There lived one padishah. He had an only son named Abdul.

The son of the padishah was very stupid and this caused his father a lot of trouble and grief. Padishah hired Abdula wise mentors, sent him to study in distant countries, but nothing helped the stupid son. Once a man came to the padishah and said to him: I want to help you with advice. Find a wife for your son so that she can solve any wise riddles. It will be easier for him to live with an intelligent wife.

The padishah agreed with him and began to look for a wise wife for his son. An old man lived in this country. He had a daughter named Magfura. She helped her father in every way, and the fame of her beauty and intelligence went everywhere for a long time. And although Magfura was the daughter of a common man, the padishah sent his viziers to her father: he decided to be convinced of Magfura's wisdom and ordered her father to be brought to the palace.

An old man came, bowed to the padishah and asked:

I appeared at your command, great padishah, - what do you order?

Here are thirty yards of linen for you. Let your daughter sew shirts out of it for my entire army and leave it for footcloths, - the padishah tells him.

The old man returned home sad. Magfura came out to meet him and asked:

Why are you so sad, father?

The old man told his daughter about the order of the padishah.

Don't be sad, father. Go to the padishah and tell him - let him first build a palace from one log, where I will sew shirts, and even leave it for firewood, - Magfura answers.

The old man took the log, came to the padishah and said:

My daughter asks you to build a palace out of this log, and even leave firewood for fuel. Complete this task, then Magfura will fulfill yours.

The padishah heard this, marveled at the girl's wisdom, gathered the viziers, and they decided to marry Abdul to Magfur. Magfura did not want to marry the stupid Abdul, but the padishah began to threaten her father with death. They summoned guests from all possessions and celebrated the wedding.

Once the padishah decided to go to his possessions; he took his son with him. They go, they go. The padishah became bored, he decided to test his son and says:

Make the road shorter - something has become boring to me.

Abdul dismounted, took a shovel and started digging a road. The vizier began to laugh at him, and the padishah felt hurt and annoyed that his son could not understand his words. He said to his son:

If by tomorrow morning you can't figure out how to make the road shorter, I will punish you severely.

Abdul returned home sad. Magfura came out to meet him and sews:

Why are you, Abdul, so sad?

And Abdul answers his wife:

My father threatens to punish me if I don’t figure out how to make the road shorter. To this Magfura says:

Do not be sad, this is a small problem. Tomorrow you tell your father this way: in order to shorten the boring road, you need to have conversations with your companion. If the companion is a scientist, you need to tell him what cities there are in the state, what battles were and what commanders distinguished themselves in them. And if the companion is a simple person, then you need to tell him about a different craft, about skilled craftsmen. Then the long journey will seem short to everyone.

The next day, early in the morning, the padishah calls his son to him and asks:

Have you figured out how to make the long journey short?

Abdul answered as his wife had taught him.

The padishah understood that it was Magfura who taught Abdul such an answer. He smiled, but said nothing.

When the padishah grew old and died, instead of him, it was not Abdul the fool that ruled the country, but his wise wife Magfura.

Once upon a time there was a king, and he had an only son. The prince grew up by leaps and bounds. The king did not even notice how his son grew up big, handsome and courageous. Only he was, poor thing, with a flaw: stupid as a dark night.

And so the king decided to marry his son. He informed the people that he was looking for a bride for the tsarevich, only, they say, she must be the smartest girl in the whole world. Soon the king learned that a poor man lived in a distant village, whose only daughter was so beautiful and intelligent that she had no equal on earth. Then the king decided to send a messenger to her, to whom he ordered:

- Whenever you find a girl, tell me that I ask her to come to me - not on foot, not on horseback, not by air, not by land, not with a present, not without a present, not undressed or dressed.

Soon a messenger appeared to the girl and conveyed the words of the king. And the girl answered him:

- I understood the words of the king and will come to him as ordered.

The messenger returned to the king and reported:

- I found the girl to whom you sent me. Get ready, the wisest king, for the meeting, she will come without hesitation.

The king pondered for a long time how to meet the guest, and was impatiently awaiting her arrival to see how she would fulfill his command.

And the girl, as soon as the messenger left, thought hard: what to do and how to be, in order to please the king and appear to him as ordered.

She caught the pigeon, tied it in a handkerchief so as not to come to the king without a present. Then she found a net, sewed clothes out of it, sat astride a lame hare and set off.

Meanwhile, the king and his courtiers went out on the road to meet the bride. But suddenly they see: a strange stuffed animal is moving towards the kingdom, neither a man nor a woman, neither on horseback, nor on foot, nor on the ground, nor by air, nor naked, nor dressed, nor with a present, nor without a present. As the messenger, sent with the order of the king, looked, he immediately recognized in the effigy the very girl whom the king had invited to him.

