Lazy and hardworking. A fairy tale for your older sister has come for you, I want to take you away from here

Once upon a time, two sisters lived in the same area. The eldest was a beautiful and kind girl, and the youngest was evil and greedy.

One day on a clear autumn day, the younger sister said to the older one:
- Sister, let's go to the mountains to collect acorns.
- Okay, they are probably already ripe and crumbled. “Let’s go get ready,” answered the elder sister. They each took a bag and went to the mountains. In the mountains they came across a lot of cracked acorns. The sisters diligently collected them and put them in bags. But the younger one secretly made a hole in the older one’s bag, and no matter how much she collected acorns, her bag would not be filled: the acorns fell out of the hole and fell to the ground. And the younger sister walked behind and, without straightening her back, picked them up.

I've already filled the bag, sister. “Let’s go home,” she said.
And the eldest answered:
- Oh, have you already dialed? How fast! And my bag is not full yet.
- Then take your time, collect. “And I’ll return home,” said the youngest and quickly left.

The older sister was left alone. While looking for acorns, she unnoticed went far into the mountains and soon lost her way.

Oh, what should I do now?
She wandered through the mountains crying. By this time it had become completely dark. Suddenly the girl saw a dilapidated small temple. Jizosama stood alone in it (Jizzosama is the deity who patronizes children.). His face was gentle and kind. The elder sister knelt down in front of Jizosama and bowed respectfully to him.

Jizosama, Jizosama, it has become dark in the mountains. I, poor girl, don’t know what to do. Allow me, please. spend the night here.

Hm, hm! Stay, I don't mind. But lately, as night falls, a lot of red and blue devils gather here from somewhere; they feast and make noise. Wouldn't you be scared to spend the night here? - Jizosama answered.

Oh! - the older sister screamed. “But I have nowhere else to go!”
And she cried. Jizosama took pity on her:
- Good good. For this night I will hide you behind my back. But you have to do something too.

What should I do?
- There is a sedge hat hanging on the wall behind me. When midnight comes, the devils gather, drink sake and start dancing, you hit this hat several times and crow like a rooster: “Crow!”

“Okay, I understand,” said the elder sister and hid behind Jizosama.

At midnight, a lot of red and blue devils appeared out of nowhere. These were indeed terrible devils with terrible faces and horns on their heads. Squealing and muttering something incomprehensible, they took out a whole mountain of gold and silver coins and began to count them. Then we started drinking sake. Having gotten drunk, they began to dance:

Jump-jump, jump-jump, jump-jump, jump-jump! “Now is the time,” thought the elder sister and, as Jizosama told her, she drummed her hand heavily on her sedge hat and sang like a rooster: “Crow!”

The devils, who were dancing enthusiastically, jumped up.
- The day is coming! Trouble! Trouble! The rooster has already crowed!
- It's getting light! Trouble! Trouble!
- Let's run! Let's run!
Screaming at the top of their lungs and pushing each other, they ran away in terrible confusion.

And soon it really was dawn. The elder sister thanked Jizosama warmly and got ready to go home. But Jizosama called out to her:

Hey, listen! You can’t leave something that lies here unknown to someone. Both gold and silver are now yours. Take everything!

The elder sister filled her pockets with gold and silver coins, took as much money as she could carry, found the forest path and returned home.

At home, father and mother were very worried. When she told them about Jizosama and laid out the money, they were delighted and said:

That's good! This is a reward for your humble disposition and kind heart.
Only one person was not happy about the luck of the elder sister - it was the evil and greedy younger sister. She wanted to make trouble for her sister, but it turned out the other way around - she helped her get rich. And she became unbearably annoyed.

And then one day the younger sister took a holey bag and again called the eldest to the mountains for acorns. This time, no matter how much she collected acorns, they all fell out of the hole. And the elder sister immediately filled her bag with acorns.

I'm already full! And you? - she asked.
“I’m still almost empty,” answered the youngest.
- Then let's put it together.
- No need. You're minding your own business!
- Well, let's divide mine.
- Here's another! Do not be silly. Once you’ve filled the bag, come home quickly,” the younger sister said and pouted angrily.

There was nothing to do, the older sister went home.
- That's good! - said the youngest, left alone, and quickly went further into the mountains, - if only it got dark soon! Oh, this sun, how slowly it moves!

Soon it began to get dark. Arriving at the place that the older sister had talked about, the younger sister found a small old temple.

Here he is! Here he is! Here! And Jizosama is standing. Is the sedge hat still in place?
She looked behind Jizosama: the sedge hat was there.
- Here! Here! It would be nice to hit her!
- Good evening, Jizosama. Why do you have such a strange face? Everyone says that Jizosama is very friendly. By the way, let me spend the night here today. I'm not afraid of any devils, and I can imitate the crow of a rooster very well. It's quite simple. If tonight is a success, I will also do you, Jizosama, a small favor.

Hearing this, Jizosama was very surprised and thought: “Who is this strange girl who came here?”

Not paying attention to anything, the younger sister quickly walked behind Jizosama.

