Ilya Muromets, prolog

In the city of Murom lived Ivan and Efrosinya, a husband and a wife. They had a son, Ilya. For nearly thirty years he suffered from an illness - he could not move his arms or legs. The war began. Three old men passing by the house, looking for soldiers, cured Ilya and rewarded him with bogatyr force. In gratitude to them, Ilya of Murom went to war.
