Fishy

Peas king sat, dangling legs, the high steep bank of a wide river that flowed slowly along the border of the kingdom. However, for the boundary of a State was not, and had a wild steppe, in which no one even walk out. Before it was wild that every traveler strove to bite the heel. What's next for the wilderness is going on, that no one knew.

The kingdom of the king of peas was not great, and care of him a little bit there. In peasant households, which was just something about three hundred, collecting bread governor did, and when the troops were governor - a dozen archers. Calculation was done for all the kingdom only one robber, Vanka Kain, and he just sat in jail. So the state of affairs was sparse, and the king in the early morning to the river ran worm buy. People used to think, like the emperor fish catches, but He himself knew that it is useless ... In those days, the fish is not something that the worm - the money and the gold is not bite.

This fish is now silent, like a fish, and then peskarik any, even the smallest, could speak and read books catfish lying on the bottom in the most quiet backwaters. Worms are also not fools, they knew that if they bathe, without getting off the hook, no living creatures on them not to bite, and then hooked them to the safest place.

A frog sitting on a water lily, not just croaked, and the choir sang the song. Evenings after work crowds of people went to the river frog songs to listen, and if something like it, and sang it. They say one of the far Fuflyandii myriad army came Gorokhovaya kingdom to fight, yeah, when you come to the river, so the singing frog heard that and had forgotten how dashing for such a long top.

And it was good b: and the king in the case, and the worm is happy and the fish is whole, and people having fun, but suddenly happened sort of attack. Shown because of the coastal cliff dozen canoes, each a dozen merchants overseas, but each in a dozen boxes of goods. It can be seen from a distance sailed, so no fair on the road is not met.

All would be well, but only in the realm of Gorokhovaya treasury was empty too long - even grandfather Tsar, gulena known, tried. At least the crown survived. So that goods overseas and buy-it was not even the king himself, and only incidentally even more so. King wanted Pea to quietly go away from the shore, you see - the merchants of his kingdom, and would not have noticed, but the first canoe boy sat on the mast was too big eyes. He looked to the shore so cried out, "Look, the king!" It's all canoes turned to him, and merchants began to jump ashore and lay their goods - and silk Chinese and Persian rugs, and sabelki Damascus, Genoa and pretzels, even looking so delicious that Yum.

Licked the king himself Peas fingers and went to look for his coffers - suddenly what efimok gold rolled through the crack. But somewhere out there, even the royal treasurer for many years without a salary sat like a normal person, but did not complain - works, then it was not there. King grabbed an empty box with a yes and went into the river of sorrow to throw it away. Dragged to the shore just barely, and then run up to him the merchants, and ask, they say, you have here the fish is caught, and it is possible, they say, and we catch ... The king immediately smeknul their benefits and says

      - Can. Only first have to pay a fee to the state - three silver altyns the hook, but on a willow branch Altyn - fishing rods, then you have, no doubt, with you and no - yes half altyns a worm.

Worms that were nearby, he immediately climbed into the land of deep resentment that for them is only half altyns ...

Merchants immediately climbed over the belt to get the money and the almost complete chest piled silver king, and who had no silver, gold money for those thrown. Immediately began to get on rod and into the river to throw worms on hooks. King thought that after sitting next to them a day or two, and guests will float your way. But as soon as the worms began to dabble and biting went - and carp and pike, and sturgeon and sturgeon. Merchants only manage them in barrels of water to run yes on canoes pull off. In less than an hour, as they are loaded to the eyeballs, and sailed for home.

King looked them followed suit and decided to fish offense - well, it only bites strangers ...

Then out of the water popped Stavridovich Catfish, King River, and also looks after Chelny.

      - What are you, Catfish Stavridovich, its something to be offended? - Chided him there king Peas. - Guests, then sat for half an hour, full of barrels caught ...

      - Yes, it's youth ... - The king answered the river. - And so they came across the sea to swim. Tired, they say, at home ... We want to say, see the world, to show yourself ...
