Alexey Tolstoy - at the behest of the pike. By the pike (Emelya) Emelya's fairy tale on the stove

Once upon a time there was an old man. He had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya.

Those brothers are working, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, she doesn't want to know anything.

Once the brothers left for the market, and women, daughters-in-law, let's send him:

- Go, Emelya, for water.

And he told them from the stove:

- Reluctance ...

- Go, Emelya, otherwise the brothers will come back from the bazaar, they won't bring you any presents.

- OK.

Emelya got down from the stove, put on his shoes, dressed, took buckets and an ax and went to the river.

He cut through the ice, scooped up the buckets and set them down, while he himself looked into the hole. And I saw Emelya pike in the hole. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:

- That ear will be sweet!

- Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll be useful to you.

And Emelya laughs:

- What will you be useful to me? .. No, I will carry you home, I will tell my daughters-in-law to cook some fish soup. The ear will be sweet.

The pike begged again:

- Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll do whatever you want.

- Okay, just show me first that you are not deceiving me, then I will let you go.

The pike asks him:

- Emelya, Emelya, tell me - what do you want now?

- I want the buckets to go home themselves and the water would not splash ...

The pike tells him:

- Remember my words: when what you want - just say:

"By the pike's command, by my will."

Emelya and says:

- At the pike's command, at my will - go, buckets, go home yourself ...

He just said - the buckets themselves and went up the hill. Emelya put the pike into the hole, and he went to get the buckets.

Buckets are going through the village, the people are amazed, and Emelya walks behind, laughing ... We entered the buckets into the hut and ourselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.

How long has passed, how little time has passed - the daughters-in-law say to him:

- Emelya, why are you lying? Would go to chop wood.

- Reluctance ...

“You won’t chop wood, the brothers will come back from the bazaar, they won’t bring you any presents.”

Emele is reluctant to get off the stove. He remembered about the pike and slowly says:

- According to the pike's command, according to my desire - go, ax, chop wood, and firewood - go into the hut and put it in the oven ...

The ax jumped out from under the bench - and into the yard, and let's chop wood, but they themselves go into the hut and climb into the stove.

How much, how little time has passed - the daughters-in-law again say:

- Emelya, we no longer have firewood. Go to the forest, chop it down.

And he told them from the stove:

- Yes, what are you doing?

- How - what are we for? .. Is it our business to go to the forest for firewood?

- I don't feel like ...

- Well, there will be no gifts for you.

Nothing to do. Emelya got off the stove, put on his shoes and dressed. He took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and sat down in the sleigh:

- Women, open the gate!

His daughters-in-law say to him:

- What are you, you fool, got into the sleigh, but did not harness the horse?

“I don’t need horses.

The daughters-in-law opened the gates, and Emelya says quietly:

- According to the pike's command, according to my desire - go, sleigh, into the forest ...

The sledges themselves drove through the gate, but so quickly - you couldn't catch up on horseback.

And he had to go to the forest through the city, and here he crushed a lot of people, suppressed them. The people are shouting: “Hold him! Catch him! " And he, know, is driving the sleigh. Came to the forest:

- By the pike's command, by my desire - an ax, chop the woods dry, and you, the woods, fall into the sleigh yourself, get involved yourself ...

The ax began to chop, chop dry wood, and the woods themselves tumbled into the sleigh and knit with a rope. Then Emelya ordered the ax to cut out his club - one that could be lifted by force. Sat on a cart:

- By the pike's command, by my desire - go, sleigh, home ...

The sleigh rushed home. Again Emelya passes through the city where he has just crushed, suppressed a lot of people, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and dragged her from the cart, scolded and beat.

He sees that things are bad, and slowly:

- At the pike's command, at my will - come on, club, break off their sides ...

The club jumped out - and let's beat. The people rushed away, and Emelya came home and climbed onto the stove.

How long or short - the king heard about Emelin's tricks and sent an officer after him - to find him and bring him to the palace.

An officer arrives in that village, enters the hut where Emelya lives, and asks:

- Are you Emelya's fool?

And he is from the stove:

- And what do you need?

- Get dressed quickly, I'll take you to the king.

