Alexey Tolstoy
BY MAGIC
There lived an old man. He had three sons: two smart ones, the third fool Emelya.
Those brothers work, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, not wanting to know anything.
Once the brothers went to the market, and the women, daughters-in-law, let's send him:
Go, Emelya, for water.
And he told them from the stove:
Reluctance…
Go, Emelya, otherwise the brothers will return from the market, they won’t bring you presents.
OK.
Emel got down from the stove, put on his shoes, got dressed, took buckets and an ax and went to the river.
He cut through the ice, scooped up buckets and put them down, and he himself looks into the hole. And I saw Emelya in the hole in the pike. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:
Here the ear will be sweet!
Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll be useful to you.
And Emelya laughs:
What will you be useful to me for? .. No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll order my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup. The ear will be sweet.
The pike pleaded again:
Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll do whatever you want.
Okay, just show first that you are not deceiving me, then I will let you go.
Pike asks him:
Emelya, Emelya, tell me - what do you want now?
I want the buckets to go home on their own and the water would not spill ...
The pike tells him:
Remember my words, when you want something - just say: “By pike command at my will."
Emelya says:
At the command of the pike, at my will - go, buckets, go home yourself ...
He just said - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went for the buckets.
Buckets go through the village, people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckling ... The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.
How much time has passed, how little time - the daughters-in-law say to him:
Emelya, why are you lying? I would go and chop wood.
Reluctance…
If you don’t chop wood, the brothers will return from the market, they won’t bring you gifts.
Emelya is reluctant to get off the stove. He remembered the pike and slowly says:
At the command of the pike, at my desire - go, an ax, chop wood, and go into the hut yourself and put the firewood in the oven ...
The ax jumped out from under the bench - and into the yard, and let's chop firewood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and climbs into the oven.
How much, how little time has passed - the daughters-in-law again say:
Emelya, we have no more firewood. Go to the forest, chop.
And he told them from the stove:
What are you up to?
How - what are we doing? .. Is it our business to go to the forest for firewood?
I don't feel like...
Well, there will be no gifts for you.
Nothing to do. Emel's tears from the stove, put on shoes, got dressed. I took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and got into a sleigh:
Dads, open the gate!
His bridesmaids say to him:
Why, you fool, got into the sleigh, but didn’t harness the horse?
I don't need a horse.
The daughters-in-law opened the gates, and Emelya said quietly:
At the command of the pike, at my will - go, sleigh, into the forest ...
The sledge itself went to the gate, and so quickly - it was impossible to catch up on a horse.
And I had to go to the forest through the city, and then he crushed a lot of people, suppressed them. The people are shouting: “Hold him! Catch him! And he, you know, drives the sleigh. Came to the forest
At the command of the pike, at my desire - an ax, chop dry firewood, and you, firewood, yourself fall into the sleigh, knit yourself ...
The ax began to chop, chop dry wood, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and knitted with a rope.
Then Emelya ordered the ax to knock out a club for himself - such that he could hardly lift it. Sat on the cart:
At the command of the pike, at my will - go, sleigh, home ...
The sleigh raced home. Again Emelya is passing through the city where just now he crushed, crushed a lot of people, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and dragged her from the cart, scolded and beat her. He sees that things are bad, and slowly:
At the command of the pike, at my will - come on, club, break off their sides ...
The club jumped out - and let's beat. The people rushed away, and Emelya came home and climbed onto the stove.
How long, how short - the tsar heard about Emelin's tricks and sends an officer after him - to find him and bring him to the palace.
An officer arrives in that village, enters the hut where Emelya lives, and asks:
Are you a fool Emelya?
And he is from the stove:
And what do you need?
Get dressed quickly, I'll take you to the king.
And I don't feel like...
The officer got angry and hit him on the cheek.
And Emelya says quietly:
At the command of the pike, at my will - a baton, break off his sides ...
The club jumped out - and let's beat the officer, he took his legs by force.
The tsar was surprised that his officer could not cope with Emelya, and sends his greatest nobleman:
Bring the fool Emelya to me in the palace, otherwise I will take off my head from my shoulders.
He bought the biggest nobleman raisins, prunes, gingerbread, came to that village, entered that hut and began to ask his daughters-in-law what Emelya loved.
Our Emelya loves to be kindly asked and promised a red caftan - then he will do whatever you ask.
The greatest nobleman gave Emela raisins, prunes, gingerbread and said:
Emelya, Emelya, why are you lying on the stove? Let's go to the king.
I'm warm here...
