With me a noblewoman pillar. Goldfish or the tale of the fisherman and the fish

"The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish" - a work in verse by A.S. Pushkin, loved by children for two centuries. It tells about the extraordinary luck of a simple fisherman, which his wife took advantage of. A fisherman has been fishing with a net for more than 30 years, and once a goldfish gets caught in the net. She asks the old man to let her go, for which she is ready to fulfill any of his wishes. The fisherman lets the fish go with "peace" and does not ask for anything. When he told his old woman about this, she scolds him that she could not even ask for a trough. The old man returns to the sea, calls for a fish and asks for a trough. More than once the fisherman will go to the sea with the requests of his wife, until the patience of the sea mistress ends. The tale teaches gratitude, moderation, condemns greed and pride.

Reading time: 6 minutes

An old man lived with his old woman
By the very blue sea;
They lived in a dilapidated dugout
Exactly thirty years and three years.
The old man was catching fish with a net,
The old woman was spinning her yarn.
Once he threw a net into the sea -
The net came with one mud.
He threw a seine another time -
A seine came with sea grass.
For the third time he threw a net -
A net came with one fish,
With not just a fish - gold.
How the goldfish will pray!
In a human voice he says:
"Let go of you, old man, me into the sea!
Dear, I will give a ransom for myself:
I will pay off whatever you want. "
The old man was surprised, frightened:
He fished for thirty years and three years
And I never heard a fish speak.
He let go of the gold fish
And he said to her an affectionate word:
"God is with you, goldfish!
I don’t need your ransom;
Step into the blue sea
Take a walk there for yourself in the open. "

The old man returned to the old woman,
I told her a great miracle:
"I caught a fish today,
Goldfish, not simple;
The fish spoke our way
I asked for blue home in the sea,
I paid off at a high price:
I paid off with whatever I wish
I did not dare to take a ransom from her;
So he let her out into the blue sea. "
The old woman dismissed the old man:
"You fool, you fool!
You did not know how to take the ransom from the fish!
If only you took a trough from her,
Ours is completely split. "

Here he went to the blue sea;
He sees - the sea is playing a little.

A fish swam to him and asked;
"What do you want, elder?"

"Have mercy, lady fish,
My old woman broke me,
Doesn't give the old man peace of mind:
She needs a new trough;
Ours is completely split. "
The goldfish answers:
"Do not be sad, go with God.
You will have a new trough. "

The old man returned to the old woman,
The old woman has a new trough.
Even more, the old woman scolds:
"You fool, you fool!
Begged, you fool, trough!
Is there a lot of self-interest in the trough?
Go back, you fool, you go to the fish;
Bow to her, beg for a hut. "

So he went to the blue sea
(Dark blue sea).
He began to click on the goldfish.

"What do you want, elder?"

"Have mercy, lady fish!
The old woman scolds even more,
Doesn't give the old man peace of mind:
A grumpy woman asks for the hut. "
The goldfish answers:
"Do not be sad, walk with God,
So be it: there will be a hut for you. "

He went to his dugout,
And there is no trace of the dugout;
In front of him is a hut with a light,
With a brick, bleached chimney,
With oak, plank collars.
The old woman sits under the window
What the light is on her husband scolds:
"You fool, straight fool!
I begged you, you dummy, a hut!
Come back, bow to the fish:
I don't want to be a black peasant
I want to be a pillar noblewoman. "

The old man went to the blue sea
(Restless blue sea).
He began to click on the goldfish.
A fish swam to him, asked:
"What do you want, elder?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:
"Have mercy, lady fish!
The old woman is more foolish than ever,
Doesn't give the old man peace of mind:
She doesn't want to be a peasant
She wants to be a pillar noblewoman. "
The goldfish answers:
"Do not be sad, go with God."

The old man returned to the old woman,
What does he see? High tower.
His old woman stands on the porch
In an expensive sable jacket,
Brocade kichka on the top,
The pearls cut down on my neck
There are golden rings on my hands,
On my feet are red boots.
Before her are diligent servants;
She beats them, drags them by the chuprun.
The old man says to his old woman:
"Hello, madam noblewoman!
Tea, now your darling is happy. "
The old woman shouted at him,
She sent him to the stable to serve.

Here's a week, another one goes by
The old woman was even more foolish;
Again he sends the old man to the fish:
"Come back, bow to the fish:
I don’t want to be a pillar noblewoman.
And I want to be a free queen. "
The old man got scared, prayed:
"What are you, woman, overeat henbane?
You don't know how to step or speak.
You will make the whole kingdom laugh. "
The old woman was more angry,
She hit her husband on the cheek.
"How dare you, man, argue with me,
With me, noblewoman of the pillar?
Go to the sea, they tell you with honor;
If you do not go, they will lead you against your will. "

The old man went to the sea
(The blue sea has turned black).
He began to click on the goldfish.
A fish swam to him, asked:
"What do you want, elder?"
The old man replies to her with a bow:
"Have mercy, lady fish!
Again my old woman rebelled:
She doesn't want to be a noblewoman,
He wants to be a free queen. "
The goldfish answers:
"Do not be sad, go with God!
Good! the old woman will be the queen! "

The old man returned to the old woman,
Well? before him are the royal chambers,
In the wards he sees his old woman,
She sits at the table as a queen,
Boyars and nobles serve her,
Overseas wines are poured into her;
She seizes with printed gingerbread;
A formidable guard stands around her,
They hold hatchets on their shoulders.
As the old man saw, he was frightened!
At the feet he bowed to the old woman,
Said: "Hello, formidable queen!
Well, is your darling happy now? "
The old woman did not look at him,
Only from the eyes she ordered him to be driven away.
Boyars and nobles ran up,
The old man was pushed in.
And at the door, the guards ran up,
I almost chopped them with axes,
And the people laughed at him:
"Serves you right, you old ignoramus!
Henceforth to you, ignorant, science:
Don't get into your sleigh! "

Here's a week, another one goes by
The old woman became even more foolish:
He sends the courtiers for her husband.
They found the old man, brought him to her.
The old woman says to the old man:
"Come back, bow to the fish.
I don't want to be a free queen
I want to be the mistress of the sea,
To live for me in the okiyan-sea,
So that a gold fish serve me
And I would have it on the parcels. "

The old man did not dare to contradict,
I did not dare to say a word across.
Here he goes to the blue sea,
He sees a black storm on the sea:
And so angry waves swelled,
So they walk, so howl and howl.
He began to click on the goldfish.
A fish swam to him, asked:
"What do you want, elder?"
The old man answers her with a bow:
"Have mercy, lady fish!
What should I do with the damn woman?
She does not want to be a queen,
Wants to be the mistress of the sea:
To live for her in the okiyan-sea,
To serve her yourself
And she would have it on the parcels. "
The fish said nothing
Just splashed the water with my tail
And she went into the deep sea.
For a long time by the sea he waited for an answer,
I did not wait, I returned to the old woman
Look: there is a dugout in front of him again;
His old woman is sitting on the threshold,
And before her is a broken trough.

And the people laughed at him:
“Serves you right, you old ignoramus!
Henceforth to you, ignorant, science:
Don't sit in your sleigh! "

Here's a week, another one goes by
The old woman became even more foolish:
He sends the courtiers for her husband.
They found the old man, brought him to her.
The old woman says to the old man:
“Go back, bow to the fish.
I don't want to be a free queen
I want to be the mistress of the sea,
To live for me in the okiyan-sea,
So that a gold fish serve me
And I would have it on the parcels. "

The old man did not dare to contradict,
I did not dare to say a word across.
Here he goes to the blue sea,
He sees a black storm on the sea:
And so angry waves swelled,
So they walk, so howl and howl.
He began to click on the goldfish.
A fish swam to him, asked:
"What do you want, elder?"
The old man answers her with a bow:
“Have mercy, lady fish!
What should I do with the damn woman?
She does not want to be a queen,
Wants to be the mistress of the sea:
To live for her in the okiyan-sea,
To serve her yourself
And she would have it on the parcels. "
The fish said nothing
Just splashed the water with my tail
And she went into the deep sea.
For a long time by the sea he waited for an answer,
I did not wait, I returned to the old woman
Look: there is a dugout in front of him again;
His old woman is sitting on the threshold,
And before her is a broken trough.

Pushkin's Tales: The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish

The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish
    An old man lived with his old woman
    By the very blue sea;
    They lived in a dilapidated dugout
    Exactly thirty years and three years.
    The old man was catching fish with a net,
    The old woman was spinning her yarn.
    Once he threw a net into the sea -
    The net came with one mud.
    He threw a seine another time -
    A seine came with sea grass.
    For the third time he threw a net -
    A net came with one fish,
    With not just a fish - gold.
    How the goldfish will pray!
    In a human voice he says:
    "Let go of you, old man, me into the sea!
    Dear, I will give a ransom for myself:
    I will pay off whatever you want. "
    The old man was surprised, frightened:
    He fished for thirty years and three years
    And I never heard a fish speak.
    He let go of the gold fish
    And he said to her an affectionate word:
    "God is with you, goldfish!
    I don’t need your ransom;
    Step into the blue sea
    Take a walk there for yourself in the open. "

    The old man returned to the old woman,
    I told her a great miracle:
    "I caught a fish today,
    Goldfish, not simple;
    The fish spoke our way
    I asked for blue home in the sea,
    I paid off at a high price:
    I paid off with whatever I wish
    I did not dare to take a ransom from her;
    So he let her out into the blue sea. "
    The old woman dismissed the old man:
    "You fool, you fool!
    You did not know how to take the ransom from the fish!
    If only you took a trough from her,
    Ours is completely split. "

