In a certain state there lived a merchant, he had a son, Ivan. Ivan learned to read and write and hired himself as a worker for a rich man; I lived with him for three years, received a salary for all this time and was going home. He goes along the road, and a beggar trudges towards him - both lame and blind, and asks the holy alms for Christ's sake. The merchant's son gave the poor man all the money he had earned and came home with nothing; and then misfortune - the father died, it is necessary to bury and pay debts. Somehow lost his way, managed his affairs and began to bargain. Soon he heard that his two uncles were loading ships with goods and wanted to go overseas.
Give, - thinks, - and I'll go! Maybe my uncles will take me with them.
I went to ask them. Uncles promised.
Come, - they say, - tomorrow!
And the next day, at a little light, they spread their sails and left alone, without a nephew.
Ivan became sad; his mother says to him:
Don't fret, son! Go to the market, hire yourself a clerk - just choose the old one; old people are seasoned, quick-witted about everything. As soon as you hire a clerk, make a ship, and go overseas together. God is not without mercy!
Ivan the merchant's son obeyed, ran to the market, and a gray-haired old man met him:
Where are you going, good fellow?
I'm going, grandfather, to the market, I want to hire a clerk.
Hire me!
What will you take?
Half a young lady.
The merchant's son agreed and accepted the old man as a clerk. They made a ship, loaded it with goods and rolled away from the shore; the wind was fair, the ship was fast, and Ivan arrived in a foreign country at the same time that his uncle's ships entered the pier.
In that state, the daughter of the king died; they carried her to the church and every night they sent one person to her to be eaten. Many people died; so, the king thinks, perhaps my kingdom will not stand, and he invented: instead of his people, send visitors from other lands to his daughter; no matter what merchant appears at the pier, he must spend the night in the church in advance, and then, if he survives, he can buy, sell, and go back. Here the newly arrived merchants converged on the pier and began to judge and judge who should go to church first. They cast lots, and it was given: on the first night to go to the eldest uncle, on the second night - to the younger uncle, and on the third night - to Ivan the merchant's son. Uncle got scared and let's ask his nephew:
Dove Vanyushka! Spend the night for us in the church; whatever you want - then take it for service, we will not argue.
Wait, I'll ask my grandfather.
Went to the old man
So and so, - he says, - uncles pester, ask to work for them; how do you, grandfather, advise?
Well, do your best; only let them give you three ships for that.
Ivan the merchant's son conveyed these words to his uncles, they agreed:
Okay, Vanya! Six ships are yours.
When evening came, the old man took Ivan by the hands, brought him to the church, placed him near the coffin and drew a circle:
Stand strong, don’t go out from behind the line, read the hymnal and don’t be afraid of anything!
Said and left; Ivan the merchant's son was left alone in the church, opened the book and began to read the psalms. As soon as twelve o'clock struck, the lid rises from the coffin, the princess gets up and goes straight to the line:
I will eat you! - threatens, rushes forward, shouts in different voices, both like a dog and like a cat, but cannot cross the line. Ivan reads, does not look at her; suddenly the roosters crowed, and the princess threw herself into the coffin at random; her dress was hanging over the edge. In the morning the king sends his servants:
Go to the church, clean up the bones.
The servants unlocked the doors, looked into the church - and the merchant's son stands alive in front of the coffin and reads all the psalter.
The next night it was the same; and on the third day in the evening the old man took him by the hand, brought him to church and said:
As soon as twelve o'clock strikes, you do not hesitate to climb into the choir stalls; there is a large image of Peter the Apostle, stand behind him - do not be afraid of anything!
The merchant's son set to work on the psalter; read-read; exactly at twelve o'clock he sees - the lid from the coffin rises; he quickly went to the choir stalls and stood behind the large image of Peter the Apostle. The princess ran out after him; I ran to the choir stalls, searched and searched, went around all the corners - I could not find it. Approaching the image, she looked at the face of the holy apostle and trembled; suddenly a voice came from the icon:
Get out, you bastard!
At that very moment, the evil spirit left the princess, she fell on her knees before the icon and began to pray with tears. Ivan the merchant's son came out from behind the image, stood next to her, baptized himself and bowed.
In the morning, the royal servants come to the church, they look - Ivan the merchant's son and the princess are on their knees and pray to God; they immediately ran and reported to the king. The king was delighted, he went to the church himself, brought the princess to the palace and said to the merchant's son:
You have delivered my daughter and the whole kingdom; marry her, and as a dowry I will give you six ships with expensive goods.
The next day they were remarried; all the people feasted at the wedding - and the boyars, and merchants, and ordinary peasants. A week after that, Ivan the merchant's son got ready to go home; he said goodbye to the king, took his young wife, boarded a ship and ordered to go to sea. His ship is running on the sea, and after him twelve others are sailing; six ships that the tsar gave, and six ships that he served with his uncle.
Halfway through, the old man says to Ivan the merchant's son:
When are we going to share the profits?
Even now, grandpa! Choose six ships that you like.
That's not all; you have to share the princess.
What are you, grandfather, how to share it?
Yes, I’ll cut it in two: half for you and half for me.
God be with you! That way, no one will get it; we'd better draw lots.
I don’t want to, - the old man answers, - it’s said - profits in half, so be it!
He pulled out a sword and cut the princess in two - various reptiles and snakes crawled out of her. The old man killed all the reptiles and snakes, laid down the princess's body, sprinkled it once with holy water - the body grew together, sprinkled it into another - the princess came to life and became more beautiful than before. Then the old man says to Ivan the merchant's son:
Take for yourself the princess and all twelve ships, but I don’t need anything; live righteously, do not offend anyone, endow the poor brethren, and pray to the holy apostle Peter.
He said and disappeared. The merchant's son returned home and lived happily ever after with his princess, offending no one and always helping the poor.

Russian folk tales: Sol.
Salt.- In a certain city there lived a merchant, he had three sons: the first - Fedor, the second - Vasily, and the third - Ivan. That merchant lived richly, on his ships he went to foreign lands and traded in all sorts of goods.
At one time he loaded two ships with expensive goods and sent them across the sea with his two eldest sons. And he did not trust his younger son with anything in trade.
This is how the younger son found out that his brothers had been sent overseas, immediately came to his father and began to ask him to go to other lands - to show himself, to see people.
The merchant did not agree for a long time:
"You won't even bring your head home!" - but still he was given a ship with the cheapest cargo: with logs, boards and boards.
Ivan got ready to go, rolled away from the shore and soon overtook his brothers.
They sail together on the blue sea for a day, two and three, and on the fourth strong winds rose and threw Ivan's ship to a distant place, to one unknown island.
- Well, guys, - Ivan shouted to the ship workers, - turn to the shore!
Landed on the shore, he climbed out onto the island, ordered himself to wait, and he went along the path; he walked and walked and reached a great mountain, he looks - in that mountain there is not sand, not stone, but pure Russian salt.
He returned back to the shore, ordered the workers to leave all the logs and boards in the water, and load the ship with salt.
As soon as this was done, Ivan rolled away from the island and swam on.
How long, how short, how close, how far - a ship sailed to a big rich city, stopped at the pier and dropped anchor.
Ivan, the merchant's son, went down to the city and went to the local king to beat with his forehead, so that he would allow him to trade at a free price; and for the show he carried a bundle of his product - Russian salt.
Immediately they reported about his arrival to the sovereign; The king called him and asked:
- Tell me, what's the matter - what is the need?
- So and so, your Majesty! Let me trade in your city at a free price.
- And what goods do you trade?
- Russian salt, Your Majesty!
And the king never heard of salt: in his whole kingdom they ate without salt. He was surprised, what kind of new, unprecedented product is this?
- Well, - he says, - show me!
Ivan, the merchant's son, unfolded his handkerchief; the king looked and thought to himself: "Yes, it's just white sand!" And he says to Ivan with a smile:
- Well, brother, we give this stuff even without money!
Ivan came out of the royal chambers very sad, and he thought to himself: "Let me go to the royal kitchen and see how the cooks prepare food there - what kind of salt do they put?"
He came to the kitchen, asked to rest a little, sat down on a chair and looked at it. Chefs keep running back and forth: who cooks, who fries, who pours, and who beats eggs in a pan.
Ivan, the merchant's son, sees that the cooks do not even think of salting the dishes; he seized a moment when they all got out of the kitchen, took it and poured salt, as much as necessary, into all the food and seasonings.
The time has come for dinner to be served; brought the first meal. The king tasted it, and it seemed to him so tasty as never before; served another dish - it was even more pleasant.
The king called the cooks and said to them:
- How many years I reign, but you have never cooked so tasty. How did you do that?
Chefs answer:
- Your Majesty! We cooked in the old way, we didn't add anything new; and sitting in the kitchen is that merchant who came to ask for free trade, didn’t he put something?
- Call him here!
They brought Ivan, the merchant's son, to the tsar.
- Guilty, tsar-sovereign! I have flavored all the food and seasonings with Russian salt; that's the way it is on our side.
Why are you selling salt?
Ivan realized that things were going well, and answered:
- Yes, not very expensive: for two measures of salt - a measure of silver and a measure of gold.
The king agreed to this price and bought all the goods from him.
Ivan filled the ship full of silver and gold and began to wait for a fair wind; and that king had a daughter - a beautiful princess, she wanted to look at the Russian ship, and she asks her parent to go to the ship's pier. The king let her go.
So she took with her nannies, mothers and red girls and went to see the Russian ship. Ivan - the merchant's son began to show her how and what is called: where are the sails, where are the tackles, where is the bow, where is the stern, and led her into the cabin; and he ordered the workers to quickly cut off the anchors, raise the sails and go out to sea. And as it was a great craze for them, they soon left that city for a long distance.
The princess went on deck, looked around - the sea was all around. Ivan, the merchant's son, began to comfort her, to persuade her. The princess soon smiled and ceased to be sad.
How long, how short Ivan sailed with the princess on the sea, his older brothers are catching up; learned about his prowess and happiness and strongly envied; they came to his ship, grabbed him by the hands and threw him into the sea, and then they threw lots between themselves, and the big brother took the princess, and the middle brother took the ship with silver and gold.
And it happened at the time when Ivan was thrown from the ship, one of those logs that he himself left into the sea floated nearby. Ivan grabbed that log and rushed with it through the depths of the sea for a long time; finally nailed him to an unknown island.
He got out and walked along the shore. He comes across a giant with a huge mustache, on his mustache mittens - vachegi - hang: after the rain it dries.
- What do you want here? - asks the giant.
Ivan told him everything that had happened.
- Do you want me to take you home? Tomorrow your elder brother will marry the princess; sit on my back.
I took him, put him on his back and ran across the sea; Here Ivan's hat fell off his head.
“Ah,” he says, “because I dropped my hat!”
- Well, brother, your hat is far away - about five hundred miles ago and remained, - the giant answered.
He brought him home, lowered him to the ground and said:
“Look, don’t brag to anyone that you rode me; and if you boast, it will be bad for you.
Ivan, the merchant's son, promised not to boast, thanked the giant and went home.
Comes, and already there everyone is sitting at the wedding table. As the beautiful princess saw him, she immediately jumped out from behind the table, threw herself on his neck.
“Here,” he says, “is my fiancé, not the one sitting at the table!”
- What's happened? the father asks.
Ivan told him about everything, how he sold salt, how he took the princess away, and how his older brothers pushed him into the sea.
The father got angry with his big sons, drove them out of the yard, and married Ivan to the princess.
They began a merry feast; at the feast, the guests got drunk and began to boast: some with strength, some with wealth, some with a young wife. And Ivan sat, sat and drunk and boasted himself:
- What a boast! This is how I can boast: I rode a giant across the sea on horseback!
He just said - at the same moment a giant appears at the gate:
- Ah, Ivan - a merchant's son, I ordered you not to boast about me, but what did you do?
- I'm sorry! - says Ivan the merchant's son. - I did not boast, then hops boasted.
- Well, show me: what kind of hop?
Ivan ordered to bring a fortieth barrel of wine and a fortieth barrel of beer; the giant drank both wine and beer, got drunk and went to break and destroy everything that came to hand. He did a lot of bad things: he rolled the gardens, scattered the mansions! After that, he fell down and slept without waking up for three days.
And when he woke up, they began to show him how much trouble he had done; the giant fear was surprised and said:
- Well, Ivan is a merchant's son, I found out what hops are; do not drink, do not boast of me from now on and forever.
Not in what place lived-was a merchant. The merchant had three sons - two Fedor, the third Ivan. Ivan was a drunkard: what he gains, he will drink. He drank, he drank, his father refused himself; he began to walk around the courtyard; walked, walked, came to his father. “Give me, father-parent, one carap, I dreamed at night: I’m getting on from there to make a living.” His father gave him a carapace and gave him some money. He bought salt, picked up his comrades, took a barrel of wine and set off, ran where their path lay.
Long-le, short-le fled, comrades say: "You yourself will perish and destroy us." - "Well, robyata, there is nothing to do, drag the kantuk." They emptied the kantuk, they ran to sing, they began to sing. “You yourself will perish and destroy us, how long we fled, the earth is not visible.” Ivan ordered the second kantuk to be pulled out. They drink and run forward. They ran, they ran, Ivan came out and began to look through the telescope. "How hot, robyata, beautiful." Everyone jumps up, looks out of the spyglass: “As if the city is finding it.” They ran to this city, and stood in the quiet galani, carried the gangway: Ivan put salt in a handkerchief and went to the city, and entered the palace. The king began to ask: “Who are you? Which? From where?" - "And I'm Ivan the merchant's son, if I had a product, I would want to trade." They sat down to have a snack, Ivan tried the dish with a spoon, the dish without salt. Ivan took it, trotted in one, trotted in the other, trotted in the third.
The king became es, I liked it. “Does this martial have much?” - "And I have a loaded carapace." - “You don’t sell this honor to anyone, my dear.” The king took Ivanov's karap, and gave him his own with gold, with silver, in addition he gave his wife, he was drunk. Ivan sailed away to his own land, the king caught himself in the morning, there was no mistress, they were in sugon for ima. Caught them. “How so? You were a guest, a guest, and you took your wife away. - “But you yourself gave it,” Ivan pulled the book, “here is your hand, he signed it himself.” - "Well, when he himself signed, duck, apparently, he gave it already." Ivan then ran to some city, and Ivan had brothers here. His brothers called him to visit, the brothers bribed Ivan's comrades, sawed down the gangway from Ivan's ship. Ivan began to invite his brothers to visit. Ivan began to enter, the gangway broke, and fell into the sea and drowned, and the brothers took his wife and carap from him, and went home.