Emelya, Emelya, the tsar will give you good food and drink - please, let's go.
And I don't feel like...
Emelya, Emelya, the tsar will give you a red caftan, a hat and boots.
Emelya thought and thought:
Well, okay, you go ahead, and I'll follow you.
The nobleman left, and Emelya lay still and said:
At the command of the pike, at my desire - come on, bake, go to the king ...
Here in the hut the corners cracked, the roof shook, the wall flew out, and the furnace itself went along the street, along the road, straight to the king ...
The king looks out the window, marvels:
What is this miracle?
The greatest nobleman answers him:
And this is Emelya on the stove going to you.
The king came out onto the porch:
Something, Emelya, there are a lot of complaints about you! You crushed a lot of people.
And why did they climb under the sled?
At this time, the tsar's daughter, Princess Marya, was looking at him through the window. Emelya saw her at the window and said quietly:
At the command of the pike, at my will - let the tsar's daughter fall in love with me ...
And he also said:
Go, bake, go home...
The stove turned and went home, entered the hut and stood in its original place. Emelya is lying down again. And the king in the palace screams and tears. Princess Marya misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya. Then the tsar got into trouble, agonized and said again to the greatest nobleman:
Go, bring Emelya to me, alive or dead, or I'll take my head off my shoulders.
The great nobleman bought sweet wines and various snacks, went to that village, entered that hut and began to regale Emelya.
Emelya got drunk, ate, got tipsy and went to bed. And the nobleman put him in a wagon and took him to the king.
The king immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled up. They put Emelya and Marya Tsarevna in it, pitched it and threw the barrel into the sea.
How long, how short - Emelya woke up, he sees - it's dark, crowded:
Where am I?
And they answer him:
Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! They pitched us into a barrel, threw us into the blue sea.
And who are you?
I am Princess Mary.
Emelya says:
At the behest of the pike, at my will - violent winds, roll the barrel onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand.
The winds blew violently. The sea was agitated, the barrel was thrown onto a dry shore, on yellow sand. Emelya and Mariatsarevna left it.
Emelyushka, where are we going to live? Build any kind of hut.
And I don't feel like it.
Then she began to ask him even more, and he said:
At the command of the pike, at my will - line up, stone palace with a golden roof ...
As soon as he said, a stone palace with a golden roof appeared. Around - green Garden: flowers bloom and birds sing. Marya Tsarevna and Emelya entered the palace and sat down by the little window.
Emelyushka, can't you become handsome?
Here Emelya did not think for a long time:
By pike command, by my desire - to become me good fellow, written handsome ...
And Emelya became such that neither in a fairy tale can be said, nor described with a pen.
And at that time the king went hunting and sees - there is a palace where there was nothing before.
What kind of ignoramus has set up a palace on my land without my permission?
And he sent to find out, to ask: “Who are they?”
The ambassadors ran, stood under the window, asking questions.
Emelya answers them:
Ask the king to visit me, I will tell him myself.
The king came to visit him. Emelya meets him, leads him to the palace, puts him at the table. They start drinking. The king eats, drinks and is not surprised:
Who are you, good fellow?
Do you remember the fool Emelya - how he came to you on the stove, and you ordered him and your daughter to be pitched into a barrel, thrown into the sea? I am the same Emelya. If I want, I will burn and destroy your entire kingdom.
The king was very frightened, began to ask for forgiveness:
Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but don't ruin me!
Here they arranged a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Princess Marya and began to rule the kingdom.
Here the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened - well done.
...In the Russian folk tale "After pike command» talks about simple guy from peasant family named Emelya. In his family, Emelya was considered a narrow-minded person, and he had no particular craving for physical labor. Most of all, Emelya loved to lie on the stove. It took a lot of work to persuade Emelya to do something around the house. He agreed to do the job only if he was promised a present.
Once I managed to lift Emelya from the stove and send him to the river for water. It was winter. Emel took buckets and an ax and went to the river. On the river, he not only cut an ice-hole and collected water, but also managed to catch a pike with his bare hands. The pike turned out to be not simple, but magical. She said to Emily cherished words who fulfill any desire. Emelya immediately wished that the buckets of water would go home by themselves.
Then the magic words helped to chop wood. And when the firewood ran out, Emelya, on a sleigh alone, without horses, went to the forest. In the forest, the ax chopped the wood himself, the firewood itself formed in the sledge, and Emelya returned home.
