Find a fairy tale at the behest of a pike to read. "By the Pike's Command"
Once upon a time there was an old man, and he had three sons - two smart, and the third, Emelya, was a fool.
Two older brothers work, and Emelya lies on the stove all day and beats his thumbs. Once the brothers left for the market, and let the daughters-in-law ask Emelya:
- Emelya, go get some water.
And he told them from the stove:
- Reluctance.
- Go, Emelya, otherwise the brothers will come back, they will be angry.
- Well, okay, so be it, I'll go get water.
Emel got down from the stove, put on his shoes, got dressed, took buckets and an ax and went to the river.
Emelya made a hole in the ice with an ax, filled the buckets with icy water, and he himself looks into the water.
Look - and there's a pike in the hole!
Emelya contrived and grabbed a toothy fish.
- Here the ear will be glorious!
And suddenly take the pike and tell him in a human voice:
“Don’t ruin me, Emelyushka, let me go, I’ll still come in handy for you.”
And Emelya laughs:
"What will you use me for?" No, I'd rather take you home, tell my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup.
And pike him again:
“Let me go, Emelyushka, I will do whatever you want.
- All right, pike, only you first prove that you are not deceiving. Make sure that the buckets go home by themselves, and the water would not spill...
The pike answers:
- Well, just before you make a wish, say the magic words: "By the command of the pike, according to my desire."
Emelya says:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - go, buckets, home ...
He just said - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emel lowered the pike into the hole and went for the buckets.
Buckets go through the village, people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckles. The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench. And Emelya again climbed onto the stove.
A little time passed, and the daughters-in-law again approached him:
- Emelya, chop wood.
- Reluctance.
- Prick, Emelya, otherwise the brothers will come back, they will be angry.
- Well, okay, so be it, I'll chop wood. At the command of the pike, at my desire - go, ax, chop wood, and you, firewood, go into the hut yourself and put yourself in the oven ...
He just said - an ax jumped out from under the bench - and into the yard and let's chop firewood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and climbs into the oven.
A little more time passed, and again the daughters-in-law asked Emelya:
- Emelya, the firewood is over. Go to the forest, chop.
And he told them from the stove:
- Reluctance.
- Go, Emelya, otherwise the brothers will come back, they will be angry.
- Well, okay, so be it, I'll go to the forest for firewood.
Emel's tears from the stove, put on shoes, got dressed. I took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and sat in a sleigh:
“Baby, open the gate!”
And his bridesmaids say to him:
“Why, you fool, got into the sleigh, but didn’t harness the horse?”
“I don’t need a horse.
The daughters-in-law opened the gates, and Emelya whispered to the sleigh:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - go, sleigh, into the forest ...
He only said how the sleigh went, so fast that even a horse could not keep up.
We had to go through the village, and Emelin's sleigh was crushed along the way, many were beaten on the sides, and bumps were put on many. The people were angry at Emelya, shouting at him, cursing.
And Emelya doesn’t even blow in his mustache, know yourself driving the sleigh.
Came to the forest and says:
- At the command of the pike, at my desire - an ax, chop dry firewood, and you, firewood, yourself fall into the sleigh, knit yourself ...
The ax began to chop dry trees, and the firewood themselves fell into the sleigh and knitted with a rope. Soon there was a whole load of firewood. And then Emelya ordered the ax to knock out a heavy club for himself, sat on the cart and said:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - go, sleigh, go home ...
And the sleigh rushed home, but faster than before. Emelya drives through the village, where he has crushed a lot of people just now, and there they are already waiting for him. They seized Emelya and dragged her from the cart, scolding and beating her.
Emelya sees that things are bad, and whispers under his breath:
- At the behest of the pike, at my will - come on, cudgel, hit their sides ...
The club jumped from the cart and let's look after the people, so much so that everyone fled. And Emelya came home and again climbed onto his favorite stove.
Soon the news of Emelin's tricks reached the Tsar-father himself. He called an officer to him and ordered him to deliver Emelya to the palace.
An officer enters Emelin's hut and asks:
Are you Emelya the Fool?
And Emelya to him from the stove:
- And what do you need?
- Dress smartly, I'll take you to the Tsar.
- Reluctance.
The officer got angry and how he hit Emel on the top of his head.
And Emelya whispers under her breath:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - a club, crush his sides ...
