Treasure Vanka-Cain

Vanka-Cain was in prison and was sad. Long evenings he kept going on his fingers as he is for the time missed kupchishek that, knowing that Vanka was caught the same, and the goods were taken during the day or night without fear that they will be robbed. He sat, angry, and could not help it, because the left leg of his weight was trehpudovaya chain chained on barred windows stood, was an iron door, and the walls - of oak logs. Night he was sometimes the king Peas came to talk about this and that. Little, said in the realm of smart people have left, well, they say, that you, Vanya, Catch. It would be necessary, they say, once you send on the block, but then can be devoured boredom ...

Here again he came, brought the fairing - biscuit with royal table yes tail herring.

- You would have me, Majesty, mead would be better delivered - outraged Vanka. - At most, then, I suppose, the cellars are full and greedy.

- Yes, where I, Vanya ... - Began to complain about the king. - Bins are empty, no taxes, no taxes to pay, the troops - not enough to swear ... You'd better tell me where in my piece of land buried treasure. I would have taken away half the treasury, and the rest would be fed and watered you fill, the new jail would be built, but warmer roomier, with all amenities, not to be ashamed to show overseas guests ...

- I do not know any treasure, I know not ... - Roly at night ter chain links together, hoping to grind and does ubech, so the gold of his did not say anything, as if the king asked him no, whatever promise.

But one day the king to him a week did not come, and so longed for Ivan Kudeyarovich herring tails, even had not the strength circuit grind. Lying on straw, and he thinks he can and will change: a pood of iron, which is bound to his leg, - pounds of gold, it means three pounds will be ...

And then the king arrived in time, mushroom pie brought, albeit small, but freshly baked that the queen herself. Brought, and Vanya does not, pretends that he wants to eat. In actual fact, he ate three of these, so far from the palace to the fortress came ...

- Give it back, Sinister! - Robber grabbed for his dumbbell, picked up and went to the king.

- Ivan, do not take a sin! - Cried the king. - Give better in peace, in a good ...

Robber dropped a weight, grabbed the cake, and swallowed it, he did not notice that, and then he said:

- Let's go together for the treasure, and that without me to find him. Only archers with them not take it, and then I know you - dig out the gold, and I was back in jail drag, and I was bored with nothing to do then sit ...

And the king of peas were about to ambassadors from Shemakhan queen arrive, and the table for them to cover it was not for that, so he had to agree. And he thought that if Roly sbeget can catch it again so people servicemen were not sitting idle, not pants rubbing treasury.

Here they go through the thicket, through the meadow, to the stream ravines yes, then rolled to the left, then right. A forest that is thicker, more frightening uhayut owls, wolves howling, growling bears, boars grunting. If the king had not ordered musketeers secretly monitor them, he would have long ago had suffered fear ...

- All. Came - said Vanka, and pointed to a pine knoll. - Here dig.

I wanted to tell the king that the land to dig - not royal thing, but remember that Vanya weight chained to his leg. Nothing to do - had to dig himself. Once dug - do not dig. Two dug - rusty horseshoe extracted. Three dug - I saw a pot of kryshkoy.Kryshku raised, and there sits a pearl lizard, lizard and the golden crown but with diamonds. She looked at the king and said:

- What do you want ...

And Vanya looked over his shoulder, and while the king was surprised that shout:

- So that weight on me behind!

Chain immediately fell off, pretending to be a snake, crawled into the bushes for a piece of metal and dragged away. A Roly after her run away. And no one caught it: archers proved earlier lost. The king looked at the lizard, and asked:

- Are you, then, any desire to do?

- Not all, but only three, and even then only for those who caught me.

- I want five pounds of gold! - Wished the king.

- And you have not caught yet - said lizard, how will jump out of the pot and into the grass - Shasta.

King, even though no longer young, was, got on all fours and began to chase her. Before the night caught. And as it was dark, it was found that it glows in the dark, and here she has to hide something did not work. King caught her, put the hat and saw beside him a weight of gold climbed out of the ground, the chain had grown, and the king of the chain's leg caught.

- Let go! - Cried the king.

- This is the second desire - counted the lizard, and the chain immediately lost, and a lot of weight in Efimkov evolved.

