In a certain kingdom there lived a rich peasant, who had three sons-Simeon (a soldier), Tarras-Briukhan (fat man), and Ivan (a fool)-and one daughter, Milania, born dumb. Simeon went to war, to serve the Czar; Tarras went to a city and became a merchant; and Ivan, with his sister, remained at home to work on the farm.For his valiant service in the army, Simeon received an estate with high rank, and married a noble's daughter. Besides his large pay, he was in receipt of a handsome income from his estate; yet he was unable to make ends meet. What the husband saved, the wife wasted in extravagance. One day Simeon went to the estate to collect his income, when the steward informed him that there was no income, saying:"We have neither horses, cows, fishing-nets, nor implements; it is necessary first to buy everything, and then to look for income."
