In the foreground, left and right, are large, thick, gnarled trees of an ominous appearance. Fields in the background.

A Soldier comes out from behind a tree on the left and steps towards the tree on the right.

Soldier (singing)

There was a soldier from the service, loudly
He sang the song.
All beat up! All holey!
No hut, no woman -
Didn't fight.
At-two left! At-two right!
Hungry men are carried in satchels
Trouble behind.
A brave guy went to war,
And he returned from the war, brothers,
Without one leg.
At-two right! At-two right!
War is fun for the king
General - honor
And the soldier - only glory,
But with what this glory
Do we soldiers eat?

From behind a tree on the right, an old Witch comes out towards the Soldier.

Witch (smartly)

Eat well, servant,
Yes, and he's good!
Your backpack is beautiful.
It's a pity you're carrying an empty one.

Soldier (derisively)

And what's the matter with you
Old hag?
Maybe she wanted a saber
Ali boot?

Yours are good, my dear,
Saber and boots
But I'd buy better
If you could help me.

I would only agree
Not for a penny.
Will you give a lot of money?

And so many
How much will you take!
Come closer, darling, closer.
(lowering voice)
You go down in the hollow...

The witch points to a tree behind her. The soldier stretches his neck in the indicated direction.

I don't see something hollow.

The time has not come.
In that hollow, at the bottom of the well,
There is an underground passage.
The lamps shine there like the sun,
And the doors are countless.
You will open the last three
Here are their keys.

The Witch hands the Soldier a bunch of keys and a blue checkered apron.

Why do I need your apron?

Listen and be quiet.
Watching every door
Treasure ferocious dog -
For a hundred years, no one, believe me,
Didn't take the legs -
Skulls in that dungeon
They lie in piles.
What is there with a saber and shrapnel
Don't scare them.
But if you plant those dogs
On my apron
You can easily get along with them.

Soldier (suspicious)

What about you yourself
Do not go down to this kennel?

I'm old, honey!
No urine - I have to go to bed
It's time for the grave.

Only, witch, without deceit -
Half the money!

I won't cheat
I'll give you everything.

Well, what about me for this,
Old one, will you?

There is a flint somewhere.
Here you bring it.
From the time I dropped
Like I'm not me
After all, she gave it to me
My grandmother!

Well, flint, so flint!
The agreement is good!

You will do the job, soldier,
You will have a good life!

The witch turns to the tree and starts waving her arms.

Witch (singing)

Olsaver dirtan!
Olzaver chirtan!
Olzapool khirtan!
Olzapur tirtan!

There is a thunderclap. The tree staggers, and a hollow appears in it.

Well, now it's time, soldier,
Here, tie it up.

The Witch gives the Soldier the end of the rope, while she herself holds the second. A soldier with a rope climbs a tree and throws the end of the rope into a hollow.

Is there enough rope to the bottom?
Deep, say.

The Witch shows the Soldier a huge coil of rope.

There will be more if needed
Do not worry!
Go down to even hell
And back - even to paradise!

The soldier puts his head in the hollow. It's getting quite dark. There is a change of scenery of the first and second plan.

If you have met with death,
And saw on the battlefield
In the glare of the enemy's eyes,
And I was never afraid
That death will not deal with you
And this time.
In the black sky a black raven
Curls, and fights with a soldier
Enemy army.
And he is still a warrior -
Not for him, but for her
To die!
Aty-baty! We are soldiers
Without sparing life, we climb
To hell with the horns!
And those horns will be taken!
We are separate, we are together
Like a hurricane!

It becomes light. Now in the foreground on the left is a high wall of a cave with a hollow at the top, a rope hangs from the hollow. On the right in the foreground is just a sheer wall, in the middle is a door. In the background are piles of skulls and bones, lamps in niches.

A soldier is standing by the rope, holding on to its end and looking around. His satchel lies against the wall.

Eco death feasted -
Nowhere to step!
About me in battle did not
Goat something stupid.
And another poor man only
Coming out of the gate
How the troika will crush him
Or the dog will eat it.

The soldier spreads his apron next to the door, and with the key he goes to it and opens it. The First Dog appears in the doorway, guarding the chest. The dog growls.

It is immediately evident that he grew up without affection.
Wow, nice dog!
You have eyes like saucers
And, like a cup, a nose.

The Soldier takes the Dog and puts it on his apron. She stops growling. The soldier takes the satchel and returns to the chest.

And now, my friend, I'll take a look,
What are you guarding.
Maybe I'll be richer
At least for a penny.

The soldier opens the chest and looks into it.

So it is, your chest is copper
Full to the brim.
Vish, the witch did not deceive,
Enough to live.

The Soldier transfers the money from the chest to the satchel and looks at the Dog, the Dog whines. The soldier closes the door.

Better on the front
Than on the chest.
And why torture the beast like that
In a stone bag?

The door disappears, another appears instead.

I'll take a look now, I guess.
To the second door.

The soldier opens it. The second dog sits in the doorway and guards a larger chest. The dog growls.

Yes, I'm small, not scary,
You really believe me.

The Soldier takes the Second Dog, carries it on his apron, sits it down and pets it.

Well, now you have two watchdogs!
Wow, nice dog!
And eyes are like wheels
And, like a pumpkin, a nose.

The dog stops growling. The soldier approaches the chest and looks into it.

Silver, brothers, how much!
What do I coppers!

The soldier pours copper coins out of his knapsack and begins stuffing it with silver.

With them in satchels go only
Goal and the poor.
I'm with this capital
Guy - anywhere!
I'll buy everything in bulk -
I'll go out to the gentlemen!

The soldier closes the door. The door disappears, a third appears instead. The soldier turns to the dogs, they wag their tails.

That's it. I see, glad to meet you
It's more fun together!
I have a trip planned.
In the third of the doors!

The soldier opens the third door. The third dog sits in the doorway and guards a large chest. The dog growls.

Soldier (admiringly)

You are really big and scary!
Very nice dog!
And the eyes! – Two Round Towers!
And with a carriage nose!

The Soldier takes the Third Dog and carries it to the first two.

I don't know heavier dogs
I say exactly!
Sit here while I
I'll take a look at your treasure.

The Soldier puts the Third Dog on his apron. The dog stops growling. The soldier approaches the chest and looks into it.

Soldier (astonished)

So much gold, I guess
No, and in the treasury.
With him all his life in any tavern
They will be glad to see me.

The soldier pours silver onto the floor and begins to fill his knapsack with gold, then with difficulty pulls it out of the room.

I could live like a king
But, whatever one may say,
There is gold in the knapsack - like pieces of iron,
Don't take everything!

The soldier closes the door. She disappears and a fourth door appears in her place. The soldier approaches the dogs and pets them.

Well, my dear, goodbye
It's time for me to go up!
Don't roll your eyes
Tea, not a weather vane!
Here is a piece of bread for you
Yes, bacon.

The soldier gives the dogs a bundle of food, they greedily pounce on it. The soldier shakes his head.

The old woman did not feed you
Something like five years old!

The soldier approaches the rope and pulls on it. The Witch appears in the hollow.

What did my flint and flint find?

Heck! I almost forgot!

The soldier looks around and finds a tinderbox.

Hurry up! Alive!
Did you close the dogs?

Be calm, everything is as it should be!
Come on, pull!

The witch tugs lightly on the rope.

Your reward is heavy.
Satchel something symi.
I am you with such and such a load
And I won't lift
I'll tear my belly from an attempt,
I'll stretch my legs.
You are a flint and an apron
Put it in a backpack.

The Soldier is about to follow the instructions of the Witch, but the First Dog runs up to him and, whining, pulls back on his uniform. And the Soldier ties only the knapsack.

That's right, witch!

Well, tie it up.
I'll pull out a satchel, soldier,
And then you.

The witch lifts the knapsack up and pulls it into the hollow along with the rope.

Soon there?

Witch (gloatingly)

Now, killer whale,
Get yourself out!
(sings)
Deceived, deceived
I cheated!
Got everything back
Oh, and smart!

The witch hides in a hollow. After a while, he looks again.

Hey, soldier, where is the steel?
Where is my apron?
Acting so ugly
You know, with me!
Give back!

I'll give it up when I get out
From your hole.

To be devoured by nits,
Flesh and mosquitoes!
Look, there was a brainy one!
No, you won't leave!
What are you sitting? Well, sit there!
Either way, you will die!

The witch throws the knapsack down and disappears. The soldier starts to climb up the wall. The hollow closes. The soldier moves down.

Here's the damn bitch!
Beelzebub to get enough!
Deftly led the soldier
What to say.
Let's play roundabouts
Grief is not a problem!
And worse than the alteration,
It was, it hit.
What happened -
Seems like a prisoner.
All the same, not in the field, but under the roof -
I lie down and take a nap.
Let the infantry not drink, do not eat,
Still alive -
I can oversleep on the hunt
A year, maybe two.

The soldier goes to bed, all three dogs chant him a lullaby. Some time passes.

Olsaver dirtan!
Olzaver chirtan!
Olzapool khirtan!
Olzapur tirtan!

The hollow opens, and the head of the Witch appears in it.

Hey, how are you, lost?
Service, respond!

The soldier is silent and does not move. The witch sniffs.

Witch (to herself)

Should have played in the box
And played, it seems.
(to a soldier)
There is no point in fighting with me!
So, my dear!
(sighing)
Nothing to do, have to
Fly there yourself.

The end of the rope falls from the hollow, the Witch descends along it with a bunch of keys. The Soldier gets up, grabs the Witch and drags her down.

Why don't they sit at home
Old hag?

Witch (fake)

Oh, entered the lower back!
Oh my leg hurts!
Release me, officer!
Sorry old age!

Bite your lying tongue
Do not shed a gift of tears -
Useful to cool off
One more time in hell.

The soldier cuts off the Witch's head with a saber and shows it to the audience.

Witch (grinding teeth)

I will dream at night!
I'll come for you!
What, my dear, is scary?
I'll pamper you!

My friends, soldiers,
They won't let it fall.
In the next world there are more of them
Witchy old women.
At once loaded into a cannon of salt,
Yes on the back - Boo!
For each other in a mess
We are standing up.
And the villains are like flies,
Don't swarm them.

The Soldier tosses the Witch's head away and picks up a bunch of keys.

Soldier (thoughtfully)

Well, here are the keys, it seems
from other doors.
Unlock them, or something, too,
Al leave soon?
Though it's scary, but passion is like
I would like to take a look.

The soldier comes to the door and opens it.

Hey, is anyone alive? Get out!

The wind whistles from the open door. The soldier recoils.

How much can you blow?

On the walls of the cave, a lot of multi-colored highlights appear. The soldier grabs his sword.

Who are they?

captives

Dreams and spirits!

I'll kill everyone now!

captives

We are all prisoners of the old woman.
You, soldier, saved us!

If so, fly, brothers,
Only churn in the future
Evil witches don't get caught
Don't sit in the hole!

Glare disappears. In place of the open door, the next one appears. The soldier opens it too. Bright spots appear again on the walls of the cave.

Everybody's Free! Everyone fly!
I will bless you all!

The soldier throws gold after the spirits and dreams.

Everyone out there, come out!
I give you the will!

Spirits disappear. The soldier approaches the dogs.

Aren't dogs so sick of it
Guard money?
And without them in the world it is possible,
You dogs live!

The dogs are silent. The soldier takes the satchel and ties it to the end of the rope.

Well, of course, it's up to you!
No offence, -
Upstairs there are more beautiful dogs
And kinder looking.

The soldier climbs the rope. It's getting quite dark. There is a change of scenery of the first and second plan.

At-two higher! More higher!
The one who should be hanged
The neck will not turn!
At least a hundred times you fall from the roof
And drown in the river two hundred times -
Someone save!
Too early for me to die
I have in this world
Do not count the cases!
If there is grief for a soldier,
That's right, happiness is somewhere
For a soldier there is!
That's the way this world works
What gives all people a chance
Happiness in turn.
Be sure! Stay calm!
Evil will always get its
And good - take it!

It becomes light. Now in the foreground on the left is the royal palace, on the right is the inn, in the background is the city.

A Soldier's head appears in the middle of the scene, and then he himself is selected. The soldier looks around.

That's the witch's whims,
Like, climbed into the hollow,
Well, get out of where ...
Eka skidded!

The soldier pulls out his satchel by the rope. The owner of the hotel looks out of the window of the inn.

People! Where did I find myself?
What is this country?

Hotel owner

Morning, and already drunk,
Like Satan!
Get out of here, rogue!
Dodger! Weasel! Thief!

The owner of the hotel runs out into the square with a stick.

Come on, look in my satchel!

Hotel owner

Guilty, sir!

The innkeeper falls on his knees before the Soldier.

