The Mysterious Box - Mikhail Prishvin, read online
Mikhail Prishvin
"The Mysterious Box" - a short but fascinating story by the Russian writer Mikhail Prishvin, which describes the case of hunting wolves: how a man, left alone with predators, using ingenuity managed to stay alive and unharmed.
The story "The Mysterious Box" teaches us that wolves, despite their strength and dexterity, are just animals, and a person in any situation must remain a person, smart, resourceful and courageous. Then he is not afraid of any danger.
Reading time: 4 min.
In Siberia, in an area where there are a lot of wolves, I asked a hunter who had a large reward for guerrilla warfare:
— Do you ever have cases where wolves attack a person?
“There are,” he replied. — Yes, what of it? A man has a weapon, a man has strength, and what a wolf! Dog and nothing else.
— However, if this dog is attacking an unarmed person…
— And then nothing! The partisan laughed. “A man’s most powerful weapon is intelligence, resourcefulness, and in particular such resourcefulness as to make a weapon out of any thing.
Once upon a time, a hunter turned a simple box into a weapon. Partizan told a case from a very dangerous hunt for wolves with a piglet. On a moonlit night, four hunters got into the sleigh and took with them a box with a piglet.
The box was large, made of half-timber. They put a pig in this box without a lid and went to the steppe, where there are a great many wolves. And it was in winter, when the wolves were hungry. Here the hunters went into the field and began to pull the piglet by the ear, by the leg, by the tail. From this, the pig began to squeal: the more they pull, the more it squeals, and louder and louder, and all over the steppe. Packs of wolves began to gather from all sides at this pig squeal and overtake the hunting sled. When the wolves approached, suddenly the horse sensed them - and how enough! So a box with a piglet flew out of the sleigh, and, worst of all, one hunter fell out without a gun and even without a hat.
Part of the wolves rushed off after the enraged horse, while the other part attacked the piglet, and in an instant there was nothing left of it. When these wolves, after eating a piglet, wanted to approach an unarmed man, they suddenly look, and this man has disappeared and on the road only one box lies upside down.
So the wolves came to the box and saw: the box is not simple - the box is moving from the road to the side of the road and from the side of the road into deep snow. The wolves carefully followed the box, and as soon as this box fell into deep snow, before the eyes of the wolves, it began to lower and lower.
The wolves were timid, but after standing still, they recovered and surrounded the box from all sides. Wolves stand and think, and the box is lower and lower. The wolves come closer, but the box does not sleep: lower and lower. The wolves think: “What a wonder? So we will wait - the box will go completely under the snow.
The elder wolf dared, approached the box, put his nose to the crack...
And as soon as he put his wolf nose to this crack, he would blow from the crack! Immediately, all the wolves rushed to the side, which one hit where, and immediately the hunters returned to help, and the man came out alive and healthy from the box.
“That's all,” said the partisan.
“And you say that an unarmed man cannot go out against wolves. That's what a person's mind is for, so that he can make protection for himself out of everything.
— Excuse me, — I said, — you just told me that the man from under the box blew something.
- What did you blow? The partisan laughed. - And with his human word he blew, and they fled.
— What word did he know against wolves?
"An ordinary word," said the partisan. - What words are said in such cases: "You fools, wolves," he said, - and nothing more.
