In the 27th episode of the educational cartoon “The Adventures of Luntik and His Friends”, the creators of the project decided to tell the children that sometimes some things that are completely different from each other can have the same name. And they decided to build their explanation on the example of pancakes, that is, ordinary pancakes and pancake games, where flat pebbles need to be launched on the surface of the water. Whose stone will make more bouncing on the water, that is, make more “pancakes”, he won. But the rules of the game of "pancakes" Luntik initially misunderstood, and that's what it turned into.
Baba Kapa and her crepes
Baba Kapa baked a huge number of pancakes, with which she treated Luntika. General Cher dined at the table right there , who, having eaten enough, decided to take a nap right at the table. Baba Kapa casually mentioned that Cher used to be an unrivaled champion in the pancake game, and Luntik, being interested, wanted to find out in more detail from the general about the rules of this game. But he, before finally falling asleep, only managed to say that you just throw them, and they are plop-plop-plop.
Search for the rules of the game
After Cher fell asleep, Kuzya came. Having taken the whole mountain of pancakes, Luntik and his friend grasshopper went to the street to learn a new game. Little is left to guess the rules of this game. Taking a pancake, they threw them into the air. Those fell on the sand. Nothing interesting. Luntik recalled that Cher was saying something about "plop-plop-plop." Probably should be thrown into the water. They started throwing them into the water, but the pancakes just floated, and this, not only did the comrades seem uninteresting, also the Leech scolded them for clogging the pond.
Wupsen and Pupsen
Having taken pancakes, Luntik with Kuzey began to scatter them throughout the forest. It seemed funny to them. But caterpillars Wupsen and Pupsen emerged from the forest and began to teach them the “right” rules of the game. In their opinion, Luntik and Kuzya should have thrown pancakes to them, and they should have eaten them. Carried away, friends fed all pancakes to cunning caterpillars.
Hungry General
General Cher, having overslept, again decided to eat. But what was his surprise when he did not find a single pancake on the table. By the methods of logical inventions and by the pancake lying around at the exit from the house, he realized that the pancakes had "gone" to the street and Luntik took them. And Cher went in search of Luntik and pancakes through the forest.
In the forest on the branches of shrubs and grass, he found pancakes, and nearby was heard the fervent laughter of the eternal friends of Luntik and Kuzi. Eating pancakes found along the way, the disgruntled general went to the edge of the forest, where he found happy comrades playing "pancakes" according to the insidious rules of caterpillars. It is clear that by the time he arrived, only memories were left of the pancakes.
Correct rules
It was then that only the general explained to Kuse and Luntik - pancakes and the "game of pancakes" are not the same thing. He showed his friends that they were playing this game not with pancakes, but with flat pebbles, launching them through the water. The blows of a pebble on water at the moment of the next bounce from it are called a “pancake”. Whoever has more such bounces, that is, pancakes, he ultimately won.
The game seemed complicated to friends, but Kuzya and Luntik for the first time in a series about pancakes learned that although things are sometimes called the same, their meaning often turns out to be different.