Hotel owner

I recognized it as a sinful deed,
For me to fall!
Here one soldier tried
Steal my ax!

Soldier (laughing)

What is similar to me?

Hotel owner

God forbid!
You are the spitting image of a nobleman,
Even if it's all dirty!

Well, get up, my friend, rather,
I'm not angry.

The Soldier helps the Innkeeper to get up.

Hotel owner

Never met gentlemen kinder!
I'll be nice to you -
I have the best in the capital
Inn.

And feed, so you get
This louis!

The innkeeper grabs the coin and pulls the soldier into the house with him.

Hotel owner

I'll be glad to see you, your grace,
Please in everything!

This is for your poverty
This is for hire!

The Soldier gives the Innkeeper two more coins and enters the inn. The innkeeper bows many times. The soldier appears in the first floor window.

Hotel owner

Would you like to taste
Coffee-glazed?
Or duck pate?

Bring it all!
Yes, send me a tailor -
I'll order an outfit.
I need a smart servant...

Innkeeper (bowing)

I am glad to serve you!

The soldier leaves the hotel and gives the Boss a heavy purse.

Soldier (with a sigh)

Well, serve, and I'm mine
Served with a vengeance!
Until now, close your eyes
All bluzhitsya fight.

The innkeeper runs to the palace and hides in it. The soldier goes back to the hotel and appears in the window. The innkeeper returns with many fancy boxes and enters the house. The soldier disappears through the window.

Out of sight the uniform in patches,
Saber, boots!
The cursed bow is not given,
Come on, help!

The soldier comes out of the inn already in a new rich dress, with a magnificent bow around his neck. The innkeeper follows him with bows.

Hotel owner

How amorous! How luxurious!
Don't take your eyes off!
Yes, in this outfit you can
At least go to the ball!
Dinner at the Countess's
In honor of her own dog
Grand Reception at the Duchess's
Tomorrow at three o'clock
On Wednesday, a ball at the Baroness
In the rose garden
And on Thursday - at the viscountess
In the castle on the pond
Premiere again on Friday
Opera "Sin"
And dinner at the chamberlain ...

That's good!

The Soldier and the Innkeeper walk slowly towards the King's castle and stop in front of it, looking at the facade.

Hotel owner

And on Saturday the ball "Sunday" ...

Completely, I understood.
And when, tell me, my dear,
Ball with the king?

Hotel owner

I'm sorry your grace
For seventeen years
So that bad things don't happen
There are no balls in the castle.
once prophesied
Witch to the king
What will he pass off as a soldier
My daughter.
They say she's in that tower
Sitting under lock and key.

Both look up at the highest window.

Poor thing, it's scary to think
How sad she is.

The maid of honor looks out of this window.

Maid of honor

What are you staring at, boobies?
Go away! Away!

Wow princess!
Looks like a witch's daughter!

The Soldier and the Innkeeper move away from the castle.

Hotel owner

This is the eldest of the maids of honor,
In anger - real hell!
Knows all the soldiers, I'm sure
Over here.
So that!

Soldier (dreamy)

That would be for a princess
At least take a look!

Hotel owner

They watch so much that even the devil
Do not slip through the gap.

What can't be done?
I would give a lot!

The soldier rings his purse.

Hotel owner (frightened)

It could cost your life!

Well, then to the ball!

The Soldier and the Innkeeper hide in the house. The King appears in the window of the castle.

What happened? What's happened?
What else has gone wrong?

Maid of honor

Two passed by.
Looks like it worked out!

The king and the maid of honor hide in the window at the same time. It's getting dark, lights are on in the windows. Dreams and Spirits fly around the city.

Dreams (sing)

In the silent heavens wonderful
The pale light of the moon.
Night falls, and people
Dreams are coming.
In the windows of castles, in the windows of towers,
In every poor house.
The coward is dreaming of himself brave,
A beggar is a rich man.

A soldier looks out of the window on the first floor of the hotel.

Soldier (singing)

I dream that I am a princess
Head over heels in love...

The soldier disappears. The princess looks out from the upper window of the royal castle.

princess (singing)

I dream, I'm walking through the forest,
And towards - He.

The princess moves away from the window. From the window of the inn on the second floor, the owner of the hotel looks out.

Innkeeper (singing)

I dream that I am a nobleman
Title received.

The owner of the hotel is hiding. The maid of honor looks out of the window of the royal castle.

Maid of honor (sings)

I dream that the order of the ladies
The king gave me.

The maid of honor hides. The King looks out of the window of the royal castle.

King (singing)

I dream about what kind of soldier
I'm giving away my daughter...
(screams in horror)
BUT! Nightmare! Get off you damned one!

The princess looks out her window.

Princess (capriciously)

Dad, I'm sleeping!

The King and Princess disappear.

Spirits (sing)

People watch dreams, and spirits
Help them.
They will wash the boilers for the cooks,
Everything will be hidden by a tailor,
The fishermen's nets will be mended,
Boots - a messenger
And put good children
Lollipop in your mouth!
Will them in their beds
Sweet sweet sleep
And the moon furtively in their forehead -
Gently kiss...

Multi-colored highlights disappear, it becomes light. The owner of the hotel runs out of the inn with a cauldron in his hands.

Hotel owner

Robbed! Ruined!
Ate all the broth
And washed the boiler.
On a crook crook!
Hey you, your honor,
Maybe stop sleeping?
You promised me today
Give it up for a stay!
Didn't pay for a month, a week
Didn't give tea.

A Soldier appears in the window.

Soldier (yawning)

Go away, really
Here you go, get it!

The soldier comes to the threshold and gives him a handful of coppers.

Hotel owner (with horror)

There are no others.
Just now there was a ball
And on it I am a baronet
Lost in cards.
I remember giving the marquise
A dozen tapestries.
Here, I bought a lorgnette for near,
I'm a cavalier.

The soldier shows the lorgnette to the owner of the hotel.

I gave it to the cardinal. It is impossible not to give to the Temple.
He gave to the poor - they too
We must help.
I care about the poor
After all, he himself was poor,
And you, I'll get rich,
I'll give you money too!
Now I'll say a word
And open the door.
There's a lot of good stuff in there.

The soldier throws the last pennies on the ground. The innkeeper starts picking them up.

Let the people take it!

The soldier runs to the hotel and returns with a large coil of rope, stands in the middle of the stage and starts waving his arms.

Soldier (imitating the Witch)

Izver tahtan!
Damn land surveyor!
Toddler caftan!
And the devil's skewer!

Nothing happens, the Innkeeper looks at the Soldier like he's crazy.

Soldier (puzzled)

Here's a shame! Apparently something
I said not.
Eh, infantry, you are infantry,
Memory is a sieve!

Hotel owner

Ege-ge! Looks like small
Moved my mind.

How did she say...

Hotel owner

Come on into the house.
Today the former chambers
Friend, not about you.
But some housing
I will provide.
There is a little room under the roof
Just an attic.
If you want, pay half a day,
Well, if you want it.
And you will return the debts with work,
You will serve me.

Soldier (with a sigh)

Eh, not long without a care
I had to live.

The Soldier and the Innkeeper enter the house, after a while the Soldier in his former attire comes out with a broom and begins to sweep the area in front of the inn.

Oh, my fate is a villain!
And it's always like that with her
Earn a penny
Drop a quarter!

It's getting dark. Lights are on in the windows. Only the window on the second floor of the hotel remains dark. The soldier returns to the house, and after a while appears in his dark window.

Today at the Marquis
masquerade ball,
There will be dances and surprises...
I'm sorry I didn't call.
And the cornet swore to come in,
So I didn't go.
I was left all alone
Deprived of all hope.
Sitting in the dark is sad.
Heck! I almost forgot!
I have a flint
There was a cinder in it.
They warm a man's soul
Sun and fire.
Where is lighter - more fun,
If not naked!

The soldier knocks the flint on the flint three times, the light in his window lights up. All three dogs appear in front of the hotel. The soldier looks at them.

Well, where are you from?
What, the treasure was stolen?
I won't help looking.
I'd be happy to find it myself.

First dog

Say what you want
We will complete everything on time!

Life - that you will soon bark yourself -
Money would be a bit.

The dogs disappear and immediately reappear with purses one larger than the other. The soldier comes out of the tavern and takes the purses.

Here's luck! Well, thank you!

The dogs are disappearing.

Hey, where are you?
Come on, damn flint
Send everyone here!

The soldier knocks the steel on the flint three times, three dogs appear again.

First dog

Happy to serve!

You two
You can go.

The second and third dogs disappear.

First dog

Ali is there any business?

Can you bring
me a princess? Only quietly
So that no one knows.

The first dog nods, runs towards the royal castle and immediately returns with the Princess wrapped in a blanket.

First dog

To wake?

How about a coward?
I wouldn't be scared!

The soldier carefully peers into the bundle.

Ah, what a beauty!
I won't hold back!

The Soldier kisses the Princess. The princess wakes up.

Princess (scared)

Who are you? I do not know you.

Soldier (kindly)

I tell you!

The princess falls asleep again.

Soldier (in a whisper)

Take her back.

The dog carries the Princess back to the castle.

Soldier (with a sigh)

What is there to say
After all, the princess behind the soldier
Don't be married!

The soldier goes into the house. It becomes light. The owner of the hotel looks out from the window of the first floor.

Hotel owner

Wake up! Get up you bastard!
The hour dawned
Are you still out of bed
Didn't raise the muzzle!

A Soldier appears in the window of the second floor.

Soldier (yawning)

I still want to sleep
Full throat tear.

Hotel owner

I owe a lot, infantry,
Time to give!

The soldier leaves the house with a knapsack in his rich outfit. The innkeeper jumps out after him and grabs his clothes.

Hotel owner

Thinking of running away?
Hey policeman
The place is crying for him
In the hole of debt!

The soldier hands the purse to the Innkeeper.

I remember all my debts
I pay bills!
Everything! Goodbye! I'm better than rooms
I want to search!

The innkeeper looks into the purse and rushes after the Soldier.

Hotel owner

Your Highness! Your Grace!
Oh senor! My lord!
Everything is confused in my head,
The devil sat on the tongue!

The Innkeeper runs ahead and kneels in front of the Soldier.

Hotel owner

Don't ruin! Have mercy!
I will redeem myself!
If you want a room
Give me one more!
The whole hotel can you
Lease!
I am at your service again!

Here we go!
What is redundant is forgotten!
Your turn for everything!
Boil water trough -
I'll take a bath!

The Soldier and the Innkeeper hide in the house. The King, the Princess and the maid of honor appear in the windows of the castle.

Princess (dreamy)

Ah, papa, to me this night
Had a wonderful dream.
Everything was in it, as if firsthand:
Me, and next to him.
Beast me to Him huge
I brought it on my back
Maybe it was a black cat
Well, maybe a dog.
And the soldier, his master,
Oh, such a cheeky one! -
bent over the mouth
And kissed...

What? Who let him?
What was he doing there?

Maid of honor

Kissed on the mouth! Captive!

Princess (offended)

It's just a dream!

The princess disappears through the window.

A dream is not a dream, but we actually
Trouble would not be made.
Here's what: get up by the bed,
You will watch!

The maid of honor nods. Both hide in the windows. It's getting dark. Lights come on in the windows. A soldier looks out of the window on the first floor of the hotel. The owner of the hotel looks out from the second floor.

Innkeeper (yawning)

Can not sleep?

Soldier (with a sigh)

No, not sleeping.
It hurts the night is bright ...

Hotel owner

The whole capital is having fun
Today at the ambassador.
There will be dances, fireworks,
In vases ice cream,
Two Indian bayadères
And French cheese.
Here's where to have some fun...

Yes, there is no hunting.

Hotel owner

Wouldn't you like to fall in love?

The soldier sighs.

Hotel owner

Hotel owner (with interest)

To the baroness? To the viscountess?

Full of guessing!

The innkeeper disappears through the window. The soldier leaves the house.

I wish I had my princess
See again.
I'll call the dog.

The soldier strikes the steel on the flint once. The first dog appears in front of the hotel.

First dog

Here I am, sir!

The soldier points to the royal castle.

Bring her!

The dog runs to the castle and immediately runs out of it with the Princess wrapped in a blanket. The maid of honor appears from behind the castle. From the window of the second floor of the inn, the owner of the hotel cautiously looks out.

Hotel owner

The innkeeper disappears through the window. The Soldier takes the bundle with the Princess and takes it to the hotel. The dog disappears. After a while, cheerful laughter begins to be heard from the Soldier's room. The maid of honor sneaks to the hotel.

Maid of honor (indignantly)

Well, dude, wait!
Not enough for such a thing.
Die three times!
Our little one didn't fit
Watch these dreams!
And the dog, the dog
Devil incarnate!
I'd better mark the house with a sign,
To find later.

The maid of honor, looking around, puts a cross on the wall of the hotel and runs away to the royal castle. Dreams and Spirits fly around the city.

Dreams (sing)

The leaves are sleeping on the trees
Water sleeps in the river
Letters sleep in sleeping lines,
A star sleeps in the sky.
Hopes come true in dreams
Dreams are fading.
Dreaming of autumn spring day,
In winter, flowers.

From the window of the inn on the second floor, the owner of the hotel looks out.

Innkeeper (singing)

I dream that I am a guest
I became rich...

The owner of the hotel disappears, the maid of honor looks out of the window of the castle.

Maid of honor (sings)

I'm seventeen again in a dream
And today the ball ...

The maid of honor disappears, the King appears in the next window.

King (singing)

I dream that I predicted
Witch happiness to me
And told the soldier
Die in the war.

The king disappears through the window.

Dreams (sing)

The moon sleeps, and only for lovers
No dreams -
To them, inspired by each other,
Dreams are not needed.

Dreams and Spirits disappear. A Soldier with a blanket and a Princess come out of the hotel.

A princess

Ah, I didn't have so much fun
Never before.
I must have fallen in love!
I fell in love, right?

I'm sorry, but we have to leave.

A princess

The night is so short!
Sleeping and not waking up...

The Soldier strikes a flint and the First Dog appears and wraps the Princess in a blanket.

Well, goodbye!

A princess

The Soldier kisses the Princess, The first dog carries her to the castle. The soldier returns to the house, the light in his window goes out. It becomes completely dark, and again Dreams and Spirits fly around the city. There is a change of scenery for the first plan.

Spirits (sing)

The good spirits are back
In the sleeping world of people
To soar through the dark streets
quiet squares,
Wipe glass from dust
pavement wash,
To polish the spiers to a shine,
Repair lanterns.
Lubricate the hinges on the walls
Let's update the painting
And on old tapestries
Bring the colors to life...

It becomes light. The hotel turns out to be decorated with hearts and angels.

The owner of the hotel runs out of it with a stick.

Innkeeper (shouting)

Ah, wicked boys!
I'll cut my ears!

A Soldier peeps out of a window on the first floor and looks approvingly at the wall.

And it's beautiful!

Hotel owner

Even too much!
I live here!
All me with such a facade
Laugh to death!

The Soldier leaves the hotel and gives the Boss a thick purse.

Nothing needs to be changed
I am the owner here!

The innkeeper clutches the purse to his chest, both return to the house. The Princess and the King look out of the windows of the castle.

Princess (dreamy)

Ah, papa, me this night
He dreamed again...

King (suspicious)

What is a soldier again? Well daughter...

The maid of honor looks out of the window.

Maid of honor

It wasn't a dream!
I went! I followed!
Suddenly a dog came running -
Bulldog crocodile mix
And took her away.
I suffered some kind of fear -
I'm still trembling!

I will give you a medal for your courage!
I will reward you with a ribbon!
Tell me what happened next!

A princess

But papa...

Be silent!
If you forgot your honor
You will answer!

A princess

Am I to blame
What do I love him?

Now your soldier
I order to execute!

The princess disappears through the window. The king with a rope and the maid of honor leave the castle and head towards the inn.

King (singing)

While living in the neighborhood
People and gentlemen
Won't be in the kingdom
About never.
My castle is magnificent
Among their dirty shacks,
They smoke, we breathe,
And I don't want to!
They have porridge for breakfast
And porridge for lunch
And I have a lamb
Yes, no appetite!
They sing and dance
And I grumble all day
And no one will tell me
What do I want!

The king and the maid of honor stop in front of the hotel.

King (terribly)

What else is this?

Maid of honor (scared)

I don't want to know!

Tomorrow I'll double the tax
For housing ... once every five!
This house?

The maid of honor comes closer and inspects the facade, but does not find the cross.

Maid of honor (trembling with fear)

No, your grace
Looks like he's not.
Apparently I've lost my way
Or is it really a dream...

Well, look, if this night
You won't be afraid
I will send my daughter to the monastery,
And you - under the knife!

The king and the dejected maid of honor go back to the palace. The owner of the hotel looks out of the attic window.

Hotel owner

Almost lost my mind
Lord save!
The king himself has come!

A Soldier appears in the hotel window.

Hey! Bring lunch!

Hotel owner

I can smell death a mile away!
It's time for you to run!

I do what I want!
Punch in my rooms!

The soldier is hiding in the window.

Hotel owner

Here passion leaped up in the damned -
Power is not terrible!
As if with a soldier
Don't fall together.

The innkeeper hides in the house. It's getting dark. Lights come on in the windows. A soldier with a flint and flint goes out into the street.

The owner speaks...
(with a sigh)
No, I won't!

The Boss is looking out of the hotel window again.

Hotel owner

What are you tired of living?

I love her!

The owner of the hotel takes his head with his hands and hides in the window. The soldier strikes the steel on the flint once. The first dog appears in front of the hotel.

First dog

Bring?

Bring it soon!
Don't let me down -
No old woman, no lackey
Do not follow.

The dog runs to the castle and immediately runs out of it along with the Princess, dressed in a dress. The Soldier hugs the Princess. The dog disappears.

A princess

Dear friend, I am tonight
Didn't close my eyes!
Father wants to separate us
And for the last time
I came to say goodbye to you!
There is time - run!

Let's have fun!

A princess

But there are enemies all around!

The soldier draws his saber and threatens invisible opponents with it.

Let the bad guys come out!
I will fight them!
'Cause I don't know mercy
When I get angry!

The soldier lowers his saber.

You see, there is no one here -
The streets are empty.
Let's be together until dawn
Just me and you!

The Soldier and the Princess enter the house. The maid of honor looks out of the window of the castle.

maid of honor (in a whisper)

Wake up, your grace!
That sassy soldier...

A sleepy king appears in the next window.

King (yawning)

What's happened! What's happened!

Maid of honor

He stole her!

Well, where did you look?
Where were you?

Maid of honor

Sitting in a chair by the door
She slept like a dead sleep.

King (angry)

How dare you? How could you?
Guard! Guard!

Nobody shows up.

Maid of honor

I'm not to blame for anything!
The whole palace fell asleep!
And when I wake up, I see
Our little one is not.
The shameless soldier dragged away!

Like in a nightmare!
Everything is dead! Everything is lost!
I am a soldier's father-in-law!
All as the witch foretold
The way it is!
Under the protection of an evil spirit
And the mosquito is a sandpiper!
Where to look for her, old woman?
The city is big!

Maid of honor

Believe me, fugitives
We'll find a trail.
I poured a handful of semolina
In your torn pouch
And pinned the princess
Back to hem.

Well, you are a rogue, the right word!
The head is a cauldron!

Maid of honor

We need to hurry up
There is no time to wait here.
Otherwise, the birds will wake up
And the groats are pecked.

The maid of honor with a lantern and the King with a rope come out of the castle.

King (singing)

Enemies of my crown
In the country do not count
But they have laws
And there are gallows!

I cry properly guard
Judge and executioner
And for the ropes even
I cry for the gallows!

But I don't understand something
I don't understand something:
Why do they work
Should I do it myself?

The maid of honor and the King approach the hotel.

Hell!

maid of honor (triumphantly)

I knew it!
The trail leads here!

It was the case, we are impudent
Take the cities!

The king bursts into the house with a loud cry. The maid of honor follows him. From the window on the second floor, the owner of the hotel looks out.

Be silent!
And for kissing
You will answer!

The King comes out of the hotel, pulling a Soldier tied with a rope. The weeping Princess follows him, the maid of honor with a lantern closes the procession. The owner of the hotel looks after them from the window.

King (singing)

Fate itself dare not
Confront the king!
Prepare, soldier, neck,
And I will find a loop!

Only defending with dignity
desecrated honor,
I am finally calm
I can sleep and eat!

All four hide in the palace.

Hotel owner

Did business, serviceman,
Went to jail!
That's how the service is a lousy dog
Served him!

The innkeeper disappears through the window. It becomes light. A Soldier's head appears in the barred window of the prison. The Executioner comes out of the palace with a gallows and begins to set it up in the square.

And luck is jealous -
Once! - and the trail is gone!
Sorry, magic fire
I forgot at home!

The executioner goes to the palace. Drum roll is heard. The princess and the maid of honor look out of the windows of the palace. The Executioner comes out of the castle doors, dragging the Soldier, whose hands are tied, and drags him behind him to the scaffold. They are followed by the King with a decree. The drum roll is silent.

King (reading)

Before you is the enemy of the crown,
Adversary, villain!
At night, he, defying the laws,
Kidnapped people!
Me and the lady of the court
Caught like a thief!
I bring him the most
Death sentence!

A princess (falling into a swoon)

Oh! Papa! I'm dying!

The princess disappears through the window.

Maid of honor

Glory to the king!

King (bloodthirsty)

Away, executioner! I myself wish
Tighten the loop!

The executioner with a bow departs and hides behind the scaffold. The King tries in vain to put the noose around the Soldier's neck.

Soldier (laughing)

me your mercy,
Nowhere to hurry.
One more moment, no matter what happens
It's good to live.
Here is the last pipe
smoke a sip,
And then at least in a meat grinder,
Though we live in the sand.

Its Owner comes out of the hotel and runs up to the scaffold, carrying a pipe and a steel.

Hotel owner

In this request, you are not in the right,
Sir, refuse!
Order to greater glory
Untie your hands!

King (graciously)

Okay, since people want
So be it!

The King removes the rope from the Soldier's hands. The owner of the Inn hands him a pipe and a steel. The soldier strikes a flint and flint for the first time. The First Dog appears.

First Dog

The soldier strikes the flint a second time. The Second Dog appears.

Second Dog

The soldier strikes the steel for the third time. The Third Dog appears.

Third Dog

The king backs away in horror.

Went away! Evil!
I order everyone to be executed!

Come on, dogs, save
Friend from the noose!
Grab and drop everyone
Not to be found!

The first Dog lunges at the King and throws him high into the air.

Ay! Save!

The First Dog pulls the Executioner from behind the scaffold and throws him after the king.

Help!

Then the First Dog drags the maid of honor out of the palace and deals with her.

Maid of honor

Send for a doctor!

The first dog attacks the Innkeeper.

Hotel owner

Not! Wait! Wait!
It's not my fault!

The dog releases the Hotel Owner. He falls on his knees before the Soldier.

Hotel Owner

Have mercy on us, soldier!
Be our king!
We are yours as long as we are alive
But we're about to die!

If luck passes by
Then grab it, don't be afraid!
But first on the beloved
I'm marrying mine!

The Princess runs out of the castle and throws herself on the Soldier's neck.

We will be the whole capital for a month
Feast in the castle!
Yes, and then have fun -
Live and live!

