Many people know the fairy tale "Smart Worker". It belongs to the so-called everyday works of this kind. Recall its summary.

Big brothers fail

The tale "Smart Worker" tells that one old man had three sons. The brothers decided to get a job with the priest. He promised a good salary, but set a condition: if they leave early, they will not see money for their work. First, the older brother went to the priest. He exhausted him with hard work and hunger. The older brother had to carry his legs in order to stay alive. The greedy priest, referring to the agreement, did not give him a penny. The same thing happened with the middle brother. He returned home to his father with nothing.

Younger brother at the priest's job

Russian folk tales for children often begin with the youngest of the three sons of some poor man trying to resolve a dangerous situation. The described work is no exception. The younger brother went to work for the ass after the two older ones.

The owner's agreement was still the same: if you leave early, you won't get a penny. The priest woke up the worker early and, not allowing him to have breakfast, went with him to a distant mowing. Butthe younger brother, pretending to have forgotten the ropes, returned and begged the priest for fish pies and a loaf of white bread. After mowing, the priest wrapped himself in matting and ordered the hard worker to rule the horse. And the younger brother ate pies with bread, drank water and is happy. "Smart Worker" is a Russian folk tale that teaches that sometimes only wisdom, cunning and ingenuity help out of trouble.

Tricks of a smart worker

The younger brother turned to another road, not the one that the pop indicated.

They drove into an unfamiliar field, they had to make a detour. On the way they came across a village where they decided to stop by for the night. Our heroes stopped near the shopkeeper's hut. The younger brother went to ask him for an overnight stay, but he warned that the father was unhe althy with him, out of his mind. He ordered the shopkeeper not to offer the same thing to the priest twice, as if he was angry about it. Friendly hosts invite guests to dine. The priest does not sit down, waiting for another call. So he remained hungry. But the fairy tale "Smart Worker" does not end there. The summary, unfortunately, does not allow to convey in detail all the tricks of the youngest of the brothers.

At the shopkeeper's lodging for the night

The worker, having eaten, fell asleep. He was awakened by a hungry priest and asked to be fed. Then the worker said that he noticed a pot of porridge in the stove. Batiushka climbed in there, put his hands into the hot cauldron, but could not pull it out. The younger brother advises him to break the pot against the wall to free his hands. So did the pop, but inIn the dark, he did not calculate and broke the head of the owner himself with a pot. The shopkeeper jumped up, screaming at the top of his lungs. The father was frightened, but to run away from there. And his cunning farmhand persuaded the owner of the house to give him a hundred rubles in search of a priest. This is how the smart worker deceived everyone. A Russian folk tale teaches you how to find profit in any situation.

Happy Ending

Taking money and horses, the younger brother went home. On the way he met a frightened priest. The cunning worker told him that if the father did not want to answer for the murder of the shopkeeper, he would have to give the worker three hundred rubles and two good horses. The priest did not regret anything, and he was also pleased that he got off so cheaply. And the younger brother came home with money and gifts, saying that he received from the priest both for himself and for the brothers in full.
