Three black princesses
The city of Ostende has been besieged by enemies, and they did not wish to remove from a siege city, and six hundred thalers to a payoff demanded at first from it. Here also it has been declared, that who this money can deliver, that in burgomasters will be selected at once.
Also there was there a poor fisherman, it fished on the sea with the son, but the enemy has come and has taken its son prisoner, and to the father in compensation has given six hundred thalers.
Here both the fisherman has gone and has given this money to misters in a city, and the enemy has raised a siege, and the fisherman has got in burgomasters.
Then it has been declared: who will not tell, addressing to it: "the Mister the burgomaster", - that it is necessary to condemn to the gallows.
The son meanwhile has had time to run from the enemy and has come in the big wood to a high mountain.
That mountain was opened, and the son of the fisherman has got to the big magic castle in which both chairs, and tables, and benches have been covered by a black matter.
Three princesses have come to it - and are dressed in black, and the person чернехоньки.
They have told to it: "be not afraid of us, we to you will not make any harm, and you relieve us of charms can".
He answered it, as is glad them to relieve, yes does not know, how to it to be accepted.
Then they have told, that he should not speak the whole year with them and should not look at them; and if that is necessary for it, he while they answer him should tell now can, and they will execute its desire.
He has told, that would wish to descend to the father, and they have told to it, that it can descend, and let takes with itself hardly filled purse, and the dress will put on the good; in eight days should return here again.
Here it was picked up by any force, and it has come to be in a native city of Ostende.
It could not find the father in its fishing hut and began to ask people where the poor fisherman disappeared, and to it answered, that he so it did not name, instead of that will get on the gallows.
Then it has come to the father and speaks: "the Fisherman where it you have got?"
And the father too speaks it: "do not speak so, not that will be heard by misters city, and you will please directly on the gallows". But he and to trust did not want, that for it it can hang up.
When it was necessary to it to pay off for the words he has told: "the Lord fair, permit me only to descend to look at an old fishing hut".
There he has put on the old dress, has again returned and has told: "All right to look, unless I not the son of the poor fisherman? In this dress I to the father with mother bread earned".
Then they have learnt it and have elicited to it the pardon, and took to itself home, and he here has told to all of them, that with it happens: as it has come in wood to a high mountain and as the mountain was opened and as it has got to the bewitched lock where all has been fitted black and as there were to it three princesses dressed in black and the person black; as they to it have told, that he was not afraid of them, therefore it relieves them of charms can.
On it mother has told to it: "Here, maybe, something bad is covered; take with itself the consecrated candle yes drip it the kindled wax on the person".
Here it also has gone back, and decently was afraid, yes as has dripped it on the person wax during their dream so they immediately have half turned white.
Yes as all will jump three as will shout: "the Damned dog! Our blood should fall on your head!. Now is not present on light of the person which could relieve us! But there are at us three brothers, on seven chains are chained, those will tear to pieces you!"
Also shout yes a cry has risen in all lock, and fishermen the son hardly has had time to jump out of a window, even a foot has thus broken, and the lock has vanished into thin air, the mountain has slammed, and anybody could not specify, where it was. |
