The poor farm laborer on a mill and a kitty
Veins on an old mill the old man-miller; there were no at it neither the wife, nor children, and only three farm laborers were at it in a service.
After they have stayed at it some years, he it has told once: "I am already old and would wish to be filled up on an oven; and you go on белу to light, and that from you which will result to me the best horse, will receive from me a mill in possession yes let me to the death and прокармливает".
And the third farm laborer worked on засыпке, and all considered it silly and a mill to it did not designate; and he did not think, that it can get to it.
Here also there were all of them three on searches and when have come to the first village two seniors have told to silly Hans: "Remain you here, all the same to you during a life not to extract any jade!"
Hans, however, did not lag behind them, and when there has come night, three of them have approached to a cave in which have laid down to sleep. Those two that is cleverer, have waited, while Hans has fallen asleep, and then have risen and have left, having left Hans of one, and thought, that have very artfully arrived (and to it still it is necessary to pay for it!)...
When the sun has ascended also Hans has woken up, he has seen, that lays in a deep cave; began circle to look back and has exclaimed: "My God, yes where it I?" Here it has risen, has got out of a cave, left in wood and has thought: "One I here also am left all! How I will reach now the horse?"
Meanwhile as it so went and deliberated, the small motley kitty has got to it towards and has told to it tenderly: "Hans where you have gathered?" - "ah, lag behind! After all you to me in what you can not render the help!" - "I know, that you wish, - the kitty has told, - you wish to find a beautiful horse. We will go with me and be you to me within seven years true слугою; so I to you will get such horse, what you in a life in eyes not видывал!"
"Предиковинная a cat, - Hans has thought, - but I nevertheless wish to look, whether she speaks the truth".
And here it took it with herself in twist the bewitched lock where all servants at it consisted of kitties; and all quickly and cheerfully ran on ladders upwards and downwards.
In the evening when a kitty with Hans for a table sat down, three cats should console them музыкою: one played a contrabass, another on a violin, the third blew in a pipe, преусердно inflating cheeks.
Hardly they finished to have dinner, the table was immediately taken out, the kitty spoke: "Well, Hans, dance with me". - "Is not present, - he answered, - with a cat I never danced and to dance I will not begin". - "Well so will put it to bed", - the kitty spoke to other cats.
Then one shone to it of candles in its bedchamber, another разувала it, the third removed from it stockings, the fourth blew into a candle when he has been undressed.
Next morning they again came and helped it to get out of bed: one put on to it stockings, another tied up garters, the third brought footwear, the fourth washed it and then wiped to it the person the tail. "She very dexterously and softly is able to do it", - Hans spoke.
But also it, in turn, should serve a kitty and every day to cut fire wood; on it the axe silver, a wedge, and a saw - too silver, and a beater copper stood out to it.
And here it pricked to itself(himself) fire wood for a kitty, veins at it in the house, is sweet ate also saws but anybody never saw, except a motley kitty and its retinue.
Once she has told to it: "Go and выкоси to me mine лужок, yes dry up to me a grass".
Also has given it a plait silver, and брусок gold, but has ordered to it to return all.
Hans has gone and has executed that was ordered it; выкосив a meadow, it has brought a plait, брусок and hay back and has asked, whether it can pay it now the compensation deserved by it. "Is not present, - the kitty has told, before you to me should make one more business: here and logs on a structure silver, and an axe, and скрепы, and all necessary too from silver; construct to me of all it a small small house".
Hans has constructed a small house and has told, that now it has executed all, and the horse promised still is not present.
And meanwhile conditional seven years have leaked as if half a year. Its kitty has asked, whether he wishes to choose from its horses. I "want", - Hans has told. Then it to it has opened a small house, and as soon as the door was opened, he sees there are there in a stall twelve horses, статных yes beautiful such, that on them heart rejoiced!
Then she has fed him and has given to drink and has told: "Go now home; I will not give your horse to you with myself, and here in three days itself I will arrive also a horse I will result".
Here Hans in road also has gathered, and she has shown to it how to pass on a mill, but has not given it even a new dress, and there should be it in the old, darned semicaftan, and it for seven years became it everywhere both is short, and is narrow.
When it home has returned, also other two farm laborers too have come on a mill: both have resulted horses with themselves, yes at one horse there was a chrome, and at another - is blind.
"Hans, and where your horse?" - its farm laborers have asked. "In three days will be here".
Those have burst out laughing and have told: "Well, yes if you a horse you will extract, so present will be!"
Hans has gone to the house, but the miller has told to it that it with them did not sit down a table - such clothes at it fragmentary and лохмотная, that it should to be ashamed for it if who the stranger has entered. Here they also have taken out to it of a few meal for doors and when in the evening all to sleep have gone, two others did not want it and bed to give, and it, at last, should get into a goose shelter and settle on rigid straw.
Next morning, when he has woken up, three days both passed; the vehicle harnessed шестериком of horses also has suddenly approached, and all of them and shone - to look любо!
And at a vehicle there was also a servant which conducted in an occasion the seventh horse for poor Hans.
The vehicle left the beauty-princess and has entered on a mill, and this princess was that kitty at whom poor Hans has served seven years.
She has asked the miller, where its younger farm laborer. The miller answered it: "we and start up That on a mill we can not - it all in a tatter; well also rolls somewhere in a goose shelter".
The princess has ordered to call him now. Have resulted it, and it has been compelled by a hand to hold the semicaftan to cover tears on it.
Here the servant of the princess has untied a suitcase with a rich dress, has washed up the farm laborer both has dressed up, and there was it the king-king. Then the princess has wanted to look at those horses who have been resulted by other farm laborers: one has appeared lame, another - blind.
Here she has ordered to the to the servant to result the seventh horse; both its miller has seen, and has told, that such horse at it on a court yard and did not happen.
"And I have resulted this horse to your younger farm laborer", - the princess has told. "Well, so to it I give also a mill", - the miller has told.
But the princess has presented to the miller of a horse yes has left behind it and a mill, and itself took the true Hans, has planted with itself in a vehicle yes with it and has left.
They have gone at first to that small small house, which Hans has constructed silver плотничьим the tool, and that small house has addressed in the big lock, and all in that lock silver yes the gold; there they and wedding have played, and it became rich, so is rich, that on all his eyelids of riches have sufficed.
Here to people kind and a science: let do not speak, as if who is not clever, so on as is not suitable. |
