Russian folk story: the seven brothers of Semian
once upon a time, the family had seven brothers, who were called “the seven brothers” because of their name, chemien.
they're craftsmen.
on one occasion they went to the fields and planted food.
the tsar came by with a few generals.
the tsar looked in the field and felt strangely when he saw seven people of the same size.
"what's going on?" according to the tsar, “the seven farmers on a field are not only the same tall and small, but also the same face, so you can ask what these farmers are”.
the tsar's squire immediately ran and brought the seven brothers of shemiang to the palace.
"all right!" the tsar said, "tell me, who are you? the youth answered, "we are seven brothers, seven brothers, seven brothers, all craftsmen, and we work in the fields of our father and grandfather.
each of us has learned a trade." the tsar said, "then one of you will say, who will do what?" the boss said, "i'll make a pillar of iron, it's long, from the ground to the sky." "i can climb on this pillar and look in every direction and see what's going on in a very far place." "i am the navigator, shemion." three said, "i'll just wave a few axes, and i'll be able to get a boat ready and sail to sea." "i'm chemyon, archer.
i can shoot a flying fly with an arrow." "i am the star of the stars, shemion.
i'll count the stars.
there's so many stars in the sky that one doesn't miss." "i'm the farmer shemion.
i can grow lots and lots in a day, sow and collect food.” "so what do you do?" the tsar asked the smallest shemion.
"tsar grandpa, i can dance and play flute." then a general of the tsar came and said, "oh, tsar grandfather! we need the craftsmen, and the man who dances and sings, please order out.
we don't need such people.
he just eats bread for nothing." "do it!" said the tsar.
little shemion bowed to the tsar, and said, "tsar grandpa, please let me perform my work and play a song with a flute." the tsar said, "when you blow, get out of my palace." little shermion takes out a wood flute and plays a russian dance.
it's when people jump and move their smart feet! the tsar dances, the nobles dance, the guards dance; the horses in the stables dance, the cows in the cattle shed do their feet and the cocks shake gently.
the general who said shermion was useless, was better than everyone.
he was sweating, his beard shivering and his tears running straight towards his cheeks.
and then the tsar wakes up: "stop playing the flute! i can't jump.
i'm out of strength." little shemion said, "good people, rest.
general, i'm going to ask you to keep dancing because your language is vicious and your eyes are harsh." people have calmed down, and only generals are still jumping.
soon, he jumped on the floor.
little shermion no longer plays the flute.
he said, "that's how i work!" tsar, huhHa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! The tsar said, "All right, boss, you're going to have to do the show!" The boss took a 15-pt hammer (16.38 kg) and exercised a big iron column from the ground to the sky.
Shermion's second on the pole, looking all over.
The tsar said to him, "What do you see?" Shemion's second reply was, "I saw the ship sailing at sea and the crops matured on the ground." “An island of Buyan was also seen in the sea.
There's a golden palace on the island, and the beautiful girl, Elena, is sitting in the window with a silk carpet." "Beautifully beautiful, not found in fairy tales, indelible.
She had a month of light under her braid and a pearl on each hair.” The tsar listens and wants to have a beautiful Yelena as his wife.
He wants to send the media.
The evil general encouraged the tsar to say, “Grandfather of the tsar, send the seven brothers of Shemion to ask for beautiful Jelena.
They're all craftsmen.
If the beautiful princess is not brought here, then order their execution and kill their heads.” "Well, I sent them." The tsar said.
So the tsar sent the seven brothers of Shemion to ask the beautiful Jelena.
“If not, the tsar says, “I will take your heads off your shoulders with a sword!” “What should I do?” The navigator, Shermion, picked up an ax and cut it a few times, made a boat, equipped with utensils, gears, and went into the water.
His ship was filled with gifts and stones.
The tsar ordered the evil general to go with his brothers.
The general was pale, but nothing could be done.
The people boarded the ship, and the sails on the boat made sand and sand, and they sailed from the sea towards Buyan Island.
I don't know how long they've been traveling, but they're in another country.
They came to the beautiful house of Jelena and brought many precious gifts to mediate for the tsar.
Beautiful Jelena accepted the gift and looked and looked.
The evil general whispered to her in her ear: "Beautiful Jelena, you can't go.
The tsar is old and useless! In his country, the wolves howled and the bears were sore." The beautiful Jelena listened to the wicked general and drove out all the media.
And when they walked out of the palace door, they all thought, "What's next, brothers? I'll take care of the princess." The farmer, Shemion, had tilled the beach within an hour, planted wheat, cut food and baked bread for the road.
Everything's ready on board, and the brothers are standing in front of the boat waiting for little Shemion to come back.
Little Jeremy came to the palace door.
"Your sea, your island of Buyan, is beautiful, but our country is 100 times better than this.
Our pastures are green and our rivers are blue; our fields are everywhere; our bays are white eels, and the grasses are green and ours are blueThe stars are gravitated by the sun and the moon in the sky, and our water is sweet as honey, and the water of the creek is silver.
Early in the morning, the shepherd went to the green grass, blew up a wood flute, and you'd walk with him as you wanted to...” At that point, little Shermion blew the gill flute, and the beautiful Jelena followed the flute out of the gold threshold.
Shermion plays the flute and walks in the garden, and the beautiful Yelena follows him.
Shemion walked through the garden and she went through the garden.
Shemion passed the grass, and she passed the grass.
Shemion went to the beach and she went to the beach.
Shemion got on the boat.
She got on the boat.
The brothers were quick to pull out the jumper, turn the bow and head for the blue sea。
