Fairy tale Fight on Kalinov Bridge read

In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a king and a queen. The queen had a favorite girlfriend - the priest's daughter, and the queen had a favorite servant - Chernavushka. It didn’t take long before each one gave birth to a young son. The Tsarina has Ivan Tsarevich, Popovna has Ivan Popovich, Chernavka has Vanyushka, a peasant son. The kids began to grow by leaps and bounds. They grew up to be mighty heroes.

Once they were returning from a hunt, the queen ran out of the hut and burst into tears:

My dear sons, our terrible enemies, fierce snakes, have attacked us, coming at us across the Smorodina River, across the clean Kalinov Bridge. All the people around were taken captive, the land was ravaged, and burned with fire.

Don’t cry, mother, we won’t let the kite cross the Kalinov Bridge.

In short, we got ready and let's go.

They come to the Smorodina River and see that everything around is burned with fire, the whole Russian land is watered with blood. Near Kalinov Bridge there is a hut on chicken legs.

Well, brothers,” says Ivan Tsarevich, “we can live and guard here, and not let enemies cross the Kalinov Bridge.” It's your turn to keep guard.

On the first night, Ivan Tsarevich began to guard. He put on golden armor, took a sword, and went on patrol. Waiting - waiting - quietly on the Smorodina River. Ivan Tsarevich lay down under a broom bush and fell asleep in a heroic sleep. But Vanyushka can’t sleep in the hut, he can’t lie down. Vanyushka got up, took an iron club, went out to the Smorodina River and saw Tsarevich Ivan sleeping and snoring under a bush.

Suddenly the waters in the river became agitated, the eagles screamed in the oak trees: Miracle Yudo, a six-headed snake, was leaving. When he blew in all directions, he burned everything for three miles with fire! His horse stepped onto the Kalinov Bridge. Vanyushka jumped up, swung his iron club - he knocked off three heads, swung it again - knocked off three more. They put their heads under the bridge and pushed their bodies into the river. I went to the hut and went to bed.

In the morning, Tsarevich Ivan returned from patrol. His brothers ask him:

So, Tsarevich, how did the night go?

Quietly, brothers, not even a fly flew past me. Vanyushka sits and remains silent.

The next night Ivan Popovich went on patrol. Waiting - waiting - quietly on the Smorodina River. Ivan Popovich lay down under a willow bush and fell asleep in a heroic sleep. In the middle of the night Vanyushka took an iron club and went to the Smorodina River. And near the Kalinov Bridge, under a bush, Ivan Popovich sleeps and snores, like the forest is noisy.

Suddenly the waters in the river became agitated, the eagles screamed in the oak trees: Miracle Yudo, a nine-headed serpent, was leaving. Under him, the horse stumbled, the raven on his shoulder perked up, and the dog behind him bristled. The nine-headed snake got angry:

Why are you, dog meat, stumbling, you, crow feather, trembling, you, dog hair, bristling? There is no enemy for me in the whole world!

The raven from his right shoulder answers him:

There is an opponent in the world for you - a Russian hero, Ivan - a peasant son.

Ivan, the peasant’s son, was not born, and if he was born, he was not fit for war, I’ll put him in the palm of my hand, I’ll slam him with another, it’ll only make him wet.

Vanyushka got angry:

Do not boast, enemy power! Without catching a clear falcon, it’s too early to pluck feathers without hitting good fellow, it's too early to brag.

They came together and hit each other - only the earth around them groaned. Miracle Yudo - the nine-headed snake drove Ivan ankle-deep into the ground. Vanyushka got excited, went wild, swung his club, and blew off three snake heads like heads of cabbage.

Stop, Ivan the peasant son, give me, Miracle Yudo, a break!

What a rest for you, enemy power! You have nine heads - I have one!

Ivanushka swung and took off three more heads, and Miracle Yudo hit Ivan and drove him knee-deep into the ground. Then Vanyushka contrived, grabbed a handful of earth and threw it into the Snake’s eyes.

While the Serpent was rubbing his eyes and clearing his eyebrows, Ivan the peasant son knocked off his last three heads. They put their heads under the bridge and threw their bodies into the water.

In the morning, Ivan Popovich returned from patrol, his brothers asked:

So, Popovich, how was your night?

Quiet, brothers, only the mosquito squeaked over your ear.

Then Vanyushka led them to the Kalinov Bridge and showed them the snake heads.

Oh, you sleepy sleepyheads, should you really fight? You should be lying on the stove at home!

On the third night, Vanyushka goes on patrol. He puts on cowhide boots, puts on hemp mittens, and punishes his older brothers:

Dear brothers, I am going to a terrible battle, lie down, sleep, listen to my scream.

Here Vanyushka stands at the Kalinov Bridge, behind him is the Russian land. Time passed after midnight, the waters on the river became agitated, and the eagles began to scream in the oak trees. The Serpent Gorynych, the twelve-headed Miracle Yudo, leaves. Each head sings with its own tune, flames blaze from its nostrils, smoke pours out of its mouth. The horse under him has twelve wings. The horse's fur is iron, its tail and mane are fiery.

The Serpent drove onto the Kalinov Bridge. Then the horse stumbled under him, the raven started, and the dog behind him bristled. Miracle Yudo whips a horse on the hips, a crow on the feathers, a dog on the ears.

Why are you, dog meat, stumbling, you, crow feather, trembling, you, dog hair, bristling? Ali, do you think Ivan is the peasant’s son here? Yes, if he was born, and even fit for war, I just blow - his ashes will remain!

Vanyushka got angry and jumped out:

Without fighting with a good fellow, it’s too early, Miracle Yudo, to brag!

Vanyushka swung, knocked off the Snake’s three heads, and the Snake drove him ankle-deep into the ground, picked up his three heads, struck them with a fiery finger - all the heads grew back as if they had never fallen. He breathed fire on Rus' - he set everything on fire for three miles. Vanyushka sees that things are bad, he grabbed a pebble and threw it into the hut - give a sign to the brothers. All the windows flew out, the shutters were smashed to pieces - the brothers were sleeping, they couldn’t hear.

Vanyushka gathered his strength, swung his club, and knocked off six heads of the Snake. The snake struck with a fiery finger - the heads grew back as if they had never fallen, and he drove Vanyushka knee-deep into the ground. He breathed fire and burned the Russian land for six miles.

Vanyusha took off his forged belt and threw it into the hut to give a sign to his brothers. The plank roof fell apart, the oak steps rolled down - the brothers were sleeping, snoring, the forest was noisy.

Collected by Vanyushka last strength, swung his club, knocking off nine heads of the Snake. The whole earth trembled, the water shook, eagles fell from the oak trees. The serpent Gorynych picked up his heads, struck his fiery finger - the heads grew back as if they had not fallen for centuries, and he himself drove Vanyushka waist-deep into the ground. He breathed fire and burned the Russian land for twelve miles.

Vanyushka took off his hemp mitten and threw it into the hut to give a sign to his brothers. The hut rolled over the log. The brothers woke up and jumped out. They see: the Smorodina River has risen, blood is running from the Kalinov Bridge, there is a groan on Russian soil, a raven is cawing on foreign land. The brothers rushed to help Vanyushka. A heroic battle ensued here. Miracle Yudo burns with fire and smokes. Ivan Tsarevich hits with a sword, Ivan Popovich stabs with a spear. The earth groans, the water boils, the raven croaks, the dog howls.

Vanyushka contrived and cut off the Snake’s fiery finger. At this point the brothers began to beat and stab, cut off all twelve of the Snake’s heads, and threw the body into the water.

He breathed fire and burned the Russian land for six miles. Vanyusha took off his forged belt and threw it into the hut to give a sign to his brothers. The plank roof fell apart, the oak steps rolled down - the brothers were sleeping, snoring, the forest was noisy.

Vanyushka gathered his last strength, swung his club, knocked off nine of the Snake’s heads. The whole earth trembled, the water shook, eagles fell from the oak trees. The serpent Gorynych picked up his heads, struck his fiery finger - the heads grew back as if they had not fallen for centuries, and he himself drove Vanyushka waist-deep into the ground.

He breathed fire and burned the Russian land for twelve miles. Vanyushka took off his hemp mitten and threw it into the hut to give a sign to his brothers. The hut rolled over the log. The brothers woke up and jumped out. They see: the Smorodina River has risen, blood is running from the Kalinov Bridge, there is a groan on Russian soil, a raven is cawing on foreign land.

The brothers rushed to help Vanyushka. A heroic battle ensued here. Miracle Yudo burns with fire and smokes. Ivan Tsarevich hits with a sword, Ivan Popovich stabs with a spear. The earth groans, the water boils, the raven croaks, the dog howls. Vanyushka contrived and cut off the Snake’s fiery finger. At this point the brothers began to beat and stab, cut off all twelve of the Snake’s heads, and threw the body into the water. We defended the Kalinov Bridge.

Fairy tale Fight on Kalinov Bridge. Interesting Facts

1. In ancient times, the Smorodina River was called the Fiery River, and the bridge was called Kalinov, because it seemed red-hot. The river separated two worlds: the living and the dead, and terrible snakes guarded the bridge.

2. The Battle on Kalinov Bridge is a fairy tale that completely coincides in plot with the fairy tale Ivan the Peasant Son and the Miracle Yudo, but it is the version of Kalinov Bridge that is offered for reading in the school curriculum.

In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a king and a queen. The queen had a favorite girlfriend - the priest's daughter, and the queen had a favorite servant - Chernavushka. It didn’t take long before each one gave birth to a young son. The Tsarina has Ivan Tsarevich, Popovna has Ivan Popovich, Chernavka has Vanyushka, a peasant son. The kids began to grow by leaps and bounds. They grew up to be mighty heroes.

Once they were returning from a hunt, the queen ran out of the hut and burst into tears:

My dear sons, our terrible enemies, fierce snakes, have attacked us, coming at us across the Smorodina River, across the clean Kalinov Bridge. All the people around were taken captive, the land was ravaged, and burned with fire.
- Don’t cry, mother, we won’t let the snake cross the Kalinov Bridge.