The girl approached the royal retinue, and her king asked:

- Who are you and where are you keeping your way?

“I am that girl whom your Majesty invited to the royal palace.

The king marveled and asked again:

- Why are you dressed like that?

The girl answers him:

- After all, you yourself told me, your majesty, to appear: neither on horseback, nor on foot, nor by air, nor by land. So I did.

The king looked at her with an inquiring glance and said, even more surprised at her wisdom:

- It's good, it's good that you came like that. What's in your hand?

“I have a present in my hand, as you ordered, Your Majesty. Please receive.

But as soon as the king stretched out his hand to receive the present, the girl untied the handkerchief, and the dove flapped its wings and rushed up into the air.

Then the king asks her:

- What is this present?

“You said so, your majesty,” the girl replied. - Show up neither with a present, nor without a present.

The king was convinced here that the girl was very clever and cunning, and that she appeared exactly as he ordered.

“Let's go into the house and sit down at the table,” he said to the girl.

They entered the house and sat down at the table. While they were eating and drinking, the king said to the girl:

“If you’re so smart, see if you can carry out one more command of mine.” I have an only son whom I want to marry, and if you do as I please, I will marry him to you.

The girl thought and answered:

- Maybe I will carry out your command, your majesty, but let your son come here first, I want to look at him and talk to him.

The king ordered to call his son. Looking at the prince and talking to him, the girl thought to herself that it would only fit to harness him in a cart, and not marry her. And the king says to the girl:

- Dear girl, this is my son. You know my kingdom. All of it will go to him. If you do what I tell you, I will marry you to him.

The king took three spools of thread, gave them to the girl and said:

- Do you see these coils? Make enough clothes from them to be enough for the entire population of the country.

The girl took all three coils and answered the king:

- I can, your majesty, fulfill your command, but I do not have enough of a trifle: I have nothing to work with, I left the instrument at home. Let your Majesty's son make me tools, but from the material that I will give him, and not from what he would like.

Then she tore out three twigs from the broom and handed them to the king, saying:

- For a long time I have been looking for a groom, and how many of them came, no one was to my liking. Well, the son of your majesty, because he is a royal son, will be able to become one, if, of course, he does the job that I will give him.

Since then and to this day, the tsar's son has been making tools and cannot finish the work in any way. Because of this, the girl could not fulfill the king's command. The king grew old and never married his son to a clever girl. And the girl married a poor guy, but smart and hardworking

And the prince is still looking for a bride for himself, but no one wants to marry him, seeing how stupid he is.

Wise answers

A soldier comes home from service, having served twenty-five years. Everyone asks him about the king, but he never saw him in person. The soldier goes to the palace to see the king, and he tests the soldier and makes him various riddles. The soldier answers so intelligently that the king is satisfied. The king sends him to the dungeon and says that he will send thirty geese to him, let the soldier do not fail and be able to pull out of them by a pen. After that, the king summons thirty rich merchants to him and asks them the same riddles as the soldier, but they cannot guess them. The king puts them in prison for this. The soldier teaches the merchants the correct answers to riddles and takes a thousand rubles from each of them. The king again asks the merchants the same questions, and when the merchants answer, he lets them go, and the soldier gives him another thousand rubles for his wit. The soldier returns home and lives richly and happily.

Wise maiden

Two brothers are traveling, one is poor, the other is rich. The poor have a mare, and the rich have a gelding. They stay overnight. At night, the mare brings a foal, and he rolls under the cart of his rich brother. He wakes up in the morning and tells his poor brother that at night his cart gave birth to a foal. The poor brother says that this cannot be, they begin to argue and sue. It comes down to the king. The king summons both brothers to himself and gives them riddles. The rich goes to the godmother for advice, and she teaches him what to answer to the king. And the poor brother tells about the riddles of his seven-year-old daughter, and she tells him the right answers.

The king listens to both brothers, and he only likes the poor man's answers. When the king finds out that the daughter of a poor brother has solved his riddles, he tests her, giving various tasks, and is more and more surprised at her wisdom. Finally, he invites her to his palace, but stipulates that she should come to him neither on foot, nor on a horse, neither naked, nor dressed, nor with a present, nor without a present. The seven-year-old takes off all his clothes, puts on a net, takes a quail in his hands, sits astride a hare and goes to the palace. The king meets her, and she gives him the quail and says that it is her present, but the king does not have time to take the bird, and it flies away. The king talks with the seven-year-old and again becomes convinced of her wisdom. He orders to give the foal to the poor peasant, and takes his seven-year-old daughter to himself. When she grows up, he marries her and she becomes a queen.

Popov worker

Pop hires a farm laborer, sends him to plow on the bitch and gives him a rug of bread. At the same time, he punishes him so that both he and the bitch are fed, and the mat remains intact. The farm laborer works all day, and when hunger becomes unbearable, he thinks out what to do to fulfill the priest's order. He removes the top crust from the rugs, pulls out all the crumb, eats his fill and feeds the bitch, and sticks the crust in place. The priest is pleased that the fellow turned out to be quick-witted, gives him over the agreed price for his ingenuity, and the laborer lives with the priest happily.

Shepherd's daughter

The tsar marries the shepherd's daughter, a beautiful woman, but demands from her that she does not contradict anything, otherwise he will execute her. A son is born to them, but the king tells his wife that it is not good for a peasant's son to take over the whole kingdom after his death, and therefore her son must be killed. The wife resignedly obeys, and the king secretly sends the child to his sister. When they have a daughter, the king does the same with the girl. The prince and the princess grow up away from their mother and become very good-looking.

Many years pass, and the king announces to his wife that he no longer wants to live with her, and sends her back to her father. She does not reproach her husband with a single word and grazes the cattle as before. The king summons his former wife to the palace, tells her that he is going to marry a young beauty, and tells her to clean up the rooms for the arrival of the bride. She arrives, and the king asks his former wife if his bride is good, and the wife humbly replies that if he feels good, then even more so. Then the tsar returns the royal attire to her and confesses that the young beauty is her daughter, and the handsome man who came with her is her son. After that, the king ceases to test his wife and lives with her without any cunning.

Slandered merchant's daughter

The merchant and the merchant's wife have a son and a beautiful daughter. Parents die, and the brother says goodbye to his beloved sister and leaves for military service. They change their portraits and promise to never forget each other. The merchant's son serves the tsar faithfully, becomes a colonel and befriends the tsarevich himself. He sees a portrait of his sister on the wall of the colonel, falls in love with her and dreams of marrying her. All colonels and generals envy the friendship of the merchant's son with the prince and think about how to make them friends.

One envious general goes to the city where the colonel's sister lives, inquires about her and learns that she is a girl of exemplary behavior and rarely leaves home, except to church. On the eve of the big holiday, the general waits for the girl to leave for the all-night vigil, and comes to her house. Taking advantage of the fact that the servants take him for the brother of their mistress, he goes to her bedroom, steals a glove and a name ring from her table and hurries off. The merchant's daughter returns from the church, and the servants tell her that her brother came, did not find her and also went to church. She is waiting for her brother, notices that the gold ring has disappeared, and guesses that a thief has visited the house. And the general arrives in the capital, slanders the prince about the colonel's sister, says that he himself could not resist and sinned with her, and shows her ring and glove, which she allegedly gave him as a keepsake.

The prince tells the merchant's son about everything. He takes leave and goes to his sister. From her, he learns that her ring and glove have disappeared from her bedroom. The merchant's son realizes that all this is the machinations of the general, and asks his sister to come to the capital when there is a big divorce in the square. The girl arrives and asks the prince to try the general who defamed her name. The prince calls the general, but he swears that he sees this girl for the first time. The merchant's daughter shows the general a glove, a pair to the one she allegedly gave the general along with a gold ring, and accuses the general of lying. He confesses everything, he is tried and sentenced to be hanged. And the prince goes to his father, and he allows him to marry a merchant's daughter.

The soldier and the king in the forest

The man has two sons. The senior is taken into recruits, and he is promoted to the rank of general. Then the junior is taken into the soldiers, and he ends up in the same regiment where his brother-general is in command. But the general does not want to recognize his younger brother: he is ashamed that he is a simple soldier, and directly tells him that he does not want to know him. When the soldier tells the general's friends about this, he orders to give him three hundred sticks. The soldier escapes from the regiment and lives alone in a wild forest, feeding on roots and berries.

Once in this forest the king and his retinue are hunting. The king is chasing a deer and lagging behind the rest of the hunters. He wanders in the woods and meets a fugitive soldier. The king tells the soldier that he is the king's servant. They look for a lodging for the night and enter the forest hut in which the old woman lives. She does not want to feed the intruders, but the soldier finds her plenty of food and wine and reproaches her for being greedy. Having eaten and drunk, they go to sleep in the attic, but the soldier, just in case, persuades the king to take turns to stand on the clock. The king falls asleep twice at the post, and the soldier wakes him up, and the third time he beats him up and sends him to sleep, while he himself is on guard.

