In Some Kingdom, there was a merchant. For twelve years he lived in matrimony and had only one daughter who was beautiful. When the mother passed away, the girl was eight years old. When she died, cheka called for her daughter, took out a doll and gave it to her and said:

– listen, vasilisuska! Remember and fulfill my last words. I am dying and with my parental blessing I leave you with this doll; take care of it and do not show it to anyone; and when you have a grief, give her food and ask her advice. She'll tell you how to help her.

Then the mother kissed her daughter and died.

After the death of his wife, the merchant was potuzil, and then he began to think about getting married again. He was a good man; he was not a bride, but he loved him more than anyone. She was already in old, had her two daughters, almost odnoletok Vasilisa, and the mistress and the mother experienced. The merchant married vdovuske, but he did not find a good mother for her Vasilisa. Vasilisa was the first in the village of beauty; her stepmother and sister were jealous of her beauty, tormented her with all kinds of work, so that she would lose weight, and from the wind and the sun, she was not even

Vasilisa all transferred, and every day, all lovelier and polnela, and yet the stepmother with the daughters of her weight and durnela out of spite, even though they were always sitting on their hands like lady. How did that happen? Vasilisa was helping her doll. Without that, where the girl is rainmaker with all the goddesses! But Vasilisa wouldn't eat, but the doll would leave the most tasty piece, and tonight, as she was all settle, she was in the cupboards where she lived, and potcevaet her, saying:

– Oh, doll, eat, my grief! I live in my father's house, I see no joy; evil stepmother drives me from the white light. Teach me how to live and live and what to do?

Doll Pokusaet, and then gives her advice and comfort in grief, and in the morning, all work is having for Vasilisa; she is only resting in the holodocke and puking the flowers, and she has ranges vypoloty and cabbage rained, and the water nanosena, and the oven vytoplena (chuckles) The doll will also show the Vasilisa and the weed from the sunburn. It was good to live with her.

A few years later, Vasilisa grew up and became a bride. All the grooms in the city are prisvatyva^uts^a to the Vasilisa; no one will look at their daughters. The Stepmother is angry with the old and all the suitors answer:

– I won't give up her first! And by the groom, beatings displacing evil on Vasilisa. One day, merchant had to leave home for a long time in trade. Her stepmother went to the other house, and there was a forest in the woods, and there was a house in the forest in the forest, and baba lived in hizzie; she did not eat and eat people like chickens. She had a housewarming party, and then she sent for something in the forest of hated, but that always was coming home safely: the doll told her the way and did not go to the hizzie of baba-Yagi.

Autumn came. The Stepmother gave all three girls to the evening work: one made the lace sew, the other stockings knit, and the Vasilisa spin. Put the fire in the house, left only one candle where the girls were working, and she went to bed. The girls were working. Here's the chest on the candle; one of the macehinyh daughters took the tongs to correct the svetil'n^u, instead of the mother's order, as if by an accident and a candle.

– what do we do now? The girls said. There is no fire in the whole house. I have to run to the baba!

– it's light for me! She said that she wove lace. – I will not go.

– and I'm not going, – I said that I was knitting stockings. It's light from the needles!

– you've been screaming for the fire. Go to baba-Yaga! And the out of Vasilisa.

Vasilisa went to her cubby, gave her dinner dinner and said:

– Oh, baby doll, my grief, listen to me, I'm being sent for the fire to baba-Yaga.

Dolly Ate, and her eyes lit up like two candles.

– don't be afraid, vasilisuska! She said. Go where they send you, but keep me on your own. I don't have anything to do with you.

Vasilisa gathered, put a doll in her pocket and, crossing, went to the dense forest.

She's coming and shaking. All of a sudden, she rides by her rider: the white man, dressed in white, the horse under him white, and the white knight on the horse, the yard.

It goes on as the other rider rides: the red one, wearing red and red horse, is the sun.

Vasilisa went all night and all day, only by the next evening she went to the pastures, where the house yagi-Baba were standing; the fence around the hut of the bones, the fence sticking out the skulls of the people with their eyes; instead of the doors at the gate, the legs Hands, instead of a lock, mouth with sharp teeth. Vasilisa was obomlela and became like froze. Suddenly the rider is on his way: Black Himself, dressed in all black and black horse; galloped to the gates of baba-Yagi and disappeared as the earth failed, the night. But the darkness didn't last long: all the skulls on the fence were spotted, and it was bright as a day. Vasilisa trembled with fear, but without knowing where to escape, she remained in place.
