What does the proverb “Pick one berry at a time and you’ll get a whole bunch” mean?
Don’t be alarmed that it’s taking a long time to get things done, and there’s still a lot to be done. With small steps, quietly, you can move mountains! You need patience and perseverance in any task, as in picking berries - the berries are small, but they still fill up the box.
Pick one berry at a time - there will be a box,
Roll up your white sleeve higher.
Carefully place it on the bottom
Take a closer look at the next one and pick another one,
If there is nothing to do and it is light in the forest
Collect slowly - everything will be yours.
And let other people hurry up.
Let them grab handfuls and flicker
Let the tired ones flee from the forest later,
To sell on the highway, but outside the city.
Let them get the money again
They are hastily collecting everything.
They don’t understand, they are vain, what the thrill will be here.
Let them spend their money on candy heaven.
On a quiet evening, put some jam
Tell your grandson about forest meetings.
Berries with sourness lie on the bread,
The juicy aroma beckons to the forest again,
Collect a box full of berries,
The juice of the native land is used by wise people for future use.
In fact, this proverb says that any task is done completely slowly and carefully, slowly and without haste, and the word full body indicates that the task will be done, but what happens is that it is thoughtful and not hasty.
Any task can always be done, and if initially it seems complicated and difficult, then there is no need to be upset, because any consistent action leads to a successful result.
Sometimes you need to wait for a positive result for some time and it happens that the result is delayed, but in this case, you just need to show restraint and everything will always work out. And patience will be an important factor.
A very good proverb, the meaning of which is that the biggest and greatest things are done gradually. I classify proverbs like this into the group that describe the transition from quantity to quality, a principle that I have professed since my student years and which works in 100% of cases, it’s just that sometimes you have to wait longer for the desired result, and sometimes it comes faster. The example with BV seems to me to be very successful, but not complete. Strictly following this proverb, it is not necessary to chase exclusively multi-star questions; it is enough to answer questions that are not very popular, and as soon as a certain number of them accumulate, the box will be full, and the earnings will become decent.
The proverb “Pick one berry at a time and you’ll get a whole bunch” means that Patience and labor will grind everything down. That is, that only painstaking, hard work can lead to the expected result.
Write and write about the question, you'll see - you'll earn a Stakhanovite. 🙂 A new proverb has been born!
A big thing is divided into several small ones and done in parts, gradually, you look - that’s how it’s done. It’s the same with picking berries: you pick one at a time and after a while the bucket is full. That is, every small movement forward brings a person closer to his cherished goal, which he persistently achieves. And small things are parts of a big thing.
The proverb about the berry and the box sets a person up for calm, leisurely work. It means: Even if you do little, you will end up doing a lot.
Let's imagine that we went into the forest to pick berries and took an empty box with us. They want to do it with their hands, but their eyes are afraid. The berries are small, but the box is large. Well, when will it be full? It seems like never. And we want to do something (for example, pick handfuls of berries) or quit this work, not start.
But we can think like this for a very long time. Until very late in the evening. And then it gets dark, and we return home with the same empty box, without having picked any berries. They warm up in handfuls when you tear them up. I don’t want to tear one thing at a time. But if we have patience and courage, and still start the job calmly and leisurely, then the box will imperceptibly be filled with intact berries.
There is a proverb that has a similar meaning: A crust by the grain of a peck. The meaning of this proverb is that a patient and consistent person, as a result of his painstaking and persistent work, will definitely achieve the desired result.
This proverb means that you should not be lazy to do at least some good deed or at least some small work. After all, a little bit of everything will make a lot. This proverb especially applies to this site - the Big Question. After all, if you write very little here, you won’t earn anything. And if you are not lazy to write a lot, you will start earning money.
- Select all the proverbs from the story and explain their meaning. How do they help understand the main idea of the work? Do you agree that Shergin wanted to express his love for folk culture?
Work loves not the good guy, but the lazy one. If a person is hardworking, then his work will go well.
The eyes are afraid, the hands are doing. It is said when you have to take on work with no end in sight.
A mosquito won't hurt your nose. Nothing to complain about.
Pick one berry at a time and you'll get a box. Doing a little at a time will get the job done.
- Discuss the expression "A mosquito can't hurt your nose" with a friend. Explain its meaning. Record your conversation.
How do you understand the expression “a mosquito can’t hurt your nose”?
- R The work is so perfect that not the slightest flaw can be found in it.
Choose a synonym for the proverb.
- Impeccable, ideal, flawless, exemplary, perfect, invulnerable.
Do you know where this expression came from??
- In the old days, one of the most respected professions was that of a joiner and carpenter. At that time in Rus', buildings were made of wood, furniture, and some of the tools. In general, wood products were everywhere. And the most skilled craftsmen were considered those who could fit the parts to each other so that there was no gap or crack left.

About the proverbs “Pick one berry at a time and you’ll get a bag,” “If you don’t bend down to the ground, the fungus won’t get into the box,” they only said very briefly that you need to be hardworking and know how to work. The children did not actually compose stories, but only revealed the meaning of proverbs. They did not come up with any actions and actions of children or people in work to justify these proverbs, and they did not say anything about the importance of work in people’s lives.
At the third stage of the ascertaining experiment, we conducted a survey of parents in order to determine the importance for parents of the formation of moral feelings in children.
The parent survey included the following questions:
Are you happy about your child's help?
Do they help you in everyday life, at the dacha, in general affairs?
Are your loved ones or neighbors happy about your child’s help?
What feelings does the ability to help people develop?
Does your child have friends in the yard, among the children of your acquaintances?
Do children care about each other? And your child personally?
How long have you been reading fairy tales and stories about kindness, friendship, and sensitivity to your child?
Do you remember proverbs and sayings about kindness, modesty, sensitivity, friendship, love?
What elements of folk wisdom are contained in them, and what feelings arise from this?
How often do you go out into nature with your child, go to the library and hobby groups?
Do you tell your child about the city, region, country, and the world around you?
What impressions does a child have from walks by the sea, in the forest, from trips to other cities?
Do you teach your child what holidays we have in our homeland?
Do you allow your child to keep animals or birds at home?
What moral feelings, in your opinion, develop during contact with peers and friends in games and hobbies?
What feelings develop when caring for pets?
What does working together with your child mean to you?
And what moral feelings are generated by a child’s frequent interaction with a book? What books would you like to read with your child?
Does your child already have a desire to visit the library?
Analyzing the answers, we determined that parents almost never ask their children to help them, that children do not have permanent responsibilities at home, few people take care of animals, and only a few people keep rare birds and purebred dogs. Due to their heavy workload, parents do not have time to visit corners of nature, the library, museums with their child; some parents do not even know whether the child has strong friends to whom he strives. Most parents, of course, take great care of their children, buying them books and toys, but few try to determine in advance the moral benefits of what they read. They rarely tell children about their hometown, country, holidays, explaining this by lack of time. And although some parents have already taken care of their son or daughter’s hobbies, others said: “He will choose a hobby when he grows up.” A sufficient number of parents have not yet thought about the moral feelings of their children, believing that their child is familiar with the general rules of behavior, and the rest will be done in the process of education in kindergarten. Some parents said “that their child is already very kind and sympathetic, but this is often not worth doing.”
It is clear from the responses that children, in this regard, do not strive to help their parents in their work, know little about fiction describing the education of moral feelings, about possible hobbies, about the city, homeland, have few friends, do not show special care and sensitivity to pets , do not often try to help other children and people.
More than half of parents do not know what moral feelings are and how they should be formed by the senior preschool age. Not all parents realize that in order to develop such feelings as kindness, responsiveness, sensitivity, mutual assistance, hard work, empathy, compassion, friendliness, love for the homeland, it is necessary to create the most favorable conditions in the family.
Based on the content of the responses from the conversations and analysis of observations of the children of the experimental group in the lesson “Work in the Library”, of the children’s independent play activities, as well as of completing tasks and exercises on composing a story about a book hero and composing a story using proverbs that carry a moral meaning, we identified indicators of the level of formation of moral feelings of preschoolers, which in our study serve as criteria for assessing the formation of moral feelings of older preschoolers:
Indicators of a child’s moral behavior:
shows kindness and sensitivity to children and people,
does he care about his comrades, about younger children,
does it help adults?
rejoices at the success of friends,
does he show concern for older people?
Does he value the trust of others?
Is he polite to people around him?
Does he show pity or compassion for animals?
doesn’t he boast about his skills and successes,
can we agree on joint activities, mutual assistance,

What did Vanya ask his grandmother about? Find and read in the text
In what cases do they say this?
What kind of work will Mitya be talking about if we know that he is a parquet floor worker?
Let's read the text. We take a simple pencil and, as we read, underline unfamiliar words. We read from the words “Mitya is an artist...” to 2 lines p. 125) - to the words “I won’t have time for anything” (p. 126)
Take card number 1. Ask a question-concept based on unfamiliar words that appear in the text in
Children try to discover the meaning of each word.