The robbers come to the hut. They go up to the attic one by one to kill the intruders, but the soldier deals with them. The next morning, the soldier and the king descend from the attic and the soldier demands from the old woman all the money that the robbers have stolen.

The soldier takes the king out of the forest and says goodbye to him, and he invites the servant to the royal palace and promises to plead with the sovereign for him. The tsar gives orders to all outposts: if they see such and such a soldier, let them salute him as it should be to greet a general. The soldier is surprised, comes to the palace and recognizes in his recent comrade the king. He awards him with the rank of general, and breaks his older brother into soldiers so that he does not abandon his family and tribe.

Moroka

The sailor takes time off from the ship to the shore, goes every day to the inn, carousing and pays only in gold. The innkeeper suspects something was wrong and informs the officer, who reports to the general. The general calls the sailor and demands that he explain where he got so much gold from. He replies that there is a lot of such good in any cesspool and asks the innkeeper to show the gold that he received from him. In the box, instead of gold, there are knuckles. Suddenly streams of water rush through the windows and doors, and the general has no time for questions. The sailor offers to climb out through the chimney onto the roof. They escape and see that the whole city is flooded. A skiff is sailing by, a sailor and a general get into it and on the third day they sail to the thirtieth kingdom.

To earn a living, they go to the village and are hired for the whole summer as shepherds: a sailor becomes a senior, and a general becomes a shepherd. In the fall, they are paid money, and the sailor divides them equally, but the general is unhappy with the fact that a simple sailor equals him with himself. They quarrel, but then the sailor pushes the general to wake up. The general comes to his senses and sees that he is in the same room, as if he never left it. He does not want to judge the sailor anymore and lets him go. So the innkeeper is left with nothing.

Witch doctor

A poor and windy peasant called the Bug steals a canvas from a woman, hides it, and he himself boasts that he knows how to bewitch. Baba comes to him to find out where her canvas is. The peasant asks for a pood of flour and a pound of butter for the work and tells where the canvas is hidden.After that, having stolen a stallion from the master, he receives a hundred rubles from the master for fortune-telling, and the peasant is glorified as a great healer.

The king's wedding ring disappears, and he sends for the healer: if the peasant finds out where the ring is, he will receive a reward, if not, he will lose his head. The witch doctor is assigned a special room so that by morning he will know where the ring is. The footman, coachman and cook, who stole the ring, are afraid that the witch doctor will find out about them, and agree to take turns eavesdropping at the door. The man decided to wait for the third roosters and run away. A footman comes to eavesdrop, and at this time the rooster begins to sing for the first time. The man says: one is already there, there are still two to wait! The footman thinks that the witch doctor recognized him. The same thing happens with the coachman and the cook: the roosters are singing, and the man counts and says: there are two! and now all three! The thieves beg the witch doctor not to hand them over and give him the ring. The man throws the ring under the floorboard, and the next morning he tells the king where to look for the loss.

The king generously rewards the medicine man and goes for a walk in the garden. Seeing a beetle, he hides it in his palm, returns to the palace and asks the peasant to guess what is in his hand. The man says to himself: "Well, the tsar got a bug in the hands!" The king rewards the witch doctor even more and lets him go home.

Blind men

In Moscow, at the Kaluzhskaya outpost, a man gives a blind beggar from the last fifty kopecks a seven-dollar bill and asks for forty-eight kopecks for change, but the blind does not seem to hear. The peasant feels sorry for his money, and he, getting angry with the blind man, slowly takes one crutch away from him, and he himself follows him when he leaves. The blind man comes to his hut, opens the door, and the peasant sniffs into the room and hides there. The blind man locks himself from the inside, takes out a barrel of money, pours everything that he has collected in a day, and grins, remembering the fellow who gave him his last fifty dollars. And in a beggar's barrel - five hundred rubles. A blind man with nothing to do rolls the barrel on the floor, it hits the wall and rolls back towards him. The man slowly takes the keg from him. The blind man does not understand where the keg has gone, unlocks the door and calls

Pantelei, his neighbor, who lives in a neighboring hut. He comes.

The peasant sees that Panteley is also blind. Panteley scolds his friend for his stupidity and says that he should not have played with money, but did what Panteley did: exchange money for banknotes and sew them into an old hat, which is always with him. And in it Pantelei - about five hundred rubles. The man quietly takes off his hat, goes out the door and runs away, taking a barrel with him. Panteley thinks that his neighbor has taken off his hat and begins to fight with him. And while the blind men are fighting, the man returns to his home and lives happily ever after.

