The proverb minute saves the hour. Class hour on the topic: "A minute saves an hour"
The old man had three sons: two smart ones, and the third Ivanushka the Fool; day and night the fool lies on the stove.
The old man sowed wheat, and rich wheat grew, and someone got into the habit of crushing and poisoning that wheat at night. Here the old man says to the children:
My dear children, guard the wheat every night in turn, catch me a thief.
The first night arrives. The eldest son went to guard the wheat, but he wanted to sleep: he climbed into the hayloft and slept until morning. He comes home in the morning and says: he didn’t sleep all night, he was cold, but he didn’t see the thief.
On the second night, the middle son went and also slept all night in the hayloft.
On the third night, it's the fool's turn to go. He took the lasso and went. He came to the border and sat on a stone: he sits - does not sleep, the thief is waiting.
At midnight, a motley horse galloped into the wheat: one hair is golden, the other is silver, it runs - the earth trembles, smoke pours out of its ears, flames blaze from its nostrils. And that horse began to eat wheat: not so much eating as trampling.
The fool crept up on all fours to the horse and at once threw a lasso around his neck. The horse rushed with all his might - it was not there. The fool rested, the lasso presses his neck. And here the horse of the fool began to pray:
Let me go, Ivanushka, and I will do you a great service!
Good, - answers Ivan the Fool. - Yes, how can I find you then?
Go outside the outskirts, - says the horse, - whistle three times and shout: “Sivka-burka, prophetic kaurka! Stand before me like a leaf before grass!” - I'll be here.
Ivanushka the Fool let go of the horse and took a word from him - no more wheat and no more trampling.
Ivanushka came home.
Well, fool, did you see? the brothers ask.
I caught, - says Ivanushka, - a motley horse. He promised not to go into the wheat again - so I let him go.
The brothers laughed their hearts out at the fool, but since that night no one has touched the wheat.
Soon after that, biryuchs (heralds) from the tsar began to go around the villages and cities, calling a call: get together, de, boyars and nobles, merchants and philistines and ordinary peasants, all to the tsar for a holiday, for three days; take the best horses with you; and whoever rides his horse to the princess’s tower and removes the ring from the princess’s hand, the king will give the princess in marriage.
Ivanushkin's brothers also began to gather for the holiday: not so much to ride themselves, but at least to look at others. Ivanushka also asks with them.
Where are you, fool! the brothers say. Do you want to scare people? Sit on the stove and pour the ashes.
The brothers left, and Ivanushka the Fool took a basket from his daughter-in-law and went to take mushrooms. Ivanushka went out into the field, threw the basket, whistled three times and shouted:
The horse runs - the earth trembles, flames from the ears, smoke pours from the nostrils. He ran - and the horse stood in front of Ivanushka as if rooted to the spot.
Well, - he says, - get in, Ivanushka, into my right ear, and get out into my left.
Ivanushka climbed into the horse's right ear, and climbed out into the left - and became such a fine fellow that he could not think of it, or guess, or tell in a fairy tale.
Then Ivanushka mounted a horse and galloped off to the tsar's feast. He galloped to the square in front of the palace, he sees - the people are visible, invisible; and in a high chamber, by the window, the princess sits: on her hand is a ring - there is no price, she is a beauty of beauties. No one jumps before her and thinks: no one wants to break their neck for sure.
Here Ivanushka hit his horse on the steep hips, the horse got angry, jumped - only three crowns before the princess of the window did not jump.
The people were surprised, and Ivanushka turned his horse and galloped back. His brothers did not quickly step aside, so he whipped them with a silk whip. The people are shouting: "Hold it, hold it!" - and Ivanushkin has already caught a trace.
Ivan rode out of the city, dismounted from his horse, climbed into his left ear, climbed out into his right, and again became the former Ivan the Fool. Ivanushka let go of the horse, picked up a basket of fly agaric and brought it home.
Here you are, hostesses, fungi, - he says.
Here the daughters-in-law got angry at Ivan:
What did you, fool, bring for mushrooms? Are you the only one to eat them!
Ivan chuckled and climbed onto the stove again.
The brothers came home and told their father how they were in the city and what they saw, and Ivanushka was lying on the stove and laughing.
The next day, the older brothers went to the holiday again, and Ivanushka took a basket and went for mushrooms. He went out into the field, whistled, barked:
Sivka-burka, prophetic kaurka! Stand before me like a leaf before grass!