In short, we got ready and let's go.

They come to the Smorodina River and see that everything around is burned with fire, the whole Russian land is watered with blood. Near Kalinov Bridge there is a hut on chicken legs.

Well, brothers,” says Ivan Tsarevich, “we can live and guard here, and not let enemies cross the Kalinov Bridge.” It's your turn to keep guard.

On the first night, Ivan Tsarevich began to guard. He put on golden armor, took a sword, and went on patrol. Waiting - waiting - quietly on the Smorodina River. Ivan Tsarevich lay down under a broom bush and fell asleep in a heroic sleep. But Vanyushka can’t sleep in the hut, he can’t lie down. Vanyushka got up, took an iron club, went out to the Smorodina River and saw Tsarevich Ivan sleeping and snoring under a bush.

Suddenly the waters in the river became agitated, the eagles screamed in the oak trees: Miracle Yudo, a six-headed snake, was leaving. When he blew in all directions, he burned everything for three miles with fire! His horse stepped onto the Kalinov Bridge. Vanyushka jumped up, swung his iron club - he knocked off three heads, swung it again - knocked off three more. They put their heads under the bridge and pushed their bodies into the river. I went to the hut and went to bed.

In the morning, Tsarevich Ivan returned from patrol. His brothers ask him:

So, Tsarevich, how did the night go?
- Quiet, brothers, not even a fly flew past me. Vanyushka sits and remains silent.

The next night Ivan Popovich went on patrol. Waiting - waiting - quietly on the Smorodina River. Ivan Popovich lay down under a willow bush and fell asleep in a heroic sleep. In the middle of the night Vanyushka took an iron club and went to the Smorodina River. And near the Kalinov Bridge, under a bush, Ivan Popovich sleeps and snores, like the forest is noisy.

Suddenly the waters in the river became agitated, the eagles screamed in the oak trees: Miracle Yudo, a nine-headed serpent, was leaving. Under him, the horse stumbled, the raven on his shoulder perked up, and the dog behind him bristled. The nine-headed snake got angry:

Why are you, dog meat, stumbling, you, crow feather, trembling, you, dog hair, bristling? There is no enemy for me in the whole world!

The raven from his right shoulder answers him:

There is an opponent in the world for you - a Russian hero, Ivan - a peasant son.
“Ivan, the peasant’s son, wasn’t born, and if he was, he wasn’t fit for war, I’ll put him in the palm of my hand, I’ll slam him with another, it’ll only make him wet.”

Vanyushka got angry:

Do not boast, enemy power! Without catching a clear falcon, it’s too early to pluck feathers, without fighting with a good fellow, it’s too early to brag.

They came together and hit each other - only the earth around them groaned. Miracle Yudo - the nine-headed snake drove Ivan ankle-deep into the ground. Vanyushka got excited, went wild, swung his club, and blew off three snake heads like heads of cabbage.

Stop, Ivan the peasant son, give me, Miracle Yudo, a break!
- What a rest for you, enemy power! You have nine heads - I have one!

Ivanushka swung and took off three more heads, and Miracle Yudo hit Ivan and drove him knee-deep into the ground. Then Vanyushka contrived, grabbed a handful of earth and threw it into the Snake’s eyes.

While the Serpent was rubbing his eyes and clearing his eyebrows, Ivan the peasant son knocked off his last three heads. They put their heads under the bridge and threw their bodies into the water.

In the morning, Ivan Popovich returned from patrol, his brothers asked:

So, Popovich, how was your night?
- Quiet, brothers, only the mosquito squeaked over your ear.

Then Vanyushka led them to the Kalinov Bridge and showed them the snake heads.

Oh, you sleepy sleepyheads, should you really fight? You should be lying on the stove at home!

On the third night, Vanyushka goes on patrol. He puts on cowhide boots, puts on hemp mittens, and punishes his older brothers:

Dear brothers, I am going to a terrible battle, lie down, sleep, listen to my scream.

Here Vanyushka stands at the Kalinov Bridge, behind him is the Russian land. Time passed after midnight, the waters on the river became agitated, and the eagles began to scream in the oak trees. The Serpent Gorynych, the twelve-headed Miracle Yudo, leaves. Each head sings with its own tune, flames blaze from its nostrils, smoke pours out of its mouth. The horse under him has twelve wings. The horse's fur is iron, its tail and mane are fiery.

The Serpent drove onto the Kalinov Bridge. Then the horse stumbled under him, the raven started, and the dog behind him bristled. Miracle Yudo whips a horse on the hips, a crow on the feathers, a dog on the ears.

Why are you, dog meat, stumbling, you, crow feather, trembling, you, dog hair, bristling? Ali, do you think Ivan is the peasant’s son here? Yes, if he was born, and even fit for war, I just blow - his ashes will remain!

Vanyushka got angry and jumped out:

Without fighting with a good fellow, it’s too early, Miracle Yudo, to brag!