Thief

The man has three sons. He takes the elder to the forest, the guy sees a birch and says that if he burned it for coal, he would start a smithy for himself and start earning money. The father is pleased that his son is smart. He is taking his middle son to the forest. He sees an oak and says that if this oak were cut down, he would become carpentry and earn money. Father and middle son are satisfied. And no matter how he drove the younger Vanka through the forest, he was silent. They leave the forest, the boy sees a cow and tells his father that it would be nice to steal this cow! The father sees that there will be no use from him, and drives him away. And Vanka becomes such a clever thief that the townspeople complain about him to the king. He calls Vanka to him and wants to test him: is he as smart as they say about him. The king orders him to take the stallion away from him: if Vanka can steal him, then the king will have mercy on him, but if not, he will execute him.

That evening, Vanka pretends to be drunk as an insole and wanders with a keg of vodka through the royal court. The grooms take him to the stable, take the keg from him and get drunk, and Vanka pretends to be asleep. When the grooms fall asleep, the thief takes the royal stallion away. The king forgives Vanka for this trick, but demands that the thief leave his kingdom, otherwise he will not get it!

Dead body

The old widow has two smart sons, and the third is a fool. Dying, the mother asks her sons so that they do not cheat the fool during the division of the property, but the brothers do not give him anything. And the fool grabs the deceased from the table, drags her to the attic and shouts from there that his mother was killed. The brothers do not want a scandal and give him a hundred rubles. The fool puts the deceased in the woods and takes her to the high road. The master gallops towards him, but the fool does not turn off the road on purpose. The master runs into the logs, the deceased falls from them, and the fool yells that mother was killed. The master is frightened and gives him a hundred rubles to keep quiet, but the fool takes three hundred rubles from him. Then the fool slowly takes the deceased to the priest's yard, drags her into the cellar, puts it on the straw, removes the lids from the milk crinkle and gives the dead woman a jug and a spoon. He himself hides behind a tub.

He goes down to the priest's cellar and sees: some old woman sits and collects sour cream from the crinkles into a jug. The butt grabs the stick, hits the old woman on the head, she falls, and the fool jumps out from behind the tub and shouts that mother was killed. A priest comes running, gives the fool a hundred rubles and promises to bury the deceased with his own money, if only the fool is silent. The fool returns home with money. The brothers ask him where he is of the deceased, and he replies that he has sold. So it becomes jealous, they kill their wives and take them to the market to sell, and they are seized and exiled to Siberia. The fool, on the other hand, becomes the master of the house and lives - he does not grieve.

Ivan the Fool

The old man and the old woman have three sons: two are smart, and the third is a fool. His mother sends him to take a pot of dumplings to the brothers in the field. He sees his shadow and thinks that some person is following him and wants to eat dumplings. The fool throws dumplings at him, and he doesn't lag behind. So the fool comes; to brothers with empty hands. They beat the fool, go to the village for dinner, and they leave him to graze the sheep. The fool sees that the sheep have scattered across the field, gathers them in a heap and knocks out the eyes of all the sheep. Brothers come, see what the fool has done, and beat him more than ever.

Old men send Ivanushka to the city for shopping for the holiday. He buys everything he asked for, but out of his stupidity throws everything out of the cart. The brothers beat him again and go shopping themselves, and Ivanushka is left in the hut. Tom doesn't like the beer fermenting in the tub. He doesn’t tell him to wander, but the beer doesn’t listen. The fool gets angry, pours beer on the floor, sits down in the trough and floats around the hut. The brothers return, sew the fool into a sack, carry him to the river and look for an ice hole to drown. The master rides by on three horses, and the fool shouts that he, Ivanushka, does not want to be a voivode, but they force him. The master agrees to become a commander instead of a fool and pulls him out of the cooler, and Ivanushka puts the master in there, sews the sack, sits in the cart and leaves. Brothers come, throw a sack into the ice-hole and go home, and Ivanushka rides towards them in a troika.

The fool tells them that when they threw him into the ice-hole, he caught horses under the water, but there was still a glorious horse. The brothers ask Ivanushka to sew them into a sack and throw them into the hole. He does so, and then goes home to drink beer and commemorate the brothers.

