FINIST - Bright Falcon

Once upon a peasant. Died his wife, left three daughters. The old man wanted to hire a worker - to help on the farm. But smaller daughter Maryushka, said:

- No, sir, to hire a worker, I myself will keep farming.

Okay. Became daughter Maryushka farming news.After all, she knows all she had something goes wrong.He loved his father Maryushka: was glad that this clever but hard-working daughter is growing. From the self-Maryushka beautiful writings. And her sister zaviduschie zhadnyuschie yes, something of themselves they are ugly, and ladies-peremodnitsy - the whole day sitting belyatsya yes, yes rosy, but in new clothes dress up, dress them - no dresses, boots - no boots, a scarf - not scarf.

I went to the market and the father asks subsidiaries:

- What are you, daughter, to buy than to please?

And they say the older and middle daughter:

- Buy on the shawl, but such that the flowers larger, gold-painted.

A Maryushka is so silent. He asks her father:

- What do you, my daughter, buy?

- Buy me, father, feather Finist - clear falcon.

Come father brings daughters shawl and feathers found.

I went father a second time to the market.

- Well, - he says - a daughter, order gifts.

Rejoiced senior and middle daughter:

- Buy us boots with silver horseshoes.

And again Maryushka orders;

- Buy me, father, feather Finist - clear falcon.

Father walked all day, bought boots and a feather found. I came without feathers.

Okay. Went to the old man for the third time on the market, and the senior and middle daughter say:

- Buy us the dress.

A Maryushka again requests;

- Father, buy feather Finist - clear falcon.

Father walked all day and have not found a feather.Out of the city and meet an old old man:

- Hello, Grandpa!

- Hello dear! Where the path-way squeeze?

- By itself, the grandfather in the village. Yes, that's my mountain: smaller daughter punished buy feather Finist - clear falcon, but I have not found.

- Do I have a feather, but it is cherished; but a good man, all right, I will give.

Grandpa took out a feather and supplies, and it is the most ordinary. He goes farmer and thinks, "What's in it Maryushka found good?"

He brought gifts old daughters, the eldest and the middle of the dress so Maryushka laugh:

- As you were a fool, so it is. Wearing a feather in his hair, so beautiful!

Maryushka said nothing, walked away, and when sleep se perished, threw Maryushka feather on the floor and said:

- Courtesy Finist - Bright Falcon, come forth to me, the wait my fiance!

And it was done indescribable beauty. By the morning of fellow I hit the floor and there was a falcon.Maryushka he opened the window, and the falcon flew into the blue sky.

Three days Maryushka privechala to his fellow; day he flies a falcon on the blue skies and the night arrives to Maryushka done good fellow.

On the fourth day the evil sister noticed - have told his father's sister.

- Dear daughter, - says the father, - look for a better!

"Okay - I think sisters - let's see what will happen next."

They stumble into the frame of sharp knives, and themselves lurk, watching. That flies Bright Falcon. He flew to the window and could not get into the room Maryushka. I beat, beat, cut up the entire chest and Maryushka asleep and did not hear. Then said the hawk:

- Who needs me, he will find me. But it will not be easy. Then find me, when three iron shoes wear out, three staves broken iron, three iron caps tear.

Maryushka hear it, jumped out of bed, I looked out the window and there is a falcon, and only a trail of blood left on the window. Maryushka wept bitter tears - tears washed away the trail of blood and became even more beautiful.

She went to her father and said:

- Do not scold me, Father, forgive on their way later on. Alive will - we meet again, I die - so know destined.

It was a pity to let go of his beloved father's daughter, but let go.

Maryushka ordered three iron boots, three iron staves, three iron caps and went on their way far, look for the desired Finist - clear falcon. She walked clean the field, there was a dark forest, high mountains. Birds cheerful songs her heart gladdened, Brooks face white wash, dark woods privechali. And no one could touch Maryushka; gray wolves, bears, foxes - all the animals came running toward her. She wear iron shoes, broken rod of iron and iron cap broke.

And Maryushka out into the clearing and saw standing hut on chicken legs - revolves. Says Maryushka:

- Hut, hut, stand back to the woods, to me before! I climb into you, eat bread.

She turned back to the hut to the forest, to Maryushka forward. Maryushka I went into the hut and saw sitting there Baba Yaga - bone foot, feet from corner to corner, the lips on the bed and nose-to-ceiling rooted.

I saw Baba Yaga Maryushka, rustled:

- Ugh, ugh, Russian spirit smells! Red girl, trying to deal by al Lytaev business?

- Oh beautiful for a long time you look! Your Bright Falcon to distant lands in the state of Far Far Away.Opoila his potion queen-sorceress and zhenila myself.But I'll help you. Here's a silver saucer and golden egg.When you come into the kingdom of Far Far Away, hiring a worker for the tsarina. Having finished work - take a saucer, put the golden egg, it shall ride. Will buy - not sell. Asks Finist - clear falcon see.

Maryushka thanked Baba Yaga and went. Darkened forest, frightened Maryushka afraid and step, and towards the cat. He jumped to Maryushka and purred:

- Do not be afraid, Maryushka, go ahead. It will be even worse, and you come and go, do not look back.

Loss of a cat back and was gone, and Maryushka went on. A forest was still dark.

There was, there was Maryushka, iron shoes wear, staff broken, broke cover and came to the hut on chicken legs. Around the fence, on the stakes of the skull, and the skull of each fire is burning.

Says Maryushka:

She turned back to the hut to the forest, to Maryushka forward. Maryushka I went into the hut and saw sitting there Baba Yaga - bone foot, feet from corner to corner, the lips on the bed and nose-to-ceiling rooted.

She said and was gone. I Went Maryushka and the forest became darker. During her feet touches, with the hoses have enough ... There Maryushka, goes back and not look back.

Long or short it was - wear shoes iron, iron staff broken, the iron cap broke. I came out into the clearing, and clearing a hut on chicken legs, around the fence, and the stakes horse skull; Each skull fire burning.

Says Maryushka:

Villages Maryushka on the gray wolf, and only it and see. Ahead steppe wide, velvet meadows, rivers of honey, and honey coast, the mountains in the clouds abut. A Maryushka skips and jumps. And before Maryushka crystal tower. Porch carved, figured the little window, and the Queen looked in the window.

- Well, - said the wolf - Come on down, Maryushka go and hires workers.

Maryushka dismounted, took the bundle, thanked the wolf and went to Crystal Palace. Maryushka bowed to the queen and said:

- I do not know how you call, how to dignify, not whether you need to be an employee?

The queen answered:

For a long time I'm looking for a worker, but one that could spin, weave, embroider.

- All I can do.

- Then Come and sit down to work.

And it became Maryushka worker. Day work and night falls - will Maryushka silver platter golden egg and says:

- Scram, scram, golden egg on a silver platter, show me my dear.

Rolled egg on a silver platter, and brought Finist - Bright Falcon. She looks at him and tears filled Maryushka:

Overheard queen of her words and says:

All agreed that the wife Finist - clear falcon - Maryushka.

And they began to live happily ever after. Let's go to the state, the feast gathered in the pipe blew, in the heat of the gun, and was a feast that is now remembered.
