Nikolaevsk, kr. Aniken Kavunov, 50 years old, illiterate) [The tsar lived, wanted to marry - went to foreign lands. I traveled to other kingdoms three times and did not find a wife. He returns from the third kingdom, goes to the village, sleeps with a man. The horse coachman took him to water and let go of the bucket. He looks - it's dark everywhere, only the hut is shining. I went there to get a bucket, went to the window, saw three girls sitting talking. They say about the king and groom and that he will not find brides more beautiful than them. The eldest says that if she married her, she would feed his entire army with bread alone; the middle says that if she took her, she would cover his entire army with one needle, and the youngest says that if she took her, she would she gave birth to 12 falcon sons: "A month in his forehead, a star on the back of his head, and silver on the elbow!" The coachman, without asking for a bucket, reports everything to the king. The king goes to marry, chooses a smaller one and takes her to his kingdom. Here they live, his wife is pregnant. "There's an alarm here," and the king must leave town. He punishes his wife to write to him if he gives birth to someone and leaves. Two months later, she gives birth to 12 falcon sons, writes a letter to the king and sends a messenger to him. The sisters found out that their sister had given birth and bought shanks for themselves on the way. A messenger comes to his older sister in a tire, she finds out what his errands are, sends him to the bathhouse, and replaces the letters herself, writing to the king that "I gave birth to you, my darling, 12 pieces - cat legs, mouse tails, dog mouths." The next night, a messenger stops in another shank, and the middle sister stops there. She also got to the point, sent him to the bathhouse, and replaced the letter herself. She wrote even worse than the eldest one. A messenger comes to the king, the king reads a letter, cries, writes an answer - to wait for his wife. On the way back, the messenger visits both sisters again in their shanks, they send him back to the bathhouse and replace letters (one worse than the other) to ruin his sister and sons. The messenger brings a letter to the queen, she reads, cries, but there is nothing to do. He tells me to make a barrel with iron hoops, puts 11 sons there - "If I'm not a sinful soul, you will live!" − and lets them into the sea. She takes her younger 12th son, comes from the kingdom, finds a monastery and there she becomes a worker, and gives her son to study. He learns fast - "as he has learned in one year, as the other 10 years study." He grew up big and calls his mother from the monastery to make his own house. They came to the sea, built a house for themselves and started trading. Cabbies were walking that road, and their mare necklaces - they gave that foal to the prince. The sailors came, he treats them and greets them. He goes to see them off, goes to his horse. And he says to him, "climb on me and fall off me, you will turn into a dove, fly to the sailor, sit on his right shoulder, he will bring you to the royal chambers, and you listen to what the king and the queen are talking to will be (it was his older sister who became his wife). That's what he did. The sailor told the king about his widow and her son, who could not be more beautiful than that they had built a house for themselves on the other side of the sea. The king wants to go, but his wife dissuades him - is that marvelous! She talks about another wonder - an oak tree, there are 12 roosters on it, each rooster has a bright woman, each lady has 12 girls, they sew expensive clothes and throw them away - there is no one to wear them. The dove hears everything and flies back. He flies to a horse, sits on it and falls, turns into a human being. The horse asks what the king and queen talked about. Ivan recounts and asks the horse to help him get this wonder. The horse tells Ivan to ask for his mother's blessing and set off. That's what he does. Ivan comes on his horse to that oak tree, tells him that he is standing in the wrong place, and if he went to his kingdom, they would wear all these clothes there and "and they asked God for you!" Oak agrees and follows Ivan. Everyone marvels at the miracle. This story (the arrival of sailors - advice with a horse - flying a dove - an overheard conversation between the king, queen and sailor - the king's desire to go to watch the wonder - his wife's excuses and her story of a new miracle - the return of the pigeon - advice with a horse - receiving a mother's blessing - a trip for a miracle - a miracle willingly goes to Ivan's kingdom) is then repeated 5 more times (i.e. 6 in total). After (1) oak, other miracles: (2) a pole, a cuckoo on the pole: "what kuknya, duck a soldier from yae fart" - with a horse, and with a saddle, and ready for war, but they have nothing to eat, they