Anya loved to play with your grandfather of Vanya in hide and seek. But they had a special game, not like that when Anechka with other guys played at hide and seek.

The room at the grandfather Vanya was small, it was nowhere to hide in it.

There was a large bed, a wardrobe, a table, two chairs and a sofa with an amazing name - Atamanka.

Here on this Ataman Anya and hid. Closed her eyes with his palms, lay down face down and lay - quietly!

And Grandfather Vanya considered up to five and began to look.

He trogged the dress Anya, and said:

What is it? Probably, my akulina has been thrown here ...

Then I went around a room for a long time, as if checking where Anya could hide here?

And Tha's grandfather Vanya it turned out interesting! He said out loud in detail, he did not find an anechka in the closet, and did not find it under the table ... And Anechka tried his best not to laugh ahead of time. And even breathing quietly ...

Then grandfather Vanya said:

Here Anya, all shining from happiness, drowned on Ataman:

Here I am!

... Anya after all, and in fact felt invisible - and it was very fun and magical! As if she had a skill to disappear from the usual, visible world and to become transparent, like air, and then appear again.

... Once, when Anechka matured a little, after such a game of hide and seek, she said:

That would be great - and in fact, so be able to: disappear - and appear when you want!

And why do you know how to do, Anya? She asked her grandfather Vanya.

... And they began to discuss: why can a person be useful to be invisible?

Well, because not just to play and always win with the guys! Always win - it will even be bored!

And it turned out that it was not very necessary a person to be able to be invisible in the modern world.

Anya even upset ...

And then Grandfather Vanya asked:

And you want, I will tell you a fairy tale about the invisible hat?

Really want to! - Anechka exclaimed delighted and settled more comfortably on Ataman.

Well, then - Listen! - Smiling in the gray mustache, said Grandfather Vanya.

... and he began to tell:

She lived was the invisible hat. For a long time, she lived, for many heroes, she helped the battles with dragons win, printed from captivity from evil sorcerer to release all sorts of other feats.

Yes, only the times changed.

They quit the warriors and heroes ...

It turned out to be a hat-invisibility in the Museum of the Glass of ancient, lies on the showcase under the glass - and it is all "exhibit" called, surprise: what embroidery gold thread beautiful, what patterns are intricate! And what is it magic - no one knows!

Bored so the baby-invisible live! No life is at all: without a reason to lie on the side!

She lies and thinks: how would she change his life with her such a monotonous?

And I must say that since the hat was not ordinary, and the magic, then she knew how to think like a man. Yes Yes! So many years she lived on different wise heads - that he learned the mind-mind!

And then it happened that they came to the thieves museum. They stole all sorts of belonging gold things, and at the same time, and the hat was grabbed: maybe it will also be sold for big money, old one, the patterns of golden thread embroidered!

And one thief, take and put the cap on the head, because so much was so much, that in your hands it is not to keep.

He looked at himself in the mirror - and there is no ...

He smacked then, what kind of luck fell out: it's how it is convenient to steal when no one sees you!

He began to make deft robbery one after another.

Yes, only the hat was disgusting!

"Previously, I helped the heroes and heroes ... And now - to what I got it: the thief turned out to be in the service! It would be better if in the shop window as if in the coffin glass lie than such a shame! " - she thought.

From the thoughts of that thief, on the head of which she had to go now every night, - she was nauseous! And once when he stuck in a big store, the hat tried in the invisibility: she fell for the shelf - and fell on the floor.

And the thief did not notice this - and continues his sinful case, as if he was invisible. But everyone now has its own acts visible!

Here the thief and caught!

And the invisibility cap together with him was arrested. Yes, just did not know about its properties of magical ...

... lies in the invisible hat on the table at the detective in the office - as a physical proof ...

And here - autumn. In the office is cold. And from the window blows ...

She put on a hat with a hat on his head - and at the same moment disappeared.

This secret was not stupid. He quickly understood what benefit from invisibility will be in his work.

He became criminals now very deftly catch.

At first, the invisible hat was pleased with the change in the fate of his: "Still, the matter is good to make help! Although my new owner is not a hero, but it makes it useful! "

... But then she was bored with her cakes to peep that she decided to somehow change his work.

