Academician Pyatitomov looked into his grandson's room.
“Professor Sinitsyn and I are having a break. Come with us to the kitchen for tea.
There was a stack of postcards in front of Seryozha. In his hand is a fountain pen. In the eyes - longing.
“Sixteen,” Seryozha whispered doomedly.
“What or who is sixteen?” asked the professor standing in the door next to the academician.
"And whom, and what," was almost a groan in response. - And the girls in the class, and postcards. Imagine: I volunteered at the meeting! And who only pulled me by the tongue!
“Now there’s nothing to be done,” Grandfather shook his head. - He called himself a loader - climb into the body, as they say.
“This is not about me,” Seryozha objected. - I never called myself a truck, and there was no talk of any truck at the meeting.
"Here's the thing," the professor began to explain. - From time immemorial, a basket has been called a body or a box. And the mushroom, as you yourself know, is a useful mushroom in the household: you can boil it, and fry it, and salt it, and pickle it. Any mushroom picker, seeing a mushroom, once it - and in the body. There is nowhere for an edible mushroom to go. - The meaning of the saying, - the academician picked up, - is this: if you undertook to be useful in something, fulfill your obligations, do not pretend that you are some kind of toadstool. And the professor and I, out of solidarity, will postpone our break. Let's all have tea together later. Tell me when you're ready.
And the scientists retired to the office. And Seryozha, sighing, moved another postcard and began to write: “Elena Semenova! All the boys of our class congratulate you on the Day of the Eighth of March!”

"The Enchanted Wanderer" - main character, who contacted the thieving gypsy - "I got tangled up: how I didn’t want to steal passion; however, it’s clear calling yourself a load, you will climb into the body; and I, knowing all the passages and exits to the stables, without difficulty led a couple of dashing horses beyond the threshing floor, which were completely tired and unaware, and the gypsy, even before now, took out wolf teeth from his pocket on a string and hung them on both horses around the neck, and the gypsy and I sat on them and drove off.
Often a person who, at the right moment, refuses his promises, has to hear an expression that, at first glance, has nothing to do with him. "Gruzdev called himself get in the body", - those around him sternly tell him. In what, in fact, the body is required to climb, no one specifies. In order to avoid mistakes, let's figure it out.
The meaning of the proverb
The proverb about the load is suitable to remind a person of this promise and the need to fulfill it. In another way, you can express the thought embodied in the figurative expression as follows: correspond, having promised - fulfill, be able to answer for your words. The idiom reminds you how important it is to be responsible and not promise more than you are able to give.
For example, a company commander during the Great Patriotic War asks the fighters who knows German. Wanting to stand out, Private Semyonov takes a step forward, mindful of the fact that in school certificate had a German four. He is sent to negotiate with captured Nazis, but the soldier understands that the task is beyond his strength. The commander incinerates Semyonov with a look: “No, soldier, this is not good! Gruzdev called himself get in the body". The shamed soldier has no choice but to go and obey the order.
Another example of the use of the proverb is family life. An unmarried young sister Katya comes to Natasha, a mother of many children. Out of good intentions, she invites her sister, tired of household chores, to sit with her children. Natasha's little son starts insisting on being rolled on the back, the middle daughter empties the closet with adult dresses and involves her aunt in a masquerade, and their older brother locks himself in his room and turns on heavy metal at full volume. Katya goes through all conceivable and unimaginable trials, and by nine o'clock, without waiting for her sister's return, she falls asleep on the edge of the crib. “Children, they are like that,” Natasha tells her smiling in the morning. But you yourself suggested. And once you called yourself a loader, climb into the back.
There are many examples of using the expression. They all remind you that before you make a promise, you need to think carefully, weigh your strengths and evaluate the possibilities. If you just lost the desire to do something, you need to remember that you can’t refuse. This is dishonorable, because the unfinished business will have to be completed instead of you by someone else.
Origin of the proverb
Many proverbs and sayings came into popular speech from ordinary life: habits, family life, household chores, crafts. One of the favorite activities of a Russian person has always been "mushroom hunting". During long fasts, protein-rich mushroom soups, salted and fried gifts from the forest became a saving addition to the meager peasant diet. There is nothing surprising in the fact that mushroom metaphors migrated from the fishing industry to colloquial speech and became part of folk wisdom.
They usually went for mushrooms with a basket or box. A large basket was called a box or body. One of the most desired finds for every mushroom picker was considered a mushroom: it can be marinated, boiled, salted, fried - it tastes so good that it is not a shame to serve it even to the royal table. Perhaps that is why the tasty gift of the forest has become a proverb.
The proverb called itself "loader, climb into the back" - it means that if you gave your word, then you need to keep it, otherwise you will be considered a balobol, a liar and an unreliable person. That is, if you gave your word, then do it, if you said, then do it by all means.
In ancient times, a basket for mushrooms was called a body, a special box that was woven from twigs and tree bark. A breast is an ordinary mushroom, which belongs to the russula order and to the milky genus. It belongs to the edible mushrooms of the second category. The black breast has a funnel-shaped hat, the edges of which are wrapped. With high humidity, its skin becomes sticky. Hue can vary from dark brown to dark olive.
