Russian tales. Sacred meaning
Hello, readers of the Russian Word blog!
In my early childhood I loved very much fairy tale "Po pike command» .
Despite the fact that I knew it by heart, I often re-read the book with great pleasure! And then I got a record with a musical version of this fairy tale. And I never got tired of listening to it several times!
Now I don’t understand why I liked this fairy tale so much!?
After all main character fairy tales the fool Emelya- he's still a lazy person! He lies on the stove, does nothing. And everything turned out well in his life: wealth, a palace-house, and a beautiful wife!
We thought exactly the same thing foreign students, after listening fairy tale “At the command of the pike”. Dmitry Gudkov, Doctor of Philology, researcher at the Russian Language Department of the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University, spoke about this :
“Once in class I read the fairy tale “At the Command of the Pike” first to Japanese students and then to American ones. Their perception of the fairy tale differed like heaven and earth, but in their assessment of Emelya their opinions coincided. Both considered the tale immoral: a pathological slacker receives an undeserved reward. And the Japanese, who learned that this fairy tale is very popular in Russia, generally had doubts about the usefulness of Russian national character. The Americans said that children raised on such fairy tales will grow up lazy..."
Did all of us, who loved this fairy tale so much in our childhood, grow up to be immoral lazy people and terrible slackers? And was Emelya a fool?
Let's try to answer this question. But first, let's reread the fairy tale.
The fairy tale “At the behest of the pike” retold by A.N. Tolstoy.
(This is the most known variant fairy tales! Illustrations by artist German Ogorodnikov.)
Once upon a time there lived 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, doesn’t want to know anything.
One day 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 and won’t bring you gifts.
OK. Emelya 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 set them down, and he looks into the hole. And Emelya saw a pike in the ice hole. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:
This will be a sweet soup!
Suddenly the pike says to him in a human voice:
Emelya, let me go into the water, I will be useful to you.
And Emelya laughs:
What will you be useful to me for?
No, I’ll take you home and tell my daughters-in-law to cook your fish soup. The ear will be sweet.
The pike begged again:
Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I will do whatever you want.
Okay, just show me first that you’re not deceiving me, then I’ll let you go.
The 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 not to spill...
Pike tells him:
Remember my words: when you want something, just say: “ By pike command, according to my wish.»
Emelya says:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
go home yourself, buckets...
He just said - the buckets themselves and went up the hill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went to get the buckets. The buckets are walking through the village, the people are amazed, and Emelya walks behind, chuckling... The buckets went into the hut and stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.
How much or how little time has passed - his daughters-in-law say to him:
Emelya, why are you lying there? I would go and chop some wood.
Reluctance…
If you don’t chop wood, your brothers will return from the market and they won’t bring you gifts.
Emelya is reluctant to get off the stove. He remembered about the pike and slowly said:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish
Go, axe, chop some wood, and the firewood, go into the hut yourself and put it in the stove...
The ax jumped out from under the bench - and into the yard, and let’s chop wood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and into the stove.
How much or how much time has passed - the daughters-in-law say again:
Emelya, we no longer have firewood. Go to the forest and chop it up.
And he told them from the stove:
What are you up to?
What are we doing?..
Is it our business to go to the forest for firewood?
I don't feel like...
Well, there won't be any gifts for you.
Nothing to do. Emelya got down from the stove, put on his shoes, and got dressed. He took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and sat in the sleigh:
Women, open the gates!
His daughters-in-law tell him:
Why did you, fool, get into the sleigh without harnessing the horse?
I don't need a horse.
The daughters-in-law opened the gate, and Emelya said quietly:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
Go, sleigh, into the forest...
The sleigh drove through the gate on its own, but it was so fast that it was impossible to catch up with a horse. But we had to go to the forest through the city, and here he crushed and crushed a lot of people. The people shout “Hold him! Catch him! And he, you know, is driving the sleigh. Arrived in the forest:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
Axe, chop some dry wood, and you, firewood, get into the sleigh yourself, tie yourself up...
The ax began to chop, split dry trees, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and was tied with a rope. Then Emelya ordered an ax to cut out a club for himself - one that could be lifted by force. Sat on the cart:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
go, sleigh, home...
The sleigh rushed home. Again Emelya drives through the city where he crushed and crushed a lot of people just now, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and dragged her off the cart, cursing and beating her. He sees that things are bad, and little by little:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
Come on, club, break off their sides...
The club jumped out - and let’s hit. The people rushed away, and Emelya came home and climbed onto the stove.
Whether long or short, the king heard about Emelin’s tricks and sent 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 from the stove:
What do you care?
Get dressed quickly, I will take you to the king.
And I don’t feel like it...
The officer got angry and hit him on the cheek. And Emelya says quietly:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
club, break his sides...
The baton jumped out - and let’s beat the officer, he forcibly carried off his legs. The king was surprised that his officer could not cope with Emelya, and sent his greatest nobleman:
Bring the fool Emelya to my palace, otherwise I’ll take his head off his shoulders.
The great nobleman bought raisins, prunes, and gingerbread, came to that village, entered that hut and began asking his daughters-in-law what Emelya loved.
Our Emelya loves it when someone asks him kindly and promises him a red caftan - then he will do whatever you ask.
The great nobleman gave Emelya raisins, prunes, and gingerbread and said:
Emelya, Emelya, why are you lying on the stove? Let's go to the king.
I'm warm here too...
Emelya, Emelya, the king will provide good food and water, please, let’s go.
And I don’t feel like it...
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 behind you. The nobleman left, and Emelya lay still and said:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
come on, bake, go to the king...
Then the corners of the hut cracked, the roof shook, the wall flew out, and the stove itself went down the street, along the road, straight to the king. The king looks out the window and wonders:
What kind of miracle is this?
The greatest nobleman answers him:
And this is Emelya on the stove coming to you.
The king came out onto the porch:
Something, Emelya, there are a lot of complaints about you! You suppressed a lot of people.
Why did they crawl under the sleigh?
At this time, the Tsar’s daughter, Marya the Princess, was looking at him through the window. Emelya saw her in the window and said quietly:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
let the king's daughter love me...
And he also said:
Go bake, go home...
The stove turned and went home, went into the hut and returned to its original place. Emelya is lying down again. And the king in the palace is screaming and crying. Princess Marya misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya. Here the king became upset, became upset and said again to the greatest nobleman:
Go and bring Emelya to me, alive or dead, otherwise I’ll take his head off his shoulders.
