He lived in ancient times the Great King. He had a single son, beautiful, like a month in the sky. And one day, when the king was sitting on the throne, three wise men entered him. One had a golden peacock, the other is a copper tube, and the third is a horse from ivory and black tree.

The wise men bowed to the king and said:

About the king, so we came up with and made these toys. Each of them has something amazing and useful. Accept them as a gift from us, your servants.

And what's useful in them? King asked.

And the first sage said:

Look, about the Lord, on this peacock. All it is made of pure gold, and his eyes are two big emerald. Each feather of his tail is decorated with a precious stone. But this is not surprising and useful in it. His benefit is that every hour he shines wings and shouts. Take it - and you will know how many hours you should pay for business, and how much - for fun and fun.

And the second sage said:

Oh king, my pipe is more useful than this peacock. Her hang on the gate of your city, and she will guard him, and when the thief will enter this city, the pipe will shove in a voice like thunder.

The thief recognize and capture. And the third sage said:

About Lord! These gifts do not stand in comparison with my horse. Have you ever seen horses flying through the air?

No, - answered the king. - This does not happen.

Acceptance from me as a gift of this horse, and you can fly on it in what kind of country you want.

After that, all three wisers bowed to the king and said:

About the king, reward us for these amazing and useful things!

I will not reward you until it is testing the usefulness of these things, "the king replied.

And the king ordered the peacock in front of him, and when she passed an hour, Peacock shook wings and shouted.

And the king ordered the pipe at the gate of the city and introduce one of the thieves entered into prison through this gate. When the thief passed under the gate, the pipe bit the voice like thunder, the thief was frightened and fell to the Earth. The king generously awarded both wise men in gold.

Then the third sage was made, the owner of the horse, and said:

About the king, the reward and me just as awarded my comrades.

At first I will experience your horse, "said the king.

At that time, the son of the king approached - and his name was Hassan - and said:

Let me sit on this horse and experience it.

Test him as you want, "answered the king.

Tsarevich sat on the horse and hit his heel, but the horse did not move from the place.

Hassan shouted:

What did you tell us about this horse, the sage? It does not move from the place!

Then the sage walked to Tsarevich and showed him a screw on the right arm of the horse.

Turn this screw, - he said.

Hasan turned the screw, and suddenly the horse walked up, rose to the clouds and flew faster than wind.

And Hassan, when he stopped seeing the Earth under him, scared and shouted:

Why did I sat down on this horse? The sage on purpose did it to destroy me!

Tsarevich again grabbed the screw on the right shoulder, and suddenly the horse rose above and flew even faster. Then Hasan began to inspect the horse and saw the same screw on his left shoulder.

He turned this screw, and the horse flew slower and began to descend ...

"Now I found a screw of a lifting and a screw of descent and see what the mystery of this horse," said Tsarevich himself. He was delighted and began to fly, then lower, then faster, then slower, as he wanted.

And then he decided to go down to the ground and descended all day, as it flew very high. He flew over the earth and looked at the countries and cities he had never seen before.

And when the sun leaned toward the sunset, Hasan was above the wonderful large city with palaces, gardens and channels.

Hasan began to circle over the city and view it from all sides, and then began to choose a place convenient for descent.

And so he saw the palace, surrounded by a strong wall with braces. This place seemed comfortable to him, he turned the shutting screw, and the horse sank right on the roof of the palace.

Hassan came down from his horse, examined him from all sides and said to himself:

The one who made this horse is really a great sage!

Hassan promoted on the roof of the palace until night came. He was tormented by hunger and thirst, because for many hours he did not eat and did not drink. And he thought: "It can not be that in such a large palace it was impossible to get food."

He walked around the whole roof, saw the staircase and descended into her courtyard paved by marble. Nowhere could have any noise and no one was visible. Suddenly Hasan saw the light and heard the voices. He hid behind the protrusion of the wall, and a crowd of slave with lamps was held past him, and among them there was a wonderful girl, named Zuumbrud, the daughter of the king of this city.

