The good horse on his rump almost carried him.

Krylov's fable "Oboz" shows us people caught in difficult situation and reacting differently to circumstances - some continue to quietly and intently do their job, while others engage in empty criticism, although they themselves cannot do better.

Fable Convoy read

A convoy walked with pots,
And it is necessary with steep mountain get down.
So, on the mountain, leaving others to wait,
The owner began to lightly move the first cart.
The good horse on his rump almost carried him,
Not letting the cart roll;
And the horse on top, young,
Scolds the poor horse for every step:
“Ah, vaunted horse, what a marvel!
Look: it molds like a cancer;
I almost got caught on a rock; askew! crooked!
Be brave! Here comes the push again.
And here I would just take it to the left.
What an ass! It would be nice to go uphill
Or at night, -
And even downhill, and during the day!
Look, you'll lose patience!
You would be carrying water if you don’t have the skill!
Look at us as we wave!
Don't be afraid, we won't waste a minute,
And we won’t bring our cart, but we’ll roll it!”
Here, arching your spine and straining your chest,
The horse and cart set off;
But she just tumbled downhill,
The cart began to push, the cart rolled;
The horse is pushed back, the horse is thrown sideways;
The horse took off on all four legs
To the glory;
There were tremors along the stones and potholes,
horse racing,
Left, left, and with the cart - crash into the ditch!
Goodbye master pots!



And you will get down to business yourself,
So you'll do twice as bad.

Moral of the fable Oboz

As in people, many have the same weakness:
Everything in another seems like a mistake to us;
And you will get down to business yourself,
So you'll do twice as bad.

Fable Oboz - analysis

The moral of Krylov’s fable “Oboz” can be expressed by a proverb familiar to all of us: “you see a straw in others’ eyes, but you won’t even notice a log in your own.” We encounter critics who are ready to challenge any action of others almost every day, but wise man should not pay attention to them. This is what the Horse did - although he had some flaws, he completed his task - he delivered the cart intact.

But the analysis of Krylov’s fable “Oboz” also touches on the other side of the conflict - the young Horse. She is not negative character, the author says that “many have the same weakness” - that is, in the eyes of all of us, the actions of other people often seem ridiculous and meaningless. But once we find ourselves in their position, we find ourselves even worse. How often do you have to be ashamed of your own criticism when it turns out to be untrue! Hence the conclusion - before judging, you need to put yourself in the place of another person, try to imagine - can I do better than him?

Moral in your own words, the main idea and meaning of the Oboz fable

It's easy to criticize when you're just watching. And once you get down to business yourself, you will make even more mistakes.

Analysis of the fable Oboz

Fable by I.A. Krylov's "Oboz" teaches us that anyone can give advice to another on any matter, but as soon as he tries to do it himself, it is likely that he will not be able to do everything perfectly - the way he wanted it another did. Last quatrain clearly expresses the whole moral of this fable, which says that you should not listen to all kinds of advisers.

The horse in the fable identifies exactly the person who likes to give advice and criticize to everyone. But as soon as she harnessed herself, she did not manage to walk even a few steps before the owner’s pots were broken, and the entire cart ended up in a ditch.

Under the image of the horse was hidden the image of a man who does everything himself, but those around him, who believe that they know everything better than him, distract him from his work with their advice and moralizing.

Having transferred this fable to people, we can conclude that everyone can criticize, give advice and valuable instructions, and many people like to do this, but a truly smart and wise person should not listen to such advisers and pay attention to them, because they themselves As a rule, they may not understand anything about this activity and give advice only with the aim of increasing their own authority in the eyes of others.

He talks about a horse that laughs at another cautious one. And when she herself begins to transport the convoy, she breaks the pots.

Listen to Krylov's fable Oboz

The fable concerns the strategy and tactics of Kutuzov in the Patriotic War of 1812. The commander was subjected to constant attacks from Alexander I and the military youth due to evasion of decisive battles under the walls of Moscow and after its surrender to Napoleon, Krylov justified the unhurried but thoughtful actions of Kutuzov, due, as the fabulist understood, lead to complete collapse Napoleon, and condemned the orders of Alexander I, who hurried Kutuzov and pushed him to blunders and mistakes. No less annoying for Kutuzov were the murmurs and bitter complaints of his young associates. Probably, Krylov did not know about the words spoken by the old field marshal to the Prince of Württemberg: “Our young hot heads are indignant at the old man that I hold back their impulses. They do not pay attention to the circumstances, which do much more than what our weapons could do.” All the more significant is the historical, political and military intuition of Krylov, whose fable protected Kutuzov and his plan from the attacks of inexperienced young people. Their patriotic feelings were understandable, but this did not make them any more true.
Thus, by the image of a “good horse,” Krylov meant Kutuzov with his caution and restraint in repelling the Napoleonic invasion.

If you get down to business yourself, you'll end up doing something twice as bad. - A transparent allusion to Alexander I, through whose fault it was lost Battle of Austerlitz.

