TALES OF THE FROG PRINCESS

In the old days, one king had three sons. So, when the sons became old, the king gathered them and said:

My dear sons, while I am still not old, I would like to marry you, look at your children, at my grandchildren.

Sons answer their father:

So, father, bless. Who would you like us to marry?

Here's what, sons, take an arrow, go out into the open field and shoot: where the arrows fall, there is your fate.

The sons bowed to their father, took an arrow, went out into the open field, pulled their bows and fired.

At the eldest son, the arrow fell on the boyar court, the boyar daughter raised the arrow. An arrow fell on the wide merchant's yard of the middle son, and the merchant's daughter picked it up.

And the youngest son, Ivap Tsarevich, had an arrow up and flew away, he did not know where. So he walked, walked, reached the swamp, he sees - a frog is sitting, picked up his arrow. Ivan Tsarevich says to her:

Frog, frog, give me my arrow.

And the frog answers him:

Marry me!

What are you, how can I marry a frog?

Take it - know your fate is like that.

Tsarevich Ivan twirled. Nothing to do, took the frog, brought home. The tsar played three weddings: he married his eldest son to a boyar's daughter, the middle one to a merchant's, and the unfortunate Ivan Tsarevich to a frog.

So the king called his sons:

I want to see which of your wives is the best needlewoman. Let them sew me a shirt by tomorrow.

The sons bowed to their father and left. Ivan Tsarevich comes home, sits down and hangs his head. The frog jumps on the floor, asks him:

What, Ivan Tsarevich, hung his head? Or grief?

Batiushka told you to sew a shirt for him by tomorrow.

The frog replies:

Do not grieve, Ivan Tsarevich, go to bed better, the morning is wiser than the evening.

Ivan Tsarevich went to bed, and the frog jumped onto the porch, threw off the frog skin and turned into Vasilisa the Wise, such a beauty that you can’t tell in a fairy tale.

Vasilisa the Wise clapped her hands and shouted:

Moms, nannies, get ready, get ready! Sew me by the morning such a shirt as I saw at my dear father.

Ivan Tsarevich woke up in the morning, the frog was jumping again on the floor, and already the shirt was lying on the table, wrapped in a towel. Ivan Tsarevich was delighted, took the shirt and carried it to his father. The king at that time was accepting gifts from his larger sons. The eldest son unfolded his shirt, the king accepted it and said:

Wear this shirt in a black hut.

The middle son unfolded his shirt, the king said:

In it, only go to the bath.

Ivan Tsarevich unfolded his shirt, adorned with gold and silver, with cunning patterns. The king just looked

Well, this is a shirt - to wear it on a holiday.

The brothers went home - those two - and they judge among themselves:

No, apparently, we were in vain laughing at the wife of Ivan Tsarevich: she is not a frog, but some kind of cunning ...

The king called his sons again:

Let your wives bake bread for me by tomorrow. I want to know which cooks better.

Ivan Tsarevich hung his head, came home. The frog asks him:

What's twisted?

He answers:

We must bake bread for the king by tomorrow.

Do not grieve, Ivan Tsarevich, better go to bed, the morning is wiser than the evening.

And those daughters-in-law at first laughed at the frog, and now they sent one old backyard grandmother to see how the frog would bake bread.

The frog is cunning, she realized it. She kneaded the sourdough, broke the stove from above and right there, into the hole, the whole sourdough and overturned it. The backyard grandmother ran to the royal daughters-in-law, told everything, and they began to do the same.

And the frog jumped onto the porch, turned into Vasilisa the Wise, clapped her hands:

Moms, nannies, get ready, get ready! Bake me in the morning soft white bread3 like I ate at my dear father.

Ivan Tsarevich woke up in the morning, and already on the table lies bread, decorated with various tricks: printed patterns on the sides, cities with gates on top.