In some kingdom, in some state, there was an old man with old man, and they didn't have children in their entirety. They wondered that the alone of their ancient, it was necessary to remember them soon, and the Lord did not give the heir, and they began to pray to God to make them the brainchild on the soul. I put the old man covenant: if you give birth to the old woman, at that time who will be the first one to meet, I will take Kum. After some time, the old woman's pretty and her son bore. The old man was delighted, gathered and went to look for Kuma; only for the gate, and to meet him the stroller, the quantine hardened; In the stroller sits sits.

The old man did not know the sovereign, accepted him for Boyharin, stopped and let's go. "What do you, an old man, is needed?" - asks the sovereign. "Yes, I ask you grace, it's not to anger if it says: to scratch my newborn son." - "Al you have no one on the village of acquaintances?" "I have a lot of friends, many buddies, but it is not good to take in Kumany, because such a covenant standing: who first will meet, that and ask." - "Good," says the sovereign, - here's a hundred rubles for christening; Tomorrow I myself will be. " Another day he came to the old man; They immediately called the priest, dubbed the baby and told him the name Ivan. Began this Ivan to grow no one by years, but by the hour - as wheat dough on opair rises; And he comes to him every month by mail in Stu Rublev Tsarsky.

Ten years passed, he grew up big and worried the power of the exorbitant. At that time, the sovereign appeared about him, there is a sovereign, and what he - I do not know; I wished him personally to see and immediately sent an order to Ivan the Peasant Son, not Medalo, appeared before his eyes bright. He became an old man to collect him on the road, took out money and says: "You're a hundred rubles, go to the city on horseback, buy yourself a horse; And then the path of the far - you will not leave. " Ivan went to the city, and the old man comes across the road. "Hello, Ivan the Peasant Son! Where do you hold the way? " Responsible good well done: "I am, grandfather, in the city, I want to buy a horse for yourself." - "Well, listen to me, if you want to be happy. How will you come on horseback, there will be one peasant horse to sell firmly thin, lousy; You choose it, and how much I remember the owner from you - come on, do not trade! And how can you buy, bring it home and passe in the green meadows of twelve evenings and twelve days in Rosos - then you know her! "

Ivan thanked the old man for science and went to the city; It comes to equestrian, looking - it is a peasant and keeps loudly, a lousy horse. "Sell horse?" - "I sell." - "What do you ask?" - "Yes, without bargaining a hundred rubles." Ivan the peasant son took out a hundred rubles, he gave a man, took the horse and led to the yard. Lists home, my father looked and waved his hand: "Dissating money!" - "Wait, father! For my happiness, the horse will recover. " Ivan led his horse every morning and every evening in the green meadows in the pasture, and that's how the twelve dawn of the morning and twelve dawn of the evening went to the evening - his horse was so strong, strong yes beautiful, not to think, neither to spend, unless in a fairy tale, And so intelligent - that only Ivan is miserable on the mind, and she really knows. Then Ivan the Peasant Son culled myself to sabs the Bogatyr, saddled his kind horse, I said goodbye to my father, and I went to the metropolitan city to the king-sovereign.

He was driving closely, far, it was soon, in short, he found himself at the Palace's sovereign, jumped up, tied the henichrs horse for the ring to the oak pillar and ordered to report the king about his arrival. The king ordered him not to delay, skip to the chambers without any scope. Ivan entered the royal chambers, prayed on the holy icons, bowed to the king and walked: "I wish you, Your Majesty!" - "Hello, Cancer!" - the sovereign answered, planted him at the table, began to treat all sorts of drinks and snacks, and he watches himself: the nice well done - and the face is beautiful, and I am smart, and took the growth; No one will think that he is ten years old, every twenty will give, and even with the tail! "It is clearly visible," the king thinks, - that the Lord did not give me a simple warrior, but the strong heroes. " And he granted his king to the officer rank and told me to serve.