Once it turned out to be in the hospital, when the detective came there witness interview. In the hospital, he was given a bathrobe, and the hat and other top clothes were told to leave the wardrobe.

This is where the invisible hat and hesitated with hangers to fall! Yes, so well fell, which fell into one of the packages that sick children from parents were transferred. And now even parents come to these children: there was a quarantine.

So she in the ward at one boy between the hotels was.

And the one - because of his illness - there is no want. And does not look at the package even.

Lies a boy and thinks how to hide? Because now the doctor will come and the injection painful he will do.

And the invisible hat, any thoughts easily understood. After all, thoughts in the invisible ordinary eyes of the world - exist! And the invisible hat in that world was invisible very well versed!

So she understands it easily, what a boy thinks about the patient. So she wants to jump out of the package: "Here is me! Puting me rather! "

And then I noticed a boy between oranges and apples in a package something completely unusual. He pulled off the invisibility cap, wondered - and put on.

The doctor came to the ward, and there is no patient anywhere else ... Panic began, across the hospital Medical and Sanitars run began to search ...

And the boy at first was delighted, I got up and my hospitals went to the hospital: he really wanted to return home, missed mom and dad!

But then the boy from his illness was bad, and he fell without his strength. The invisible hat here tried to fall from the head of the boy - so as he could be found as soon as possible.

And he herself thinks: "Here is what trouble I did! And how should I continue to favor? I don't know yet! "...

And the boy does not put on the cap, but it says like that with her, as with a friend: about the sadness of his sorrows, about his disadvantages to his life, such an unfortunate hospital, about his fears. And the hat is silent and listens. And thinks: "How to help in this misfortune?"

Once the boy asked:

Cap, because you are a magical! Can you do so that me to see the disease forever stopped?

... Steel-invisible came about it ...

She became observed as the shadow dark in the invisible eyes of an ordinary man of the world approaching the body of a boy - and attacks him, she climbs into the body! Then he is bad and becomes ...

Only the way that shadow is expelled - she does not know ...

And the boy became a hat under the pillow to fold so that he was not so lonely and scared at night.

And the hat decided: "To console your new friend - I will show him a fabulous magic dreams!"

In these dreams, the boy was strong, bold, healthy, and adventures with him were different interesting. And in every such dream, he fought evil - and defeated, and decisions took the right, kind, and performed them always. He never coded, did not cry, but was similar to those heroes, which in the previous times, the invisible hat helped.

And after each such sleep, the boy woke up and a stronger and full strength!

And he wanted to become more like that in some ways he saw himself! And began to try my best! Even the injections are painful now tolerated without fear - to recover soon!

Gradually, at all the energy dark from his body disappeared.

And when the shadow came once again, to re-enhance the disease, he did not see the boy at all.

It turned out that the happie-invisibility had a child's disease to the boy to win, which was all incurable!

There was no limit to the surprise! And the boy soon discharged from the hospital.

And he, before discharged, the happie-invisibility of the sick girl, who was lying in the next chamber, gave. And told her how it helped him make a magic helger.

For the girl, the hat also began to invent magic fairy tales - so that the girl in them was healthy, strong, beautiful, good and affectionate.

And from the girl - also retreated the disease, and then passed at all. Because - that the girl herself changed and tried very hard to recover.

So since then and began in that hospital healing magic.

Doctors - are surprised! And the children - the cap is transferred to each other!

Only now the invisibility cap was upset: that it is very little time! After all, sick children in the hospital - so much! ...

... And then it happened that one little boy who had a hat at that time under the pillow lived and his dreams had shown him, told his doctor about her.

Doctor - a serious man, in the world invisible and magical does not believe. But healing is something - after all the fact!

Steel hat with different devices to explore, study. The fabric on different analyzes were cut, the threads were pulled out ...

And this doctor - he himself even did not put her! And if we were put on, then, maybe I would manage to teppate him about the fact that she had learned for his long life: that not only the body should be treated - but it takes a soul to help the disease to win! Together they would have gotten better! ...