- And I do not want ...

The officer got angry and hit him on the cheek. And Emelya says on the sly:

- By the pike's command, by my will - a club, break off his sides ...

The club jumped out - and let's beat the officer, forcibly he took his legs.

The Tsar was surprised that his officer could not cope with Emelya, and sends his greatest nobleman:

- Bring the fool Emelya to my palace, or I'll take my head off my shoulders.

The big nobleman bought raisins, prunes, gingerbread, arrived in that village, entered that hut and began to ask his daughters-in-law what Emelya loved.

- Our Emelya loves to be kindly asked and promised a red caftan - then he will do everything, no matter what you ask.

The biggest nobleman gave Emelya raisins, prunes, gingerbread and says:

- Emelya, Emelya, why are you lying on the stove? Let's go to the king.

- I'm warm here too ...

- Emelya, Emelya, the tsar will give you good food and drink, - please, let's go.

- And I do not want ...

- Emelya, Emelya, the tsar will give you a red caftan, a hat and boots.

Emelya thought and thought:

- Well, okay, go ahead, and I'll follow you.

The nobleman left, and Emelya lay still and said:

- At the pike's command, at my will - come on, bake, go to the king ...

Here in the hut the corners crackled, the roof swayed, the wall flew out, and the stove itself went down the street, along the road, straight to the king.

The Tsar looks out the window, marvels:

- What is this miracle?

The greatest nobleman answers him:

- And this is Emelya on the stove coming to you.

The king came out onto the porch:

- Something, Emelya, there are many complaints about you! You suppressed a lot of people.

- Why did they climb under the sled?

At this time, the royal daughter, Marya the princess, was looking at him through the window. Emelya saw her in the window and says quietly:

- By the pike's command. according to my desire - let the royal daughter love me ...

And he said again:

- Go, bake, home ...

The stove turned and went home, went into the hut and returned to its original place. Emelya is lying down again.

And the king in the palace screams and tears. Marya the princess misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya. At this point the tsar got into trouble, let it go, and said again to the great nobleman:

- Go, bring Emelya to me, alive or dead, or I'll take my head off my shoulders.

Bought a large nobleman of sweet wines and various snacks, went to that village, entered that hut and began to regale Emelya.

Emelya got drunk, ate, got drunk and went to bed. And the nobleman put him in a cart and took him to the king.

The Tsar immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled. They put Emelya and Maryutsarevna in it, they ground it up and threw the barrel into the sea.

How long or short - Emelya woke up, he sees - it's dark, cramped:

- Where am I?

And they answer him:

- Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! We were tarred into a barrel, thrown into the blue sea.

- And who are you?

- I am Marya-princess.

Emelya says:

- By the pike's command, by my will, the winds are violent, roll the barrel onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand ...

The violent winds blew. The sea became agitated, the barrel was thrown out on the dry shore, on the yellow sand. Emelya and Marya the princess left her.

- Emelyushka, where are we going to live? Build whatever hut there is.

- And I do not want ...

Then she began to ask him even more, and he says:

- According to the pike's command, according to my desire - to line up, a stone palace with a golden roof ...

As soon as he said - a stone palace with a golden roof appeared. Around - a green garden: flowers bloom and birds sing. Marya the princess with Emelya entered the palace, sat down at the window.

- Emelyushka, can't you become handsome?

Here Emelya did not think long:

- According to the pike's command, according to my desire - to become a good fellow, a handsome man ...

And Emelya became such that he could neither say in a fairy tale, nor describe with a pen.

And at that time the tsar went hunting and saw that there was a palace where there was nothing before.

- What kind of ignorant man has put a palace on my land without my permission?

And he sent to find out and ask: "Who are they?" The ambassadors ran, stood under the window, asking.

Emelya answers them:

- Ask the king to visit me, I'll tell him myself.

The king came to visit him. Emelya meets him, leads him to the palace, sets him down at the table. They begin to feast. The king eats, drinks and does not wonder:

- Who are you, good fellow?

- And do you remember the fool Emelya - how he came to you on the stove, and you ordered him and your daughter to grind into a barrel, throw them into the sea? I am the same Emelya. If I want it, I will burn and ruin your whole kingdom.