Ivan the peasant son took up the service with all the hunt, nor from what labor does not refuse, it is worth a breast for the truth; I loved him for the sovereign to the forest of all my generals and ministers and any of them did not trust so much as his kid. Garned on Ivan the generals and ministers and began to keep the advice, as it were, to specify it before the sovereign itself. That somehow convened the king to himself noble and close people for lunch; As everyone sat down at the table, he says: "Listen, gentlemen generals and ministers! What do you think about my kid? " - "What to say, Your Majesty! We did not see it too thin nor good; One bad thing - hurts boasting. More than once he was heard from him that in such a kingdom, for the thirty lands, a large marble palace was built, and the circle of the fence was delivered - not to get there either for anything or equestrian! In Tom Palace lives Nastasya Lovely Kingana. It's not to get it to anyone, and he, Ivan, boasts her to get her, to marry himself. "

The king listened to this reservation, ordered to call his godfather and began to tell him: "Well, you are generals and the ministers boast that you can get the Nastasya-Korolin, and I do not report anything about that?" - "Mile, Your Majesty! - Ivan the Peasant Son is responsible. "I don't even decrease in a dream." - "Now it's too late to unlock; I have praise, so do it; And you will not do - then my sword, your head with shoulders! " Ivan the peasant son was sealed, hung his head beneath the mighty shoulders and went to his good horse. He will help him with a human voice: "What, the owner, twist, and don't you tell the truth?" - "Ah, my good horse! Why should I be fun? He stated me the authorities in front of the sovereign itself, as if I could get and get married Nastasya the beautiful king. The king and told me this matter to fulfill, and it does not want to chop your head. " - "Not tillage, owner! Pray to God yes go to bed; The morning is wiser than the evening. We tearing this business; Just ask the king more money, so as not to miss us expensive, it would be plenty and eat and drink that he wants. " Ivan spent the night, stood in the morning, appeared to the sovereign and began to ask for the campaign of the golden treasury. The king ordered to give him as needed. Here is a kind well done to take the treasury, put on my horse Sberbing the Bogatyr, sat down and drove into the path of the road.

Lie, far, will soon, in short, he drove for the thirty lands, in the thirtieth kingdom, and stopped at the marble palace; The circle of the palace of the wall is high, no gate, no doors can be seen; how to hit the fence? Says Ivan his kind horse: "Let's wait until the evening! As soon as he sweems - I will swing in a sophisticated eagle and move with you through the wall. At that time, a beautiful queen will sleep on his soft bed; You will enter her right into the bedroom, take her slowly on the arms and bent boldly. " That's fine, they waited for the evenings; As soon as it was dark, the horse hit the crude land, fucked by a whitish eagle and says: "Time to do our work; Watch Do not let Mahu! " Ivan the peasant son sat on the eagle; The eagle rose to the swellings, flew over the wall and put Ivan on a wide yard.

Growing good well done in the chamber, looks - everywhere quietly, the whole servant is sleeping in deep sleep; He is in the bedroom - on the crib lies the Nastasya beautiful Royal, stood in a dream the rich covers, blankets of sobolia. The kind well done was inspired on her beauty, on her body, white, squeezed his love hot, could not stand and kissed the royal in the mouth of sugar. He was awakened by the Red Maiden and scared with fright with a loud voice; They rose to her voice, the servants came running true, caught Ivan the Peasant Son and tied his arms and legs firmly. The queen ordered him to plant him in the dungeon and give him a day on a glass of water and on a pound of black bread.