Oh, as the invisible hat did not like it all! And she was not young, and here it was, and here - and the lining of sprouts, and all sorts of substances ocked! ...

She was almost disappointed in medicine, although he understood that without drugs and procedures of anyone - she would not deal with one with diseases of children.

But here - lucky again! He gave it to the doctor to the writer who was treated in that hospital.

He told the doctor to the writer about the history of healing, which with children took place, and says:

Here you have a plot for a fairy tale, go on your leisure!

... Well, with the writer, the hat made firmly!

She will tell him a fairy tale - and he will write it down and the whole children reads everything!

So they began to live!

... yes, that's just, some children in the hospital heal, and on replacing them all new in the hospital will be brought ...

... So, once came to the Hospital Clown - the young man-volunteer - to please the guys. He showed a funny presentation, he tried to cheer ...

The invisible hat here and tells the writer:

Give me, please clown!

And how do I write fairy tale?

You can already without me you can write soying! You understood the most important thing: that there are no diseases there, where the light and love in the souls shine! Invisible and invulnerable diseases such souls are very quickly becoming!

And I with this young man - I will do real magic! It is necessary to help healthy children so that they do not ill - neither bodies nor souls! And - so that the villains are not rose from them, and the reeds are real! It is necessary to do so that the magic is not fabulous, and the genuine in life is returned! This is a real case for me!

And this young man is a very suitable person! After all, it can not even the most magical and exceeding hat anything sensible to do without a man reasonable! Only such a person and his life can transform, and others will help in this!

Writer came out to the corridor, sees - a young clown stands: smokes and almost crying! On the face - a smile to the ears of the makeup is drawn, and the eyes are sad-gentle!

He says the writer him:

What do you want to help children, and how do you know?

Yes, I would like: I feel sorry to tears! ...

Do you know how to help them?

Something - I know! Only cigarettes smoking - throw, friend! Less will be nasty, which children breathe! Some after all, they hurt that next to them, other people smoke!

Young clown put out and threw a cigarette in the urn ...

That - threw!

Forever and ever?

Forever and ever! Speak, how to help children can?

Here is a gift! This is the invisible hat!

The young man took his hat with Pompon, put on the invisible hat - and immediately disappeared!

Only the body of the writer reflected in the mirror ...

Hey! - said Cap-invisible to a new friend.

The writer confirmed:

Yes, she knows how to talk with people! And your thoughts can read! And you will prompt smart advice! And the main thing - along with you she wants to learn how people better help!

She taught me how to write magic fairy tales. And you teach you promised a lot! I think that she will come in handy to you to show the presentations to show, the skills of the magic in people to open!

Grandfather Vanya looked carefully at her little listener and finished:

Well, Anya, on this - a fairy tale. And then it was - I do not know.

... Anechka This time he was so heard that even once with his grandfather Vanya did not interrupt. Only now she asked:

Grandfather, but about the invisibility cap - is it a chally or non-liberty?

A little bit - there is a little bit - noby. I told this story this story. We met him in that hospital. He also promised that the book would write with the fairy tales of the invisible caps.

And writers-storyfighters - they are more me fonders! So, you yourself decide where in this fairy tale, and where is the truth!

After all, this magic is not to be invisible to be with the help of invisible cap or by air on the carpet-plane fly, but in the fact that the wonderful things to do, which are joy and benefit to other people bring!

- Well, well. There is no longer a nurse with him, - running out, waved his hand of Peter.

"Oh, it seems, I found an interesting gear," Timka was delighted, seeing some people in tigers in the TV.

From the speaker of the TV heard the terrible growl of the tiger, the exclamations of hunters.

"Wow, so here how to catch Tigers," happily rubbing his hands, Timka said.

- What other tigers? Why tigers? - I did not understand the aunt Varya.

- It is clear why, for a circus or for the zoo, is not turning around, Timka explained.

A small fluffy kitten nicknamed Vaska, who slept on the floor, suddenly woke up and looked surprised on the TV screen. Seeing the tigers on the screen, the kitten got up on his paws and, having arched his back, hurt: Sh-sh-sh-shshshshshshsh!

"Oh, what are the passion," the aunt varied. Varya, closing the window.

