Straw, coal and bean

Vein-was one old woman, old-prestaraja. Eighty years to it was. The old woman on a kitchen garden has gone, has collected the whole dish of beans and has decided them to weld. "Here, - thinks, - I will weld beans and I will have dinner".Растопила it the furnace and that fire has inflamed better, has thrown in a fire chamber a straw bunch. And then began to strew to a pot beans.

Here here all also has begun.

When it strewed beans to a pot, one bean took and has fallen to a floor.

Has fallen and lays near to a straw.

And here, on a floor, the heated piece of coal has jumped out of an oven.

Here the straw also speaks:

- Lovely friends, whence you here?

- I, - answer a piece of coal, - from an oven. If, - speaks, - I therefrom have not jumped out, I would be gone: it should me to burn down and be scattered by ashes.

And the bean speaks:

- And me has had the luck, that I here have fallen. And that should me, as well as to other my friends-beans, in porridge to boil soft. And the straw speaks:

- And I am glad, that to an oven have not got, and here I lay.

- Well, and what we will do now? - Asks a piece of coal.

- I think, - the bean, - here that has told. Pojdyomte to travel.

- Let's go, we will go! - the piece of coal and a straw have told.

Also they have gone together - a bean, a straw and a piece of coal - to travel. Long went and have come to a streamlet.

The streamlet small, very narrow and to get over through it it is difficult - the bridge is not present. How here to be?

The straw has thought and speaks:

- We here that will make: I will be thrown with бережка on бережок, and you on me will be forwarded, as on the bridge.

So they also have made. The straw from coast on coast was threw, and the first the piece of coal has run on it. Runs, as on the bridge. Has reached the middle, hears - water splashes below. To it it became terrible, it has stopped and shouts:

- I am afraid some water, I am afraid some water!

For now it stood and shouted, the straw from it has lighted up, has broken up on two parts and has departed to a stream. The piece of coal too has fallen in water, has hissed: "to Tone, rescue!" - also has gone to a bottom.

And the bean was more cautious - it ashore remained. Remained ashore and allow to laugh at a piece of coal and a straw. He laughed, laughed and has burst from laughter. Badly it would be necessary to it, but, on its happiness, the vagrant tailor sat ashore. The tailor of a thread has got and has sewed both половинки a bean. And as at the tailor of white threads with itself was not, it has sewn up a bean with a black thread. Since then at all beans a black seam in the middle.