Ivan sits in a strong dungeon and thinks the Duma as an imperfect: "True, here I put my bright head!" And his good Bogatyr horse hit the semes and became a little bird, flew to him in a broken window and says: "Well, the owner, listen to: tomorrow I will break the doors and you will be ease; You hide in the garden for such a bush; There will be a wonderful major queen, and I turn the poor old man and ask her alms; Look, do not yawny, it will not be thin. " Ivan cheated, the bird flew away. The next day, the Bogatyr horse rushed to the dungeon and knocked out the door with hooves; Ivan the peasant son ran into the garden and became behind a green bush. A wonderful queen went out in the garden, only heavily against the corps - as a poor old man came up to her, bowed and asked with tears of Saint alms. While the Red Maiden took out a wallet with money, Ivan jumped out the peasant son, grabbed her in an oakha, she pushed her mouth as hard that could not be filed with a small voice. At the same moment, the old man was turned around by a sophisticated eagle, whipped with the Korolevoye and good young highly highly, flew through the fence, sank to the ground and became still a Bogatlish horse. Ivan the peasant son sat down at the horse and the Nastasya walked suited with him; He tells her: "What, a beautiful queen, now you will not forbide me in the dungeon?" The wonderful queen is responsible: "It can be seen, the fate to be yours, do with me that you know!"

Here they go through expensive; Closely, far, will soon, shortly come to a large green meadow. There are two giants on that meadow, the friendships of the fists will sweat; beaten, felt before the blood, and no other can be mastered; Near them lie on the grass of a pelvo yes. "Listen, brothers! - asks them Ivan the peasant son. - What are you doing for? " The giants stopped fighting and telling him: "We are both siblings; My father's died, and left after him, only the estates - this is a pomelo yes the keest; We began to share, and they quarreled: everyone, you wish, I want to pick up everything! Well, we decided to fight not on the belly, to death, who survive will remain - that both things will get. " - "How long have you been arguing?" - "Yes, here are three years old, as a friend of his friend, and I will not get any sense!" - "Eh you! There is because of what the mortal battle fight. Is the most corruption - database and the key? " - "Do not say, brother, what you do not know! With this label, yes with the key, at least you can win. How many troops would not put the troops, feel free to travel to meet: where they smell a larger - there will be a street, and the shine - and with a lane. And the Key is also needed: how much would you capture the troops - all in captivity will take! " - "Yes, things are good! - Ivan thinks. - Perhaps I would come in handy. Well, brothers, "says," do I want to share you equally? " - "Divided, kind man!" Ivan the peasant son tears from his boysk horse, scored a handful of fine sand, started giants into the forest and scattered that sand on everything on four sides. "Here," says, - collect sand; Who will be more, and the kernel and the pomelo will get. " The giants rushed to collect sand, and Ivan, meanwhile grabbed the key and gloomily, sat down at the horse - and remember how the name was!

How long is it briefly, he drives up to his state and sees him great Father He suffered a matter of considerable: all the kingdom was wedge, near a capital city costs, the power is unpelled, threatens all the fire, the king of the evil death to betray. Ivan the peasant son left the King Room in the Middle Locker, and he himself flew to the army; Where the darling wave - there is a street where it turns out - there with a lane! IN a short time interrupted whole hundreds, whole thousand; And that he survived from death, he hooked the key and lively a ledge into a capital city. The king met him with joy, ordered the drums to beat, in the pipes to drive and complained to the general shelter and a reasonable casseau. Here Ivan the peasant son remembered about Nastasya the wonderful queen, took over time and brought her right to the palace. His king praised his king for delets, he told him a house to cook yes wedding to protect. Ivan the peasant son was married on a beautiful royal, unscrew the wedding rich and began to live, do not rush. Here is a fairy tale, and I bagels a bunch.

He lived in ancient times the Great King. He had a single son, beautiful, like a month in the sky. And one day, when the king was sitting on the throne, three wise men entered him. One had a golden peacock, the other is a copper tube, and the third is a horse from ivory and black tree.

The wise men bowed to the king and said:

About the king, so we came up with and made these toys. Each of them has something amazing and useful. Accept them as a gift from us, your servants.

And what's useful in them? King asked.

And the first sage said:

But this is not surprising and useful in it. His benefit is that every hour he shines wings and shouts. Take it - and you will know how many hours you should pay for business, and how much - for fun and fun.

And the second sage said:

Oh king, my pipe is more useful than this peacock. Her hang on the gate of your city, and she will guard him, and when the thief will enter this city, the pipe will shove in a voice like thunder.