Lutonyushka

Their son Lutonya lives with an old man and an old woman. Once the old woman drops a log and begins to lament, and tells her husband that if they had married their Lutonya, and had a son and sat next to her, she would have knocked him to death by dropping the log. The old people sit and cry bitterly. Lutonya finds out what the matter is, and leaves the yard - to look if there is anyone in the world more stupid than his parents. In the village, the peasants want to drag a cow onto the roof of the hut. When asked by Lutoni, they say that a lot of grass has grown there. Lutonya climbs onto the roof, picks off several bundles and throws it to the cow.

The men are surprised at Lutoni's resourcefulness and beg him to live with them, but he refuses. In another village, he sees that the peasants have tied a yoke at the gate and drive a horse into it with sticks. Lutonya puts a collar on the horse and moves on. At the inn, the hostess puts salamata on the table, and she endlessly walks with a spoon to the cellar for sour cream. Lutonya explains to her that it is easier to bring a jug of sour cream from the cellar and put it on the table. The hostess thanks Lutonya and treats him to her.

Mena

A peasant finds oatmeal in the manure, asks his wife to pound it, grind it, cook jelly and pour it into a dish, and he will take it to the king: maybe the king will grant something! A man comes to the king with a dish of jelly, and he gives him a golden grater. A man goes home, meets a shepherd on the way, exchanges a grouse for a horse and moves on. Then he exchanges a horse for a cow, a cow for a sheep, a sheep for a pig, a pig for a goose, a goose for a duck, a duck for a club. He comes home and tells his wife what reward he received from the king and what he exchanged for it. The wife grabs the club and pounds her husband.

Ivan the Fool

The old man and the old woman have two sons, married and hard-working, and the third, Ivan the Fool, is single and loafing around. They send Ivan the Fool into the field, he whips the horse on the side, kills forty horseflies in one fell swoop, and it seems to him that he has killed forty heroes. He comes home and demands a curtain, a saddle, a horse and a saber from his family. Those laugh at him and give away what is useless, and the fool sits on a thin mare and leaves. He writes on a post a message to Ilya Muromets and Fyodor Lyzhnikov, so that they come to him, a strong and mighty hero, who killed forty heroes in one fell swoop.

Ilya Muromets and Fyodor Lyzhnikov see the message of Ivan, a mighty hero, and join him. The three of them come to a certain state and stop at the royal meadows. Ivan the Fool demands that the Tsar give him his daughter as a wife. The angry tsar orders the capture of three heroes, but Ilya Muromets and Fyodor Lyzhnikov disperse the tsar's army. The Tsar sends for the hero Dobrynya, who lives in his domain.

The merchant's wife hears them whispering in the trap, and brings Gavrila another five hundred rubles, just to keep quiet. Tavrilo finds a pillow and a keg of resin, tells the merchant's lover to undress, dumps it in resin, dumps it in feathers, sits on top of it, and screams out of the trap.

Retold

Once the shah and his vizier were returning from a hunt and saw that a hunched-over old woman was walking ahead. The shah bridled his horse, overtook her and asked:

- Hey, old woman, who are you and what are you doing here?

“I’m a woman, don’t you see?” - answered the old woman. - And I am engaged in spoiling life for some, making others happy.

Shah was surprised:

- What power do you have so that you can make someone happy or unhappy?

“O shah,” the old woman laughed, “don't you know what a woman is capable of? If a woman doesn't destroy the house, it will stand for a thousand years.

Shah did not like the old woman's words. And the vizier agreed with her.

Already the old woman had long been left behind, and they all argued, And even in the palace they continued to bicker. The padishah had three daughters. He called them to settle the dispute.

- Daughters, - he asked, - who is building the house - a woman or a man?

The eldest daughter replied:

- Of course, husband.

Shah liked her answer.

- Thank you, daughter, you're right, - he said and turned to his middle daughter: - What do you say? She replied:

- Father, what is a woman so that she can build a house? Of course, a man builds a house.

The shah turned to his youngest daughter:

- What do you think, daughter? But the youngest daughter disappointed him:

- Father, a woman is building a house.

The Shah was an unrestrained person. In anger, he jumped up from the throne.

“If so, I will marry you to a poor homeless man. Let's see how you build a house!

And I must say, on the outskirts of this city, an old woman, Fata-gara, lived in a pitiful shack. And she had a grandson, Ahmed, so lazy that he was ready not to drink, not eat, just not to get up. The shah called this Faty-gary to him and said: - Listen, old woman, I give my youngest daughter for your grandson. And since you are a poor man and you have nothing, you don’t need a wedding; without any music, take it with you when you go home.

The old woman fell at his feet in horror:

- O shah, what kind of couple is my grandson of your daughter? He doesn't even wear decent clothes. He walks in such rags that the poor are frightened. Yes, he never ate bread in his life. How can he support the Shah's daughter? No, great shah, don't do that.

