If Lukyan from the story “Miracle” had not been inquisitive, he would never have opened the encyclopedia and plunged into the world of physics and its phenomena, would not have known what “dispersion” and “caustics” are. The hero would not have been able to understand the essence of his disease and cope with the fear that he experienced in front of myopia.
I can also call myself inquisitive: I am interested in subjects that are not included in the school curriculum, for example astronomy. I have a whole collection of books about constellations and planets, which I re-read with pleasure, each time discovering something new for myself, and in the summer we often take a telescope to the dacha and observe celestial bodies.
Curiosity truly opens new doors to the world of knowledge. This is a wonderful and very useful quality of a person.
Text for work
(1) Lukyan was an unusual boy. (2) In the sixth grade, he was diagnosed with progressive myopia - a disease that prohibits active games and sports. (3) It can at once wipe out all the joy in the life of a simple schoolchild. (4) But this, fortunately, did not happen. (5) “Failures,” he once heard from his mother, “are sent to us in order to make us better understand ourselves and the meaning of what is happening.” (b) Lukyan took the task of “understanding the meaning of what is happening” literally. (7) And when, as a sentence, glasses with thick lenses sat tightly on his thin bridge of the nose, he took the encyclopedic dictionary from the shelf of his mother’s books and found in it the article “Myopia.” (8) Ten lines of the definition were based on six words unfamiliar to him. (9) Lukyan made himself more comfortable in the chair and immersed himself in reading. (10) “Curiosity opens new doors,” and here mom was right. (And) The Encyclopedia turned out to be a world full of discoveries. (12) The structure of the human eye and the phenomena of optics absorbed the young researcher entirely. (13) Newton, Huygens, Maxwell became his best friends; the world of physics seemed more interesting to him than any fiction. (14) And the most complex and amazing phenomenon in this world turned out to be light for Lukyan.
(15) “Everything around is filled with it,” he shared his knowledge with his mother, “all the colors that you see are vibrations of light of different frequencies, and our eyes are complex sets of light-sensitive rods and cones... (16) You said I think that a rainbow is a miracle of nature. (17) And a rainbow is simply a dispersion of white light. (18) And the northern lights are not a miracle, but the luminescence of the upper layers of the atmosphere...
(19) “It’s time for your eyes to rest,” mom smiled. (20) - My miracle, I turn off the light!
(21) Lukyan lay down on the pillow and sternly remarked:
Mom, there are no miracles in the world at all. (22) We simply accept for them what we cannot explain.
(23) The space of a small apartment became for Lukyan a set of illustrations for the knowledge acquired. (24) “Interference,” he noted, watching the rainbow play of soap bubbles in the sink. (25) Looking at the intricate intersections of rays playing on the table near a transparent glass of water, I rejoiced: “Caustic”!
(26) Mom was proud of her son. (27) And she was especially pleased that, while other teenagers were entering an acute period of constant quarrels with their parents, skipping classes and disobedience, Lukyan became more and more flexible. (28) He began to obediently go to bed at the appointed hour, almost stopped watching TV and even began to help her around the house more, more often leaving his textbooks aside.
(29) But the boy’s new behavior was not caused by his desire to please his mother.
(30) For several months now, Lukyan had been noticing strange, frightening effects, the reasons for which he could not find in books: around all light sources - light bulbs, candles, lights on the streets - he saw a strange rainbow glow, unpleasant “flies” began to circle before his eyes more and more often , and in the evenings the pages of encyclopedias seemed to be covered with a gray, cloudy veil. (31) My head ached more and more often, and the pain radiated into my eyes, making it difficult to concentrate.
(32) The worried boy tried to rest more.
(33) Gradually, the veil before my eyes began to converge into a ring, as if someone was narrowing the diameter of the lenses of the already faulty binoculars through which Lukyan looked at the world. (34) The boy went to bed, but tossed and turned for a long time. (Zb) Thoughts that he unsuccessfully tried to drive away did not allow him to sleep: “What’s wrong with me?..”
(Zb) Lukyan remembered that everything unknown is frightening, and in the evenings he covered his head with a blanket and peered into the black space in front of him, as if trying to get to know it better. (37) “But in fact, darkness does not exist; there is no such concept in physics. (38) You, darkness, are simply the absence of light. (39) You're not here! (40) You can’t be afraid of what doesn’t exist!..”
(41) But fear took its toll: Lukyan threw off the blanket, groped for his glasses, put them on and glared at the strip of light under the bedroom door. (42) Its scattered radiance weakly spread across the floor, as if crushed by the weight of the night. (43) “What if one day,” Lukyan thought with horror, “darkness swallows up all my light?..”
(44) This thought, which at first seemed stupid and childish to him, lifted the boy out of bed.
(45) - Mom, I have to tell you something. (46) It seems to me that I am losing my sight...
(47) The doctor announced the results of the examination carefully, as if apologizing:
(48) - You know, with myopia, glaucoma behaves very insidiously, often without giving anything away. (49) Your boy is simply a miracle that he insisted on the reception. (50) Surgery is needed. (51) First we will do it on one eye, then on the other. (52) It takes a little time...
(53) When the bandage was removed from the left eye, the one that was operated on first, Lukyan carefully opened it. (54) He blinked, getting rid of the slight pain caused by the light of the lamp. (55) Covered his eyes one by one with his palm. (56) The rings of the dark veil, visible with the right eye, were no longer seen by the left. (57) The chamber was filled with pure, even white light, unfettered by darkness.
(58) The boy looked at his mother and met her alarmed gaze, frozen in a silent question: “How are you?”
(59) “This is some kind of miracle, mom,” the boy’s lips trembled, and he leaned into her arms. (60) - A real miracle!
(According to O. Pavlova)
