When he brought them to Little Ivan, the Czar said to his father—

“Yes, father, you turned me away from your house, and I therefore bring

you to mine. Come, live with me, you and my mother, till the end of your

days.”

Abrosim and Fetinia rejoiced exceedingly to find that their son was

become Czar, and they lived with him many years, until they died.

Little Ivan ruled for thirty years in good health, and was very happy,

and all his people loved him sincerely to the last hour of his life.