The song "Metelitsa. Children sit down. 2 readers remain.
Reb 1: We dressed up the Christmas tree beautifully,
How many toys are on it.
But where is the New Year's miracle.
Why are there no lights on the Christmas tree?
Reb 2: Who will help us in trouble,
Who will light the Christmas tree for us?
We cannot live without fairy tales.
All: Let the fairy tale for the holiday come to us soon.
(A bell is heard outside the door.)
Vedas: Guys, you hear someone is coming to our holiday.
Fairy enters.
Fairy: I am the Fairy of Fantasy, I am the Fairy of Visions,
I live in the land of marvelous dreams.
In the land of adventure and dreams
My palace is all made of roses.
I learned that you need help.
Tell me how can I help you?
Reb: Fairy, dear, hurry up
You help us
Light up the multi-colored lights on the Christmas tree.
Fairy: Of course, I will help you, where is my student, the little wizard?
Little Wizard: I'm here, dear Fairy.
Fairy: This is my most capable student. Well, let's see what you've learned. Light the lights on the Christmas tree for us.
Little wizard: I'm not a wizard yet, I'm just learning. But I really believe in miracles.
This Christmas tree is a wonder for everyone
Ignite the magic fire.
Among the needles and branches
I will find him soon. (Searching).
Here is the magic fire
I'll take it off soon
And the lanterns are beautiful
Shine for the kids.
And you guys say with me:
One, two, three, Christmas tree, burn!
All children: 1-2-3-herringbone. Burn!
(The tree lights up).
Fairy (clapping): Well done, little wizard, I give you 5 for magic.
Reb1: How beautiful it became in the hall
And look at the tree
Bright, shining bright
On the branches of her lights.
Reb 2: Let today, just like in a fairy tale
The round dance rushes in a dance
And over this round dance
Dances, songs, sonorous laughter,
Happy New Year,
All: With new happiness all at once.
Round dance:
Fairy: And now let's sit down, sit down, and look at the Christmas tree.
(Children sit down).
Fairy: New Year is unusual,
It is magical without a doubt.
And always carries with him
Fairy tale adventure.
Expect this evening
You guys are miracles
Hear, here come alive
Good fairy tale voices.
(Fairy-tale music sounds. The Witch appears.) Witch: Ah, there you are, my dears! Have fun? Are you celebrating the New Year? Smart, you know, satisfied. And well-fed, come on. Why are you silent? Fed up, I ask? Here, here, and I will swell from hunger (sobs).
Song of the Witch. (Oh, byada ... byada,
What nonsense is this.
People call witch
How embarrassing I always am.
2. Oh, byada ... byada How my years fly.
I would love Leshy
Only I have no time.. The witch pays attention to the Fairy: Oh-oh-oh! And who will it be? Princess go? princess? Oh, fathers ... Fairy! Well, of course, like her, everything is a Fairy, Fairy (mimicking). And how am I a Witch right away. Well, I'll show you - a Witch. Let him sleep. And he will wake up - when the fun has already passed for you. But now you will never see him again. Well, that's how it will be better, let him rest a little.
And here you have warm, light. And in my hut it is cold, dark, and the stove is not heated. But why? Yes, there is nothing to light it, the stove. The firewood is damp, the matches are over. So my heart is toiling, I'm starving. And on my menu today
(searches, gets, reads).
Witch Menu.
ABOUT! “Ivashka under yogurt”, and for dessert - “Green frog cheesecakes with fly agaric jam”.
Well, how do I melt the stove? Nothing. Do you happen to have matches? So, baby, don't you have a light? And you, madam? (sees flint). Oh what I see! That's luck! Yes, it's a magic fire. Yours? Where did they take it? (on the Christmas tree). Well, it was yours, it became ours. And in general, something you have here is too bright. And you need to save electricity. (Blows on the Christmas tree, extinguishes it) Like this. Farewell, dear ones (runs away).
Vedas: Wait, dear evil spirits! Oh, what a trouble! The witch enchanted the Fairy, extinguished the Christmas tree, stole the flint! So the holiday is cancelled?
Guys, we need to find a flint and light the Christmas tree again, otherwise Santa Claus will not find our way to the holiday.
The Soldier enters with a song.
Soldier (sings): At-two left. At - two right,
Along the road on a long journey.
Where I'm going I don't know, the road itself.
It will take me somewhere.
Soldier: Stay where you are. Ah - two. There are so many kids here, I have never seen anything like this in my life. Both girls and boys, where did I get to? And, I know, today the guys have a New Year's holiday (sees a Christmas tree). Well, what is this? Even the light bulbs are hanging, just a bit dark, they don’t shine, they don’t burn.
Vedas: You got to, soldier, you are in kindergarten for the New Year tree holiday, but the trouble is, our flint is visiting evil spirits today. And without flint, we, by no means, can light the Christmas tree and meet Santa Claus.
Soldier: It's grief, it doesn't matter! Hey, my friends, come here! (hussars run). Together we will go to the Witch and take the tinderbox. Detachment, line up! (Hussars are under construction).
Reb: We are hussars, well done,
Braves and daredevils.
When you need help.
We will always help
save you from evil
Of course we can.
Dance of the hussars.
Dance of the young ladies with the hussars. (They say goodbye to the young ladies).
Soldier: Squad! In search of the Witch, march behind me step by step, at - two! (go behind the tree).
Scene at the Witch in the forest,
(a tree with a hollow, a cauldron, devils are hiding behind it. The witch lights the cauldron with a flint and stirs with a ladle)
Dance of the Witch and the devil.
(Witch at the end, out of breath, sits down.)
Witch: Fufufu! Yes, what is it!
I want silence, peace.
Well, to hell with you, devils,
Shout out of here faster. (The devils run away).
I was completely taken over by this filth.
Where is my beloved cat? Kitty-kitty! (The cat runs out).
Kitten (reb): Mur-mur, I'm here, hostess,
Tell me why you called me.
I caught mice in the cellar,
And walked with cats on the roof,
I was completely exhausted.
Witch: Kitty, my kitty, fluffy tummy,
Curved back, soft fur.
You please the mistress, sing a song for the soul.
Kitten: Mrrr! Okay, I'll sleep.
Dance of a cat and kitties.
Witch: Oh, and you amused me with a cat-warm tummy. Here's a fish for you! Oh, but I completely forgot that a guest should come to me - a miracle of the forest - Leshenka! Marriage will come, you have to put yourself in order. (Pulls out a mirror and preens.) And here he is!
(Leshy enters).
Goblin: I was in a hurry to you, in a hurry,
Like a baron I dressed up
How good I am, you won't find better in the world!
Ears are big, eyes are small, legs are crooked!
Handsome! Well, how can you not be proud of yourself!
And where is my young and beautiful bride?
Witch: It's me, me! And young (almost) and nothing like herself!
Goblin: Of course... Maybe... Can't you find anything better?
(Notices Fairy)
Just right for me, princess!
(Begins to dance in front of the Fairy, falls on his knees, blows a kiss, puts his hands to his heart).
Witch: To whom, rotten stump, did you come to woo? Treason! Go away!
(kicks out Leshy).
Well, what a life! Yearning!
Witch: Well, cat, soft tummy, bring me a magical dish, and a pouring apple. I’ll roll an apple on a dish, I want to know all the news.
(rolls an apple).
Ouch! What do I see, the soldiers are prowling through the forest, are they looking for me? Exactly! The soldiers are coming here, now they will take the steel from me. (He rushes about with the steel, hides it in one place or another). I'll hide it right here, they'll never find it here. Here in the hollow sits an evil watchman, he is an old friend of mine. (Rubs his hands).
(Soldier walks.)
Soldier: Where are you? Well - ka, brothers, we knit the Witch. (Hussars help to tie the Witch). Thank you, friends, now I can handle it. Well, admit it, did you steal the tinderbox from the children?
Witch: What is a fire starter? Small, shiny? ... No, I didn’t take it! Well, I took it, I took it! That's why we are nasty, so that there is no joy.
Soldier: Did you leave the children's Christmas tree without lights?
Witch: What kind of Christmas tree? … New Year's?.. With toys? ... With balloons, crackers? ... No, it's not me. I have never seen such a tree.
Soldier: And we'll ask the guys now! (Children answer). See? Well, tell me, unclean power, where is the flint.
Witch: Okay, I'll tell you. You will let me go?
Climb the soldier into the hollow,
It's dry and warm
And cozy and beautiful
There you will find your flint.
For advice, mine is a reward
I don't need anything.
Not a penny, not a penny.
I'm a kind soul. (dances).
(Soldier approaches the hollow, the Witch waves to him, rubs her hands)
Witch: Climb, climb, dear, so that you are there ... (runs away).
(The soldier puts his hand into the hollow, and a cockerel flies out from there.)
Cockerel: I am a magic cockerel,
New Year's scallop.
fire head
Red beard.
In this hollow I live
And I guard Flint.
Ku-ka-re-ku, ko-ko-ko
New Year is near!
And who are you? What do you want?
Soldier: I'm a soldier Ivan, I came for a magic flint, give it here!
Rooster: Look how quick you are! I won’t let you in, soldier, don’t even ask
And you won't get Flint, take your feet!
Soldier: What are you, cockerel, we meet your fiery cock year,
We honor you, we honor you.
So you really respect us, and show us the flint.
Cockerel: Well, I’ll give it back if you guess my riddles.
Soldier: Guys, help me.
Puzzles.
Cockerel: Ko-ko-ko, you guessed it easily.
Now have some fun
I love music very much
Respect me from the bottom of my heart
And not how I will close!
Leading: Guys, let's help out the soldier, and show the Fire Rooster our fun dance!
General dance.
Rooster: So be it, take your Flint and Steel!
Congratulations from me to you
Happiness, laughter and fun!
May this coming year
It will only bring you joy!
(The Soldier takes the Flint, goes to the tree, the tree lights up, the Fairy wakes up.)
Leading: Look, witchcraft is over!
Fairy: Oh, how long I slept! I must have missed the whole party!
Soldier: The fun is yet to come! Well, it's time for me to go, goodbye, friends!
Host and Fairy: Thank you, soldier!
(Soldier leaves)
Fairy: Well, friends, let's continue the holiday! It's time to call Santa Claus!
Fairy: Santa Claus! Go, go! The Flint is shining on your way!
Enter D.M. and the Snow Maiden with a song.
Santa Claus: Hello, long-awaited holiday, in the brilliance of the stars!

Characters

Ole Lukoye is the narrator.

Fairy of Joy.

Fairy of sorrow.

Queen.

A princess.

Three dogs.

Suite of the king.

Sounds like an overture. From different sides, the Fairy of Joy and the Fairy of Sorrow appear on the stage.

Fairy of Joy. No one in the world knows as many stories as Ole Lukoye.

Fairy of sorrow. Here is the master of storytelling!

Fairy of Joy. He has an umbrella under his arms. One with pictures. He reveals it over good children, and then they dream of fairy tales all night long.

Fairy of sadness. Another umbrella is quite simple, smooth. He opens it over naughty children, and they sleep all night like the dead and do not see anything in a dream.

Fairy of Joy. In my opinion, only good children have gathered here ...

Fairy of sorrow. I do not think.

Fairy of Joy. Again you see only the bad in everything... You should ask Ole Lukoye to come here and tell one of his wonderful tales. Good-I will!

Fairy of sorrow. No, evil, evil!

Fairy of Joy. No, good!

Fairy of sorrow. No, evil!

Fairy of Joy. I'll turn you into a tulip now!

Fairy of sorrow. And I'll lizard you...

Fairy of Joy. And I...

Fairy of sorrow. And I...

Ole Lukoye. What's happened? What's that noise?

Fairy of Joy. And here is Ole Lukoye! The fairy of sadness wants you to tell only a sad tale.

Fairy of sadness. And the Fairy of Joy - only cheerful.

Ole-lukoye. Take it easy. I will tell the children a fairy tale, where there is joy ...

Fairy of Joy. Hooray!

Ole Lukoye. And sadness.

Fairy of sorrow. That's it for you!

Ole Lukoye. I will not only tell, but also show my fairy tale today. So, the tale is called "Flint".

There is a Soldier on the road, one-two, one-two! Knapsack on the back, saber on the side. Got it back and now...

The Soldier appears. Ole Lukoye and the fairies leave.

Scene one. Meeting of the Soldier with the Witch

Glade near an old tree.

Soldier. One-two, one-two! Won my own, and now I'm on my way home.

Song of the Soldier

We beat our enemies

Countless.

Now home - the order is

His Majesty's order.

I walked a lot of miles,

I'm walking with the sun.

I make a halt at night

And in the morning - on the road.

But there is no home - and this is the point,

No money - that's the thing!

His Majesty the King

He shook my hand as a reward.

The king said to me: “Nothing!

Don't be discouraged, little brother!"

I know it without him -

Came with my mind.

During the performance of the song, the Witch imperceptibly appears and examines the Soldier, then approaches him.

Witch. Good evening, officer. Look, what a glorious saber you have! And what a big bag! And eat something good! Well, young soldier! And now you will have as much money as you want!

Soldier. Oh, thanks!

Witch. See the old tree? It is completely empty inside. Climb into the hollow, get down to the very bottom. I will tie you with a rope, and when you shout, I will pull you back.

Soldier. Why would I go there?

Witch. For money.

The Witch's Tale

(sung to music)

Climb, Soldier, into the hollow:

It's dry and warm there.

You don't have a copper

And there are three chests in the hollow.

Listen to me soldier

If you want to be rich.

There on the roof of the chest

The dog sits without a leash:

Eyes the size of saucers

Never close.

Don't give him a handout

Put the dog on your apron.

Listen to me soldier

If you want to be rich.

Coppers in that chest

You don't want little things -

So go for the silver.

There is a dog above good,

Her eyes are wheels

They look askance at the aliens.

Plant on my apron,

Open the chest with money.

Listen to me soldier

If you want to be rich.

Well, in the third closet

The watchman is too sharp-sighted.

Zolotishko guards

And rub your eyes with your paw.

Scared scarecrows -

You will immediately lose power.

And you put a stake on a rag,

Grab a bunch of gold.

Listen to me soldier

If you want to be rich.

For my advice as a reward

And I don't need copper

Not a penny, not a penny, -

I'm a kind soul.

Just find me, servant,

In the corner is my flint.

Listen to me soldier

If you want to be rich.

Soldier. Okay, tie a rope around me.

Witch(tying the Soldier with a rope). And here is my blue checkered apron. Take him. Farewell and remember everything I told you.

The soldier climbs into the hollow, the Witch holds the rope.

Ole Lukoye. The Soldier climbed into the hollow, he sees: three dogs are sitting.

Scene two. in the hollow

The exit of the Soldier to the music is the leitmotif of the flint and flint.