“It’s none of your wits,” the shah said angrily. - It has been said - I give my daughter for your grandson - and it's over.

The old woman had no choice but to do, and she, taking the Shah's daughter with her, went home. There she told her grandson about everything. Although Ahmed was amazed at the Shah's unexpected decision, he did not get out of bed.

And the Shah's daughter was very smart and cunning. She was not in the least afraid of her father's anger, nor the unexpected marriage. She decided that she would deal with her husband's laziness.

First of all, she noticed that he was due to Lena. eating in bed. Therefore, on the very first day, she set the table and invited Ahmed to eat .. He begged her for a long time to bring dinner to bed. But she didn’t agree. Then Ahmed turned to the wall and fell asleep. - The next day the same thing happened again. Ahtmed felt that he was hungry, the young man realized that no one would give him food in bed, even if he died, and somehow, groaning and groaning, crawled to the set table. After eating, he immediately fell asleep. And every day my wife laid the table farther from the bed. A few days later, Ahmed would get up, as soon as she brought in food. Then she began to serve dinner in the yard on the green grass. Ahmed began to come here too, but after eating, he invariably went to bed.

Once the Shah's daughter decided to lure him out into the street. She learned that her husband loves nuts. Having bought two pounds of nuts at the market, she scattered them from the gate to the house and said:

- Ahmed, stop keeping the sides. There are nuts lying around in the yard, get up, pick them up and eat them.

Although Ahmed was too lazy to get up, he wanted even more nuts. He got out of bed, somehow collected the nuts at the gate and went to bed again. The next day she came up with a new trick, then another, and so gradually she taught the lazy person to go out into the street. Then she began to send him to the market.

But Ahmed objected:

- Yes, I do not know how to do anything, where can I find a job?

- You just go out into the street, - said the wife, - shout who needs a worker, and you will see that someone will need it. But whoever comes up to you, do not bargain and do not argue, go with him. He will give you a job.

Somehow she took Ahmed out into the street. He stood in the middle of the road, barely audibly repeating:

- Who needs an employee?

Suddenly a man came up to him and said:

- Son, I have a garden, go dig up the earth, for this I have given you one tumen.

Ahmed was about to refuse, but remembered the words of his wife and went. Until evening he dug in the garden, and in the evening he received a bribe and went home.

On the way, he saw that a man was selling a cat. He gave his tumen for the cat. At home, the Shah's daughter asked:

- Ahmed, what did you do, how much did you earn?

“I earned one tumen,” he replied, “but I gave it for this cat.

His wife did not scold him, she just said:

- Once you tried to work, go on a long journey. You need to take a walk, see new places. Ahmed again became lazy, he tried to argue.

- How can I travel, because I have no horse, no money, and I don’t know the road.

But the Shah's daughter was persistent:

- Tomorrow you will go to the market, stand on the side of the road and wait. A caravan of camels will pass by you. If you ask the owner to take you and say that you will help him for this, he will agree. So you will go with them.

Ahmed knew that his wife would get what she wanted anyway, whatever she said, it would be, and therefore agreed. Morning has come. He went to the road and stood on the side of the road. Indeed, a line of camels soon appeared. Ahmed approached the owner of the caravan and asked:

- Won't you take me with you, kind person? For this I will help you on the road.

- Of course, I'll take it, I'm looking for such a person in the afternoon with fire. I was looking in the sky, I got it on the ground. So Ahmed went to wander. Their path lay through the desert, and in the very middle of it they ran out of water. How long, how little they walked, languishing with thirst, finally reached the well.

The owner of the caravan called Ahmed and said to him:

- Sonny, we will lower you down the well, get some water.

Ahmed is already used to agreeing with everything, and he agreed to that too. They tied him with a rope, lowered him into the well. Ahmed stood with his feet to the bottom, looked around and saw: there were no walls around, no light. Only a piece of the sun shines from above. He walked for a long time until he came across a river. He took two water skins and came back. He began to call to take him upstairs. But instead of an answer, there was a terrible roar and the divas appeared. Ahmed was frightened, wanted to run away, but nowhere. Divus blocked the passages in all directions with his hands, and it was impossible to climb up. And roared:

“O son of man, I see you want to run away from me. But know, you will not run away from me anywhere. Not a single living creature got here. But you're in luck. Today I am in a good mood. Now I'm going to ask you a question. If you tell the truth, you are saved, but if you do not, I will tear you to pieces.

