The creation of the opera began in 2000. Marusya sits by the window and dreams. He sees Fedot walking. Begins to quickly set the table for dinner.

Marusya
Tell me, why are you looking blue?
Does anything worry you?
Has the soup too little salt?
Has the beefsteak any fault?
Fedot
Dash! To eat I′m not willing,
It′s the Tsar again. The villain!
He will call me to account
For the task that he has given.
He′s s more ruthless than a foe!
He has ordered me to go
And find a deer, and he wants
A deer with golden horns!
Marusya
There′s no reason to be sad,
Things are not as bad as that.
I can help you.
The day has passed,
And the night will also pass.
And by morning we will settle everything
And cope with the king's taskь.
Stand before me, Frol and Tit,
Get immediately what we need!
(Marusya claps her hands, and two burly fellows appear in front of her.)
Do you hear what I say?
Go and do it without delay!
Frol and Tit
You don′t have to doubt us,
We have done it many times!