The club jumped out from under the bench and let's beat the officer. He took his legs by force. The King was surprised, called the most important nobleman to himself and said:
“Bring the fool Emelya to me in the palace, otherwise I’ll take my head off my shoulders!”
The most important nobleman bought raisins, prunes, gingerbread, came to Emelin's hut and let his daughters-in-law ask what he, they say, loves.
- Our Emelya loves to be kindly asked and promised a red caftan.
The most important nobleman gave Emela raisins, prunes, gingerbread and said:
- Emelyushka, what's the use of lying on the stove? Let's go to the King.
And I'm warm here...
- Emelyushka, at the Tsar's you will be fed and watered.
- Reluctance.
- Emelyushka, the Tsar will give you a red caftan and a hat with boots in addition.
Emelya thought and thought and said:
- Well, okay, so be it, I'll go to the Tsar. You go ahead, and I'll follow you.
The nobleman left, and Emelya says:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - go, bake, to the Tsar's palace ...
Corners cracked in the hut, the roof creaked, the wall drove off, the stove rolled out into the yard and went straight down the road to the Tsar.
The king looks out the window, marvels:
- What kind of miracle is this?
And the most important nobleman answers him:
- And this is Emelya the fool on the stove going to you.
The Tsar came out onto the porch:
- Something, Emelya, there are a lot of complaints about you! Like, you suppressed a large number of people.
- And why did they climb under the sled?
At this time, the Tsar's daughter, Marya the Tsarevna, was looking at him through the window.
Emelya saw her and whispered under his breath:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - love me, Tsar's daughter ...
- And you, oven, take me back home ...
The stove turned and went home, rolled into the hut and stood in its original place.
Emelya is lying down again, lying down and beating his thumbs.
And in the Tsar's palace there are screams and tears: Marya-Tsarevna dries up along Emelya, cannot live without him, prays to the priest to marry her to Emelya. Here the Tsar was in charge, he was in pain.
He called to himself the most important nobleman and said:
- Go this very minute for Emelya, deliver him to me, otherwise I will take my head off my shoulders!
The most important nobleman bought sweet wines and various snacks, came to Emelya and let's regale him with sweets.
Emelya ate, got drunk, got tipsy and went to bed. And the nobleman put him in a sleigh and took him to the Tsar.
The tsar immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled in and Emelya the Fool and Marya the Tsarevna to be put into it. Then the barrel was closed with a lid, pitched and thrown into the sea.
How much time has passed, you never know, but Emelya woke up. He sees it is dark and cramped.
— Where am I?
And in response he hears:
- Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! They pitched us into a barrel and threw us into the blue sea.
- And who are you?
- I am Marya-Tsarevna.
And Emelya whispered under his breath:
- At the behest of the pike, at my will - violent winds, roll the barrel onto a dry shore, onto the yellow sand ...
Violent winds blew, the sea became agitated, foamed, threw the barrel onto a dry shore, onto the yellow sand. The captives crawled out of the barrel, and Marya-Tsarevna says:
“Where are we going to live, Emelyushka?” Build any kind of hut.
- Reluctance.
And she asks him even more than before, she says affectionate words.
- Well, okay, so be it, I'll build it.
And under his breath he whispers:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - line up a stone palace with a golden roof ...
Just said - a stone palace with a golden roof appeared. All around is a green garden: flowers bloom and birds sing. Marya-Tsarevna with Emelya entered the palace, sat down at the window.
- Emelyushka, can't you become handsome?
Here Emelya thought for a while:
“At the pike’s command, at my will, to become a good young man, a written handsome man ...
And Emelya became such that neither in a fairy tale can be said, nor described with a pen.
And at that time the Tsar went hunting and sees - there is a palace where there was nothing before.
“What kind of ignoramus has set up a palace on my land without my permission?”
The ambassadors ran, stood under the window, asking questions.
Emelya answers them:
- Ask the Tsar to visit me, I will tell him myself.
The King came to visit. Emelya meets him, leads him to the palace, puts him at the table. They start drinking.
The king eats, drinks and is not surprised at all:
“Who are you, good fellow?”
- Do you remember Emelya the Fool - how he came to you on the stove, and you ordered him and your daughter to be pitched into a barrel, thrown into the sea? I am the same Emelya. If I want, I will destroy your entire kingdom.
The Tsar was frightened unspeakably, began to ask for forgiveness:
- Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, just don't ruin me, old man!
On that they agreed. And they made a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Marya-Tsarevna and began to reign. Here the fairy tale ends, and who listened - well done.
About Emelya and the pike.
- There lived an old man. He had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya.
Those brothers work, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, not wanting to know anything.
Once the brothers went to the market, and the 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 return from the market, they won’t bring you presents.
OK.
Emel got down from the stove, put on his shoes, got dressed, took buckets and an ax and went to the river. 
He cut through the ice, scooped up buckets and put them down, and he himself looks into the hole. And I saw Emelya in the hole in the pike. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:
Here the 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 for? .. No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll order my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup. The ear will be sweet.
The pike pleaded again:
Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll do whatever you want.
Okay, just show first that you are not deceiving me, then I will let you go.
Pike asks him:
Emelya, Emelya, tell me - what do you want now?
I want the buckets to go home on their own and the water would not spill ...
The pike tells him:
Remember my words: when you want something - just say:
"According to the pike command,
At my will."
Emelya says:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Go, buckets, go home yourself ... 
He just said - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went for the buckets.
Buckets go through the village, people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckles ... The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.
How much time has passed, how little time - the daughters-in-law say to him:
Emelya, why are you lying? I would go and chop wood.
Reluctance...
If you don’t chop wood, the brothers will return from the market, they won’t bring you gifts.
Emelya is reluctant to get off the stove. He remembered the pike and slowly says:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Go, axe, chop wood, and firewood - go into the hut yourself and put it in the oven ...
The ax jumped out from under the bench - and into the yard, and let's chop firewood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and climbs into the oven.
How much, how little time has passed - the daughters-in-law again say:
Emelya, we have no more firewood. Go to the forest, chop.
And he told them from the stove:
What are you up to?
How - what are we doing? .. Is it our business to go to the forest for firewood?
I'm reluctant...
Well, there will be no gifts for you.
Nothing to do. Emel's tears from the stove, put on shoes, got dressed. I took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and sat in a sleigh:
Dads, open the gate!
His bridesmaids say to him:
Why, you fool, got into the sleigh, but didn’t harness the horse? 
I don't need a horse.
The daughters-in-law opened the gates, and Emelya said quietly:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Go, sleigh, into the forest...
The sledge itself went to the gate, and so quickly - it was impossible to catch up on a horse.
And I had to go to the forest through the city, and then he crushed a lot of people, suppressed them. The people shout: "Hold him! Catch him!" And he, you know, drives the sleigh. Came to the forest
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Ax, chop dry firewood, and you, firewood, yourself fall into the sleigh, knit yourself ...
The ax began to chop, chop dry firewood, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and knitted with a rope. Then Emelya ordered the ax to knock out a club for himself - such that he could hardly lift it. Sat on the cart:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Ride, sleigh, home...
The sleigh raced home. Again Emelya is passing through the city where just now he crushed, crushed a lot of people, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and dragged her from the cart, scolded and beat her.
He sees that things are bad, and slowly:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
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, how short - the tsar heard about Emelin's tricks and sends 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 a fool Emelya? 
And he is from the stove:
And what do you need?
Get dressed quickly, I'll take you to the king.
And I don't feel like...
The officer got angry and hit him on the cheek. And Emelya says quietly:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Club, break off his sides...
The club jumped out - and let's beat the officer, he took his legs by force.
The tsar was surprised that his officer could not cope with Emelya, and sends his greatest nobleman:
Bring the fool Emelya to me in the palace, otherwise I will take off my head from my shoulders.
He bought the biggest nobleman raisins, prunes, gingerbread, came to 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 whatever you ask.
The greatest nobleman gave Emela raisins, prunes, gingerbread and said:
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 don't feel like...
Emelya, Emelya, the tsar will give you a red caftan, a hat and boots. 
Emelya thought and thought:
Well, okay, you go ahead, and I'll follow you.
The nobleman left, and Emelya lay still and said:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Come on, bake, go to the king ...
Here in the hut the corners cracked, the roof shook, the wall flew out, and the furnace itself went along the street, along the road, straight to the king.
The king looks out the window, marvels:
What is this miracle?
The greatest nobleman answers him:
And this is Emelya on the stove going to you.
