In the old days of one king had three sons. That’s when his sons were
on age, the king put them together and says:
- Sons of my kind, as long as I’m still not old, I would hunt you marry,
Look at your kiddies, on my grandchildren.
The sons of the father replied:
- So what, sir, God bless. On whom you desired to marry us?
- Listen, sons, grab the boom, get out into the open field and the Stray
lyayte: where arrows fall, there is your destiny.
The sons bowed to his father, took an arrow, went out in the open field, tension
zeros bows and shot.
The older son’s arm fell to the aristocratic court, raised the boom-Bojars
Kai’s daughter. In middle son fell on the broad arm merchant yard, under-
its adopted a merchant’s daughter.
And his youngest son, Prince Ivan, the arrow flew up and did not
knows where. Here he was, walked, went to the swamp and saw – sitting frog
picked up his arrow. Prince Ivan said to her:
- Frog, Frog, give me an arrow.
A frog he responds:
- Take me to marry!
- What do I take to wife a frog?
- Take it to know your fate like that.
Zakruchinilsya Prince Ivan. Do nothing, took the frog, brought home.
The king played three weddings: the eldest son married his daughter to the Boyar, mid-
second – to the merchant, and the unfortunate Ivan Tsarevich – the frog.
That the king called his sons:
- I want to see which of your wives best needlewoman. Let
I sew on a shirt by tomorrow.
The sons bowed to his father and went.
Prince Ivan came home, sat down and hung his head.
A frog jumps across the floor, asked him:
- What, Prince Ivan, his head hung? Or any hill?
- Father told you to sew a shirt for tomorrow.
The frog says:
- Do not worry, Prince Ivan, lay down to sleep better, sleep on it.
Prince Ivan went to bed, and the frog jumped onto the porch, took off with cross-
os frog skin and turned Vasilisa the Wise, so beautiful,
as in the fairy tale will not tell.
Vasilisa the Wise hit his hands and shouted:
- Nurse, nurse, assemble, fit! Sew me in the morning so
shirt, which I saw my father home.
Prince Ivan awoke in the morning, the frog jumps across the floor again, and only py-
pate on the table, wrapped in a towel. Delighted, Prince Ivan,
picked up a shirt, carried her to her father. The king at that time accepted gifts from large
sons. The eldest son opened the shirt, the king took it and said:
- This shirt in black wearing a hut.
Middle son opened the shirt, the king said:
- It only bath walk.
Prince Ivan has launched a shirt adorned with gold-silver, tricky
patterns. The king looked only:
- Well, here is a shirt – to wear at the feast. Brothers went to their homes
- Those two – and judge each other:
- No, see, we laughed at the vain Prince Ivan’s wife: it is not
frog, and some clever …
The king again summoned his sons:
- Let your wives bake me bread for tomorrow. I want to know that
better cook.
Prince Ivan hung his head, he came home.
The frog asks him:
- What zakruchinilsya?
He answers:
- It is necessary to bake tomorrow king of bread. Hitra – witch.
- Do not worry, Prince Ivan, better go to bed, sleep on it.
And those first daughter, then laughed at the frog, and now send one
zadvorenku grandmother look like a frog will bake bread.
The frog is cunning, it is smeknula. Kneaded kneading, stove top expan-
low but straight to the hole, and knocked the whole bowl. Grandmother zadvorenka
ran to the king’s daughter, all told, and they also have to do.
A frog hopped out onto the porch, turned Vasilisa the Wise, the blow-
la in his hands:
- Nurse, nurse, assemble, fit! I bake the morning of the soft
cue white bread, which I have of my father’s mother was eating.
Prince Ivan awoke in the morning, and already on the table bread, izukrashen
various tricks: patterns printed on the sides, top town with outposts.
Prince Ivan was delighted and wrapped the bread in his pants, carried him to his father. A
King then took the loaves from the big boys.
Their wives, then pospuskali dough into the oven, as they babushkazadvorenka said
and left them a burnt dirt. The king took the bread from his eldest son,
looked at it and sent the servants’ quarters. Received from the middle son and to the same-HSE
lal. And as filed, Prince Ivan, the king said:
- Here is bread, only to have his holiday.
And the king three sons that came to him tomorrow to the banquet
together with their wives.
Again, Prince Ivan returned home sadly, his head hung down past his shoulders.
A frog jumps across the floor:
- Kwa-Kwa, Prince Ivan, what zakruchinilsya? Or heard from priests
word unfriendly?
- Frog, Frog, I do not grieve! My father punished me to
come with you to a feast, and I’ll show you people?
The frog says:
- Do not worry, Prince Ivan, go to the feast alone, but I’ll follow you.
As you hear the sound of thunder yes, do not be afraid. They will ask thee, saying, «This is my la
gushonka in korobchonke rides. »
Prince Ivan and walked one. Here are the elder brothers arrived with their wives, pa-
zodetymi, razubrannymi, rouged, nasurmlennymi. Stand so over-Yves
nom-prince laugh:
- Why did you come from a wife? If I could bring her in a headscarf. Where were you the one-
Kuyu beautiful turn up? Tea, all swamps proceeded.
The king and his sons, daughter-in with the guests sat at tables of oak, for
tablecloths Bran – feast. Suddenly got a knock but the thunder, the whole palace
shook. Guests frightened, jumped up, and Prince Ivan says:
- Fear not, fair guests: that’s my frog in korobchonke arrived.
