Sled uphill

“If you love to ride, you also love to carry a sled!” - says the Russian proverb. What does it mean? In the literal sense, you can understand it like this. Imagine a clear sunny day with a slight frost. The snow sparkles on the trees and roofs of houses, and winter silver creaks underfoot. It’s easy to breathe and cheerful - how can you not go up the hill with friends! But... if you love to ride, you also love to carry a sled! It’s not easy to climb up a slippery hill, even if it’s steep. And the sleigh gets in the way and pulls me down. But you really want to climb to the very top of your head, so that from there, with the breeze, you can fly like an arrow to the foot, to the enthusiastic cries of your friends and comrades! At this moment the meaning of the statement is revealed: “If you love to ride, you also love to carry a sled.”

From particular to general

Let's consider another situation. You want to throw a fun party at home. But you should prepare for it in advance: tidy up the rooms, think about music, take care of refreshments. That is, to expend some effort. So, it turns out again: if you love to ride, you also love to carry a sled! But after the party, you again have to clean up the rooms, in the yard, deal with dirty dishes, and sometimes with neighbors if they disturbed someone else’s sleep and peace. As you can see, this proverb is applicable to those situations when a person, in order to get something good, needs to work, spend his energy, time, i.e., sacrifice something. If you like to ride, you also like to carry a sled, in other words, it is understood this way: you like to relax, have fun - don’t shy away from business, worries, labor. Do not shift your responsibilities onto the hands and shoulders of others. Learn to take responsibility.

So that the child understands you

How to explain the meaning of a proverb to a child, say, five or six years old? There are many ways to do this. Children often ask their parents to get some kind of animal for them. A dog or a cat, fish or birds, hamsters or guinea pigs - it doesn’t matter, as long as you can play with them. Moms and dads should explain to their children that pets need to be looked after: fed, kept clean, walked, monitored for their well-being. What meaning of the proverb is realized in such conversations? Very important, moral, educational.

Shades of meaning

The child will understand several serious truths at once. Firstly, that any living creature is not a toy that you play with and throw away. The Little Prince's phrase that we are responsible for those we have tamed will be very appropriate here. Your son or daughter will try a measure of responsibility with their capabilities - and this is already an excellent result! This means that the child will begin to think about other problems of existence that previously eluded his attention or simply did not occur to him due to his small age and little life experience. But this is exactly how growing up happens and Secondly, little philosophers will understand how much you value them, how you try to make their life joyful and bright, since you gave it to your children. They will understand and certainly appreciate it when a mother, tired after work, rushes to the stove to cook something delicious for dinner. Or when dad, returning home in the evening, doesn’t go to the TV, but starts having fun with his kids. A five- or six-year-old person can easily compare himself to those very sleds, which, since they love to ride, they also love to carry!

Do you like to relax and have fun? Most likely yes, who doesn’t like it... Do you think that in order to have a good rest, sometimes you need to work hard? If yes, then you are exactly the person whom the instructive proverb sets as an example “if you love to ride, you also love to carry sleds”.

Let’s try to figure out why the story is about sleds, and what meaning is put into this expression.

Like many other proverbs of the Russian language, the proverb in question has a figurative meaning; its meaning can extend not only to the actions described in it, but also to other situations in a person’s life. Thus, the proverb “If you love to ride, love to carry a sled” can be interpreted as “If you love to have fun, love to work.”

The expression is quite common in modern Russian speech, because its use is appropriate in all spheres of life. For example, the phrase can be used by parents in relation to children who have played happily and scattered toys, with the phrase “if you love to ride, love to carry sleds,” parents encourage children to clean up the room and put the toys in their places, thus teaching them to be in order.

It should be noted that the proverb can be applied not only in relation to children, but also in relation to adults, for example, after receiving guests and celebrating a family birthday, as a rule, the time comes for cleaning and washing dishes, in this situation family members, starting cleaning, they can humorously say “well, if you like to ride, you also like to carry sleds,” hinting that after fun entertainment, they should clean up and put the house in order.

In both examples, the relationship between rest and work can be seen. The phrase in a sense reminds us that work is an integral part of entertainment and relaxation.

The instructive idea was formed very simply: a sled is a winter cart on small runners, designed for riding from the mountains; accordingly, in order to move it, you need to pull a rope or push it from behind; Skiing down the snowy mountains is a popular winter activity for children.

A logical chain with a didactic slant is born by itself: going down the mountain is fun, the sled rolls downhill quickly, but going up the mountain again is a leisurely and tiring task.

Thus, using the example of a popular game among children, an edifying message is revealed: in order to get a portion of fun and joyful emotions, you first need to work a little - drag the sled up the mountain.

You love to ride, you love to carry a sled - everything in the world has a price, for everything - entertainment, joy, achieving something - you will definitely have to pay: with labor, time, money, reputation, losses; sometimes immediately, sometimes gradually

Moreover, for some reason, pleasure and celebration are necessarily followed by problems and sorrows, but misfortunes come and remain
