The tale of Ivanushka and sister Alyonushka. Sister Alyonushka and brother Ivanushka (all versions of the fairy tale)
Once upon a time there lived an old man and an old woman, they had a daughter Alyonushka and a son Ivanushka.
The old man and the old woman died. Alyonushka and Ivanushka were left alone.
Alyonushka went to work and took her brother with her. They are walking along a long path, across a wide field, and Ivanushka wants to drink.
- Sister Alyonushka, I’m thirsty!
-Wait, brother, let's get to the well.
They walked and walked - the sun was high, the well was far away, the heat was oppressive, the sweat was protruding. A cow's hoof is full of water.
- Sister Alyonushka, I’ll take some bread from the hoof!
- Don’t drink, brother, you’ll become a calf!
The brother obeyed, let's move on.
The sun is high, the well is far away, the heat is oppressive, the sweat is protruding. The horse's hoof is full of water.
- Sister Alyonushka, I’ll drink from the hoof!
- Don’t drink, brother, you’ll become a foal!
Ivanushka sighed, and we moved on again.
The sun is high, the well is far away, the heat is oppressive, the sweat is protruding. A goat's hoof is full of water.
Ivanushka says:
- Sister Alyonushka, there’s no urine: I’ll drink from the hoof!
- Don’t drink, brother, you’ll become a little goat!
Ivanushka did not listen and drank from a goat's hoof.
Got drunk and became a little goat...
Alyonushka calls her brother, and instead of Ivanushka, a little white goat runs after her.
Alyonushka burst into tears, sat down under a haystack, crying, and the little goat was jumping around next to her.
At that time a merchant was driving past:
-What are you crying about, red maiden?
Alyonushka told him about her misfortune.
The merchant tells her:
- Come marry me. I will dress you in gold and silver, and the little goat will live with us.
Alyonushka thought, thought and married the merchant.
They began to live and get along, and the little goat lives with them, eats and drinks from the same cup with Alyonushka.
One day the merchant was not at home. Out of nowhere, a witch comes: she stood under Alyonushka’s window and so affectionately began to call her to swim in the river.
The witch brought Alyonushka to the river. She rushed at her, tied a stone around Alyonushka’s neck and threw her into the water. And she herself turned into Alyonushka, dressed up in her dress and came to her mansion. No one recognized the witch. The merchant returned - and he did not recognize him.
One little goat knew everything. He hangs his head, doesn't drink, doesn't eat. In the morning and evening he walks along the bank near the water and calls:
Alyonushka, my sister!..
Swim out, swim out to the shore...
The witch found out about this and began to ask her husband to kill and slaughter the kid...
The merchant felt sorry for the little goat, he got used to it. And the witch pesters so much, begs so much - there is nothing to be done, the merchant agreed:
- Well, kill him...
The witch ordered to build high fires, heat cast iron cauldrons, and sharpen damask knives.
The little goat found out that he did not have long to live, and said to the named father:
- Before I die, let me go to the river, drink some water, rinse my intestines.
- Well, go.
The little goat ran to the river, stood on the bank and cried out pitifully:
Alyonushka, my sister!
Swim out, swim out to the shore.
The fires are burning high,
Cast iron boilers are boiling,
Damask knives are sharpened,
They want to kill me!
Alyonushka from the river answers him:
Oh, my brother Ivanushka!
The heavy stone pulls to the bottom,
Silk grass has tangled my legs,
Yellow sands lay on my chest.
And the witch is looking for the little goat, cannot find it, and sends a servant:
-Go find the kid, bring him to me.
The servant went to the river and saw a little goat running along the bank and calling out plaintively:
Alyonushka, my sister!
Swim out, swim out to the shore.
The fires are burning high,
Cast iron boilers are boiling,
Damask knives are sharpened,
They want to kill me!
And from the river they answer him:
Oh, my brother Ivanushka!
The heavy stone pulls to the bottom,
Silk grass has tangled my legs,
Yellow sands lay on my chest.
The servant ran home and told the merchant about what he had heard on the river. They gathered the people, went to the river, threw silk nets and pulled Alyonushka to the shore. They took the stone from her neck, dipped her in spring water, and dressed her in an elegant dress. Alyonushka came to life and became more beautiful than she was. And the little goat threw himself over his head three times with joy and turned into the boy Ivanushka. The witch was tied to a horse's tail and released into an open field.

