According to Pike

There was an old man. He had three sons, two intelligent, the third - Fool Emelya.

Those brothers are working, and the whole day is Emelya on the stove did not want to know anything.

Once the brothers went to the market, and the women, sister, let's send it to:

- Go, Emelja for water.

And he named the stove:

- Reluctance ...

- Go, Emelya, and the brothers from the market gate, do not you bring goodies.

- Okay.

Tears Emelja the stove, put on his boots, got dressed, took the bucket so the ax and went to the river.

Cut through the ice, he scooped up a bucket and set them, and he stares at the hole. And I saw in the hole Emelja pike. Contrived and grabbed a pike in his hand:

- That would be sweet to the ear!

Suddenly the pike tells him in a human voice:

- Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll be of use.

A Emelja laughs:

- What are you useful to me? No, I'll carry you home, daughters-ear'll have to cook. Will ear sweet.

Pike pleaded again:

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

- Okay, just show first that does not deceive me, then let go.

Pike asked him:

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

- I want to go home themselves bucket and the water would not have splashed ...

Pike says to him:

- Mark my words, when you want it - just say:

According to Pike,
As I desire.

Emelya and says:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

Turn, buckets themselves home ...

Just say - buckets themselves, and went up the hill.Emelja let the pike in the hole, and went for a bucket.

Go buckets village people marvels and Emelja comes back, laughing ... We went into the house and buckets themselves were on the bench, and climbed Emelya on the stove.

It took a lot of you, you never know the time - the bride say to him:

- Emelja that you're lying? I went to cut down wood.

- Reluctance.

- Do not cut wood, the brothers from the market gate, do not you bring goodies.

Emel reluctant to get off the oven. He remembered about pike and quietly says:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

I suppose, an ax, pinned wood and wood - do Go to the hut and into the oven on luggage ...

The ax jumped out from under the bench - and in the yard, and let's chop wood, and the wood themselves in the house and go into the oven climb.

Much or how little time has passed - daughter again, saying:

- Emelya wood we no longer have. Take a trip to the forest to chop.

And he named the stove:

- Yes, what do you say to that?

- How do we that? .. Is it our business to the forest for firewood to go?

- I feel like ...

- Well, would not you gifts.

Nothing to do. Tears Emelya from the oven, put on his boots and dressed. He took a rope and an ax, went outside and sat in the sleigh:

- Baby, it pours!

Sister in law said to him:

- What are you, a fool, got into the sleigh, and the horse harnessed?

- Do not give me the horse.

Daughter-opened the gates, and Emelya said under his breath:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

Turn, and sleigh in the woods ...

Sani themselves and went to the gate so quickly - on a horse did not catch up.

And in the forest something had to go through the city, and then he squeezed a lot of people, stifled. The people shouted, "Get him! Catch him!" And he know sledge chases. He came into the forest:

- According to Pike, As I desire -

ax to chop firewood drier, and you, firewood themselves valites the sledge themselves vyazhites ... |

The ax began to chop, chop firewood and firewood themselves into the sleigh and tumbled rope tally. Then Emelja ordered the ax to cut down the club itself - such violence to raise. He sat on the cart:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

ride, sled, home ...

Sani rushed home. Again Emelja passing by the city, where he had squeezed, crushed a lot of people, and there he was waiting too. Emelya caught hold and drag with a cart, abused and beaten.

He knows that a bad deal, and slowly:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

Come on, stick, broken their hips ...

Baton jumped - and let's bash. People ran away, and Emelya came home and climbed up on the stove.

Long or short it - the king heard about the antics Emelin and sends him an officer: to find him and bring him to the palace.

Officers came to the village is included in the hut, Where Emelja lives, and asks:

- You - fool Emelja?

And he was with the stove:

- And you what?

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

- And I feel like ...

Angry officer and hit him on the cheek.

And Emelya said under his breath:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

The baton, broke off his hips ...

Baton jumped - and began to beat the officer, he hardly took the legs.

The king was surprised that his officers could not cope with Emel and sends his very great noble:

- Bring me the palace fool Emelya, and then take off his head from his shoulders.

The great noble bought raisins, prunes, carrots, came to the village, entered the house and began to ask the daughters he loves Emelya.

- Our Emelja like to be asked so sweetly red caftan promises - then he will do what you ask.

The great noble gave Emel raisins, prunes, carrots and says:

- Emelya, Emelya that you lie on the stove? Let's go to the king.

- And then I warm ...

- Emelya, Emelya, the king you will be well-fed water - please go.

- And I feel like ...

- Emelya, Emelya, the king will give you a red coat, hat and boots.

Emelja thought and thought:

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

Went noble and Emelya lay still and said:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

Come on, Oven, go to the king ...

Here in the house corners cracked, the roof staggered, taken off the wall and the stove itself went down the street, on the road, straight to the king.

King looking out the window, marvels:

- Is that a miracle?

The great noble answered him:

- This Emelya on the stove goes to you.

Out on the porch of the king:

- Something Emelya on you a lot of complaints! You have a lot of people suppressed.

- Why do they climbed a sled?

At this time, the window looked at him a king's daughter - Princess Maria. Emelya saw her in the window and said quietly:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

let the king's daughter fall in love with me ...

And he said:

- Go, oven, home ...

Stove turned around and went home, went into the house and started in its place. Emelya lay-lie down again.

But the king in the palace shouting yes tears.Princess Maria of Emel bored, can not live without him, asking his father gave it to her Yemelya married. Here he zabedoval the king, and said again zatuzhil great noble;

- Go bring me Yemelya dead or alive, and then take off his head from his shoulders.

The great noble bought sweet wines so different snacks, went to the village, entered the house and began to regale Emelya.

Emelja drank, ate, drunk and went to bed.

Grandee put it in the cart and drove to the king. The king immediately ordered be pushed to a large barrel with iron hoops. It put Yemelya and Princess Marya, tarred barrel and thrown into the sea. Long or short it - woke Emelja; spots - dark, closely:

- Where am I?

And he answered:

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

- And who are you?

- I - Princess Maria.

Emelja says:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

violent winds, roll out the barrel on the dry shore, on the yellow sand ...

Winds blew wild. The troubled sea, on dry cask thrown ashore on the yellow sand. Emelya and Princess Maria went out of her.

- Emelyushka where are we going to live? Build what neither is the hut.

- And I feel like ...

Then she became even louder his request and he says:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

rds stone palace with a golden roof ...

But he said - there was a stone palace with a golden roof. Circle - Green Garden: flowers blooming and birds singing.

Princess Maria with Emel entered the palace, sat down at the little window.

- Emelyushka, and you can not be handsome?

Here Emelja long thought:

- According to Pike,
As I desire -

be my good fellow, writing handsome ...

And there was Emelja so that no tale to tell, nor pen describe.

And at that time the king went to hunt and sees - is the palace, where before there was nothing.

- What is that ignorant without my permission to put my land Palace?

And I sent to know, ask, who are you?

Ambassadors run began at the window asked.

Emelja their answers:

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

The king came to visit him. Emelja it encounters leads to the palace, planting at the table. They begin to feast. The king eats, drinks and Hanadiv:

- Who are you, my good fellow?

- Do you remember Fool Emelya - both come to you on the stove, and you had him with her daughter in a barrel of tar, throw into the sea? I - the one Emelya. I want to - all your kingdom and destroy pozhgu.

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

- Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but do not ruin me!

Then they held a feast for the whole world. Emelja married Princess Mary, and became the ruler of a kingdom.

There is a fairy tale ending, and who listened to - well done!
