About Emelya and the pike.

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, not wanting to know anything.

Once 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, they won’t bring you presents.

OK.

Emel 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 put them down, and he himself looks into the hole. And I saw Emelya in the hole in the pike. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:

Here the ear will be sweet!

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

And Emelya laughs:

What will you be useful to me for? .. No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll order my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup. The ear will be sweet.

The pike pleaded again:

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

Okay, just show first that you are not deceiving me, then I will 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 would not spill ...

The pike tells him:

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

"According to the pike command,
At my will."

Emelya says:

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Go, buckets, go home yourself ...


He just said - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went for the buckets.

Buckets go through the village, people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckles ... The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.

How much time has passed, how little time - the daughters-in-law say to him:

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

Reluctance...

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

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

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Go, axe, chop wood, and 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 firewood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and climbs into the oven.

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

Emelya, we have no more firewood. Go to the forest, chop.

And he told them from the stove:

What are you up to?

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

I'm reluctant...

Well, there will be no gifts for you.

Nothing to do. Emel's tears from the stove, put on shoes, got dressed. I took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and sat in a sleigh:

Dads, open the gate!

His bridesmaids say to him:

Why, you fool, got into the sleigh, but didn’t harness the horse?

I don't need a horse.

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

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Go, sleigh, into the forest...

The sledge itself went to the gate, and so quickly - it was impossible to catch up on a horse.

And I had to go to the forest through the city, and then he crushed a lot of people, suppressed them. The people shout: "Hold him! Catch him!" And he, you know, drives the sleigh. Came to the forest

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Ax, chop dry firewood, and you, firewood, yourself fall into the sleigh, knit yourself ...

The ax began to chop, chop dry firewood, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and knitted with a rope. Then Emelya ordered the ax to knock out a club for himself - such that he could hardly lift it. Sat on the cart:

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Ride, sleigh, home...

The sleigh raced home. Again Emelya is passing through the city where just now he crushed, crushed a lot of people, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and dragged her from the cart, scolded and beat her.

He sees that things are bad, and slowly:

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Come on, club, break off their sides ...

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

How long, how short - the tsar heard about Emelin's tricks and sends 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 is from the stove:

And what do you need?

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

And I don't feel like...

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

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Club, break off his sides...

The club jumped out - and let's beat the officer, he took his legs by force.

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

Bring the fool Emelya to me in the palace, otherwise I will take off my head from my shoulders.

He bought the largest nobleman raisins, prunes, gingerbread, arrived in that village, entered that hut and began to ask his daughter-in-law what Emelya loved.

Our Emelya loves to be kindly asked and promised a red caftan - then he will do whatever you ask.

The greatest nobleman gave Emela raisins, prunes, 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 drink - please, let's go.

And 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 you.

The nobleman left, and Emelya lay still and said:

By pike command,
According to my wish -

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

Here in the hut the corners cracked, the roof shook, the wall flew out, and the furnace itself went along the street, along the road, straight to the king.

The king looks out the window, marvels:

What is this miracle?

The greatest nobleman answers him:

And this is Emelya on the stove going to you.

The king came out onto the porch:

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

And why did they climb under the sled?

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

According to my wish -

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 stood in its original place. Emelya is lying down again.

And the king in the palace screams and tears. Princess Marya misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya. Then the tsar got into trouble, agonized and said again to the greatest nobleman:

Go, bring Emelya to me, alive or dead, or I'll take my head off my shoulders.

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

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

The king immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled up. They put Emelya and Marya Tsarevna in it, pitched it and threw the barrel into the sea.

How long, how short - Emelya woke up, he sees - it's dark, crowded:

Where am I?

And they answer him:

Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! They pitched us into a barrel, threw us into the blue sea.

And who are you?

I am Princess Mary.

Emelya says:

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Violent winds, roll the barrel onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand...

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

Emelyushka, where are we going to live? Build any kind of hut.

- I don't feel like...

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

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Line up, stone palace with a golden roof...

As soon as he said, a stone palace with a golden roof appeared. Around - a green garden: flowers bloom and birds sing. Marya Tsarevna and Emelya entered the palace and sat down by the little window.

Emelyushka, can't you become handsome?

Here Emelya thought for a while:

By pike command,
According to my wish -

Become a good young man, a written handsome man ...

And Emelya became such that neither in a fairy tale can be said, nor described with a pen.

And at that time the king went hunting and sees - there is a palace where there was nothing before.