And, taking Ahmed with him, the div went to his palace. This palace was so beautiful that Ahmed's eyes flickered. Everything was buried in gold and precious stones. Div began to lead Ahmed around the rooms. In this way they passed thirty-nine rooms. And in the fortieth room, stopping in front of a golden tray with a frog, the divas asked:

- O son of man, tell me now what is the most beautiful thing in the world?

Ahmed replied:

- The most beautiful thing in the world is that which loves your soul.

The diva really liked these words, because he was in love with this very frog. And he changed his mind to kill Ahmed. And pa-turnover, gave him a pomegranate, a large nut and set him free. Ahmed reached the well, but no matter how much he called, no one answered, because the caravan left long ago. And I must say that, going on this journey, Ahmed took with him a cat, which he bought for tumen. When the caravan moved on, the cat did not go with them, it remained to wait for the owner at the well. Leaning over the hole, she meowed endlessly.

The next morning a caravan passed the well. People heard that the cat screams, tears its throat. They thought: "There is some kind of secret here." The owner of the caravan approached the well and heard a voice from there:

- Hey, passers-by, help me get out ...

The caravaneer called his comrades, they lowered the rope and pulled Ahmed out. He told what happened to him, and together they went on. We reached the land of the Thin-Legs. For the night they settled in the caravanserai. The servants set the table, the guests sat down, and the owner and his entire family, with clubs in their hands, stood behind the travelers. This frightened people very much, it seemed to them that the owners wanted to kill them. Therefore, the caravaneer said:

- O brothers, if you think to kill us, kill us before you feed, spare us from the torment of waiting, what is your wild custom?

But the owner of the house replied to this:

- We did not even think of killing you, wait, let the food be served, then you will see what we want to do.

The servants brought in food, and at the same moment so many rats and mice came flying from all directions that not even bones remained in the plates. The owner and his family pounced on them, but could not kill everyone, but finished off a dozen. The rest fled to their burrows. The guests were amazed, and Ahmed asked the owner:

- Brother, don't you have a cat?

- Cats? - asked the owner. - What is a cat? There is no such thing in our area.

Then Ahmed brought his cat. Food was served again. Ahmed released the cat. As soon as the rats crawled out of their holes, she pounced on them and strangled everyone one by one. The owner of the caravanserai froze in surprise. Recovering himself, he begged Ahmed to sell him a cat. And in return he gave him a lot of gold. The next day, another caravan left for Ahmed's hometown. He took a pomegranate, a nut, presented by the divine, a little gold received for a cat, and sent it to his wife, and he, along with the caravan, went further through the cities and villages, and began to trade. Let him go and trade, and we'll see what happened to his wife.

Having received the gold sent by Ahmed, she called the masons and built a seven-story palace. So beautiful that, in comparison, the palace of her father, the Shah, would seem like a stable. And when the house was ready, she wanted to eat the pomegranate sent by Ahmed. But she broke it in half and suddenly saw that inside, instead of grains, there was darkness, darkness of precious stones. Changing them, she furnished the palace with expensive utensils and decorated with fine fabrics.

Soon Ahmed returned from his trip. He went to his shack, but did not find it, but saw a high palace. Ahmed asked the servant who stood at the door:

- Brother, there used to be a small house here, don't you know where it went?

“This is the very house you are asking about,” the servant replied.

Ahmed thought the servant was sneering. So he asked again:

- Brother, why are you deceiving me?

Faty-gary, Ahmed's grandmother, came out to the noise. Recognizing her grandson, she cried out:

- Son, don't you really recognize me? This house was built by your wife.

When Ahmed entered the house and saw how richly and beautifully he was cleaned inside, doubts again seized him. Then the wife told how she built this house. After feeding her husband, she broke a nut sent by Ahmed. But instead of pulp, the nut contained silk clothes worthy of the Shah. She took out these clothes, dressed her husband and said:

- Now, Ahmed, we will invite father to visit. Whatever he asks, answer only the truth.

Morning has come. The girl invited her father and all his courtiers. When the Shah entered his daughter’s house, his tongue quieted with surprise. Such wealth was not even in his treasury. They led the guests to a table filled with the most exquisite dishes in the world. After eating his fill, the Shah asked Ahmed:

- Son, who built this house? Where did you get all this luxury?

Ahmed told the Shah about everything that happened to him.

- May the shah be healthy, - he finished, - everything that you see is made by your daughter. And she built this house, and she gave me a happy life.

And his wife asked him:

- Father, are you now convinced that the house is being built by a woman? The shah lowered his head and replied:

“You're right, my daughter.

And he ordered seven days and seven nights to play the wedding of his daughter and Ahmed.