    Here he went to the blue sea;
    He sees - the sea is playing a little.
    A fish swam to him and asked;
    "What do you want, elder?"
    "Have mercy, lady fish,
    My old woman broke me,
    Doesn't give the old man peace of mind:
    She needs a new trough;
    Ours is completely split. "
    The goldfish answers:
    "Do not be sad, go with God.
    You will have a new trough. "

    The old man returned to the old woman,
    The old woman has a new trough.
    Even more, the old woman scolds:
    "You fool, you fool!
    Begged, you fool, trough!
    Is there a lot of self-interest in the trough?
    Go back, you fool, you go to the fish;
    Bow to her, beg for a hut. "

    So he went to the blue sea
    (Dark blue sea).
    He began to click on the goldfish.
    "What do you want, elder?"
    "Have mercy, lady fish!
    The old woman scolds even more,
    Doesn't give the old man peace of mind:
    A grumpy woman asks for the hut. "
    The goldfish answers:
    "Do not be sad, walk with God,
    So be it: there will be a hut for you. "

    He went to his dugout,
    And there is no trace of the dugout;
    In front of him is a hut with a light,
    With a brick, bleached chimney,
    With oak, plank collars.
    The old woman sits under the window
    What the light is on her husband scolds:
    "You fool, straight fool!
    I begged you, you fool, a hut!
    Come back, bow to the fish:
    I don't want to be a black peasant
    I want to be a pillar noblewoman. "

    The old man went to the blue sea
    (Restless blue sea).
    He began to click on the goldfish.
    A fish swam to him, asked:
    "What do you want, elder?"
    The old man replies to her with a bow:
    "Have mercy, lady fish!
    The old woman is more foolish than ever,
    Doesn't give the old man peace of mind:
    She doesn't want to be a peasant
    She wants to be a pillar noblewoman. "
    The goldfish answers:
    "Do not be sad, go with God."

    The old man returned to the old woman,
    What does he see? High tower.
    His old woman stands on the porch
    In an expensive sable jacket,
    Brocade kichka on the top,
    The pearls cut down on my neck
    There are golden rings on my hands,
    On my feet are red boots.
    Before her are diligent servants;
    She beats them, drags them by the chuprun.
    The old man says to his old woman:
    "Hello, madam noblewoman!
    Tea, now your darling is happy. "
    The old woman shouted at him,
    She sent him to the stable to serve.

    Here's a week, another one goes by
    The old woman was even more foolish;
    Again he sends the old man to the fish:
    "Come back, bow to the fish:
    I don’t want to be a pillar noblewoman.
    And I want to be a free queen. "
    The old man got scared, prayed:
    "What are you, woman, overeat henbane?
    You don't know how to step or speak.
    You will make the whole kingdom laugh. "
    The old woman was more angry,
    She hit her husband on the cheek.
    "How dare you, man, argue with me,
    With me, noblewoman of the pillar?
    Go to the sea, they tell you with honor;
    If you do not go, they will lead you against your will. "

    The old man went to the sea
    (The blue sea has turned black).
    He began to click on the goldfish.
    A fish swam to him, asked:
    "What do you want, elder?"
    The old man replies to her with a bow:
    "Have mercy, lady fish!
    Again my old woman rebelled:
    She doesn't want to be a noblewoman,
    He wants to be a free queen. "
    The goldfish answers:
    "Do not be sad, go with God!
    Good! the old woman will be the queen! "

    The old man returned to the old woman,
    Well? before him are the royal chambers,
    In the wards he sees his old woman,
    She sits at the table as a queen,
    Boyars and nobles serve her,
    Overseas wines are poured into her;
    She seizes with printed gingerbread;
    A formidable guard stands around her,
    They hold hatchets on their shoulders.
    As the old man saw, he was frightened!
    At the feet he bowed to the old woman,
    Said: "Hello, formidable queen!
    Well, is your darling happy now? "
    The old woman did not look at him,
    Only from the eyes she ordered him to be driven away.
    Boyars and nobles ran up,
    The old man was pushed in.
    And at the door, the guards ran up,
    I almost chopped them with axes,
    And the people laughed at him:
    "Serves you right, you old ignoramus!
    Henceforth to you, ignorant, science:
    Don't sit in your sleigh! "

    Here's a week, another one goes by
    The old woman became even more foolish:
    He sends the courtiers for her husband.
    They found the old man, brought him to her.
    The old woman says to the old man:
    "Come back, bow to the fish.
    I don't want to be a free queen
    I want to be the mistress of the sea,
    To live for me in the okiyan-sea,
    So that a gold fish serve me
    And I would have it on the parcels. "

    The old man did not dare to contradict,
    I did not dare to say a word across.

    He sees a black storm on the sea:
    And so angry waves swelled,