Whether you like it or not, I’ll spend the night here. Oh, how dusty and dirty you are, Jizosama! It would be very unpleasant to spend even one night in such a dirty place and not receive any reward. Well, okay!

Grumbling, she took out the koloboks she had brought with her and began to chew.
- Apparently, it’s delicious! Won't you give me one? - Jizosama asked her.
The younger sister made a grimace.
- What are you saying? After all, deities don’t eat. They would call you a glutton. And you're not that calm at all. Ew, disgusting! - she said and looked sideways at Jizosama with anger.

After that, Jizosama said nothing more.
Midnight came, and the screeching of devils was heard.
- We've come! They've arrived! - the younger sister was delighted.
That night, too, a large crowd of devils, red and blue, gathered; they counted the gold and silver coins and feasted.

The greedy younger sister, seeing a lot of money, could not bear it. She prematurely hit the sedge hat hanging behind Jizosama and sang in a voice unlike a rooster:

Crow! Crow! Kukreku! Kukreku!
But the devils are not drunk yet.
- Oh, is it already dawn?
- No, it shouldn’t be dawn yet. It's too early. How strange!
- Yes, yes, very strange! Let's see if anyone is here.
And the devils went behind Jizosama’s back.
- Here! There's a man here! Some girl! They saw their younger sister trembling with fear and pulled her out of the corner.

Stupid! Clueless! I decided to portray a rooster! Let's tear it into pieces and eat it as a snack with sake!

Sorry! Oh oh oh! Help! I... I will be good! Just don’t... don’t... don’t kill me - the younger sister asked, shedding tears.

She barely escaped and ran home from the forest, barely alive.

- What do I need to do?

— There’s a sedge hat hanging on the wall behind me. When midnight comes, the devils gather, drink sake and start dancing, you hit this hat several times and crow like a rooster: “Crow!”

“Okay, I understand,” said the elder sister and hid behind Jizosama.

- Skok-jump, tram-kararam, skok-jump, tram-kram! “Now is the time,” thought the elder sister and, as Jizosama told her, she drummed her hand heavily on her sedge hat and sang like a rooster: “Crow!”

But the devils are not drunk yet.

She barely escaped and ran home from the forest, barely alive.

When they returned, they brought a lot of honey and fat eels. They all ate together, and they all had their fill. The three brothers had an intention: they wanted to fatten the women and the slave Ibitrika, and when they became fat and fat, eat them. Every day they went hunting and returned with rich booty. Finally, women have become fat and fat. One evening, three brothers with tails, languishing with impatience, climbed onto the rocks and, while the Andriambahuaca daughters slept, began to dance.

Hearing Ghagara talk about his things, Ghaunu became angry. He sneezed so that blood sprayed from his nostrils and threw lightning at Ghagar. But Ghagara, raising his hand, immediately parried the blow and threw lightning at Ghauna. And they began to throw lightning at each other.

In ancient times, the wife of the Heart of the Dawn, the lynx, was a woman of the ancient people, she was very beautiful. Her name was Gtso-Gnuing-Tara. The husband of Gtso-Gnuing-Tara hid their child under the leaves of the edible gtsuissi root - he knew that his wife would find him there. But first other animals and birds came there - hyenas, jackals, blue cranes and black crows - and they all pretended to be the child's mother. But the Child of the Heart of the Dawn only laughed at them, until finally his real mother appeared, and the child immediately recognized her. Then the offended jackal and hyena, in order to take revenge, decided to bewitch their mother and turn her into a lynx with the help of poisoned termite larvae.

The next morning, Gnerru and her husband went in search of food again. The husband was digging out the larvae - he was below, in the hole, and Gnerru was standing at the top. He put the larvae into a bag held by Gnerra. She shook the bag, and he dug out more and more and put it on top. Then he went to another place and again found the larvae, he dug them up and also put them in a bag. And now the bag was already full to the top.

The girl quietly took off her satin shoes and threw them out the window. The maid, by agreement, was already standing under the window, she picked up her shoes, ran around the house, climbed up the back stairs, and soon... pretty sister Conrad number two came down into the living room along the front wide staircase. Her blue satin shoes were shining on her feet.

And he went to the large river Bera-Kan (as the Araguaia river was then called), and, turning to it, uttered some words, and entered the river, and stood up, spreading his legs so that the waters of the river passed between them. The river flowed, and, bending towards the water, the old man plunged his hands into the waves from time to time and picked up handfuls of good seeds floating downstream. So the river gave him two measures of kururuk maize, armfuls of cassava and other useful grains, which the Karazha tribe still grows.

The Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph did not know what was happening behind them, they only heard the swearing of the commander and the screams of the soldiers who were trying to pacify the donkey. The parents of the baby Jesus were frightened by this noise and began to pull the cart as quickly as possible with all their might. Then baby Jesus woke up, he was hungry, and he had to be fed, but from grief and fatigue the Virgin Mary lost her milk...