The king was very frightened, began to ask for forgiveness:

- Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, just don't ruin me!

Here they made a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Marya the princess and began to rule the kingdom.

Here the fairy tale is over, and who listened - well done.

"By the Pike's Command" a summary will remind you of what the tale "By the Pike's Command" and what this tale teaches.

"By the pike's command" summary

The peasant had three sons; two are smart, and the third, Emelya, is a fool and a lazy person. After the death of his father, each of the brothers received "one hundred rubles." The older brothers go to trade, leaving Emelya at home with their daughters-in-law and promising to buy him red boots, a fur coat and a caftan.

In winter, in severe frost, the daughters-in-law send Emelya for water. He reluctantly goes to the hole, fills the bucket ... And catches a pike in the hole. The pike promises to fulfill any Emelino's desire if he lets her go. It will be enough for him to say the magic words: "At the dictates of the pike, at my will." Emelya lets go of the pike. And he wants the buckets of water to go home by themselves. Emelya's wish comes true

After some time, the daughters-in-law ask Emelya to chop wood. Emelya orders the ax to chop wood, and the wood to go to the hut and lie down in the oven. The daughters-in-law are amazed, as this wish also came true.

Then the daughters-in-law send Emelya to the forest for firewood. He does not harness the horses, the sledges themselves go from the yard. Passing through the city, Emelya crushes a lot of people. In the forest, an ax chops wood and a club for Emelya.

On the way back in the city they try to catch Emelya and crush his sides. And Emelya orders his baton to beat all the offenders and returns home safely.

The king, having heard about all this, sends his governor to Emela. He wants to take the fool to the king, but Emelya refuses.

The voivode returned to the king empty-handed. Then the Tsar got angry and said that if the governor returned without Emelya, he would lose his head. The second time the governor went after the Fool, he began to persuade him with kind and gentle speeches. Promising Emely goodies and refreshments, he persuades him to come to the king. Then the fool tells his stove to go to the city itself.

In the royal palace, Emelya sees a princess and wants her to fall in love with him.

Emelya leaves the king, and the princess asks her father to marry her off to Emelya. The king orders the officer to deliver Emelya to the palace. The officer gives Emelya a drink, and then ties her up, puts her in the wagon and takes her to the palace. The king orders to make a big barrel, put his daughter and the fool there, grind the barrel and put it into the sea.

The fool wakes up in the barrel. The royal daughter tells him about what happened and asks him to get them out of the barrel. The fool utters magic words, and the sea throws the barrel ashore. It crumbles.

Emelya and the princess find themselves on a beautiful island. According to Emelin's desire, a huge palace and a crystal bridge appear to the royal palace. And Emelya himself becomes smart and beautiful.

Emelya invites the king to visit her. He arrives, feasts with Emelya, but does not recognize him. When Emelya tells him everything that happened, the king rejoices and agrees to marry the princess to him.

The king returns home, and Emelya and the princess live in their palace.

What does the fairy tale "By the Pike's Command" teach?

First of all, a fairy tale teaches us kindness. That if you do even a small good deed, then you will be repaid for it with the same good. If Emelya hadn't let the pike go, he wouldn't have received anything in return.

The main meaning of the fairy tale "By the Pike's Command" is that the happiness of a person depends on himself. If you don't know what you want, then nothing will happen. Emelya, presented to us at the beginning as a lazy and foolish person, married the princess and began to live with her in the castle.

il-there was an old man. He had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya. Those brothers are working, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, she doesn't want to know anything.

He cut through the ice, scooped up the buckets and set them down, while he himself looked into the hole. And I saw Emelya pike in the hole.

He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:
- That ear will be sweet!
Suddenly the pike speaks to him in a human voice:
- Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll be useful to you.
And Emelya laughs:
- What do you need me for? No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll tell my daughters-in-law to cook some fish soup. The ear will be sweet.
The pike begged again:
- Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll do whatever you want.
- Okay, just show me first that you are not deceiving me, then I will let you go.

- I want the buckets to go home themselves and the water would not splash ...

