The doctor the Know-it-all
There lived-was once the muzhik-poor man on a prorank the Cancer; it on two oxen has carried a cart of fire wood in a city and has sold that cart to the doctor for two thalers. The doctor, paying off with it for fire wood, sat at dinner; увидал the muzhik as that perfectly ate also saws, and has envied it, having thought: "it is good, кабы I could be the doctor".
In these thoughts it has stood-has stood, yes at last and has asked, whether it can also too the doctor to be. "Why, - the doctor has told, is a business not sophisticated". - "And what I for this purpose should make?" - the muzhik has asked. "First of all buy the alphabet (is such at which on the first page the cockerel is represented), then turn the oxen and a vehicle in money and for that money buy a decent dress and other, that doctor's business concerns; and thirdly, conducted to itself to make a signboard with an inscription and write on it:" I the doctor the Know-it-all ", and conducted it to beat at itself over entrance дверьми".
The muzhik has executed all under instructions of the doctor.
It is a little later after it was accepted for докторство, at one notable and rich mister money has been stolen.
Here to it its friends also have told, that in such village there lives the doctor the Know-it-all: that also should know, where its money because he knows all on light.
The rich man has ordered to put in pawn the carriage, has arrived to the specified village and has asked: "You the doctor the Know-it-all?" - "I", - answered the muzhik. "Well, so go with me and find to me for the money stolen at me". - "All right, only that and Гретель, the wife washing, too with me has gone". The rich man has agreed with pleasure, has planted them with itself in the carriage and has carried at full speed to itself.
When they have arrived to the rich man to the house, the table has been already covered, and the doctor the Know-it-all for a table has been invited. "With pleasure, - the muzhik, only has told that and Гретель with me has sat down", - and has taken seat with it for a table.
When has entered the servant and has brought a dish with any very tasty food, the muzhik has pushed the wife under a side and has whispered to it: "This the first", - hinting these on a dish.
And the servant has thought, that he has told: "It is the first", - and to it wished to tell: "It is the first thief", - hinting on larceny in which it and really took part; here the servant both has got a fright, and has told to the companions: "Докторто all knows! A trouble to us! After all he has told, that I the first!"
Another absolutely was and to a table did not wish to go, however should be against will. And as soon as it has entered a dining room with the second dish, the doctor the Know-it-all has again pushed the wife under a side and has whispered: "Грета, after all this the second".
And this the servant has got a fright and too has hastened to leave. Not it was necessary to the third is better; and to that was heard, that the muzhik has told about it: "It is the third!"
The fourth should submit the closed dish on a table, and the owner of the house has told to the doctor: "Well, show the art and guess, what on a dish it is necessary?"
And on a dish there were cancers.
The muzhik has looked at a dish, did not know how to be turned out, and has told about itself: "Has got, an unfortunate Cancer!"
Both the rich man has heard it, and has exclaimed: "Yes, has guessed! He, truly, knows also the one who my money took!"
The fourth servant of these words to death was frightened and has winked at the doctor that that to it left because of a table.
When it left, all four servants to it have confessed, that have stolen money at the mister; they were willingly ready to return all, moreover and to it to pay extra, as follows, if only it does not give out them, because it it will be bad.
They have specified to it where at them money is put by. The doctor the Know-it-all remained all it is very happy, has returned to a table and has told to the rich man: "Well, the sir, it is necessary now to me in the scientific book to glance, precisely to tell, where your stolen money is put by".
In the meantime the fifth servant has climbed in an oven and wished to overhear, that else the doctor knows.
And that has opened the alphabet and looked through it, finding the image of a cockerel; at once it finds it could not, and has told at last: "Yes I know, that you here, and to you I will reach!"
The servant in an oven has thought, that the doctor about it speaks it, yes as will jump out of an oven as will shout: "He knows all!"
Also the muzhik of the rich man to that place where money laid has led and who has stolen them, has not told about that to it; has received from both parties many money in the award and has become famous on all neighbourhood. |