Listen to a fairy tale Sister Alyonushka and brother Ivanushka online:
Once upon a time there lived a king and a queen, they had a son and a daughter, the son’s name was Ivanushka, and the daughter’s name was Alyonushka. So the king and queen died, the children were left alone, and they went to wander around the world.
They walked, walked, walked... they walked and saw a pond, and a herd of cows was grazing near the pond.
“I’m thirsty,” says Ivanushka.
“Don’t drink, brother, otherwise you’ll be a little calf,” says Alyonushka.
“Oh, sister, if you only knew how thirsty I am.”
“Don’t drink, brother, or you’ll turn into a foal.”
- Oh, sister, I’m terribly thirsty.
“Don’t drink, brother, or you’ll become a little lamb.”
- Oh, sister, I’ll get drunk; I'm terribly thirsty.
“Don’t drink, brother, or you’ll be a little pig.”
- Oh, sister, I'll get drunk.
“Don’t drink, brother, or you’ll be a little goat.”
He could not stand it and did not listen to his sister, got drunk and became a little goat, jumps in front of Alyonushka and shouts:
- Me-ke-ke! Me-ke-ke!
Alyonushka tied him with a silk belt and took him with her, but she herself was crying, crying bitterly...
The little goat ran and ran and once ran into the garden of one king. The people saw it and immediately reported to the king:
“We have, Your Royal Majesty, a little goat in the garden, and a girl is holding it on her belt, and she is such a beauty.”
The king ordered to ask who she was. So people ask her: where is she from and whose family-tribe?
“So and so,” says Alyonushka, “there was a king and a queen, but they died, and we, the children, remained: I am the princess, but here is my brother the prince.” He could not resist, drank some water and became a little goat.
The people reported all this to the king. The king called Alyonushka and asked about everything. He liked her, and the king wanted to marry her.
Soon they had a wedding and began to live for themselves, and the little goat walked with them in the garden, and drank and ate with the king and queen.
So the king went hunting. Meanwhile, a witch came and cast a spell on the queen: Alyonushka became sick, and so thin and pale. Everything in the royal courtyard became sad: the flowers in the garden began to wither, the trees began to dry out, and the grass began to fade.
The king returned and asked the queen:
- Why are you unwell?
“Yes, I’m sick,” says the queen.
The next day the king went hunting again. Alyonushka is lying sick; the witch comes to her and says:
- Do you want me to cure you? Go out to such and such a sea at such and such a dawn and drink the water there.
The queen obeyed and at dusk went to the sea, and the sorceress was already waiting, grabbed her, tied a stone around her neck and threw her into the sea. Alyonushka sank to the bottom, the little goat came running and cried bitterly. And the sorceress turned into a queen and went to the palace.
The king arrived and was glad that the queen was healthy again. They gathered it on the table and sat down to dinner.
-Where is the little goat? - asks the king.
“Don’t let him in,” says the witch, “I didn’t tell you to let him in—he smells like goat meat!”
The next day, as soon as the king left to go hunting, the little goat sorceress beat and beat and beat and beat and threatened him:
“When the king comes back, I’ll ask you to be killed.”
The king arrived, and the witch kept pestering him:
- Order and order the little goat to be slaughtered, I’m tired of him, completely disgusted!
The king felt sorry for the little goat, but there was nothing to do - she pestered so much, begged so much, that the king finally agreed and allowed him to be slaughtered.
The little goat sees: they have already begun to sharpen damask knives for him, he began to cry, ran to the king and asked:
The king let him in. So the little goat ran to the sea, stood on the shore and cried pitifully:
Alyonushka, my sister!
Swim out, swim out to the shore.
The fires are burning flammable,
The cauldrons are burning boiling,
Damask knives are sharpened,
They want to kill me!
She answers him:
Brother Ivanushka!
The heavy stone pulls to the bottom.
The fierce snake sucked out my heart!
The little goat cried and went back. In the middle of the day he again asks the king:
- Tsar! Let me go to the sea, drink some water, rinse my intestines.
The king let him in. So the little goat ran to the sea and cried pitifully:
Alyonushka, my sister!
