That on light does not happen
There lived-was the barin who is rich-prebogatyj. He where the money to put did not know. Ate-drank it is sweet, put on elegantly, visitors at it every day was so much, that at others on holidays of that did not happen. And all at it money did not decrease, still arrived.
Also it wanted to the barin to joke time of the muzhik-fool, and visitors on a fun.
He calls the poor muzhik from village and speaks to it:
- Listen, the muzhik. I will give to you of money whole , only tell to me that on light does not happen. Now people have reached all: and by line go, and on the sky fly, and in Peter on a wire bast shoes to send it is possible. Tell: that on light does not happen?
The muzhik has scratched a nape.
- I do not know, - speaks, - the barin, seem, all on light happens. Give to term to tomorrow - can, and I will take in head.
- Well, go, think, - the barin speaks, - and tomorrow come, the answer bring.
The muzhik to cocks did not sleep, all a lordly riddle guessed. Will change mind, and whether it is not enough of that on light happens, and and that in mind will come: “Perhaps it also happens, only I do not know. Well it is fine, I will tell at random, perhaps that does not happen!”
For other day it has come to the barin.
- Well, the muzhik, now you know, that on light does not happen?
- One, the barin, does not happen: nobody girds with an axe, feet for will not stop up.
The barin has grinned, visitors have grinned; see - the muzhik of sulfurs, yes at it not the wolf has eaten mind. It is necessary to measure. Yes the barin not money has regretted that, not that wished to joke of the muzhik who knows it, only and speaks to the muzhik:
- Has found, the brother what to tell. At us originally it do not do, and in another's earths - so pretty often. Go good luck to tomorrow. You will think up - the answer bring.
The muzhik and has thought over other night. That will decide, all hope bad on lordly money. “Germans, - at them are artful, can, all happens. Well I will tell still something!”
Comes next morning to the barin.
- Well, the muzhik, whether all on light happens?
- Not everything, the barin: the woman the priest does not happen, the red maid of a mass does not serve.
Everything have grinned, only the barin again has not given money to it.
- No, - speaks, is happens; on and all so. , think last time. You will tell - take money, and that do not become angry.
The muzhik, home has spat from disappointment, thinks: “It is visible, to one only not to happen that at me money was!”
All the same in night again goes to the barin. “, - thinks, - to it of stuff; can, as will be”.
- Well, what the pretty you will tell? - The barin asks. - whether has learnt, that on light does not happen?
- Everything, the barin, happens, - the muzhik speaks. - I thought, that people though on the sky do not get, and here itself has visited, now has believed, as it happens.
- How you on the sky have got?
- The dead woman the wife to visit punished also to a supply for me has sent: two cranes . Has seen it, with children and to your favour it was turned back.
- And back with cranes?
- No, back I have come off.
- How you, , were not killed?
- And so, that completely in the earth , the earth is not rigid has got.
- Of the earth as has got out?
- … as! And descended home, has brought a shovel, it was dug out and has got out.
- Whether you saw in the sky of the late barin, my parent?
- As, saw, to the handle to admit have desired.
- Well, what it there does? - The barin interrogates.
The muzhik, not be bad, has guessed and speaks:
- What does the late barin do? Yes after my children washes.
- You say lies, the muzhik-fool! - the barin has cried. - that on light does not happen, that the barin at the lackey was nursed! Take money yes sweep rubbish!