What kind of ignoramus has set up a palace on my land without my permission?

And he sent to ask: "Who are they?" The ambassadors ran, stood under the window, asking questions.

Emelya answers them:

Ask the king to visit me, I will tell him myself.

The king came to visit him. Emelya meets him, leads him to the palace, puts him at the table. They start drinking. 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 pitched into a barrel, 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, began to ask for forgiveness:

Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but don't ruin me!

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

Here the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened - well done.

In one village there lived an old man. He had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya.

The older brothers work, but Emelya lies on the stove all day and does nothing.

One day the brothers left for 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, they won’t bring you presents.

OK.

Emel 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 put them down, and he himself looks into the hole. And I saw Emelya in the hole in the pike. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:

Here the ear will be sweet!

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

And Emelya laughs:

What will you use me for? No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll tell my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup. The ear will be sweet. The pike pleaded again:

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

Okay, just show first that you are not deceiving me, then I will 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 would not spill ...

The pike tells him:

Remember my words: when you want something - just say: "By the command of the pike, according to my desire."

Emelya says:

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

He just said - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went for the buckets. Buckets go through the village, the people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckles ...

The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.

How much time has passed, how little time - the daughters-in-law say to him:

Emelya, we have no more firewood. Go to the forest, chop.

And he told them from the stove:

What are you up to?

What are we doing?.. Is it really our job to go to the forest for firewood?

I don't feel like...

Well, there will be no gifts for you.

Nothing to do. Emel's tears from the stove, put on shoes, got dressed. I took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and got into a sleigh:

And I had to go to the forest through the city, and then he crushed a lot of people, suppressed them. The people are shouting: “Hold him! Catch him! ”, And he knows the sleigh drives. Came to the forest

At the command of the pike, at my desire - an ax, chop dry firewood, and you, firewood, yourself fall into the sleigh, knit yourself ...

The ax began to chop, chop dry wood, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and knitted with a rope. Then Emelya ordered the ax to knock out a club for himself - such that he could hardly lift it. Sat on the cart:

And Emelya says quietly:

At the command of the pike, at my will - a baton, break off his sides ...

The club jumped out - and let's beat the officer, he took his legs by force. The tsar was surprised that his officer could not cope with Emelya, and sends the greatest nobleman himself:

Bring the fool Emelya to me in the palace, otherwise I will take off my head from my shoulders. He bought the largest nobleman raisins, prunes, gingerbread, arrived in that village, entered that hut and began to ask his daughter-in-law what Emelya loved.

Emel's tears from the stove, dressed, put on shoes, took buckets, an ax and went to the river.

He cut through the ice, scooped up buckets and put them down, and he himself looks into the hole.

And I saw Emelya in the hole in the pike. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hands:

- That will be a glorious ear!

- Let me go, Emelya, into the water, I'll still be useful to you.

And Emelya laughs:

“But what will you be useful to me for? .. No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll order my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup.” The ear will be sweet, tasty.

The pike pleaded:

- Let me go, Emelya, into the water, I will do everything you want.

“Okay, just show first that you won’t deceive me, then I’ll let you go.”

Pike asks:

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

- I want the buckets to go home by themselves and the water would not spill ...

Pike him and says:

- Mark my words: when you want something - just say:

By pike command,

According to my wish...

Emelya says:

- By pike command,

According to my wish -

Go, buckets, go home yourself ...

Only Emelya said these words - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emelya released the pike into the hole and went home.

Buckets go through the village, people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckles ... The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.

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

“Baby, open the gate!”

His bridesmaids say to him:

“Why, you fool, got into the sleigh, but didn’t harness the horse?”

I don't need a horse!

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

- By pike command,

According to my wish -

Go, sleigh, into the forest yourself ...

The sleigh drove off on its own, so fast that it was impossible to catch up on a horse.

And I had to go to the forest through the city, and then he crushed a lot of people, suppressed them. The people are shouting: “Hold him! Catch him! And he, you know, drives the sleigh.

Came to the forest and says:

The ax began to chop dry firewood, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and knitted with a rope. Then Emelya ordered the ax to cut out a club for himself - such that he could hardly lift it. Emelya sat on the cart and said:

- By pike command,

According to my wish -

Ride, sleigh, home...

The sleigh raced home. Emelya again passes through the city, where he recently crushed a lot of people, and there they are already waiting for him. They seized Emelya, dragged her from the cart, scolded and beat her.

