          -= Where we have =

  Zhikhar at the sight of the horse just did not spit, yes
only the king would not like it ... And the
just Gutara hooliganism Kashchei:

  - ... And now, just now, I'm sitting here in the mansion,
caviar overseas it - lo and behold, and this asshole
in my garden had driven a herd of goats! .. But catch him we 
did not have time - left for some miracle of cast iron. Okay, 
waved his hand, thought that her kill it - no, now utrechkom 
Vasilis stolen! Voivod says He took her to his castle ... So, 
guest you were good, Zhiharyushka, but you have to help the 
king and father of thy brother's name, Ivan Tsarevich ... 

  - So where is my bro, then?

  - Why, on a visit at Yar-Tur. Says
case studies of war ...

  - That's the case, then what! .. I mean, here -
but they are there! - Exclaimed Zhikhar.

  - Zhiharyushka, Vasilis something to help out right!
- Implored the king-father.

  - Yes ... The brothers will feast, and I am here,
as a fool, I'll be with some Kashcheev mess - sorry to say 
hero. - Well, what to do, do not throw as the bride Ivan ...


  - Welcome to the verb, well done! - Happy king. - I told you 
and the horse in store ... 

  - That's the horse you are the king-father, said nothing 
would! - Outraged Zhikhar. 

  The horse was, in general, anything - the bay,
high, but too old ...

  But the king took the form stupid sheep and wishing good luck 
young man, hurriedly set off up the stairs, citing the urgent 
affairs of state. 

  Zhikhar sighed. Glancing eyes
inn and noticed an open cellar
he, without thinking twice, went down.

  The first thing that he noticed in the
stale air, was an old chest, standing in a dark corner. But how 
many Zhikhar not tinkered with it, trying to crack the one

still stubbornly resisted the heroic
force. Cooled down somewhat, Zhikhar found
dusty oil lamp, which was lying in some dark indentations in 
the wall. 

  Stretching out his hand for a lamp, suddenly saw a hero 
instead of deepening the hole and, recklessly stepped back, 
turned in a mysterious arch-darkness. After lit the kerosene 
stove in his eyes appeared shabby shovel, brazenly replaces the 
expected sword. 

  - Ugh, not her same Kashchei hit something! .. - Zhikhar 
muttered, taking a tool and returning back. His sword, he 
managed to lose a bet to one a water on the way to Ivan Prince.


  Becoming the owner of the shovel, hero unwittingly drew 
attention to the earthen floor in the cellar - and only then 
with suspicion saw, that he does not carpeted.


  Slapping his forehead, Zhikhar immediately began
found a shovel to dig. Creating a yardstick
well, it suddenly occurred to me that all the same
in vain he took indecent for a warrior work, because nothing 
ever dig. Angry hero with all his silischey threw the shovel 
down, and she happily disappeared, leaving a considerable hole 
in the at the bottom of the pit.


  - Aha! - Glad Zhikhar, and from all
scale siganuv there, neatly landing
backwards on something hard and narrow. Again
Light a lamp, he saw that sits on a rusty scrap in a secret 
basement - but, in addition good target for a soft place here

There was nothing. Taking a scrap Zhikhar repaid
kerosene stove and climbed up into the cellar.

  When his eye fell on an already battered them
chest warrior howled with delight and with sadistic smile 
cracked Yet this damned chest with the aid of a crowbar. It was 
a purse full of silver, marked, that, say, money is not fake.


  Taking the discovery, Zhikhar in high spirit
got out of the cellar, and sitting on the treasury horse
boldly rode to the north.


  Long or a short, came from a good fellow,
but galloped and Russian field, and a wide steppe, he found 
himself at last before the fork in the road roads, where a smug 
lying prophetic stone from vipers inscription: "To the left 
trample - on neck obtained by directing a go - bitomu

be, but right dvineshsya - whipped. "Zhikhar
stared and stared dumbfounded at the
letters, trying to understand the meaning of tricky.

  - Listen, you will be - right there on the
teeth ladies! - Rang in his ears ringing voice
from somewhere.

  Dumb hero turned quickly -
no one around was not.