The tsar himself learned about the unusual deeds of Emelya. He ordered Emelya to be delivered to his palace. Emelya showed ingenuity here too. By using magic words he went to the king right lying on the stove. In the palace, Emelya liked the princess, and again he used magic words to make the king's daughter fall in love with him. The king did not like such a candidate for grooms. Emelya was sedated by deceit and, together with the princess in a barrel, was sent across the sea.
When Emelya woke up in a barrel, he was not at a loss, but asked the waves and the wind to throw him ashore and free him from the barrel. At the request of the princess, Emelya decided to build a rich palace on the other side, and he himself became handsome.
Once the king passed by the palace. Emelya invited him to visit and the king saw how rich and strong he had become. The king was frightened, asked Emelya for forgiveness and gave Emelya the kingdom, and married his daughter to him.
Takovo summary fairy tales "By the command of the pike."
Fairy tale hero peasant son Emelya, turned out to be not so stupid person. Having become the owner of magic words, he showed remarkable imagination, inventing how hard peasant labor could be facilitated.
First of all, a fairy tale teaches us mindfulness. If Emelya had not been an attentive person, he would not have noticed a pike in the hole. The fairy tale also teaches us to be dexterous and resourceful. Emelya, noticing a pike, was not at a loss and caught it with his bare hands. We can say that he literally "caught luck by the tail" and, as a result, got the opportunity to work miracles. It should be noted that in this tale the pike symbolizes the nature around us. By carefully observing the phenomena of nature, people gradually learned its secrets, and came up with many useful things - a wheel, self-propelled carts, many other useful things, and even learned to fly in the sky like birds.
The main meaning of the fairy tale "By the Pike" is that a person's happiness depends on himself. If you don't know what to want, then nothing will happen. Emelya, although presented to us as a stupid simpleton, actually wanted happiness, and he got it. And we judge everything, as they say, by the end result.
Of course, in real life we will not catch the magic pike, but in order to succeed in life, you need to have a good idea of \u200b\u200bwhat you need to strive for. Emelya knew what he wanted and was able to properly take advantage of the new opportunities that the pike had given him.
il-was an old man. He had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya. Those brothers work, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, not wanting to know anything.
Once the brothers went to the market, and the women, daughters-in-law, let's send him:
- Go, Emelya, for water.
And he told them from the stove:
- Reluctance...
- Go, Emelya, otherwise the brothers will return from the market, they will not bring you gifts.
- OK.
Emel got down from the stove, put on his shoes, got dressed, took buckets and an ax and went to the river.
He cut through the ice, scooped up buckets and put them down, and he himself looks into the hole. And I saw Emelya in the hole in the pike.
He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:
- Here the ear will be sweet!
Suddenly the pike says to him in a human voice:
- Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll be useful to you.
And Emelya laughs:
- What will you use me for? No, I’ll carry you home, I’ll tell my daughters-in-law to cook the fish soup. The ear will be sweet.
The pike pleaded again:
- Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll do whatever you want.
- Okay, just show first that you are not deceiving me, then I will let you go.
Pike asks him:
- Emelya, Emelya, tell me - what do you want now?
- I want the buckets to go home on their own and the water would not spill ...
The pike tells him:
- Remember my words: when you want something - just say:
By pike command,
According to my desire.
Emelya says:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
go, buckets, go home yourself ...
He just said - the buckets themselves went uphill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went for the buckets.
Buckets go through the village, people marvel, and Emelya walks behind, chuckling ... The buckets went into the hut and themselves stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.
How much time has passed, how little time has passed - the daughters-in-law say to him:
- Emelya, why are you lying? I would go and chop wood.
- Reluctance...
- You won’t chop wood, the brothers will return from the market, they won’t bring you presents.
Emelya is reluctant to get off the stove. He remembered the pike and slowly says:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
go, axe, chop wood, and firewood - go into the hut yourself and put it in the oven ...
The ax jumped out from under the bench - and into the yard, and let's chop firewood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and climbs into the oven.
How much, how little time has passed - the daughters-in-law again say:
- Emelya, we have no more firewood. Go to the forest, chop.
And he told them from the stove:
- What are you up to?
- How are we doing? .. Is it our business to go to the forest for firewood?
I don't feel like...
- Well, there will be no gifts for you.
Nothing to do. Emel's tears from the stove, put on shoes, got dressed. I took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and got into a sleigh:
- Dads, open the gate!
His bridesmaids say to him:
- What are you, fool, got into the sleigh, and the horse is not harnessed?
- I don't need a horse.
The daughters-in-law opened the gates, and Emelya said quietly:
By pike command,
According to my wish -
go, sleigh, into the forest ...
The sleigh drove through the gates on its own, so fast that it was impossible to catch up on a horse.
And I had to go to the forest through the city, and then he crushed a lot of people, suppressed them. The people are shouting “Hold it! Catch him! And he knows the sleigh drives.

The sleigh raced home. Again Emelya is passing through the city where just now he crushed, crushed a lot of people, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and dragged her from the cart, scolded and beat her.
He sees that things are bad, and slowly:

Main character fairy tales - Emelya - absorbed both negative and positive traits an ordinary Russian guy of his time.
Unknown author
Some fairy tales appear on their own, others are invented by writers. How did the story called "By the Pike" come about? The fairy tale, the author of which is still unknown, is the product of folk art. It had several variations and different regions told differently.
The Russian ethnographer Afanasiev, following the example of the Brothers Grimm or Charles Perrault, decided to organize a voyage around the country and collect scattered legends into one voluminous work, so to speak, to systematize the national heritage. He slightly changed the title of the story and generalized the individual elements that differed depending on the region. Thanks to this, the fairy tale "Emelya and the Pike" gained popularity.
The next one who undertook to cut a familiar plot was Alexei Tolstoy. He added to folk epic literary beauty and returned to the work the old name "By the Pike's Command". The fairy tale, the author of which tried to make it more interesting for children, quickly scattered around Moscow and St. Petersburg, and local theaters even added a new performance to their repertoire.
Main characters
The main character of this legend is a certain not too quick young guy Emelya. It contains those negative qualities that prevent him from leading a good life:
frivolity;
indifference.
However, when he shows his intelligence and kindness, he comes across real luck - a pike from an ice hole.
The second character, literally the antipode of Emelya, is the pike. She is smart and fair. The fish is designed to help the young man in his personal development, to direct his thoughts in the right direction. As expected in such situations, Emelya and pike became friends.
The third hero acts as a villain. The tsar is a busy man who leads a state of many millions, whom Emelya forces with his antics to descend to a commoner. The tale "About Emelya and the Pike" endowed him with an envious character.
The Tsar's daughter is a prize for the protagonist for taking the path of correction.
Story
The tale "Emelya and the Pike" begins with an acquaintance with the main character. He is so unintelligent and extremely lazy that everything entrusted to him has to be redone by other people.
Emelya's daughters-in-law interrogated him for help with long persuasion. Nevertheless, as soon as someone promises him a reward for what he does, he will immediately set to work with double strength.
And suddenly, one fine day, Emelya pulls out a magic pike from the hole. She offers him her service in exchange for her life. The guy immediately agrees.
Magic Help
After the pike becomes his magical subordinate, Emelya lives even better than before. Now he does not even have to carry out very simple orders.
Magic powers cut wood, walk on water, and even beat up his enemies. Emelya remains very pleased with what is happening. He is so lazy that he does not even want to get up from the stove. Pike helps him with this too, turning the stove into the first prototype of a mechanical vehicle.
During such walks on horseback, Emelya can crush several peasants who come across along the way. He justifies himself by the fact that people themselves jumped under his stove.
It seems that he has no remorse for what he did. The tale "About Emelya and the Pike" contains a hidden moral.
Tsar and Emelya
Having heard about an unprecedented miracle, a self-propelled stove, and even about the cool temper of its owner, the tsar decides to call Emelya to him.
Reluctantly, the "hero" comes to look at the master's mansions. But this trip changes the whole life of a guy.
In the royal palace, he meets with the queen. At first, she also seems rather wayward and lazy. But Emelya decides that it is time for him to settle down, and wants to call her as his wife.
The master's daughter at first disagrees. The monarch himself opposes such a union, hoping that his daughter will marry only noble person or a foreign king.
Emelya asks the pike to bewitch the disobedient princess. In the end, the young man gets his way. The girl agrees. They are getting married.
The enraged king locks the couple forever in love in a barrel and throws them into the sea. Emelya asks the pike to save them. She makes the barrel come to the shore, they get out of it.
The guy asks the pike to build a huge palace for himself, and turn him into a hand-written handsome man. Magic fish grants a wish.
Happy newlyweds live in clover until an angry king comes to them. His palace is much smaller than that of Emelya. The protagonist graciously forgives the sovereign for all the past. He invites him to dine with them. During the banquet, Emelya confesses to him who he really is. The king remains amazed by dexterity and intelligence young man. Now he understands that it was such a guy who was supposed to marry his daughter.