The great nobleman bought sweet wines and various snacks, went to that village, entered that hut and began to treat Emelya. Emelya got drunk, ate, got drunk and went to bed. And the nobleman put him in a cart and took him to the king. The king immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled in. They put Emelya and Princess Marya in it, tarred them and threw the barrel into the sea. Whether long or short, Emelya woke up; sees - dark, cramped:
Where am I?
And they answer him:
Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! We were tarred in a barrel and thrown into the blue sea.
And who are you?
I am Princess Marya.
Emelya says:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
The winds are violent, roll the barrel onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand...
The winds blew violently. The sea became agitated and the barrel was thrown onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand. Emelya and Marya the Princess came out of it.
Emelyushka, where will we 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 pike's command,
According to my wish -
Build a stone palace with a golden roof...
As soon as he said, a stone palace with a golden roof appeared. There is a green garden all around: flowers are blooming and birds are singing. Princess Marya and Emelya entered the palace and sat down by the window.
Emelyushka, can’t you become handsome?
Here Emelya thought for a moment:
At the pike's command,
According to my wish -
become a good fellow, a handsome man...
And Emelya became such that he could neither be told in a fairy tale nor described with a pen. And at that time the king was going hunting and saw a palace standing where there was nothing before.
What kind of ignoramus built a palace on my land without my permission?
And he sent to find out and ask: “Who are they?” The ambassadors ran, stood under the window, asking. Emelya answers them:
Ask the king to visit me, I will tell him myself. The king came to visit him. Emelya meets him, takes him to the palace, and seats him at the table. They begin to feast. 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 tarred in a barrel and 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 and began to ask for forgiveness:
Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but don’t destroy me!
Here they had a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Princess Marya and began to rule the kingdom.
This is where the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened, well done.

This is a musical version of the fairy tale. Exactly like on the record from my childhood!!!
Let's think about it...
Two brothers went to the market. Why didn’t they take Emelya with them? So he is fool!..
But why so immediately - a fool?! Maybe it was simply because they didn’t take him with them to the market because he was still young and inexperienced. So let him not interfere in a serious matter, let him better at home will stay...
The story in the fairy tale takes place in winter. When the elders have left, the daughters-in-law are fussing about, running the house, baking bread, but what should Emelya do? peasant hut?! Lie on a warm stove and dream!
The daughters-in-law give Emelya the usual instructions: bring water, chop firewood, go to the forest to get firewood.
"Reluctance!"
Emelya is too lazy to do ordinary boring work. And when he finally went to the river and scooped up some water, he did not immediately go home. What is the fool Emelya doing? He looks into the hole. He wonders what’s there in the hole!? A smart person might not even look into the hole, he’s known everything for a long time...
Lucky Emela unspeakably, “fools are lucky”! He came across a magical pike that fulfills any desire. Make a wish whatever you want. Everything will come true!
How did Emelya behave when he asked for a pike?!
So that the buckets go home on their own, so that the ax chops itself, so that the sleigh rides on its own, without horses!
For a fool! Pike, she can make ANY WISH come true!!! But no! Emelya is not like that. He does not need mountains of gold and mansions. He asks for something that he has most likely been thinking about for a long time, lying on the stove.
Emelya wants the water to flow into the house itself (or maybe this is a prototype of a water supply system?), so that the ax can chop it itself (chainsaw?). And a horseless cart, and then a stove that drives itself – this is... a car?!
If you think carefully, all human inventions were born from such “emelina”"Laziness!
Emelya doesn’t just have the mind of a layman, he has the head of an inventor! What kind of fool is he?!!
How can we not remember such qualities of Emelya as resourcefulness, ingenuity, wit, kindness, gentleness!?
Whatever you want, I always liked Emelya!
There is another famous version of the fairy tale “At the Pike’s Command”,
recorded in the collection of A.N. Afanasyev "Russian folk tales". We bet you don’t remember this fairy tale?! You can read it here:
The tale of Emelya, adapted by A. Afanasyev
Once upon a time there was a poor little man; No matter how hard he worked, no matter how hard he worked, nothing happened!
“Oh,” he thinks to himself, “my fate is bitter! All the days I kill myself with the housework, and look at it - I’ll have to die of hunger; but my neighbor has been lying on his side all his life, so what? The farm is large, the profits flow into your pocket. Apparently I didn’t please God; I will begin to pray from morning to evening, maybe the Lord will have mercy.”

He began to pray to God; He goes hungry for whole days, but still prays. Arrived Holy holiday, struck for matins.
The poor man thinks: “All the people will start breaking up, but I don’t have a piece of food!” I’ll at least go get some water and I’ll have some soup instead.”
He took the bucket, went to the well and just threw it into the water - suddenly he caught a huge pike in the bucket. The man rejoiced: “Here I am, happy holiday!” I’ll make fish soup and have lunch to my heart’s content.” The pike says to him in a human voice: “Let me go free, good man; I will make you happy: whatever your soul desires, you will have everything! Just say: by the command of the pike, by God’s blessing, if such and such appears, it will appear now!”
The poor man threw the pike into the well, came to the hut, sat down at the table and said: “By the pike’s command, by God’s blessing, be the table set and dinner ready!” Suddenly, where did it come from - all sorts of foods and drinks appeared on the table; Even if you treat the king, you won’t be ashamed! The poor man crossed himself: “Glory to you, Lord! There’s something to break your fast.” He went to church, stood at Matins and Mass, returned and began to break his fast; I had a snack and a drink, went out the gate and sat on a bench.
At that time, the princess decided to take a walk through the streets, goes with her nannies and mothers and, for the sake of the holiday of Christ, gives alms to the poor; I served it to everyone, but forgot about this little guy. So he says to himself: “By the pike’s command, by God’s blessing, let the princess bear fruit and give birth to a son!”