The king came out onto the porch:
Something, Emelya, there are a lot of complaints about you! You crushed a lot of people.
And why did they climb under the sled?
At this time, the tsar's daughter, Princess Marya, was looking at him through the window. Emelya saw her at the window and said quietly:
According to my wish -
Let the king's daughter love me...
And he also said:
Go, bake, go home...
The stove turned and went home, went into the hut and stood in its original place. Emelya is lying down again.
And the king in the palace screams and tears. Princess Marya misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya. Then the tsar got into trouble, agonized and said again to the greatest nobleman:
Go, bring Emelya to me, alive or dead, or I'll take my head off my shoulders.
The great nobleman bought sweet wines and various snacks, went to that village, entered that hut and began to regale Emelya.
Emelya got drunk, ate, got tipsy and went to bed. And the nobleman put him in a wagon and took him to the king.
The king immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled up. They put Emelya and Marya Tsarevna in it, pitched it and threw the barrel into the sea.
How long, how short - Emelya woke up, he sees - it's dark, crowded:
Where am I?
And they answer him:
Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! They pitched us into a barrel, threw us into the blue sea.
And who are you?
I am Princess Mary.
Emelya says:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Violent winds, roll the barrel onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand...
The winds blew violently. The sea was agitated, the barrel was thrown onto a dry shore, on yellow sand. Emelya and Marya the princess came out of it.
Emelyushka, where are we going to live? Build any kind of hut.
- I don't feel like...
Then she began to ask him even more, and he said:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Line up, 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 Tsarevna and Emelya entered the palace and sat down by the little window.
Emelyushka, can't you become handsome?
Here Emelya thought for a while:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
Become a good young man, a written handsome man ...
And Emelya became such that neither in a fairy tale can be said, nor described with a pen.
And at that time the king went hunting and sees - there is a palace where there was nothing before.
What kind of ignoramus has set up a palace on my land without my permission?
And he sent to ask: "Who are they?" The ambassadors ran, stood under the window, asking questions.
Emelya answers them:
Ask the king to visit me, I will tell him myself.
The king came to visit him. Emelya meets him, leads him to the palace, puts him at the table. They start drinking. The king eats, drinks and is not surprised:
- Who are you, good fellow?
Do you remember the fool Emelya - how he came to you on the stove, and you ordered him and your daughter to be pitched into a barrel, thrown into the sea? I am the same Emelya. If I want, I will burn and destroy your entire kingdom.
The king was very frightened, began to ask for forgiveness:
Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but don't ruin me!
Here they arranged a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Princess Marya and began to rule the kingdom.
Here the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened - well done.
We are used to the fact that Emelya, from the Russian folk tale “By Joking Command”, is a narrow-minded person, not smart, but simply a fool. He sits on his stove, does no good deeds, dismisses the requests of his daughter-in-law. It would seem that a completely worthless person. But for some reason, both children and adults like to read about Emelya, they like this fairy tale, this unpretentious story. And why? Firstly, because it is about our Russian young man, even though he has not yet fledged. What are his years? He will also become a real person. And secondly, Emelya’s desires are painfully attractive: for buckets of water to go home on their own. Doesn't this remind you of anything? (“And we have running water. Here!”). And the sled? "Go sleigh home yourself." (This is the prototype of the car). So Emelya is far from being a fool. He just dreamed ahead of time about how to make a fairy tale come true ...
"By the Pike's Command"
Russian folktale
There lived an old man. He had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya. Those brothers work, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, not wanting to know anything.
Once the brothers went to the market, and the 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 return from the market, they will not bring you gifts.
- OK.
Emel got down from the stove, put on his shoes, got dressed, took buckets and an ax and went to the river.
He cut through the ice, scooped up buckets and put them down, and he himself looks into the hole. And I saw Emelya in the hole in the pike. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:
Here the ear will be sweet!
Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll be useful to you.
And Emelya laughs:
What will you use me for? No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll tell my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup. The ear will be sweet.
The pike pleaded again:
Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll do whatever you want.
- Okay, just show first that you are not deceiving me, then I will let you go.
Pike asks him:
Emelya, Emelya, tell me - what do you want now?
- I want the buckets to go home on their own and the water would not spill ...

He just said - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went for the buckets.
Buckets go through the village, people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckling ... The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.
