Lived-were the husband with женою. They did not have children. The wife every day, mourning about it, sighed, охала and cried, as a spring cloudlet. And the husband thought: +Than we were guilty before the god what has not given us the child? All life we are treated at people on births and weddings, we enjoy their songs and fun. Would be at us though one sonny or a daughter, we too would suit a feast, would treat all on glory and were released from fair reproaches of neighbours;.
Passed month after a month, year after year, and the husband with the wife still remained childless.
Once the old man-beggar has approached to their collars, speaking: +Kind people, give alms for the sake of the Allah...; The wife has taken out to it a flat cake, looks from under a scarf. Absolutely this beggar is not similar to others: the high, beautiful, elegantly dressed old man; the beard at it white-white, the person is shone, the staff shines, as gold, хурджин absolutely brand new, embroidered with patterns. In heart of the woman the hope has flashed:
- Hey, the grandfather, you, apparently, the person skilled, have much seen on the century, we with the husband do not have children, we are ashamed of people. Advise, as to us to be. After all the most light house without the child is gloomy, and the cosy court yard is uncomfortable.
The old man has got from хурджина a red apple and has told:
- This apple from a tree which grows on the bank of a spring with curative water. Will halve it, one half eat, and another - give to the husband and at you the beautiful boy will be born.
The woman was delighted, has entered into the house, has divided an apple on two половинки, has eaten one of them. The apple was such tasty, she never in a life ate anything similar. Not having kept, she has eaten also another половинку an apple and, having been ashamed of the act, has told nothing to the husband.
Has passed nine months, nine days both nine hours, and the wife has given birth to the tiny boy. Such small, that spouses were surprised and have become puzzled. The husband, having heaved a deep sigh, has told:
- All life we dreamt of the child how so happens, what our sonny was born tiny, how peas?! As though people did not begin to laugh and sentence over us: +that supposedly it for the child?;
- And such at us was not, and for it thank, and people start up to itself say, that want. Anyway, now we are not childless, - his wife has calmed.
Having consulted, they named the little son Peas and dreamt, that he has somewhat quicker grown and became the clever and quick assistant.
Hopes of parents have come true: the Peas have quickly grown up, became the clever, sharp and dexterous little boy.
Mother to a spring behind water will gather, and he already runs to it:
- Do not worry, mummy, I descend! - takes a bucket and brings water.
The father will be going to prick fire wood, and it to it:
- The daddy, you have come from work tired, I will pin, - with these words takes from the father an axe, and minutes will not pass, and it will split three-four trees into logs.
Will want to sweep mother a court yard, and he runs to it:
- Mummy, give me a broom, I will sweep, yes so will go and will sweep a court yard as if who has licked it language.
The father will gather for a market, and it takes from it from hands хурджин, showers to itself on a shoulder, headlong runs and comes back with purchases.
Once the father has gone to press wheat, and mother, having cooked food, has decided to carry to it.
- Mummy, give I will carry, - the Peas have told. Has lifted a dish, has put it to itself on a head and, having begun a song, has gone.
People were surprised, looked back around: that it for the person, we it hear a voice, and most it we do not see. And having noticed Peas, were surprised even more: as such little boy bears such big dish on a head.
Having come in the field, the Peas have put a dish on межу. Has then approached to the father and has taken at its a scythe:
- The daddy, you sit down, eat, have a rest, and I покошу.
The plait was twice more Peas, therefore it became a pity to the father of the boy, and he has told:
- The sonny, you is now tired from road, have a rest, support, I покошу.
- No, the daddy, I was not has got tired, - the Peas have answered and, having taken a scythe, have started to mow. The peas were the boy quick, it has quickly cut all wheat, has co-ordinated it in sheaves, and sheaves has laid in shocks.
The father was very happy.
-Now, the sonny, go home, - he has told to Peas, - I will thresh wheat, провею, I will sift, then I will come.
The peas, singing and dancing, came back home. And here its voice услыхал a hungry Wolf. +Here the god has sent me a dinner, now I наемся;, - he has thought and has rushed to Peas:
- Hey you, I represented you the person solid, and you tiny, as горошинка! But all the same, what you were, the boy, I will eat you, - very much I have got hungry.
- Eat me, you will repent, - the Peas have answered, - in vain do not trouble itself, go go better to other place to satisfy the hunger.
The Wolf of Peas has not obeyed, took and has swallowed it and has gone further.
The wolf went-went, sees - a flock of sheep. Having nestled a stomach to the earth, it began to be stolen to seize a lamb, and the Peas from it and speak:
- Hey, the shepherd, look, the Wolf will eat your sheep!
The shepherd, having cluck the dogs, has set them on the Wolf. The hungry Wolf has hardly escaped, and, having escaped, again began to ransack and has come across other flock. And again the Peas from it speak:
- Hey, shepherds, be protected, the Wolf will eat your sheep!
Shepherds, having seized sticks, have driven a hungry Wolf away. Exhausted with Peas, absolutely having grown weak, the Wolf has repented of the act and in such pitiable condition has reached one well. Jumps round a well, rushes about there-here, has then bent, and the Peas were rolled out from it and have fallen in water. The wolf was delighted, that has got rid of it, and has escaped.
As the Peas tried, it could not get out of a well in any way. +That have heard my voice and have started me to search, I will sing;, - he has solved. Nearby to those places there passed a flock of sheep, shepherds have heard a voice of Peas and speak: +It seems, it is that voice which left at the Wolf from within, whether there is no it again here somewhere nearby;. They hear the Voice, and the Wolf, the owner of a voice do not see.
- Approach to a well, glance inside! - the ingenious Peas have cried, calling up shepherds.
In a well it was dark also shepherds have seen of nothing.
- Stretch a staff edge! - the Peas have told from a well.
Shepherds have stretched it a staff, the Peas has grasped it and speaks:
- Now pull!
They have pulled out a staff, look, and there the little boy.
- Whether you spoke it at the Wolf from a stomach? - Ask.
- I, - answer Peas.
- You have rescued our sheep from the Wolf, - shepherds have told and have given it кувшинчик sour creams.
Having put кувшинчик on a head, the Peas from songs has come back home.
The father with mother sat, горюя and crying: +Our sonny was gone, that we, unfortunate, we will do now, we cannot live without it; as have suddenly heard the Peas song, have run out and, having seen the son so were delighted, that in a fairy tale to tell, a feather to describe.
So they have reached what wished, let and your dreams will come true.
