(legend)
On the shores of the Black Sea, where the Caucasus Mountains rise from the shore to the sky, there lived in a stone hut an old woman named Anisya. The hut stood among a flower field in which roses grew. In the old days, there was also a flower field here, and then Anisya worked in floriculture, but now she has not worked for a long time and lives in retirement and eats the bread that is brought to her from the collective farm, like an old, respectable person. Not far from the flower field there was a beekeeper, and beekeeper Grandfather Ulyan also lived there for a long time. However, grandfather Ulyan said that when he was still young and came to the Caucasian side, Anisya was already an old grandmother and no one then knew how old Anisya was and since when she had been living in the world. Anisya herself couldn’t say this either, because she forgot. She only remembered that in her time the mountains were young and not covered with forest. This is what she once said to one traveler, and he published her words in his book. But the traveler died long ago, and everyone forgot his book.
Grandfather Ulyan came once a year to visit Anisya; he brought her honey, mended her shoes, checked to see if the bucket was thin, and rearranged the tiles on the roof of the hut so that the rain would not penetrate inside the dwelling.
Then they sat on a stone at the entrance to the dwelling and had a heart-to-heart talk. Old Ulyan knew that he would hardly come to visit Anisya the next year: he was already very old and knew that it was time for him to die.
The last time Ulyan saw Anisya, he noticed that the iron temple of the glasses that Anisya wore had become thin, weaker than a thread, and was about to break - the temple had worn out over time on the bridge of Anisya’s nose. Then Ulyan strengthened the bow with wire so that the glasses would still serve and through them you could look at everything that is in the world.
“What, Grandma Anisya, you and I have reached the end of our life span,” said Ulyan.
“But no, my deadline is not over,” Anisya responded, “I have something to do here, I’m expecting my son.” Until he returns, I must live.
“Well, live,” Ulyan agreed. - I have to go.
- Since it’s time, why are you living for nothing! - said Anisya. - I’m here on business, what are you doing?
“Or maybe you’re waiting in vain for your son,” said Ulyan. - After all, when did you have him and where did he go! Nobody remembers him. His bones must have melted away in the abyss, and the wind carried away his ashes long ago. Where will you find your son now?
The old Anisya became angry here and ordered Ulyan to leave her.
“My son is far away, but my heart feels him and cannot die while he is alive.” He will return to me himself, and I will wait for him. And you go home, you are living in vain.
Ulyan left and soon died of old age, and Anisya remained to live and wait for her son.
Her son Timosha ran away from home when he was still small, and Anisya was young, and since then Timosha has not returned to his mother. Every morning he ran away from home to the mountains to play there, talk to the stones of the mountains that responded to his voice, and catch colorful butterflies.
By noon, Anisya went out onto the path leading into the mountains and called to her son:
- Timosha, Timosha!.. You got busy playing and running around again, and you forgot about me.
And her son responded to her from afar:
“Now, mom, I’ll just catch one butterfly.”
He caught butterflies and returned to his mother. At home, he showed the butterfly and grieved that it no longer flies, but only walks quietly, little by little.
- Mom, why doesn’t she fly? – Timosha asked, fingering the butterfly’s wings. - Let her fly better. Will she die now?
“He won’t die and won’t live,” said the mother. “She needs to fly to live, but you caught her and took her in your hands, wiped her wings, and she became sick... Don’t catch them!”
“I need it,” said Timosha’s son. “I wanted to see why she was like that.”
- What is she like to you! - said the mother. – Butterfly and butterfly, there are many of them.
- And this one is the best.
- And there is probably something even better, even more elegant than this one.
“And as soon as I see them, I’ll catch them and catch them,” Timosha’s son promised.