How much time has passed, how little time - the daughters-in-law say to him:
Emelya, why are you lying? I would go and chop wood.
- Reluctance...
- You won’t chop wood, the brothers will return from the market, they won’t bring you gifts.
Emelya is reluctant to get off the stove. He remembered the pike and slowly says:
By pike command,
According to my wish -

The ax jumped out from under the bench - and into the yard, and let's chop firewood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and climbs into the oven.
How much, how little time has passed - the daughters-in-law again say:

Nothing to do. Emel's tears from the stove, put on shoes, got dressed. I took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and got into a sleigh:
Dads, open the gate!
His bridesmaids say to him:
- What are you, fool, got into the sleigh, and the horse is not harnessed?
- I don't need a horse.
The daughters-in-law opened the gates, and Emelya said quietly:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
go, sleigh, into the forest ...
The sleigh drove through the gates on its own, so fast that it was impossible to catch up on a horse.
And I had to go to the forest through the city, and then he crushed a lot of people, suppressed them. The people are shouting “Hold it! Catch him! And he knows the sleigh drives. Came to the forest
By pike command,
According to my wish -

The ax began to chop, chop dry wood, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and knitted with a rope. Then Emelya ordered the ax to knock out a club for himself - such that he could hardly lift it. Sat on the cart:

And he also said:

The stove turned and went home, went into the hut and stood in its original place. Emelya is lying down again.
And the king in the palace screams and tears. Princess Marya misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya.
Then the tsar got into trouble, agonized and said again to the greatest nobleman:
Go and bring Emelya to me, dead or alive, or I'll take my head off my shoulders.
The great nobleman bought sweet wines and various snacks, went to that village, entered that hut and began to regale Emelya.
Emelya got drunk, ate, got tipsy and went to bed. And the nobleman put him in a wagon and took him to the king.
The king immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled up. They put Emelya and Marya Tsarevna in it, pitched it and threw the barrel into the sea.
How long, how short - Emelya woke up; sees - dark, crowded:
Where am I?
And they answer him:
Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! They pitched us into a barrel, threw us into the blue sea.
And who are you?
- I am Princess Mary.
Emelya says:
- By pike command,
According to my wish -
violent winds, roll the barrel out onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand...
The winds blew violently. The sea was agitated, the barrel was thrown onto a dry shore, on yellow sand. Emelya and Marya the princess came out of it.
Emelyushka, where are we going to live? Build any kind of hut.

Then she began to ask him even more, and he said:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
build 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 Tsarevna and Emelya entered the palace and sat down by the little window.
Emelyushka, can't you become handsome?
Here Emelya thought for a while:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
become a good young man for me, a written handsome man ...
And Emelya became such that neither in a fairy tale can be said, nor described with a pen.
And at that time the king went hunting and sees - there is a palace where there was nothing before.
What kind of ignoramus has set up a palace on my land without my permission?
And he sent to find out, to ask: “Who are they?”. The ambassadors ran, stood under the window, asking questions. Emelya answers them:
Ask the king to visit me, I will tell him myself.
The king came to visit him. Emelya meets him, leads him to the palace, puts him at the table. They start drinking. The king eats, drinks and is not surprised:
Who are you, good fellow?
- Do you remember the fool Emelya - how he came to you on the stove, and you ordered him and your daughter to be pitched into a barrel, thrown into the sea? I am the same Emelya. If I want, I will burn and destroy your entire kingdom.
The king was very frightened, began to ask for forgiveness:
Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but don't ruin me!
Here they arranged a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Princess Marya and began to rule the kingdom.
Here the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened - well done.
***
The fairy tale "By the Pike's Command" teaches us that in life you need to be able to make wishes. It is clear that the magic pike will not come, although, who knows? The main thing is that you need to find the right reservoir in time (your territory, field of activity), and firmly go towards the fulfillment of your desires. Emelya is lucky. Everything ended just fine for him. And he received a kingdom, and a noble wife. Lucky - the strongest, persistent, assertive. Good luck to all of us!
AND il-there was an old man in the world. And he had three sons: two were smart, and the third was a fool. And the name of that fool was Emelya.
Two smart brothers work all day, and Emelya lies on the stove all day, does nothing and does not want to do anything.
