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 ...
