As the muzhik has had dinner with the haughty sir

There lived once on light the sir rich yes the haughty. With anybody to be known did not wish. And muzhiks and absolutely for people did not recognise: from them the spirit bad - the earth smells. Also ordered to the footmen to drive muzhiks far away.

Time muzhiks has gathered, began to talk about the sir. One speaks:

- I close saw our sir - have in the field met.

- And I through a fencing have glanced yesterday - saw, how the sir on a balcony кофей drinks.

The poorest has approached to them мужичишка, has listened and began to laugh.

- Эки, - speaks, - importance! Yes I not that through a fence on the sir will look that, I will want - I will have dinner with it!

- Where to you with the sir to have dinner! Yes he as will see you, will order in a neck вытолкать and is close to the house will not admit! - answer it.

Muzhiks began to argue.

- You tell lies! - shout.

- And here I do not tell lies!

- Well, if you will have dinner with the sir - you will receive from us three bags of wheat yes two oxen, instead of you will have dinner - you will do everything, that we will order.

- It agree! - the muzhik answers.

It has gone in панскую manor. Its footmen have caught sight, have jumped out, wished the muzhik to drive.

- Постойте, - the muzhik speaks. - there is at me for the sir a good news.

- What your message?

- I will tell to nobody, to one sir I will tell! Footmen to the sir have gone, report: so supposedly and so. It became curious to the sir: not to ask the muzhik has come, and with any message. Perhaps from that the advantage what will be... He Has ordered to footmen:

- Start up the muzhik!

Footmen of the poor muzhik have passed. There was to it a sir and asks:

- What at you for a message?

The muzhik has looked at footmen and speaks:

- To me, the sir, with you confidentially to talk. Took the sir curiosity: what is? He ordered to leave to footmen. As there were two of them, the muzhik quietly speaks:

- Tell to me, the mercy sir: how many there is a piece of gold about a horse head?

- And you what for? - The sir asks.

- It is necessary for me...

At the sir of an eye have inflamed, hands have begun to shake. "Э, - thinks, - неспроста the muzhik asks! It is visible, it has found a treasure..."

It began to try to find out:

- Tell, мужичок, on what to you to know it? The muzhik has sighed and speaks:

- Well, if you do not wish to tell - your will. And me the lack of time - to have dinner to go it is necessary!

The sir and the arrogance has forgotten, from greed shivers:

"I will cheat this muzhik - I will entice at it gold!" The sir speaks to the muzhik:

- Here that, мужичок: what for to you home to hasten? If you it is hungry, have dinner with me! Has shouted to the footmen:

- Живей on a table cover, горилки to us bear! Footmen - time-time! - it is live a table have covered, snack, горилки have submitted.

The sir began to treat the muzhik:

- Drink, мужичок! Eat, мужичок! Eat Much! Do not hesitate.

The muzhik also eats and drinks, does not refuse. And the sir know to it all encloses yes pours.

Has fed, the sir of the muzhik to a sailing has given to drink and speaks:

- Well, now go more likely - bear to me a piece of gold about a horse head! I am better to dispose of it I will manage. And you the award will be - карбованец to you I will present!

- No, the sir, I to you will not bring this gold!

- Yes why, мужичок?

- That is why, that at me it is not present.

- How so - is not present? And what for you asked, how many it costs?

- And so, for interest.

The sir was angry, everything has turned blue, затопал feet, has cried:

- Get out, the simpleton! And the muzhik to it in the answer:

- Oh, паночек my mercy! Not such I the simpleton headless as you think: I and have amused at you, and three bags of wheat yes two круторогих воликов have won. To the simpleton it not on reason.

With that also has left.
