Sister Alyonushka and brother Ivanushka

Once upon a time an old man so old, they had a daughter Alyonushka yes son Ivan.

The old man with the old woman died. Alenka let Ivan remained alone-quite alone.

Alyonushka went to work and took her brother with him. They go the far way, on a wide field, and wanted to drink Ivanushka.

- Sister Alyonushka, I am thirsty!

- Hold on, brother, we reach the well.

They walked and walked - the sun is high, well away, pesters the heat, the sweat appears. It is necessary to cow's hoof is full of a little water.

- Sister Alyonushka, bread I of hooves!

- Do not drink, brother, telenochkom become!

The brother obeyed, went further.

The sun is high, well away, pesters the heat, the sweat appears. Should a horse's hoof is full of a little water.

- Sister Alyonushka, I get drunk from the hoof!

- Do not drink, brother, zherebenochkom become!

Ivan sighed again went on.

The sun is high, well away, pesters the heat, the sweat appears. It should be full of goat hoof little water.

Ivan says:

- Sister Alyonushka, urine is not: I will drink of the hoof!

- Do not drink, little brother, become a kid!

I do not listen Ivan and drank goat's hoof.

I got drunk and became a kid ...

Calling Alyonushka brother but instead Ivanushka flees her little white the kid.

Alyonushka burst into tears and sat under Stozhok - crying, and the kid next to her jumps.

At that time I went by the merchant:

- What the red girl, crying?

Alyonushka told him about his trouble.

The merchant said to her:

- Come marry me. I dressed you in gold, silver, and the kid will live with us.

Alyonushka thought and thought, and went for a merchant married.

They lived happily ever after, and with them the kid lives, eats, drinks with Alyonushka out of the same cup.

Once the merchant was not at home. From nowhere, comes a witch: Alenushkiny become a window and so it is affectionately began to call her to bathe in the river.

Led witch Alionushka the river. I gave her, tied at the neck Alyonushka stone and threw it into the water.

And she revs Alenushka, dressed in her dress, and came to her mansion. No witch did not recognize. The merchant returned - and he did not recognize.

One kozlёnochku it was conducted. He hung his head, does not drink, does not eat. Morning and evening walks along the river bank near the water and calling:

- Alyonushka, my sister! .. Vyplyn, vyplyn to the shore ...

I learn about this witch and began to ask her husband - yes slaughter slaughter a kid ...

Merchant was sorry for the kid, he got used to it. And so the witch stick, so begs - do nothing, the merchant has agreed to:

- Well, slaughter it ...

She told the witch decomposed fires high, heat the cast iron boilers, sharpen knives damask.

The kid visit that he long to live, and says the name of the father:

- Before his death, let me go to the river to go, drink water and rinse kishochki.

- Well, go.

Kozlёnochek ran to the river, stood on the shore and shouted zhalobnehonko:

- Alyonushka, my sister! Vyplyn, vyplyn to the shore. The fires are burning high, Boilers boil iron, Knives sharpened, want to slaughter me!

Alyonushka out of the river answers:

- Oh, my brother Ivan! Heavy stone on the bottom pulls Shelkova grass legs confused, yellow sand lay on his chest.

A witch is looking for the kid, he can not find, and sends a servant:

- Go find a kid, bring him to me.

I went to the servant of the river and saw the kid running along the beach and calls zhalobnehonko:

- Alyonushka, my sister! Vyplyn, vyplyn to the shore. The fires are burning high, Boilers boil iron, Knives sharpened, want to slaughter me!

A river of his answer:

- Oh, my brother Ivan! Heavy stone on the bottom pulls Shelkova grass legs confused, yellow sand lay on his chest.

The servant ran home and told the merchant about what he had heard on the river. They collected the people, went to the river, thrown silk network Alionushka and dragged ashore. They took the stone from her neck, dipped it in spring water, put it in elegant dress. Alyonushka revived and became more beautiful than before.

And the kid joy three times spilled over his head and turned the boy Ivanushka.

Witch tied to a horse's tail and started up in the open field.
