The oldest in one direction, the middle in another, and Ivan Tsarevich in the third direction. The children bowed to their father, saddled good horses and set out on their way. He called his sons and said to them: "My dear children, saddle would you good steeds, go would you about the wide world, to places unknown, where you might catch the Firebird. It was a beautiful time to him and he pondered about the Firebird. The Tsar took the feather, and from that time began to eat and to drink, and knew no more sorrow. Here is a memento from the culprit for you to take. "Well, my dear Vanya, you didn't see the culprit either?" "Dear Father, I remember but don't remember, who destroys our garden.

"No, Father, all night I didn't sleep, my eyes never closed, but I didn't see anything." His sons tried to comfort him: "Dear Father, don't grieve, we ourselves will guard the garden." The oldest son said: "Today is my turn, I will go to watch over the garden." The oldest son set out for the garden.Ī little while before evening, there wasn't a trace of anyone, and he lay down on the soft grass and fell asleep.