Soldier. Well well! Good beauties. What are you staring at? Look, open your eyes!

The dogs are moving towards the soldier. The dog song is playing.

Couplets of three dogs "Woof, woof"

1st dog.

I am a glorious watchdog -

To me, Soldier, not a step,

And you won't leave alive

I will eat you with a sword!

I keep good from stupid people.

All the stupid ones are my menu. Woof woof.

2nd dog.

I'm sitting here on silver

And I show zeal.

I will serve you, servant ...

And eat it in an instant!

From the greedy I keep good.

All greedy is my menu. Woof woof.

3rd dog.

Passed, soldier, you are two posts,

But you won't pass the third one.

You will come even from the muzzle, even from the tail -

The same finish.

I keep good from cowards.

Cowards are my menu. Woof woof.

The soldier spreads an apron in front of the dogs. The dogs sit on the apron and open chests with coins.

Soldier. God! How much gold! Buy the whole city! Here is the money! Yes, but where is the flint?

The leitmotif of flint and flint sounds.

Soldier. And here it is. (Takes a flint and a chest of gold.) Well, Witch, drag me back.

Soldier. I took it, I took it.

The dogs run away. The Witch pulls the Soldier from behind the scenes by a rope to the middle of the stage.

Scene three. Meeting of the Soldier with the Witch (continued)

Glade near an old tree.

Soldier. Wow, finally! (Takes off the rope.)

Witch. Flint, fire, come on!

Soldier. What do you need fire?

Witch. I will not say. Got yours - give me mine!

Soldier. No matter how! If you don’t say why you need it, I won’t give it back.

Witch. Give, give!

Soldier. Will not give it back!

During the argument, the Soldier ties the Witch with a rope. Soldier. Go ahead and try it! (Runs away.)

Witch(jumps after him). Ooh, deceived, damn. But we'll meet again. Death awaits you!

Ole Lukoye. The Soldier got rich. He now lived much more cheerfully: he went to theaters, went for walks in the royal garden and distributed a lot of money to the poor, and he did well - after all, he himself knew what it was like to sit without a penny in his pocket!

Scene four. Tavern

Dancing, enters the tavern Soldier. Behind him are several couples.

Soldier.

Hey, come on, honest people.

I am happy to serve everyone.

Let everyone eat and drink to their heart's content.

Everything. You are gold, Soldier!

Soldier.

I learned the price of hunger

I wandered without a penny.

Innkeeper, everyone a glass!

Everything. Rich soul!

Soldier. Innkeeper, everyone a glass!

Everything. Rich soul!

1st visitor. Hey, Soldier, you won't be able to see and buy the most important thing with your own money!

Soldier. Why can't I?

2nd visitor. To see the Princess, our King's daughter. She is such a beauty!

Soldier. How would you like to see her?

3rd visitor. You can't see her at all. She lives in a big castle, and there are so many walls and towers around! No one but the King himself dares to visit her. Because there was a fortune-telling that his daughter would marry a simple soldier, and this is not to the King's taste.

Soldier(sings). I raise a toast to friendship! Hooray friends!

Vivat! How sociable and simple he is!

You are gold, Soldier! (2 times.)

Girls.

We want to dance until the morning

Our dear Soldier.

Soldier.

I treat, I cry! ..

No money, guilty...

Friends, who will lend me coins?

I will not forget the age!

There is no point in making friends with him.

He is an empty man! (2 times.)

Everyone leaves the Soldier. He, distressed, follows Ole Lukoye. Meanwhile, the Princess is locked up in the castle.

Scene five. In the castle

A princess. How unhappy I am! I only see my beloved soldier in my dreams.

Princess Romance

Bored in the castle high

Everyone stay locked up

Only on the stars from the windows

Watch in the evening.

Is it in trouble

Are all princesses seated?

It would rather, or something,

Married a soldier.

It would rather, or something,

Married a soldier.

Oh, what a soldier my mind!

He is tall and he has a mustache!

He won't let me hurt.

Kiss me soldier.

No, it's time for the wounds

Stop pouring salt.

After all, doubled the protection

The tower has a king.

And there are three of them in the bedroom,

And on the stairs a platoon.

I will open the window

What if you get lucky?

I will open the window

What if you get lucky?

Enter King and Queen.

King. My daughter!

Queen. Princess, my daughter!

The princess is crying.

Queen. Oh, how she suffers!

King. Look, noble guests have come to us: the Dutch prince, the French baron and the Russian prince. They woo you, you can choose anyone.

The suitors enter, alternately perform an improvisation dance to the music, it turns out very funny.

A princess. I don't want anyone, I love my soldier!

King. Ah well? Triple your guard!

Queen. Oh!

The Queen is ill, the King takes her away. The princess also leaves.

Ole Lukoye. The soldier, having spent all his money, lived in a tiny closet, and none of his former friends visited him.

Scene six. Soldier's closet

Soldier. So I didn't have any money. I spent every penny, but I had fun myself, and I didn’t forget people. Oh, how much I want to see the Princess ... (Pulls out a tinderbox, strikes three times - three dogs appear.)

The leitmotif of flint and flint sounds.

Soldier. And the flint, you see, is magical. Now I will ask you to deliver the Princess to me. (To dogs.) I want to see the Princess!

The dogs bring in the sleeping Princess.

A princess(wakes up). Oh where am I?

Soldier. You are my guest.

A princess. Soldier? How nice it is here, and the window is open, and the stars are shining.

Soldier. How beautiful she is! I seem to love her! A princess. I would love to take a walk.

Soldier. We're going now!

Duet Princess and Soldier

A princess.

I haven't woken up yet, it's like I'm in a dream!

Has happiness returned to me?

Together. Finally we are together!

Soldier. A princess!

A princess. Soldier! You are the groom, I am the bride. I am so glad!

Soldier. How glad I am!

While singing, the Witch creeps up. She sees the Princess with the Soldier and calls the King and the Queen.

King. So there you are!

Queen. Come home, my daughter!

King. Immediately arrest the Soldier and execute him at dawn!

Guards appear and take the Soldier away.

Witch(joyfully). I spoke, I spoke. Death awaits you! Haha!

A princess(cries). I don't want, I don't want execution!

Everyone leaves.

Ole Lukoye. The next morning, the people learned that the Soldier would be executed, and hurried to the place of execution.

Scene seven. Area

The Executioner, the Soldier, the guards take the stage in turn; King with Queen, the people accompany them.

Couplets of the Executioner

Executioner.

Even though today is Sunday

I carry an ax on my shoulder.

I will bring it to fruition

Royal verdict.

People.

We dressed up for the holidays

But we don't have a day off.

Executioner and guard.

We serve executions

By paying double.

Everything. Eh!

Executioner.

I'm not very keen

Cut people's heads off.

But work is work

I can't live without work.

People.

We dressed up for the holidays

But we don't have a day off.

Executioner and guard.

We serve executions

By paying double.

Executioner.

I see: they feed to the Executioner

Unhealthy interest

And they don’t blame the young man at all,

That stole princesses.

People.

We dressed up for the holidays

But we don't have a day off.

Executioner and guard.

We serve executions

By paying double.

Everything. Eh!

Hiding, the Witch appears and stands near the King.

Soldier(to the King). Your Majesty, let me smoke a pipe before I die. After all, this is my last request.

Witch. Don't let him, don't let him use the steel.

Queen. Smoking is bad, young man.

King. Why, let him smoke. Yes, live!

Witch. Then blame yourself. (To a soldier.) Damn it!

The leitmotif of flint and flint sounds. The soldier strikes: one, two, three. Three dogs appear, they run up to the Soldier.

Soldier. Come on, help. I don't want to be executed. The dogs attack the King and the Queen.

King and retinue (sing).

King.

Forgive us, forgive us

Lord of the monsters!

No, I will not execute you

Take the entire treasury.

Retinue and people.

Ah, what dogs -

They are unbearable!

King.

Soldier, have mercy!

Do you want to be a marshal?

I will give an army - and on the road,

Dogs will help you.

Retinue and people.

Ah, what dogs -

They are unbearable!

The dogs grab the King and the Queen and run away with them.

Music sounds, the Princess appears. The soldier comes up to her, offers his hand and leads her away. The people welcome them. Ole Lukoye and the fairies appear on the scene.

The final

Ole Lukoye and the fairies.

Well, the fairy tale is over.

And it ended wonderfully.

And like evil is punished

Unfortunately, not everywhere.

And we want you to live

Joyfully, happily.

And let you help out in trouble

Great flame!

And let you help out in trouble

In the foreground, left and right, are large, thick, gnarled trees of an ominous appearance. Fields in the background. A Soldier comes out from behind a tree on the left and steps towards the tree on the right.

Soldier (singing)

At-two left! At-two right!
There was a soldier from the service, loudly
He sang the song.
All beat up! All holey!
No hut, no woman -
Didn't fight.
At-two left! At-two right!
Hungry men are carried in satchels
Trouble behind.
A brave guy went to war,
And he returned from the war, brothers,
Without one leg.
At-two right! At-two right!
War is fun for the king
General - honor
And the soldier - only glory,
But with what this glory
Do we soldiers eat?

From behind a tree on the right, an old Witch comes out towards the Soldier.

Witch (smartly)

Eat well, servant,
Yes, and he's good!
Your backpack is beautiful.
It's a pity you're carrying an empty one.

Soldier (derisively)

And what's the matter with you
Old hag?
Maybe she wanted a saber
Ali boot?

Witch

Yours are good, my dear,
Saber and boots
But I'd buy better
If you could help me.

Soldier

I would only agree
Not for a penny.
Will you give a lot of money?

Witch

And so many
How much will you take!
Come closer, darling, closer.
(lowering voice)
You go down in the hollow...

The witch points to a tree behind her. The soldier stretches his neck in the indicated direction.

Soldier

I don't see something hollow.

Witch

The time has not come.
In that hollow, at the bottom of the well,
There is an underground passage.
The lamps shine there like the sun,
And the doors are countless.
You will open the last three
Here are their keys.

The Witch hands the Soldier a bunch of keys and a blue checkered apron.

Soldier

Why do I need your apron?

Witch

Listen and be quiet.
Watching every door
Treasure ferocious dog -
For a hundred years, no one, believe me,
Didn't take the legs -
Skulls in that dungeon
They lie in piles.
What is there with a saber and shrapnel
Don't scare them.
But if you plant those dogs
On my apron
You can easily get along with them.

Soldier (suspicious)

What about you yourself
Do not go down to this kennel?

Witch

I'm old, honey!
No urine - I have to go to bed
It's time for the grave.

Soldier

Only, witch, without deceit -
Half the money!

Witch

I won't cheat
I'll give you everything.

Soldier

Well, what about me for this,
Old one, will you?

Witch

There is a flint somewhere.
Here you bring it.
From the time I dropped
Like I'm not me
After all, she gave it to me
My grandmother!

Soldier

Well, flint, so flint!
The agreement is good!

Witch

You will do the job, soldier,
You will have a good life!

The witch turns to the tree and starts waving her arms.

Witch (singing)

Olsaver dirtan!
Olzaver chirtan!
Olzapool khirtan!
Olzapur tirtan!

There is a thunderclap. The tree staggers, and a hollow appears in it.

Witch

Well, now it's time, soldier,
Here, tie it up.

The Witch gives the Soldier the end of the rope, while she herself holds the second. A soldier with a rope climbs a tree and throws the end of the rope into a hollow.

Soldier

Is there enough rope to the bottom?
Deep, say.

The Witch shows the Soldier a huge coil of rope.

Witch

There will be more if needed
Do not worry!
Go down to even hell
And back - even to paradise!

The soldier puts his head in the hollow. It's getting quite dark. There is a change of scenery of the first and second plan.

Voice of a Soldier (singing)

If you have met with death,
And saw on the battlefield
In the glare of the enemy's eyes,
And I was never afraid
That death will not deal with you
And this time.
In the black sky a black raven
Curls, and fights with a soldier
Enemy army.
And he is still a warrior -
Not for him, but for her
To die!
Aty-baty! We are soldiers
Without sparing life, we climb
To hell with the horns!
And those horns will be taken!
We are separate, we are together
Like a hurricane!

It becomes light. Now in the foreground on the left is a high wall of a cave with a hollow at the top, a rope hangs from the hollow. On the right in the foreground is just a sheer wall, in the middle is a door. In the background are piles of skulls and bones, lamps in niches. A soldier is standing by the rope, holding on to its end and looking around. His satchel lies against the wall.

Soldier

Eco death feasted -
Nowhere to step!
About me in battle did not
Goat something stupid.
And another poor man only
Coming out of the gate
How the troika will crush him
Or the dog will eat it.

