Trishkin Kaftan is an actual topic to this day

With the light hand of Ivan Ivanovich Krylov, "winged phrases" go around the world. So, it is enough to say: "And things are still there," and thereby emphasize the inconsistency of the actions of people doing any work.

"You are like that Cuckoo with a Rooster!" - Wishing to reproach the flattering people who praise each other "in payment" for the kind words addressed to them, we again turn to the unforgettable creativity of the fabulist.

And the famous Trishkin Kaftan?

Today this satirical image is relevant both in public policy and in private life. For example, a little girl was going to paint with paint, but she did not find a brush. How to be here? Maybe make a brush of your own hair?

But the girl has a problem: her hair consists of tightly braided braids "basket". And so she could find the hair that was free of ribbons only with her forehead. It's worthless snejnyasya, snatches the resourceful child with scissors under the very root of the clump of bangs. I cut it off and did it there. Only painted a young artist only five minutes, and with a stupid hairdo, she will have to go on for a long time, make people laugh, and scold themselves. What is not "trishkin kaftan"?

It's hard to imagine that someone does not know this fable . But, if someone forgot something, what kind of a story about Trishkin's caftan, you can recall.

The hero of the fable - stupid Trishka - first snatched the cuffs at the sleeves to patch holes on his elbows, and then, when he was laughed at, put his sleeves on the back of the caftan. However, all the same, only lazy people did not laugh at him.

In dictionaries it is written that "trishkin kaftan" is a phraseology that can be applied to an anecdotal situation: someone wants to improve something or do something good, but, after not understanding enough, spoils another by their actions. In our life, this occurs at every step.

Constantly we come across the notorious expression "trishkin kaftan", the meaning of which reveals to us our imprudence, short-sightedness. We punish the baby, leaving him alone, out of good motives: they say, he will sit alone - he will understand that he has done something wrong. A child from boredom takes up scissors and ... shreds them all in a row!

An example of political short-sightedness can serve as a decision of the country's leadership "to free a woman from routine domestic work." Opening kindergartens and nurseries is a good thing. But the need to leave a two-month-old kid, while giving it to a public institution, has brought more grief to people and the whole country than to good.

We decide to get rid of the Colorado beetles and invent such a powerful poison, from which all insects die - hurray! But the poison is absorbed by the plants, gets into our body and does its destructive work already inside us.

We want to make the pigs and calves grow up as soon as possible - the country needs a lot of meat! We invent special fertilizing for cattle. And these chemicals, again, through the meat of slaughtered animals get into the human body ... And a list of examples under which the signature of Trishkin Kaftan will be relevant can be continued.

Oh, great seer Krylov! He wrote a short fable, and reflected in it the centuries-old history of human stupidity. And the heroes of his fables are never translated, but to this day they live among us.
