Central Europe. Russians (Arkhangelsk Bay, Onega Bay of the White Sea) [In the forest, a peasant wants to shoot a bird, it asks to feed it for a week - it will come in handy. A week later, she hits the tree with its beak - the beak trembles, the peasant feeds for another week - the oak has staggered, a week later the bird bites the tree and it falls. He leads the farmer at the expense. In three kingdoms, this Nagoya bird has a sister; the sisters of the silver and gold kingdoms feel sorry to pay the ransom, and the sister of the third {obviously copper} gives the casket. The bird takes the farmer to his way home. He lost his way, opened the casket - a chamber appears and all he needs is closed the box.
