Here the brothers went to the city, came to the horse, look - a lot of horses, and choose not anything, it's not a match for them, good fellow!

Says one brother to another:

- Let's go to the other end of the square, Look, the people there that the crowd - by the thousand!

Came there, pushed forward - the oak pillars stand two stallions to iron chains chained, one in six and one in twelve; eager horses with chains, bits bite, dig the earth hooves. No one approach them close dares.

Immediately one brother went to the stallion that the six chains were fixed, and the other brother - to the fact that the twelve chains held. Steel was in the teeth look - where? Stallions reared and snore ...

Brothers hit their knees to the chest - the chain flew, stallions for five yards rebounded, fell to the ground.

At one pole is written, "Who will go to the right, he will be king," and on the other post says, "Who will go to the left, he will be killed."

Brothers stopped, read labels and think: to whom to go? Both the number one road is empty - no honor, not praise their heroic strength, youthful daring, go alone to the left - do not want anyone to die!

Yes, there is nothing to do - says one of the brothers of the other:
