Smart son. A smart son is a replacement for his father, a stupid one is not help

13. Smart and stupid Fool is different from smart person the fact that blindly follows the programs that his insubordinate mind palms off on him. A smart person lives with his mind. The word "own" speaks for itself - a person is the master of his mind, and not vice versa. Qualities,

il-was a peasant, and he had one and only son. The peasant sent his son to different schools to learn the mind-reason. Once, on the roof of my father's house, a raven croaked. The father asks his son:

What is the raven croaking about? You've been trained in all sorts of wisdom, you should know.

How should I know? - answers the son. I did not study at the raven school.

Then the father sent his son for one year to the raven school.

By the end of the year, a raven flew to his father and said:

I am your son from the crow school, tomorrow you must come for me. There are many students there, all turned into ravens. Do you recognize me in such a flock of crows? If you don't find out, I'll have to stay there. Remember how to recognize me. We'll all have to sit on a long pole. The first time I will be the third from this end, the second time - the fifth, and the third time a fly will fly near my eye.

The raven said this and flew away. The next day my father went to the raven school. The crows have already perched on the poles. It is necessary for the father to guess who is in the row - his son.

Third! - showed the father.

That's right, you guessed it!

After that, the crows scattered, mixed up and sat down on the pole again. Again, the father has to guess.

Fifth! - showed the father.

That's right, you guessed it!

Again the crows mixed up, and again the father had to guess. The father sees: a fly flew past the eye of one raven.

This! he says.

The raven turned into his son, and they went home by sea.

As they sailed across the sea, a raven croaked at the top of the mast.

You studied at the crow school. Tell me, what is this raven croaking about? the father asks.

Oh, father, if I told you what this raven is croaking about, you would have thrown me into the sea. I can't tell you this.

The father was angry with his son for such an answer and in anger threw him into the sea. Speak or don't speak - one end. However, the son did not drown, turned into a fish, swam to the shore and again turned into a man. He met an old man on the shore and settled in his house. He lived, lived for some time, and one day he said to the old man:

Tomorrow I will turn into a songbird, you take me to the city and sell me. Just remember: don't sell the cage!

The next day the old man took the bird to town. He met the royal daughter. She heard how beautifully the bird sang, and bought it for a lot of money. But the old man did not sell the cage. The royal daughter took the bird and went to buy a new cage. While she was talking to the seller, the bird escaped and flew home before the old man.

Soon the young man again says to the old man:

Tomorrow I will turn into a bull. Take me to the city and sell me. Just don't sell the rope!

So the old man did: he sold the bull without a rope. The buyer began to look for a new rope, and in the meantime the bull escaped and ran home.

Soon the young man again says to the old man:

Tomorrow I will turn into a horse. Take me to the city and sell me. Just remember: don't sell the golden bridle!

The old man took the horse to the city. But then greed seized him, and he sold the golden bridle with his horse. And the sorcerer bought the horse, he taught the ravens at school all sorts of miracles. The sorcerer brought the horse home, took him to the stable and ordered the groom to feed him worse.

Fortunately, the groom disobeyed the sorcerer and fed the horse ad libitum, and then completely released it. The horse sped off, and the sorcerer followed him. They ran and ran and ran to the seashore. By the sea, the horse turned into a fish, the sorcerer too, and they swam across the sea.

On the other side stood the royal palace, and in front of the palace the three royal daughters beat the linen with rolls. The first fish jumped ashore, to the princesses, and turned into a diamond ring. The youngest princess saw the ring first, put it on her finger and ran home. In the upper room, the ring turned into a young man. He told the girl about everything that had happened and what would happen. He said that musicians and a sorcerer would come to the palace in the evening. For the game, he will require a diamond ring. But you can't give him the ring.

As the young man said, so it all happened. Skillful musicians came to the palace in the evening and played so well - you will hear. Having finished playing, the king asks what payment they want for the game.

We don't need anything, just give us the diamond ring that your youngest daughter wears.

Well, take it! the king agreed.

But the girl does not give up the ring in any way. So the musicians left with nothing.

The young man's ring turned around again, and he said to the younger princess:

Tomorrow the musicians will come again and ask for a diamond ring for playing. If you can’t fight them off in any way, throw the ring under the chair!

That's how it all happened. The next day the musicians came and played even better than the day before. They finished playing and demanded a ring in payment. The princess does not give the ring. If it doesn’t give in a good way, they want to take it away by force. Then the younger princess tore off the ring from her finger and threw it under a chair. The musicians instantly turned into ravens and - for the ring. And the ring turned into a hawk, and they started a fight. But the hawk was stronger and drove the ravens away.

The hawk turned into a young man and married the youngest royal daughter. The king gave him the kingdom, and the young man lived happily.

Everyone can sleep, but I can't. Surely none alive soul won’t say: “Wonder bird, go to sleep too!”? The middle brother heard this, took pity on the bird and said:

Miracle bird, go to sleep!

At the same moment, the miracle bird hit him with its wing, and the middle brother turned into a birch. In the morning the younger brother came up to the bridge and saw that the notch had turned red. In an instant he gathered in a distant state, and the king tells him that the brothers went for a miracle bird, but did not return from the garden. The younger brother went into the garden, looking here, looking there - there are no brothers, no linden tree with three tops. Finally he looked into the dense birch forest, he sees: there is a linden tree, but there are no brothers, only the grass in the clearing seems to be Primat. The younger brother buried himself in thick grass, so that he could reach the golden cage, and he is waiting. Quiet around. But as soon as the sun went down, the whole garden was filled with chirping, as if thousands of birds were singing. And then the miracle bird flew in. She sat down on the golden cage, looked around, and spoke plaintively, plaintively:

Everybody sleeps! Surely not a single living soul will say: “Wonder bird, go to sleep too!”? The younger brother is silent, does not say a word. The miracle bird waited a little and spoke even more plaintively:

Everyone can sleep, but I can't. Surely not a single living soul will say: “Wonder bird, go to sleep too!”? The younger brother didn't say a word. The miracle bird waited a little longer and sobbed loudly:

Everyone is asleep, but I can't. Surely not a single living soul will say: “Wonder bird, go to sleep too!”?

At this point, the younger brother became unbearably silent. He almost answered, yes, fortunately for him, the miracle bird got tired of complaining, and she jumped into the golden cage. Then the younger brother realized that it was better for him to remain silent. In the cage, the miracle bird looked around: no one was seen or heard nearby, put its beak into the feathers and calmly fell asleep.

Then the younger brother quietly got up yes right hand slipped it carefully through the cage door. As soon as he took off the ring from the left foot of the bird, as right there with his left hand - clap! - closed the cell door. The miracle bird woke up, rushing out of its cage, beating against the bars, jumping and screaming, as if a great misfortune had befallen. For a long, long time she fought, only at dawn she calmed down, lowered her head and said:

You took off my ring, now I'm yours!

Tell me, wonder bird, where are my brothers?

The two birches next to you are your brothers!

Tell me, miracle bird, who are all the other birches?

The rest of the birches are also people.

Tell me, miracle bird, how can I turn these birches into people again?

Get farther into birch grove and look around carefully, you will see a pile of sand. If you pour three handfuls of that sand on each birch, the birches will turn into people. So the younger brother did. He revived his brothers first, and the brothers helped others to revive. But even the three of them could not cope, other people began to help carry the sand. And now the birch trees disappear one after another, until the whole grove came to life and the whole garden shook from the hustle and bustle of people. Crowded all around younger brother and for joy they don't know what to do. The younger brother decided to amuse the saved.

He asked the miracle bird if she could sing the way she sang the other day. The miracle bird sang. What a voice!

After three days, everyone parted: the brothers went in one direction, the rest in the other. At noon the brothers approached the sea. The older brothers want to go further, but the younger one is tired. He lay down on the very shore of the sea and fell asleep. The elder brothers saw this and decided to steal the miracle bird, and throw the younger brother, the deliverer, into the waves of the sea. As decided, so they did. The miracle bird fell into their paws, but they completely forgot about the ring, it remained on the brother’s finger. The elder brothers returned home to their father and let's brag about how they got the miracle bird and how, looking for it, they got drunk, and where the younger brother had gone, they don’t even know. The brothers hoped that the miracle bird would work all sorts of miracles for them, but only without a ring, the bird does not listen to any orders, sits ruffled to itself. The older brothers live at their father's house, and there is little grief for them, and the old father, whenever he remembers his younger one, will cry. Just don't cry - you won't get your son back. But the old man grieved in vain - his beloved son did not drown in the depths of the sea.

The mermaids took him light handles with their own and took them to the rich amber palace of the queen of the sea. The queen liked a handsome young man, and she married him.

They lived happily ever after. But once the mermaids told that they heard the plaintive cry of the old king. It was a pity for the old man's son, and he decided to leave the amber palace for a while to console his father. Poter younger son miracle bird ring At the same moment, the ring turned into a golden bridge from the amber palace to royal castle. The father saw his son safe and sound and did not know what to do for joy. Then the miracle bird sang and told the king what the older sons had done to the younger. They fell on their knees before their father and younger brother and asked to have mercy on them. The heart of the younger brother is kind, he forgave the brothers and persuaded his father not to be angry with his older sons.

For three days the youngest son stayed at his father's palace, for three days he talked about his happiness, and on the fourth day, just as the sun rose, he took the miracle bird and returned back to the amber palace. As the amber gates were opened, the golden bridge turned into a ring again.

SMART SON

Once upon a time there was a peasant, and he had only one son. The peasant sent his son to different schools to learn the mind-reason. Once, on the roof of my father's house, a raven croaked. The father asks his son:
