There is a Karocharovo’s village in the sity Murom. In that village – the man Ilya Muromec sat for a long time.
One day his parents went to the field, and near Ilya’s gate stopped blind singers. They started to sing with their low voices. When singers sang the song, they knocked in the gate:
- Open the gate! Start up the cripple in the house!
But Ilya said:
- I can’t open the gate. I sit allready 30 and 3 years. I have no own not hands, not feet!
And singers all the:
- Rise! Get the kalika in the house!
Suddenly Ilya felt force in his hands and feet, so he rose and opened the gate. And singers gave him some drink, and force inflamed in Ilya. And singers said:
- You will be a great athlet. Buy a foal, put it in a stable for 3 months and feed him with millet.When three months passes, then three nights moves, take the foal in a garden and bath him in three dews.
With that they gone. And Ilya went to a field to root out oaks. His father and mother were surprised:
- That’s wonderful
They began to ask Ilya. He told everything to them.
And after that Ilya bought a foal and take care of him, like singers told. And soon foal grew and became a big horse.When Ilya Muromec saddle him, he said goodbye to his father and mother and went to another towns. His horse jumped.He runs as a falcon flies, over the rivers and lakes in one jump jumps, with his tail he sweeps fields. Ilya went on the cities and villages. He made a lot of feats. He rich the city Chernigolova and asked:
- Kind inhabitants show me the road, please.

There at a curve birch, at the small river Smorodinovka on the twelve oaks Nightingale - Robber sits.
From his whistle grass is tended, flowers are showered, a dark to the earth falls, and people asif fead.
Ilya grinned, and went that road which inhabitants showed. Ilia rich the small river Smorodinka, after that 12 oaks. Nightingale -Robber began to hiss like snake and roar like an animal.
