Fairy tale on the one who went to fear to study
One father lived with two sons. The senior was clever, sharp-witted, and any business at it was argued in hands, and younger was silly, dull also to anything could not learn.
People spoke, looking at it: "With it the father will not be gathered yet efforts!"
When it was necessary to make something, all one senior should work; but it was shy, and when his father behind something sent позднею at times, особливо at night and if besides the road passed by a cemetery or other terrible place, he answered: "Ah, no, the father, I will not go there! Very much боязно to me".
At times when in the evening by the fireside there were cock-and-bull stories from which the frost on a skin tore, listeners exclaimed: "Ah, passions what!" And younger listened, sitting in the corner, and in any way could not understand, that it meant: "Here затвердили: terribly yes it is terrible! And me here droplets not terribly! And at all I am not able to be afraid. Should be, it also one of that knowledge which I understand nothing".
Once the father has told to it: "Listen, you, there, in a corner! You grow also forces are typed: it is necessary also to you to learn any craft to extract to itself a daily bread. You see, how your brother works; and you, the right, it is for nothing by bread to feed it is necessary". - "Эх, the father! - that answered. - I very would like to learn something. Yes if on that has gone, very much it would be desirable for me to learn fear: I after all am not able to be afraid at all".
The big brother has burst out laughing, having heard such speeches, and has thought about itself: "My God the mercy! Well and the simpleton the brother at me! Anything acceptable does not leave it. Who wishes to be a hook, that in advance a back bend!"
The father has sighed and answered: "to Fear you still will by all means learn, yes some bread to yourself it will not earn".
Soon after that the sexton has called on them, and the old man began it to complain of the grief: its son has not adapted-de to any business, knows nothing also to nothing studies. "Well, think only: when I have asked it, than he begins itself to earn bread, he has answered, that very much would like to learn fear!" - "if behind it only business became, - the sexton answered, - so I undertake to train it. Send it to me. I it am live I will process".
The father was happy with it in hope, that small though will a little break off.
So, the sexton took to itself the guy home and has charged to it to call in a bell.
Day through two it has woken him at midnight, ordered to rise, ascend to it on a belltower and to call; and itself thinks: "Well, you will learn now to fear!"
Has made the way quietly forward, and when the guy, having risen upward, has turned back to undertake a cord from a bell, before it on a ladder against a skylight someone has come to be in the white.
He has shouted: "Who there? - But that did not answer and did not move. - hey, answer! - the fellow has cried again. - or be cleaned in good time! There is nothing you to do at night here".
But the sexton was motionless, that the guy has accepted it for a ghost.
The guy has again addressed to it: "That it is necessary for you here? Answer, if you the fair small; instead of I you will dump that from a ladder!"
The sexton has thought: "Well, it you, my brother, only so speak", - and have not uttered a sound, stood, as if the stone.
And in fourth time the guy has shouted to it, but again has not achieved the answer. Then it has rushed on a ghost and has pushed off it from a ladder so, that, having counted ten steps, it was stretched in a corner.
And the guy has stopped ringing to itself, has come home, has laid down, without a word, in bed and has fallen asleep.
Long waited дьячиха for the husband, but that all did not come. At last to it it became terrible, it has woken the guy and has asked: whether "you know, where my husband? It after all just before you has ascended to a belltower". - "Is not present, - that answered, - and here on a ladder against a skylight stood ктото and as he did not wish neither to answer me, nor to be cleaned, I have accepted it for the swindler and have lowered it from a ladder. Podite look, whether it it was. It would be a pity to me, if that bad with it has befallen". Has rushed there дьячиха and увидала the husband: has broken a foot, lays in a corner and groans.
It has transferred it home and has hastened with loud shouts to the father of the guy: "your son has done a trouble great: my husband has dumped from a ladder so warm a foot has broken. Take you the villain from our house!"
The father was frightened, has come running to the son and выбранил it: "That for a mischief богомерзкие! Али you crafty попутал?" - "Ah, the father, only listen to me! - that answered. - I am completely not guilty. It stood there in darkness, as if angrily what умышлял. I did not know, who it, and persuaded him four times to answer me or to leave". - "Ah, - the father, - from you has objected me one misfortunes! Be cleaned you from my eyes, to see I you I do not want!" - "your will, the father, all right! Wait only till a dawn: I will leave to myself, I will begin to be trained in fear; perhaps, I learn though one science which will support me". "Study in that you want, me all the same, - the father has told. - here to you fifty thalers, go with them wherever one wishes and dare to affect to nobody, whence you come also who your father that me not to shame". - "All right, the father if anything else from me it is not required, all will be to yours. I can easily observe it".