A horse came running and stood in front of Ivanushka as if rooted to the spot.
Ivan dressed up again and galloped to the square. He sees that there are even more people in the square than before; everyone admires the princess, but no one thinks to jump: who wants to break his neck! Here Ivanushka hit his horse on the steep hips, the horse became angry, jumped - and only two crowns before the princess did not get the window. Ivanushka turned his horse, lashed the brothers so that they stood aside, and galloped away.
The brothers come home, and Ivanushka is already lying on the stove, listening to what the brothers are telling, and chuckles.
On the third day, the brothers again went to the holiday, and Ivanushka rode up. He whipped his horse with a whip. The horse was more angry than ever: he jumped and reached the window. Ivanushka kissed the princess and galloped off, not forgetting to hit his brothers with a whip. At this point, both the tsar and the princess began to shout: “Hold him, hold him!” - and Ivanushkin caught a trace.
Ivanushka came home - one hand was wrapped in a rag.
What do you have? - Ivan's daughters-in-law ask.
Why, - he says, - looking for mushrooms, he pricked himself with a knot. - And Ivan climbed onto the stove.
The brothers came and began to tell what had happened and how. And Ivanushka on the stove wanted to look at the ring: as he lifted the rag, the whole hut lit up.
Stop fiddling with fire, fool! the brothers shouted at him. - You'll burn down the hut. It's time you, fool, completely drive out of the house!
Three days later, a cry comes from the king, so that all the people, no matter how many there are in his kingdom, gather to him for a feast and that no one dares to stay at home, and whoever disdains the royal feast - his head is off his shoulders.
There is nothing to do here, the old man himself went to the feast with his whole family.
They came, sat down at oak tables; they drink and eat, they speak.
At the end of the feast, the princess began to carry honey from her hands around. She went around everyone, coming up to Ivanushka the last; and the fool is wearing a thin dress, covered in soot, hair on end, one hand tied with a dirty rag ... just passion. |
Why is it with you, well done, your hand is tied? - asks the princess. - Untie it.
Ivanushka untied his hand, and on the finger of the princess there was a ring - so it shone on everyone.
Then the princess took the fool by the hand, led him to her father and said:
Here, father, is my betrothed.
The servants washed Ivanushka, combed his hair, dressed him in a royal dress, and he became such a fine fellow that his father and brothers look - and do not believe their eyes.

There was an old man who had three sons. Everyone called the younger Ivanushka the Fool.
Once an old man sowed wheat. Good wheat was born, but only someone got into the habit of crushing and trampling that wheat.
Here the old man says to his sons:
- My dear children! Guard the wheat every night in turn, catch the thief!
The first night has come.
The eldest son went to guard the wheat, but he wanted to sleep. He climbed into the hayloft and slept until morning.
Comes home in the morning and says:
“I didn’t sleep all night, guarding the wheat!” Izzyab all, but did not see the thief.
On the second night, the middle son went. And he slept all night in the hayloft.
On the third night, Ivanushka the Fool's turn comes.
He put the cake in his bosom, took the rope and went. He came to the field, sat on a stone. He sits awake, chews the pie, waits for the thief.
At midnight, a horse galloped up to the wheat - one hair was silver, the other was gold; he runs - the earth trembles, smoke pours out of his ears in a column, flames burst out of his nostrils.
And that horse began to eat wheat. Not so much eating as trampling with hooves.
Ivanushka crept up to the horse and immediately threw a rope around his neck.
The horse rushed with all its might - it was not there! Ivanushka jumped up on him deftly and grabbed tightly by the mane.
Already the horse wore, wore it across the open field, galloped, galloped - he could not throw it off!
The horse began to ask Ivanushka:
- Let me go, Ivanushka, to freedom! I will do you a great service for this. 
“Okay,” Ivanushka replies, “I’ll let you go, but how can I find you later?”
- And you go out into the open field, into the wide expanse, whistle three times with a valiant whistle, bark with a heroic cry: “Sivka-burka, prophetic kaurka, stand in front of me like a leaf in front of grass!” - I'll be here.
Ivanushka released the horse and took from him a promise to never eat or trample wheat again.
Ivanushka came home in the morning. 
“Well, tell me, what did you see there?” the brothers ask.
- I caught, - says Ivanushka, - a horse - one hair is silver, the other is gold.
- Where is the horse?