One winter morning, the brothers left for the market, but Emelya stayed at home. His daughters-in-law, his brother's wives, send him for water:
- Go get some water, Emelya.
And he answers them from the stove:
- I don't feel like it...
- Well then fine.
Emelya slowly got down from the stove, got dressed, put on shoes, took an ax and buckets and went to the river.
He cut through the ice with an ax, scooped up buckets of water, and put the buckets on the ice. Looks, and in one bucket the pike has got! Emelya was delighted, and said:
- I'll take the pike home and cook a rich fish soup! Hey Emelya!
“Emelya, have pity, don’t eat me, let me go into the water, I’ll still come in handy for you.”
And Emelya just laughs at her:
- Well, what will you be useful to me for? .. No, perhaps I'll take you home and cook your fish soup. Noble ear will come out!
The pike pleaded again:
- Well, Emelya, please let me go into the water, I will fulfill your every desire, everything you wish.
- All right, - says Emelya, - just show that you are telling the truth, then I will let you go.
pike says:
- Well, think, Emelya - what do you want?
Emelya thought.
- I want the buckets to go home by themselves ...
And the pike says to him:
- It will be your way. Remember, Emelya: when you want something, just say:
"At the command of the pike, at my will." And everything will come true at once.
Emelya says:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - go, buckets, go home yourself.
As soon as he said this - look, and the buckets really went home on their own. Emelya released the pike back into the hole, and he went for the buckets.
They walk through the village, the people marvel: the buckets themselves go, and Emelya trudges behind, and chuckles ... Here the buckets themselves went into the hut, and they themselves began to stand on the bench, and Emelya again climbed onto the stove.
How much, how little time has passed - and the daughters-in-law again say to him:
- You should go, Emelya, to the forest. Firewood chopped.
- No, I don't feel like...
- Emelya, well, go, soon the brothers will return from the market, they will bring you gifts for this.
And Emelya does not want to get off the stove. But there is nothing to do. He got down from Emelya's stove, got dressed, put on his shoes. I took an ax and a rope, went out into the yard, sat in a sleigh:
"Open the gates, ladies!"
And they answer him:
- What gate? You, fool, got into the sleigh, but you didn’t harness the horse!
I will go without a horse.
The daughters-in-law shook their heads, but the gates were opened, and Emelya quietly said:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - go, sleigh, into the forest yourself ...
And the sleigh itself went into the forest, and so quickly that it was impossible to catch up on a horse.
And I had to go to the forest through the whole village. He was a lot of people, while he was driving, he suppressed and crushed. They shout after him: “Catch him! Hold him!" And Emelya, you know, drives the sleigh. He came to the forest, got out of the sleigh and said:
- At the pike's command, at my will - chop for me, an ax of firewood, and which are drier, and you, firewood, fall into the sleigh yourself, and knit yourself into armfuls ...
The ax itself began to chop dry firewood and chop it, and then the firewood itself began to fall into the sleigh, and tied with a rope.
Here a whole cartload piled up, and Emelya ordered the ax to cut out a bigger club for himself - such that he could barely lift it. He sat down on the cart and said:
- Well, now, at the behest of the pike, at my will - go, sleigh, go home yourself ...
The sleigh rushed home. As they drove into the village, where they had recently passed, and where Emelya suppressed, crushed, a lot of people, they immediately attacked him. They grabbed Emelya, dragged him from the cart, beat him and scolded him.
Emelya sees that things are bad, and says quietly:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - come on, club, break off their sides ...
The baton jumped out of the sled and began to beat everyone in a row. The people rushed away, and Emelya came home, and to the stove to the stove.
How much time has passed, you never know, but the tsar heard about the tricks of the Emelins, and he sends an officer after him - to find Emelya and bring him to the palace.
An officer comes to Emelya, enters the hut and asks:
Are you Emelya the fool?
And Emelya to him from the stove:
“And why did I give up on you?”
- I'll take you to the king, come on, get dressed soon.
The officer got angry, shouted, climbed up to Emelya with his fists, and he said quietly:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - a club, break off his sides ...
A club jumped out from under the bench - and let's beat the officer, he barely carried his legs.
The tsar was surprised that his military could not cope with Emelya, and then sends a boyar to Emelya:
- Go and bring Emelya to me in the palace - a fool. And if you don’t bring it, I’ll take my head off my shoulders.