At a dawn the guy has put fifty thalers in a pocket and left on the big road, muttering about itself: "Though the fear would attack me! Though the fear would attack me!"
Any person, услыхавший these speeches has approached to it, and they began to continue together a way.
They have soon caught sight of the gallows, and the companion has told to it: "you See, there there is a tree on which seven with a rope loop спознались, and now to fly study. Sit down under that tree and wait for night - you will not be gathered to fear!" - "well, if only in it business, - the guy answered, - so it is not difficult. If I so soon learn fear you will manage my fifty thalers: come only tomorrow early in the morning here to me".
Then has approached to the gallows, villages under it and has waited there evenings. To it it became cold, and it has dissolved a fire, but by midnight so the wind has freshened up, that the guy and at fire could not be warmed in any way.
Wind the friend about the friend shook corpses hung up, they стукались. The guy also has thought: "I am cold even here, at fire, - what by it мерзнуть and to be wound there above?"
And, as heart at it was feeling pity, it has put a ladder, has got upward, has untied висельников one behind another and has lowered all seven down to the ground. Then it has inflated properly fire and рассажал all of them around that they could be warmed.
But they sat motionlessly so the flame began to cover their clothes. He has told it: "Hey, you, be protected! Instead of I you again will hang up that!" But dead persons have heard nothing, were silent and did not prevent to burn to the tatter.
Here he has become angry: "Well, if you to be careful do not want, I to you not the assistant, and I would not like to burn down together with you" at all. And it has again hung up them on a former place. Then it has sat down by the fire and has fallen asleep.
The met person behind money has in the morning come to it and has asked: "Well, probably, you know now, what fear happens?" - and - "Is not present, - that answered, - whence was to me to learn it? These children, that there above dangle, even a mouth did not open and so are silly, that have allowed to burn on a body to the tatter".
Here the passer-by has seen, that fifty thalers to it should not be received this time, and has told, leaving; "Such I yet did not see!"
The guy too has gone the road, muttering the former: "Ah, if the fear scolds me!"
Услыхал it is the carrier going behind it, and has asked: "Who you are that?" - I "do not know", - the small answered. And the carrier continued: "Whence you?" - I "do not know". - "Yes who your father?" - "I do not dare to tell". - "That such you mutter to yourself?" - "I, whether you see, would like, that the fear has scolded me, yes anybody me cannot to fear to learn", - the guy answered. "Sweep a nonsense! - the carrier has told. - Well, we will go with me: I just to a place will attach you".
The guy has gone with it, and by the evening they have arrived to hotel where were going to stay the night.
Entering into a room, the guy has again said aloud: "Кабы only the fear has scolded me! Эх, кабы only the fear has scolded me!"
Услыхав it, the owner has laughed and has told: "If such is your hunting here there will be to that a suitable case". - "Ah, become silent! - its mistress has interrupted. - how many mad daredevils have paid already for it with a life! It would be very a pity, if also this kind young man has ceased to look at a this world".
But the guy has told: "How it was burdensome, nevertheless I wish to learn fear: after all I for this purpose also was started up in a way-road".
It did not give rest to the owner while that has not told to it, that not far there is a bewitched lock where no wonder fear to learn, if only there to spend night three. And the king-de promised the daughter in the wife to the one who will venture it, and the princess краше all on light. In the lock infinite treasures are protected by evil ghosts. If ктонибудь in that lock will spend three nights these treasures will get to it also any poor man them it will be enriched. Many young men went there happiness to try, yes any has not returned.
For other morning the guy to the king was and speaks to it: "Кабы to me it has been permitted, I would spend three nights in the bewitched lock". The king has looked at the guy, and that to it so has attracted, that he has told: "You can select thus to yourself three subjects, but by all means inanimate and grasp them with yourself in the lock".
The guy answered: "Well, so I will ask to myself of fire, the joiner's machine tool and a lathe together with a cutter". The king ordered to take down before dark still to it all it in the lock. By the night the guy has gone there, has made bright fire in one of rooms, has put near to itself the joiner's machine tool with a cutter, and itself has sat down for the turning.