- And now let Vanka-Cain himself in prison to come and bring their piece of metal, - wished lizard king and immediately released at will.

Gold on the other day at the palace hauled archers, and by night, and Vanya got to jail: it is far, it is seen to escape in time.

- I did not think - he says - that you're a lizard-catching. See, how smart. And me, then why again zaarestovat told?

- I'm the king - the king replied. - Well I understand that if you do not keep in jail, you are my first and robbed. Again, there is now again, with whom to have a heart ...

Sea Tale

It happened not far from here, out of that mountain, like a dinosaur came to drink. Storm began. On the shore, poluzasypanny sand lying on his side the old boat. Boat creaked and sighed heavily. He knew - this is his last storm. Rotten covering not stand the pounding waves. Another hour or two - and it will take away the debris in the sea ...

Only a huge wooden Helm did not share his concerns. The mighty wheel of the wheel, darkened by sea salt impregnated and polished by human hands for so many years, turned to the bustling sea.

Old Helm dreamed. He was an incorrigible romantic, like his friend - the Captain. They both long months are sailing, trying to ignore the grumbling and complaints of the boat, which "needs a warm and calm dock, secured enough tar and paint old age, and not all there travel-adventure ..."

Then Captain old. All he rarely came to visit his ship in port. Ship Helm very bored without his friend. He recalled distant voyages, flocks of flying fish and branches of red and yellow corals in the deep ocean. And then spray-drops, crawling on the arm of his wheels, seemed tears in his wrinkled old man's face. But more fun Helm turn the wheel, imagining themselves in the open sea: "The course south-south-west! Fifteen degrees to the left! Turn over-forestay!"

And now he was thinking about how difficult it is in this weather, ships at sea, as the bulk of boiling foam waves fall on the deck, zakruzhivaya whirlpools and knocking sailors in rubber raincoats ... He wanted to be there with them, help, help out ... And then the wheel was firmly built into the deck.

"Let go of me," - he asked. "Do not let go - grumbled harmful Barkas. - Here's another: Do not enough to tackle deserted the ship and wandered anywhere!"

In the midst of the dispute to the deck cool out old water rat. She still remembered the time when the ship, humming taut screws, the stocks went on his first voyage ... Rat lived a long and peaceful life in the hold, among the boxes of provisions and sailors hammocks. She bite sacks of grain crackers stealing the sailors and cutting jerky. The fact that she could not eat right away, rat hiding in various dark corners of the ship. She had so many hiding places, many of which she herself pozabyvala. Rat thought hold his own, and it is very annoying when some sailor strove kill her or run a mop slippers when she made the evening bypassing their possessions.

Now for the water rat came expanse. Supplies she had in abundance, and mop slippers disappeared along with hammocks and sailors. When the rats wanted something tasty, it gnawed bulkheads hold, smelling of goods from the far southern countries ... Last she broke two teeth, chewing on a piece of wall with the smell of Australian mangoes. Wrapped in a piece of vest, the Rat sat on wet boards and displeasure bristling mustache, watched the helm.

- What, all the creaks? - Rat came waddling to the wheel. Tried to bite off a piece of the wheel. No. Krepkovat yet. Nothing! Soon the salty sea water lapped soften tree.

- Here you stand here - Rat pulled from the gap between the boards and the grain began to chew it, deftly pere6iraya paws - no one wants, rotten dreamer. Enjoyed you while was young - and kicked! Another thing - I am! Look, life lived for myself - I do not need anybody, I will not need it. No dreams, only severe profit. I live quietly in satiety and contentment. The day passed - great! Flew night - too good! Do you think I was doing? Was. According to Young, rat of, I lived in the galley, next to the box for the potatoes. Oh fear suffered enough! All walks shaking, plates, forks fly and spinner all strive ladle slam - that's all the romance.

Helm was listening, listening, and his patience snapped. He reached all of its wooden parts, straightened.

- Do not you understand! Is it possible to compare the sea distance to crowding hold or sharp cry petrel with peaceful lapping of the waves? Thousands of sea devils! Does not disturb the soul stories about terrible monsters depths and underwater caves, mazes, where buccaneers hide the treasure chest? This is the life! You live the sea, to serve him. You - part of the great brotherhood of the sea, where the chief law - help in trouble. Wherever you may be - take your time! Is not that happiness - give happiness? Is not this life - to save the life of another?

