Description
After the elders left for the war with the evil “bourgeois” who attacked the country, when Kibalchish led the resistance of the last remaining force, the boys - “boys”, Plohish joined them, but only for the sake of it, but in fact he “wanted to become a bourgeoisie”. He commits sabotage, destroying ammunition .
Here the bourgeoisie sit and think: what is it they do? Suddenly they see: Malchish-Plohish crawls out from behind the bushes and directly to them.
- Rejoice! He shouts to them. “That's all I, Bad Boy, did.” I chopped wood, I pulled hay, and I lit all the boxes with black bombs, with white shells and yellow cartridges. That's about to crash!
Then the bourgeoisie rejoiced, quickly wrote down Malchish-Plohish into their bourgeoisie and gave him a whole barrel of jam and a whole basket of cookies.
Sits Malchish-Plohish, eats and rejoices.
Nothing is said about his future fate after the betrayal.
According to S. Ya. Marshak , the character of Plohish is extremely arbitrary, his main distinguishing feature is his name [2] .
