Lines-thieves
There has gone the grandfather to plough a field. Also took with itself for a dinner a flat cake. Has put a flat cake on a cart, and itself ploughs.
Ploughed, ploughed, it was exhausted, has gone to a cart, - with a flat cake to be supported.
Comes, and here at it from under a nose has seized lines a flat cake and has run in a bog.
The grandfather on line - and with a whip behind it has become angry. Has run up to a bog, lo and behold - lines in an abyss has failed. The grandfather in a temper too there - !
Has got on an abyss bottom, lo and behold - and there the big palace and it is full in it of devils.
The grandfather who from devils has pulled down at him a flat cake began to look narrowly. Yes unless you learn: after all all devils of one wool.
- Who at you here ? - The grandfather asks devils.
- Yes, - speak, - at a table sits. The grandfather has approached to it.
- And so, - tells about the insult, - you of lines has stolen at me a flat cake. And at me another is not present. Conducted to return.
speaks:
- Search at the young: old in it to be engaged not begin.
The grandfather has approached to a heap of young imps:
- And well, open mouths! Have opened mouths imps. The grandfather has looked and has seen at one of them in a mouth a flat cake.
- Here it, my flat cake! - the grandfather speaks.
Has stamped on the imp:
- You what for at the grandfather have stolen a flat cake? The grandfather - the person poor, and you at it steal. If so take away it, the grandfather, to itself, start up it will serve to you for your loss.
The grandfather has scratched a nape:
- Where to me it to take? To me and most is there is nothing. And work for it is not present.
- Anything, - speaks , - he to itself(himself) will find work.
The grandfather has agreed and took young line. “Perhaps - thinks, - though to wood behind fire wood when will go”.
Has resulted it home. They have got with .
Lines speaks:
- Give I will grind.
- Yes to us and such a little to grind not difficultly.

They have given to it . The beginnings of lines to grind. The woman already and bread , and in flour millstones full. Began with to pour the grandfather a flour in a granary. A full granary filled …
The grandfather line praises:
- Here it is the worker!
There has gone the grandfather with a field to plough. Lines speaks to the grandfather:
- Harness me in a plough instead of a horse. The grandfather line in a plough has harnessed. That has turned there-here and all field has ploughed.
- What we will do now? - Asks lines the grandfather.
- The earths at me are not present more, - the grandfather speaks.
- So give we take from the sir : we will cut down yes we will sow wheat.
Well and have made. Lines for a day all has cut down, , has ploughed also wheat has sown.
The good has grown wheat. Has compressed lines wheat, has connected it in sheaves, has combined in shocks, and have started to divide: to the sir half - for the earth and to the grandfather half - for grain yes for work.
Speaks lines to the grandfather:
- Be persuaded with the sir so: to it a cart, and to us an armful.
The grandfather and has told to the sir. The greedy sir thinks:
“It is good: a cart not an armful. I will deceive the grandfather!”
The grandfather to the sir has imposed wheat cart.
- Now take away the armful, - the sir speaks to the grandfather.
- Yes start up my assistant will take away - I am already old, not to inform me.
- Well, start up the assistant takes.
Has twirled lines across the field, has collected all sheaves in a heap, them and home has dragged. The sir only eyes claps …
At home died lines on wheat - it all and it was thrashed. The grandfather has filled full granaries with grain.
- And now, - speaks lines to the grandfather, - give a horse, I behind fire wood will go.
The grandfather of a horse has harnessed. Lines of villages also has gone. In wood without an axe and a saw it with roots has pulled out the thickest trees, has imposed a cart nearly to the sky, itself from above has taken seat and has given smacking kiss on a horse. The fad has sniffed and has rushed off, not assorting a way, - on a virgin soil, on bushes, on a windbreak.
The sir on road goes on . splendidly: such the fad, and drags the cart of fire wood loaded nearly to the sky! And it hardly empty carriage drags.
- Hey, - the sir to the driver shouts, - allow to vary: take away mine , and to me give the.
- Give.
Has given lines to the sir the jade, took from it - only it and saw. Comes home:
- Accept, the grandfather, horses!
At the grandfather from surprise and the tube from a mouth has dropped out.
- Where you them took?
- Has exchanged on your fad!
- Yes at me after all for them and hay is not present …
- Anything, there will be a hay.
Has jumped off lines from a cart, has turned back the farm laborer and has gone to the sir.
- Whether and there is at you, the sir, no job? - Asks lines-farm laborers.
- Is, - the sir speaks: - the drying house is full.
Has gone lines to a drying house. Has spread out all sheaves on a current, and then as died, all at once and was thrashed: straw separately, grain separately, chaff separately lays.
The sir has looked - is purely thrashed!
- What to you to pay for such work? ' - Yes anything. Give, if it is not a pity, hay an armful. The sir that such cheap worker has got was delighted.
- - speaks, - the stack at small river costs. Type to itself there a hay armful.
Has gone lines, has wound a stack with cords and has dragged. Its salesman has seen. Has come running to the sir:
- Ah, , you have told to take hay an armful, and it has dragged the whole stack.
- Here the swindler! - the sir has become angry. - let out a pas it butting bulls, start up it will butt!
Have let out bulls, and their lines for horns and has thrown on a stack.
- Ah, ah! - the sir shouts. - set on it wild boars, let it will bite!
Have let out wild boars. And lines and them for ears - yes on a stack.
Also has dragged all to the grandfather.
Has served lines year and speaks to the grandfather:
- Well, the grandfather, can, I to you for a flat cake have already fulfilled?
- Moreover as! - the grandfather laughs.
- So send me home.
- Go to itself, unless I you am insolent?
Has waved lines a tail and has rushed off in the bog.