According to that word, the princess became pregnant at that very moment and nine months later gave birth to a son. The king began to interrogate her. “Confess,” he says, “with whom did you sin?” And the princess cries and swears in every possible way that she has not sinned with anyone: “And I myself don’t know why the Lord punished me!” No matter how much the king questioned, he learned nothing. Meanwhile, the boy is growing by leaps and bounds; after a week I started talking. The tsar convened boyars and duma people from all over the kingdom and showed them to the boy: does he recognize anyone as his father? No, the boy is silent, he doesn’t call anyone his father. The Tsar ordered the nannies and mothers to carry it through all the courtyards, along all the streets and show it to people of all ranks, both married and single. The nannies and mothers carried the child through all the courtyards, along all the streets; We walked and walked, he was still silent. We finally came to the poor man’s hut; As soon as the boy saw that man, he immediately reached out to him with his little hands and shouted: “Daddy, daddy!”
They reported this to the sovereign and brought the poor man to the palace; the king began to interrogate him: “Admit it with a clear conscience - is this your child?” - “No, God!” The king was angry, married the wretched man to the princess, and after the crown he ordered them to be put together with the child in a large barrel, tarred with tar and thrown into the open sea.
So the barrel floated across the sea, was carried by violent winds and washed up on a distant shore. The poor man hears that the water under them does not sway, and says this word: “By the command of the pike, by God’s blessing, disintegrate, barrel, in a dry place!” The barrel fell apart; They climbed out onto a dry place and walked wherever they looked. They walked and walked and walked and walked, there was nothing to eat or drink, the princess was completely emaciated, she could barely move her legs. “What,” asks the poor man, “do you now know what thirst and hunger are?” - "I know!" - the princess answers. “This is how the poor suffer; but you didn’t want to give me alms on Christ’s Day!”
Then the poor man says: “By the pike’s command, by God’s blessing, build a rich palace here - so that there is nothing better in the whole world, with gardens, and with ponds, and with all sorts of outbuildings!” As soon as he spoke, a rich palace appeared; Faithful servants run out of the palace, take them by the arms, lead them into white-stone chambers and seat them at oak tables and stained tablecloths. The chambers are wonderfully decorated and decorated; Everything was prepared on the tables: wine, sweets, and food. The poor man and the princess got drunk, ate, rested and went for a walk in the garden. “Everyone would be happy here,” says the princess, “only it’s a pity that there are no birds on our ponds.” - “Wait, there will be a bird!” - answered the poor man and immediately said: “By the command of the pike, by God’s blessing, let twelve ducks swim on this pond, the thirteenth drake - they would all have one feather of gold, another of silver; If only the drake had a diamond forelock on his head!” Lo and behold, twelve ducks and a drake are swimming on the water - one feather is gold, the other is silver; The drake has a diamond forelock on its head.
This is how the princess lives with her husband without grief, without sadness, and her son grows and grows; He grew up big, sensed great strength in himself, and began to ask his father and mother to go around the world and look for a bride. They let him go: “Go, son, with God!”
He saddled the heroic horse, sat down and rode off on his way. An old old woman comes across him: “Hello, Russian Tsarevich! Where would you like to go? - “I’m going, grandma, to look for a bride, but I don’t know where to look.” - “Wait, I’ll tell you, child! Go overseas to the thirtieth kingdom; there is a princess there - such a beauty that you can travel all over the world, but you won’t find her better anywhere!”
The good fellow thanked the old woman, came to the pier, hired a ship and sailed to the thirtieth kingdom. How long or how short did he sail on the sea, soon the tale is told, but not soon the deed is done - he comes to that kingdom, appears to the local king and begins to woo his daughter. The king tells him: “You are not the only one wooing my daughter; We also have a groom - a mighty hero; If you refuse him, he will ruin my entire state.” - “If you refuse me, I’ll ruin you!” - "What you! It’s better to measure your strength with him: whichever of you wins, I’ll give my daughter for him.” - "OK! Call all the kings and princes, kings and princes to watch a fair fight, to take a walk at a wedding.”
Messengers were immediately sent to different sides, and not even a year had passed before kings and princes, kings and princes gathered from all the surrounding lands; The king who tarred his own daughter in a barrel and sent her into the sea also arrived. On the appointed day, the heroes went out to fight to the death; they fought and fought, the earth groaned from their blows, the forests bowed, the rivers were agitated; The princess's son overpowered his opponent - he tore off his violent head. The royal boyars ran up, took the good fellow by the arms and led him to the palace; the next day he married the princess, and as soon as the wedding was celebrated, he began to invite all the kings and princes, kings and princes to visit his father and mother.
They all got up at once, equipped the ships and sailed across the sea. The princess and her husband greeted the guests with honor, and feasts and fun began again. Tsars and princes, kings and princes look at the palace, at the gardens and marvel: such wealth has never been seen anywhere, and most of all they seemed to be ducks and drakes - for one duck you can give half a kingdom!
The guests feasted and decided to go home; Before they had time to reach the pier, fast messengers run after them: “Our master asks you to come back, he wants to hold secret council with you.” Kings and princes, kings and princes returned back; The owner came out to them and began to say: “Isn’t it like this? good people do? After all, my duck is missing! There’s no one else to take you!” - “Why are you making false accusations? - kings and princes, kings and princes answer him. - This is not a good thing! Now search everyone! If you find someone with a duck, do with it what you know; and if you don’t find it, your head is off!” - "Ok, I agree!" - said the owner, walked down the row and began to search them; As soon as it was the turn of the princess’s father, he quietly said: “By the command of the pike, by God’s blessing, let this king have a duck tied under the hem of his caftan!” He took it and lifted his caftan, and under the flap there was a duck tied as it was - one feather was gold, the other was silver.
Then all the other kings and princes, kings and princes laughed loudly: “Ha-ha-ha! That's how it is! The kings have already begun to steal!” The princess's father swears by all the saints that stealing was never on his mind; but how the duck got to him, he himself doesn’t know. “Tell me! They found it on you, so you are the only one to blame.”
Then the princess came out, rushed to her father and admitted that she was the same daughter of his, whom he married to a wretched man and put in a tar barrel: “Father! You didn’t believe my words then, but now you’ve learned for yourself that you can be guilty without guilt.” She told him how and what happened, and after that they all began to live and live together, make good things, and get away with misfortunes.
As you can see, a completely different fairy tale!
There is no father, no brothers, no daughters-in-law in her. And the hero has no name. They call him "poor"... U-GOD.. U-God.?! God's favorite?! Under the protection of God?!
AND magic words are also different: not “at the command of the pike, according to my desire,” but “at the command of the pike, at GOD'S blessing»…
This tale is closest to folk version . And the people believed that God would definitely help the weak and wretched...
