and demanded the eviction of pumpkin's godfather. Cipollino called the noisy signor a swindler. He grabbed the onion boy by the head, but immediately burst into tears from the onion smell. Signor Tomato got scared and left in a panic.
And Chipollino remained in the village and began to work in the shoe shop of the master Vinogradinka. Over time, he made many acquaintances - Professor Grusha, Leek and the family of millennia. Kuma Pumpkin was nevertheless evicted from his house and the dog Mastino was put in his place. But Cipollino found a way out. He offered the dog water with sleeping pills, and when he fell asleep, he took him back to the owners, to the castle of Countess Cherries. Kum Pumpkin could live in his house again.
However, the villagers understood that Signor Tomato could take the house again. They decided to hide a small house in the forest, at the godfather of Blueberry. Cipollino and his friends drove the house in a wheelbarrow to the forest. When Signor Tomato found out about the disappearance of the house, he complained to Prince Lemon and he sent Lemon policemen to the village. They arrested all the villagers and locked them in the dungeon of the castle. Cipollino managed to avoid arrest.
Cherry's nephew lived with the owners of the castle, Countess Vishenka. He was brought up in strictness, and was forced to learn lessons all the time. He was not allowed to go to the village school, but was taught by his home teacher, Signor Petrushka, who posted prohibition notices for Cherry all over the park. Walking in the park, Cherry met Chipollino and his girlfriend Radish, who came to find out about the fate of the arrested villagers. Cherry quickly made friends with the village children, but then Signor Tomato saw them, and Cipollino and Radish had to run away.
At night, Cipollino returned to the castle to talk with the maid Strawberry about the arrested, but the dog Mastino grabbed him, and Cipollino also ended up in prison, in a separate cell. However, with the help of the Mole, the onion boy managed to get to his arrested friends through the underground passage, and Signor Tomato was surprised to find that Cipollino had disappeared.
From Strawberry's maid, the boy Cherry learned that Cipollino and his friends were in the castle's prison. He managed to steal the keys to the cell from Signor Tomato and, with the help of Strawberry, freed all the villagers and Cipollino, who fled into the forest.
Then a lot of events happened, including an attempt to capture the castle of Countess Cherries. Cipollino was captured again, and this time he was sent to the city prison. Here he met his father, who had grown very old during his imprisonment.
And again Chipollino was helped by his friend Mole. He brought other moles with him and they dug a large underground passage through which all the prisoners who were in prison escaped. Cipollino and his father were also free. The escaped prisoners staged an uprising and drove out Prince Lemon. Countess Cherry fled with him. And in their castle they arranged the Palace of Children, in which there were not only many different entertainments, but also a school, to which Chipollino himself and his friends gladly went to study.