The boyar took with him gingerbread, sweets and raisins, went into the hut and to his daughters-in-law - to ask them what Emelya likes.
Emelya loves to be asked affectionately, and they promise to give him a red caftan - that's when he will do everything, you can ask whatever you want.
The boyar treated Emelya with sweets and gingerbread, and said:
- Emelya, and Emelya, let's go with me to the king.
- No, I'm reluctant, I'm warm here too ...
- Emelya, and Emelya, well, let's go, there they will give you delicious water, hearty food, please, let's go.
"No, I don't feel like...
- Well, Emelya, let's go, the king will give you a red caftan, boots and a hat.
Emelya thought and thought, and agreed:
- Well, okay, just go ahead, and I'll follow you.
The boyar left, and Emelya still lay on the stove, and he says:
I don't want to get off the stove. Well, at the command of the pike, at my desire - go, bake, to the king yourself ...
Here the corners in the hut crackled, the wall flew out, the roof shook, and the stove itself went out into the street, and went along the road, straight to the royal chambers.
The king looks out the window, surprised:
- What is this miracle?
And the boyar answers him:
- And this is the king-father to you, Emelya is riding on the stove.
Emelya drove on the stove and right into the royal chambers
Emelya rode on the stove and straight into the royal chambers.
The king was frightened, and said:
- There are a lot of complaints about you, Emelya! You crushed a lot of people.
“Why did they crawl under the sled themselves?” Emelya says
At this time, Princess Marya, the daughter of the king, looked out the window. Emelya saw her in the window, he liked her, and he says quietly:
- At the command of the pike. according to my desire - let Tsarevna Marya love me ... In the meantime, go bake, go home ...
The stove turned around, and she went home, went into the hut and stood in her original place. And Emelya is lying on the stove, lying down.
At that moment, screams and tears began in the palace. Princess Marya fell in love with Emelya, she dries for him, misses him, cannot live without him, wants to marry Emelya. As soon as the tsar, father, found out about this, he was so upset, again he called the boyar to him, and he said to him:
- Go and bring Emelya to me. Otherwise, I'll take your head off your shoulders.
The boyar bought sweet wine, and intoxicated honey, and various snacks, and went to Emelya. Enters the hut, and began to treat Emelya.
Emelya ate, drank, got tipsy and went to bed. And the boyar put Emelya in a sleigh, and he took him to the tsar.
The king immediately immediately ordered a large oak barrel to be rolled. They put Maya the princess with Emelya in a barrel, caulked the barrel, tarred it and threw it into the sea.
How much, how little time has passed - Emelya woke up, he sees - closely, darkly:
"Where am I?"
And in the darkness someone answers him:
- Oh, Emelyushka! We were pitched into a barrel with you, but thrown into the blue sea.
— And who are you?
- I am Princess Mary.
Then Emelya says:
- At the command of the pike, at my will - violent winds, roll the barrel dry on the shore, on yellow sand ...
Violent winds blew. The sea was agitated, the barrel was thrown onto the dry shore. Princess Marya and Emelya came out of the barrel. Princess Mary asks:
- Emelyushka, where are we going to live with you? Build some kind of hut.
- No, - says Emelya - I'm reluctant ...
Here Princess Marya began to cry, and then Emelya said softly:
“According to the command of the pike, according to my desire, let a stone palace with a golden roof stand here ...
And as soon as he said this, immediately a stone palace with a golden roof appeared in front of them. All around - a garden blooming, green: and the birds in the garden sing and the flowers bloom. Emelya and Marya Tsarevna entered the palace and sat down by the little window.
- Emelyushka, can you become an unwritten handsome man?
Here Emelya did not think long:
- By pike command, according to my desire - I want to become a handsome hand-written, good fellow ...
And as soon as he said, he immediately turned into a handsome man. Not in a fairy tale to say, not to describe with a pen.
And at this time, the tsar goes hunting by the time and sees - in a place where there was nothing before, there is a palace.
- Who is this without my permission, but on my land he set up his palace?
And he sent the boyar to find out: “Who lives in the palace?” The boyar ran, stood under the window and asked.
And Emelya answered them from the window:
- Let the king come to visit me, I will tell him myself.
The tsar drove into the palace, Emelya met him, led him to the palace, and seated him at the table. They start drinking. And the king drinks, eats and is not surprised at all:
“But who are you, good fellow?”