So in this fairy tale the hero is far away not a fool! And an intelligent, honest, hardworking, fair, prudent person who God's help(Well, with whom else!) he became a wonderful ruler, the kind that ordinary Russian people have always dreamed of.
In conclusion, I would like to say that “At the Pike’s Command” is a wonderful, funny, kind fairy tale. And she hasn't harmed anyone yet.
And Emelya is not a fool at all.
In contact with
Once upon a time there lived 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, doesn’t want to know anything.
One day 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 and won’t bring you gifts.
OK.
Emelya 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 set them down, while he looked into the hole. And Emelya saw a pike in the ice hole. He contrived and grabbed the pike in his hand:
This will be a sweet soup!
Emelya, let me go into the water, I will be useful to you.
And Emelya laughs:
What will you be useful to me for? No, I’ll take you home and tell my daughters-in-law to cook your fish soup. The ear will be sweet.
The pike begged again:
Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I will do whatever you want.
Okay, just show me first that you’re not deceiving me, then I’ll 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 not to spill...
Pike tells him:
Remember my words: when you want something, just say:
According to my wishes.
Emelya says:
According to my wish -
go home yourself, buckets...
He just said - the buckets themselves and went up the hill. Emelya let the pike into the hole, and he went to get the buckets.
The buckets are walking through the village, the people are amazed, and Emelya walks behind, chuckling... The buckets went into the hut and stood on the bench, and Emelya climbed onto the stove.
How much or how little time has passed - his daughters-in-law say to him:
Emelya, why are you lying there? I would go and chop some wood.
Reluctance…
If you don’t chop wood, your brothers will return from the market and they won’t bring you gifts.
Emelya is reluctant to get off the stove. He remembered about the pike and slowly said:
According to my wish -
go, axe, chop some wood, and the 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 wood, and the firewood itself goes into the hut and into the stove.
How much or how much time has passed - the daughters-in-law say again:
Emelya, we no longer have firewood. Go to the forest and chop it up.
And he told them from the stove:
What are you up to?
What are we doing?.. Is it our business to go to the forest for firewood?
I don't feel like...
Well, there won't be any gifts for you.
Nothing to do. Emelya got down from the stove, put on his shoes, and got dressed. He took a rope and an ax, went out into the yard and sat in the sleigh:
Women, open the gates! His daughters-in-law tell him:
Why did you, fool, get into the sleigh without harnessing the horse?
I don't need a horse.
The daughters-in-law opened the gate, and Emelya said quietly:
According to my wish -
go, sleigh, into the forest...
The sleigh drove through the gate on its own, but it was so fast that it was impossible to catch up with a horse.
But we had to go to the forest through the city, and here he crushed and crushed a lot of people. The people shout: “Hold him! Catch him! And he, you know, is driving the sleigh. Had arrived
According to my wish -
axe, chop some dry wood, and you, firewood, get into the sleigh yourself, tie yourself up...
The ax began to chop, split dry trees, and the firewood itself fell into the sleigh and was tied with a rope. Then Emelya ordered an ax to cut out his club -
such as to forcefully lift. Sat on the cart:
According to my wish -
go, sleigh, home...
The sleigh rushed home. Again Emelya drives through the city where he crushed and crushed a lot of people just now, and there they are already waiting for him. They grabbed Emelya and
They drag me off the cart, scold and beat me.
He sees that things are bad, and little by little:
According to my wish -
Come on, club, break off their sides...
The club jumped out - and let’s hit. The people rushed away, and Emelya came home and climbed onto the stove.
Whether long or short, the king heard about Emelin’s tricks and sent 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 from the stove:
What do you care?
Get dressed quickly, I will take you to the king.
And I don’t feel like it...
The officer got angry and hit him on the cheek. And Emelya says quietly:
According to my wish -
club, break his sides...
The baton jumped out - and let’s beat the officer, he forcibly carried off his legs.
The king was surprised that his officer could not cope with Emelya, and sent his greatest nobleman:
Bring the fool Emelya to my palace, otherwise I’ll take his head off his shoulders.
The great nobleman bought raisins, prunes, and gingerbread, came to that village, entered that hut and began asking his daughters-in-law what Emelya loved.
Our Emelya loves it when someone asks him kindly and promises him a red caftan - then he will do whatever you ask.
The great nobleman gave Emelya raisins, prunes, and gingerbread and said:
Emelya, Emelya, why are you lying on the stove? Let's go to the king. - I’m warm here too...
Emelya, Emelya, the Tsar will give you good food and water, please, let’s go.
And I don’t feel like it...
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 behind you.
The nobleman left, and Emelya lay still and said:
According to my wish -
come on, bake, go to the king...
Then the corners of the hut cracked, the roof shook, the wall flew out, and the stove itself went down the street, along the road, straight to the king.
The king looks out the window, marvels;
What kind of miracle is this? The greatest nobleman answers him:
And this is Emelya on the stove coming to you. The king came out onto the porch:
Something, Emelya, there are a lot of complaints about you! You suppressed a lot of people.
Why did they crawl under the sleigh?
At this time, the Tsar’s daughter, Marya the Princess, was looking at him through the window. Emelya saw her in the window and said quietly:
According to my wish -
let the king’s daughter love me... And he said again:
Go bake, go home...
The stove turned and went home, went into the hut and returned to its original place. Emelya is lying down again.
And the king in the palace is screaming and crying. Princess Marya misses Emelya, cannot live without him, asks her father to marry her to Emelya. There's a king here
took charge, tightened his grip and said again to the greatest nobleman:
Go and bring Emelya to me, alive or dead, otherwise I’ll take his head off his shoulders.
The great nobleman bought sweet wines and various snacks, went to that village, entered that hut and began to treat Emelya.
Emelya got drunk, ate, got drunk and went to bed. And the nobleman put him in a cart and took him to the king.
The king immediately ordered a large barrel with iron hoops to be rolled in. They put Emelya and Princess Marya in it, tarred them and threw the barrel into the sea.
Whether long or short, Emelya woke up; sees - dark, cramped:
Where am I?
And they answer him:
Boring and sickening, Emelyushka! We were tarred in a barrel and thrown into the blue sea.
And who are you?
I am Princess Marya. Emelya says:
According to my wish -
the winds are violent, roll the barrel onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand...