Old rats have long eaten grain and now cleaned claws fur. The words did not touch the steering wheel of her bilge soul ...

Suddenly became fierce pounding waves and storm hit longboat with a bang. Rat leaped into the hold, Helm, trembling, shouted toward the elements: "Revie! Cruz, strike! This sailor is not afraid of the storm, and we are never afraid of the captain it! Thunder strike me, if we again will not stand in front of you!"

But then the old Barkas broke down and sigh with relief collapsed. Tired old man fight with the sea and the wind. Old Rat zabivshayasya fear in the darkest corner of the hold, got into the whirlpool with crusty bread, chips and nedogryzennymi bulkheads. A hand wheel ripped from the deck and swept out to sea. There, he had a long swim in the company of different currents and once in a terrible hurricane saved the life of one sailor from the sinking ship. The man clutched the steering wheel, and the two days as I could comfort him, reassuring creaking and turning water wheel. Then they both picked fishermen natives. The man took the wheel to his homeland, in a distant country.

Saved was owner of a large fishing seiner. Now, on the bridge, next to the latest devices and electronic devices, is proud our old wooden Helm, sighs and squeaks ... Dreams. About what? Probably something distant and beautiful ...

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.

Fanta Giro Italian tale with pictures

TugRuS — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 13:27:37 GMT

In a kingdom lived happily Stephen King with his three daughters. Everything in their life was good, only one thing bothering King Stephen, that he had no son.

Stephen King once declared war on the young king of a neighboring kingdom. That's when Stephen strongly pondered: "What shall I do, because I'm old and sick, who will lead my army to war"?

Learning about the cause of the alarm of his father, came to him the eldest daughter:

- I'll be the leader of your troops, - she said - you stay I pleased.

- No, war is not for women, - said the old king.

- Then try me - asked the eldest daughter.

- Well, well, - lost father. But if you think of something feminine, it'll have to come back with the whole army.

After that Stephen King called his faithful servant, and ordered him to accompany the princess on the war, but if the princess will think of something feminine, a servant must return it back together with the army.

When a part of the journey was passed, before the eyes of the travelers were reeds.

- What a great rush! He would have a good spindle! - Exclaimed the princess.

- Home! - Immediately cried the servant. - Turn back! Did you think as a woman, what would you think about a spindle.

The next day came to the king's second daughter, and said that it is now her turn to lead the army. She asked the king for so long and so hard that the king let her, but put the same condition as the eldest daughter - if she'll think of something feminine, you would immediately return home, with the whole army.

And this daughter also went close. Past the reeds she traveled safely. However, when they entered the forest with straight, like a candle, beautiful trees, she could not hold back and gasped:

- What a gorgeous spinning wheel can be made from these wonderful trunks!

- Home, Princess! - Said the faithful servant of the king. - Have you thought about the female case, the spinning wheel.

On the third day before the old king appeared the third daughter, Fanta Giro, and asked his army to war.

- No, - defended Stephen - you're too young. If even your older sister could not handle, then you this is unlikely. A woman always thinks of women's affairs, and war - business man.

But Fanta Giro was not inferior:

- Try to at least try me, because you is not worth anything. Please let me go, you see, I will not disgrace.

King finally surrendered, allowed Fante Giro test himself, but he gave his servant the same instructions as before.

Fanta Giro wearing outfit, took a sword and a pistol and began to look like a man. She sat on the horse, and the army set out.

Here they got to the reeds, past the forest and almost reached the limits of the kingdom, and Fanta Giro and did not say anything. She was a leader of the army.

When they got to the neighboring kingdom, Fanta Giro decided to first talk to the enemy king.
King Matthias was a handsome young man and he liked Fante Hiro at first sight. The king also got sympathy for the young leader of the enemy army. But Mateo was intelligent, perspicacious and immediately suspected that the young man in front of him did not, and, probably, one of the daughters of King neighbor.

To verify this, the young king asked Fanta Giro to his palace for talks.

In the palace Mateo immediately ran to her mother and told her about who he invited to visit and their suspicions that a guest - not a youth, and Fanta Giro.
This is not a prince, a girl Fanta,
Her eyes are like the stars
Hair is long and like gold,
My heart whispers that it was her.