Russian folktale

Three brothers lived in one small village: Semyon, Vasily and the third - Emelya the fool. The older brothers were married and engaged in trade, and Emelya the fool kept lying on the stove, shoveling the soot and sleeping for several days in a deep sleep. And then one day the brothers decided to go to the capital city to buy goods. They woke Emelya, dragged him from the stove and told him: "We, Emelya, are leaving for the capital city for various goods, and you live well with your daughters-in-law, obey them if they ask you to help them in something. If you listen to them, then we will bring you from the city a red caftan, a red hat and a red belt for this. And besides, there are many more gifts. " And Emelya liked the red clothes the most; he was delighted with such outfits and clapped his hands with joy: "Everything, brothers, will be done for your wives, if only buy such outfits!" He climbed onto the stove again and immediately fell asleep in a deep sleep. And the brothers said goodbye to their wives and went to the capital city. Here Emelya sleeps for a day, others sleep, and on the third day his daughters-in-law wake him up: "Get up, Emelya, from the stove, you've probably gotten enough sleep, because you've been sleeping for three days. Go to the river for water!" And he answers them: "Do not bother me, I really want to sleep. And not ladies yourself, go on the water!" "You gave your word to the brothers that you would obey us! But you refuse. In this case, we will write to the brothers so that they do not buy you a red caftan, or a red hat, or a red belt, or gifts."

Then Emelya quickly jumps off the stove, puts on props and a thin caftan, all smeared with soot (and he never wore a hat), took the buckets and went to the river.

And so, when he took water in the hole and was about to go, he saw a pike suddenly appear from the hole. He thought: "My daughters-in-law will bake a good cake for me!" Put down the buckets and grabbed the pike; but the pike suddenly spoke in a human voice. Even though Emelya was a fool, he knew that the fish did not speak in a human voice, and was very frightened. And the pike said to him: "Let me go free into the water! In time I will come in handy for you, I will carry out all your orders. You just say:" By the pike's command, but by my request "- and everything will be for you."

And Emelya let her go. He let go and thinks: "Maybe she deceived me?" He went up to the buckets and shouted in a loud voice: "By the pike's command, but by my request, buckets, go up the mountain yourself, but do not spill a single drop of water!" And before he had time to finish his last word, the buckets went off.

The people saw and were surprised at such a miracle: "How long we have lived in the world, not only to see, even to hear, that the buckets walked on their own, but this fool's Emelya walk on their own, and he walks behind and laughs!"

When the buckets came into the house, the daughters-in-law were surprised at such a miracle, and he quickly climbed onto the stove and fell asleep in a heroic dream.

Quite a long time passed, they ran out of chopped firewood, and the daughters-in-law decided to bake pancakes. They wake up Emelya: "Emelya, and Emelya!" And he replies: "Do not bother me ... I want to sleep!" - "Go get some wood and bring it to the hut. We want to bake pancakes and we will feed you the most oily ones." - "And you yourself are not ladies - go, pin it and bring it!" - "And if we just chop wood, apply ourselves, then we won't give you a single pancake!"

Emelya loved pancakes very much. He took an ax and went into the yard. Injected, injected, and thought: "What am I injecting, fool, let the pike prick." And he said to himself in a quiet voice: "At the command of the pike, but at my request, an ax, if there is wood, and firewood, fly to the hut yourself." And so the ax in one moment chopped the entire supply of firewood; the door suddenly opened and a huge bundle of firewood flew into the hut. The daughters-in-law gasped: "What has happened to Emelya, he just works miracles!" And he entered the hut and climbed onto the stove. The daughters-in-law lit the oven, baked pancakes, sat down at the table and ate. And they woke him up, woke him up, and did not wake him up.

After some time, they ran out of firewood, so they had to go to the forest. They began to wake him up again: "Emelya, get up, wake up - you've probably got enough sleep! If you only washed your terrible face - look how you got covered!" - "Wash yourself if you need to! And I feel good anyway ..." - "Go to the forest for firewood, we have no firewood!" - "Go yourself - not the ladies. I brought you firewood, but they did not feed me pancakes!" - "We woke you up, woke you up, and you don't even give a voice! It's not our fault, it's your own fault. Why didn't you get off?" - "It's warm on the stove ... And you would have taken and put at least three pancakes for me. When I woke up, I would have eaten them." - "You contradict us everything, you do not obey us! We must write to the brothers so that they do not buy you any red dresses and gifts!"

Then Emelya got scared, puts on his thin caftan, takes an ax, goes out into the yard, wraps up the sleigh and takes a club in his hands. And the daughters-in-law went out to look: "Why don't you harness a horse? How can you go without a horse?" - "Why torture the poor horse! I'll go without a horse." - "You at least put a hat on your head or tie something! Otherwise it's cold, you will freeze your ears." - "If my ears get chilly, I will block them with my hair!" And he himself said in a low voice: "At the behest of the pike, but at my request, go yourself, sleigh, into the forest and fly faster than any bird." And before Emelya had time to finish the last words, the gates flew open and the sleigh flew faster than the birds towards the forest. And Emelya sits, holding the club up, and, whatever voices, hums stupid songs. And his hair stands on end.

The forest was outside the city. And so he has to drive through the city. And the urban public does not have time to run away from the road: they were interested - some fellow was going without a horse, in the same sleigh! Whoever grabbed his sleigh, he beat him with a club - wherever he would hit. So he galloped through the city and crushed many people and beat many with his club. I arrived in the forest and shouted in a loud voice:

"At the behest of the pike, at my request, ax, chop the wood yourself, and the wood, fly into the sleigh yourself!"

As soon as he had time to finish his speech, he already had a load of firewood and was tied up tightly. Then he got on a cart and drove through this city again. And the streets were crowded with people. And everyone talks about the fellow who rode in the same sleigh without a horse. On the way back, when Emelya passed with a cart of firewood, he crushed the people even more and beat them with a club even more than the first time. I came home, climbed onto the stove, and the daughters-in-law gasped: “What happened to Emelya? We are not good for him. Probably, he crushed a lot of people in the city, and we will be put in prison with him! "

And they decided not to send him anywhere else. And Emelya sleeps peacefully on the stove, but when he wakes up, he scrapes soot in the chimney and falls asleep again.

A rumor about Emelya reached the king that there was such a man who had a sleigh ride on his own and that he had suppressed a lot of people in the city. The king summons a faithful servant and orders him: "Go and find me this fellow and bring him personally to me!"

The royal servant goes on a search in different cities, and villages, and villages and everywhere and everywhere receives the same answer: "We have heard of such a fellow, but we do not know where he lives." Finally, he gets to the city where Emelya crushed a lot of people. And this city is seven miles away from the Emelya village, and just one man from the Emelya village got into the conversation and told him that such a fellow lives in his village - this is Emelya the fool. Then the king's servant comes to the village of Emelina, goes to the village headman and says to him: "Let's go take this young man who suppressed so many people."

When the king's servant and the headman came to Emelya's house, the daughter-in-law was very frightened: "We are lost! This fool not only ruined himself, but also us." And the king's servant asks his daughters-in-law: "Where is Emelya at you?" - "Sleeping on the stove." Then the king's servant shouted in a loud voice at Emelya: "Emelya, get off the stove!" - "Why is that? It's warm on the stove too. Don't bother me, I want to sleep!"

And again he began to snore soundly asleep. But the king's servant, together with the headman, wanted to drag him from the furnace by force. When Emelya felt that he had been dragged from the stove, he shouted at the top of his bad throat in a loud voice: "By the pike's command, but by Emelya's request, appear, club, and treat the tsar's servant and our elder well!"

And suddenly the club appeared - as it began to beat mercilessly both the headman and the king's servant! They barely got out of this hut alive. The royal servant sees that there is no way to take Emelya, he went to the king and told him everything in detail: "Look, your royal majesty, how my whole body has been beaten." And he lifted his shirt, and his body was like cast iron, black, all with abrasions. Then the king calls another servant and says: "One has found, and you go and bring it. And if you don’t bring it, then I will take off your head, and if you bring it, I will reward you generously!"

