"The Echo" is a short story written by J. Nagibin. The narrator, now a grown man, recalls a story that happened to him many years ago when he, as a 10-year-old boy, had a summer vacation in Sinegoria, a part of Krim. There, the narrator befriends a girl, also 10 years old and on vacation. The girl (who insists on being called "Vitka", rather than "Vika") is an outspoken {{tomboy}}, a good swimmer and a climber. Since they are both outsiders, she considers him a friend and reveals the secret echo in the nearby mountains,that only she knows how to produce. But unfortunately, when she is harassed by bullies, the narrator does not live up to her expectations, thus losing all respect from her. Though she does reconcile with him in the end, their deep relation is gone.

!!This story provides examples of:
* AnAesop: "Mountains answer only to honorable and honest." Hammered in [[{{Anvilicious}} extremely unsubtly]].
** A strong anti-bullying Aesop is also present.
* BlitheSpirit: Vitka, before her breaking (see below)
* BreakTheCutie: The girl's harassment by bullies clearly has this as a result. She is much sadder now, withdrawn and distrustful.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Vitka. Others, not so.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Vitka collects '''echoes''' and strange phone numbers. The protagonist also "collects" cars of unusual models.
* ComingOfAgeStory
* TheCorruptible: the protagonist.
* DefeatByModesty: not in figfhting sense, but Vitka's humiliation is purely due to the fact she was naked.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Vitka, who is barefoot throughout the story.
* EasilyForgiven: Subverted: Vitka ''does'' forgive the young narrator, but she doesn't trust him anymore.
* FreeRangeChildren: Both the girl and the young narrator. The spend the whole day without adult supervision, and this includes swimming in a sea, wandering alone and climbing mountains - without bothering to tell anyone where they are, of course. Even for that period, climbing mountains alone was a biggie.
* HeroicBSOD: Vitka's behaviour after her harassment.
* InnocenceLost: both the narrator and the girl, though in a different way.
* KickTheDog: The bullies, towards Vitka.
** KickTheSonOfABitch: The bullies, towards the protagonist, who certainly deserved such treatment.
* KidsAreCruel: The bullies, at least.
* LaserGuidedkarma: the protagonists' betrayal of Vitka backfires on him completely.
* MyGreatestFailure: The narrator sees the whole story as this.
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: The girl insists on being called Vitka, even though this is actually a boy's name.
* NakedFirstImpression: When the protagonist first meets Vitka, she is naked from her SkinnyDipping.
--> Hey, what are you doing sitting on my underpants?
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: subverted / deconstructed. Surely it is funny to pick on somebody who is naked, but the naked person '''definitely''' has no fun in it.
* OneOfTheBoys: the narrator ''sees'' the Vitka as this. We actually see this is not quite the case.
* PeerPressureMakesYouEvil: The reason the narrator betrayed the girl is his wish to fit in with the locals, not simply fear.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: the protagonists reaction to Vitka's nakedness. A constant source of subtle irritation between the narrator and the girl.
* TheReveal: The echo's secret.
* SadisticChoice: for the narrator - whether to help Vika or side with the bullies. And possibly for Vika, who probably could abandon her clothing and swim away, but chose not to.
* SarcasmFailure: Vitka during her harassment.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Vitka at the end, when wearing her "special occasions" dress, is extremely pretty, even though before she appeared homely.
* SkinnyDipping: Vitka does this all the time. Ultimately, this brings her in trouble when the bullies start harassing her because of this.
* {{Tomboy}}: Vitka.
* TragicMistake: the protagonists decision to side with the bullies.
