The children's Doctor was awakened by the bright sun and childish
laughter. The children's Doctor could listen to this laughter all day long.
They were the most pleasant sounds in the world for him. The guys were playing
in the yard and laughing. From time to time, a silver stream of water rose from
below. One might have thought that a large whale was lying in the middle of the
yard. The Children's Doctor, of course, understood that this could not be. He
knew that it was Uncle Anton, the janitor, watering the flower bed.

The Children's Doctor felt tired. He's had a
lot of work lately. At night he wrote a book. The book was called: "The
role of a fair fight in the normal development of a boy." During the day
he worked in a children's clinic, and after work he collected material for his
book. He walked through courtyards and squares, entered dark entrances and even
looked under the stairs.
children are coming from school
"How good that I don't have to go to the
clinic today! - The Children's Doctor thought. – I will be able to rest today
and maybe even finish the seventh chapter of my book. I only have two calls
today. However, one case is very difficult: this sad girl Tom..." At this
time, a loud bell rang. The children's Doctor went into the hall and opened the
door.
The Children's Doctor is writing a book
Mom was standing outside the door. Of course,
it was not the mother of the Children's Doctor. It was the mother of some boy
or girl. But there was no doubt that it was Mom. It was immediately evident
from her big unhappy eyes.The children's Doctor sighed softly and invited this
someone's mother into the office. True, she was a very good mother. The
children's Doctor immediately determined this. Such a mother probably knew how
to be strict. But on the other hand, such a mother probably allowed her child
to climb trees and run barefoot through puddles.
"I wonder how she feels about fights? –
Her opinion would be important for my book "The Role of a Fair fight in
the normal development of a boy".…
"You understand, Doctor..." my
mother began anxiously. Her eyes were very dark and unhappy. But, probably, her
eyes could shine brightly. - You see... you were highly recommended to me… I
have a son, Petya… He's nine years old. He's very sick. He's... you know...
he's... a coward... transparent tears one after another dripped from Mom's
eyes. One would have thought that two strings of shiny beads were hanging along
her cheeks. It was obvious that it was very difficult for her. The Children's
Doctor was confused and began to look away.
"Here it is early in the morning..."
my mother continued. - You know, when he wakes up... or, for example, when he
comes home from school... and in the evening…
- Well, well, - said the Children's Doctor– -
Wait a minute, wait a minute. You'd better answer my questions... does he go to
school alone?
- I see you off and meet you.
- And in the movies?
- I haven't been for a year and a half.
"Afraid of dogs?"
"Even cats..." my mother said softly
and sobbed.
- I see, I see! - said the Children's Doctor.
- Well, nothing. Modern medicine… Come to my clinic tomorrow. I'll sign you up
for twelve o'clock. Are you comfortable at this time?
- To the clinic? - mom was confused. – You
know - he won't go. Well, not for the world. I can't lead him by force, can I?
What do you think?.. I thought... you came to our house… We don't live far from
here. On the one hundred and second bus...
- Well, well, well... - the Children's Doctor
said with a sigh and looked longingly at his desk. – I still have to go to
Lermontovsky Prospekt to this sad girl Tom…
And the Children's Doctor began to put the
medicines in his small suitcase. The suitcase was middle-aged, neither new nor
old, yellow in color, with shiny locks.
- Wait a minute, wait a minute, so as not to
forget… This is a powder of laughter for the sad girl Toma. A very potent
remedy… If he doesn't help… So... a bottle of antiboltin. Well, well. Shake
before use… This is for one chatterbox… And for your Petya...
– Excuse me, Doctor... - mom was embarrassed
again. – You are already very kind… But... Petya doesn't take any medications.
Afraid. He doesn't even drink soda because it sizzles. And I pour the soup into
a shallow plate for him. He is afraid to eat from a deep plate.
- Naturally, naturally... - the Children's
Doctor muttered thoughtfully.
– Do you find it natural? - From surprise,
Mom's eyes became four times larger.
yellow suitcase Baby Doctor with candy
– It is natural for this disease, - the
Children's Doctor answered, pouring something into a paper bag. – I give such
children medicine in the form of sweets. You see, the most ordinary candy in a
pink piece of paper. The most cowardly children boldly put it in their mouths
and... the Children's Doctor and mom went outside. It was just wonderful
outside! The sun was hotter. The breeze is cool. The children were laughing.
The adults were smiling. Cars were going somewhere fast.
street
The children's Doctor and mom came to the bus stop.
Behind the yellow fence, a tall television tower stretched into the sky. She
was very beautiful and very tall. Probably, all the boys in this area dreamed
about her every night.The TV tower at the very top of it burned a dazzling
light. It was so bright that it was better to look at the sun for an hour than
to look at this light for one minute. Suddenly this light went out. And then it
became clear that there was some kind of black ant swarming at the very top.
