Nowhere, in the distant kingdom,
In the thirtieth state,
Once upon a time there was a glorious king Dadon.
From a young age he was formidable
And neighbors every now and then
Grieved boldly;
But in old age I wanted
Take a break from military affairs
And make yourself comfortable.
Here neighbors bother
Became the old king
Doing terrible harm to him.
So that the ends of their possessions
Protect from attacks
He should have contained
Numerous host.
The governors did not doze
But they did not have time:
They were waiting, it happened, from the south, lo and behold, -
An army climbs from the east.
They will celebrate here, - dashing guests
They come from the sea. Out of anger
Indus cried king Dadon,
Indus also forgot his dream.
That life is in such anxiety!
Here he is asking for help
Turned to a sage
Stargazer and eunuch.
Sends a messenger for him with a bow.
Here is a sage before Dadon
Steel and took out of the bag
Golden cockerel.
"Plant this bird, -
He said to the king, - on a knitting needle;
My golden cockerel
Your faithful watchman will be:
If everything will be peaceful around,
So he will sit quietly;
But only a little from the side
Expect war for you
Or a raid of abusive force,
Or another uninvited misfortune,
Instantly then my cock
Will lift the scallop,
Screams and flutters
And it will turn to that place. "
The king of the eunuch thanks
Mountains of gold promise.
“For such a favor, -
He says in admiration, -
Your first will
I will perform as mine. "
High-spoke cockerel
Began to guard its borders.
Slightly where danger is visible
Faithful watchman as if from a dream
Moves, flutters,
To the other side will turn
And shouts: “Kiri-ku-ku.
Reign lying on your side! "
And the neighbors calmed down
They did not dare to fight any more:
Such is King Dadon
Fought back from all sides!
A year, another passes peacefully;
The cockerel sits still.
Once upon a time, King Dadon
Awakened by a terrible noise:
“You are our king! father of the people! -
Voivode proclaims, -
Sovereign! wake up! trouble! "
- What is it, gentlemen? -
Dadon says, yawning: -
Huh? .. Who is there? .. What's the trouble? -
Voivode says:
“The cockerel is screaming again;
Fear and noise throughout the capital. "
The king to the window, - an on the spoke,
He sees a cockerel beating
Turning east.
There is nothing to hesitate: “Hurry!
People, horse! Hey, live! "
The king sends an army to the east,
The eldest son is leading him.
The cockerel calmed down,
The noise subsided, and the king was forgotten.
Eight days go by
And there is no news from the army;
There was eh, eh there was no battle, -
No report to Dadon.
The cockerel screams again.
The king calls out to another army;
He's the smallest son now
Sends to the rescue of the big one;
The cockerel calmed down again.
Again there is no news from them!
Eight days pass again;
People spend their days in fear;
The cockerel is screaming again
The king calls the third army
And leads her to the east, -
Himself not knowing whether to be of use.
The troops are marching day and night;
They become unbearable.
No carnage, no camp,
No grave mound
King Dadon does not meet.
"What a miracle?" - he thinks.
Now the eighth day has passed
The king leads the army to the mountains
And between the high mountains
Sees a silk tent.
Everything is in wonderful silence
Around the tent; in a narrow gorge
The battered trooper lies.
King Dadon hurries to the tent ...
What a terrible picture!
Before him are his two sons
Without helmets and without armor
Both are dead
Sword thrust into each other.
Their horses roam among the meadows,
On the trampled grass
On a bloody ant ...
The king howled: “Oh, children, children!
Woe is me! caught in the net
Both of our falcons!
Woe! my death has come. "
Everyone howled after Dadon,
Groaned with a heavy moan
The depths of the valleys and the heart of the mountains
Shocked. Suddenly the tent
Opened ... and the girl,
Shamakhan queen,
All shining like dawn
Quietly met the king.
Like a bird of the night before the sun,
The king fell silent, looking into her eyes,
And he forgot in front of her
Death of both sons.
And she's in front of Dadon
Smiled - and with a bow
I took his hand
And she took her to her tent.
There she sat him at the table,
She treated me with all kinds of food;
Lay down to rest
On a brocade bed.
And then, exactly a week,
Submitting to her unconditionally
Bewitched, delighted
Dadon feasted at her place
Finally and on the way back
With its strength of war
And with a young girl
The king went home.
Rumor ran before him,
She divulged fiction and fiction.
Under the capital, near the gates,
The people met them with a noise, -
Everyone is running after the chariot
For Dadon and the queen;
Dadon greets everyone ...
Suddenly in the crowd he saw
In a white Sarachin hat,
All as gray as a swan,
An old friend of his, eunuch.
“Ah, great, my father, -
The king said to him - what do you say?
Come closer! What will you order? "
- Tsar! - the sage answers, -
Let’s read it out at last.
Do you remember? for my service
Promised me as a friend
My first will
You fulfill as yours.
Give me a girl
Shamakhan queen. -
The king was extremely amazed.
"What you? - he said to the elder, -
Or the devil got into you,
Or are you crazy?
What did you get into your head?
I promised of course
But everything has a border.
And why do you need a girl?
Complete, do you know who I am?
Ask you from me
Though the treasury, even the rank of boyar,
Though a horse from the royal stables,
At least half of my kingdom. "
- I do not want anything!
Give me a girl
Shamahan queen, -
The sage speaks in response.
The king spat: “So dashing: no!
You won't get anything.
You, a sinner, torment yourself;
Get out, good for now;
Drag the old man away! "
The old man wanted to argue
But with other things it is unprofitable to quarrel;
The king grabbed him with a rod
On the forehead; he fell on his face,
And the spirit is out. - The whole capital
Shuddered, and the girl -
Hee hee hee! yeah ha ha ha!
Not afraid to know sin.
The king, although he was greatly alarmed,
He smiled sweetly at her.
Here - he enters the city ...
Suddenly there was a light ringing
And in the eyes of the whole capital
Cockerel sprang off the knitting needle,
I flew to the chariot
And sat on the crown of the king's head,
I started up, pecked at the crown of my head
And soared ... and at the same time
Dadon fell from the chariot -
He gasped once, and he died.
And the queen suddenly disappeared,
As if it had never happened.
The tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it!
A lesson to good fellows.