The winds blew violently. The sea became agitated and the barrel was thrown onto the dry shore, onto the yellow sand. Emelya and Marya the Princess came out of it.
Emelyushka, where will we live? Build any kind of hut.
And I don’t feel like it...
Then she began to ask him even more, and he said:
According to the pike's command, According to my desire, build a stone palace with a golden roof...
As soon as he said, a stone palace with a golden roof appeared. There is a green garden all around: flowers are blooming and birds are singing.
Princess Marya and Emelya entered the palace and sat down by the window.
Emelyushka, can’t you become handsome?
Here Emelya thought for a moment:
According to my wish -
become a good fellow, a handsome man...
And Emelya became such that he could neither be told in a fairy tale nor described with a pen.
And at that time the king was going hunting and saw a palace standing where there was nothing before.
What kind of ignoramus built a palace on my land without my permission?
And he sent to find out and ask: “Who are they?”
The ambassadors ran, stood under the window, asking.
Emelya answers them:
Ask the king to visit me, I will tell him myself.
The king came to visit him. Emelya meets him, takes him to the palace, and seats him at the table. They begin to feast. 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 tarred in a barrel and 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 and began to ask for forgiveness:
Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, but don’t destroy me!
Here they had a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Princess Marya and began to rule the kingdom.
This is where the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened, well done.
I once again welcome fairy tale lovers to the “fairy tale field”. Today I propose to reflect on the semantic content of one of the most fairy tales: Russian folk tale"By magic". This tale does not even have a specific author. A long time ago, someone composed - saw the light (or maybe just really dreamed) of a fairy tale and people passed it on from mouth to mouth with hidden hope. And I didn’t get lost - I didn’t forget!
Brief summary of the tale
One father had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya, who lay on the stove and did not want to do anything. One day the brothers went to the city to go to the market, and the daughters-in-law’s women began asking Emelya to do the heavy men’s work around the house. But Emelya doesn’t want to. His daughters-in-law, women, found a way to persuade him: they told him that he would not receive gifts from his brothers. Emelya agreed, he really wanted gifts. He took an ax and buckets and went to get water. He cut a hole in the ice, scooped up some water, and accidentally caught a pike. I was dreaming about a delicious fish soup, but the pike begged and asked to be released into the water. She promised to do whatever she wanted for him. Emelya asked for confirmation of these words - promises. Just say: “By the pike’s command, according to my desire” and say your cherished desire, the pike answered him. He told the buckets to go home. And the buckets went! Emel released the pike. And then his daughters-in-law asked him to chop firewood and go to the forest for logs.
Emelya didn’t even bother harnessing the horse: the sleigh went on its own, crushing a lot of people along the road: the people didn’t leave the road - but there was no horse. The king of that country heard about those miracles. He ordered to find Emelya and bring him to the palace. Emelya came to him right on the stove. The tsar did not like this, and the tsar’s daughter Marya, the princess, fell in love with Emelya and asked to marry him. The king, by cunning and drunkenness, imprisoned Emelya in a barrel, Marya with him, the servants tarred the barrel and threw it into the ocean. Emelya woke up, sobered up, with the “pike’s” help, he and Maryushka got out of the barrel, “built” a palace, and then the Tsar Father passed by - he was hunting in these places.
The tsar did not recognize him, but Emelya reminded him about “imprisonment in a barrel.” The king got scared and began to ask for forgiveness: “Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, just don’t destroy me!” There was a feast for the whole world, Emelya married Princess Marya and began to rule the kingdom!
This is such a nice fairy tale! And who among us wouldn’t want our cherished wishes to come true, not have to do hard work, and in general it’s funny: I thought of something and it worked out? I think that there is no person who would refuse such an opportunity. Could this really happen? After all, “a fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it”...
What does philosophy have to do with it?
The action in the fairy tale takes place in a large family. The men left for the market. The women asked Emelya to do heavy housework. Emelya was not used to working: throughout his life he spent most of his life sleeping on the stove. I was resting, which means I was dreaming. The women begged and inspired him to do some work as needed.
And Emelya is our Russian nugget, who with her dream - fantasy - attracted an idea - a pike from a higher world.
IN physical world Work used to be more valued physical strength both humans and animals (horses, for example). Mental energy was mastered and developed slowly. Basically, priority was given to knowledge used in everyday life. People who had the ability to think and dream were not respected by the people. The meaning of the name Emelya means idle talker, chatterbox, lazy person: “Emelya, your week.” It is said: “seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you,” then what a person ponders sooner or later is revealed to him.
This is how all the great discoveries were made, and the insights - discoveries were given to “pure hearts”, that is, to those who did not put selfishness ahead of the discovery, but were led by feeling - thought - simply a thirst for knowledge, relief from hard, unpleasant work: here you have boots - fast walkers, and iron birds, flying in the skies, and tablecloths - self-assembled and much more.
Dreams - aspirations
Through dreams and aspirations, man gradually discovered the possibilities of mechanical energy, thermal, electrical, and atomic. We live in three dimensional world, it is associated with ice: cold, motionless. Higher than our world (in frequency) is the world of the psychosphere (middle worlds, cosmic), they are also the worlds of the soul, this world is associated with the state of water: fluid, changing, taking the form of a vessel. But the highest frequency world is the spiritual one. Its variety of mobility is associated with steam. He is omnipresent. Emelya cut a hole - a communication channel with a world of higher frequency (in his consciousness). Each mastery of new energy, stronger than the previous one, given from higher planes of existence, is accomplished through the efforts of people. Now the time has come for mastering - studying the psychic energy of a person; hints will come from the spiritual worlds.
And each new discovery brought the discoverer not only joy, but also grief, according to famous saying“After joy comes trouble according to the theory of probability.” New energy you need to learn how to use it: steam boilers exploded, and electric energy killed many people, and atomic energy is simply a terrible force in the hands of both incompetent and aggressive person(of humanity).
How and in what form a person (and humanity as a whole) will use a discovery depends on the level of consciousness of this person (humanity): Emelya “crushed” the people with a sleigh and a stove, and with a club - the use of another discovery in the form of a weapon - pacified the dissatisfied, and at the same time checked the possibilities of this energy. In the fairy tale, the king put Emelya and the princess Marya, who fell in love with him, in a barrel and sent them sailing.
