At the pike's command, read. At the command of the pike (2)

26.03.2019

Once upon a time 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, doesn’t want to know anything.

One day 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 and won’t bring you gifts.

- OK.

Emelya 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 set them down, while he looked into the hole. And Emelya saw a pike in the ice hole. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:

- This ear will be sweet!

“Emelya, let me go into the water, I’ll be useful to you.”

And Emelya laughs:

“What will I need you for?.. No, I’ll take you home and tell my daughters-in-law to cook some fish soup.” The ear will be sweet.

The pike begged again:

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

“Okay, just show me first that you’re not deceiving me, then I’ll 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 not to spill...

Pike tells him:

- Remember my words: when you want something, just say:

"By pike command, according to my wishes."

Emelya says:

- At the behest of the pike, at my will - go home, buckets...

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

The buckets are walking through the village, the people are amazed, and Emelya walks behind, chuckling... The buckets went into the hut and stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.

How much or how little time has passed - his daughters-in-law say to him:

- Emelya, why are you lying there? I would go and chop some wood.

- Reluctance...

“If you don’t chop wood, your brothers will return from the market and they won’t bring you gifts.”

Emelya is reluctant to get off the stove. He remembered about the pike and slowly said:

“According to the pike’s command, according to my desire, go, take an ax, chop up some firewood, and for the 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 wood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and into the stove.

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

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

And he told them from the stove:

- What are you talking about?

- What are we doing?.. Is it our business to go to the forest for firewood?

- I don't feel like...

- Well, there won't be any gifts for you.

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

- Women, open the gates!

His daughters-in-law tell him:

- Why did you, fool, get into the sleigh without harnessing the horse?

- I don't need a horse.

The daughters-in-law opened the gate, and Emelya said quietly:

- At the behest of the pike, at my desire - go, sleigh, into the forest...

The sleigh drove through the gate on its own, but it was so fast that it was impossible to catch up with a horse.

But we had to go to the forest through the city, and here he crushed and crushed a lot of people. The people shout: “Hold him! Catch him! And you know, he’s pushing the sleigh. Arrived in the forest:

“At the behest of the pike, at my wish, an axe, chop some dry wood, and you, firewood, fall into the sleigh yourself, tie yourself up...”

The ax began to chop, chop dry firewood, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and was tied with a rope. Then Emelya ordered an ax to cut out a club for himself - one that could be lifted by force. Sat on the cart:

- At the behest of the pike, at my desire - go, sleigh, home...

The sleigh rushed home. Again Emelya drives through the city where he crushed and crushed a lot of people just now, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and dragged her off the cart, cursing and beating her.

He sees that things are bad, and little by little:

- At the behest of the pike, at my will - come on, club, break off their sides...

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

Whether long or short, the king heard about Emelin’s tricks and sent an officer after him to find him and bring him to the palace.

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

- Are you a fool Emelya?

And he from the stove:

- What do you care?

“Get dressed quickly, I’ll take you to the king.”

- But I don’t feel like...

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

- At the behest of the pike, at my will - a club, break off his sides...

The baton jumped out - and let’s beat the officer, he forcibly carried off his legs.

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

“Bring the fool Emelya to my palace, otherwise I’ll take your head off your shoulders.”

The great nobleman bought raisins, prunes, and gingerbread, came to that village, entered that hut and began asking his daughters-in-law what Emelya loved.

“Our Emelya loves it when someone asks him kindly and promises him a red caftan, then he will do whatever you ask.”

The great nobleman gave Emelya raisins, prunes, and 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 water, please, let’s go.”

- But 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 behind you.

The nobleman left, and Emelya lay still and said:

- At the behest of the pike, at my desire - come on, bake, go to the king...

Then the corners of the hut cracked, the roof shook, the wall flew out, and the stove itself went down the street, along the road, straight to the king.

The king looks out the window and wonders:

- What kind of miracle is this?

The greatest nobleman answers him:

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

The king came out onto the porch:

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

- Why did they climb under the sleigh?

At this time, the tsar’s daughter, Marya the Princess, was looking at him through the window. Emelya saw her in the window and said quietly:

- At the behest of the pike. according to my desire, 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 returned to its original place. Emelya is lying down again.

And the king in the palace is screaming and crying. Princess Marya misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya. Here the king became upset, became upset and said again to the greatest nobleman:

- Go, bring Emelya to me, alive or dead, otherwise I’ll take your head off your shoulders.

The great nobleman bought sweet wines and various snacks, went to that village, entered that hut and began to treat Emelya.

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

The king immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled in. They put Emelya and Maryutsarevna in it, tarred them and threw the barrel into the sea.

Whether for a long time or for a short time, Emelya woke up and saw that it was dark and cramped:

- Where am I?

And they answer him:

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

- Who are you?

- I am Princess Marya.

Emelya says:

- At the behest of the pike, at my will - the winds are violent, roll the barrel onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand...

The winds blew violently. The sea became agitated and the barrel was thrown onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand. Emelya and Marya the Princess came out of it.

- Emelyushka, where will we live? Build any kind of hut.

- But I don’t feel like...

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

- At the behest of the pike, at my will - line up, a stone palace with a golden roof...

As soon as he said, a stone palace with a golden roof appeared. There is a green garden all around: flowers are blooming and birds are singing. Princess Marya and Emelya entered the palace and sat down by the window.

- Emelyushka, can’t you become handsome?

Here Emelya thought for a while:

- At the behest of the pike, at my desire - to become a good fellow, a handsome man...

And Emelya became such that he could neither be told in a fairy tale nor described with a pen.

And at that time the king was going hunting and saw a palace standing where there was nothing before.

“What kind of ignoramus built a palace on my land without my permission?”

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

Emelya answers them:

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

The king came to visit him. Emelya meets him, takes him to the palace, and seats him at the table. They begin to feast. 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 tarred in a barrel and 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 and began to ask for forgiveness:

“Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but don’t destroy me!”

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

This is where the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened, well done.

About Emelya and pike.

Those brothers work, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, doesn’t want to know anything.

One day the brothers went to the market, and the women, daughters-in-law, let’s send him:

Go, Emelya, for water.

OK.

Emelya 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 set them down, while he looked into the hole. And Emelya saw a pike in the ice hole. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:

This will be a sweet soup!

Emelya, let me go into the water, I will be useful to you.

And Emelya laughs:

What will I need you for?.. No, I’ll take you home and tell my daughters-in-law to cook some fish soup. The ear will be sweet.

The pike begged again:

Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I will do whatever you want.

Okay, just show me first that you’re not deceiving me, then I’ll 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 not to spill...

Pike tells him:

Remember my words: when you want something, just say:

"At the command of the pike,
According to my wishes."

Emelya says:

At the pike's command,
According to my wish -

Go home yourself, buckets...

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

The buckets are walking through the village, the people are amazed, and Emelya is walking behind, chuckling... The buckets went into the hut and stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.

The winds blew violently. The sea became agitated and the barrel was thrown onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand. Emelya and Marya the Princess came out of it.

Emelyushka, where will we live? Build any kind of hut.

And I don't feel like...

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

At the command of the pike, at my will - line up, a stone palace with a golden roof...

Emelyushka, can’t you become handsome?

Here Emelya thought for a while:

At the behest of the pike, at my desire - to become a good fellow, a handsome man...

And Emelya became such that he could neither be told in a fairy tale nor described with a pen.

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

Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but don’t destroy me!

Here they had a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Princess Marya and began to rule the kingdom.
Here we go

Once upon a time there were brothers. The first is smart, the second is smart, and the third is a complete fool. The eldest and middle worked tirelessly, but the youngest lay on the stove and did not want to do anything.

One day the older brothers went to the market, but the younger Emelya stayed at home.

The wives of the elder brothers tell him:

- Emelya, bring water from the ice hole.

He responded:

- No, I don’t want to.

- Go, dear, otherwise your brothers won’t bring you any gifts from the market.

- Well, so be it.

Emelya crawled down from the heated stove, took two buckets with him, got dressed, put on shoes, grabbed an ax and went to get water.

He came to the river, made an ice hole, scooped up water and placed full buckets nearby. He looks, and there’s a pike in the hole! Grab it, pulled it out and said:

— Good ear will come out of you!

- Let me go, Emelya, I will still be useful to you.

He laughs:

- How will you be useful to me? No, I’ll take you home and feed your brothers some delicious fish soup.

The pike begged:

- Let me go into the river, I will do whatever you ask.

“Have it your way, just first prove that you won’t deceive me.”

- Tell me, what would you like now?

- Let the buckets come home on their own and not spill a drop of water!

- Remember magic words. As soon as you want something, say: “By pike command, according to my desire..."

Emelya repeated:

- At the behest of the pike, at my will! Come on, buckets, go home.

As soon as he said the magic words, the buckets went home on their own.

The buckets go through the village, and Emelya trails behind them, chuckling. People look and are not surprised. They reached the house, the buckets jumped onto the bench, and Emelya climbed back onto the stove.

The daughters-in-law turn to Emelya again:

Why are you lying on the stove? Go chop some wood!

Come on! I don't feel like...

“If you don’t chop wood, your brothers will leave you without gifts.”

All the same, Emelya doesn’t want to bother with firewood. He remembered the pike’s words and whispered:

- At the behest of the pike, at my will... An ax, cut wood! And you, firewood, jump into the stove yourself!

Wonderful! In the yard, the ax chops the wood itself, and they jump into the stove! Only when the wood ran out did the ax return to its place under the bench.

The wives are not appeased:

- Emelya, we've run out of wood! Go into the forest and chop it.

He responded:

- What about yourself?

- Is it really our concern to go get firewood?

- I don’t feel like it!

- So you will be left without gifts.

Emela had to get off the stove again. He takes an ax and a rope, sits in the sleigh and shouts:

- Open the gates, women!

They responded:

- Why are you sitting down, fool? You have a sleigh without a horse!

- I don't need a horse.

The women opened the gates, and Emelya whispered:

- At the behest of the pike, at my desire... roll, sleigh, into the forest yourself!

Then the sleigh began to roll, and so quickly that even a horse could not overtake it.

The road lay through the city. He surprised a lot of people there, and suppressed those who were gaping.

They shout after him: “Stop! Hold it! Catch him!”, and he goes on his way, not paying attention to anyone. I reached the forest.

- At the behest of the pike, at my will! Rub, axe, dry firewood. And you, firewood, lie down in the sled, tie yourself together.

The hatchet will jump up and let’s chop off the dry branches. And they themselves fit into the sleigh and tie it with a rope. Then Emelya ordered the ax to find a heavy club so that it would be difficult to lift it. And he sits down in the sleigh and says:

- At the behest of the pike, at my will! Roll, sleigh, home yourself!

Emelya again rides through the city, in which he surprised and suppressed a bunch of people, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and pulled her off the cart, beat her, scolded her and called her names. He realized that it would be difficult for him and whispers:

At the behest of the pike, at my will! Bludgeon, hit their sides!

A baton jumped out and began to crush the sides. Everyone rushed in all directions. Emelya jumped into the sleigh and went home. He arrived and went straight to the stove.

The king found out about Emelya’s antics and called him to his place. He sent a servant to bring Emelya to the palace.

The servant arrived in the village, entered the hut and asked:

-Are you Emelya the fool?

Emelya in response:

- What do you want?

- Get ready, the king is calling you to the palace!

- I don’t feel like it.

The serviceman got angry and slapped Emelya in the face. Emelya whispers:

At the behest of the pike, at my will! Bludgeon, hit his sides!

The baton rose and began to beat the serviceman. He barely made it.

The king was surprised that he could not cope and returned without Emelya. He sends a nobleman after him and threatens to remove his head from his shoulders if he does not fulfill his order.

The nobleman bought delicious dishes, gingerbread, raisins, prunes, came to the village and went to his daughters-in-law. Asks them:

- What does your Emelya like?

- Loves affection and gifts. So if you ask, he will do everything.

A nobleman came to Emelya, gave him various goodies, raisins and gingerbread, and said:

- Get up, Emelya, from the stove. The king is waiting for you in the palace.

- I feel good here too.

- There they will feed you and give you something to drink. Let's go, please!

- Somewhat reluctant.

- The king has prepared gifts for you there! Boots, caftan and hat!

Emelya thought and answered:

- Okay, go ahead. I'll catch up with you.

Emelya lay there a little longer and whispered:

- At the behest of the pike, at my will! Go bake, go to the king’s palace.

The hut creaked, the logs crackled, the stove rolled out into the street and went to the king.

The king looks out the window and cannot believe his eyes! He sees Emelya on the stove coming to visit him.

The king went down to the porch and said:

- Hey, Emelya! People are complaining about you. You suppressed a lot of people!

- So they climbed under the sleigh themselves.

At that moment, Princess Marya looked out the window. Emelya noticed her and whispered:

- At the behest of the pike, at my will! May the king's daughter love me! And you, oven, go home!

They arrived home, the stove was back in its old place. And Emelya just lay there and still lies there.

Meanwhile, in the palace there are tears and snot. Marya Tsarevna laments and gets bored and cannot live without Emelya. She asks her father to give her in marriage to Emelya.

The Tsar-Sovereor became sad and began to think. Again he calls the nobleman and punishes:

- Bring Emelya to me. Otherwise I’ll leave you without a head!

The nobleman knows his business. He bought wine and snacks, came to Emelya and treated him.

He drank wine, ate snacks, got drunk and fell asleep. The nobleman took it and went to the king.

As soon as the nobleman came to the palace, the king ordered Emelya and Marya the princess to be walled up in a barrel, tarred and thrown into the sea.

Emelya woke up, and everything around him was cramped and dark. Asks:

-Where am I?

He hears in response:

- Emelyushka! We were walled up in a barrel, tarred and sent into the sea!

- Who are you?

- Marya the Princess.

- At the behest of the pike, at my will! Winds, direct the barrel to the shore, roll it out onto the sand.

The winds arrived, blew, directed the barrel to the shore and rolled it out onto the sand. Emelya and Princess Marya came out of it.

-Where should we live now? Build a hut, Emelyushka!

- I don’t feel like it.

- Emelya, build a hut, please...

- At the behest of the pike, at my will! Appear before me a golden palace!

As soon as he spoke, a golden palace and a green garden around him appeared before him. Flowers bloom in it, birds sing.

- Emelyushka, can you become handsome?

- At the behest of the pike, at my will! Let me become a handsome man, a good fellow!

Emelya turned into a handsome man, and into something that could neither be said in a fairy tale nor described with a pen.

The king was just passing through here on a hunting trip. He sees a palace in front of him that was not there before.

“Who dared to build a palace on royal land without my knowledge?”

I sent him to find out and find out. Emelya answered the ambassadors:

- Let the king himself come to visit. I'll tell him everything.

The king arrives to visit. Emelya meets him, escorts him to the palace, seats him at the table, and offers him treats. The king marvels, eats, drinks.

- Who are you, good fellow?

“Once upon a time the fool on the stove came to your palace. You ordered him to be walled up in a barrel with your daughter, tarred and thrown into the sea. So this is me! Emelya! Now if I want, I will destroy your kingdom.

The king was frightened and decided to ask for forgiveness.

- Take my daughter as your wife, Emelyushka, and the kingdom is mine, just don’t destroy me!

Emelya agreed. They arranged a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Princess Marya and became a ruler-sovereign.

That's the end of the fairy tale, at the behest of the pike, and whoever listened - well done!