Ivan Tsarevich was delighted, wrapped the bread in his fly, carried it to his father. And the king at that time accepted bread from his big sons. Their wives put the dough into the oven, as the backyard grandmother told them, and all they got out was burnt mud. The king accepted the bread from his eldest son, looked at it and sent it to the servants' room. Received from the middle son and sent it there. And as Ivan Tsarevich filed, the tsar said:

This is bread, only eat it on a holiday.

And the king ordered his three sons to come to him tomorrow for a feast together with their wives.

Again Tsarevich Ivan returned home unhappy, hung his head below his shoulders.

The frog jumps on the floor:

Kva, kva, Ivan Tsarevich, why are you spinning? Or did you hear an unfriendly word from the priest?

Frog, frog, how can I not grieve! Father ordered me to come with you to the feast, but how can I show you to people?

The frog replies:

Do not grieve, Prince Iwai, go to the feast alone, and I will follow you. When you hear a knock and thunder, do not be afraid. They will ask you, say: "This is my frog in a box."

Ivan Tsarevich went alone. Here the older brothers arrived with their wives, dressed up, undressed, rouged, sullen. They stand and laugh at Ivan Tsarevich:

Why did you come without a wife? At least bring it in a handkerchief. Where did you find such a beauty? Tea, all the swamps came out.

The king with his sons, with his daughters-in-law, with the guests sat down at the oak tables, feasted at the tablecloths. Suddenly there was a knock and thunder, the whole palace shook. The guests were frightened, jumped up from their seats, and Ivan Tsarevich said:

Do not be afraid, honest guests: this is my little frog in a box.

A gilded carriage with six white horses flew up to the royal porch, and Vasilisa the Wise came out of there: frequent stars on an azure dress, a clear moon on her head, such a beauty - neither think nor guess, only tell in a fairy tale. She takes Ivan Tsarevich by the hand and leads him to the oak tables, to the linen tablecloths.

The guests began to eat, drink, and have fun. Vasilisa the Wise drank from the glass and poured out the last of her left sleeve. She took a bite of a swan and threw the bones behind her right sleeve.

The wives of the great princes saw her tricks and let's do the same.

They drank, ate, it was the turn to dance. Vasilisa the Wise picked up Ivan Tsarevich and went. Already she danced, danced, twirled, twirled - to everyone's wonder. She waved her left sleeve - suddenly there was a lake, she waved her right sleeve - white swans swam across the lake. The king and guests were amazed.

And the older daughters-in-law went to dance: they waved their sleeves - they only splashed the guests, they waved to others - only the bones scattered, one bone hit the king in the eye. The king became angry and sent both daughters-in-law away.

At that time, Ivan Tsarevich went away and quietly ran home, found a frog skin there and threw it into the oven, burned it on fire.

Vasilisa the Wise returns home, missed - there is no frog skin. She sat down on a bench, became sad, depressed, and said to Ivan Tsarevich:

Ah, Ivan Tsarevich, what have you done! If you had only waited three more days, I would have been yours forever. Now goodbye. Look for me at distant lands, in the three-tenth kingdom, at Koshchei the Deathless ...

Vasilisa the Wise turned into a gray cuckoo and flew out the window. Ivan Tsarevich wept, wept, bowed to four sides and went wherever his eyes looked - to look for his wife, Vasilisa the Wise. He walked close, far, long, short, he carried his boots, he wore out his caftan, the rain dried up his hat. He comes across an old man.

Hello, good fellow! What are you looking for, where are you going?

Ivan Tsarevich told him about his misfortune. The old man says to him:

Eh, Ivan Tsarevich, why did you burn the frog's skin? You didn't put it on, you didn't have to take it off. Vasilisa the Wise was born wiser, wiser than her father. He got angry at her for that and ordered her to be a frog for three years. Well, there’s nothing to do, here’s a ball for you: wherever it rolls, go there and boldly follow it.

Ivan Tsarevich thanked the old man and went for the ball. The ball rolls, he follows him. In an open field he comes across a bear. Ivan Tsarevich set his sights, he wants to kill the beast. And the bear says to him in a human voice:

Do not beat me, Ivan Tsarevich, someday I will come in handy for you.