Review of the greatest discoveries
David Wilcock's book Exploring the Source Field provides an overview of the most significant discoveries scientists all over the world and their fates, which were often cut short after the publication of these great discoveries. We all know D.I. Mendeleev’s table of elements: the first, or rather zero, element in it was ether. He named it Newtonium. Etheric energy our entire physical world is built. After the publication of this discovery, Dmitry Ivanovich and all members of his laboratory died suddenly, and the table was slightly modified.
In his diary entries, Nikolo Tesla said that, in his opinion, Einstein’s greatest achievement was that he slowed down the development of the study of the ether until humanity matured - until humanity outlived its animal programs, otherwise with this colossal force of energy, it could destroy itself. Like this! So much for “walk the sleigh yourself”!
In the nineties, the original table of elements was restored: “at the command of a pike, the barrel landed on the shore and opened.” The palace is built! Any energy can destroy, or you can create, knowing all its possibilities. This is the mastery of energies of different levels.
Why have so many people died on the planet over the last century?
“The task of the sixth Race of humanity is to develop the intuition of the heart. The time has come for subtle fiery energies to arrive on Earth from the center of our Galaxy. The 20th century was marked by the beginning of the Age of Fire, also known as the era of the Mother of the World. Everything that happens on the planet is the cleansing of the planet’s energy from the products of immoral life activity and lack of spirituality: dirty thoughts, rude words, low feelings. It is necessary to move from self-love to love of peace, to love of God, that is, to cleanse oneself of animal programs and energy generated by people with such programs. This is possible with conscious volitional fiery purification through spiritual work in oneself and through this acquisition of the ability to accept the fiery energies of space, and not burn out from them in illness.
The entire Cosmos is born and lives by the law of Unity and Balance of two Principles - Male and Female. The entire universe is built on this principle. The predominance of any one principle over another inevitably leads to grave consequences.”
“The world has become fundamentally masculine and lacks feminine energies. That's why there are more women on the planet. Not because men go to war and kill each other. This is also there. But do you really think that the universe cannot regulate the process of birth, that is, the arrival on the planet equal amount female and male incarnations? But this is not done on purpose. For your planet, your world, feels a lack of feminine energies, and there are more women on the planet precisely to balance the masculine energies that have taken over your world.”
What is feminine and masculine energy?
“At the dawn of the world, the world was stable. There was peace and Pure Being in him. There was no time, there was no movement, there was no change. Nothing was different from each other. There was One Pure Being of consciousness. This is unity. Consciousness that existed forever and ever, and was unchanging and eternal. But then a division into poles arose in this consciousness. And the great transformation of Pure Being into Reflected Being began.
Reflected from what? From Pure Consciousness. Like a clear surface of water in which the whole world is reflected. But then there are circles in the water, and the reflection breaks and becomes distorted. And these circles in the water have been going on for billions of centuries.
Why did the division into poles arise? Why and who did this?
The Creator wished it so. He created this division, and since then the whole world has been divided into two poles, between which the movement of all particles of God occurs. That Pure Being of consciousness, which was originally there, is the feminine energy, the energy of peace and immersion. Therefore you are told that the universe is originally feminine in nature. But your world is divided into poles, and therefore movement between them is inevitable.
The tree of knowledge and the tempting serpent are the desire for something new, what is called curiosity. As for Eve, her role is distorted. The feminine principle never strives for knowledge, for development. The feminine principle has everything.
For many centuries there has been a struggle between two principles. Two energies that must be fused together. And this struggle, with varying success, brings various echoes in the form of legends. And it’s impossible to establish a balance between masculine and feminine. There was a time when feminine energies prevailed. And when male energies prevailed.
We know that there are two energies: centripetal and centrifugal, the desire to unite and the desire to separate, the energy of fusion and the energy of destruction, light and darkness. It turns out that male energy is the energy of destruction, which means centrifugal force, which means darkness?
All names are conditional. Energy has no name. The world is divided into two energy poles. And all the particles of the world move between them. Any movement is already aspiration and movement. Therefore, this is not a woman's path. Feminine energies are peace and stability. This is a world without change. This is pure existence. Any striving and development, any movement towards or away from the center is not peace. You can call it the male path.
Are we talking about matriarchy and patriarchy?
No. Matriarchy is not feminine energies. Any suppression is a man's way. But suppression is the extreme degree of development of male energy. When the potential of energy accumulates, it strives to find a way out and the way out can be destructive (both in the era of matriarchy - the Amazon, and in the era of patriarchy).
How does it work? After all, the desire of a sprout to manifest itself into life, to be born, is also a desire, which means it is a man’s path.
Birth is a mystery
This is what you call a sacrament.
Because at the same time, the miracle of existence appears, the energy of the world that was originally before the creation of the world. The birth of a flower from a seed, a child, in the womb of a mother is a manifestation of the principle “I Am.” This is something that your knowledge is powerless against. This is the essence, this is the phenomenon.
What is harmony?
Each person is a certain combination of male and female energies. And the greatest happiness and rarity is to meet such a partner in whom this combination is mirrored. Then the connection between two people is ideal. They fit together like puzzles. But this is rare. And when paired up, two people begin to try to balance the two types of energies. And if in total male energies predominate in them, then they will always rush somewhere, so they will quarrel or cheat on each other, look for other energies. There are many such couples.
If feminine energies predominate in both, then in such couples everyone is immersed mainly in themselves, in their aspirations and problems, they coexist side by side. But all this is not Love. And only that small part of couples in which there is a balance of these energies live in Love and Integrity. Because everything is harmonious in them. Because they are not harmonious without each other and they feel it. And they do not need others, because harmony resides in them. And their unity is harmony, and this is Love.
What is Love?
This means that Love is a return to Integrity. And Integrity is a balance of male and female energies. And what then happens to a person when he reaches a state of balance between male and female energies? Does he go to another world, to another level?
He begins to exist in harmony. Harmony within yourself and with the world. This is a state of balance. And this is a state of love for the world and for everything that exists. This is how your saints live and lived. You have many examples. In each of you there are rare moments of Love, true love that there is harmony. And you are always striving for this. But there is no need to strive. You just need to be. Just immerse yourself in the world, in being, in yourself. Just stop dividing and become One.
How to balance the masculine and feminine principles in yourself?