At this moment and this transmission ends. Speaker's voice announces: "You watched a documentary movie about catching Bengal tigers."

Guys came to the kitchen. Fedya rolls the bike, Vovka with rods, and alenka in the grid from bees. Aunt Varya, seeing the guys in the window, reveals him and whispering them: - Guys, go here.

- What happened, Aunt Varya? - asks Fedya.

- Save Timka, everything will be lost from the TV. Not a single program is missing, "the cook complained.

- Maybe he loves fairy tales? Asked Alenka.

- What fairy tales are there. One-day football, then hockey. Only knows - the washer, the puck, - messenger Timka Varya. - If you, guys, collectively will not save him, the boy will disappear. It will not shift in the other side where it is necessary ... Yes, so that he burst, this twelve-channel. My eyes would not see him. But Fedi's bike is good.

- Very good. Three speeds racing. No one will catch up, - Fedya boasted.

- And you Timka put on the frame and ride on health ... or you, Alena, take Timka for an apiary. You, I see, gathered for an hour? - asked Aunt Vary.

- For an hour, - waved in the sign of the consent of Alenka.

- Such a cultural, such a scientific girl. Bee observes, animals love ... Well done girl. Timka call with them, let it help you, - looking at the girl with hope, asked the cook.

- Hey, Timka, turn off the TV. We are going on a bike to ride, - trying to shout the tv's noise, shouted Fedya. - Only I am now tires.

Pam-Pam-Pam-Pam, - continued Timka to click the program.

"Let's go to the river to catch, the aunt Varya wars my ear," Vovka put.

But Timka did not listen to them - he continued to watch TV.

- Oh, guys, I think it is necessary to draw it in the wall newspaper. As a console to TV. He hears anything, "the girl waved his hand towards Timka. "Tima," Alenka shouted, "you have not seen a kitten?"

- Yes, you will leave everything from me that you all needed, - without breaking away from the TV, Timka muttered.

- A difficult case, - knocking on the head, said Fedya. "One will go," said the boy and, jumped into the bicycle saddle, rolled along the path towards the river.

"I, too, perhaps, I will go, I am afraid to hunt the fish, and you will not wait for it," said Vovka and also headed towards the river.

The guys ran away by their affairs, and Timka was still sitting in a rocking chair and not looking around watched in the blue TV screen.

"We start a cheerful program for the guys," announcer declared solemnly. - The famous Focussian Futynuts is standing!

Music sounded, and a focker appeared on the TV screen. He bowed towards the viewers and began to show his focuses-cocks. At first he took the bedspread and hid behind him, so that only white gloves and a hat were visible. Then the bedspread fell, but there was no one there. Only white gloves and a hat remained hanging in the air. The gloves themselves slammed one of themselves, raised the bedspread, and Timka saw the famous magician again. In a hat and gloves. The magician bowed.

"That's great," Timka walked happily.

Suddenly the magician extended his hand from the screen and turned off the TV itself.

- Oh! - exclaimed Timka, exclaimed. The boy approached and turned on the TV again. The focker appeared on the screen stretches the hand again and turns off the TV screen again.

- ah! - Timka exclaimed again and turned on the TV again.

But the magician for the third time pulled his hand in a white glove and turned off the TV for the third time.

- It seems I sleep, "Thyme thought. - It is necessary to pin down well. So. So. Oh, hurt! No, it seems, I still do not sleep.

Timka approached the TV and turned on it again. The screen lit up, and the famous magician again appeared on it.

- Boy, maybe enough? - asked Futhynuts.

- ah! What is it? - Pulling, shouted Timka.

- Not that, and who is it. I, the famous Focussian Futynuta, order you: Turn off the TV immediately, otherwise it has long overheated.

- No, I probably still sleep, - Move more tighter to the screen, murmured Timka

"No, you're not sleeping," Feetnuts assured him.

- But the same can not be! Where are you? - asked the boy.

"I'm here," showing his finger inside the TV, the magician answered.

- And where am I? - stretched the neck Timka.

"And you are there," the Focifer to Timka pointed his finger.

"So does not happen," Timka said in doubt.

