The king orders the footman to cook salmon. The queen eats, the footman feeds his wife, the broth is given to the ox to drink. All three give birth to boys, all Ivans. Ivan Volovich (IV) is the strongest. Ivan Tsarevich (IC) and Ivan Lakeich (IL) are afraid of him and secretly leave. Eve takes the best horse that the king never gave to anyone, catches up. They put up a tent at the bridge, and they agree to watch by lot. The first night, IL asks IV to replace him. At midnight, a trembled kite rides, speaks in three voices: someone is under the bridge, but he is only afraid of EVE, and he is not here, and if he were, he would put him in the palm of his hand and swat the other, he would stay mud and water. Eve suggests measuring his strength, cutting off three heads in half. The brothers are sleeping. Eve promises to unfasten them, they swear not to sleep. Now the IC is asking to replace him. At midnight, a six-headed serpent rides, boasting 6 votes. Eve blows 6 heads away with two blows, the brothers are sleeping. Eve hits them on the shoulders, they cry. On the third night, the 9-headed serpent, the same. Eve cut down six heads with three blows, calls his brothers, they are sleeping, he threw his boot at them, they come running. The serpent laughs at them, at which point Eve cuts off his last three heads. The brothers are going to inspect snake dwellings. The first palace is empty, but there is plenty of food, the second is better, the prince's daughter is there, they promise to pick her up on the way back, the third house is the best, there is a royal daughter, carried away a year ago, the brothers put her on an IC horse, the second, on an IL horse, they go to their kingdom. The brothers get married, their fathers and mothers are happy, and Eve's wedding is watered. An unknown old woman brings him drunk to the underground king Semera Vilishchi. This is the mother of slaughtered snakes, and she asks for punishment for his three sons killed. The king of Semera Vilshcha says: "Well, bring my seven forks and stretch my eyebrows, I'll see what punishment I give him." They bring him seven forks and stretch his long eyebrows. He demands to go far away, far away seas, bring him Elena Krasa Golden Braid, otherwise death. On the way, Eve takes with him an old man walking around a herd of horses, an old man who can't eat bread, an old man who can't drink a river, an old man who's cold under seven fur coats, an old man the stargazer who needs to see all the stars in the sky, the old man from the garden who knows all the flowers, even the unborn ones; they all promise to show up when they are remembered. The king will give his daughter if EVE completes the tasks: eat all the bread in the city, drink water from the river, take a steam bath; the old people do everything; ride around the animal horse - the old man goes around, breaking three rods. The king marries Eve, sends her home when they reach the flower garden, Elena asks if he is taking her for himself or for King Semera Vilishchi. He says it's for himself. She catches him in a lie, turns into a flower. An old gardener finds it and restores its human appearance. They're going further. Elena asks if he is carrying her for himself or for Tsar Semera Vilishchi. Eve says what's for herself. She turns into a star and flies into the sky. The old stargazer sees her in the sky, flies to the sky, brings her back. This is the third time Eve confesses. Elena: Semyry-Vilshcha will ask if he had fun with his wife on the way, he will not believe the answer, but will prepare a test in the form of a pit with burning resin, snakes and reptiles, and a shaft will be laid above it, will offer to cross the shaft. Eve must say that he does not believe that the king did not ride the horse he left behind during this time. He will go, and Eve must turn the wheel at the end of the shaft. Seme-Vilshcha falls, burns in a pit with resin. Eve and Elena take the treasury and go to his kingdom. The brothers are happy.

The fish is eaten by the queen, the maid and the bull (he gets the garbage), on the same day they have sons: Ivan Tsarevich, Ivan Devi and Ivan-Bykovich, grow up by months, do not feel their strength - they are maimed in games other kids. The children's parents are complaining. Three fellows go to the field, meet an old man, he says that going to the right will kill their horses, and to the left will kill them. They return to the king, asking for horses, Ivan Bykovich does not find a horse in the royal stable. He asks the blacksmith to tie a hundred pounds of club, throws it up so that he can hardly see it, catches it easily (his hand does not move), asks him to tie a club of two hundred, then three hundred pounds. He throws the last one, and she comes back quickly, he almost drops it when he catches it. At the crossroads, the fellows turn right, throw a tent at the Iron Bridge and agree to watch one by one. The first two fellows fall asleep on guard, instead of them with a 3-headed one, and the next night, Ivan Bykovich fights with 6-headed Pogany Idol. It invites Ivan to blow into the open field, but he gives way to Idolishch, it blows, and all living things burn three miles in the field. While she admires her work, Ivan cuts off her heads. In the morning, Ivan Tsarevich and Ivan Devi say that they did not sleep at night and did not see anyone. When it comes to Ivan Bykovich's turn, he leaves a knife to his comrades and warns that if he bleeds, they must run to the bridge. The beginning of the fight repeats, Ivan cuts down 8 heads from Idolishche, the latter remains, he asks for permission to take off his left boot, launches him into the tent, then the right one - the brothers wake up and see that the knife is covered in blood, they help to fight, go waist-deep into the ground and defeat Idolishche. Three fellows come to the big house, Ivan Bykovich turns into a "goosebumps", overhears how inside an old woman ("nose to ceiling") advises daughters-in-law, wives of three Idolishches, to take revenge on Ivan, turn around poisoned with spring water, berries, and a golden bed. Ivan Bykovich saves his brothers from death three times, water, berries and a bed turned into women when they began to cut them, their heads were cut off. They hear the chase, they hide in the forge. The old woman demands that the blacksmith give them away, he asks her to stick his tongue through the door, and hits him with a copper, tin and iron rod, only the tin rod does not tear. The old woman turns into a horse, Ivan Bykovich saddles it, the old man asks if Ivan will give up his horse if he manages to overtake him, Ivan agrees and loses. The old man hangs his horse on his horse, promises to return it if Ivan gets Elena the Beautiful for him. Ivan Bykovich agrees, he meets Yaryshek on the way ("a thin leg, a golden cap, his forehead is covered, his eyes are out"), one knows how to carry people across the sea, the other to marry, the third to wash in the bath, the 4th carry people in space ("from place to place"), eat the 5th bread, drink water on the 6th, meets a woman who can travel 3 miles in 3 hours. He takes everyone with her. He meets three more Yaryshki: one brags: "I'm buzzing with a foot", the second can shoot with a cream, and the third catches what falls to the ground. One Yaryshko takes a spoon out of his pocket and carries everyone across the sea. The other performs the king's task - washing in a very hot bath ("heat for five soots"), the third goes to marry. The king locks visitors in a ram and sets them on fire, Yaryshko takes them to a safe place. The king makes you eat all the bread in the city, Yaryshko eats everything. The other drinks all the water in her magpies in the city's shops. The Tsar promises to give his daughter if the visitors drink all the water in the well, Yaryshko drinks. Then she orders the princess to get a dress from the state far away in 3 hours, send the old woman, on the way back she falls asleep, Yaryshko "whipped with a foot", she woke up and arrived on time. The king gives his daughter. Yaryshko carried the first one across the sea, at night the princess flies to heaven and turns into a star. Yaryshko saw an extra star in the sky, another shot a cream, the latter caught a shooting star and gave it to Ivan Bykovich. The princess does not want to marry the old man, and persuades Ivan to deceive him when he asks him to walk on the boards above the hole and let him go first. He does so, loosens one of the boards, the old man falls into a hole on "iron sperm".