Working on the content of the text
Guys, who are the main characters? (Anisya, Timosha)
Where did Anisya live, read the excerpt? (On the shore of the Black Sea...roses grew.)
How old was Anisya?(one and a half centuries)
Why do you think Anisya was angry with Ulyan?
(
because he said that her son died a long time ago)
Why did Timoshka run away from home every morning? (he caught butterflies)
Why didn’t the butterflies fly anymore if Timosha caught them?
Let's remember the episode where it says how Timosha left his mother. (Every day.....)
Guys, where did the path in the mountains come from?
Find a description of the butterfly.
Why did Timosha run after the butterfly?
Why does Timosha want to catch a butterfly and then a star?
(To Timoshucaptivated by beautya magnificent butterfly, and then beckonsgood lightblinking star. Many temptations arise before a child discovering the world! And Timosha is ready to “talk to the stones of the mountains that respond to his voice.” Stretching out his hand for the shining butterfly, the boy invites her: “Let’s talk!”)
What happened to Timosha when he wanted to grab the star?
-What did Timosha do with the sparrow?
-How do you evaluate his actions? (episode reading)
Is it possible to do this?
- Why did the boy start scratching the mountain with his nails?
What events could happen next to Timosha?
Why are Timosha's hobbies dangerous?
(Struck by something new, beautiful, unusual, Timosha renounces what was dear to him before. “And I’ll grab a star!” thought Timosha. “The star is even better, but now I don’t need butterflies.” In the multicolored palette of the world, the boy A new color opens, but other colors fade away - one instead of the other. In pursuit of butterflies, Timosha forgets about his mother. Having rushed to the stars, he is ready to forget the butterflies. Timosha tries to enjoy the beauty, appropriating it: “I will catch only one butterfly, the best, the last ". Then he turns out to be unable to keep the beautiful in his soul: “And I’ll grab a star!”)
-How do you understand your mother’s words: “Let everything be, then you will be too”?
( Kinship , according to the writer, connects everyone on earth. Breaking this connection can lead to disaster. Little Timosha, not knowing what he was doing, stepped onto a dangerous path. Remember how Anisya says, turning to her son: “Let there be butterflies, and mountains, and stars, and you will be with me. Let everything be, then you will be too.”
Denoting the circle of unshakable values, the author writes about his hero: “He forgot about the earth, reached out with his hands to the sky with the stars and stepped with his feet into the abyss.” Having lost everything, at the bottom of the abyss Timosha will remember the coolness of his mother’s house and call in the stony silence: “Mom!” “Timosha worked for whole years... and he still had a long way to go home through the stone.”

What does Timosha do to return home?
( Works , dismantles stones.)
Why is a drop of dew on a blade of grass called “little pure light”?
(In Platonov’s world, everything is alive. Even a lonely blade of grass is endowed with a face, a soul: “Her head looked out from under the cliff at the one who walked on the ground, and a small pure light shone on her face.”)
Who in the story “neither lives nor dies”?
(The question brings the guys back to the title of the story. Yes, this is a butterfly that the boy caught. “She needs to fly to live.”
And who lives and does not die despite the tragic circumstances of fate?
(Mother. And Timosha.)
Why?
What does a person need to live?
What saves Timosha from darkness and the pitch abyss?
( Love, memory . Timosha is saved from the darkness and catastrophic hopelessness of the stone abyss by the memory of his mother and love for her: her voice sounds in his heart, he stretches out his hands towards his home. “Timosha cried in response to his mother’s quiet voice, audible only to him, and he hammered and crushed the stone mountain even more diligently.” He will survive, although he will go to his mother as a blind old man.
Love makes the incredible possible: Anisya lived for a century and a half, waiting for her son. “Until he returns, I must live,” she says to old Ulyan. The mother waited for her son and gave him life for the second time: Timosha, who spent many years in a dungeon and turned into an old man, again becomes a little boy.)
Find a passage at the end of the story that tells how Timosha knocked down the last stones in the mountain and came out to the light to his mother. Read it using the correct intonation.
(The last 6 paragraphs are read expressively by three students.)
Use a quotation to identify the main idea of this passage.
(“The mother’s life with her love passed on to her son, and he became a child again.”)
What role did mom play in Timosha’s life? What was the most important thing in life for him?
(Love for mother, desire to be with her.)
What does A. Platonov convince the reader of with the story “The Multi-Colored Butterfly”?
(Love is the beginning of all beginnings. Kinship, memory, love, work turn out to be forces that save a person in Platonov.)
Is the end of the story bitter or happy for you? (Written answer to the question.)
(A dispute may arise in class.
This is a tragedy: the mother dies and the son is left alone. He was orphaned.
No, this is not a tragedy. The mother waited for her son and breathed her life into him.
- The end of the story is happy, because Timosha felt small, his mother gave him a second life.)