The soldier spreads his apron next to the door, and with the key he goes to it and opens it. The First Dog appears in the doorway, guarding the chest. The dog growls.

Soldier

It is immediately evident that he grew up without affection.
Wow, nice dog!
You have eyes like saucers
And, like a cup, a nose.

The Soldier takes the Dog and puts it on his apron. She stops growling. The soldier takes the satchel and returns to the chest.

Soldier

And now, my friend, I'll take a look,
What are you guarding.
Maybe I'll be richer
At least for a penny.

The soldier opens the chest and looks into it.

Soldier

So it is, your chest is copper
Full to the brim.
Vish, the witch did not deceive,
Enough to live.

The Soldier transfers the money from the chest to the satchel and looks at the Dog, the Dog whines. The soldier closes the door.

Soldier

Better on the front
Than on the chest.
And why torture the beast like that
In a stone bag?

The door disappears, another appears instead.

Soldier

I'll take a look now, I guess.
To the second door.

The soldier opens it. The second dog sits in the doorway and guards a larger chest. The dog growls.

Soldier

Yes, I'm small, not scary,
You really believe me.

The Soldier takes the Second Dog, carries it on his apron, sits it down and pets it.

Soldier

Well, now you have two watchdogs!
Wow, nice dog!
And eyes are like wheels
And, like a pumpkin, a nose.

The dog stops growling. The soldier approaches the chest and looks into it.

Soldier

Silver, brothers, how much!
What do I coppers!

The soldier pours copper coins out of his knapsack and begins stuffing it with silver.

Soldier

With them in satchels go only
Goal and the poor.
I'm with this capital
Guy - anywhere!
I'll buy everything in bulk -
I'll go out to the gentlemen!

The soldier closes the door. The door disappears, a third appears instead. The soldier turns to the dogs, they wag their tails.

Soldier

I see something, glad to meet you,
It's more fun together!
I have a trip planned.
In the third of the doors!

The soldier opens the third door. The third dog sits in the doorway and guards a large chest. The dog growls.

Soldier (admiringly)

You are really big and scary!
Very nice dog!
And the eyes! – Two Round Towers!
And with a carriage nose!

The Soldier takes the Third Dog and carries it to the first two.

Soldier

I don't know heavier dogs
I say exactly!
Sit here while I
I'll take a look at your treasure.

The Soldier puts the Third Dog on his apron. The dog stops growling. The soldier approaches the chest and looks into it.

Soldier (astonished)

So much gold, I guess
No, and in the treasury.
With him all his life in any tavern
They will be glad to see me.

The soldier pours silver onto the floor and begins to fill his knapsack with gold, then with difficulty pulls it out of the room.

Soldier

I could live like a king
But, whatever one may say,
There is gold in the knapsack - like pieces of iron,
Don't take everything!

The soldier closes the door. She disappears and a fourth door appears in her place. The soldier approaches the dogs and pets them.

Soldier

Well, my dear, goodbye
It's time for me to go up!
Don't roll your eyes
Tea, not a weather vane!
Here is a piece of bread for you
Yes, bacon.

The soldier gives the dogs a bundle of food, they greedily pounce on it. The soldier shakes his head.

Soldier

The old woman did not feed you
Something like five years old!

The soldier approaches the rope and pulls on it. The Witch appears in the hollow.

Witch

What did my flint and flint find?

Soldier

Heck! I almost forgot!

The soldier looks around and finds a tinderbox.

Witch

Hurry up! Alive!
Did you close the dogs?

Soldier

Be calm, everything is as it should be!
Come on, pull!

The witch tugs lightly on the rope.

Witch

Your reward is heavy.
Satchel something symi.
I am you with such and such a load
And I won't lift
I'll tear my belly from an attempt,
I'll stretch my legs.
You are a flint and an apron
Put it in a backpack.

The Soldier is about to follow the instructions of the Witch, but the First Dog runs up to him and, whining, pulls back on his uniform. And the Soldier ties only the knapsack.

Witch

Soldier

That's right, witch!

Witch

Well, tie it up.
I'll pull out a satchel, soldier,
And then you.

The witch lifts the knapsack up and pulls it into the hollow along with the rope.

Soldier

Soon there?

Witch (gloatingly)

Now, killer whale,
Get yourself out!
(sings)
Deceived, deceived
I cheated!
Got everything back
Oh, and smart!

The witch hides in a hollow. After a while, he looks again.

Witch

Hey, soldier, where is the steel?
Where is my apron?
Acting so ugly
You know, with me!
Give back!

Soldier

I'll give it up when I get out
From your hole.

Witch

To be devoured by nits,
Flesh and mosquitoes!
Look, there was a brainy one!
No, you won't leave!
What are you sitting? Well, sit there!
Either way, you will die!

The witch throws the knapsack down and disappears. The soldier starts to climb up the wall. The hollow closes. The soldier moves down.

Soldier

Here's the damn bitch!
Beelzebub to get enough!
Deftly led the soldier
What to say.
Let's play roundabouts
Grief is not a problem!
And worse than the alteration,
It was, it hit.
What happened -
Seems like a prisoner.
All the same, not in the field, but under the roof -
I lie down and take a nap.
Let the infantry not drink, do not eat,
Still alive -
I can oversleep on the hunt
A year, maybe two.

The soldier goes to bed, all three dogs chant him a lullaby. Some time passes.

Witch's Voice (singing)

Olsaver dirtan!
Olzaver chirtan!
Olzapool khirtan!
Olzapur tirtan!

The hollow opens, and the head of the Witch appears in it.

Witch

Hey, how are you, lost?
Service, respond!

The soldier is silent and does not move. The witch sniffs.

Witch (to herself)

Should have played in the box
And played, it seems.
(to a soldier)
There is no point in fighting with me!
So, my dear!
(sighing)
Nothing to do, have to
Fly there yourself.

The end of the rope falls from the hollow, the Witch descends along it with a bunch of keys. The Soldier gets up, grabs the Witch and drags her down.

Soldier

Why don't they sit at home
Old hag?

Witch (fake)

Oh, entered the lower back!
Oh my leg hurts!
Release me, officer!
Sorry old age!

Soldier

Bite your lying tongue
Do not shed a gift of tears -
Useful to cool off
One more time in hell.

The soldier cuts off the Witch's head with a saber and shows it to the audience.

Witch (grinding her teeth)

I will dream at night!
I'll come for you!
What, my dear, is scary?
I'll pamper you!

Soldier

My friends, soldiers,
They won't let it fall.
In the next world there are more of them
Witchy old women.
At once loaded into a cannon of salt,
Yes on the back - Boo!
For each other in a mess
We are standing up.
And the villains are like flies,
Don't swarm them.

The Soldier tosses the Witch's head away and picks up a bunch of keys.

Soldier (thoughtfully)

Well, here are the keys, it seems
from other doors.
Unlock them, or something, too,
Al leave soon?
Though it's scary, but passion is like
I would like to take a look.

The soldier comes to the door and opens it.

Soldier

Hey, is anyone alive? Get out!

The wind whistles from the open door. The soldier recoils.

Soldier

How much can you blow?

On the walls of the cave, a lot of multi-colored highlights appear. The soldier grabs his sword.

Soldier

Who are they?

captives

Dreams and spirits!

Soldier

I'll kill everyone now!

captives

We are all prisoners of the old woman.
You, soldier, saved us!

Soldier

If so, fly, brothers,
Only churn in the future
Evil witches don't get caught
Don't sit in the hole!

Glare disappears. In place of the open door, the next one appears. The soldier opens it too. Bright spots appear again on the walls of the cave.

Soldier

Everybody's Free! Everyone fly!
I will bless you all!

The soldier throws gold after the spirits and dreams.

Soldier

Everyone out there, come out!
I give you the will!

Spirits disappear. The soldier approaches the dogs.

Soldier

Aren't dogs so sick of it
Guard money?
And without them in the world it is possible,
You dogs live!

The dogs are silent. The soldier takes the satchel and ties it to the end of the rope.

Soldier

Well, of course, it's up to you!
No offence, -
Upstairs there are more beautiful dogs
And kinder looking.

The soldier climbs the rope. It's getting quite dark. There is a change of scenery of the first and second plan.

Voice of a Soldier (singing)

At-two higher! More higher!
The one who should be hanged
The neck will not turn!
At least a hundred times you fall from the roof
And drown in the river two hundred times -
Someone save!
Too early for me to die
I have in this world
Do not count the cases!
If there is grief for a soldier,
That's right, happiness is somewhere
For a soldier there is!
That's the way this world works
What gives all people a chance
Happiness in turn.
Be sure! Stay calm!
Evil will always get its
And good - take it!

It becomes light. Now in the foreground on the left is the royal palace, on the right is the inn, in the background is the city. A Soldier's head appears in the middle of the scene, and then he himself is selected. The soldier looks around.

Soldier

That's the witch's whims,
Like, climbed into the hollow,
Well, get out of where ...
Eka skidded!

The soldier pulls out his satchel by the rope. The owner of the hotel looks out of the window of the inn.

Soldier

People! Where did I find myself?
What is this country?

Hotel owner

Morning, and already drunk,
Like Satan!
Get out of here, rogue!
Dodger! Weasel! Thief!

The owner of the hotel runs out into the square with a stick.

Soldier

Come on, look in my satchel!

Hotel owner

Guilty, sir!

The innkeeper falls on his knees before the Soldier.

Hotel owner

I recognized it as a sinful deed,
For me to fall!
Here one soldier tried
Steal my ax!

God forbid!
You are the spitting image of a nobleman,
Even if it's all dirty!

Soldier

Well, get up, my friend, rather,
I'm not angry.

The Soldier helps the Innkeeper to get up.

Hotel owner

Never met gentlemen kinder!
I'll be nice to you -
I have the best in the capital
Inn.

Soldier

And feed, so you get
This louis!

The innkeeper grabs the coin and pulls the soldier into the house with him.

Hotel owner

I'll be glad to see you, your grace,
Please in everything!

Soldier

This is for your poverty
This is for hire!

The Soldier gives the Innkeeper two more coins and enters the inn. The innkeeper bows many times. The soldier appears in the first floor window.

Hotel owner

Would you like to taste
Coffee-glazed?
Or duck pate?

Soldier

Bring it all!
Yes, send me a tailor -
I'll order an outfit.
I need a smart servant...

Innkeeper (bowing)

I am glad to serve you!

The soldier leaves the hotel and gives the Boss a heavy purse.

Soldier (with a sigh)

Well, serve, and I'm mine
Served with a vengeance!
Until now, close your eyes
All bluzhitsya fight.

The innkeeper runs to the palace and hides in it. The soldier goes back to the hotel and appears in the window. The innkeeper returns with many fancy boxes and enters the house. The soldier disappears through the window.

Voice of a Soldier

Out of sight the uniform in patches,
Saber, boots!
The cursed bow is not given,
Come on, help!

The soldier comes out of the inn already in a new rich dress, with a magnificent bow around his neck. The innkeeper follows him with bows.

Hotel owner

How amorous! How luxurious!
Don't take your eyes off!
Yes, in this outfit you can
At least go to the ball!
Dinner at the Countess's
In honor of her own dog
Grand Reception at the Duchess's
Tomorrow at three o'clock
On Wednesday, a ball at the Baroness
In the rose garden
And on Thursday - at the viscountess
In the castle on the pond
Premiere again on Friday
Opera "Sin"
And dinner at the chamberlain ...

Soldier

That's good!

The Soldier and the Innkeeper walk slowly towards the King's castle and stop in front of it, looking at the facade.

Hotel owner

And on Saturday the ball "Sunday" ...

Soldier

Completely, I understood.
And when, tell me, my dear,
Ball with the king?

Hotel owner

I'm sorry your grace
For seventeen years
So that bad things don't happen
There are no balls in the castle.
once prophesied
Witch to the king
What will he pass off as a soldier
My daughter.
They say she's in that tower
Sitting under lock and key.

Both look up at the highest window.

Soldier

Poor thing, it's scary to think
How sad she is.

The maid of honor looks out of this window.

Maid of honor

What are you staring at, boobies?
Go away! Away!

Soldier

Wow princess!
Looks like a witch's daughter!

The Soldier and the Innkeeper move away from the castle.

Hotel owner

This is the eldest of the maids of honor,
In anger - real hell!
Knows all the soldiers, I'm sure
Over here.
So that!

Soldier (dreamy)

That would be for a princess
At least take a look!

Hotel owner

They watch so much that even the devil
Do not slip through the gap.

Soldier

What can't be done?
I would give a lot!

The soldier rings his purse.

Hotel owner (frightened)

It could cost your life!

Soldier

Well, then to the ball!

The Soldier and the Innkeeper hide in the house. The King appears in the window of the castle.

King

What happened? What's happened?
What else has gone wrong?