The thief recognize and capture. And the third sage said:

About Lord! These gifts do not stand in comparison with my horse. Have you ever seen horses flying through the air?

No, - answered the king. - This does not happen.

Acceptance from me as a gift of this horse, and you can fly on it in what kind of country you want.

After that, all three wisers bowed to the king and said:

About the king, reward us for these amazing and useful things!

I will not reward you until it is testing the usefulness of these things, "the king replied.

And the king ordered the peacock in front of him, and when she passed an hour, Peacock shook wings and shouted.

And the king ordered the pipe at the gate of the city and introduce one of the thieves entered into prison through this gate. When the thief passed under the gate, the pipe bit the voice like thunder, the thief was frightened and fell to the Earth. The king generously awarded both wise men in gold.

Then the third sage was made, the owner of the horse, and said:

About the king, the reward and me just as awarded my comrades.

At first I will experience your horse, "said the king.

At that time, the son of the king approached - and his name was Hassan - and said:

Let me sit on this horse and experience it.

Test him as you want, "answered the king.

Tsarevich sat on the horse and hit his heel, but the horse did not move from the place.

Hassan shouted:

What did you tell us about this horse, the sage? It does not move from the place!

Then the sage walked to Tsarevich and showed him a screw on the right arm of the horse.

Turn this screw, - he said.

Hasan turned the screw, and suddenly the horse walked up, rose to the clouds and flew faster than wind.

And Hassan, when he stopped seeing the Earth under him, scared and shouted:

Why did I sat down on this horse? The sage on purpose did it to destroy me!

Tsarevich again grabbed the screw on the right shoulder, and suddenly the horse rose above and flew even faster. Then Hasan began to inspect the horse and saw the same screw on his left shoulder.

He turned this screw, and the horse flew slower and began to descend ...

"Now I found a screw of a lifting and a screw of descent and see what the mystery of this horse," said Tsarevich himself. He was delighted and began to fly, then lower, then faster, then slower, as he wanted.

And then he decided to go down to the ground and descended all day, as it flew very high. He flew over the earth and looked at the countries and cities he had never seen before.

And when the sun leaned toward the sunset, Hasan was above the wonderful large city with palaces, gardens and channels.

Hasan began to circle over the city and view it from all sides, and then began to choose a place convenient for descent.

And so he saw the palace, surrounded by a strong wall with braces. This place seemed comfortable to him, he turned the shutting screw, and the horse sank right on the roof of the palace.

Hassan came down from his horse, examined him from all sides and said to himself:

The one who made this horse is really a great sage!

Hassan promoted on the roof of the palace until night came. He was tormented by hunger and thirst, because for many hours he did not eat and did not drink. And he thought: "It can not be that in such a large palace it was impossible to get food."

He walked around the whole roof, saw the staircase and descended into her courtyard paved by marble. Nowhere could have any noise and no one was visible. Suddenly Hasan saw the light and heard the voices. He hid behind the protrusion of the wall, and a crowd of slave with lamps was held past him, and among them there was a wonderful girl, named Zuumbrud, the daughter of the king of this city. The king built this palace for her so that she could play and have fun there. And it happened that she came there just this evening and entered the room with his slave. Hasan followed them and hid behind the column. The slave disseminated carpets and stirred the room with lamps, and then began to play and have fun. And he was with them the guard, a huge ebony, stuck with a sword. .

And this ebony stood up at the same column where Hasan was, hurt his shoulder and saw Tsarevich. Then Hasan rushed to the negro and hit him in the face, and then fell and pulled his sword from his hands. Sluttle in horror ran away. But Tsarevna Zuzourud was not afraid, went to Hassan and asked him:

Who are you - a man or genie? According to actions you are Ginn, but I heard that they are ugly, and you are handsome.

I am the son of the king, "Hassan replied," and I don't want to evil.

They sat on the carpet and began to talk.

And the blacks ran to the king and entered him, shouting:

Oh King, your daughter captured Ginn in the image of a person! Go and punish him!

The king was excited and hurried to the palace. Seeing Hasan, he rushed to him with a naked sword. But Hassan jumped on his feet and shouted so much on the king that he almost fell to Earth with fear. Then the king realized that Tsarevich was stronger than him, became gentle and asked:

Oh young man, are you a man or genie?

I am the son of King Persia, but not Jeans at all, "Hassan replied." And if it were not your daughter, I would kill you! How dare you call me Ginno?

If you are not Ginn, "said the king, - how did you entered the palace? Here I am cliking my slaves and servants, and they will immediately kill you.

About the king, "said Tsarevich," I am surprised at your stupidity. If your slaves and servants kill me, people will know about it, they will say that you killed the royal son, your guest, and you will dispense yourself. Better listening to you: let's fight with you alone, and it will be better if you bring our troops and armed servants to me and tell them: "This man came to me and wants to marry my daughter." And then let me fight with them, and if they kill me, you will not be a shame, and if I quit them, then you will give me a daughter's daughter in my wife and for you will be honored to have such a son-in-law for you.

The king was surprised, having heard these words, and said:

Do you know that I have forty thousand riders other than slaves and approximated?

Bring them to the square, - said Tsarevich, - and you will see what will happen.

Well, "said the king, - I will do it.

And in the morning the king gathered on the square of all his warriors in full service and told them to sit on the horses. He ordered to bring Tsarevich the best horse in a wonderful bar, but Hasan said:

I will not sit on your horse.

Then the king shouted with his troops:

Warriors! This young man wants to marry my daughter and declares that he would have overcome you, even if you had a hundred thousand. Raise him to the island of copies and swords: he took up for an unbearable business!

But Hasan said:

About king, where is your justice? How will I fight them when I hiking, and they are equal?

I gave you my best horse, and you refused, "said the king. - So you want a horses, choose what you want.

I don't like these horses, "said Hassan. - I will sit on the one that brings me here.

And where is your horse? - asked the king.

He is on the roof of your palace, - answered Tsarevich.

Mount to you! You got crazy! - shouted the king. - How can a horse be on the roof? I will now prove you that you lied.

And the king ordered the two of his approximated to go to the roof and see if there is a horse there.

And people around were surprised and spoke to each other:

How could this horse get to the roof? We never heard anything like that.

The approximate rose to the roof and saw that there is a horse, which is more beautiful in the world. It was made of black trees and ivory. They began to laugh and talk one way:

And on this horse, he will fight the troops of the king? This is probably crazy!

They raised the horse and brought him to the king, and everyone was surprised by his beauty, beautiful saddle and bridle. And the king asked Khasan:

Oh young man, this is your horse?

Yes, "Hasan replied.

Take your horse and sit on it, "said Smiling, king.

But Hasan replied:

I will sit at him when your warriors are removed from him.

And the king ordered the warriors to move away from the horse on the flight of the arrows. Then Hasan sat down at the horse, and the warriors were lined up opposite Hasan and spoke to each other:

When it is between the rows, we will take it to the island of copies and swords.

Hassan turned the screw of the lifting, and suddenly the horse was worried, clogged and began to do all the movements that horses do. The inside was filled with air, he rose and flew.

The king saw that the horse rises, and shouted his warriors:

Mount you, grab it until he flew away!

But his approximate and vizyri told him:

Who can overtake the flying bird? About the king, probably, this is a great sorcerer. Rejoice that you got rid of him.

Hassan took off to the clouds, turned his horse and sent him to the Palace of Tsarevna. And Tsarevna Zuumbrud at that time went to the roof of the palace to see what would happen to Hassan. There were slave and nurse around it. Seeing her, Hasan turned the shutter screw, the horse slowed down and began to descend. Nanniki and slave were frightened and rushed with shouts. And Tsarevich sank to the roof and said:

About the zoomourrud, so I deceived your father and his warriors. Do you want to go with me to my country and my kingdom?

Yes, "said Zuumbrud," I'll go with you everywhere where you want. "

Then they hurry to sit with me on my horse, until the servants and guard came running here, "said Hassan.