Another king's servant asked the first where Emelya lived. He told him everything. He hired three horses and rode to Emela. When he arrived in the Emelya village, he turned to the headman: "Show me where Emelya lives, and help me take him." The headman is afraid of angering the tsar's servant - it is impossible, he will punish him, but he is even more afraid of emelie beatings. He told him everything in detail and said that Emelya could not be taken by force. Then the king's servant says: "So how can we get him?" The headman says: "He is very fond of gifts: sweets and gingerbread."

The tsar's servant picked up some presents, came to Emelya's house and began to wake him up: "Emelya, get off the stove, the tsar has sent you a lot of presents." When Emelya heard this, he was delighted and said: "Come on, I'll eat them on the stove too - why should I get off? And then I'll rest." And the king's servant said to him: "You will eat the presents, but will you go to visit the king? He ordered you to come to visit." - "Why not go? I love to ride." And the daughters-in-law said to the king's servant: "Better give him to bake what you intend to give. And if he promised to come to the king, he will not deceive, he will come."

And so they brought him gifts, he ate them. The Tsar's servant says: "Well, I have had enough of the goodies, now we will go to the Tsar." Emelya answered him: "You go, the king's servant ... I will catch up with you: I will not deceive, I will come," he lay down and began to snore throughout the hut.

And the king's servant once again asked the daughters-in-law, is it true, if he promises something, then he does it afterwards? Those, of course, confirmed that he really never cheats. The royal servant has left, and Emelya is sleeping peacefully on the stove. And when he wakes up, the seeds will snap, then fall asleep again.

And now quite a long time has passed, and Emelya does not even think to go to the tsar. Then the daughters-in-law began waking Emelya and scolding: "You, Emelya, get up, enough sleep for you!" He answers them: "Do not bother me, I really want to sleep!" - "But you promised to go to the king! I ate gifts, but you yourself are asleep and not going." - "Well, okay, I'll go now ... Give me my caftan, or, perhaps, I'll chill." - "And you will take it yourself, you will not go on the stove! Get off the stove and take it." - "No, I'll be chilly on the sleigh; I'll lie on the stove, and on top of the caftan!"

But his daughters-in-law say to him: “What are you fool thinking and doing? - "Either people, or me! I'll go."

And he jumped off the stove, from under the bench took out his caftanish, climbed back onto the stove, took cover and said in a loud voice: "By the pike's command, but at my request, bake, go straight to the king's palace!"

And the stove crackled and suddenly flew out into the wild. And faster than any bird she rushed to the king. And he sings songs with all his throat and lies down. Then he fell asleep.

And as soon as the king's servant drove into the king's court, Emelya the fool also flies in on his stove. The servant saw that he had arrived and ran to report to the king. Not only the king was interested in this arrival, but also his entire retinue and all his family. Everyone came out to look at Emelya, and he was sitting on the stove and his mouth was open. And the king's daughter came out. When Emelya saw such a beauty, he liked her very much, and he said to himself in a quiet voice: "At the pike's command, at my request, fall in love, beauty, with me." And the king orders him to get off the stove; Emelya replies: "Why is this? I'm warm on the stove too, I can see you all from the stove ... Tell me what you need!" The Tsar then in a stern voice said: "Why did you crush a lot of people when you rode in a sleigh?" - "Why don't they fold? And you would be standing with your mouth open and you would be crushed!"

The king was very angry at these words and ordered Emel to pull it off the stove. And Emelya, when he saw the tsar's guards, said in a loud voice: "At the pike's command, at my request, bake, fly back to your place!" And before he had time to finish the last words, the oven flew out of the royal palace with the speed of lightning. And the gates opened themselves ...

He came home, his daughters-in-law asked him: "Well, have you been to the tsar?" - "Of course I was. I didn't go to the forest!" - "You, Emelya, are doing some kind of miracles with us! Why does everything move with you: the sleigh drives on its own, and the oven flies by itself? Why don't people have this?" - "No and never will. But everything obeys me!"

And fell asleep soundly. Meanwhile, the princess began to yearn for Emelya so much that without him the light of God was no longer dear to her. And she began to ask her father and mother to call this young man and give her in marriage to him. The king was surprised at such a strange request from his daughter and was very angry with her. But she says: "I can no longer live in this world, I was attacked by some kind of strong melancholy - give me in marriage to him!"