Ivan Tsarevich took pity on the bear, did not shoot him, and went on. Look, a drake flies over him. He took aim, and the drake tells him in a human voice:

Do not beat me, Ivan Tsarevich, I will be useful to you.

Do not kill me, Ivan Tsarevich, I will be useful to you.

Ah, Ivan Tsarevich, have pity on me, throw me into the blue sea!

Hut, hut, stand in the old way, as mother put: back to the forest, front to me.

The hut turned its front to him, its back to the forest. Ivan Tsarevich went up into it and saw: on the stove, on the ninth brick, lies Baba Yaga's bone leg, her teeth are on a shelf, and her nose has grown into the ceiling. - Why, good fellow, came to me? Baba Yaga tells him. - Are you trying the case or are you whining from the case?

Ivan Tsarevich answers her:

Oh, you old grunt, you should have given me a drink, fed me, boiled me in a bath, then you would have asked.

Baba Yaga evaporated him in the bath, gave him drink, fed him, put him to bed, and Ivan Tsarevich told her that he was looking for his wife, Vasilisa the Wise.

I know, I know, - the Baba Yaga tells him, - your wife is now with Koshchei the Immortal. It will be difficult to get it, it is not easy to deal with Koshchei: his death is at the end of the needle, that needle is in the egg, the egg is in the duck, the duck is in the hare, that hare is sitting in a stone chest, and the chest is on a tall oak, and that oak of Koschei the Immortal, like save your eye.

Ivan Tsarevich spent the night with the Baba Yaga, and in the morning she showed him where the tall oak grows. How long, how short, did Ivan Tsarevich get there, he sees: he is standing, rustling a tall oak, on it is a stone chest, but it is difficult to get it.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a bear came running and uprooted the oak. The chest fell and broke. A hare jumped out of the chest - and ran away at full speed. And another hare is chasing him, overtook him and tore him to shreds. And a duck flew out of the hare, rose high, under the very sky. Look, a drake rushed at her, as soon as it hit her - the duck dropped the egg, the egg fell into the blue sea ...

Then Ivan Tsarevich burst into bitter tears - where can one find an egg in the sea! .. Suddenly a pike swims up to the shore and holds the egg in its teeth. Ivan Tsarevich broke an egg, took out a needle and let's break the end of it. He breaks, and Koschey the Deathless beats, rushes about. No matter how much Koshchei fought and rushed about, Ivan Tsarevich broke the end of the needle, Koshchei had to die.

Ivan Tsarevich went to the white-stone Koshcheev chambers. Vasilisa the Wise ran out to him and kissed him on the sugary lips. Ivan Tsarevich and Vasilisa the Wise returned home and lived happily ever after until old age.

In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a king, and he had three sons. The youngest was named Ivan Tsarevich.

Once the king called his sons and said to them:

My dear children, now you are all old, it's time for you to think about brides!

For whom, father, should we woo?

And you take an arrow, pull your tight bows and shoot arrows at different sides. Where the arrow falls - there and woo.

The brothers came out into the wide father's yard, pulled their tight bows and fired.

The elder brother fired an arrow. An arrow fell on the boyar court, and the boyar daughter raised it.

The middle brother shot an arrow - an arrow flew to a rich merchant in the yard. The merchant's daughter raised her.

Ivan Tsarevich fired an arrow - his arrow flew straight into the swampy swamp, and the frog frog raised it ...

As the older brothers went to look for their arrows, they immediately found them: one - in the boyar's chamber, the other - in the merchant's yard. And Ivan Tsarevich could not find his arrow for a long time. For two days he walked through the forests and mountains, and on the third day he went into a marshy swamp. He looks - a frog is sitting there, holding his arrow.

Ivan Tsarevich wanted to run away and retreat from his find, and the frog says:

Kwa-kva, Ivan Tsarevich! Come to me, take your arrow, and marry me.