- Do not tear, - said his son's mother. - There are several ways to find out whether it is not a princess in the dress of the young man. Take it to the arsenal. If it's a girl, her arms are not interested, but if this young man, and he will take a look at each.

King Matthias immediately followed the advice. However, Fanta Giro remembered about the condition of his father, and was attentive. She, like a real man, considered and felt her all the swords, shot from all the rifles and pistoles.
The young king went back to his mother:

- It is with a gun, like a real man, but I still think that:

This is not a prince, a girl Fanta,
Her eyes are like the stars
Hair is long and like gold,
My heart whispers that it was her.

But her mother again reassured Mateo.

- I will lead her into the garden. If it is a girl, she will come to the rose. If this is a man, he stopped at a bush of jasmine, picks a twig and secure it to the ear.

The King went with Fanta Giro walk in the garden. But it was on the alert, knew that men love the smell of jasmine. She tore off a branch from a bush blooming and strengthened in his ear.
Quite upset Mateo returned to his mother.

- She plucked jasmine, - he said bitterly. - But my heart told me:

This is not a prince, a girl Fanta,
Her eyes are like the stars
Hair is long and like gold,
My heart whispers that it was her.

The mother, seeing that her son fell in love for real, give him one more tip:

- Try it one last time. Ask her this afternoon swim in the lake. If it's a girl, she will not come.

Mateo asked Fanta Giro to go with him to swim. But she immediately guessed his cunning and said,

- Yes, I can not hurt. But today, the water is already cool, better go to the lake tomorrow.

And that hour Fanta Giro called to her faithful servant and ordered immediately to saddle a horse and take a letter to her father. In the letter she asked Stephen King to send an urgent message if he is terminally ill and wants to see the face of death Fanta Giro.
The next day the king was waiting Mateo Fanta Giro in the garden by the lake. As soon as she appeared in the distance, he took off his clothes and jumped into the water. A Fanta Giro, going to the lake, said:

- I'll wait a little swim, I overheated and want to cool slightly.

In fact, Fanta Giro waiting messenger with a letter from his father.
After a while Mateo again called Fanta Giro swim, but at that moment there was a clatter of hooves and the rider rode through the gate and handed a letter Fante Giro.
She quickly opened it, read it and asked Mateo:

- I'm sorry, but I got the bad news. My father is dying and wants to see me. I have one hour to go. Stephen King would like to make peace, and if you do not mind, come to us.

What could I do to the young king? He was forced to let go of Fanta Giro, never knowing for sure if it was the princess, and telling her that he loved her and wanted to marry her.
After the departure of the young king Fanta Giro homesick. He wandered through the castle, and finally went into the room where she was staying. Here he saw the letter on the table, and in the letter was written.
Dear Mateo!

I'm not a prince, I'm a girl Fanta,
My eyes are like the stars
Hair is long and like gold,
My heart whispers that I love.

The King left the room and skipping ran to his mother:

- Mom, I know that Fanta Giro - a girl. She admitted it. And he ordered the carriage harness, jumped in and ran to the Fante Giro.
Fanta Giro, meanwhile, came to his father and told him how she had outwitted their enemy, and made peace with him. Once they talk, as the bell rang, and drove into the yard coach. It was a coach with love Mateo.

Both kings had made peace, and Fanta Giro married Mateo. He took it with him to his kingdom, and they began to live together happily ever after.

Gift for Santa Claus

Swedish fairy tale

Lived in a northern village carpenter by the name of Anderson, craftsman. One day before the New Year, while his wife and children dressed Christmas tree, Anderson slipped quietly out of the house. He was prepared to shed a bag of gifts, crackers, candy - different toys, and he wanted to dress up as Santa Claus, knock on the door and delight in this unexpected appearance of his Peter, Martha and Olaf.

Carpenter packed gifts for sleds and dragged them to the porch. The house stood on a hill, the slope was steep, Anderson took the time and suddenly slipped and fell right on the sled and rolled down. And - bang! - Bumped from dispersal to the man who was walking along the road - and in the snow, do not know where your hands now, where the legs.

- I beg your pardon! - Anderson said, getting out of the snow.