  - That is because what miroedschina! .. - Shook
Zhikhar head, and once again looking at the tricky letters, saw 
new words, speaking from the shadows: "go left and you - lose 
yourself, just go - a married man to be, and the right - the 
horse will lose! ". 

  - Do not hurt something better ... - He muttered
and poraskinuv brains, turned his horse to the right - for 
themselves always have time to "lose" his wife is still too 
early to take, but the horse is not sorry - the whole back of 
it ache! 

  After some time the hero galloping
a large village and was on a noisy fair. Only Zhikhar was moved 
to the Armory shop, how he came up decrepit old woman in rags 
and plaintively proshmakala: 

  - Pofay for food, son ...

  - Oh, Grandma, do you want me as a sword ... - Said the hero, 
but he could not not help it - conscience would then completely 
devoured, along with giblets: - Oh, okay, hang on! - Zhikhar 
and handed the purse jingling with coins. 

  - Well you, my good fellow. Here, take it then that's it, - 
said the old woman and gave bogatyr some letter, shabby at the 
edges. 

  - "Do not eat it. Your Sister" - read
Zhikhar aloud. - Grandma's that passion
such? - Turned a good fellow to empty space - the old woman 
vanished. 

  - Well, surprise ... - Muttered the giant, and as the money 
he was not, He went further to the east, trying to

not to look at selling weapons.


  An hour later Zhikhar wandered into the thicket of dark
forests, where the howling of an owl had crept
shivers down my spine. There were only two paths - the north 
and south. 

  - South - he glamor! - And with the song
"The field is Russian!" Although the terms had been forest, 
Zhikhar soon popped up on the edge, where almost do not hit a 
huge chicken legs. 

  - What's that for evil miroedskaya? -
cried the hero, but the owner of chick
feet silent, for foot-and-then the hut was, and
Here's mouth - no, that must have been to
better. Then he remembered the stories of Ivan
Tsarevich about how he chased the kid
some huts with chicken legs in the fields so
the meadows ...

  - Oh! She did and brehat humanly
can! - But how Zhikhar not welcomed hut, with a haughty view 
that continued to remain silent. Bogatyr realized that, it 
seems, sbrehal Ivan, and the chalet is as blunt as

all legless hut.

  Looking closely, Zhikhar with gloom noted that the entrance 
is not visible, and around continuous thorn.


  - Yes, you turn around to me before, but not
backwards! - Threw in the hearts of an unexpected guest,
and suddenly a little hut, groaning and sighing, slowly turned 
to the hero. 

  - Hmm, yet you have a mind - praised
Zhikhar forest structure, but he wanted
had to step back, as appeared on the threshold
Baba Yaga and sternly looked at the athlete:

  - Well, what I do with you? Eat
eh? ..

  - Now, now, a grandmother, I have not - who
same Vasilis something to help him be? Better here,
Take instrument - maybe good that it
is ...

  Baba Yaga with an ironic smile, took the letter and read it, 
went into the cabin to back again with a valiant sword:


   - Take the sword kladenets may be amiss.
But the horse back will not let go - I'm not obessud ...

  Though it was a pity Zhikharev horse, but because
sword need ... As it turned out, walk
even better than the shake in the horse-pacer.
Bogatyr returned to the familiar thicket and climbed
through the pernicious thicket to the north.


  A few hours later Zhikhar realized that
wandered wherever and Lykina commies did not
led - around was impassable thicket. Suddenly, a barbed 
blackberry crawled angry snake that nabrosilsas for the 
traveler, naively trying to bite him. In a flash he draws his 
sword and a deft flick of hero ripped nasty two. That suddenly 
evaporated, leaving behind a sparkling ring.


  - In which the parasite came up! - Shock
Zhikhar said, cautiously taking the ring -
immediately arose familiar feeling that
that strange, as if someone had stolen.

  Looking at the thicket, deep-hero
breath and with the stubbornness of moved on.
However, he soon raspahnl mouth - in front of him
was familiar prophetic stone.

  - Well leshy a fool! - Dumbfounded said Zhikhar. Just because 
he is exhausted, that folly has decided to go on

north, where, as claimed by Stone, his wife
will palm off.

  The road was short, and soon found himself at the right 
Zhikhar merchant yard. 

