He said to the owner:

- I am, sir, choose a bag with fine sand.

- Well, the light, your good will. Take it, if silver brezguesh.

Martynka tied up the sack and went to look for another place. He walked and walked and wandered into a dark, dense forest. In the forest clearing, the clearing fire lit, and the fire girl sits, so beautiful that no want, no vzgadat just a fairy tale to tell. Maiden says:

"And really - thought Martynka - than carry with them such utter gravity, better person allowance. Wealth is small - the sand, a lot of this stuff everywhere!"

He took off his bag, untied and began to pour. The fire immediately went out, maiden hit the ground, turned serpent, good youth jumped on his chest and wrapped a ring around his neck.

Martynka scared.

Travelers are the chambers of white stone, the king meets them kindly.

The king immediately took off the ring, and gave to Martin:

Martyn, vdovin son, thanked the king took the ring but a little money on the road and started back the way they had previously walked. Near or far away or a short - returned home, he found his mother, an old woman, and they began to live happily together without any need and sorrow.

- Do not worry, my dear! I suppose, if I send, then boldly go. What will be the response from the king about what I say, and no response, and do not come back home.

Met an old woman and dragged herself to the royal palace. Came into the yard and right on the main staircase, and rushing without any report. Grabbed her watch:

- Wait, you old witch! Where the hell are you? Here, even the generals did not dare to go without a report ...

- Oh, you're so-and-so! - Cried the old woman. - I came to the king with a good deed, I want to arrange a marriage of his daughter, a princess for my son, and you grab my floors!

Such noise picked up! The King heard the screams and looked out the window and told him to admit to his old lady. Here she came into the room and bowed to the king.

- What say you, old lady? - Asked the king.

- Yes, that came to your mercy. Not in anger to tell you: I've got a merchant, you have the goods. Merchant of something - my son Martynka, very big brain, and the goods - your daughter, the beautiful princess. Do not give her in marriage to my Martynka? That's just a couple will!

The King in the same hour, gathered all the ministers, and they began to try to dress so, what would be the answer to this old woman. And awarded as follows: Let de Martynka a single day to build a rich palace, and so on to the royal palace was made crystal bridge, and on both sides of the bridge would grow trees with gold and silver apples on the same tree singing a different bird. Yes, let the line up the five-domed cathedral: where it would take the crown, it would be where the wedding to celebrate. If Starukhin son still does it, then it is possible for him, and the king's daughter to pay: so painful wisely. And if does not, then the old woman, and he cut a fault of the head.

In response to such-old woman was released. She goes home - reeling, bitter tears poured. Martynka saw. Rushed to him.

- Well, - he says - I shew thee, my son, not venturing too much, and you're all yours! So now lost our poor little head, to be us tomorrow executed.

- Come, my dear! Maybe stay alive. Lie down to rest - the morning, I believe, is wiser than the evening.

At midnight, Martin got out of bed, went to a large courtyard and threw a ring from one hand - and immediately came to him twelve fellows, all on one face, the hair in the hair, the voice in his voice.

- What did you have, Martin, vdovin son?

- Here's what: do me the light on this place rich palace and that of my royal palace to a crystal bridge, on both sides of the bridge would grow trees with gold and silver apples on the trees for a variety of birds singing. Line up and even five-domed cathedral: it would be where to take the crown, it would be where the wedding to celebrate.

Posted twelve fellows:

- By tomorrow you're done!

They ran in different places, they drove from all sides, and carpenters and craftsmen set to work all they have a dispute, the case is done quickly.

The next morning woke Martynka not simple hut, and noble, luxurious apartments, went to the high porch, looks - everything as it is done: the palace and the cathedral, and the Crystal Bridge, and trees with gold and silver apples. At that time, the king spoke to the balcony and looked at his glass tube and diva was given all done on the orders! Calls for a brilliant princess and tells the crown equip oneself.

- Well, - he says - I did not think, do not give you wondered Muzhichi married son, but now, you can not escape.

That is, until the princess washed, lapped in expensive dresses ryadilas, Martin, vdovin son, entered the large courtyard and threw his ring from one hand - suddenly twelve fellows out of the ground like a rose:

- Anything that want?

- And here, my friends, put me in a coat so prepare Boyarsky painted carriage and six horses.

- Now you're done!

No sooner had Martynka blink three times, and only dragged his coat, he put on his coat - like a glove as if sewn to the measure. Looked back - at the entrance is wheelchair, stroller in the wonderful horses harnessed - one strand of wool silver and the other gold. He sat down in a carriage and drove to the cathedral. There has long been a call to church, and people halts the thousand. Following the bride and groom arrived with his nanny and mother and the king and his ministers. Defended the Mass, and in fact, as it should, take Martyn, vdovin son, a beautiful princess's hand and passed a law against it. The king gave his daughter a rich dowry, awarded the rank-in-law and asked a great feast for the whole world.

Living at the new moon, and two, and three. Martynka, every day new palaces built gardens so helpless.

