Lines with demanding gold hairs
One poor woman has given birth to a sonny and as he was born under a lucky star also to him it has been foretold, that it already on the fourteenth year will receive a royal daughter in the wife.
Happens so, that soon after that the king has arrived to the same village and nobody knew, that it the king.
He began to ask at people, that the newcomer, and to it have told: "the child in a shirt Was born these days; and who so will be born, to that in all good luck! Here to it and forward it is foretold, that on the fourteenth year the king will give the daughter to it in the wife".
The king, the person bad, on this prediction has become angry, has gone to parents of the child, has pretended to be tender and has told: "Poor men you hapless, give me your child, I will take care of it".
At first parents refused, but as the stranger offered them for the child pure gold, yes besides they have still thought: "It after all the lucky beggar was born, at it and so in all good luck will be", - that in the end have agreed and have given it the child.
The king has put the child in a box and has gone with it путемдорогою, has not arrived yet to a whirlpool; there he also has thrown this box and has thought: "Here I also have relieved a daughter of the uninvited groom".
And the box has not sunk and began a ship to float on a surface of water and in it has not passed droplets.
It has floated on water and has come in a vicinity of royal capital, to a mill; at a mill on a dam it also has stood.
The worker from that mill which, fortunately, stood on a dam and that box has noticed, has tightened its hook to coast and thought in it to find the big treasures, and instead of that, having opened a box, has seen in it the nice little boy, крепенького and здоровенького.
It has brought it to the miller with мельничихой and as at them children were not, they very much were delighted to this little boy and have told: "the God has sent it to us!" And then have brought up the small foundling, and it began to grow at them in any virtue.
Happens, that once during a thunder-storm the king has turned on their mill and their this adult fellow has asked the miller with мельничихой, whether the son. "Is not present, - they answered, is a foundling; about fourteen years ago it in a box to our dam has brought, and its our worker from water has pulled out".
Here the king has seen, that it not who other as the same lucky beggar whom he in water has thrown, and has told: "And what, darlings, whether your fellow from me письмецо to the queen will take down - I gold for it would give two to it?" "Why, if your favour it is necessary", - kind people have answered and have ordered to the fellow to be made.
Then the king has written to the queen the letter in which it has been written: "As soon as the small will bring to you this my letter, I order to kill and bury immediately it, and all it that has been executed before my returning home".
The guy with this letter, yes заплутал has gone, and has strayed till the evening, and has got to the big wood. In darkness he has seen a small spark, has gone on it and has arrived to an izba.
When it has entered into an izba, the old woman at fire one-odineshenka there sat. She was frightened, having seen the fellow, and has asked it: "Whence you go and where a way you hold?" - "I go from a mill, - he answered; - and a way I am insolent to the queen - the letter to it should transfer; yes here has lost the way in wood, whether so it is impossible for me to spend the night here?" - "ah you, the poor creature! - the old woman has told to it. - after all you have come into the predatory brothel and when robbers will return, they will kill you". - "And whoever has come, - the young man has told, - I am not afraid; and besides, I so have got tired, that all the same I can not go further". It was extended on a bench, and has fallen asleep.
Soon after that robbers have come and have asked angrily, that it for another's little boy here has sprawled. "Ah, - the old woman has told, is an innocent child - in wood, вишь, has lost the way, and I have let in it here from состраданья: and it is sent with the letter to the queen".
Robbers have opened the letter and have read in it an order of this small to kill immediately as soon as it will come. Here robbers had on it compassion, and their ataman, having broken off the letter, has written another in which it has been registered that this fellow immediately after the arrival to marry to a royal daughter.
And here they have allowed to it full possibility to sleep on a bench till next morning and when he has woken up the letter to it have given also the present road to it have specified.
The queen on receipt of the letter has read it and has arrived on the will expressed in it - has ordered to arrange a magnificent wedding celebration and to marry a royal daughter to the lucky beggar. And as the young man was beautiful and very tender, also the princess lived with it in full pleasure and the consent.
Some time later the king has returned to the lock and has seen, that the prediction has come true also the lucky beggar таки is married to his daughter. "As it could happen? - He has told. - after all I in the letter we wash absolutely other order gave".
Then the queen has submitted to it the letter and has told, that he can see itself, that in the letter is written. The king has read the letter and was convinced of his letter is changed by another.
He has asked the young man where it put the letter entrusted to it and why has replaced with its another. "Anything about it I do not know, - that answered, - unless at its night to me have changed, when I have stayed the night in wood". Then the angered king has told: "Well, it to you will not descend for nothing! Who wishes to be the husband of my daughter, that should me extract from an underworld three gold hairs from a head line; if you will bring to me what I demand, remain the husband of a daughter".
The king thought thus from it for ever to get off. But the lucky beggar answered it: "All right, I will bring to you three gold hairs - after all I line at all am not afraid".
Then it has said goodbye to the king and was started up in wandering. It has by-dorogoju reached the big city where the gatekeeper, letting in it, has asked, what craft it understands and that knows. "Yes I know all", - the lucky beggar answered. "So render us the favour, - the watchman has started talking, - tell, why our fountain on a market square from which before beat струею wine, has absolutely run low now and even some water does not give?" - "I all will explain it to you, the young man has told, - here only allow to me to be turned back back".
Then it has gone further and has come to other city; and here the gatekeeper has asked it what it the craft understands and that knows. "Yes I know all", the young man answered. "So make the favour, explain you to us why one tree in our city on which during former time gold apples grew, now even on itself does not carry leaves?" - "I all will explain it to you, - the young man has told, - wait only for my returning".
Both has gone further, and has come to the big river through which it should be forwarded. Here the carrier has asked it, it understands what craft and that knows. "Yes I know all", - the young man has told. "So make the favour, tell to me why I should move back and forth here the century and in any way of it I can not get rid?" - "you learn it, - the young man answered, - allow only to me to return back".
As soon as it was forwarded through the river as has come across an input in an underworld.
In the underworld of a wall were black from soot and a soot; and the house line was not, and only his mother sat on the spacious armchair. "That to you?" - she has asked the young man and has by sight seemed to it completely not malicious. "Yes here, it would be necessary to me to be got by three gold hairs from a head line, - the young man answered, - instead of that it is necessary to me to leave the wife". "Well, you very many have wanted, - she has told, - after all if lines returns yes will find you here, so to you несдобровать; but you it is a pity to me, and I will look, whether I can to you than help".
It has turned it мурашом and has told: "Creep in folds of my dress, there to you will happen nothing bad". - "It is all so, - the young man has told, - but I have not enough of it; I should what learn here still: why the fountain which wine beat before, has run low now and even some water does not give? Why the tree on which during former time gold apples grew, now even on itself does not carry leaves? And still: why one carrier should go all back and forth from coast to coast and in any way of it cannot get rid?" - "sophisticated you have set to me questions, - she answered, - however sit смирненько yes quietly, yes listen to that begins to answer lines when I at it will pull out three gold hairs".
With approach of evening and lines has come back home. It has hardly entered an underworld as has scented, that air in it not that. "I feel, I here feel human meat, - he has told. - here something not so".
Also it has gone to look on all corners and back streets - and anywhere has found nothing. And his mother allow it to scold: "all is Only just put out and in an order is resulted, and you to me again will spoil all! Нанюхался there human meat so it to you everywhere also seems. Sit down and eat the supper".
When it has gorged on and has got drunk, has felt exhaustion, has put mothers a head on knees and has asked, that it at it in a head has looked.
Has a little passed time, and it and has breathed heavily, and захрапел. Then the old woman has found out at it in a head a gold hair, has pulled out it and has put aside. "Ah-ah! - fig. - That it with you has shouted?" - "yes here, such bad dream has dreamt me, - mother answered it, - that I and have seized you for hair". - "That such has dreamt you?" - has asked fig. "Has dreamt me, that the fountain on a market square from which there is stream was beaten by wine, suddenly so has run low, that now from it and waters not to extract... What to it for the reason?" - "Эх, кабы they only knew! - answered fig. - In that fountain the toad sits under one stone; and if they kill that toad, so wine again from it a stream to beat begins".
There was again at it mother in a head to touch, and touched, while he has not fallen asleep at all and not захрапел so, that windows shivered. Then it at it has pulled out the second gold hair. "У-у! What do you do it?" - fig. has angrily shouted "do not complain about me! - mother has responded. - after all it I in a dream". - "Yes that there has again dreamt you?" - "and here has dreamt, that in some kingdom there is a tree, and on that tree before, happened, gold apples grew, and now and leaves are not present. What to it could cause?" - "Ээ, кабы they knew yes knew! - answered fig. - At that tree a root гложет the mouse; it is necessary to kill that mouse, and on a tree gold apples will grow again; and if to it still will allow to gnaw that root so the tree and absolutely will dry up. But only you, please, do not disturb me more dreams; and if you will disturb, I then with you in a familiar way will finish!"
Mother managed to calm again it, and it again began to touch at it in hair while he has not fallen asleep and did not begin to snore. Then it has seized also the third gold hair and has pulled out it.
Lines has jumped, has cried in all to a drink and wished to manage abruptly with it, but it once again has coaxed it and has told: "That you will begin to do with these bad dreams!" - "yes that could dream you?" - he has asked, being curious to learn its dream. "Yes here, the carrier which all complains that it should go the century back and forth on the river dreamt me and in any way it can be released from it. What to that for the reason?" "E-eh, the simpleton-simpleton! - answered fig. - Yes after all it is necessary to it to transfer only a pole in hands to the first who in its boat to move will take in head, then it and will be released; and that should become on its place a carrier".
As mother has pulled out at it from a head all three gold hairs and on all three questions has received answers she has left old line alone and has allowed to it to sleep till the dawn.
When lines it was again cleaned from the house, the old woman has extracted мураша from folds of the dress and again has returned to the lucky beggar its human image. "Here to you three gold hairs, - she has told, - and answers line on your three questions you, possibly, too heard?" - "yes, - that answered, heard and has remembered them". - "Well so you have received everything, that wanted, - she has told, - and now can go своею дорогою".
He has thanked the old woman for the help, has left an underworld and was glad радешенек, that to it all so has successfully escaped punishment. When it has come to a carrier, that has demanded from it the promised answer. "At first transport me, the lucky beggar promised, - then I will tell, how to you of your trouble to get rid".
And when that has transported it on opposite coast, it has transferred it council line: "As somebody else will come and will want to move, transfer it only a pole in hands".
It has gone further and has arrived to a city in which stood неплодное a tree; here again the gatekeeper has demanded from it the answer. He and to that has told the same, that heard from line: "Kill the mouse which гложет a tree root, and it again begins to bring gold apples".
Its watchman has thanked and in the award has given to it of two donkeys loaded with gold.
At last it has arrived to a city in which the fountain has run low. And there too it has told to the gatekeeper that heard from line: "the toad in a fountain under a stone Sits, you then also your fountain will beat wine again" should find and kill her.
The watchman has thanked him and too has presented to it of two donkeys loaded with gold.
At last the lucky beggar has arrived home to the wife who warmly was delighted, having seen with it and having heard what to it in all was good luck.
To the king it has brought that that demanded, - three gold hairs; and when that still увидал four donkeys with gold was absolutely happy and has told: "Well, now all conditions are executed, and the daughter washing can remain твоею женою. But tell you to me, the darling зятек, whence at you is so much gold? After all here considerable treasure!" - "yes here, I was forwarded through the river, - the son-in-law answered the father-in-law, - so from that river with itself has taken: there it заместо to sand ashore rolls". - "And what?, Perhaps, therefrom it is possible for me of gold понабраться?" - the king has told, and eyes at it have inflamed from greed. "How many it is necessary for soul, - the son-in-law answered, - there on the river and the carrier is; order to transport to it you on opposite coast, there and нагребете gold полнехоньки bags".
The greedy king has hasty gathered in a way and when has arrived to the river has cluck a carrier that that has forwarded it.
The carrier also has swum up to coast, and has invited him in the boat, and on other coast it has transported; and there has transferred it a pole in hands, and has jumped out of a boat.
Here also it was necessary to the king to be for its sins on the river a carrier. Perhaps and now on that transportation lives.
Probably, anybody at it a pole does not take! |
