In one peasant hut there lived a guy Emelya with his old mother. One winter he went to fetch water with buckets, and he came across a pike. Emelya was delighted at the fish soup he could make from it, but then the pike spoke in a human voice: “Let me go to the little children, the pike babies (there are 44 of them). How will they, orphans, be without a mother? Have pity on me.” Emelya took pity on the pike and released it back into the river. And for this the pike promised: “When you want something, just say, ‘by the pike’s command, by my desire,’ and everything will come true.” And so, at Emelya’s command, the buckets set off home on their own. Emelya himself also returned to his native hut, lay down on the stove and began to enjoy the singing of the tame birds in their cages. In the royal palace, Princess Marya also listened to the singing of the birds. By that time, her father, Tsar Gorokh, visited her with his daughter’s nannies and announced the upcoming wedding. Then an overseas prince came to the tsar to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. Meanwhile, Emelya's mother persuaded him to go to the forest to get firewood, and the latter agreed to do so. So he whispered, "By the pike's command, by my desire!" and went on a sleigh to get firewood. But, by chance, on the way he not only surprised and frightened passers-by, blew off the roof of someone else's hut, but also ran over a carriage in which the prince and his minister were, and they did not even hear his warning, "Be careful!" The carriage, along with all the passengers and crew, overturned to the ground. But when the prince began to collapse, cursing because of Emelya, Emelya had long since disappeared. Arriving at the tsar, the prince waited to meet the princess, and then the dance began. At that time, Yemelya found a portrait of the beautiful princess that had accidentally fallen out of the prince's carriage in the sleigh and wished that she would definitely fall in love with him. The latter fainted and, when she woke up, was already in love with another. For this, the king put her in a tower until she confessed who exactly she was in love with. After that, he learned about the prince's offender and ordered his chief general to bring Yemelya to the palace. The general arrived to Yemelya and ordered him to go to the king, but only received magical blows from his drummer's drumsticks on the head. Having flown out of the house, the general ordered the drummer to make Yemelya carry out the king's order, otherwise he would be left not only without a drum, but also without a head. Yemelya felt sorry for the drummer and arrived at the palace in a self-propelled stove. The king became angry and ordered Yemelya to be put in the tower, but it was already occupied by Princess Marya. Then the king ordered Marya to come down and go out to the one she loved. But what was the king's surprise when he saw that his daughter had chosen a peasant, and not an overseas prince! Because of this, the prince was offended and left, declaring war on the state and ordered his soldiers to attack. But Emelya, thanks to a spell, defeated the entire enemy army. Then, leaving the king, Emelya and Marya the princess began to live a happy life.