Maid of honor

Two passed by.
Looks like it worked out!

The king and the maid of honor hide in the window at the same time. It's getting dark, lights are on in the windows. Dreams and Spirits fly around the city.

Dreams (sing)

In the silent heavens wonderful
The pale light of the moon.
Night falls, and people
Dreams are coming.
In the windows of castles, in the windows of towers,
In every poor house.
The coward is dreaming of himself brave,
A beggar is a rich man.

A soldier looks out of the window on the first floor of the hotel.

Soldier (singing)

I dream that I am a princess
Head over heels in love...

The soldier disappears. The princess looks out from the upper window of the royal castle.

princess (singing)

I dream, I'm walking through the forest,
And towards - He.

The princess moves away from the window. From the window of the inn on the second floor, the owner of the hotel looks out.

Innkeeper (singing)

I dream that I am a nobleman
Title received.

The owner of the hotel is hiding. The maid of honor looks out of the window of the royal castle.

Maid of honor (sings)

I dream that the order of the ladies
The king gave me.

The maid of honor hides. The King looks out of the window of the royal castle.

King (singing)

I dream about what kind of soldier
I'm giving away my daughter...
(screams in horror)
BUT! Nightmare! Get off you damned one!

The princess looks out her window.

Princess (capriciously)

Dad, I'm sleeping!

The King and Princess disappear.

Spirits (sing)

People watch dreams, and spirits
Help them.
They will wash the boilers for the cooks,
Everything will be hidden by a tailor,
The fishermen's nets will be mended,
Boots - a messenger
And put good children
Lollipop in your mouth!
Will them in their beds
Sweet sweet sleep
And the moon furtively in their forehead -
Gently kiss...

Multi-colored highlights disappear, it becomes light. The owner of the hotel runs out of the inn with a cauldron in his hands.

Hotel owner

Robbed! Ruined!
Ate all the broth
And washed the boiler.
On a crook crook!
Hey you, your honor,
Maybe stop sleeping?
You promised me today
Give it up for a stay!
Didn't pay for a month, a week
Didn't give tea.

A Soldier appears in the window.

Soldier (yawning)

Go away, really
Here you go, get it!

The soldier comes to the threshold and gives him a handful of coppers.

Hotel owner (with horror)

Soldier

There are no others.
Just now there was a ball
And on it I am a baronet
Lost in cards.
I remember giving the marquise
A dozen tapestries.
Here, I bought a lorgnette for near,
I'm a cavalier.

The soldier shows the lorgnette to the owner of the hotel.

Soldier

I gave it to the cardinal. God's
The temple cannot be denied.
He gave to the poor - they too
We must help.
I care about the poor
After all, he himself was poor,
And you, I'll get rich,
I'll give you money too!
Now I'll say a word
And open the door.
There's a lot of good stuff in there.

The soldier throws the last pennies on the ground. The innkeeper starts picking them up.

Soldier

Let the people take it!

The soldier runs to the hotel and returns with a large coil of rope, stands in the middle of the stage and starts waving his arms.

Soldier (imitating the Witch)

Izver tahtan!
Damn land surveyor!
Toddler caftan!
And the devil's skewer!

Nothing happens, the Innkeeper looks at the Soldier like he's crazy.

Soldier (puzzled)

Here's a shame! Apparently something
I said not.
Eh, infantry, you are infantry,
Memory is a sieve!

How did she say...

Hotel owner

Come on into the house.
Today the former chambers
Friend, not about you.
But some housing
I will provide.
There is a little room under the roof
Just an attic.
If you want, pay half a day,
Well, if you want it.
And you will return the debts with work,
You will serve me.

Soldier (with a sigh)

Eh, not long without a care
I had to live.

The Soldier and the Innkeeper enter the house, after a while the Soldier in his former attire comes out with a broom and begins to sweep the area in front of the inn.

Soldier

Oh, my fate is a villain!
And it's always like that with her
Earn a penny
Drop a quarter!

It's getting dark. Lights are on in the windows. Only the window on the second floor of the hotel remains dark. The soldier returns to the house, and after a while appears in his dark window.

Soldier

Today at the Marquis
masquerade ball,
There will be dances and surprises...
I'm sorry I didn't call.
And the cornet swore to come in,
So I didn't go.
I was left all alone
Deprived of all hope.
Sitting in the dark is sad.
Heck! I almost forgot!
I have a flint
There was a cinder in it.
They warm a man's soul
Sun and fire.
Where is lighter - more fun,
If not naked!

The soldier knocks the flint on the flint three times, the light in his window lights up. All three dogs appear in front of the hotel. The soldier looks at them.

Soldier

Well, where are you from?
What, the treasure was stolen?
I won't help looking.
I'd be happy to find it myself.

First dog

Say what you want
We will complete everything on time!

Soldier

Life - that you will soon bark yourself -
Money would be a bit.

The dogs disappear and immediately reappear with purses one larger than the other. The soldier comes out of the tavern and takes the purses.

Soldier

Here's luck! Well, thank you!

The dogs are disappearing.

Soldier

Hey, where are you?
Come on, damn flint
Send everyone here!

The soldier knocks the steel on the flint three times, three dogs appear again.

First dog

Happy to serve!

Soldier

You two
You can go.

The second and third dogs disappear.

First dog

Ali is there any business?

Soldier

Can you bring
me a princess? Only quietly
So that no one knows.

The first dog nods, runs towards the royal castle and immediately returns with the Princess wrapped in a blanket.

First dog

To wake?

Soldier

How about a coward?
I wouldn't be scared!

The soldier carefully peers into the bundle.

Soldier

Ah, what a beauty!
I won't hold back!

The Soldier kisses the Princess. The princess wakes up.

Princess (scared)

Who are you? I do not know you.

Soldier (kindly)

I tell you!

The princess falls asleep again.

Soldier (in a whisper)

Take her back.

The dog carries the Princess back to the castle.

Soldier (with a sigh)

What is there to say
After all, the princess behind the soldier
Don't be married!

The soldier goes into the house. It becomes light. The owner of the hotel looks out from the window of the first floor.

Hotel owner

Wake up! Get up you bastard!
The hour dawned
Are you still out of bed
Didn't raise the muzzle!

A Soldier appears in the window of the second floor.

Soldier (yawning)

I still want to sleep
Full throat tear.

Hotel owner

I owe a lot, infantry,
Time to give!

The soldier leaves the house with a knapsack in his rich outfit. The innkeeper jumps out after him and grabs his clothes.

Hotel owner

Thinking of running away?
Hey policeman
The place is crying for him
In the hole of debt!

The soldier hands the purse to the Innkeeper.

Soldier

I remember all my debts
I pay bills!
Everything! Goodbye! I'm better than rooms
I want to search!

The innkeeper looks into the purse and rushes after the Soldier.

Hotel owner

Your Highness! Your Grace!
Oh senor! My lord!
Everything is confused in my head,
The devil sat on the tongue!

The Innkeeper runs ahead and kneels in front of the Soldier.

Hotel owner

Don't ruin! Have mercy!
I will redeem myself!
If you want a room
Give me one more!
The whole hotel can you
Lease!
I am at your service again!

Soldier

Here we go!
What is redundant is forgotten!
Your turn for everything!
Boil water trough -
I'll take a bath!

The Soldier and the Innkeeper hide in the house. The King, the Princess and the maid of honor appear in the windows of the castle.

Princess (dreamy)

Ah, papa, to me this night
Had a wonderful dream.
Everything was in it, as if firsthand:
Me, and next to him.
Beast me to Him huge
I brought it on my back
Maybe it was a black cat
Well, maybe a dog.
And the soldier, his master,
Oh, such a cheeky one! -
bent over the mouth
And kissed...

King

What? Who let him?
What was he doing there?

Maid of honor

Kissed on the mouth! Captive!

Princess (offended)

It's just a dream!

The princess disappears through the window.

King

A dream is not a dream, but we actually
Trouble would not be made.
Here's what: get up by the bed,
You will watch!

The maid of honor nods. Both hide in the windows. It's getting dark. Lights come on in the windows. A soldier looks out of the window on the first floor of the hotel. The owner of the hotel looks out from the second floor.

Innkeeper (yawning)

Can not sleep?

Soldier (with a sigh)

No, not sleeping.
It hurts the night is bright ...

Hotel owner

The whole capital is having fun
Today at the ambassador.
There will be dances, fireworks,
In vases ice cream,
Two Indian bayadères
And French cheese.
Here's where to have some fun...

Soldier

Yes, there is no hunting.

Hotel owner

Wouldn't you like to fall in love?

The soldier sighs.

Hotel owner

Soldier

Hotel owner (with interest)

To the baroness? To the viscountess?

Soldier

Full of guessing!

The innkeeper disappears through the window. The soldier leaves the house.

Soldier

I wish I had my princess
See again.
I'll call the dog.

The soldier strikes the steel on the flint once. The first dog appears in front of the hotel.

First dog

Here I am, sir!

The soldier points to the royal castle.

Soldier

Bring her!

The dog runs to the castle and immediately runs out of it with the Princess wrapped in a blanket. The maid of honor appears from behind the castle. From the window of the second floor of the inn, the owner of the hotel cautiously looks out.

Hotel owner

The innkeeper disappears through the window. The Soldier takes the bundle with the Princess and takes it to the hotel. The dog disappears. After a while, cheerful laughter begins to be heard from the Soldier's room. The maid of honor sneaks to the hotel.

Maid of honor (indignantly)

Well, dude, wait!
Not enough for such a thing.
Die three times!
Our little one didn't fit
Watch these dreams!
And the dog, the dog
Devil incarnate!
I'd better mark the house with a sign,
To find later.

The maid of honor, looking around, puts a cross on the wall of the hotel and runs away to the royal castle. Dreams and Spirits fly around the city.

Dreams (sing)

The leaves are sleeping on the trees
Water sleeps in the river
Letters sleep in sleeping lines,
A star sleeps in the sky.
Hopes come true in dreams
Dreams are fading.
Dreaming of autumn spring day,
In winter, flowers.

From the window of the inn on the second floor, the owner of the hotel looks out.

Innkeeper (singing)

I dream that I am a guest
I became rich...

The owner of the hotel disappears, the maid of honor looks out of the window of the castle.

Maid of honor (sings)

I'm seventeen again in a dream
And today the ball ...

The maid of honor disappears, the King appears in the next window.

King (singing)

I dream that I predicted
Witch happiness to me
And told the soldier
Die in the war.

The king disappears through the window.

Dreams (sing)

The moon sleeps, and only for lovers
No dreams -
To them, inspired by each other,
Dreams are not needed.

Dreams and Spirits disappear. A Soldier with a blanket and a Princess come out of the hotel.

A princess

Ah, I didn't have so much fun
Never before.
I must have fallen in love!
I fell in love, right?

Soldier

I'm sorry, but we have to leave.

A princess

The night is so short!
Sleeping and not waking up...

The Soldier strikes a flint and the First Dog appears and wraps the Princess in a blanket.

Soldier

Well, goodbye!

A princess

The Soldier kisses the Princess, The first dog carries her to the castle. The soldier returns to the house, the light in his window goes out. It becomes completely dark, and again Dreams and Spirits fly around the city. There is a change of scenery for the first plan.

Spirits (sing)

The good spirits are back
In the sleeping world of people
To soar through the dark streets
quiet squares,
Wipe glass from dust
pavement wash,
To polish the spiers to a shine,
Repair lanterns.
Lubricate the hinges on the walls
Let's update the painting
And on old tapestries
Bring the colors to life...

It becomes light. The hotel turns out to be decorated with hearts and angels. The owner of the hotel runs out of it with a stick.

Innkeeper (shouting)

Ah, wicked boys!
I'll cut my ears!

A Soldier peeps out of a window on the first floor and looks approvingly at the wall.

Soldier

And it's beautiful!

Hotel owner

Even too much!
I live here!
All me with such a facade
Laugh to death!

The Soldier leaves the hotel and gives the Boss a thick purse.

Soldier

Nothing needs to be changed
I am the owner here!

The innkeeper clutches the purse to his chest, both return to the house. The Princess and the King look out of the windows of the castle.

Princess (dreamy)

Ah, papa, to me this night
He dreamed again...

King (suspicious)

What is a soldier again? Well daughter...

The maid of honor looks out of the window.

Maid of honor

It wasn't a dream!
I went! I followed!
Suddenly a dog came running -
Bulldog crocodile mix
And took her away.
I suffered some kind of fear -
I'm still trembling!

King

I will give you a medal for your courage!
I will reward you with a ribbon!
Tell me what happened next!

A princess

King

Be silent!
If you forgot your honor
You will answer!

A princess

Am I to blame
What do I love him?

King

Now your soldier
I order to execute!

The princess disappears through the window. The king with a rope and the maid of honor leave the castle and head towards the inn.