- It's my fault - was justified stranger, rising from a nearby snowdrift. Like Anderson, he was wearing a fur coat and red hat, dressed as Santa Claus.

- I see you're just like me, dressed up! - Laughed Anderson. - Also want to play their kids, girls, boys? - He reached out to the stranger:

- My name is Anderson. I am a carpenter.

- I'm Santa Claus.

Anderson laughed again.

- Well, the new year - it's time for jokes, for all sorts of jokes and pribautok.

- That's what I thought - the stranger said. - To become a joke even better, let us change, I'll take the gifts to your children, and you visit my. But just take off the suit.

Anderson was puzzled.

- And how do I dress?

- Dress up is not necessary. My children see every day Santa Claus, but they had never seen a real live carpenter. Here too, they will be happy!

"So he really Santa Claus?" - Roger Anderson. Aloud he said:

- But I have nothing to give to your children.

- Gifts? - Thought of Santa Claus. - If you're a real carpenter, take that with pine churbachki, their chisels and drills. And the hammer, too, and the rest will follow!

Anderson took the barn tools and went to the forest, to the house of Santa Claus. And how did he find his way? - Could not be easier - on the trail, to the birch grove and on the two pine trees in a field, and then to a fallen tree, under which - dugout. Because of the three stumps on clearing - three childish nose. And over the nose - three red cap, like Santa Claus.

- Who are you? - Asked the three little Santa Claus.

- I am a carpenter, Anderson, and the road to your house your father showed me Santa Claus.

The children were very happy:

- This live carpenter!

Anders had to bend almost in half to get to the dugout under a fallen tree. But inside it was spacious. The floor was dirt, instead of hemp chairs, beds Moss - so soft that just oh! In the smallest bed lay the smallest Santa Klausenok and grandfather sat in the corner of Santa Claus, hard of hearing, said dully:

- Who is it for us here?

- This is Anderson, a real, live carpenter! - Shouted loud children. They told Anderson that their grandfather is so old that all the time sitting on a stump, never rises.

The older boy pulled Anderson's sleeve

- Can you make the sled? Anderson laid out his tools, got dried churbachki. And he made a sled, comfortable, lightweight, very fast - beautiful work, neat and clean.

- And I need a little bed for the doll! - The girl with red pigtails pulled carpenter for the other sleeve. - I swaddled field mice or squirrels shake, lay them to bed, they love to play dolls with me.

Carpenter cut her a small doll crib.

Younger boy was standing in a corner, eyes lowered to the ground, do not ask.

- What do you give? - Asked Anderson. The boy whispered,

- I do not know.

Anderson made it a top of a pine stump.

- Take brave and be merry!

And then Anderson found a long root with a hook on the end and began to pare down his knife.

- What will you master? - The children gathered around him, but he did not say anything until it has finished. He made a crutch for the oldest Santa Claus!

- This is for you, Grandpa! - The children presented with a crutch old Santa Claus. He grunted, coughed slightly and - rose from hemp!

And the youngest Santa Klausenku carpenter fashioned fast bird of shavings - a seemingly titmouse.

- Thank you, Carpenter Anderson! - Cried the children in chorus. - We have never had such a good New Year - with gifts and present, alive carpenter!

Back home, the first thing Anderson said

- Well, what gifts brought to you by Santa Claus shows.

- It's like you've never seen! - Peter, Martha and younger Olaf looked at each other slyly. - It is you dressed in Santa Claus and brought us presents on a sledge.

- What do you say to this day have I met a real, live Santa Claus and was at his house, and was making gifts to his children, but a real, live Santa Claus is coming to you.

The children laughed loudly.

- Dad, it was you, we've guessed. Even a small Olaf knows that miracles do not happen!

Anderson worked up:

- It was a real, live Santa Claus!

But Peter, Martha and little Olaf would not believe, and then the carpenter Anderson came to me and asked him to write the story down on paper, quill pen and ink. When telling stories, then privrut, it happens for witty red, but if the pen on paper, there's true, it's clear!

When the feast was at an end, Prince Ivan seized a moment and ran home. Spotted frog skin and burned it in the fire.

