V. Chizhov - Real book of a red-skinned man

– «I, too, sometimes take offense and can even bite»! – said Hanukkah.

– «That is why, when I go to the tribe, I don’t take you with me», – Mamuka replied.

– «It’s not my fault that it’s easy to offend me», – the dog sighed in response.

– «Yes! Yes! What if you bite someone, and they just wanted to stroke you! Okay, listen further», – say Mamuka.

The most important thing for a leader is not to choose a nickname. As it will be called in the company, so it will be called. The main quality in this situation is easy to treat yourself with humor and understand that the main person in the Indian tribe is a non-violent, intelligent and reasonable person. A little time will pass and the leader himself will give nicknames, and at his own discretion. And when the Indian tribe is replenished, at a large meeting it will be possible to rename itself. If in Giantania Mamuka was nicknamed – «The Leader of the Redskins», then in Komaria he can be called differently. The inhabitants of Giant often have poor imaginations and cannot come up with anything. Therefore, you should not take offense at them.

After the «Eagle Eye» Indian got his nickname, Mamuka approached the caterpillar.

Long ago, Yungani talked about a meadow with butterflies. According to legend, a real beautiful creature grows out of a caterpillar. Shaman Yungani caught them with a cage, and then it tore. There were no threads to sew next, but there was an empty jar. Yungani quickly realized that instead of catching butterflies, he could collect caterpillars from cabbage leaves. After all, they eat up the crop and harm the plant. And when they are full, they become a butterfly and fly away wherever they want.

– «I’m catching two rabbits»! – Yungani said and collected all the caterpillars in a jar.

The shaman did not think that these green creatures eat so much. I had to repeatedly wash the jar until the caterpillars turned into butterflies. Gianniya made a promise to the shaman that if Yungani saved the crop from pests, a real Indian dwelling would be built for him.

Giants are very cunning people. Sometimes they can promise something and forget their words. But Yungani fulfilled his promise and Giants, reluctantly built him a real tipi. This is an Indian dwelling, you will learn how to build it from this book. Read carefully so as not to miss the building instructions. Now let’s move on to our next assignment. If you have not completed the previous ones, I strongly recommend that you complete them, otherwise much will not work.

Quest from Mamuka: Tracking the caterpillars

Take a close look at your map. Go where the cabbage grows. Look closely at the leaves of all cabbage plants. If you notice something strange, for example a bunch of small yellow bubbles, then you should know that soon caterpillars will appear from there. If they have turned black, then there are several hours left before they go out. It is best to collect adult caterpillars and still need to be fed. We’ll have to clean up after them, cleaning the jar. Caterpillars feed on leaves: radish, cabbage, beetroot, turnip, shepherd’s purse, hoofed fish, green garlic and onion sprouts.

It is best to harvest the caterpillars in early summer. Then you can get a whole jar of butterflies closer to autumn. You will need a new glass jar, of course. I do not advise taking a huge one. It is better to perforate the lid. Ask any Giant about it and show this line:

« Mamuka, the leader of the Redskins, asks the Giant to borrow a glass jar. A certain Indian will return it in the month of October. Under the strictest responsibility of one of the Redskins of the Mamuka tribe».

You can pick up the tracks with your bare hands. You passed the ant bite, now you have nothing to fear.When going around the leaves of cabbage, radish, beets and turnips, always take a jar with you in case you suddenly come across a caterpillar. Feel free to take it and place it in your storage for caterpillars. Be sure to throw in a few radish leaves. Pull the plant out in cold blood, wash and eat its ripe red root. Then throw the green appendage into the jar with the caught caterpillars. Since you will frequently replenish the «Komaria Bank», the can with caterpillars will be under your strict supervision. Remember: if you leave for a long time and leave the jar unattended, you can destroy the caterpillars.

Be smart: lend the bank to someone you can trust. Thus, you will check your friend.

– «Hanukkah, have you seen strange small creatures instead of caterpillars»? – asked Mamuka.

– «Yes, I saw, but these are not caterpillars! There are so many of them, just a whole bunch! Am I Eagle Eye now»? – the dog asked his companion.

– «No, the „Eagle Eye“ already exists, and it wanders on the other side of this planet. Somewhere in the wild under the azure sky. Do not ask me unnecessary questions, when the day or the moment comes, the nickname will surely find you. Do not rush events and days», – Mamuka said calmly and continued, – «now we will read further. Lie down and listen, otherwise you will miss everything again and forget. And I will have to read aloud to you again»!

The dog lay down patiently in its place and turned away.

– «Don’t try to sleep! Sly dog»! – said Mamuka.

– «It’s more convenient for me, I listen to you», – Hanukkah answered barely audibly and stretched out his paws, and then curled up into a ball and hid his nose.

– «I see everything! You are going to sleep»! – noticed Mamuka.

– «You see me, and I hear you, even when I sleep. I saw myself waving my ear while snoring. In a dream, I remember more», – the dog answered practically without a sound.

It also happens that strange small creatures can be found instead of caterpillars on a cabbage leaf. They stick around the plants in a big company and eat the leaves. These are not caterpillars. They are called aphids. When there are a lot of them, they can destroy the plant. In order for Mamuka to save the harvest, you should immediately tell about the noticed insects to any Giant from Giant. Then maybe the cabbage harvest will be saved!

Fly the ladybug to the sky

There your kids eat sweets

All one by one, but not one for you.

The wise Indian shaman understands that children are children. They are happy with the «Ladybug», but the Indian can use it in a completely different way, wisely! After all, if aphids eat cabbage, caterpillars will not appear. And if caterpillars do not appear, then there will be no butterflies in the bank. You can even see through the glass how they will get out of their pupae into the light, slowly transforming into beautiful butterflies. Then it is customary to release them, and return the bank to Giant.