There was a miller who had three sons and one-only daughter. He loved her, and his sons were always unhappy: they could not please the Father. It was very sad brothers, they were bad in the father's house, and often they were sitting together, sighing and ohae, and did not know how to be.

One day, when they sat again, one of the brothers noticed with sadness:

- Eh, kaba, we had a hat-invisible, we would have achieved everything!

- What to do with it? - asked another brother.

"Dwarfs living in these mountains covered with the forest" explained the first, "there are caps called invisible, and when you wear such a hat, you are doing invisible. This is a wonderful case, cute brothers! You can disappear before people who do not want to pay any attention to you, and from which you never hear a friendly word; You can go where you want, and take everything you want; And no soul sees a man covered with such a hat.

- Yes, but how to get this treasure? - asked the youngest of the brothers.

"Dwarfs are a little funny folk who loves to enjoy," said the elder brother. - They sometimes give great pleasure to throw their caps in the air. Hops! - Everyone sees dwarf, - Hops! - Dwarf catches his cap, puts on it and becomes invisible again. And then it is necessary to arrange so that as soon as the dwarf thumps the cap, lively grab it and instantly catch the cap. Then the dwarf is done visible, and caught the hat becomes the master of the whole dwarf world. Well, here you can leave a hat to yourself in order to be made invisible, or demand so much treasure from dwarves that they could have been secured for life; After all, dwarfs have all the metals hidden in the depths of the Earth, and know how to use the miraculous forces of nature.

- So thing! - exclaimed one of the brothers. "So go and get us happiers-invisible or, at least get yourself such a hat and help us so that we still live better."

"I will do it," said the elder brother and soon went to the mountains covered with forest. The path there was quite distant, and only in the evening our well done arrived to the mountains where dwarfs lived. Having come for one glade, he noticed the traces of Kuwarkhan and Dancing Dwarfs, he immediately began to wait. Soon the funny babes began to appear; They jumped over each other, threw their hats and got fun to the most ridiculous way.

Suddenly, one of the caps fell right near him, he rushed to her, but the dwarf, to whom she belonged to her, turned out to be much more superior, grabbed his cap and shouted:

- Diebio! Diebio!

The whole company gathered for this cry, rushed on our well done, just a bunch of ants on the beetle. He could not even defend himself, grabbed him and led deeply under the ground, where dwarfs lived.

Both remaining brother's houses were very sad and sad, seeing that the elder brother was not returned. And the sister became terribly: she was kind, gentle, her heart often had a heart that his father was so rude and unwriting with her brothers and only her had attention. The old miller grumbled everything:

- What is for me for sadness, if one of the unsuitable boys went to all the hell, - one chopper is less in the house! It will be back, I got used to working, - thin spore, do not seem soon!

However, the day was going after day, and the young man did not return, and his father became stricter and twisted. Both brothers are fading about their fate, and the middle brother said:

- Do you know, brother, what! I'll go, now in the mountains, maybe I will get the invisibility cap. I imagine the matter like this: it can be seen, the brother got a hat and went to walk in her white light, wants, first, look for his happiness, and I forgot about us and think about us. I'll be back, as soon as it is lucky. But if I do not return, so, it means that I was not lucky, then forgive, do not remember lich! ..

They were sad, and now the middle brother went to the mountains covered with green forest. There it happened to him exactly all the same as with the elder brother. He saw the dwarfs, rushed after the hat, but one clever dwarf picked her, shouted:

- Diebio! Diebio! - And all Vataga underground creatures rushed at him; He was tied so hard that he could not move, and dragged into the underground kingdom.

With an increasing impatience, I expected at home, on the mill, the younger brother of the return of the middle brother, but in vain. Here he fell scary, because I understood: the second brother was missing; The sister also saddled, one father remained indifferent and only told:

- disappeared, so disappeared! The house does not like to live, so the tablecloth is the road, the light is great, and in my house a carpenter also did not forget to cut holes for the doors. There was a good dunge, no, - went to the ice to dance, slipped and broke my leg. Let Nesnuckle rushes where he wants! What are you sad about the poor sinner? I'm so glad that I got rid of him.