Ary sees that her daughter does not give in to persuasion, does not listen to her father and mother, he decided to call this fool Emelya. And he sends a third servant: "Go and bring him to me, but not on the stove!" And so the king's servant arrives in the village of Emelina. Since they told him that Emelya loves gifts, he collected many different gifts. Upon arrival, he woke up Emelya and said: "Get off, Emelya, from the stove and eat some presents." And he said to him: "Come on, I'll eat some presents on the stove too!" - "You probably already have bedsores on your sides - you are all lying on the stove! I want you to sit next to me, and I will treat you like a master."

Then Emelya gets off the stove and puts on her caftan. He was very afraid of a cold. And the caftan - just now it was called "caftan" - there was a patch on the patch, it was all torn. And so the king's servant begins to treat him. And Emelya soon ate some goodies and fell asleep at the table on the bench. Then the king's servant ordered Emel to put his own in the carriage, and so, sleepy, he brought him to the palace. When the tsar found out that Emelya had arrived, he ordered to roll out the forty-headed barrel and put the princess and Emelya the fool in this barrel. When they landed, the barrel was ground up and lowered into the sea. And Emelya is sleeping deeply in the barrel. On the third day, the beautiful princess began to wake him up: "Emelya, and Emelya! Get up, wake up!" - "Don't bother me. I want to sleep!"

She wept bitterly because he paid no attention to her. When he saw her bitter tears, he took pity on her and asked: "What are you crying about?" - "How can I not cry? We are thrown into the sea and sit in a barrel." Then Emelya said: "At the pike's command, but at my request, barrel, fly ashore and crumble into small pieces!"

And they were instantly thrown ashore by a wave of the sea, and the barrel crumbled; and this island was so beautiful that the beautiful princess walked around it and could not stop admiring its beauty until late at night.

When she came to the place where she left Emelya, she sees: he, covered with a caftan, is sleeping deeply. She began to wake him up: "Emelya, and Emelya! Get up, wake up!" - "Don't bother me! I want to sleep." - "And I want to sleep. Yes, in the open air at night you will freeze ..." - "I covered myself with a caftan." - "And what am I?" - "What does it matter to me?"

Then the princess wept very bitterly because he did not pay any attention to her, and she loved him with all her heart. When he saw that the princess was crying, he asked her: "What do you want?" - "Yes, at least for us to make a hut, otherwise it will soak in the rain." Then he shouted in a loud voice: "By the pike's command, but at my request, appear such a palace that does not exist in the whole world!"

And just barely had time to finish the last words, as a marble and very beautiful palace appeared on this beautiful island - the kind that is not and has not been in any capital city! The princess takes Emelya by the arms and approaches this palace. And the courtiers meet them, and wide open the gates and doors to them, and bow down to the damp earth ...

When they entered this palace, Emelya rushed to sleep on the first bed he came across, not even taking off his torn caftan. Meanwhile, the princess went to inspect this magnificent palace and admire its luxury. When I came to the place where I left Emelya, I suddenly saw that he was crying bitterly. Asks him: "What are you, dear Emelya, crying so bitterly about?" - "How can I not cry and cry? I don’t find a stove, I don’t have anything to lie on!" - "Is it bad for you to lie on a feather bed or on a precious sofa?" - "It's best for me on the stove! And besides, I have nothing to amuse myself with: I don't see soot anywhere either ..."

She calmed him down, he fell asleep again, and she again left him. And when she walked around the palace, she comes to Emelya and is surprised: Emelya stands in front of the mirror and swears: "I am very ugly and bad! What a terrible face I have!" And the princess answers him: "Although you are not good and unsuitable, but to my heart you are very dear, and I love you!" Then he said: "By the order of the pike, but by my request, I must become the most handsome fellow!"

And then suddenly, before the eyes of the princess Emelya, he changed and turned into such a handsome hero, that you can neither say in a fairy tale nor describe with a pen! And with a clever mind ... Only then did he fall in love with the princess and began to treat her like his wife.

