The heroes of these works are the owners of factories and mines, clerks, and ordinary workers.

There lived a guy named Ilya in a Ural village. He was an orphan. The deceased relatives - mother, father, grandfather, grandmother - did not leave Ilya any inheritance. the only valuable thing, inherited by the young man from deceased relatives - a sieve of feathers from grandmother Lukerya. During the funeral, they were stolen, only three feathers remained: white, black and red. Another dying grandmother told her grandson to avoid bad thoughts about wealth, because people suffer from them.

After burying Lukerya, Ilya went to work. He worked in a gold mine. At that time, the weather was hot, so the young man decided to go through the Zyuzelsko swamp. Usually they went along this road in the fall, but Ilya considered that the swamp had dried up due to the heat. At first he went to right direction but then got lost. In search of a road, a young man went out into a clearing, in the center of which was a key with clean water. Ilya wanted to get drunk, but suddenly he was very tired. He barely crawled to the side to rest a little. Suddenly, the guy noticed an old woman coming out of the water. She was dressed in a blue dress, with a scarf of the same color on her head. She was old, but her blue eyes shone with youth and enthusiasm.

The old woman held out her arms to Ilya, and the guy noticed that they began to lengthen. The young man was frightened, turned away and buried his nose in the feathers that Lukerya had left. He attached them to his hat so that he would always remember the order of his grandmother. From this he began to sneeze and immediately came to his senses. The guy got to his feet and began to taunt the old woman and her weakness: she could not raise her hands from the ground and reach him. Ilya guessed that the old woman was the one about whom the grandmother told. She guards the magic well. According to rumors, there are many riches in it, but few can get them. They argued for a long time, until Ilya promised to come to the well again. On that they parted.

Arriving at the mine, Ilya explained to the caretaker that he was late because of the funeral. He was asked about the feathers that were attached to the cap. The young man replied that they were charmed and valuable as a memory. One of the workers - Kuzka Dvoerylko - envied Ilya's mind, strength and hard work, therefore, at the first opportunity, he stole these feathers. Ilya searched for them for a long time, but did not find them. Kuzka began to follow Ilya to make sure that without feathers he would lose his luck. He saw how Ilya attached a long stick to the ladle, how on Sunday he went to the magic well and tried to outwit grandmother Sinyushka, to drink water from the well. The old woman appreciated Ilya's courage and dexterity and said that if he returns when the full moon is in the sky, he will receive a reward. Kuzka Dvoerylko heard their conversation and decided to get ahead of Ilya. Soon at the mine they noticed that he had disappeared. They searched for Kuzka for a long time, but they never found him.

When Ilya returned to the well, the old woman offered him gold twice and gems, which she held in her hands on a huge tray. Both times Ilya refused, motivating his decision by the fact that a person could not carry away so much wealth. For the third time, the old woman appeared in the form of a young girl. She gave Ilya a sieve left after the grandmother and stolen by someone, full wild berries. In the very center lay the treasured three feathers.

The girl was so beautiful that upon returning home, Ilya did not know peace. The stones into which the donated berries turned into did not console him. The guy used this money wisely, paid off the master, built a new hut, bought a horse, but never married. Ilya felt so bad that he decided to return to the well. But on the way I met a girl from neighboring village, which was very similar to the mistress of a magic well. They played a wedding, but their happiness was short-lived. Both died because they were in poor health.

He barely crawled to the side to rest a little. Suddenly, the guy noticed an old woman coming out of the water. She was dressed in a blue dress, with a scarf of the same color on her head.

One of the workers - Kuzka Dvoerylko - envied Ilya's mind, strength and hard work, therefore, at the first opportunity, he stole these feathers.

Kuzka Dvoerylko heard their conversation and decided to get ahead of Ilya. Soon at the mine they noticed that he had disappeared. They searched for Kuzka for a long time, but they never found him.

The guy lived on the mines. They called him Ilya. He had no one, only grandmother Lukerya. All that Ilya inherited from his parents is strong hands, cheerful disposition and fair character.

Before her death, grandmother Lukerya left Ilya’s order: to live honestly, not to chase after wealth, not to take someone else’s. And she also told about Grandma Sinyushka, who lives in a swamp and guards untold riches. She also left Ilya a full sieve with feathers. She said that they would bring him good luck and protect him from trouble.

Village old women helped to bury grandmother Ilya. He returned home from the cemetery, but there was nothing in the hut. The old women stole all grandmother's things, they did not even shun feathers. There are only three feathers left. The guy grieved that he did not save Babkin's inheritance, and went to the mine. The remaining three feathers, tied with a thread, attached to my hat.

To shorten the road, Ilya went through the swamp. I got to its middle and saw a window, and there was water in it. Suddenly he was drawn to sleep. With difficulty, he crawled to the hillock and lay down there. Then from that window a little old woman appeared, all in blue clothes. She wanted to grab Ilya and drag her away. Her hands are long, barely noticeable, she is drawn to him, but she cannot reach him. It can be seen that grandmother's feathers protect from trouble. Ilya realized that this was Grandma Sinyushka, whom Lukerya had told him about.