However, so far the younger brother found a consolation, sharing his grief with other brothers, now, when they all did not return, his position was unbearable, and he said sister:

- Cute sister, I'll leave too and hardly come back if the same thing happens to me as with the brothers. Father does not love me, although I am not to blame for anything. The sword words that he awarded the three of us three, now they will fly on me alone, to transfer it to me is not forces. Farewell to stay happily!

The sister did not want to let go of the younger brother, whom she loved more than others, but he was taught from her.

All the way he only thought, how to get the invisible hat. As soon as he arrived at the Green Mountains, he immediately found out that the platform, where dwarfs were going for their night dancing, games and martial arts; In the evening dawn, he was there he waited there, while dwarfs came, began to dance and throw the caps.

One of the babes approached almost close to him, threw the cap, but the smart small one did not move. He thought: "There is still time, let the little man take himself and becomes more brave." Dwarf, really, seeing that nothing can be done here, took a hat, lying around at all about the boy, and moved away. A little time later, another hat flew and fell near the boy. "CSO," he thought, "the whole rain of the caps will rain," but he waited until the third hat fell him right on her hand. Dapecker! - He grabbed her and vividly jumped on his feet.

- Diebio! Diebio! Diebio! - Loudly shouted the dwarf, who belonged to the hat, his subtle, crackle, piercing voice, - and the entire dwarf world burned and threw it around him.

But the boy put on the cap, became invisible, and they could not do anything with him. Then they raised a plaintive screech and crying together together and began to ask for an invisible thief so that he would be for anything else, returned to them the cap.

- No matter what? - Smart Small dwarf asked. - This is suitable for me, we can be stumping. First, I just need to figure out what exactly that "what" is. First of all, I ask: Where are my brothers?

- They are downstairs, in the bowels of the Green Mountains! - answered the dwarf, who belonged to the invisible hat.

- What are they doing there?

- Serve us.

- So, they serve you, and you - to me. Vividly! Serve them here! Their service is over, your!

And here, the underground people had to conquer the earthly person, as the possession of the invisibility hacking, he achieved power over them.

Alarmed and saddened dwarfs went now with their lord to the door, which closed the hole, which led inside the green mountain; The door with the creak opened, and everyone quickly disappeared after her. The dungeon was a lot of huge chambers, long galleries and small rooms and camork, adapted for the various needs of dwarfs. Not having time to look good, the boy first ordered the brothers to bring himself. They came, dressed as servants, and shouted, seeing his brother:

- Oh, here you are here, our cute, good brother, our baby!

Here we are all three together, but now we are all under the rule of these underground spirits and never see any light, nor earthly forests, no blooming fields!

"Cute brothers," the younger brother objected, "I think that there will be a holiday on our street." Submit luxury Barsquets for my brothers and for me! - He ordered dwarfs, tightly holding a precious hat-invisible in his hands.

In one minute, his order was executed, the brothers changed clothes, and the conqueror of the dwarf ordered a dinner consisting of the most sophisticated dishes and the best wines. Then began singing, music, theater and dancing - in all these arts, dwarfs were big masters. Then they brought luxury beds for rest. After the rest, in the entire underground kingdom, they lit a great illumination, brought a crystal carriage, harvested by wonderful horses, and the brothers went to ride the green mountains to explore everything that was in them the attractions. They drove down the gorges, supranted precious stones, saw grandiose waterfalls, admired how the metals bloom, like flowers - there were silver lilies, and golden sunflowers, and copper roses - everything was shining with glitter, luxury and splendor.

Finally, the Lord of Karlikov began to bargain with them because of the invisibility cap and offered them the following conditions. First, he demanded a drink from wonderful healing herbs, the power of which was so well known to dwarfs; With this drink, he wanted to heal the sick heart of his father and cause love in it to all three sons. Secondly, he demanded such a treasure, which is approved to give only the royal bride, he appointed him to give it to his beloved sister. Third, he demanded a whole WHO precious stone and artistic utensils, which dwarfs knew how to make, and still WHO gold coins - because they say: everyone is seduced, and the brothers so wanted to live with the brothers. He then wished to have for each of the brothers on a carriage of the most convenient device, with crystal glasses, and to each carriage everything is necessary: \u200b\u200bKucher, horses, luxurious harness.

