Mashenka  (Машенька)

A tale from NN district

There were once upon a time a man with his wife. They had a daughter called Mashenka. And suddenly the wife died. The man got married again with another woman.

Stepmother didn’t like Mashenka. The life was impossible. Stepmother gave Mashenka a lot of job and sometimes even shouted at her. The man felt sorry for her. After that he decided to take Mashenka to the old witch. They went to the forest and saw there a hut on the chicken legs.

The man said:

  • Hut, turn to me!

The hut turned and the old witch came out. She asked:

  • What do you need? Why are you disturbing me?

The man gave a bow and answered:

  • I took my daughter Mashenka with me. Please employ her as a housemaid.

The old witch took Mashenka with her and gave her a job. The man turned back home that time. The old witch said to Mashenka:

  • Now I want to have some rest, and you have to cook and sweep the floor that time. After it I will play hide-and-seek with you. If I find you, I will eat you, and if not - I will reward you.

Mashenka scared and cried:

  • How can I avoid the death?

The little mouse ran to her suddenly and said:

  • Don’t cry, girl, I will help you and save you from death.

Mashenka wondered and asked:

  • How can you help me, little mouse?

The mouse answered her:

  • I will give you the hide-away hat. When the old witch will tell you to hide, you need to put that hat on. Other things are my troubles.

After a while the old with woke up and said:

  • So, Mashenka, let’s play hide-and-seek. You have to hide, and I will seek you.

At that moment Mashenka put the hide-away hat on and became invisible. The old witch was seeking for her long time and was exhausted, but she didn’t manage to find Mashenka.

  • It’s all, - she said, - you are the winner. Come in sight, Mashenka!

Mashenka put the hat off and appeared. The old witch wondered that fact, but she was true to her word. The witch rewarded the girls and left her at home.

At that time there were following events in the country. Mashenka’s stepmother died and the man came to the old witch to take his daughter back home. The witch wasn’t at home at this moment. Mashenka came to her father fit and elegant. The man was glad that Mashenka was alive and took her back home. After that the man didn’t get married at whole.

And this is the end of the story.