And here is the definition given in Ozhigov’s dictionary:
Wood - obtained from wood
Cinnamon tree-
Cinnamon tree, cinnamon - a genus of trees and shrubs from the laurel family, which has more than 250 species, native to tropical and subtropical Asia
Academy - higher scientific or artistic institution
- “Work loves not the good guy, but the lazy one”
- “The eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing.”
They talk about the approach to doing some work.
We will talk about laying out wooden parquet.
What is the tree species called?
What is the essence of the word beautiful?
What is a cinnamon tree?
Take card No. 2. Ask a question in pairs - a judgment based on what you read in pairs. Who (which couple) do you want to ask it to?
How can we explain that Mitya was at first happy about the order, and then scared?
What caused Mitya's mood to deteriorate?

The joy of being entrusted with important work.
The joy of presenting the completed work. He sees the work completed and admires it.
Frightened - he will not have time to complete the work on time.
How was this contradiction resolved?
Read the dialogue between the master and Mitya in pairs.
Why didn’t the master scold Mitya?
What is the value of his position?
Dialogue between Mitya and the master - skit by 2 students.
He believed Mitya and suggested how to do the job better.
When doing any job, you can make mistakes. What is important is faith in a person, in his strength to overcome obstacles.
Let's continue working in fours.
Tasks: Bloom's cube with 1 question for each group of four and 2 for everyone together
- Explain why is the expression your grandmother made from songs, from proverbs, a metaphor in the form of an inference (card No. 6)
- Name all the proverbs found in the story and explain their meaning.
- Suggest argument in defense of Mitya's work in the text.
- Come up with new title for the story
Since a metaphor is a hidden comparison built on the similarity of objects, and the grandmother is compared with songs and proverbs, therefore the expression made from songs and made from proverbs is a metaphor.
The eyes are afraid, the hands are doing. Work loves not a young man, but a lazy man. Pick one berry at a time and you'll fill a box.
The board turned into a blooming garden. Mitya has golden hands. The master admired the work for a long time.
The master's work is afraid.

Homework
Draw a picture based on the text of the story
Since ancient times, collecting berries, as well as other gifts from the forest, has been a task for those members of the tribe who were unable to cope with more labor-intensive work. If the men were busy hunting and building shelters from bad weather, the women, the keepers of the hearth, could not only butcher the mammoth, but also sew clothes and bring firewood for this very hearth, the children went for the easiest prey. Of course, it is so difficult to name the berries that they were looking for in the dense thicket, however, this vegetation does not bite, does not run away from people, and it is easy to bring it to their homes.
Everyone knows that children are curious and restless people. It was always difficult for them to concentrate on finding berries. In addition, the search for edible gifts of nature is a tricky science, and without special knowledge, finding edibles and not getting poisoned in the forest is not easy. Old men taught the children. They revealed the secrets of the berry meadows, taught survival, and also gave moral instructions so that the youth worked for the good of the tribe, and did not have fun while walking.
Such a quiet hunt aroused respect among his fellow tribesmen. Gatherers were considered guests of the forest. People have preserved sayings and jokes that say that a person bows to every berry and every mushroom. He expresses his gratitude to nature.
Over the centuries, interest in berries has not disappeared, but the veneration of forests, secured by transferring them into the ownership of landowners, has greatly changed its form. One of the main tasks that began to be solved when sending young people to pick berries was fighting the bad habit of eating berries on the spot. The hay girls, suffering from vitamin deficiency, did not want to bring baskets of berries to the ladies and preferred to gorge themselves on this delicacy for future use. The problem was solved elegantly: while picking berries, the girls had to sing songs - it would please their ears, they wouldn’t get lost in the forest, and they wouldn’t be able to eat berries on both cheeks.
The meaning of phraseology
As mentioned above, learning to pick berries was an important and difficult process. Only after the child succeeded in this socially important work did he begin to master new crafts. This phraseological unit sounds like the first recommendation of an older member of the tribe to his very young relative. Mentors often suggest building on previous experience. That’s exactly how they proposed to use the skills acquired while picking berries, and they created this well-established phrase.
This phraseological unit means that To achieve a positive result you need to be patient. Any task must be done carefully, paying attention to the little things that will make up the final product. Don’t miss the opportunity to improve the result, make additional adjustments, or rush.
A phraseological unit is used if it is required:
- give instructions to a person who is not inclined to work long and carefully. He is asked to take his time and achieve tangible results from his efforts.
- encourage someone who is working on a big project. He is told that his efforts will not be in vain, and over time he will be able to achieve his goal.
They try not to compare money with the berries mentioned in the phraseological unit. You need to have a certain cynicism to draw an analogy between the work of gatherers, who provide the entire tribe with food, and a specific hoarder. Our people are not like that.