There are very few people on the planet who are dominated by feminine qualities, feminine energies. And there are very few of those who have achieved harmony. After all, achieving harmony is not just balance, it is a new quality of energy, it is Integrity. This is no longer balance, but unity. You have a Yin-Yang sign. But in this sign there is still black and white, there is separation, but the parts are equal. But Love is not parts, balance is not parts, it is already a single quality of being. This is a connection, this is copulation, this is a new set of energies, this is Perfection. This is something in which there is everything, both feminine and masculine, and they are not equal, for equality implies parts. This is a whole and perfect being.
If a person lives in love and harmony from childhood, if from childhood he intuitively feels his unity with the energy of the Creator, if he is not rejected from childhood, then he will never strive to appropriate something for himself, to obtain something by force, for in him everything is already there, and he knows it.
Don't reject others. All those who do evil do it after being rejected more than once. And it is enough to simply accept a person who does evil, which means opening to him your energy of abundance and unity, showing him the path to inclusion in the unity of the energies of the Creator.
So love is when all possible energies of the Creator exist in unity and nothing is rejected?
Right. The energies of the Creator move, interact, flow like rivers. They merge into rivers and channels, separate and merge. And as they moved, as they unfolded into Creation, they divided into many forms. But every form, every stream and stream bed knows of its unity with the river from which it originated. And if this knowledge is preserved, then the connection with the waters of a single river is preserved, the understanding and awareness of oneself as part of the river of the Creator’s energy is preserved. Then unity is preserved and love is preserved.
Mechanistically speaking, Love is the sum of all energies that exist in the world of the Creator, but not just a sum, but a fusion that gives completeness and harmony, gives a feeling of the presence of everything, a feeling of completeness and fullness. Therefore, everyone strives for it, consciously or unconsciously.
The role of the father
The role of the father: to give the child’s energy direction, push, impulse - to show where to move and how to move. It is not for nothing that we call the Creator Father, since from Him comes the single Impulse of Creation and movement, the impulse of development
And therefore, the energies of the father are a mini-version of the energies of the Father of Creation, our Heavenly Father.
The role of the mother
Everything is arranged harmoniously. If there was only the energy of acceptance of the mother, then everything would be harmoniously beautiful, but there would be no development and movement, there would be no change and cognition.
And if there was only the energy of the father, then there would be only chaotic striving, movement without end. But there is harmony, it gives birth to something else; one does not exist without the other, one is the complement of the other, and together they are unity. And any movement of the father’s impulse is balanced by peace and harmony and acceptance by the mother’s energy.
Integrity, unity
And in every man there is the energy of the father, and in every woman there is the energy of the mother. But in each of them there is both, for as a result of their wanderings they have accumulated various variations both, and as they interact, they manifest their qualities, one or another, accumulated in them. And there are courageous women. And there are feminine men. And, if a person was born a man, this means that he needs to work through the energies of his father; and, if a person was born a woman, this means that she came into this world to learn acceptance.
Therefore, acceptance is required from a woman more than from a man. Women, who are strongly masculine, reject this, they do not agree with this, they see this as an infringement of their rights, subordination. But it is the energy of the father that is seething in them. And if they realize that they are a woman, then they must learn acceptance in this life. For the more unlearned, the more and more you will learn. For this is not just a desire to learn, but it is a desire for Unity. And, if you have not learned to merge and accept all qualities, you will not be able to merge with the One, which you so strive for. And therefore, you will endlessly go through these lessons, many more times, until you combine all the energies of the Creator within yourself and then you can reunite with him. This is the wheel of samsara - an endless series of incarnations for learning the lessons of Love. For until you go through them all to the end, you will not achieve unity, but only this is what you strive for - the single Love of the Creator.
Therefore, we can say many times that someone, other civilizations or destructive forces, is preventing you from becoming Love and connecting with the Love of the Creator, but all this is not the main reason. The main reason is you. The fact is that you have not learned to accept all the energies of the Creator, and that is why you cannot connect with Him. Looking for reasons outside will not give you anything. Because it is necessary in literally look for the reason in yourself - why you cannot accept this or that person, why you cannot accept this or that phenomenon.”
What about the love of Christ or other higher entities? Have they achieved Unity?
As for Christ, this is a unique path. He completed the lessons of acceptance in his earthly incarnation, he was able to accept you all. All the actions of people with all their hearts and all their Souls. But he himself wished to remain in certain planes of existence until you all passed your lessons of acceptance, for he senses all of you with his parts. He stayed to help you, he does not separate himself and you and goes through lessons with you. He is ready to take upon himself all the pain of the World and all the suffering of the World and dissolve them in his Love. And this is a great sacrificial experience. That's an example highest love and acceptance, which you have been learning for centuries.
And so you are told that you need to reach the level of Christ consciousness. This is joining to his power. This is the merging with the Love of Christ, with his energies, this is the dissolution of one’s negativity and one’s rejection into the power of his Love. And therefore, for many of you, he became a god, became an object of aspiration and worship, because this is your path, which Christ shows you. It's like a life preserver the hard way knowledge in the world of duality - turn to Christ with a sincere desire to unite with his Love - and this guiding star will show you the way. This does not mean Calvary and crucifixion, humiliation and betrayal (the path that he went through). This means that you, like the light of a lighthouse, will float in the stormy waves of your illusions, so as not to get lost and not get lost, for the light of his Love cannot be seen and lost.
Return to Eden
Love is all the energies of the Creator. You are in the 3-dimensional world, on the physical plane of existence, where you master a certain spectrum of the Creator’s energies. As you rise higher, you become open, or rather, a wider range of energies of the Creator becomes available to you, which you cognize. This is the meaning of evolution, the meaning of your Ascension - the discovery of other energies of the Creator within yourself. And the higher you rise, the more energies of the Creator you discover, master, and accept into yourself. The bigger and stronger you become, and so on until you accept and master all the energies of the Creator, and realize them, and realize yourself as the Creator.
Accept everything. Don't judge, because when you judge, you reject it. Everything you reject will come back to you again. And therefore, if you reject evil, it will still strive for you. And if you accept it, it stops reaching out to you and stops being a part of your life. And in this, the role of a woman is very important, the role of a mother, as a model of acceptance.
This was already the case in your world in ancient times. But then the balance was upset. Now we need to restore balance. Therefore, each of you, no matter how it sounds (both women and men), should show more feminine energies of acceptance and dissolution within themselves. And this does not mean that men will become women. And this does not mean that if they become more feminine, it is bad or indecent. And this explains the processes of development of the feminine in men all over the world in to a greater extent than it was before. And every man must realize that, firstly, he must help his woman develop her masculine qualities, complement her, and not oppress her with his energy and his power, to understand what she needs. And if a woman asks you to show gentleness and romance, this is not a whim, but a desire of her feminine nature.