Listening to these orders, dwarfs only shifted from her legs to the leg, bent into three deaths, had such a possibility that the stone would have been touched; But their moan and Ohh have not led to anything.

- Well, if you do not want, - said the Terrible Lord, - Excellent, then we stay with you; It is not necessary to live here, and I still have everyone to take off the invisible caps. Then see what will happen to you, they will kill everyone as they envy. This is still a little! I abrupt me upstairs, to the ground, to pick up the toad, and I put them on the night of the bed to each of you.

Only only the lord said the word "toad", as all the dwarfs rushed in the despair on his knees and screamed:

- Smoy! Long! For the sake of everything in the world, just not it! Only not this punishment! - After all, the toads for dwarfs are horror and faithful death. Sighing, they agreed to everyone immediately went to get all the required and accurate to fulfill the commands of their strict lord.

Meanwhile, on the mill of a sullen miller, it did not matter. When the youngest son also left, the old man shouted:

- Well, he disappeared, as if it fell through the ground, "so it is always: growing children, and they turn you back. Well still that girl is with me, my treasure, my favorite!

The favorite was sitting smartly da cried.

- Again you cry! - Ground the old man. - Think, so I believed that you cry about your brothers? About the unfortunate you kill you, who is going to wander for you. He has no penny, I have no penny, "we have all three together, it means that neither a penny. Do you hear how the mill is knocking? Do not hear? I also do not hear. The mill is worth, I can't work, but you can't go to get married, or do you want to play a beggar wedding? What do you say to it?

This kind of speech listened to daily daily and washing himself from his secret grief.

And in one fine morning, three carriages rocked to the mill; Baby-kuchet ruled horses, babies-lackeys opened the doors of the carriage; Three beautiful young people, dressed, as if the prince, came out of them.

The set of servants began to mess around with other crews: filmed, unloaded, untied boxes, bales, heavy chests - and all this dragged on the mill. Silently from surprise, the miller stood and his daughter.

- Good morning, father! Good morning, sister! So we came! - cried all three brothers at once. However, neither the father nor the daughter still did not move and looked at them by letting the eyes.

- Chokem for our return, cute father! - exclaimed the eldest son, from the hands of one of the Laces, a bottle of a noble drink, which he poured to the edges in the Golden Glass of his most skillful work and filed his father. He drank, passed on, and all drank. Wonderful warmth spilled over all the lives of the old man, warmed his cold heart; This warmth has become a fire, flaming fire of love. Father I was crying, rushed to hug my sons, kissed and blessed them. Here came the groom daughter, he also took a wonderful drink.

Mill wheels are quickly spinning from all this joy, so long standing without movement - the clips that clappo, and also, "the clips that Clapp," they stretch now.

In folk fairy tales there are many magical items: a carpet aircraft, boots, swords, sword-Claverian, invisible hat, tangle, acting as a navigator. Some of them would not refuse modern people. Any hostess would be delighted, for example, self-bale tablecloth. No need to go to the store for products, stand at the stove. Distilted her on the table - and lunch is ready. What fairy tales have a self-bale tablecloth? What a deep meaning is hidden behind this symbol of abundance? Let's deal with.

From the boat-self-banner: what fairy tale is the first time?

In many European legends, magic items appear, capable of quickly and deliciously feed their owner. In the ancient myths, this feature was performed by a horn of an abundance owned by the gods. It is filled with flowers and fruits. The Grimm brothers have a story about a pot, cooking sweet porridge. In what fairy tale the name "Tablecloth-Selfrank" is used for the first time, it is impossible to say. But she became another symbol of wealth.

The word self-banner has two roots: "Himself" and "Bran". The last one can be interpreted in two ways. Perhaps he originated from the word "take". Or is associated with the concept of "stone tablecloth". So in Russia was called an elegant, patterned tissue, which was covered with tables for feasts. For the first time mention of it we meet in the annals of the 12th century.

Dream about a light life or a gift from the world of the dead?

