"Listen," said the fish, "it seems that I am destined to escape from your grasp,

Then take me home and cut me into six pieces: let your wife eat two, your horses eat two, and bury the other two in the ground, and they will bless you. "The fisherman took the fish home and did as the fish said. Time passed quickly, and two golden lotuses grew on the place where the fish was buried, and the horse gave birth to two golden foals, and the fisherman's wife gave birth to two golden foals. Two children were born, all covered with gold. The children grew up to be tall and handsome lads, and the lotus and the colt grew up. Then they begged, "Father, we want to ride out into the world on our golden horses. "He replied sadly: "If you are all gone, how can I rest assured, how can I know your situation? They said, "The two golden lotus flowers are not here." Look at them and you'll know what's happening to us: if they're bright and beautiful, we're healthy; if they're wilted, we're sick; if they're wilted, we're dead too. "They set off on horseback. They entered a hotel and found that there were many people in it. As soon as they saw the two golden children, they began to make fun of them. One of the brothers couldn't bear the ridicule of the crowd, and gave up the idea of ​​​​going into the world. Going back to the house to accompany the old father. The other insisted on riding forward and came to a big forest. He was about to go in, when someone beside him advised him: "It's not safe for you to ride through the forest. The forest is full of bandits, and they are not good people. Once you get sick and they find you and your horse covered in gold, they will kill you for sure. ’ But he secretly encouraged himself and said: ‘I must and can ride over. " Then he took the bear's skin and put it on himself and the horse, so that their golden bodies would not be seen by others, and he went into the wood without fear. After walking a short distance, he heard a noise in the jungle, and someone Speaking: Someone shouted: "Here comes one. The other side replied: "Don't pay attention to this bear-skinned man. He looks as poor as a mouse in a church. What value can he have on him?" ” So the golden child walked out of the forest happily and safely.

One day he went into a village and saw a very beautiful girl, the most beautiful girl in the world in his eyes. He was immediately conquered by the great power of love, and he stepped forward to confess to the girl: "I love you, I love you with all my heart, will you marry me?" The girl also admired him deeply, so she agreed Said: "Yes, I am willing to marry you and grow old with you forever." They got married, and the wedding day was very sweet. Asked: "Where is the groom?" Others pointed him to the golden boy who was still wearing bear skin. When the father saw it, he was furious: "A man in a bear's skin will never marry my daughter!" After saying that, he was about to kill him. The bride begged bitterly: "He is my husband, and I love him with all my heart!" The father finally calmed down, but he couldn't let go of this idea. The next day he got up early to see if his son-in-law was happy Really a ragged beggar. Unexpectedly, when he secretly looked into the room, he saw a man covered in golden light lying on the bed, and the worn bear skin lay on the ground. He came back and sighed secretly: "It's a blessing that I can restrain myself in time! Otherwise, I would be truly unforgivable." At this time, the golden child was sleeping. He dreamed that he rode out to hunt a beautiful stag and woke up in the morning. When he came, he said to his wife, "I must go hunting." She was disturbed, and begged him to stay at home, and advised him, "You will be in trouble." But he answered, "I must go."

He arose, mounted his horse, and rode into the forest, and a little way on, he saw crossing his path a handsome stag, which was indeed the stag of his dream. When he took aim and was about to shoot, the deer ran away. He chased it tirelessly through bushes and ditches for a whole day, and when it was dark the stag disappeared from sight. The golden baby looked around and found that she was standing in front of a small house with a witch sitting inside. He knocked on the door, and the little old woman came out and asked, "What are you doing in this big wood so late?"

"Did you see a deer?"

"Yes," she answered, "I know where the deer is." Just then a little dog ran out of the house, and barked viciously at him.

"Stop yelling, you bully," he said, "if you yell again, I'll kill you." Not wanting to annoy the witch, she yelled: "What, you dare to kill my puppy?" Immediately turning him into a stone, he lay there alone, while his bride waited in vain for him, thinking, "This must be the thing that I most dread and dread!" At home , his brother stood in front of the golden lotus, and saw one of them suddenly wither.

"My God!" he cried, "something must have happened to my brother! I must try to save him." But the father said, "Stay here, and what shall I do if I lose you?" He insisted: "I have to go!"

So he rode his golden horse on the road into the forest, and found his brother who had turned to stone. The old witch came out of the house and stopped him, trying to trap him too, but he wouldn't let her come near, and threatened, "If you don't bring my brother back to life, I'll shoot you." Not happy, but he had to tap the stone with his index finger, and his brother immediately returned to his human form. The two golden babies met again, and they were very happy, hugging and kissing each other, and rode away from the forest together, and then the one went home to his bride, and the other to his father. As soon as they met the old father, he said: "I already know that you saved your brother, because the golden lotus suddenly stood up again and bloomed." From then on, their lives were happy and prosperous.