He put the princess on the horse behind him and tied her ropes firmly, and then turned the screw of the lifetime, and they swayed into the air and flew. They flew until the capital of the Persian king was reached. Then Hasan sank in one of the gardens, divered the zoomourrud in the gazebo, and wooden horse Put at the door and ordered the girl to spin it. And he himself went to his father and found him in the mountain and sadness because of separation from his son. When the king saw Tsarevich, he was delighted and pressed him to his chest, and Hassan asked the king:

What happened to the sage, who did the horse?

Mount to him! - answered the king. - This is because of him you left us, and I planted him in prison.

Liberate him and bring here, "said Hassan," because it is a great sage. "

And when the wisers led, Tsarevich awarded him with honorary clothing and money. But the sage hid anger on Tsarevich because he learned the mystery of the horse and learned to fly on him.

And Hassan told the Father about everything that happened to him, and said:

Know that I brought with my beautiful princess and I want to marry it. I left her in the garden of Emir Mahmud and came to inform you about it. I ask you, collect your approximated and visiting and go to her towards.

Well, "the king replied and immediately ordered the residents to decorate the city and meet Tsarevna.

And Hassan sat down at the horse, rushed into the garden of Emir Mahmud and saw that the gazebo was empty and the zoomourrud disappeared. He began to beat himself in the face and shouted:

Where did she and where did you know the mystery of a wooden horse?

He called the guy of the garden and asked them if anyone came to the garden.

No one was, except for the sage, - replied Storam.

Then Tsarevich realized that the girl and the horse stole a sage.

And it really was so. When Hassan told the king about where he left Tsarevna, the sage stood behind the door and listened. And then ran into the garden of Emir Mahmoud. Having come there, he saw his horse and was very happy. It turned out that all the screws are in order and the horse is not broken. Then the sage entered the gazebo and bowed to Tsarevna.

Who are you? - asked the zoomourrud.

And the sage replied:

O Madam, I sent from Tsarevich. He ordered me to transport you to another garden. We will go with me, and I will show you that I prepared for you.

Zuumbrud believed him words and said:

And what will I go, my father?

At the horse, on which you arrived here, - said the sage.

But I do not know how to ride it alone, "Zuumbrud said. The sage realized that she could not manage the horse.

I'll sit with you myself, "he said.

And he planted the zoomourrud behind him, tied her with rods and turned his lifting screw. The horse was filled with air and flew. They flew until the city had disappeared from their eyes.

Then Tsarevna asked:

Where are we flying and where is Tsarevich?

And the sage laughed and answered:

Mount your Tsarevich! I built this horse all my life, and when I finally built it, Tsarevich took it from me and gave me an insignificant award. But now I again seen the horse, and I captured you in my hands, and Tsarevich will be grieving just as I said.

Zuzuroda realized that she had no salvation, and was crying. They flew all day and in the evening they dropped into a green meadow, not far from the city. And the king of this country lived in the city. And it happened that the king just at that time hunted. He noticed a wiser with a girl and a horse, and did not have time to move, as the slaves of the king rushed to them, grabbed both and led to the king.

About the girl, who are you and who is this old man? Asked King. And the sage hurried to answer:

This is my wife.

Then the zoomourrud screamed:

Oh king, he lies! He stole me and entered the trick!

And the king ordered the wisdom to go to the city and put to jail, and the girl and the horse to deliver to her palace. That's what happened to the sage and the girl. As for Tsarevich Khasan, when he was convinced that the sage was engaged in his bride zomurod, he put on a road dress and went to look for her. He walked from the city to the city and the everywhere asked about a flying horse from a black tree. But everyone laughed and said that there were no such horses and that he probably went crazy.

Once he came to big city And stopped spending the night at the inn. Suddenly he heard, as one traveler said to others who gathered around him:

O my friends, I saw a miracle.

Tell us about it, they asked him. And he said:

I was in the city of Caisaria, and the king of this city invited me to hunt. And when we drove in the meadow, we saw there an ugly old man and a beautiful girl, and near them - a horse from a black tree. This horse is a miracle of miracles, there has never been a horse, more beautiful and better than him.