One day they were relaxing by the lagoon. One of the sisters, the one named Nakari, caught an unprecedented fish of unprecedented size. This fish was pale, round and flat. And the sisters called this fish Moon-fish. The Moon Pisces turned out to be difficult. Her sisters barely pulled her out of the water.

Once upon a time there lived two sisters. One was called Latifa, the other Faina. Latifa had beautiful hair, shiny like white gold. Faina, on the contrary, had black, like a raven’s wing, luxurious and absolutely beautiful hair. They were orphans and lived poorly. The girls were very different, but they lived together. They looked after the garden and vegetable garden together, went to the market together, and cooked food together. Their house was always clean and comfortable.
One day, the Sultan drove past their house and saw the blond Latifa in the garden. Said, that was the Sultan's name, immediately fell in love with the beauty and asked her to marry him. Latifa happily agreed.
Faina was happy for her sister, took her to her future husband, and her life went on as before, only without her sister.
Meanwhile, in the Sultan's palace, a conspiracy was brewing against Said's young blond wife. One of the maids had long dreamed of marrying the Sultan, but then Latifa appeared and ruined everything. The evil Zarina, that was the name of the maid, began to invent terrible stories about the Sultan’s young wife and made everyone believe them:

She was sent by evil spirits to denigrate the name of our Sultan, and then kill him,” she said passionately, “she must be destroyed!”

Time passed, and there was almost no one left in the palace who did not believe the insidious Zarina. Rumors also reached Said and Latifa.
An angry Said demanded an explanation from his wife:

Who sent you, Latifa, answer!

“How could they send me to you if you yourself chose me in my own garden,” Latifah tried to call her husband to logic, upset by his distrust.

Said thought about it. He believed his wife, but the seeds of suspicion had already been planted. Wise Latifa realized that people believed evil stories because of her golden hair, because in the east all girls are mostly black-haired. The husband and wife talked all night and came up with a solution to the problem.
The next night, Latifa went to her sister’s home. After talking almost until the morning, the sisters changed into each other’s clothes, and Faina went to the palace, where the Sultan was waiting for her at the gate.
In the morning Said gathered his people and said:

My beloved people, I know that you are bewildered by evil rumors and evil plans. I don’t know yet who decided to denigrate my wife in your eyes, but I will find out later. And now I want to tell you a little secret. My Latifa’s golden hair, which you were so afraid of, is not real at all, it’s a medicinal spray. Latifa took a recipe from her old relative to cure her hair. Today she washed off the medicine and will appear before you in her true form.

The Sultan turned and left. Then he returned and brought Faina with him. The sisters were very similar to each other, and no one doubted that they saw Latifa in front of them. Only the evil Zarina shouted:

The hair is not real, it comes off!

“Not at all,” said the Sultan, “if you want, touch it yourself.”

People timidly approached Faina and felt her hair; someone carefully tried to pull it to remove it from her head, but the hair was strong. Zarina alone grabbed it so hard that poor Faina’s head twitched and she screamed in pain.

So it was you who spread vile rumors about my wife?!” the Sultan cried angrily. - Guards!

The guards appeared.

“Flog her in public and drive her out,” raged Said, “let her wander in poverty and fear for the rest of her life!”

The guards took away the resisting Zarina. The Sultan again addressed his subjects:

My beloved people, from now on I forbid you to believe in any rumors about my beloved Latifa, no matter with what hair she appears in front of you.

Then Said took Faina by the hand, bowed to her and they left for the palace.
That same night, Faina came to her home, where her sister was patiently waiting for her. They changed their clothes again, hugged tightly and Latifa said with feeling:

Thank you, sister. If it weren't for you, the people would not have given us a quiet life.
Faina hugged her sister again and answered:

We are blood, we must always help each other.

Latifa remembered these words. Returning to the palace under cover of darkness, she immediately spoke with her husband. The next day, at the request of the Sultan, a guest from a neighboring state arrived at the palace. This was Said's close friend. Mustafa, that was his friend’s name, was fascinated by Said’s wife, and jokingly remarked:

What a pity that you don’t have a sister, beautiful Latifa. I would immediately ask for her hand in marriage!

Latifa smiled slyly:

Why not, dear Mustafa? My sister lives nearby. Come on, I'll introduce you.

Faina and Mustafa really liked each other, and Faina immediately accepted the groom's proposal. Everyone was very happy, only one thing was upsetting: the imminent separation, which the sisters did not want to think about. We had to part because Mustafa was taking the beautiful Faina with him to his palace. The sisters gave their home to a poor family, which they were very happy about and endlessly thanked the kind beauties.
This is how the fates of blond Latifa and black-haired Faina turned out. They all lived happily ever after. And the people of Said were no longer afraid when Latifa appeared before them, sparkling with her golden hair. They truly fell in love with their master's wife.
That’s the end of the fairy tale, and all the best to those who listened!

Two sisters. Japanese fairy tale

Once upon a time, two sisters lived in the same area. The eldest was a beautiful and kind girl, and the youngest was evil and greedy.

One day on a clear autumn day, the younger sister said to the older one:
