(319 words) How strong can a person’s love for his homeland, his roots, his origin be? What is the result of separation from their native places? Can a child feel this pain?
Once in the mountains, a Russian general captured a boy of about six, and drove him to Tiflis. On the way, he realized that he would not bring the captive to the city alive and decided to leave him in the monastery. At first, the child yearned for his homeland, but soon Mtsyri began to understand a foreign language and was baptized. The young man was already preparing to "pronounce a monastic vow," when he suddenly disappeared. On the third day he was found in the steppe without feelings and returned to the monastery.
Mtsyri, pale and withering every day, answered all inquiries with silence, he was thin and weak, his end was near from illness or hunger, then a monk was sent to him. After listening to the prayer, Mtsyri decided to tell about his three days in the wild.
The young man escaped during a thunderstorm when the monks recited a prayer at the altar. For many hours he ran, tired, lay down on the grass. He was not afraid of either the distant cry of the jackal or the snake sliding between the stones. He himself felt like a beast that was far from people, and all that he distinguished in the dark was a pattern of distant and native mountains.
He spent three days in alliance with nature, as his ancestors lived. Will returned to him what he had forgotten as a child in captivity. The young man remembered his native language, native faces and native places. With longing and sadness, he told the Chernets how his heart trembled when he saw a Georgian woman near the shore.
All this time, Mtsyri pursued the goal of returning to his native country, but he soon lost sight of the mountains and lost his way. Even then, he did not think about helping people, it seemed alien to him, Mtsyri felt like a steppe beast. He won the deadly battle with the mighty leopard, and now was sure that “he could have been in the land of his fathers not from the last daredevils”. Exhausted and exhausted, he left the forest and realized that he had returned to the monastery, from where he had fled. They found him there.