Then this black ant crawled down.It got bigger and bigger, and suddenly it
turned out that it wasn't an ant at all, but a worker in a blue jumpsuit.
Then a door opened in the yellow fence, and
the worker bent down and walked through this door. He had a yellow briefcase in
his hand.The worker was very young and very tanned.
He had bright blue eyes.
"Maybe they are so blue because he works
so high in the sky?.. – No, of course, I'm thinking too naively..."
"You'll have to excuse me, old man! -
said the Children's Doctor to the young worker. – But I want to tell you that
you are a very brave man!
- Well, what are you! - the young worker was
confused and became even younger and became quite like a boy. - Well, what
courage is there!
- To work at such a height! Let me shake your
hand! - the Doctor got excited and, putting his yellow suitcase on the ground,
extended his hand to the young worker. The young worker also put his suitcase
on the ground and shook hands with the Children's Doctor.
- Of course, you loved to fight as a child? Am
I right?
The young worker blushed and looked at the
people standing in line in embarrassment.
Children's Doctor Builder yellow suitcase
- Yes, it happened… Well, to remember such
nonsense ...
- It's not nonsense at all! - exclaimed the
Children's Doctor. - From the point of view of science… But now is not the time
to talk about it. The main thing is your amazing courage. Courage is...
- Our bus, - my mother said quietly.
But she said it in such a voice that the
Children's Doctor immediately looked at her. He saw that her face had turned
white and had become somehow stony. One might have thought that this was not
mom, but a statue of mom. And the eyes that could shine became quite gloomy.
The children's Doctor guiltily pulled his head into his shoulders, picked up a
yellow suitcase and climbed into the bus.
"Oh, I'm a broken thermometer! He
thought, trying not to look at his mother. - What a tactless thing to say in
her presence about courage. I am a doctor and so rudely poked my finger into
the wound. And such a good mom… Oh, I'm a leaky hot water bottle, oh,
I..."
bus boy
Mom opened the door and led the Children's
Doctor through the dark hallway into a brightly lit room.
The sun flooded the room.The children's Doctor
came to the sick boy as if that wasn't enough. A large chandelier was burning
under the ceiling. There was a lighted table lamp on the nightstand. And there
was a lighted electric flashlight on the table.
- My Petenka! - mom said softly and
affectionately. – I'm the one who came! Where are you? - Someone moved under
the bed. You'd think there was a big snake lying there.
- Petenka! - mom said softly and gently again.
- I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you. Get out, please!
A boy's head popped out from under the bed.The
Children's Doctor looked at Petka and smiled.
He hated treating boys and girls he didn't
like. And he liked Petka right away.
That is, of course, not the whole Petka, but
only Petka's head. The whole Petka was still under the bed.
But Petka had a good chin, cute ears sticking
out in different directions, and there were four wonderful freckles on his
nose.
– Get out, get out– - said the Children's
Doctor, glad that he liked Petka. - It's dark under the bed, get out in the
sun.
Petka carefully crawled out from under the bed
on his stomach. Now he looked not like a snake, but like a large lizard without
a tail.
- Well, get up, get up, why lie on the floor!
– Said the Children's Doctor. - on the floor, you know, sometimes mice walk.
- Get up, Petenka, don't be afraid! - mom said
quietly and patiently.
Petka stood up. Now he looked not like a
lizard, but just like a good boy.
The Children's Doctor walked around Petka,
looking at him with his experienced eyes.
- Come on, bend your arm, I'll see what
muscles you have!the boy and the chair looked at his mother with pitiful eyes
and bent his trembling arm at the elbow.
- Not so bad at all! Not so bad at all! - The
Children's Doctor said in a pleased voice. - Come on, now jump up!
But instead of jumping up, Petka grabbed the
back of the chair with both hands. Petka clung to him so tightly that his
fingers turned white, as if frostbitten.
- Well, jump up, my son! Mom said softly. -
Please. This is necessary for treatment…
Petka looked reproachfully at his mother and
jumped up.
In truth, when he jumped up, it was hard to
get a little child's little finger between his soles and the floor.
- Great, great! - said the Children's Doctor
and sat down at the table–- the case is, of course, neglected, but not severe.
A hundred grams of sweets of "Real courage" - and he will be healthy.
You'll see: he's going to eat one candy and go for a walk in the yard.
And then Mom's eyes, which could shine,
finally shone.
"Yes, yes, I was not mistaken," the
Children's Doctor thought, "they can shine, her eyes ..."
- Is it really true? mom said and laughed
with happiness. – Well, then I'll go to work, otherwise I'm already quite late.
I'll have to run all the way anyway. I'll just ask my neighbor to sit with
Petenka, and I'll go.