What was with an old man, horse and girl? - asked the traveler.

And he replied:

The old man king was put in prison, and his horse and a girl took to her palace.

Hearing this, Hassan now asked the traveler, how to reach the city of Kaisaria. The next morning he went to this city and a few days later reached his gate. But the guards standing at the gate said Khasan:

We have such a custom in the city: when a stranger comes to us, the king makes bring him to himself and asks who he is so and what the craft knows. Now it's too late to go to the king.

Let's go with us, you spend you with us. And tomorrow we will take you to the palace.

They led Hasan to themselves, fed him, and then one of them asked Tsarevich, from what country he is.

From Persia, "Hasan replied.

Then another watchman said:

In prison there are one old old Persian. I saw a lot of people, but I did not meet a person more false than he.

And what is his lie? - asked Hassan.

He says he is a sage. The king found him in the meadow together with a girl and a black tree horse. He planted the old man in prison, and the horse and the girl took to the palace. But only this girl is barely, and if the Persian was actually a sage, he would have cured her. And he can not, and the king did not find anyone else who could cure the girl.

Take me to the king, and I cure her, "said Hassan.

When it was morning, he was led to the king, and Tsarevich Hasan said:

About the king, I know a lot of sciences and I know the science of healing especially well. I am flying all the sick and the undershits, and I should look at the sick, as he becomes healthy.

About the great sage, you need us! - shouted the king. - cure a girl who is from me and I will give you everything you need!

Tell me what the girl is sick, "said Hassan.

And the king told him everything that was with a girl, horse and sage.

What did you do with the horse? - asked Tsarevich. And the king replied:

He stands in my treasury. Then Hasan was delighted and said:

I want to look at this horse, and then I may find a means to cure a girl.

The king brought Hasan to Kony, and Hasan went around him, examined and saw that the horse was also in good condition.

Now I will go see the girl, "he said," and cure her with the help of this horse.

He entered the zoomourrud and saw that she was beating in a fit, as a barely. And she was not a bad and did it on purpose, so that the king would not take her in wives.

Hasan approached her, and she recognized him and screamed from joy. And Hasan ordered the king to go out and said Zuumbrud:

To escape from here, you need a trick. You will see what I came up with! And now calm down and when the king will go, talk to him gently so that he saw that you recovered. Then everything we want.

I'll do it, "Zuumbrud said. And Hasan came to the king and said:

Oh king, be happy: the girl's disease passed.

The king entered the zoomourrud, and she got to meet him and said:

Welcome!

The king was delighted and asked Khasan:

How can I reward you?

The treatment is not yet completed, - said Hasan. - Collect your warriors and go with a girl to the place where you found it. Take with you and a horse from a black tree. There I will destroy an evil spirit that torments the girl.

Let it be in yours, "the king said.

He went to the meadow with his troops, with a horse and with princess zoomourrud.

There Hasan asked the king and his warriors to move away from the horse on the flight of arrows and said:

I'll snap smiling, read the spell and kill here, and then sit on a black horse with a girl and bring her to you.

The king was departed with his warriors on the flight of arrows, and Hassan and the zoomourrud sat on the horse. Tsarevich turned the screw of the lifting, the horse reached into the air and flew. And the king and the warriors looked at the horse, Hassan and the zoomourrud, until they hide from the eyes. The king stood in place half a day, waiting for Tsarevich, but he did not return. Finally, the king returned to the city. He could not comfort himself, that he lost her girl and horse, and his approximated told him:

This doctor is a sorcerer, and very good that he flew away and you got rid of his witchcraft.

And Hassan, meanwhile, flew to his hometown and sank around the palace. He married the princess zoomourrud and the day of his wedding arranged a feast for all residents of the city. King, Father Hasan, was pleased and happy that his son returned alive and healthy.

And so that Tsarevich could never fly, the king ordered to break the magic horse.
