King rode awesome and good fellows the wide courtyard and there on the green meadow pitched their tents belotkannye with golden ornaments, ate what God has sent, went to bed and slept soundly ustatku. Everyone has got to the tent, the tent is not only Nikita Koltome. He found three holes in the mat, made a tent, lay down on the bare ground, and sleep does not sleep, waiting for what will happen.

At dawn on the morning woke up in his mansion, Princess Helen, looked out the window and saw kosyaschatoe: standing on a green meadow thirteen belotkannyh tents, embroidered with gold flowers, and in front of a tent is - made of burlap.

- What is it? - Think Princess. - Otkudova these guests come in large numbers?

Looking - and iron fence is broken down, hard angry Helen, summons silnomoguchego hero and orders:

Silnomoguchy hero mounted his good horse, dressed in armor and military napuschaetsya to intruders. Saw his Nikita Koltoma, began to ask:

- Who is going?

- What are you ignorant of, you ask?

Those words Nikita did not show, he jumped out of his tent and grabbed the hero's leg and pulled off a horse on wet ground, raised the iron bar of fifty pounds, weighed him a blow and said:

Hero galloped back - glad that Nikita live it to the light Let me go! He came to the palace, and said the princess:

- It's in your court stopped exorbitant athletes, Woo you for a terrible king and told me to tell you not to arrogance, the troops did not spend unnecessarily, and would go beyond that king married.

As Helen heard such bold speech, once excited, called all his warriors and became silnomoguchih command:

- My faithful servants! Collect myriad army, ravaging tents belotkannye, slay the intruders, so dust and theirs was not!

Silnomoguchie heroes, I do not think for a long time, have collected a myriad army, got on his heroic horse and raced to the tents belotkannye with golden ornaments. Just caught up with rogozhanym shalashikom, jumped in front of them Koltoma Nikita, took his iron rod of fifty pounds and started them in different directions waggle, and in a short time, and all the host interrupted silnomoguchih heroes, only one athlete left alive.

Princess goes to meet, and her fifty bow and arrow are. Nikita Koltoma saw giant bow, immediately guessed that toyu dart want them to regale, put on his head a cap of darkness, jumped, drew his bow and sent an arrow into tsarevniny towers - one minute the entire top floor knocked! Nothing to do, takes Helen formidable king's hand, leads to a white stone house, puts the tables oak tablecloths for battle: the steel to eat, drink, be merry. In the decoration of houses marvelous, all the light around, you will not find this anywhere else.

After dinner, said Nikita terrible king

- No, Nikita, nothing in vain to go, this is better in this world is not!

- Well, get married, and now it is in your hands. Yes, see, Your Majesty, do not make a mistake: the first three nights will be your strength, she tortured, set its hand and will be tightly squeeze, you never have to endure! In those days go quickly out of the room, and I'll come to your place and live her subdued.

That started a wedding; kings have no honey to cook without wine smoking - you're done. Were married, and went to the king and menacing Elena the Fair doth rest hold. He lay down on a soft bed and pretended to sleep wants. Helen has left on his chest, his hand and said:

Nikita Koltoma grabbed her, as if in a dream, how will throw on the floor - all towers and shook! Princess got up slowly and went to sleep. Nikita got here, went to the king and said:

That's it, with Nikita Koltomy, left menacing king first three nights and went to live with his Tsarevna Elena the Fair, as the husband and wife.

Scary it embitter the heart and held her cruel revenge. Pleases the king to go to their state, said Elena the Fair:

And together they go by sea, a ship loaded all the precious things, sit down and set off across the sea. Sailing day, and another, and the third, the king happy, not rejoicing that he was taking to his beautiful princess sun clearer months whiter snow, but Helen thinks his thought: how to repay the insult. At that time defeated Nikita heroic dream, and he went to sleep at all for twelve days. As Helen saw that Nikita heroic dream asleep immediately clicked his faithful servants, ordered to cut off his legs at the knee, then put it in the boat and let the open sea. Immediately cut off when her eyes sleepy Nikita legs up to his knees, put in the boat, and let the sea.