"Эх, кабы only the fear has scolded me! - he has told. - yes it is visible, I here again will not learn it".
He has about midnight taken in head to kindle more still the fire and began to inflate a flame as suddenly from one corner was heard: "Мяу, мяу! As to us it is cold!" - "that shout, fools?! - he has cried. - if to you it is cold, go, sit down to fire and be heated".
Hardly he has had time to say it as two big black cats a fast jump have jumped up to it, have sat down on its both parties and have stared wildly at it the fiery eyes.
A little later, having got warm, they have told: "the Friend! Whether we will play cards?" - "why? - He answered, - I wish; but at first show me your paws. - they have extended the claws. - Э! - the guy has told. Коготки at you painfully long! Wait a moment, I owe you them at first обстричь".
With these words it has seized cats by a nape, has lifted them on the joiner's machine tool and has strong squeezed in it their paws. "Увидал I your fingers, - have told it, - and there has passed at me any hunting in cards to play". It has killed them and has thrown out from a window in a pond.
But when he, having finished this pair, wished to sit down again by fire, from everywhere, from each corner, повыскочили black cats and black dogs on the heated chains - and all arrived yes arrived them so it had no place to disappear from them.
They terribly roared, attacked fire, scattered fire wood and were going to sweep a fire absolutely.
He has had a look for about a minute easy at their fuss and when to it невтерпеж became, it took the cutter and has cried: "Брысь, evil spirits damned!" - also has rushed on them.
One have run up; it has interrupted others and has abandoned in a pond. Having returned, it has again inflated fire and began to be heated. It sat, sat - and eyes began to stick together, began to drive it at a dream. Having looked round around and увидав in a corner the big bed, he has told: "And, here it just by the way!" - also has laid down.
But was not in time it and eye to close as suddenly the bed by itself began to move and has driven on all lock.
"Here it is fine! - he has told. - whether yes it is impossible поживей? Touch!" The bed here has rushed, is exact in it шестерик have put, at full speed, through thresholds, on steps upwards and downwards...
But suddenly - гоп, гоп! - the bed has overturned upwards legs and on the guy as if the mountain has leant.
But it has thrown from itself(himself) blankets and pillows, has got out from under a bed and has told: "Well, will be from me! Let goes for a drive, who wants!" Then it has settled at fire and has overslept to is white day.
The king and, увидав its spread on the earth has in the morning come, has thought, that ghosts have killed him and it lays the dead. "It is a pity the kind young man!" The king has told.
Услыхал it is the guy, has jumped and has answered: "Well, to a trouble yet cunningly!"
The king was surprised, was delighted and has asked, what to it was. "It is excellent, - that answered, - here already минула one night, and there and two others will pass".
The guy to the owner of hotel has gone, and that and eyes stares: "I did not think to see you in the live. Well, whether you have learnt fear?" - "what there! The guy answered. - all is vain! Though somebody would advise me".
For the second night it has gone to sleep in the ancient lock, villages at fire and has tightened the old song: "Though the fear would scold me!" Noise and din, was about midnight made there at first more silently, and then all is louder and louder; then again all has ceased for a minute, and at last of a pipe to feet of the guy has fallen out with loud shout of the half-person. "Hey! - the young man has cried. - it would be necessary still половинку! This it will be small".
Here again the hubbub has risen, footfall was heard and howl - and other half too has dropped out. "Погоди, - the guy has told, - here I for you маленько will inflate fire!"
Having made it and having looked back, he has seen, that both half had time to grow together - and on its place the person sat already страшныйпрестрашный. "It, the brother, the disorder! - the guy has told. - my Bench!"
The terrible person wished it to push away, but the guy has not given in, has strongly set it, has pushed off from a bench and has sat down again on the place.
Then one behind another still the set of people from above attacked. They have got nine dead feet and two dead heads, have placed these feet and began to play, as in size.
Too it wanted to guy to play. "Hey, you, listen! - he has asked them. - whether it is possible for me to join you?" - "it is possible, if money at you is". - "Money suffices, yes your spheres not painfully круглы".
Took it dead heads, has put them on a lathe and has ground their circle. "Here so, - he has told, - now they will go for a drive is better. Drag! The fun now will go!"
The guy with unbidden visitors has played and has lost it is a little; but as soon as has punched midnight, all has disappeared. It has settled and has easy fallen asleep.