He sees that things are bad, and he says quietly:

- By pike command,

According to my wish -

Come on, club, break off their sides ...

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

How much, how little time has passed - the tsar heard about Emelin's tricks and sends an officer after him: to find 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 says from the stove:

- And what do you need?

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

- I don't feel like...

The officer got angry and wanted to hit Emelya. And Emelya quietly says:

- By pike command,

According to my wish -

Club, club, break off his sides...

The baton jumped out and let's beat the officer, he took his legs by force.

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

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

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

- Our Emelya loves when he is kindly asked and promised a red caftan - then he will do everything that you ask.

The nobleman gave Emelya prunes, raisins, gingerbread and said:

- Emelya, and Emelya, why are you lying on the stove? Let's go to the king.

And Emelya answers him:

- What for? I'm warm here too.

- Emelya, and Emelya, the tsar will feed you, give you water - let's go, please.

- I don't feel like...

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

Emelya thought and thought and said:

And the nobleman answers him:

- This is for you, Emelya, on the stove rides.

The king came out onto the porch and said:

- There are a lot of complaints about you Emelya! You crushed a lot of people.

- Why did they climb under the sled?

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

According to my wish -

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 stood in its original place. Emelya is lying down again.

And the king in the palace is in turmoil, screaming and tears. Princess Marya misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya. Here the tsar was in charge, he agonized and said again to the nobleman:

“Go, bring Emelya to me, dead or alive, or I’ll take my head off my shoulders.”

The nobleman bought various sweets and went to Emelya. He fed and watered Emelya, he got tipsy and went to bed. And the nobleman put him in a wagon and took him to the king.

The king immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled up. They put Emelya and Marya Tsarevna in it, pitched a barrel and threw it into the sea.

How long, how short - Emelya woke up, he sees - it's dark, crowded:

"Where am I?"

And they answer him:

- Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! They pitched us into a barrel, threw us into the blue sea.

- And who are you?

- I am Princess Mary.

Emelya says:

Violent winds, roll the barrel onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand...

Violent winds blew, the sea stirred. The barrel was thrown onto the dry shore, on the yellow sand. Emelya and Marya the princess came out of it.

- Emelyushka, where are we going to live? Build us some kind of hut.

- I don't feel like...

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

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

Here the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened - well done!

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, not wanting to know anything. Once 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, they will not bring you presents.
- OK.
Emel 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 put them down, and he himself looks into the hole. And I saw Emelya in the hole in the pike.
He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:
- Here the ear will be sweet!
Suddenly the pike says to him in a human voice:
- Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll be useful to you.
And Emelya laughs:
- What will you use me for? No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll tell my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup. The ear will be sweet.
The pike pleaded again:
- Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I will do anything you want.
- Okay, just show first that you are not deceiving me, then I will let you go.
Pike asks him:
- Emelya, Emelya, tell me - what do you want now?
- I want the buckets to go home by themselves and the water would not spill ...
The pike tells him:
- Mark my words: when you want something - just say:

According to my desire.
Emelya says:

According to my wish -
go, buckets, go home yourself ...
He just said - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went for the buckets.
Buckets go through the village, people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckling ... The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.
How much time has passed, how little time has passed - the daughters-in-law say to him:
- Emelya, why are you lying? I would go and chop wood.
- Reluctance ...
“You won’t chop wood, the brothers will return from the market, they won’t bring you presents.”
Emelya is reluctant to get off the stove. He remembered the pike and slowly says:

According to my wish -
go, axe, chop wood, and 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 firewood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and climbs into the oven.
How much, how little time has passed - the daughters-in-law again say:
— Emelya, we have no more firewood. Go to the forest, chop.
And he told them from the stove:
- What are you up to?
- How 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 presents for you.
Nothing to do. Emel's tears from the stove, put on shoes, got dressed. I took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and got into a sleigh:
“Baby, open the gate!”
His bridesmaids say to him:
“Why, you fool, got into the sleigh, but didn’t harness the horse?”
I don't need a horse.
The daughters-in-law opened the gates, and Emelya said quietly:

According to my wish -
go, sleigh, into the forest ...

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

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, not wanting to know anything.

Once 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, they won’t bring you presents.

OK.

Emel 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 put them down, and he himself looks into the hole. And I saw Emelya in the hole in the pike. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:

Here the ear will be sweet!

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

And Emelya laughs:

What will you be useful to me for? .. No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll order my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup. The ear will be sweet.