- Yes, he promised not to go to the wheat anymore, so I let him go. The brothers did not believe Ivanushka, they laughed at him plenty. But since that night, no one really touched the wheat ...

And that horse began to eat wheat. Not so much eating as trampling with hooves.
Ivanushka crept up to the horse and immediately threw a rope around his neck.

The horse began to ask Ivanushka:
- Let me go, Ivanushka, to freedom! I will do you a great service for this.
- Well, - Ivanushka answers, - I'll let you go, but how can I find you later?
- And you go out into the open field, into the wide expanse, whistle three times with a valiant whistle, bark with a heroic shout: “Sivka-burka, prophetic kaurka, stand in front of me like a leaf in front of grass!” - I'll be here.
Ivanushka released the horse and took from him a promise to never eat or trample wheat again.
Ivanushka came home in the morning.
Well, tell me, what did you see there? the brothers ask.
- I caught, - says Ivanushka, - a horse - one hair is silver, the other is gold.
- Where is that horse?
- Yes, he promised not to go to the wheat, so I let him go.
The brothers did not believe Ivanushka, they laughed at him plenty. But since that night, no one really touched the wheat ...
Soon after that, the king sent messengers to all the villages, to all the cities, to call out:
- Gather, boyars and nobles, merchants and ordinary peasants, to the king's courtyard. The tsar's daughter Elena the Beautiful is sitting in her high chamber by the window. Whoever rides a horse to the princess and removes a golden ring from her hand, she will marry him!
On the indicated day, the brothers are going to go to the royal court - not to jump themselves, but at least to look at others. And Ivanushka asks them:
- Brothers, give me at least some horse, and I'll go and look at Elena the Beautiful!
- Where are you, fool! Do you want to make people laugh? Sit on the stove and pour the ashes!
The brothers left, and Ivan the Fool said to his brother's wives:
- Give me a basket, I'll even go to the forest - I'll pick mushrooms!
He took a basket and went, as if picking mushrooms.
Ivanushka went out into an open field, into a wide expanse, threw a basket under a bush, and he himself whistled with a valiant whistle, barked with a heroic shout:
Whatever, Ivanushka?
- I want to look at the royal daughter Elena the Beautiful! - Ivanushka replies.
- Well, get into my right ear, get out into my left!
Ivanushka climbed into the horse's right ear, and climbed out into the left - and became such a fine fellow that he could not think of it, not guess it, not tell it in a fairy tale, not describe it with a pen! I sat on the Sivka-burka and galloped straight to the city.
He caught up with his brothers on the road, galloped past them, showered them with road dust.
Ivanushka galloped to the square - straight to the royal palace. He looks - apparently invisible to the people, and in a high tower, by the window, sits Princess Elena the Beautiful. On her hand, the ring sparkles - it has no price! And she is the beauty of beauties.
Everyone looks at Elena the Beautiful, but no one dares to jump to her: no one wants to break his neck.
Here Ivanushka Sivka-burka struck on the steep sides ... The horse snorted, neighed, jumped - only three logs did not jump to the princess.
The people were surprised, and Ivanushka turned Sivka and galloped away.
Everyone screams:
- Who is that? Who is that?
And Ivanushki was already gone. They saw where he rode from, did not see where he rode.
Ivanushka rushed into the open field, jumped off his horse, climbed into his left ear, and climbed out into his right and became, as before, Ivanushka the Fool.
He released Sivka-burka, picked up a full basket of fly agarics and brought home:
- Eva, what fungi are good!
The brothers' wives got angry at Ivanushka and let's scold him:
- What kind of mushrooms did you bring, you fool? You are the only one to eat them!
Ivanushka chuckled, climbed onto the stove and sat. The brothers returned home and told their wives what they had seen in the city:
- Well, mistresses, what a fine fellow came to the king! We have never seen anything like this. Before the princess, only three logs did not jump.
And Ivanushka lies on the stove and chuckles:
“Fellow brothers, wasn’t it me there?”
- Where are you, fool, there to be! Sit on the stove and catch flies!
The next day, the elder brothers went to the city again, and Ivanushka took a basket and went for mushrooms.
He went out into an open field, into a wide expanse, threw a basket, he himself whistled with a valiant whistle, barked with a heroic cry:
- Sivka-burka, prophetic kaurka, stand in front of me, like a leaf in front of grass!
The horse is running, the earth is trembling, smoke is pouring out of the ears, flames are bursting from the nostrils.
