A bit scared Stepan, because the old people talked, meeting with the Mistress of Copper Mountain can not end very joyfully. But then she herself spoke to him, said to come.

He approached the girl and saw, around her run multi-colored lizards: gold, green, blue, some even with patterns. She clapped her hands, and the lizards all got lost near her feet and turned into a well polished floor of copper ore.

Then the Mistress of the Copper Mountain says to Stepan: "We must tell the factory clerk to get out of the Krasnogorsk mine, otherwise it will be bad." She clapped her hands, the ore again turned into lizards, and then the girl herself also. She ran up to the top of the mountain and from there shouted to the guy that if he says how she asks, then she will marry him.

Stepan carries out the Mistress's order, what has come of it

The guy thinks about what to do now. Decided to do as the girl asked. He came up the next day at the factory (where he worked) to the clerk and gave what the Mistress of the Copper Mountain had ordered. He was amazed at such boldness, did not believe Stepan, and told him to cut it. The young man was chained to a long chain and ordered to work in the face.

They gave the guy a task - to get a lot of malachite and identified in an unpromising tunnel, where almost no expensive stones come across. Even there it was wet and damp. To Stepan did not die of hunger, the chief ordered to give him a bowl of dog porridge.

So the young man would have been in these terrible conditions if he had not come to the rescue of the Copper Mountain Mistress.

Horomy under the mountain

Here is an interesting story, based on ancient stories, invented by PP. Bazhov. The mistress of the Copper Mountain led the boy into his palace. Under the ground, as if large rooms are located. The walls are cast in different colors, just like the girl's dress. That was changing just before our eyes. At first it was like from malachite, then it began to be cast with glass. After that, it was covered with diamond crumbs.

The guest and the hostess went into a very spacious room. There is also a bed, a table, stools. They sat down, the girl and asked how now about the marriage. After all, she promised to give her hand and heart, if the guy will give the clerk her words. But the young man could not marry the Mistress. He told the one that he has a bride - orphan Nastya. This is further narrated by Bazhov. The mistress of the Copper Mountain seemed to rejoice that Stepan had not exchanged his Nastenka for her - a stone maid.

For this, the girl awarded him, gave him a casket with rings and earrings for the bride. Then the Mistress fed him and indicated the way back.

Stones

The youth returned to the gallery, and there already lizards had much malachite for him. They again adjusted the chain, as if the guy did not go anywhere. The clerk was amazed when he saw how much Stepan had extracted malachite, gave this adit to his nephew, and sent the young man into a bad slaughter. But even there the guy managed to get a lot of malachite, because he was invisibly helped by a magical girl.

Then they ordered Stepan to find a huge block of malachite and promised for it free. After all, serfdom was still at that time. The guy found the lump, but he was not given the will. I heard about the whole gentleman, came, gave the guy an honest noble word to give free, if he finds the malachite stones, from which you can cut down the pillars of at least five sazhen. The young man said that he would try to get such, but first let the master write to him and Nastya's bride free. On that and have solved

What ended the story

"Summary", "Bazhov" - these two paragraphs are, respectively, in the fourth and second columns of the readers' diary. If the teacher says to include here and reviews, you can write them in the fifth column, leaving for him a little space.

The story ends on a not very joyful note. Nastenka and Stepan got free, married. The young man built the house, it seems everything was fine, but Stepan Petrovich became gloomy, melting right before our eyes.

He took a gun and went hunting. But his way invariably lay to Red Mountain, and from the hunting man returned with empty hands. Somehow he also left in the autumn and did not return. They began to search, found the lifeless in the mine, he lay motionless and seemed to smile.

Someone said that next to him I saw a very large green lizard. Most likely, it was the Copper Mountain Mistress.

Summary, reviews

She did not bring happiness to Stepan's meeting with the magic girl. It is not without reason that in the last lines the author says that if a bad person meets her, he will be grieved, and there is not much joy in this. This concludes both the tale and the summary of the work.

If you listen to the reviews about this story, it becomes clear what is hidden behind the image of the main character. It was transformed into a lizard, since it is this reptile that is mentioned in the folk tales of that locality.
