he crossed the bridge, his twenty kopecks fell into the river. He jumped into the river at once. Without stopping to think of his own safety, he plunged down to save the drowning kopeck. He swam up and down but did not find his money.

      The fellow reached home tired and wet. When his mother saw him in that condition, she began to cry and beat on her knees. The fellow told her everything what happened. When she heard it, she said:

      The king got old. He used to ride horse, win the fights and occupy lands with his sword in his youth. He had boundless land, mighty army and countless riches. His glory was widespread in the world. He wished to live in peace last years of his life. But he was disturbed by the gossips about the king of the neighboring kingdom which were spread wide in the palace. The enemy was young but wise, courageous and purposeful. Progress was on his side.