And every woman should teach her man acceptance, first by revealing this acceptance in herself. For many women also follow the male path and do not fully develop the feminine side of fluidity and acceptance, for which she incarnated as a woman. They must help their man discover tenderness, gentleness, acceptance, and lack of resistance. And in this great power and the great mission of women. For returning to Eden is a return to the Love of the Creator, it is a return to oneself whole.
The king in a fairy tale is, in my opinion, earthly thinking (the king is in the head, like individual person, and for humanity as a whole). “And Emelya became such that he could neither be told in a fairy tale nor described with a pen.” The world accepts, masters and uses new achievements for its benefit: we change - the world changes and vice versa: everything is interconnected.
What happened on Earth after December 21, 2012?
"Your planet, like the rest solar system, passed through a powerful beam-pulse emanating from “ black hole"in the center of the Galaxy. The Creator of the Universe provided quantum transition Your civilization to the next fourth level of development (out of twelve). You are a hologram, a reflection of the matrix of a single Higher consciousness. You will experience changes at the cellular level, the amount of knowledge will change, the matter of the body will change its structure. At the new level of development of your civilization, light DNA will be consistently unlocked, containing the codes (knowledge) of the Universe, embedded in the human genome when it was created by Higher civilizations. They are currently blocked and considered by scientists to be "dormant" or "junk".
At new levels of development (from the fourth to the twelfth), humanity will be able to gain the opportunity to materialize their thoughts, choose a shell (body) for life, and materialize themselves at any point in space. The Creator has never had such an experiment with DNA light codes for civilizations of the third level of development in our Universe. This experiment is the only one and unique in the Galaxy.”
“The king came to visit him, eats, drinks and is not surprised: “Who are you, good fellow?” - Do you remember the fool Emelya? I am the same Emelya. The king was very frightened and began to ask for forgiveness: “Marry my daughter, Emelyushka, take my kingdom, just don’t destroy me!” Here they had a feast for the whole world. Emelya married Marya, the princess, and began to rule the kingdom.” The old opinion is sooner or later forced to accept new achievements. All the experience accumulated during life in the physical world is given to the Holy Spirit: “all is Thy will, but not mine,” “take my kingdom.” This is the moment of returning to Eden.
Marya is a princess, I believe, is the expression here feminine energy in the form of acceptance of the new, both in men and women. Discoveries are preceded by aspirations - dreams are an expression of masculine energy in a person (both men and women).
“Just as God cannot help but create, otherwise He would not be Love, so I cannot help but say
about wings that take you to Heaven. So I can’t help but be a messenger to someone who is in the chaos of doubts
I forgot that those called by the Father cannot sleep in the cool of the shade. I will dissolve your fear in faith,
I will turn powerlessness into hope, so that the Mother of the World in her arms will revive her wings with Love.”
Currently - in the 21st century - scientists have confirmed with their discoveries what mystics of all times and peoples conveyed without evidence.
This is how I see the meaning of this fairy tale, what is your opinion?

Name: Emelya
A country: Russia
Creator: Slavic folklore
Activity: lazy man, owner of the magic pike
Family status: married
Emelya: character story
A talking pike, a warm stove and a self-propelled sleigh - the life of village Emelya is full unexpected decisions and turns. A Russian folk tale tells how a lazy man, with the help of ingenuity and spiritual kindness, becomes the king's son-in-law for a short time. Excellent personal growth for a person who is too lazy to carry a bucket of water home.
History of creation
A fairy tale about a guy who lay on the stove, and then married the king’s daughter - the fruit folk art. Author ancient Russian legend unknown for certain. At the time of the first publication there were 3 various options works.
The most popular version differs significantly from modern fairy tale. In it, the main character appears as a complete orphan who does not even know his own name. People around him simply call the guy “poor.”
The character has no time to lie aimlessly on the stove - the man works hard every day. True, constant work does not bring money. Another difference between the original and the usual Emelya is the words that the hero utters to make his dreams come true:
“By the pike’s command, by God’s blessing.”
Three versions of the folk tale were recorded and published under own name folklorist and literary critic Alexander Nikolaevich Afanasyev. The collection “Russian Folk Tales” was published in 1855. Habitual modern child Emelya is a figment of fantasy. The writer adapted classic version“At the behest of the pike,” having adjusted folk tale according to the norms of Soviet literature.
Image and plot
Emelya was born into the family of a simple hard-working peasant. The young man is the third son in the family. The hero’s older brothers had long ago brought wives into the house, on whom the burden of supporting the family fell. All men, except Emelya, are engaged in arable work. The brothers periodically go to the city fair, where they sell the harvest.
The only one who doesn't participate in life at all big family, - Emelya. The guy is too lazy to get off the stove. Older men have long come to terms with this peculiarity younger brother, so they don’t entrust Emela with any additional work.
But, leaving for the city, the men ask the youngest to help the women with the housework. For obedient fulfillment of household duties, the brothers promise to bring Emela a red caftan. The color red appears in fairy tales for a reason. IN ancient Rus' shades of red symbolized the color of the sun and energy, which the hero so lacks.
The house is running out of water. The women ask Emelya to go to the river, the guy brushes off the persistent requests. But the thought of a new caftan still makes me get up from the stove. Having collected water, the curious Emelya looks into the hole. With an unexpectedly dexterous movement for such a lout, the hero catches a fish from the river. And then a talking pike looks into Emelya’s eyes and asks the guy for freedom:
“Emelya, Emelya, let me go into the water, I will do whatever you want.”
Despite the many negative qualities, Emelya – no Cruel person. The guy releases the pike, and receives a reward for his kindness - now all Emelya’s wishes will be fulfilled immediately.
It would seem that with such opportunities, the guy can completely change his life, but all Emelya wants is the ability to independently transport water into the house, contactless collection of firewood and the ability of a sleigh to move around the village without the help of horses.
Modern psychologists argue that such desires are not at all a sign of stupid laziness. Emelya’s characteristics in this case are creativity and resourcefulness. After all, the young man is arranging own life without leaving your comfort zone.