The pike pleaded again:

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

Okay, just show first that you are not deceiving me, then I will 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 would not spill ...

The pike tells him:

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

"According to the command of the pike, according to my desire."

Emelya says:

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

He just said - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went for the buckets.

Buckets go through the village, people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckles ... The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.

How much time has passed, how little time - the daughters-in-law say to him:

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

Reluctance...

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

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

At the command of the pike, at my desire - go, an ax, chop wood, and 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 firewood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and climbs into the oven.

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

Emelya, we have no more firewood. Go to the forest, chop.

And he told them from the stove:

What are you up to?

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

I'm reluctant...

Well, there will be no gifts for you.

Nothing to do. Emel's tears from the stove, put on shoes, got dressed. I took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and sat in a sleigh:

Dads, open the gate!

His bridesmaids say to him:

Why, you fool, got into the sleigh, but didn’t harness the horse?

I don't need a horse.

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

At the command of the pike, at my will - go, sleigh, into the forest ...

The sledge itself went to the gate, and so quickly - it was impossible to catch up on a horse.

And I had to go to the forest through the city, and then he crushed a lot of people, suppressed them. The people shout: "Hold him! Catch him!" And he, you know, drives the sleigh. Came to the forest

At the command of the pike, at my desire - an ax, chop dry firewood, and you, firewood, yourself fall into the sleigh, knit yourself ...

The ax began to chop, chop dry firewood, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and knitted with a rope. Then Emelya ordered the ax to knock out a club for himself - such that he could hardly lift it. Sat on the cart:

At the command of the pike, at my will - go, sleigh, home ...

The sleigh raced home. Again Emelya is passing through the city where just now he crushed, crushed a lot of people, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and dragged her from the cart, scolded and beat her.

He sees that things are bad, and slowly:

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

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

How long, how short - the tsar heard about Emelin's tricks and sends 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 is from the stove:

And what do you need?

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

And I don't feel like...

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

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

The club jumped out - and let's beat the officer, he took his legs by force.

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

Bring the fool Emelya to me in the palace, otherwise I will take off my head from my shoulders.

He bought the largest nobleman raisins, prunes, gingerbread, arrived in that village, entered that hut and began to ask his daughter-in-law what Emelya loved.

Our Emelya loves to be kindly asked and promised a red caftan - then he will do whatever you ask.

The greatest nobleman gave Emela raisins, prunes, 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 drink - please, let's go.

And 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 you.

The nobleman left, and Emelya lay still and said:

At the command of the pike, according to my desire - come on, bake, go to the king ...

Here in the hut the corners cracked, the roof shook, the wall flew out, and the furnace itself went along the street, along the road, straight to the king.

The king looks out the window, marvels:

What is this miracle?

The greatest nobleman answers him:

And this is Emelya on the stove going to you.

The king came out onto the porch:

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

And why did they climb under the sled?

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

By pike command. according to my desire - let the tsar's daughter fall in love with me ...

And he also said:

Go, bake, go home...

The stove turned and went home, went into the hut and stood in its original place. Emelya is lying down again.

And the king in the palace screams and tears. Princess Marya misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya. Then the tsar got into trouble, agonized and said again to the greatest nobleman:

Go, bring Emelya to me, alive or dead, or I'll take my head off my shoulders.

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

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

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

How long, how short - Emelya woke up, he sees - it's dark, crowded:

Where am I?

And they answer him:

Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! They pitched us into a barrel, threw us into the blue sea.

And who are you?

I am Princess Mary.

Emelya says:

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

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

Emelyushka, where are we going to 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, stone palace with a golden roof ...

As soon as he said, a stone palace with a golden roof appeared. Around - a green garden: flowers bloom and birds sing. Marya Tsarevna and Emelya entered the palace and sat down by the little window.

Emelyushka, can't you become handsome?

Here Emelya thought for a while:

At the command of the pike, at my will - to become a good young man, a written handsome man ...

And Emelya became such that neither in a fairy tale can be said, nor described with a pen.

And at that time the king went hunting and sees - there is a palace where there was nothing before.

What kind of ignoramus has set up a palace on my land without my permission?

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

Emelya answers them:

Ask the king to visit me, I will tell him myself.

The king came to visit him. Emelya meets him, leads him to the palace, puts him at the table. They start drinking. 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 pitched into a barrel, 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, began to ask for forgiveness:

Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but don't ruin me!

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

Here the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened - well done.