The life of the Russian peasant was hard. From dawn, people worked in the field, cared for home cattle, the stoves were treated, prepared food. There was no heating, water pipes, washing machines, vacuum cleaners and microwaves. Perhaps a tablecloth-self-banner is a dream of devices that facilitate the work of home owners? When you do not need to knead the dough, stand at the slab, remove from the table?

Another version put forward the Russian folkloride V. Ya. Prippet. He believes that the self-priming tablecloth is a phenomenon from the afterlife. It gives her a hero when he is experiencing a strong hunger, that is, is on the threshold of death. The magic object symbolizes the transition to the world of other, where a person is given to his affairs. A kind character can relax from work and enjoy delicious disasters. Angry remains with nothing.

To understand which of these versions is correct, remember, in what fairy tales there is a nap-self-bare. After analyzing their content, we will be able to come to the right conclusion.

What events occur in the fairy tale "Tablecloth-Selfrank"?

This magic object can be found in Russian, German and French folklore. When you try to remember, in what a fairy tale there is a name "Tablecloth-self-bare", the first one comes to mind, which is called. It says about the three brothers who went to look for happiness and came up on the mountain of precious stones. Two senior wondered full pockets and went home. And the younger brother followed further, making good deeds on the way and getting a touch-self-banner for them, a wretcher with a roth soldier and a magical horn.

Upon returning home, with the help of gifts, he was able to marry the daughter of the king, but she turned out to be greedy, stole a wretcher with the soldiers and told them to claim her husband into the dungeon. The guy of the old men, which he helped in the first part of the fairy tale "Tablecloth-self-ban", and a magical horn. As a result, a kind hero, together with his saviors, left dishonest people where the eyes look.

Plots of other fairy tales

We will continue to remember which fairy tales there is a self-balancing tablecloth. In history about two Ivanov, the poor, whose family is starving, appeals for help to the greedy rich. He gives him a handful of flour, saucer Kisl and yesterday's soup. But on the way home the wind, the sun and frost destroys the precious wear. As compensation for damage, they are presented to the victims of magic items, including a self-balancing tablecloth. But the rich is deception takes them. So continues until the poor Ivan has a sum with batons. Greedy Tester gets deserving.

Similar plots are found in the fairy tales "Tablecloth-self-banner, wallet and two of the suma", "table-sam-snatch, golden donkey and a dumina from the bag." They are talking about the restoration of justice. There is this magic subject and in the fairy tales "Korolevich and his uncle", "about the bogatyr of Ivan Tzarevich and his married Tsar-Device."

Fear before hunger

In all fairy tales, the heroes are rejoicing with successful acquisition. However, they are little concerned that the simphany tablecloth facilitates the cooking process. The most important is confidence in the other future. The peasant was always afraid of hunger. Even the most hardworking and secured owner could be at the broken trough because of the raids of the enemy or stabbing.

Tablecloth-self-primary - a guarantee that in the most hungry year on the table there will be food. Possession this miracle gives the hero confidence in the future.

Fair award

Remembering, in which fairy tales there is a strain tablecloth, pay attention to the similarity of their plots. This item gets good, smart, responsive heroes. Most often it is a gift for disinterested help, although sometimes it is obtained by tricks. Tablecloth-self-ban saves from hunger at the moment when a person is needed. Good hero generous, he invites to dine with him every counter.

For this, it is waiting for the payback. As a rule, the tablecloth-self-banner steals a greedy man. But happiness obtained by fraudulently, quickly leaves. Anyway, but the greedy hero is waiting for fair retribution, and the magic item returns to the legal owner.

V. Ya. Pripppe saw the story of the afterlime world behind this plot, where everyone comes to merit. In some Russian fairy tales, there is indeed the kingdom of the dead, the metaphorical personification of which is a wagon, Baba Yaga with a bone foot. But in this case we do not see anything like that.

Fairy tales about the self-bale tablecloth teach us honest, hardworking and responsive. Then, even being in trouble, we will receive help from the most universe. This will happen in this life, where there is a place of wonders and good people. Happiness, acquired in dishonest path, is quickly destroyed. The Russian people wise, and once again calls us not to despair, believe in good and refuse evil.