Ivan Tsarevich was saddened and answered:

How can I marry you? People will laugh at me!

Take it, Ivan Tsarevich, you won't regret it!

Ivan Tsarevich thought and thought, took the frog, wrapped it in a handkerchief and brought it to his kingdom-state.

The elder brothers came to the father, they tell where whose arrow hit.

Ivan Tsarevich also spoke. The brothers began to laugh at him, and his father said:

Take the wah, there's nothing you can do!

Here they played three weddings, the princes got married: the elder prince - on a hawthorn tree, the middle one - on a merchant's daughter, and Ivan Tsarevich - on a frog.

The next day after the wedding, the king called his sons and said:

Well, my dear sons, now all three of you are married. I would like to know if your wives know how to bake bread. Let them bake me a loaf of bread by morning.

The princes bowed to their father and left. Ivan Tsarevich returned to his chambers, unhappy, hanging his head below his shoulders.

Kwa-kva, Ivan Tsarevich, - says the frog, - why are you so sad? Or did you hear an unkind word from your father?

How can I not be sad! - answers Ivan Tsarevich. - My father ordered that you yourself bake a loaf of bread by morning ...

The frog put the prince to sleep, and she herself threw off her frog skin and turned into a red maiden Vasilisa the Wise - such a beauty that she can’t tell in a fairy tale or describe with a pen!

She took frequent sieves, fine sieves, sifted wheat flour, kneaded white dough, baked a loaf - loose and soft, decorated the loaf with various tricky patterns: on the sides - cities with palaces, gardens and towers, flying birds on top, roaring animals below ...

In the morning, Ivan Tsarevich's frog wakes up:

It's time, Ivan Tsarevich, get up, carry the loaf!

She put the loaf on a golden dish, accompanied Ivan Tsarevich to his father.

The elder brothers also came, brought their loaves, only they had nothing to look at: the bread of the boyar's daughter was burnt, the merchant's - raw and lopsided turned out.

The king first accepted the loaf from the senior prince, looked at it and ordered it to be taken to the dogs of the yard.

He took it from the middle one, looked and said:

You will eat such a loaf only from great need!

The turn came to Ivan Tsarevich. The king received a loaf from him and said:

This bread is only on big holidays!

And then he gave his sons a new order:

I would like to know how your wives know how to needlework. Take silk, gold and silver, and let them weave my carpet with their own hands overnight!

The senior princes returned to their wives, gave them the royal order. Wives began to call mothers, nannies and red girls - to help them weave carpets. Immediately mothers, nannies and red girls gathered and began to weave and embroider carpets - some with silver, some with gold, some with silk.

And Ivan Tsarevich returned home unhappy, hung his head below his shoulders.

Kwa-kva, Ivan Tsarevich, - says the frog, - why are you so sad? Or did he hear an unkind word from his father?

How can I not freak out! - answers Ivan Tsarevich. - Father ordered to weave a patterned carpet for him in one night!

Do not grieve, Ivan Tsarevich! Go to bed better sleep-rest: the morning is wiser than the evening!

The frog put him to bed, and she herself threw off her frog skin, turned into a red maiden Vasilisa the Wise and began to weave a carpet. Where it pricks with a needle once - the flower will bloom, where it pricks another time - cunning patterns go, where it pricks the third - birds fly ...

The sun has not risen yet, but the carpet is ready.

So all three brothers came to the king, each brought his own carpet. The king first took the carpet from the senior prince, looked and said:

With this carpet only to cover the horses from the rain!

Took from the middle, looked and said:

Only lay it at the gate!

Received from Ivan Tsarevich, looked and said:

But this carpet in my room on big holidays to spread!

And immediately the king gave a new order for all three princes to come to him for a feast with their wives: the king wants to see which of them dances better.

The princes went to their wives.

Ivan Tsarevich is walking, he is sad, he himself thinks: How can I lead my frog to the royal feast? ..

