Wonderful bell

An evil stepmother sent an adopted daughter out of sight. She ordered to sit in the forest until she spun the whole cart of wool. Masha got into the dugout to the bear. I tidied up in the upper room, cooked dinner, fed my mouse. The master came in the evening. He liked how the girl handled the affairs. During the night they kept all the wool with the mouse, and in the morning they sent Masha home with rich gifts.

The stepmother was envious of the unexpected gifts and sent her own daughter, Lushu, to the forest. She did the opposite. The room made a mess and the bear with the mouse naderzila. She demanded to fill the cart with furs, and silver and gold. I went home, but along the way the horses, turning into owls, flew away, and all her wealth turned into a bunch of shards.