"By the Pike's Command" is a kind and instructive tale. Its end does not leave a concrete guide to action. On the contrary, everyone should think for himself and decide for himself what is right in life and what is not worth doing.
“At the command of the pike” (Russian fairy tale): analysis
This story is like a dream Slavic peoples by using magical powers get everything you want, without much straining.
At the same time, Emelya managed to catch a pike only on his own, when he nevertheless began to do at least something and honestly.
A complete quitter in front of readers evolves into a hardworking, decent person. Having received sufficient motivation in the form of love for the princess, he forgets about the desire to remain lazy, live only for his own pleasure and gets down to business.
If the pike and does not produce on him great impression, he initially takes her for granted, then the girl's first refusal awakens feelings in him.
At the moment when Emelya on the stove begins to crush passers-by, according to many researchers of the tale, the guy shows royal features. After this incident, even the monarch turned his attention to him.
It is possible that our ancestors, who created the fairy tale, saw in the last external transformation of Emelya and internal changes for the better.
When he became more beautiful, he managed to forgive and understand the king, became kinder and more attentive to others. People with visible facial markings were usually considered bad or even familiar with evil spirits.
While Emelya looked like an ordinary, not too pleasant guy, he could not become a king. With the acquisition inner beauty everything immediately changed.
Traditional Russian fairy tales always end hopefully. Most likely, the peasants of that time imagined the happiest day in this way.
"By the Pike's Command"
The catchphrase of the whole fairy tale is "At the command of the pike, at my will." This is a kind of spell that summons a magical pike. Saying these words, Emelya gets everything he wants. "By the pike command", that is, just like that. Without putting any effort into it. Despite the fact that the tale is called "Emelya and Pike", among the people it was renamed in honor of these magic words.
Pike teaches the guy this secret spell. And as soon as it sounds, the magic begins to act, wherever Emelya is. Though on the stove, even under water. In the barrel, he is saved by the phrase "at the command of the pike." The tale is its main thread.
These words immediately became a proverb among the people. They mean an attempt to do something not with your own hands, but for someone else's, most often magical, expense.

"By pike" plan
- There lived an old man. He had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya. The brothers work, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, not wanting to know anything.
- The brothers leave for the fair, and the daughters-in-law send Emelya for water. It is possible to achieve this from a lazy person only by threatening that "they will not bring you presents."
- Emelya goes to the hole and, contriving, catches a pike. The pike asks him in a “human voice”: “Emelya, let me go into the water, I will come in handy for you.” Emelya does not want to release the pike, assuming that the best use of the pike is to cook an ear out of it. However, the pike manages to persuade the fool by demonstrating his abilities to him by sending buckets home by self-propelled. Parting, the pike tells Emelya a magic phrase: "At the pike's command, at my will," with which he can fulfill all his desires.
- With the help of this spell, Emelya chop wood, rides into the forest on a sleigh without a horse, passing a bunch of people along the way, cuts trees in the forest and cracks down on people who wanted to punish him for the “rumpled” and “depressed” pedestrians on the way back.

The cunning nobleman persuaded Emelya to come to the tsar, promising him refreshments in the palace and gifts: “the tsar will give you a red caftan, a hat and boots.” Right on the stove, Emelya goes to the royal palace.
- The tsar arranges an analysis of the accident: “Something, Emelya, there are a lot of complaints about you! You crushed a lot of people." What does Emelya find convincing argument: "Why did they climb under the sled"? After that, he leaves the palace for home, in passing, with the help of a magic phrase, falling in love with the royal daughter.
- Princess Marya demands from her father that he marry her to Emelya. The tsar again sends a nobleman for Emelya. Having drunk Emelya as an insole, the nobleman brings him to the palace. By order of the tsar, Emelya, together with Marya Tsarevna, was put into a barrel, pitched and thrown into the sea.
- Waking up, Emelya makes the winds roll the barrel onto the sand. Marya Tsarevna asks to somehow solve the housing problem - "to build any kind of hut." Emel is lazy. But then he nevertheless creates a “stone palace with a golden roof” and a landscape befitting it: “there is a green garden around: flowers bloom and birds sing.”
- Further, at the request of the princess in love with him, he becomes “ good fellow, written by a handsome man.
- The king, who went hunting, stumbles upon the palace of Emelya. Emelya invites him inside and invites him to a feast. The tsar, not recognizing Emelya in a new guise, is trying to find out who he is. “I am the same Emelya. If I want, I will burn and destroy your entire kingdom, ”the owner replies.