Next morning the king has come to enquire: "Well, what with you it was created this time?" - "has lost in the size, two thalers has lost!" - "yes unless to you it was not terrible?!" - "well, here still! - the guy answered. - Has had fun, and only. Though to me to learn, that such fear!"
For the third night it has sat down again on the bench and has told with disappointment: "Ah, if only has scolded me fear!"
A little later six tall children with a coffin in hands were. "Ege-ge, - the guy, - yes it, probably, the brother my cousin, died has told two years ago! - It has beckoned a finger and has shouted: - Well, поди, come here, the brother!"
The coffin has been put on a floor, the guy has approached and has removed a cover: in a coffin the dead person laid. The guy has touched his face: it was cold, as ice. "Погоди, - he has told, - I маленько will warm you!"
Has approached to fire, has warmed a hand and has put it to the person of the dead person, but that was cold still.
Then it has taken out it from a coffin, villages to fire, has put the dead man to itself on knees and began to rub to it of a hand to restore blood circulation.
When also it has not helped, has come to to it mind what to be warmed it is possible well if together to lay down in bed; it has transferred the dead person on the bed, has covered it and has laid down near to it.
The dead man is a little later was warmed and has begun to move. "Here you see, the brother, - has told the guy, - I and have warmed you".
But the dead person has suddenly risen and has begun to yell: "And! Now I will strangle you!" "That? You will strangle?! And so what your gratitude?! »«½ΡΊα® again in the coffin!"
And the guy has lifted the dead person, has thrown it in a coffin and has closed its cover; then the same six porters have entered and have carried away a coffin.
"Does not scold me fear, and all here! - the guy has told. - Here I to fear will not learn for ever and ever!"
Here the person still enormous all other and by sight perfect fright has entered: it was the old man with a long white beard.
"Ah you, a creature such! - he has cried. - Now you soon learn, that such fear: prepare for death!"-"well, not so hasten! - the guy answered. - if to me to die it is necessary, so without me business will not manage". - "Тебято I will take with myself!" - the monster has told "." Is more silent, more silent! Very much you dispersed! I after all too am not weaker than you, and that also I will be more feasible! "-" we still will look it! - the old man has told. - if you will appear more strongly me so I will release you; we will go, we will try force! "
Also it has led the guy dark transitions in a smithy, took an axe and has hammered with one blow an anvil into the earth.
"Эка невидаль! I can and is better than it make!" - the guy has told and has approached to other anvil.
The old man became beside it, being curious to look, and its white beard has overhung over an anvil. Then the guy has seized an axe, has split with one blow an anvil and has jammed in it a beard of the old man. "Well, now you, the brother, have got! - he has told. - now to you to die it is necessary!"
Took it an iron rod and began them to treat the old man while that not заверещал and has not begged for mercy, promising to give to it for it big riches.
The guy has pulled out an axe from a crack and has released the old man. Its old man back in the lock has led, has shown it in one of cellars three chests filled with gold, and has told: "One third belongs poor, another - to the king, the third - you".
At this time has punched midnight, and the guy remained one in darkness. "Somehow yes I will get out from here", - he has told, наощупь has found road to the room and has fallen asleep there at fire.
Next morning the king has come and has asked: "That now you, probably, have learnt fear?" - "is not present, - that answered, - and to know I do not know, that such fear. My late cousin yes the bearded man any has visited here came and has shown to me there below a heap of money, and nobody has learnt me to fear".
Also has told then the king: "Thanks you! You have relieved the lock of evil spirit. Take to itself my daughter as wife!" - "all it is very good, - that answered, - nevertheless till now I do not know, that means to shake with fear!"
Gold have got from a vault, have celebrated wedding, but the spouse of the princess as loved the spouse and as it was happy with all, all repeated: "Ah, if, only would scold me fear! Кабы the fear has scolded me!"
It at last has annoyed the young. Its parlourmaid has told to the princess: "I пособлю to a grief! Probably, he will learn also to shake with fear".
It has gone to a stream proceeding through a garden, and has typed a full bucket of gudgeons.
At night when the young king rested, the spouse has pulled off from it a blanket and has poured out on it the whole bucket of cold water with gudgeons who and have begun to jump round it.
Has woken up here young and has cried: "Oh, it is terrible to me, it is terrible to me, the wife the darling! Yes! Now I know, that means to shake with fear!" |