Lesson summary.
In life, each of you will have a dream, like that colorful butterfly that captivated Timosha. Whatever your dream, do not forget that there is nothing on earth stronger and more devoted than maternal love.
A. Platanov tried to find the answer to the question: what is most important for a person, what is the basis of life, its meaning. The main idea of the legend: any creature, be it a person, a plant or an animal, fights for life, life on earth is sometimes difficult, joyless, but dear to any living creature.
Reflection. The guys, on pre-prepared pieces of paper in the shape of flowers, write down things without which, in their opinion, a full life is impossible. Their work is written on the board. The teacher summarizes what the children have written.
I wish you to have a cherished dream in your life and that it comes true, but at the same time, that each of you does not forget about your family and friends, about your home.
R. Gamzatov.
Don't leave mothers alone
They grow old from loneliness.

I liked this story and found it very touching. The boy Timosha was wrong when, forgetting that his mother was waiting for him, he began to chase a butterfly.

Read the summary, a brief retelling of the fairy tale "The Multi-Colored Butterfly"
On the shores of the Black Sea at the foot of high mountains lived an old woman named Anisya. Her hut stood in the middle of a flower field, and the beekeeper Grandfather Ulyan lived nearby. He didn’t know how old Anisya was, but he heard that she remembered how the mountains were very young and were not covered with forest.
Ulyan often came to Anisya and helped with the housework. For the last time, he fixed her glasses and told her that his time was up. But Anisya said that her due date had not yet come, because she was expecting a son. But Ulyan soon died and Anisya was left alone.
When Anisya was young, she had a son, Timosha, who was very fond of catching butterflies. He ran after butterflies and often forgot about his mother. He brought home butterflies and was sad that they no longer flew. And his mother explained to him that this was because he took them in his hands and rubbed his wings.
Timosha often went to the mountains along an old path that went from mountain to mountain into the sky. Once upon a time, a man who was tired of people went to heaven along it.
And there, on the path, Timosha once saw a large and beautiful butterfly. He wanted to talk to her, but the butterfly flew onto a boulder. The butterfly flew into the mountains, and Timosha ran after it. Night fell and he heard his mother calling him, but he replied that he would return as soon as he caught a butterfly.
He ran up the path and climbed the highest mountain. The butterfly was nowhere to be found, but a star was shining very close by. Timosha wanted to grab the star, reached out and fell into the abyss.
Timosha found himself at the bottom of the abyss, where a small stream flowed into the lake. It was hot and stuffy there, and there were steep cliffs all around. Butterflies fluttered over the flowers, but Timosha didn’t even look at them. He sat down by the rock and began to scratch it with his nails to get to his mother.
Many years later. Timosha has grown up. He used a sharp stone to chisel the rocks, but over the years he only carved out a small cave. He never caught butterflies again, and his mother’s voice sounded weaker and weaker in his heart. And yet he tirelessly chiseled at the rock.
And his mother looked at the stars and it seemed to her that her son was running there, among the Milky Way. She called him to come back, but Timosha did not come.
Years have passed. Timosha became a gray-haired old man. And then one day he heard the clinking of buckets through the stone. He screamed and his mother heard his voice. She asked who was calling her, but Timosha replied that he had forgotten who he was. He broke through the last barrier and emerged from the rock. Anisya saw a gray-haired blind old man and hugged him.
Anisya regretted that she did not raise her son, that she did not have time to caress him. And Timosha promised that he would always be with her. But Anisya said that she was already old and would die soon. She pressed her son to her chest and wanted her breath to go to her son, so that her love would become his strength and life.
And suddenly she felt that her son had become small and light, and she was holding him in her arms.
And Anisya died happy.