  - And what, owners of the house will be? - Called
hero, and immediately regretted that he cried,
and indeed vzumal come here - to meet him ran a hag that guest
almost threw up, and holding a sword, he
with wildly vytrashennymi eyes ran back to the stone, giving 
himself a vow: forward is always wise to obey the stones. 

  Running up a fork, sat down heavily Zhikhar
on the ground and stared gloomily at the inscription,
that said the loss itself, if you go to the west - and it was 
the only way left ... 

   - Well, we'll see who loses! - Has encouraged a hero and 
confidently stamped on a narrow dirt road.



  The path ended at vyzhennoy fire glade
and Zhikhar with grim satisfaction came across a snake 
Gorynycha, who, with insolent views of hanging around here. 
Seeing a stranger, Sinister was not slow to reveal the 
fire-breathing mouth, so ispeplit uninvited guest. However 
bogatr managed to throw up sharply sword and with battle cry: 
"All I'll kill you - one stay! "quick flick successfully cut off

vile golovonostsu once all three heads.
Mischievous creature did not suit the special
scenes for the care of a better world and ichezla.

  - Quite ohreneli ... - Muttered winner, remembering forest 
snake. Looking around, Zhikhar noticed two paths that lead 
further to the west and south. Deciding that the south still 
wait warrior moved along the western path. Soon the stranger 
approached overgrown with weeds to prison and then heard

joyful girl's voice:

  - Ivanushka! At last you come! And I
Kashchei kidnapped, represent - to get married
wanted! I told him, of course, refused, so he
bastard, I took the crown, said to
Collection of some kind, and this vile dungeon imprisoned! ..

  Zhikhar barely survived this flood of words and
seizing the opportune moment, replied:

  - What I tell you, Ivan? I am his brother names Zhikhar, I 
will! 

  - Oh, and the truth is not Ivanushka ... And where
my lover!

  - At Yar Tour he walk ... I mean, things
state studies. Only you, Vasilisa, it would be better said, 
where Kashchei is ... 

  - Oh, and I know not ... But I had pulled off here is the key 
- could come in handy? - Vasilisa and stretched through the 
bars of rusty key.


  - Have you anything else, the case is not stolen? .. - With 
the hope poiteresovalsya Zhikhar, taking the key. 

  Vasilisa broke out:

  - Generally, the key he dropped ...

  Zhikhar grinned and fiddled with the iron doors of the 
prison, trying to lean on, realized that here involved charms - 
and all spell crumble when zadash peppers

koldunischu who created them.

  Leaving Vasilisa, Zhikhar went back to the parched meadow 
where turned on south. The path winds drunkenly among the 
trees, and under one of them suddenly Zhikhar met on the 
gray-haired gnome, which was dug from muttering in the grass: 

  - Well, where I lost it? ..

  - So what is lost, my good man? -
Zhikhar asked loudly, delighted about the scare from behind - 
it was a favorite joke at the heroes. But the dwarf did not pay

him any attention, though the soldiers here
every day, and wandered all the sludge.

  Then he remembered the hero snake
Signet, which so troubled him, and not
knowing what he does, he pulled the discovery and
asked sympathetically:

  - I do not whether it is you lost?

  - Yes! Thank you, oh Zhikhar! .. - Joyfully exclaimed the old 
dwarf, taking the ring. 

  - Wait, how do you know my name? -
Zhikhar amazed, still not believing what he did. A small but 
mysterious stranger smiled and unhooked, with coil of rope belt 
and handed it Bogatyrev: 

  - Here, you have to! - With these words
gnome dove into the bushes.

  - Something smells miroedschinoy! - Grimly muttered hero, 
stepping further to the south. 

  Suddenly, the forest parted and Zhikhar
found himself on the floor of a dark
castle, where a number is an ancient dried up well. Taking out 
the rope, hero somehow tied it to one of the decaying

walls of the well and holds its breath, cautiously descended.

  Bottom were still raw, and in Zhikhar
complete darkness sank to his knees in the dirt flavored. Light 
a kerosene stove with difficulty, that he took the precaution

with them, kolodtselaz enthusiastically discovered
a small casket, which stood on a stone ledge. Gleefully 
grabbing discovery, hero put out the lamp and playfully went 
upstairs. 