OBOZ
A convoy walked with pots,
And you have to go down a steep mountain.
So, on the mountain, leaving others to wait,
The owner began to lightly move the first cart.
The good horse on his rump almost carried him,
Not letting the cart roll;
And the horse on top, young,
Scolds the poor horse for every step:
“Ah, vaunted horse, what a marvel!
Look: it molds like a cancer;
I almost got caught on a rock; askew! crooked!
Be brave! Here comes the push again.
And here I would just take it to the left.
What an ass! It would be nice to go uphill
Or at night, -
And even downhill, and during the day!
Look, you'll lose patience!
You would be carrying water if you don’t have the skill!
Look at us as we wave!
Don't be afraid, we won't waste a minute,
And we won’t bring our cart, but we’ll roll it!”
Here, arching your spine and straining your chest,
The horse and cart set off;
But she just tumbled downhill,
The cart began to push, the cart rolled;
The horse is pushed back, the horse is thrown sideways;
The horse took off on all four legs
To the glory
Over stones, potholes; there were tremors
horse racing,
Left, left, and with the cart - crash into the ditch!
Goodbye master pots!
As in people, many have the same weakness:
Everything in another seems like a mistake to us;
And you will get down to business yourself,
So you'll do twice as bad.

Read by A.Ktorov

Ivan Andreevich Krylov (February 2, 1769, Moscow - November 9, 1844, St. Petersburg) - Russian poet, fabulist, translator, employee of the Imperial Public library, State Councilor, Full member of the Imperial Russian Academy(1811), ordinary academician Imperial Academy Sciences in the Department of Russian Language and Literature (1841).
In his youth, Krylov was known primarily as a satirist writer, publisher of the satirical magazine “Mail of Spirits” and the parody tragicomedy “Trumph”, which ridiculed Paul I. Krylov was the author of more than 200 fables from 1809 to 1843, they were published in nine parts and were reprinted in very large editions for those times. In 1842 his works were published in German translation. The plots of many fables go back to the works of Aesop and La Fontaine, although there are many original plots.
Many expressions from Krylov's fables have become popular expressions.
I. A. Krylov’s fables were set to music, for example, by A. G. Rubinstein - the fables “The Cuckoo and the Eagle”, “The Donkey and the Nightingale”, “The Dragonfly and the Ant”, “Quartet”.

Misha (16:16:00 11/10/2010):
The moral of the fable "Oboz" - with this fable I. Krylov ridicules inflated swagger, self-importance, boasting, the desire to excel in the absence of the right to do so.
At the end of the fable, the author’s moral sounds - a moral teaching that expresses the main meaning of the work:

As in people, many have the same weakness:
Everything in another seems like a mistake to us;
And you will get down to business yourself,
So you'll do twice as bad.

IN last words there is a hidden hint about the defeat of Alexander I in the Battle of Austerlitz (the Russian army there was commanded by the Tsar himself).

Kamila (16:14:18 12/07/2011):
Olga, this is for you: “Misha, apparently, loves history and presented the fable not through a moral, but as a historical perception of its meaning through a specific example, you shouldn’t judge someone, everyone has their own vision. That’s what he has))” Personally I liked your statements Michelle. Thank you)))

Diana (12:44:18 10/30/2011):
maybe this will help someone in some way: Krylov here justifies Kutuzov’s cautious tactics and the apparent slowness of his actions, which caused displeasure on the part of Alexander I, who demanded more decisive measures. In a rescript addressed to the commander-in-chief, received by Kutuzov a few days before the Battle of Tarutino, Alexander I indicated that Kutuzov could “attack the enemy with benefit... and destroy him,” while emphasizing that Kutuzov must show “decisiveness and activity” ( M. Bogdanovich, “History Patriotic War 1812”, vol. II, p. 487). However, Kutuzov’s wise and prudent tactics soon paid off. The words in the final moral teaching, “If you get down to business yourself, you will punish twice worse,” were probably an evil allusion to Alexander I, who, commanding the army in the war with Napoleon in 1805-1807, suffered a number of defeats due to his improvidence and haste.

Katya (15:40:16 10/10/2012):
help me write a story on any topic, ending it with the fable of the “convoy train” fable, otherwise I can’t please

Anastasia Fiks (20:59:51 08/26/2015):
The moral of this fable is this... in general, the author justifies Kutuzov’s not hasty, but thoughtful actions.

Valentina (19:45:45 09/10/2015):
The moral of the fable is that you should not judge people for their actions, criticize their actions. In life, this can be useful when people, without knowing about a matter, without ever experiencing it themselves, teach others. And as soon as they have the opportunity to do this themselves, everything only gets worse.

not important (16:08:28 10/15/2015):
historical basis of the fable wagon train where to find the project

Sona (16:34:50 13/01/2016):
In life, we constantly encounter situations similar to that one. what is described in the fable. For example, fans often scold athletes who make mistakes and, sitting in the stands or in front of the TV, give them various advice. But it’s clear that if you put them out on the field, they won’t succeed at all. The fable teaches thoughtfulness, the ability to correctly assess one’s strengths and distribute them, and also warns against hasty advice.