Sinyushka could not cope with Ilya by force, she decided to take it with cunning. I started teasing the guy. Ilya took courage and promised that on the first free day he would come and scoop all the water out of the window with a ladle. And then he went to the mine. But something alarmed the guy: either Babkin's eyes, or her young and sonorous voice.

At the mine, Ilya told what kind of inheritance he got. And he jokingly explained that these feathers are not simple, but charmed. Among the workers, a guy stood, his name was Kuzma. Was very greedy. He greatly envied Ilya for his skill at work and cheerful character. He believed in these stories and decided to first steal the feathers, and then follow Ilya. And so he did.

Ilya came to the swamp for the second time, trying to scoop up water with a ladle. He kept threatening to throw that water on Grandma Sinyushka. And she still laughed at him. She realized that with pure thoughts Ilya went to her in the swamp: he wanted to see how the grandmother turns into a girl. She ordered him to come on the full moon and be sure to say that he came without a ladle.

Kuzma was eavesdropping at that time, and decided to get ahead of Ilya, to come earlier. When the moon became full, the conversation at the mine began - Kuzma was gone. For the sake of appearance, they searched, and that was it.

The third time Ilya came to the swamp. I was not even afraid to appear without feathers, they disappeared somewhere. For a long time he argued with Grandma Sinyushka. Finally, she agreed to show herself to him in her girlish form and disappeared through the window. Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the forest. Ilya looked around and saw the girl. All her clothes are on of blue color, and a long braid with a blue ribbon. Never met such a beautiful guy. She handed him a sieve that had disappeared from the hut, full of various berries, and three feathers on top. The girl explained that Kuzma came to her for wealth, but he remained in that swamp. Only the feathers he had stolen floated to the surface. The girl said goodbye to Ilya and disappeared.

Ilya returned to his hut, looked into the heavier sieve, and there were gold bars and precious stones. With the help of these treasures, he bought himself free from the owner, built a house, started a household. Only the girl from the swamp cannot be forgotten. He decided to go there again. The girls came across, they went to the forest for berries. Among them, Ilya saw a girl - a copy of Grandma Sinyushka in the form of a girl. With her, Ilya found his fate. A new mine was opened in the swamp, but the well that Ilya spoke about was never found.

The tale teaches to live honestly, according to conscience, to work in joy. Remember that malice and greed are always punished.

What is the tale of Pavel Petrovich Bazhov about?

Lived in the plant Ilya. Soon he buried all his relatives. From Babka Lukerya, he inherited a special inheritance - a sieve with feathers, which she had been collecting throughout the village all her life. Grandmother Lukerya ordered Ilya not to run after wealth. Good will bring only the gold that Sinyushka herself will put in her hands. There were legends in the village that Sinyushka (grandmother with the voice of a girl) guards the wealth of the region.

After the funeral, grandmother Lukerya robbed Ilya. He pinned the remaining three feathers to his hat as a keepsake. It was they who saved him from Sinyushka.

Ilya went to the mine by a short road: through the Zyuzelsky swamp. He saw a place with clean water, like a well, he wanted to get drunk. Ilya's head was spinning, he lay down and could not get up. And from the well Sinyushka pulls her hands to him. Ilya buried himself in his hat, but hit Lukerya's feathers with his nose, began to sneeze, and felt better. He got to his feet and spat on Sinyushka's hand. Sinyushka began to provoke him that he would not be able to drink water from her well. Ilya promised her to return to this place on a windy day.

At the mine, Ilya said that he was late because he was burying his grandmother. And to his comrades, who laughed at the feathers attached to the hat, he said that they were dearer to him than anything in the world. Kuzma Dvoerylko heard these words, he had long envied Ilya's strength and dexterity, and stole them. Kuzma Dvoerylko began to follow Ilya. He secretly followed him to Sinyushka. Sinyushka liked the ingenuity of Ilya, who attached a ladle to a perch in order to scoop water from her well. Sinyushka called Ilya to her on a monthly night, promised to show her wealth. Dvoorko, who heard everything, then went to Sinyushka himself and disappeared. But Ilya came and did not draw wealth in the well, he remembered grandmother Lukerya's order.

One girl appeared before him with a tray, another, but he still refuses, wants Sinyushka herself to give him an award. An 18-year-old beauty brought Ilya a grandmother's sieve with berries and feathers. Ilya guessed that this was Sinyushka.

The berries of the house turned into gems. Time passed, Ilya began to live in abundance, on his own, and the beautiful Sinyushka did not go out of his head. Once he met one among the girls who went for berries, married her, only her health and him were not enough for happiness, they died early.

A mine was opened in the Zyuzelsky swamp, but they did not scoop out all the wealth. Bottomless Sinyushkin well.

The tale of P.P. Bazhov, like all Russian fairy tales, tells us that the main good in a person's life is not gold and silver, gemstones. It is honesty, loyalty, kindness.

Why did the author name his work that way? Sinyushkin well was a test for Ilya. The hero is rewarded for not being envious, not stealing, not being greedy, and remembering his grandmother's advice. It is no coincidence that the author emphasized that the well is bottomless. Life tests people for humanity many times. And rewards for moral deeds are innumerable.