“Do you remember Emelya the fool, who came to you on the stove, and then you ordered him, together with your daughter, to be pitched into a barrel, and thrown into the abyss of the sea?” Here I am the same Emelya. And if I want, then I will destroy your whole kingdom and destroy it.
Then the king was frightened, and began to ask Emelya for forgiveness:
“Emelyushka, marry Princess Marya, take my kingdom, but don’t ruin me!”
Emelya forgave him, and they immediately arranged a feast for the whole world.
Emelya married Princess Marya and began to rule the kingdom.
Here the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened - well done.
Three brothers lived, two were smart, and the third was a fool: smart brothers went to the lower cities to buy goods and say to the fool:
Well, look, you fool, listen to our wives and honor them like your own mothers; we will buy you red boots, and a red caftan, and a red shirt.
They gave the fool an order, and they themselves went to the lower cities; and the fool lay down on the stove and lies. The bridesmaids tell him:
What are you, a fool! The brothers told you to read us and for this they wanted to bring you a gift, and you are lying on the stove, doing nothing; go get some water.
The fool took the buckets and went to fetch water; scooped up water, and a pike fell into his bucket. Fool and says:
God bless! Now I’ll cook at least this pike, we hire ourselves, but I won’t give it to my daughters-in-law; I'm angry with them!
Do not eat, fool, me; put it back in the water, you'll be happy!
Fool asks:
What is your happiness?
But what happiness: what you say, it will be! So tell me: at the command of the pike, at my request, go, buckets, go home yourself and put yourself in your place.
As soon as the fool said this, the buckets immediately went home by themselves and put themselves in their place. The bridesmaids look and marvel. "What a fool he is! - they say. - Look how cunning that his buckets themselves came home and put themselves in their place.
The fool came and lay down on the stove; the daughters-in-law began to say to him again:
What are you, a fool, lie down on the stove! There is no firewood, go for firewood.
The fool took two axes, got into the sledge, did not harness the horse.
By pike, - he says, - by command, at my request, roll, sleigh, into the forest!
The sleigh rolled quickly and quickly, as if someone was driving them. The fool had to drive past the city, and without a horse he crushed so many people, what a horror! Everyone was shouting:
Hold it! Catch him! - but they didn't catch him. The fool drove into the forest, got out of the sleigh, sat down on
well and said:
One ax, chop from the root, the other - if firewood! Here the firewood was chopped and piled into the sleigh. Fool
Well, one ax, now go and cut down a cookie for me, so that I have something to lift.
The ax went and cut down his kukova; Cookie came, lay down on the cart. The fool sat down and drove off; he is driving past the city, and in the city the people have gathered, for a long time they have been watching him. Here the fool was caught, they began to win and pinch; fool and says:
At the command of the pike, at my request, go, cook, clap!
Kukova jumped up and went to break, beat and nailed a lot of people; people, like sheaves, so fall to the ground! The fool got rid of them and came home, piled firewood, and sat down on the stove himself.
So the townspeople began to beat him with their foreheads and reported to the king: “So, you can’t take him, you need to get him by deceit, and it’s best to promise him a red shirt,
red caftan and red boots. Send for the fool royal messengers.
Go, they say, to the king; he will give you red boots, a red caftan and a red shirt.
So the fool said:
At the command of the pike, at my request, stove, go to the king!
He himself sat down on the stove, the stove went on. The fool came to the king. The king already wanted to execute him, but that king had a daughter, and she painfully liked the fool; she began to ask her father to marry her to a fool. The father got angry, married them and ordered them to put them both in a barrel, to pitch the barrel and put it on the water. That's how it's done.
For a long time the barrel floated on the sea; the fool's wife began to ask:
Make it so that we are thrown ashore. Fool said:
At the command of the pike, at my request - throw this barrel on the shore and tear it apart!
They came out of the barrel; the wife again began to ask the fool to build some kind of hut. Fool said:
At the command of the pike, at my request - build a marble palace, and that this palace should be just opposite the royal palace!
Now everything is fulfilled; the king saw the new palace in the morning and sent to find out who was living in it? As soon as he learned that his daughter lived there, at the same moment he demanded her and her husband to come to him. They came; the king forgave them, and began to live together, live and make good.