After not so much time, they suddenly hear cannon shots at sea. Then Emelya and the beautiful princess leave their palace, and the princess recognizes her father's ship. She says to Emelya: "Go meet the guests, but I will not go!"

When Emelya approached the pier, the tsar and his retinue were already going ashore. And the king marvels at this newly built palace with magnificent green gardens and asks Emelya: "To which kingdom does this precious palace belong?" Emelya said: "This is for yours." And asks him to visit him to try bread and salt.

The Tsar entered the palace, sat down at the table, and he asks Emelya: "Where is your wife? Or are you single?" - "No, I'm married, I'll bring you a wife now."

Emelya went to fetch his wife, they were approaching the king, and the king was very surprised and frightened, he didn’t know what to do! Asks: "Is it really you, my dear daughter?" - "Yes, I, dear parent! You threw me and my spouse in a tarred barrel in the sea, and we sailed to this island, and my Emelyan Ivanovich arranged it all himself, as you can see with your own eyes." - "How so? After all, he was a fool and did not even look like a man, but rather like some kind of monster!" - "He himself, only now he was reborn and changed." Then the tsar asks them for forgiveness - both from his daughter and from his beloved son-in-law, Emelyan Ivanovich; they forgave him.

Having stayed with his son-in-law with his daughter, the tsar invites them to his place to marry them and invite all relatives and friends to the wedding, to which Emelya gave his consent.

When the tsar began to send messengers to everyone to come to this great feast, then Emelya also says to her beautiful princess: “And I have relatives, let me personally go after them. The tsar and the beautiful young princess, although reluctantly, nevertheless let go, gave him three of the best horses harnessed to a gilded carriage, and with a coachman, and he rushed to his village. When he began to drive up to his native place, driving through a dark forest, he suddenly hears a sound in the direction of the sound. He orders the coachman to stop the horses and tells him: "These are some people lost in this dark forest!"

And he begins to answer their voice himself. And then he saw his two brothers approaching him. Emelya asks them: "Why are you walking around, kind people, here and shouting so loudly? You probably got lost?" - "No, we are looking for our own brother. He disappeared from us!" - "How did he disappear from you?" - "And he was taken to the king. And we think that he ran away from him and, probably, got lost in this dark forest, because he was a fool" - "So why should you look for a fool?" - "How can we not look for him? After all, he is our brother, and we pity him more than ourselves, because he is a poor, stupid man!"

And the brothers had tears in their eyes. Then Emelya said to them: "This is me - your brother Emelya!" They do not agree with him in any way: "You, please, do not laugh and do not deceive us! We are already sick."

He began to assure them, told how everything had happened to him, and remembered everything he knew about his village. And besides, he took off his clothes and said: "You know that I have a large mole on my right side, and now it is on my side."

Then the brothers believed; he put them in a gilded carriage, and they drove on. Having passed the forest, we reached the village. Emelya hires another troika of horses and sends her brothers to the king: "And I will go for the daughters-in-law, your wives."

When Emelya arrived in his village and entered his home, the daughters-in-law were very frightened. And he says to them: "Get ready to the king!" They could hardly stand on their feet and wept bitterly: "Probably, our fool Emelya has missed something, and the tsar will probably put us in prison ..." And he orders: "Equip yourself as soon as possible and do not take anything with you! " And he sat them down beside him in a gilded carriage.

So they come to the royal palace, where the king, and the beautiful princess, and the royal retinue, and their husbands go to meet them. Husbands say: "Why are you very grieved? After all, this is our brother Emelyan Ivanovich with you!" They talk and smile merrily at their wives. Only then did they calm down, threw themselves at Yemelyan Ivanovich's feet and began to ask for forgiveness for their bad treatment of him earlier. Emelya forgave them everything and dressed everyone - both brothers and daughters-in-law - in precious clothes. And the king prepared a feast and gave a parental blessing to his daughter and Emela to go down the aisle. When they got married, Emelya did not make a feast in the royal palace, but invited everyone to his palace on the island. And the whole royal retinue with guests with great pleasure went to see this wonderful island and precious beautiful palace. And upon arrival there they set a feast for the whole world.

And I was there, wine, beer drank, flowed down my mustache, but did not get into my mouth!