Swim out, swim out to the shore.
The fires are burning flammable,
The cauldrons are burning boiling,
Damask knives are sharpened,
They want to kill me!
She answers him:
Brother Ivanushka!
The heavy stone pulls to the bottom.
The fierce snake sucked out my heart!
The little goat cried and returned home. The king thinks: what does it mean, the little goat keeps running around the sea? So the little goat asked for the third time:
- Tsar! Let me go to the sea, drink some water, rinse my intestines.
The king let him go and followed him himself; comes to the sea and hears the little goat calling his sister:
Alyonushka, my sister!
Swim out, swim out to the shore.
The fires are burning flammable,
The cauldrons are burning boiling,
Damask knives are sharpened,
They want to kill me!
She answers him:
Brother Ivanushka!
The heavy stone pulls to the bottom.
The fierce snake sucked out my heart!
The little goat again began to call his sister. Alyonushka floated up and appeared above the water. The king grabbed her, tore the stone from her neck and dragged Alyonushka to the shore, and asked: how did this happen? She told him everything. The king was delighted, and so was the little goat, and he was jumping around, everything in the garden was green and blooming.
And the king ordered the execution of the sorceress: they built a fire of wood in the yard and burned her. After that, the king, the queen and the little goat began to live and live well and make good things and continued to drink and eat together.
AND or, there was an old man and an old woman, they had a daughter Alyonushka and a son Ivanushka.
The old man and the old woman died. Alyonushka and Ivanushka were left alone.
Alyonushka went to work and took her brother with her. They are walking along a long path, across a wide field, and Ivanushka wants to drink.
- Sister Alyonushka, I’m thirsty!
- Wait, brother, we’ll get to the well.
As they walked and walked, the sun was high, the well was far away, the heat was oppressive, the sweat was protruding. A cow's hoof is full of water. Ivanushka says:
- Sister Alyonushka, I’ll take some bread from the hoof!
- Don’t drink, brother, you’ll turn into a calf from a hoof!
- Sister Alyonushka, I’ll drink from the hoof!
- Don’t drink, brother, you’ll turn into a foal from a hoof!
Ivanushka sighed, but there was nothing to do, they moved on. They walk and walk, the sun is high, the well is far away, the heat is oppressive, sweat appears. A goat's hoof is full of water.
Ivanushka again says to his sister:
- Sister Alyonushka, there is no urine for me: I’ll drink from the hoof!
- Don’t drink, brother, you’ll turn into a little goat from a hoof!
Ivanushka did not listen to his sister and drank from a goat’s hoof. Got drunk and became a little goat...
Alyonushka calls her brother, and instead of Ivanushka, a little white goat runs after her.
Alyonushka burst into bitter tears. She sat down on a haystack - she was crying, and the little goat was jumping around next to her.
At this time, a merchant was driving by and asked Alyonushka:
-What are you crying about, red maiden?
Alyonushka told him about her misfortune. The merchant says to her:
- Marry me. I will dress you in gold and silver, and the little goat will live with us.
Alyonushka thought, thought and married the merchant.
They began to live and live together, and the little goat lives with them, eats and drinks from the same cup with Alyonushka.
One day the merchant was not at home. Out of nowhere, a witch comes to the house: she stood under Alyonushka’s window and so affectionately began to call her to swim in the river.
The witch brought Alyonushka to the river. She pounced on her, tied a stone around Alyonushka’s neck and threw her into the water.
And she herself turned into Alyonushka, dressed up in her dress and came to her mansion. No one recognized the witch in this form. The merchant returned home - and he did not recognize him.
One little goat knew everything. He hung his head, does not eat, does not drink. Only in the morning and evening he walks along the bank near the water and calls:
- Alyonushka, my sister!
Swim out, swim out to my shore...
The witch found out about this and began to beg her husband: kill and slaughter the kid.
The merchant felt sorry for the little goat; he had gotten used to it during this time. And the witch pesters so much, begs so much. There is nothing to do, the merchant agreed:
- Well, kill him yourself...
The witch ordered to build high fires, heat cast iron cauldrons, and sharpen damask knives.
The little goat found out that he did not have long to live, and said to his father:
“Before I die, let me go to the river, drink some water, and rinse my intestines.”