The tale of the golden cockerel

Nowhere, in the distant kingdom,
In the thirtieth state,
Once upon a time there was a glorious king Dadon.
From a youth he was formidable
And neighbors every now and then
Grieved boldly;
But in old age I wanted
Take a break from military affairs
And arrange peace for yourself,
Here neighbors bother
Became the old king
Doing terrible harm to him.
So that the ends of their possessions
Protect from attacks
He should have contained
Numerous host.
The governors did not doze
But they did not have time:
They were waiting, it happened, from the south, lo and behold, -
An army climbs from the east.
They will celebrate here, - dashing guests
They come from the sea. Out of anger
Indus cried king Dadon,
Indus also forgot his dream.
That life is in such anxiety!
Here he is asking for help
Turned to a sage
Stargazer and eunuch.
Sends a messenger for him with a bow.

Here is a sage before Dadon
Steel and took out of the bag

You won't get anything.
You, a sinner, torment yourself;
Get out, good for now;
Drag the old man away! "
The old man wanted to argue
But with other things it is unprofitable to quarrel;
The king grabbed him with a rod
On the forehead; he fell on his face,
And the spirit is out. - The whole capital
Shuddered; and the girl -
Hee hee hee! yeah ha ha ha!
Not afraid to know sin.
The king, although he was greatly alarmed,
He smiled sweetly at her.
Here - he enters the city ...
Suddenly there was a light ringing
And in the eyes of the whole capital
Cockerel sprang off the knitting needle;
I flew to the chariot
And sat on the crown of the king's head,
I started up, pecked at the crown of my head
And soared ... and at the same time
Dadon fell from the chariot -
He gasped once, and he died.
And the queen suddenly disappeared,
As if it had never happened.
The tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it!
A lesson to good fellows.
