“There was a jester. The jester had a joke wife. The jester was sitting on the stove and invented what kind of joke he would get. The joke washed the floor. The jester invented, jumped off the stove and said: “Mistress, look: seven jocks will come to us, I command you to collect on the table, you don’t want to and I will kill you. And when you fall, I will take a whip, hit once - you will move, hit two - you turn around, hit three - you get up and go to the table. Then we will sell a whip expensive. ” No sooner said than done. Seven jokes appeared, saw a miracle and paid three hundred rubles for a whip.

We returned seven jokes home and decided to try a whip. They killed their seven wives and began to whip. But not one was resurrected.

And the angry widowers came running to the jester to deal with him for such a trick. The jester hid his joke, and he dressed himself as a woman, like his sister. He sat down at the yarn, sits and spins. They searched the jester of the whole house, but did not find the culprit. They see, a sister is sitting and shutting down. They grabbed a young man and took it to them: let him serve as a hairpin while there is a jester.

Seven jesters had seven daughters, and it was time to marry them. A merchant with two matchmakers came to them, rich, rich. That was the joy! But the merchant of the joke daughters did not like something, and he chose a cook.

He brought the merchant young to his bedroom, and the wife does not know how to be. She says to her husband: “Oh, dear, something is bad for me. Plant me in the window on the canvas to ventilate, and as I shake the canvas, pull it back. " The merchant obeyed, tied a sheet and lowered him out of the window. And when he pulled back, a goat was hanging on the sheet. The merchant was frightened, he began to call the servants and domestic: “Save, good people, the wife turned Kozlukha!” Friends came running, undertook to slander, they began to slow down and toss the goat, and so dispersed that they had kicked the goat to death.

The inactive merchant began to bury his wife. And the jesters are right there, they jumped over the fence and survive: rightly for you that I chose a cooking. Suddenly a jester comes, and with him seven soldiers. What have you done, dogs? Where is my sister? And those to him with a goat. The merchant's jester by the beard: “Such, Syaka! He took his sister, and give a dead goat. I will take you and leot you! " The merchant was scared, paid three hundred rubles, if only they would release. And the jester began to have fun with the wallet and with his jokes, and soldiers with jokes ”(stated by Prokofiev according to the folk tale of the Perm province).
