Giant and the tailor
To one tailor, the big boaster, but the bad payer, has taken in head to walk somehow and in wood to glance. As soon as it has appeared possible, it left a workshop
Also has gone road,
That крутою, sloping,
Where the bridge, where through ford,
All forward yes all forward.
And here during a way he has seen in the distance abrupt mountain, and behind it the highest tower which towered over dark and dense wood. "Ого! The tailor has exclaimed. - that it could be?" - and, incited by curiosity, it has directly gone to this mountain.
But as he has stared, when has approached more close and has seen, that the tower has feet, that this tower has risen, has stepped through mountain and became before the tailor in an image of an enormous giant!
"That here it is necessary for you, a pity midge?" - the giant a loud voice has shouted.
The tailor has uttered indistinctly: "I Wish to take a look around, whether will be to me here in wood small заработочек". - "If so, - the giant, - so you has told, perhaps, and to me on service can arrive". - "Why also is not present? And what will be necessary to me the salary?" - "what salary? And here all right to listen. Every year I will present to you three hundred sixty five days of a life, and in leap - it is more one day. Whether it is Enough you?" - "perhaps, and it is enough", - the tailor answered, and about itself has thought: "Cut your coat according to the cloth! Well it is necessary to try somewhat quicker from it to get off".
Then the giant has told to it: "Go, the little rogue, yes bring to me a water mug". - "Instead of whether to drag all well and a key too by the way is better?" Has asked хвастунишка, took a mug and has followed water. "That the such? All well and a key too? - The giant (and крепколоб and was silly, warm has murmured to itself in a beard!), and in its soul the fear has crept in: - Yes this guy sophisticated any! Whether there is no at it a bewitching root in a stock? Be cautious, old Hans, it not on you the servant!"
When the tailor has returned with водою, the giant ordered to cut in wood an armful-other of fire wood and to bring to it.
"Instead of whether is better weigh wood at once,
All wood as is,
To a root снесть,
Both small, and big,
With branches and foliage? - The tailor has asked and has gone to cut fire wood.
- What?
All wood as is,
To a root снесть,
Both small, and big,
With branches and foliage, both a well everything, and a key, by the way? - The credulous giant to itself in a beard has grumbled, and began to be afraid even more: - This guy precisely sophisticated, and at it, likely, is a bewitching root in a stock! Be cautious, old Hans, not the servant it to you! "
When the tailor has returned with fire wood, the giant has ordered to it to shoot by a supper of two-three wild boars. "And why not one thousand at once, one shot?! And all here to pull down?" - the obsequious tailor has asked. "As? - The giant reafraid outright has exclaimed. - is not present, for today will suffice! Go and go to bed".
The giant to such degree has been frightened, that all night long the eye has not closed also all considered, as though to it to get rid of it servants which, undoubtedly, with the dirty is known somewhat quicker.
It is known, that tomorrow is a new day.
For other morning a giant and the tailor have gone to a bog about which on coast grew to many osier-bed.
Here the giant also has told to the tailor: "Hear ve, the tailor! Sit down ick you on one of these branches, to me the death was to be looked, whether it will be bent under you".
Also wash the tailor now has taken seat on a willow branch, was puffed up and has tried so to be inflated and become heavy, that a branch and it is exact under it it was bent, yes on a trouble портняга we has forgotten an iron with itself(himself) to grasp! And here, the branch, having unbent, to great pleasure of a giant so upwards has thrown портнягу, that it even from eyes has disappeared...
If it from above has not fallen down, and now still, perhaps, in air rushes... |