Vasilisa the Wise came home, enough - no frog skin! She ran to look for her. Looking, looking - not found and said Ivan Tsarevich:

- Ah, Prince Ivan, what have you done! If you had waited another three days, I'd always been thy. And now farewell, look for me to distant lands, to distant seas, in fairy kingdom, sunflower state in Koschei Immortal. As three pairs of iron shoes wear, the three iron izgryzesh bread - only then razyschesh me ...

Prince Ivan thanked the old man and went for the ball.

Rolling a ball on the high mountains, rolling through the dark woods, rolling on the green meadows, rolling on Carr marshes rolling on recess, and Ivan Tsarevich everything goes so goes after him - do not stop to rest or for an hour.

Shel-go, the third pair of iron shoes Easter, the third iron izgryz bread, and came to a dense forest. Bear comes out to meet him.

"Let me kill the bear! - Think Ivan Tsarevich. - Because I have no food no more. "

He took aim, and the bear suddenly and said to him in a human voice:

- Do not kill me, Prince Ivan! Someday I will be of use to you.

Not touch the Prince Ivan bear pity, went further.

He is a pure field, looking - and above it flies great drake.

Prince Ivan drew his bow, I wanted to bring to the arrowhead of drake and duck and said to him in a human:

- Do not kill me, Prince Ivan! There will be time - I'll be of use.

Sorry Prince Ivan Drake - did not touch it, went on hunger.

Suddenly ran out to meet him oblique hare.

"I'll kill this hare! - Thinks the prince. - It's too hungry ... "

He pulled his taut bow, took aim, and Hare said to him with a human voice:

- Do not destroy me, Prince Ivan! There will be time - I'll be of use.

And he wished the prince, went further.

He went out to the blue sea, and saw on the shore, on the yellow sand, lies pike fish. Prince Ivan said:

- Well, now that pike eat you! My urine is no more - so I'm hungry!

- Ah, Prince Ivan, - spake pike, - have mercy on me, do not eat me, throw better in the blue sea!

Prince Ivan took pity on a pike, threw it into the sea, and went to the shore for his ball.

Long or a short - rolled a ball into the woods to the cabin. Cost is the hut on chicken legs, turns around him.

Prince Ivan said:

- Teddy Bear, Teddy bear, turn his back to the forest, to me before!

A hut at his word turned his back to the forest, but to him before. Ivan Tsarevich went into the hut and saw lying on the stove Baba Yaga - leg bone. She saw the prince and said:

- Why me complain, my good fellow? Willy-nilly?

- Oh, Baba Yaga - leg bone, you would feed me before, so drunk in the bath was evaporated, then we would inquire!

- That's true! - Meets Baba Yaga.

She fed Ivan Tsarevich, drunk, in the bath was evaporated, and the prince told her that he was looking for his wife, Vasilisa the Wise.

- I know, I know! - Said Baba Yaga. - It is now the villain Koschei Immortal. It will be hard to get, easy to manage Koshcheev: it neither boom nor the bullet did not kill him. Because no one and he is not afraid.

- Yes there where his death?

- His death - by the end of the needle is the needle - in the egg, the egg - in the duck, that duck - a hare, the hare - forged in the casket, but the casket - on top of an old oak. And the oak that grows in the woods.

Baba Yaga told Ivan Tsarevich how to get the oak. Prince thanked her and walked away.

For a long time he made his way to a dense forest in swamps swamp elm and came at last to Koshcheeva oak. Stands that oak top in a cloud rests, roots for a hundred miles in the land spread, branches red sun closed. And at the very top of it - forged casket.

Prince Ivan looks at the oak and does not know what to do, how to get the chest.

"Oh - I think - somewhere bear? He would help me! "

I thought there was, and the bear was right there: he ran and eversion with oak roots. From the top of the casket fell and broke into pieces.

Jumped out of the casket and the hare fled.

"Somewhere my rabbit? - Thinks the prince. - He caught up with this hare definitely be ... "

Do not have time to think, and the hare was right there: caught another hare, grabbed and ripped in half. Flew out of the rabbit and duck rose high in the sky.

"Somewhere my duck?" - Thinks the prince.

And as for drake duck flies - in the head bite. Dropped the duck egg and the egg fell into the blue sea ...

Zagoreval Prince Ivan, stands on the shore and said:

- Somewhere in my pike? She took me to the egg from the bottom of the sea!