He ran and stood in front of Ivanushka as if rooted to the spot.
Ivanushka Sivke Burke climbed into his right ear, crawled out into his left and became a fine fellow. He jumped on his horse and galloped to the yard.
He sees that there are even more people in the square than before. Everyone admires the princess, but no one thinks of jumping: they are afraid to break their neck!
Here Ivanushka hit his horse on the steep sides. Sivka-burka neighed, jumped - only two logs before the princess did not get the window.
Ivanushka Sivka turned and galloped away. They saw where he rode from, did not see where he rode.
And Ivanushka is already in the open field.
He released Sivka-burka, and he went home. He sat down on the stove, sitting, waiting for his brothers.
The brothers come home and say:
- Well, hostesses, the same fellow came again! I did not jump to the princess only by two logs.
Ivanushka and tells them:
- Sit down, fool, shut up! ..
On the third day, the brothers are going to go again, and Ivanushka says:
- Give me at least a poor little horse: I'll go with you too!
- Stay at home, fool! Only you are missing!
They said and left.
Ivanushka went out into an open field, into a wide expanse, whistled with a valiant whistle, barked with a heroic cry:
- Sivka-burka, prophetic kaurka, stand in front of me, like a leaf in front of grass!
The horse is running, the earth is trembling, smoke is pouring out of the ears, flames are bursting from the nostrils. He ran and stood in front of Ivanushka as if rooted to the spot.
Ivanushka climbed into the horse's right ear, climbed out into the left. The young man became well done and galloped to the royal palace.
Ivanushka galloped up to the high tower, lashed Sivka-burka with a whip ... The horse neighed louder than before, hit the ground with its hooves, jumped - and jumped to the window!
Ivanushka kissed Elena the Beautiful on her scarlet lips, removed the cherished ring from her finger and sped away. They just saw him!
Then everyone made a noise, shouted, waved their hands:
- Hold it! Catch him!
And Ivanushki was gone.
He released Sivka-burka, came home. One hand is wrapped in a cloth.
What happened to you? - ask the brothers' wives.
- Yes, I was looking for mushrooms, I pricked myself on a twig ...
And climbed into the oven.
The brothers returned, began to tell what and how it happened:
- Well, mistresses, that fellow this time jumped so much that he jumped to the princess and took the ring off her finger!
Ivanushka is sitting on the stove, so know your own:
- Brothers, wasn't it me there?
- Sit down, fool, don't talk in vain!
Here Ivanushka wanted to look at the princess's precious ring.
As he unwound the rag, so the whole hut shone!
Stop fiddling with fire, you fool! the brothers shout. - You'll burn down the hut. Time to get you out of the house!
Ivanushka did not answer them, and again tied the ring with a rag ...
Three days later, the king again called the cry: so that all the people, no matter how many in the kingdom, gathered for a feast and that no one dared to stay at home. And whoever disdains the royal feast, his head off his shoulders!
Nothing to do, the brothers went to the feast, and they took Ivanushka the Fool with them.
They arrived, sat down at oak tables, patterned tablecloths, drinking and eating, talking.
And Ivanushka climbed behind the stove, into a corner, and sits there.
Elena the Beautiful walks around, treating the guests. She brings wine and honey to each, and she herself looks to see if anyone has her cherished ring on her hand. Whoever has a shadow on his hand is her bridegroom.
Only no one has a ring visible ...
She went around everyone, coming to the last one - to Ivanushka. And he sits behind the stove, his clothes are thin, his bast shoes are torn, one arm is tied with a rag.
The brothers look and think: “Look, the princess brings wine to our Ivashka!”
And Elena the Beautiful gave Ivanushka a glass of wine and asked:
- Why is it with you, well done, your hand is tied?
- I went to the forest to pick mushrooms and pricked myself on a bough.
- Come on, untie, show me!
Ivanushka untied his hand, and on his finger the princess's cherished ring: it shines, it sparkles!
Elena the Beautiful was delighted, took Ivanushka by the hand, led her to her father and said:
- Here, father, my fiancé was found!
They washed Ivanushka, combed his hair, dressed him, and he became not Ivanushka the Fool, but a fine fellow, well done, you just don’t recognize it!
They didn’t wait and argue here - a fun feast and for the wedding!
I was at that feast, I drank honey-beer, it flowed down my mustache, but it didn’t get into my mouth.