Flew to the king’s gilded carriage porch of six white horses,
and go from there Vasilisa the Wise: on azure dress – frequent star-
Di, on the head – the month of clear, so beautiful – nor want, nor vzgadat,
Only in a fairy tale to tell. It takes a Prince Ivan by the hand and leads
oak tables, tablecloths for the brane.
Guests began to eat, drink and be merry. Vasilisa the Wise drank out of a hundred-
Kan da posledki himself off the left sleeve poured. Bit-swan yes kostoch
ki for the right sleeve cast.
Wife big a princess saw her cunning, and let’s do the same.
Drink, eat, it was the turn to dance. Vasilisa the Wise picked up
Prince Ivan and went. So she danced, danced, spun, spun -
all in wonder. Waved her left sleeve – suddenly became a lake, waved
Right Sleeve – floated on the lake white swans. The king and guests da diva
were.
A senior sister went to dance: gave up sleeve – only guests
splattered, waved the other – only scattered bones, one bone to the king
my eye. The king became angry and chased the two daughters.
At that time, Prince Ivan was away slowly and ran home, found a
frog skin and threw it into the oven, burnt with fire.
Vasilisa the Wise returns home enough – there is no co-frog
Ms. She sat on the bench, zapechalilas, despondent and said Prince Ivan:
- Ah, Prince Ivan, what have you done? If you have only three days
wait, I have always been yours. And now goodbye. Look for me to distant
lands in the kingdom tridesyatom have Koshchei Immortal …
Vasilisa the Wise turned gray cuckoo, and flew out the window.
Prince Ivan wept, wept, bowed to the four corners and went
aimlessly – to look for his wife, Vasilisa the Wise. He walked close to see,
far whether long or a short boots, slip by Easter coat, bonnet
rain excised.
Comes to meet him, an old old man.
- Hello, my good fellow! What are looking for, where are you going?
Prince Ivan told him about their unhappiness. Old-old govo
rit him:
- Ah, Prince Ivan, why do you frog skin burned? Do not you put it on,
it was not you take off. Vasilisa the Wise cunning, wiser than his father
freak. He is for oserchal at her and told her to three years to be a frog.
Well, nothing to do, here’s a ball: where he fell, and there you go
him boldly.
Prince Ivan thanked the old old man and went for a ball. Cloud-
side roll, he goes after him. In the open field he comes across a bear.
Prince Ivan took aim, to kill the beast.
And the bear said to him, a human voice:
- Do not kill me, Prince Ivan, ever be of use to you.
Prince Ivan took pity the bear, it did not shoot went on.
Lo and behold, it flies over the drake. He took aim, and the drake says he four-
lovecheskim voice
- Do not kill me, Prince Ivan! I’ll be of use.
He took pity on the drake and walked away. Hare runs oblique. Ivan Tsarevich
again checked himself, wants to shoot him, and said human hare
voice:
- Do not kill me, Prince Ivan, I’ll be of use.
He regretted the hare, went further. Fits to the blue sea and sees – at
shore, the sand, lies the pike, barely breathing and he said:
- Ah, Prince Ivan, have pity on me, drop into the blue sea!
He threw the pike into the sea, walked on the beach.
Long, short if, rolled a ball toward the woods.
There is a hut on chicken legs, turning himself around.
- The Hut, hut, and stand in the old, the mother delivered: to the forest for-
home to me before.
The hut turned to him before, backward to the forest. Prince Ivan went
on it and see – on the stove, on the ninth brick, is the Baba Yaga – bone
leg, teeth – on the shelf, and the nose to the ceiling rooted.
- Why, my good fellow, come to me? – He says Baba Yaga. -
The matter of the case or trying to lytaesh?
Ivan Tsarevich she replied:
- Ah, the old hrychovka you would before I watered, fed, in the ba-
has evaporated, then would ask.
Baba Yaga in his bath, evaporated, watered, fed, packed bed,
Prince Ivan and told her that he is looking for his wife, Vasilisa the Wise.
- I know, – he said the Baba Yaga – your wife is now Koshchei
Immortal. It is difficult to get her a hard time with the Cochet cope: his
death at the end of the needle, that needle in the egg, the egg in a duck, a duck in the hare, the per-
yats sits in a stone chest, and chest stands on a high oak tree and the oak
Scrag immortal, as his eye protects.
Prince Ivan from Baba Yaga the night and next morning she said to him, where
grows tall oak tree. Long or a short, came back, Prince Ivan sees
- Costs, noisy high oak, stone chest on it, and get his work-
but.
Suddenly, from somewhere came from, rushed the bear and eversion oak by the roots.
Trunk fell and crashed. From the trunk popped a hare – and run away at full
agility. And then another hare being chased, caught and ripped to shreds. And from
hare flew a duck, rose high under the same sky. Looking at her cross-
lezen rushed, as it hit – a duck egg dropped, dropped the egg into the blue
Sea …
Then Prince Ivan burst into bitter tears – where to find the egg in the sea!
Suddenly, swims to shore and pike holds an egg in his mouth. Prince Ivan-time
beat the egg, took out a needle and let it end break. It breaks, and Koschey
Immortal beats and rushing. No matter how hard fought, nor tossed Koschey, broke
Prince Ivan at the end of the needle had Koscheyu die.
Prince Ivan went into the house of white stone Koshcheeva. Ran to him Ba-
Silis Wise, kissed him on the mouth of the sugar. Prince Ivan with Vasili-
Soi Wise returned home and lived happily to a ripe-hundred
grow.