Only the princess not hurt the heart that does not give her in marriage of the prince, not the prince, but for a simple man. She began to think about how it would be the death of the world. With such a lisoyu pretended that and just try! Caring for her husband in every way, in every way oblige him to let all of his wisdom interrogates. Martynka attached, nothing says.

Here once was Martynka the king away, came home late and went to rest. Here the princess and clung to him, let him kiss-pardon, sweet words allure - and still Butter: not resist Martynka told her about his chudodeynoe ring.

"Well, - thinks the princess - now I'm with you SPLIT!"

He only slept soundly, queen grabbed his arm, took off Mizin finger ring, entered the large courtyard and threw a ring from one hand to another.

Immediately came to her twelve fellows:

- Anything that I must, beautiful princess?

- Hey, guys! So in the morning there was not any palace or cathedral, or the Crystal Bridge, and would stand still old house. Let my husband remains in poverty, and Blow me far away, in the fairy kingdom in myshe state. From a shame I do not want to live here!

- Glad to be, all will be done!

At that moment it was picked up by the wind and carried away to the fairy realm in myshe state.

Woke up in the morning the king went to the balcony to look at his glass tube - not a palace with a crystal bridge, no five-domed cathedral, but only have an old hut.

"What does that mean? - Thought the king. - Where all go?"

And, do not delay, send his aide to find out on the spot, what happened? Adjutant rode on horseback, and gate back, reports to the Emperor:

- Your Majesty! Where was the richest palace, there is still a thin hut, in the hut your son getting on with her mother, and a beautiful princess and spirit is not, and no one knows where she is now.

King brought a lot of advice and told the judge his son-why de deceived him and ruined the magic of a beautiful princess. Condemned Martynka put in a high stone pillar, and not to give him anything to eat or drink - let starve. Masons were brought out the pole and walled Martynka tight, only a small window for light left. He sits, poor, imprisoned, not eating, not drinking day, and another, and a third so drenched with tears.

I learned about that dog attack Zhurka, ran into the hut, and the cat Vaska on the stove is, purrs. Fill it Zhurka:

- Oh, you rascal, Vaska! Only you know the stove down so stretch, but you do not know what he was our host in a stone pillar sharpened. We see the good old forgotten how he paid a hundred rubles yes you from death released. If it were not, he would long ago have you cursed, worms exuding. Get up quickly! We must help him in every way.

Here Vaska jumped off the stove and ran with Zhurko search for the owner. Ran to the post, climbed up and climbed through the window:

- Hi, boss! Are you alive?

- Barely alive - responsible Martynka. - Quite emaciated with no food, have to die of starvation.

- Wait, do not grieve! We love you and feed and watered - Vaska said, jumped out the window and down to earth. - Well, brother Zhurka, because the owner dies of hunger. How would we manage to let him help?

- You're a fool, Vaska! And that you can imagine. Let's go around the city. Is encountered baker with a tray, I vividly podkachus his feet and he'll put out a tray with the head. Here you see those who help themselves! Grab da bread rolls quickly and drag to the owner.

Here they went on a great street, and meet them, a man with a tray. Zhurka threw himself at his feet, the man staggered, dropped his tray, sprinkled with bread and all the fright began to run to the side: he afraid that the dog is probably mad - how long before the trouble! A cat Vaska DAC roll over and dragged to Martynka, gave him one - ran for another, gave another - ran for a third.

Once conceived cat Vaska yes dog Zhurka go to fairy realm in myshe state - mine chudodeynoe ring. Way long distance, time will flow. They dragged Martynka crackers, rolls and stuff for a year and say,

- Mind you, boss! Eat, drink, but look back, to have enough reserves to you until we return.

Said goodbye and went on their way.

Near or far, soon or short - they come to the blue sea. Zhurka cat Vaska said:

- I hope to cross to the other side. What do you think?

Vaska answers:

- I'm not good at swimming, now drowned.

- Come sit on my back!

Vaska the cat sat on the dog's back, grasping claws coat to keep from falling, and they swam in the sea. Moved to the other side and came to fairy realm in myshe state.

In the state does not see either of the human soul, but so many mice that can not be counted: wherever sunsya because flocks and go! Zhurka cat Vaska said:

- All right, brother, to take over the hunt, these mice begin to choke, push, and I'll rake in a bunch of yes fold.

Vaska accustomed to the hunting, it started to deal with mice in their own way that no tsapnet - that and the spirit out! Zhurka barely kept in a pile and put a week naklal big haystack.

To beat upon the whole kingdom of great grief. Sees the mouse king, that the people of his flaw is that many subjects wicked men betrayed, climbed out of the hole and prayed before Zhurko Vaska:

- Beau brow you silnomoguchie heroes! Have pity on my narodishkom without ruining the end. Better tell me what you want? What I can do for you all.

Answers him Zhurka:

- It is in your country palace, in the palace lived a beautiful princess. She took our host chudodeynoe ring. If you do not dobudesh us to ring, then he perish and thy kingdom shall perish, all as is zapustoshim!

- Wait - said mouse king - I'll get his subjects, and I'll ask them.