  After a long work cracker sweating Zhikhar realized that 
nothing was glad, because harmful casket was pohlesche of the 
chest of the king's cellar - he was made of some heavy-duty 
iron and nevedmogo also closed most tainstvnnym way: the key to 
approaching this caskets as well as a thimble to the hoof. 
Looking around, hero noticed in the west of a low hill and 
decided at this time to bury there miroedskuyu thing, until it 
finds a suitable key.


  Approaching the hill, he saw the gates Zhikhar
lock with the lowered bridge. In the same hill was 
poluzarosshaya door. Pulling Vasilisin key to unlock the hero 
was not slow old door, and she creaked slowly open. Burying the 
casket in the mug with Zhikhar naked sword stepped into the 
twilight, and found myself in a dungeon. Then his eyes appeared 
a magnificent massive club. 

  - Well, Mace, yes it can break through anything, even head 
off the most bloodsuckers! - admired it, twisting in his hand a 
crushing weapons. Then it dawned: a casket!


  Running out from under the hill, Zhikhar with cries of joy 
and jumped into the mugs with all silischey, brought a casket 
with a club. That reluctance split into several parts and one

suddenly rolled out a black egg, does not looks like a chicken. 
And anyway, it was definitely not a bird. Dully staring at an 
egg warrior with a bit annoyed and not koknul,

for expecting to find in a casket something like
stones, gems, and now this mess. But at the last moment he 
slammed the idea, that break this very miroedschinu he always 
has time. Pardoning a strange egg, Zhikhar picked up the pieces 
of the casket and carefully studied them realize that nothing 
pose as Solomon. 

  Throwing debris hero took an egg that
not a bird, and with such an impressive belongings
went to the dark castle.

  Near the entrance was still light, but as soon as Zhikhar 
moved into the stone corridor, it enveloped sticky darkness. 
Again fueling kerosene stove, hero unexpectedly stumbled on a 
wonderful round shield, a suspicious manner driven into the 
dirt floor. Examples Zhikhar picked up a crowbar edge of the 
shield and with all silischey tearing it off the floor, found a 
secret passage leading down. Going down, Hercules was in the 
cache where the stone, trimmed with a strange red

cloth, stood a golden crown Vasilisa.
There are no other had, takes the crown, he made it back.

  Corridor to a depth of dangerously narrowed, where
Everything was bathed in bright lights confusing.
Having a place Zhikhar found himself in the hall room of the 
castle. 

  - It is becoming boring, - muttered
hero, and immediately to the east suddenly heard a terrible 
roar, from which the blood in their veins froze. In Zhikharev 
blood has not cooled, but Here lay the ears.


  - Right now I'll ruin me! - He shouted defiantly. In 
response, there was a new roar, yet than ever. Do heroes laid 
back and nose - not just snot flowed. Snatching

sword Zhikhar indignantly rushed toward the roar - and almost 
dropped the gun, because what he saw, not resembled neither 
beast nor man - it is all anyone did not like. Seeing the hero, 
Wonder Yudo revealed a sort of mouth for a new roar. Recovered, 
Zhikhar dramatically swung the sword, intending to cut these 
things miroedskoe Scum half, but then suddenly disappeared 
instantly, and hero with all his might hit on the stone - only 
sparks flew, but his hands nearly fell off from the hum 
quivering sword. 

  - Here's what happens after you bastard! .. -
indignantly exclaimed Zhikhar trying to overcome the surging 
still runny. Having opened Finally watery eyes, he with a grim 
determination, said: 

  - "If someone else will disappear - nesdobrovat
Miroe ... - Hercules broke off here, since
In the place where he was It, he remarked
was lying bunch of some wonderful Morkovin
with a crooked sign on one of them: "Dynamite in the future. 
throw himself Kashcheev Steep. "Surprised examined Morkovin 
have proved very hard, at Zhikhar Just in case grabbed them 
with you. 

  Returning back, hero found
massive oak door - he used to it
not noticed because of the frenzied roar. Busily
pulling the crowbar in order to open the door that
was firmly locked, Zhikhar soon
Time jammed it tightly. Spitting,
Hercules took a sword and then securely pinched and weapons. 
Discouraged staring at torus helplessly at the door and the 
sword and scrap vainly tugging them, he cried in their hearts:


  - Well, at least to those who helped! ..