starve to death; (3) wild boar He plows his snout, harrows its hooves, sows its tail, at 3 days bread ripens, but there is no one to eat it, and dies; (4) the river - jelly banks, "come - eat, and destroy your bags!" You eat it, it regrows; (5) 11 brothers in a cell by the sea live and do not know that they are brothers from the same mother and one father; (6) the bridge from the royal porch to Ivan's Palace, "the golden bridge yes silver, the poles are standing, the lanterns are burning, the firebirds are singing." The miracles collected in Ivan's kingdom no longer work idle: "The oak sews clothes, the cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo, the soldiers jump out, put on clothes, the boar sows bread, the soldier eats bread, goes to the river - he came, ate, I went to live, to the cagelnya (a brick factory or a clay quarry - K. B.) do different jobs." Differences in cases (5) and (6): (5) After listening to Ivan's story about a miracle with 11 brothers in the same cell, the horse advises him to ask his mother not just for a blessing, but for her to bake her breast milk from her breast milk Ivan comes to his cell, the horse advises him to go inside and instead of the sweep that will be on the table, put his own, from breast milk, and hide himself. That's what he did. A barrel comes from the sea, 11 fellows come out of it, go into the cell, the elder divides the swirl into 11 parts, everyone eats, looks at each other, cries, recognizes themselves as brothers, asks the one they want to leave Ivan brought it, Ivan comes out, everyone is kissing, and now there are 12 brothers together; Ivan sits on a horse, the brothers in a barrel, and go to his kingdom, his mother meets them, a feast. (6) The sailor tells the king that there is no longer 1 wonderful cotton in Ivan's kingdom, but 12, the tsar wants to go, his wife says that it is dangerous for them to go by sea, they will drown, and if there was a bridge... (see description above); after listening to Ivan's story about this task, the horse advises him to go to his brothers and tell them to "read old books before dawn and pray to God faithfully", and he himself should "take an ax, step into the yard, cut colas, drive colas into the ground, try so that blood from it was flowing." So he did - the bridge was ready by dawn. The king father harnessed his horses and drove across the bridge, greeted him with bread and salt, he was about to leave, and the mother of 12 heroes gives him a book that she wrote herself, how she left his court, the king reads and cuts off his second wife head - life got better], 21 [In a certain kingdom, the prince fell in love with a maid, began to marry, she promised that they would have 3 sons (one has a month in his forehead, a dawn on the back of his head, the sun in his forehead, the back of the star, and the third one is great). The first two babies are replaced by a villain woman with ordinary children. The prince sends his wife and third son in a barrel by sea, the son deals with it and breaks the barrel. He carves twelve fellows out of his mother's flint. By order of a daredevil, they build a house out of gold and silver logs, cook a lot of food and drink, and make bridges to both banks from gold and silver boards. The sailors ask for lunch, bring the daredevil to the royal house as payment; he, wearing an invisible hat, overhears their conversation with the king. The king asks if they have seen the wreckage of a barrel on the sea, hears about the house made of gold and silver, and wants to go see it. Baba talks about a garden with golden and silver apple trees and a pine tree, where a red cat sings songs when it goes down and tells fables when it goes up. The daring man comes back and again carves twelve fellows out of the flint, who, on his orders, attach this garden to his house. He feeds the sailors again and gets to the royal house, overhears the conversation. The sailors talk about the garden. In response, the woman is about a pig with gold and silver hair that digs and falls wheat from under it - twelve fellows do not have time to shovel. He carves the fellows out of the flint again, they deliver them to the pig. The sailors next time tell the king about the pig, and the woman, in response to the garden with golden and silver apple trees, where there are two fellows - one has a month in his forehead, dawns on the back of his head, the sun in his forehead, at the back of a star's head. Well done, he orders the fellows to take the brothers to their home from the flint. The king comes, marvels at home, sees his wife and sons, cries, and his wife cries too. Daredevil: It was my grandmother who stole my brothers and I brought them here. They returned to the royal house, the woman was tied to a horse's tail as punishment, and the tsar moved to live with his family]: 169−178, 199-201 (similar version in Romanov 1901, No. 18 (21): 178−188).
