The fatal disease chained to the emperor's bed. As it is conducted, someone was delighted, someone was upset as ahead waited for change. Doctors began to treat suffering, however, despite this the disease progressed.
Already not just days, months passed since doctors started treatment. The terrible emperor who conquered so many states, the people was absolutely powerless before this disease. And the powerlessness gave way to rage which, as we know, not the best adviser.
So, sounded the scary order in the morning – to all doctors who so without results treated the emperor - to behead. Of course, the heads chopped off and put along a city wall. Kilometers behind kilometers of a wall became white because of skulls.
The angry emperor called the faithful vizier:
- Where these doctors, vizier? Why more nobody treats me?
- Oh, my emperor! There is no doctor any more. You all chopped off the heads.
- How it is all? There are no doctors at all?
- Yes, my master! All doctors were unworthy, and in all state now there are no worthy doctors you at all.
There passed some more days, and the master of the vizier calls again:
- I considered your words, the vizier. What did you want to tell when you said that there is no worthy doctor me?
- My emperor, not so far from your palace lives only one survived doctor.
- And what? It cured though someone?
- That's just the point, my master that cured, and not one. However he has a huge shortcoming.
- Do not weary! Talk in what sense!
- He is a rude fellow! Terrible, ill-bred, disgusting! I tried to talk to it, my emperor, but as soon as it opened a mouth, I wanted to leave at once – so rough abuse was to me the answer! Besides, it is praised by everything that knows how to cure you, and it is inexcusable!
- And you were silent? Yes as you dared!
- Be not angry, my master, he is so ill-bred that you precisely would execute me for such doctor!
- I do not execute and only conduct it now here!
And here before eyes of the master the doctor rude fellow appeared.
- Tell, the doctor, - addressed him the emperor, - They say, you are able to treat?
But the doctor, impudently examining the master, was silent.
- Be not silent! Now answer!
Here the vizier interfered, having told that the mouth forbade the doctor to open.
The emperor exclaimed:
- Answer now, I order you! May you, the lekarishka to cure me?
- Not your mind business! You still can doubt that I will not be able to govern your state, here to you equal is not present. But why you try to understand what it is not adapted for at all? Yes in medicine you and the shoemaker – the same!
Furiously the emperor roared:
- The vizier, call guards! Cut to him the head! No! No! At first – on a stake! To pour the boiling oil! No to attach to four horses and to break off on four pieces!
Still not to storm to the emperor, so never to talk to him, and nobody dared.
The guards flew in a palace hall, immediately broke hands to the doctor and were already going to drag him to an exit when the doctor, having spat a floor, told:
- I am your last hope! Only I can cure you in one day and what to tell if more doctors are not present at all!
As the emperor was angry and he felt force in the words of the doctor, and at once cooled down.
- Guards to return the doctor! And you, the doctor, treat me! Begin, you have only one day!
The doctor grinned:
- You did not accept three of my conditions yet.
- Conditions???
The emperor hardly restrained not to order to behead the squirt.
- Speak! I will listen!
- The first – order to the servants to equip and put before an exit of your best racer and still – let will tie a small bag of gold to a saddle.
- What gold? Why to you? If you cure me, I you will shower with it! And not one horse I will present!
- If you want, you will send me following a caravan with gold, all in your will. For now execute what I tell.
Silently the emperor endured that again order him.
- Secondly, during treatment it is necessary to remove all from the palace.
- And this for what? Answer!
- Well, if you want to know, to you it can become very painful, and the servants should not see the emperor weak.
- And where the third condition?
- Order to servants not to be on pain of death on your call the whole hour.
- How it not to be on call? They have to do it!
- Have to, but here they can prevent me, and it is inadmissible.
And here the instant when the emperor chained to a bed and the doctor remained absolutely some in the palace came. The emperor haughtily ordered: "Begin!".
The doctor laughed:
- It is interesting what to begin? Now I will begin, but not that you think! Old you settled as you could believe that I am able to treat! Yes I am able to do nothing! You satisfied three of my conditions, and now I will execute three of my treasured desires. The first is to spit in your impudent, thick ugly face!
The doctor confirmed the desire with actions. When he spat in the face of the emperor, the terrible master under who legs had broken states earlier began to shake from feeling of helplessness. Blood flowed to the person, the emperor started turning the head. - Anything to! Do you still try to spin, an old dog? You should spit once again in a muzzle, a stub mouldering! That to you it became even worse, I will tell you the second dream – to pee on you, the emperor!
And already the doctor started execution of the second desire.
- Guards! To kill the villain! – the master howled, however immediately choked with urine. He tried to evade, but muscles already ceased to obey him therefore it was even heavy to twirl by the head. However he seized teeth a pillow, trying to be removed from a stream. The emperor fell under legs to the insulter, but now with rage tried though to bite him for an anklebone.
- Yes, absolutely dokhlyak. – the doctor laughed, kicking the emperor under an edge.
Pain pierced the emperor's body. He constrained effort of will groan, however pain helped it to remember that nearby there is a rack with its military weapon which became dusty many years. He, its dagger, now it will reach and will seize him, then will not seem to the offender a little!
- Oh, yes you still move, a stub? Then time for my third desire came!
When the emperor heard what was this desire, from his breast the animal roar escaped. Having made over itself titanic effort, the master of many people crept to the weapon.
- I will cut you, I need nobody! I will cut, I will kill!
But the villain already and the trace caught a cold. Having grabbed a saber, the emperor so felt empowered that managed to rise and on the shivering legs to go to the yard. Having grabbed by a bit of the first racer, the emperor hardly managed to get on it.
- Where did it jump? – the emperor cried by a loud voice.
However servants specified the direction only by a head nod as were afraid to say though some word.
The emperor rushed on a horse, however in a rage attack he did not even notice how every instant all new forces fill his body. He regained consciousness only when heard for himself enthusiastic shouts, thud of hoofs. Hundreds of his soldiers rushed behind it, having lifted the swords up. Shouts "Long live emperor!" were already everywhere.
And only then he realized that he is healthy.
When his soldiers, at last, caught up with the master, that so strongly and impetuously laughed loudly that it was impossible to understand anything. Through laughter reached only "son of a bitch" and "will receive the caravan".