King (singing)

While living in the neighborhood
People and gentlemen
Won't be in the kingdom
About never.
My castle is magnificent
Among their dirty shacks,
They smoke, we breathe,
And I don't want to!
They have porridge for breakfast
And porridge for lunch
And I have a lamb
Yes, no appetite!
They sing and dance
And I grumble all day
And no one will tell me
What do I want!

The king and the maid of honor stop in front of the hotel.

King (terribly)

What else is this?

Maid of honor (scared)

I don't want to know!

King

Tomorrow I'll double the tax
For housing ... once every five!
This house?

The maid of honor comes closer and inspects the facade, but does not find the cross.

maid of honor (trembling with fear)

No, your grace
Looks like he's not.
Apparently I've lost my way
Or is it really a dream...

King

Well, look, if this night
You won't be afraid
I will send my daughter to the monastery,
And you - under the knife!

The king and the dejected maid of honor go back to the palace. The owner of the hotel looks out of the attic window.

Hotel owner

Almost lost my mind
Lord save!
The king himself has come!

A Soldier appears in the hotel window.

Soldier

Hey! Bring lunch!

Hotel owner

I can smell death a mile away!
It's time for you to run!

Soldier

I do what I want!
Punch in my rooms!

The soldier is hiding in the window.

Hotel owner

Here passion leaped up in the damned -
Power is not terrible!
As if with a soldier
Don't fall together.

The innkeeper hides in the house. It's getting dark. Lights come on in the windows. A soldier with a flint and flint goes out into the street.

Soldier

The owner speaks...
(with a sigh)
No, I won't!

The Boss is looking out of the hotel window again.

Hotel owner

What are you tired of living?

Soldier

I love her!

The owner of the hotel takes his head with his hands and hides in the window. The soldier strikes the steel on the flint once. The first dog appears in front of the hotel.

First dog

Bring?

Soldier

Bring it soon!
Don't let me down -
No old woman, no lackey
Do not follow.

The dog runs to the castle and immediately runs out of it along with the Princess, dressed in a dress. The Soldier hugs the Princess. The dog disappears.

A princess

Dear friend, I am tonight
Didn't close my eyes!
Father wants to separate us
And for the last time
I came to say goodbye to you!
There is time - run!

Soldier

Let's have fun!

A princess

But there are enemies all around!

The soldier draws his saber and threatens invisible opponents with it.

Soldier

Let the bad guys come out!
I will fight them!
'Cause I don't know mercy
When I get angry!

The soldier lowers his saber.

Soldier

You see, there is no one here -
The streets are empty.
Let's be together until dawn
Just me and you!

The Soldier and the Princess enter the house. The maid of honor looks out of the window of the castle.

maid of honor (in a whisper)

Wake up, your grace!
That sassy soldier...

A sleepy king appears in the next window.

King (yawning)

What's happened! What's happened!

Maid of honor

He stole her!

King

Well, where did you look?
Where were you?

Maid of honor

Sitting in a chair by the door
She slept like a dead sleep.

King (angry)

How dare you? How could you?
Guard! Guard!

Nobody shows up.

Maid of honor

I'm not to blame for anything!
The whole palace fell asleep!
And when I wake up, I see
Our little one is not.
The shameless soldier dragged away!

King

Like in a nightmare!
Everything is dead! Everything is lost!
I am a soldier's father-in-law!
All as the witch foretold
The way it is!
Under the protection of an evil spirit
And the mosquito is a sandpiper!
Where to look for her, old woman?
The city is big!

Maid of honor

Believe me, fugitives
We'll find a trail.
I poured a handful of semolina
In your torn pouch
And pinned the princess
Back to hem.

King

Well, you are a rogue, the right word!
The head is a cauldron!

Maid of honor

We need to hurry up
There is no time to wait here.
Otherwise, the birds will wake up
And the groats are pecked.

The maid of honor with a lantern and the King with a rope come out of the castle.

King (singing)

Enemies of my crown
In the country do not count
But they have laws
And there are gallows!
I cry properly guard
Judge and executioner
And for the ropes even
I cry for the gallows!
But I don't understand something
I don't understand something:
Why do they work
Should I do it myself?

The maid of honor and the King approach the hotel.

King

Hell!

maid of honor (triumphantly)

I knew it!
The trail leads here!

King

It was the case, we are impudent
Take the cities!

The king bursts into the house with a loud cry. The maid of honor follows him. From the window on the second floor, the owner of the hotel looks out.

Voice of the King

The King comes out of the hotel, pulling a Soldier tied with a rope. The weeping Princess follows him, the maid of honor with a lantern closes the procession. The owner of the hotel looks after them from the window.

King (singing)

Fate itself dare not
Confront the king!
Prepare, soldier, neck,
And I will find a loop!
Only defending with dignity
desecrated honor,
I am finally calm
I can sleep and eat!

All four hide in the palace.

Hotel owner

Did business, serviceman,
Went to jail!
That's how the service is a lousy dog
Served him!

The innkeeper disappears through the window. It becomes light. A Soldier's head appears in the barred window of the prison. The Executioner comes out of the palace with a gallows and begins to set it up in the square.

Soldier

And luck is jealous -
Once! - and the trail is gone!
Sorry, magic fire
I forgot at home!

The executioner goes to the palace. Drum roll is heard. The princess and the maid of honor look out of the windows of the palace. The Executioner comes out of the castle doors, dragging the Soldier, whose hands are tied, and drags him behind him to the scaffold. They are followed by the King with a decree. The drum roll is silent.

King (reading)

Before you is the enemy of the crown,
Adversary, villain!
At night, he, defying the laws,
Kidnapped people!
Me and the lady of the court
Caught like a thief!
I bring him the most
Death sentence!

Princess (fainting)

Oh! Papa! I'm dying!

The princess disappears through the window.

Maid of honor

Glory to the king!

King (bloodthirsty)

Away, executioner! I myself wish
Tighten the loop!

The executioner with a bow departs and hides behind the scaffold. The King tries in vain to put the noose around the Soldier's neck.

King

Soldier (laughing)

me your mercy,
Nowhere to hurry.
One more moment, no matter what happens
It's good to live.
Here is the last pipe
smoke a sip,
And then at least in a meat grinder,
Though we live in the sand.

Its Owner comes out of the hotel and runs up to the scaffold, carrying a pipe and a steel.

Hotel owner

In this request, you are not in the right,
Sir, refuse!
Order to greater glory
Untie your hands!

King (graciously)

Okay, since people want
So be it!

The King removes the rope from the Soldier's hands. The owner of the Inn hands him a pipe and a steel. The soldier strikes a flint and flint for the first time. The First Dog appears.

First Dog

The soldier strikes the flint a second time. The Second Dog appears.

Second Dog

The soldier strikes the steel for the third time. The Third Dog appears.

Third Dog

The king backs away in horror.

King

Went away! Evil!
I order everyone to be executed!

Soldier

Come on, dogs, save
Friend from the noose!
Grab and drop everyone
Not to be found!

The first Dog lunges at the King and throws him high into the air.

King

Ay! Save!

The First Dog pulls the Executioner from behind the scaffold and throws him after the king.

Executioner

Help!

Then the First Dog drags the maid of honor out of the palace and deals with her.

Maid of honor

Send for a doctor!

The first dog attacks the Innkeeper.

Hotel owner

Not! Wait! Wait!
It's not my fault!

The dog releases the Hotel Owner. He falls on his knees before the Soldier.

Hotel Owner

Have mercy on us, soldier!
Be our king!
We are yours as long as we are alive
But we're about to die!

Soldier

If luck passes by
Then grab it, don't be afraid!
But first on the beloved
I'm marrying mine!

The Princess runs out of the castle and throws herself on the Soldier's neck.

Soldier

We will be the whole capital for a month
Feast in the castle!
Yes, and then have fun -
Live and live!

Queen(grooms). We have one princess.
She needs one groom.
You have two souls in place.
Which one of you two is he?
We will not play hide and seek.
To resolve the issue as soon as possible.
I'll tell you riddles
And let's see who is smarter.
Tough competition awaits
And a big surprise for you:
Who will solve the riddle,
He will receive the main prize.

Riddle 1
Here's a riddle - down the valley
The river is slowly flowing
called Oka.
What's in the middle of the eye?

Answer: It's easier than a trifle,
In the middle is the letter K.

Riddle 2
The mystery is not in the capital,
And in every town
Will not fit in barn
And hide it in your wallet.
It flies in the clouds.
That crawls deep into the sand,
In her hands she is
And it won't go into your mouth.

Answer: Yes, the riddle is not easy.
It's about the letter K.

Riddle 3
Here's a blank sheet of paper
And a green pencil.
Write: "Copenhagen"
This is our glorious city.
What is at the beginning?
All Danes know this.

Answer: If you think about it a little. The answer is the letter K.

Queen. If there were children in this room
The grooms were not helped.
No way these riddles
They couldn't figure it out.

Storyteller. The queen got angry.
She blushed with anger.

Queen. Lord, don't ask.
I won't give up my daughter!
Look for a bride
Somewhere in the other side...

The Queen proudly walks away, followed by the ashamed suitors.
The Soldier appears. He is sad.

Storyteller. Yes, summer doesn't last forever
The cold has come.
Just ran out of coins
Trouble happened.
No money, without them on the shelf
It's time to put your teeth.
And in a miserable closet
The soldier went to live.

Soldier. It's sad to sit in the dark
I don't want to live in the dark!
And I'll take a flint
And now I'll light a candle.

Storyteller. Light flashed, and here in the darkness
Three dogs appeared
Our soldier, as if rooted into the ground -
Frost blew through him.
And the dogs don't get angry
And they flirt with the owner.
It's amazing, it's amazing.
Know, magic flint!

Dogs.
What do you want, master?
- Feel free to speak.
- Every dog ​​is happy
- Serve faithfully.

Storyteller. And the soldier carefully
I asked my dogs...

Soldier. I would like a princess, if possible,
Bring me to the barracks.

Storyteller. Instantly, the dogs disappeared.
Not five minutes have passed
Appeared again in the closet,
And the princess is right there.

A princess. I have not woken up yet,
It's like I'm in a dream!
Is it back
Again happiness to me?

- Finally we are together!
- A princess!
- Soldier!
- You are the groom, I am the bride,
- I am so glad! - I am pleased to!

Soldier. Heart beat sweetly
In a stormy sea of ​​fire
Really fell in love
Are you a princess in me?

Soldier and Princess (speaking alternately).
- Finally we are together!
- A princess!
- Soldier!
You are the groom, I am the bride.
- I am so glad!
- I am pleased to!

The Witch appears.

Storyteller. The old woman was not mistaken here
The eye sees and the ear hears.

Witch. Here is a soldier, but not alone!
Ah… the princess next to him…
That's luck so luck!

Storyteller. And from the joy of a veal
Quickly, quickly, like a messenger.
She ran to the palace.
I woke up the queen
Reported everything to her at once.
And self-satisfied
Went home to sleep.

The queen was angry:
What was predicted happened.
What was appointed - came true!

What happened in the castle!
At least a thousand guards
They are looking for the poor soldier.
Finally got it -
And an arrow to the palace.

The Queen appears.
Queen. Shut up his dungeon
And in the morning light
Give into the hands of the executioner -
I want it today!

A princess. Queen, I'm suffering
I beg, I conjure
I beg you in front of everyone:
Swap anger for mercy.

Storyteller. Here is a serviceman on the platform.
Everything inside boils with anger:
How did he get into trouble
For nothing, but just like that?

The executioner appears.
He asks the executioner...

Soldier. Do not rush to chop off the shoulder!
Too bad with white light
I part not in battle.
If so, then please
Please fulfill my request:
I have a little left to live -
So, so be it...
Permission to track
Still smoke your pipe.

Storyteller. And the soldier leisurely
He takes out his flint,
Says, as if by chance ...

Soldier. Lighter Help!

Storyteller. At that moment everything went dark.
It flickered, it faded.
In this terrible twilight
There are three dogs!
Roared like thunder
And they made a massacre!
It's hard to remember what happened!
The guard fainted
The executioner flew into the sky,
Like a soccer ball!
With the evil and nasty queen
The conversation was very short:
Dogs grab her heels -
Well, throw it up, throw it up!

Queen. Have mercy! Have mercy!
Help! Don't ruin!
Hurry up and calm down
Those mad dogs.
I'm dying for this!

Storyteller. It was scary, it hurt
But the soldier said...

Soldier. Enough!
It will be awkward in the future
They have business with me!

The queen runs away, the dogs disappear.

Storyteller. Our soldier and princess together
Married honor by honor
And in harmony and love
They lived as long as they could.
So ended happily
This is a fairy tale about fire!
The storyteller closes the book.