  - And what exactly to help? - Inquired
a deep voice behind him. Zhikhar slowly
turning pleaded Propp, to an unknown benefactor was not some 
one-eyed monster, or worse, Parasites kultyapym ...


  - Ilyusha! - He cried, when at last
I saw the owner of the bass.

  - Zhiharka! And how I just do not know?
- Said Ilya of Murom and joyfully embraced
other - only chainmail crackled from the knightly arms.

  - So what fate, Ilyusha? - Asked in amazement Zhikhar.

  - Yes, I immediately rode to the king, behold - your
marks on the road!

  - Wait, how did you know that they are mine? -
Zhikhar amazed.

  - Oh, Zhiharka, become old - signs of dogs to distinguish you 
will! 

  Zhikharev could only envy
heroic experience of Murom.

  - Well, - he continued - I saw
your tracks and realized that you went Kashchei
beat - he was going, but once everything was.
But the market will be the king, you better tell me
that for the help you need?

  - Respecting, but this damned door open I can not ...

  - Well, let me try - and a run, with a crash knocked Muromets 
barrier. 

  - Thank you, brother! Now, as a squint, before Kashchei 
little left - gleefully told Zhikhar. 

  - Let him along side namni? - Suggested Murom.

  - No, Ilyusha should not be two good fellows in one attack - 
remember that jousting rules that it is difficult

taught Yar Tour.

  - Well, then the king to tell how it was - maybe, and Ivan 
with Yar-Tours will be there already ...


  Heroes said goodbye and went to the mansion Zhikhar Kashchei. 
After passing the dusty bedroom He turned left and found 
himself in the living room where unexpectedly svezheslozhennaya

brick wall - clay slowly slid
down. Still in disbelief, Zhikhar hesitantly kicked a boot new 
Kashchei nasty, but only hurt - a wall was left whole. Ilya of 
Murom is already far away, and not-to-face warrior klikakt 
about using a second times.


  Pulling out the remaining belongings, Hercules angrily spat - 
in his hands were only lamp so strange Morkovin.


  - Ah, yes damn you are lost! - He shouted and threw them into 
a vicious wall ... 

  ... Ten minutes after the deafening roar of Zhikhar barely 
came to his senses and to puschemu surprise and delight, he saw 
on the ground wall miserable pile of bricks. Jumping, he felt 
something hit hard on the fingers of his right leg - it was an 
egg not a bird. Taking it in one hand, and

another - brickbat, hero in this
Heroic as confidently stepped right in
white stone chambers Kashchei.

  However, there was nobody could not see. Suddenly
one of the curtains, in an abundance of hanging around
walls, leaning, and there was Kashchei Immortal.

  He was dressed in shiny leather coat
black with cut sexes. This
strange clothes were obveshena silver
chains and bells with trinkets. Kashchei
menacing glance at the guest and suddenly began to speak the 
ancient language: 

  - Well, like, done with you, hanurikom, s?

  - Now you have me poplyashesh - said
Zhikhar, wondering how he can make
him to do so.

  - Wha? Yeah I'm heavy in nature, will throw in a donkey!
Or not, I thee, in cherevyaka, type
will make! Well, you and hit, dude! .. - And porridge with a 
nasty grin, take something whisper under her breath.


  - And you have me in his ugly face get, by this
rotten egg! - Shouted and threw Zhikhar
him straight in the face host.

  Seeing the flying egg Kashchei with fear
vytraschil eyes and tried to catch it
hands, but not in time. Egg with a sharp crack
smashed on his chest villain, and then suddenly threw acrid 
green smoke, which Wildly screaming Kashchei, in the tradition 
of all miroedskih byak disappeared ... 


  Bogatyr hurried away from the castle, and returned to prison, 
he saw there with Ivan Tsarevich Yar-Tours - a joyful embrace 
them almost forgot about Vasilisa, if not the liberator. He 
took a miraculously survived the crown and handed it Vasilisa 
the Beautiful, which has suffered all of them in the air 
directly into imperial mansion. However, Zhikhar with Yar-Tour

managed to still not get to the king, and in
Tea country, but that's another
story ...