He came home unhappy. The wah asks him:

What again, Ivan Tsarevich, is sad, below his shoulders he hung his wild head? What did you worry about?

How can I not be sad! - says Ivan Tsarevich. - Father ordered me to bring you to his feast tomorrow ...

Do not grieve, Ivan Tsarevich! Lie down and sleep: the morning is wiser than the evening!

The next day, when it was time to go to the feast, the frog said to the prince:

Well, Ivan Tsarevich, go alone to the royal feast, and I will follow you. When you hear a knock and thunder - do not be afraid, say: This, apparently, is my frog in a box!

Ivan Tsarevich went to the tsar alone for a feast.

And the older brothers came to the palace with their wives, dressed up, undressed. They stand and laugh at Ivan Tsarevich:

Why did you, brother, come without a wife? If only he had brought her in a handkerchief, he would have let us all listen to her croaking!

Suddenly there was a knock and thunder - the whole palace shook and staggered. All the guests were alarmed, jumped up from their seats. Ivan Tsarevich says:

Fear not, dear guests! This, apparently, is my frog in his little box!

Everyone ran up to the windows and saw: fast walkers were running, messengers were jumping, and after them a gilded carriage was riding, harnessed by a trio of bay horses.

The carriage drove up to the porch, and Vasilisa the Wise got out of it - she herself shines like a clear sun.

Everyone marvels at her, admires her, they cannot utter a word from surprise.

Vasilisa the Wise took Ivan Tsarevich by the hands and led her to the oak tables, to the patterned tablecloths ...

The guests began to eat, drink, and have fun.

Vasilisa the Wise drinks from the goblet - does not finish her drink, pours the rest into her left sleeve. He eats a fried swan - he throws bones for his right sleeve.

The wives of the senior princes saw this - and there too: what they don’t finish drinking, they pour into their sleeve, what they don’t finish eating, they put it in another. And why, why - that they themselves do not know.

As the guests got up from the table, music began to play, dancing began. Vasilisa the Wise went to dance with Ivan Tsarevich. She waved her left sleeve - the lake became, waved her right - white swans swam across the lake. The king and all the guests were amazed. And as soon as she stopped dancing, everything disappeared: the lake and the swans.

The wives of the elder princes went to dance.

How they waved their left sleeves - they splashed all the guests; how they waved their right ones - they showered them with stubs of bones, they almost knocked out the tsar himself with a bone. The king got angry and ordered them to be driven out of the room.

When the feast was running out, Ivan Tsarevich seized a moment and ran home. He found frog skin and burned it on fire.

Vasilisa the Wise came home, missed - no frog skin! She rushed to look for her. She searched, searched - she did not find it and said to Ivan Tsarevich:

Ah, Ivan Tsarevich, what have you done! If you had waited three more days, I would have been yours forever. And now goodbye, look for me at distant lands, at distant seas, in the kingdom of the thirtieth, in the sunflower state, at Koshchei the Immortal. How you wear out three pairs of iron boots, how you gnaw through three iron loaves - only then will you find me ...

She said she turned into a white swan and flew out the window.

Tsarevich Ivan was lit up. He equipped himself, took a bow and arrows, put on iron boots, put three iron loaves in his shoulder bag and went to look for his wife, Vasilisa the Wise.

Whether he walked for a long time, whether it was short, whether it was close, whether it was far - soon the fairy tale is told, but not soon the deed is done - he wore out two pairs of iron boots, gnawed two iron loaves, set to work on the third. And then he met an old man.

Hello grandfather! - says Ivan Tsarevich.

Hello, good fellow! What are you looking for, where are you going?

Ivan Tsarevich told the old man his grief.

Eh, Ivan Tsarevich, - says the old man, - why did you burn the frog's skin? You didn’t put it on, it wasn’t for you to take it off! Vasilisa the Wise, wiser than her father, Koshchei the Immortal, was born, he was angry with her for that and ordered her to be a frog for three years. Well, yes, there is nothing to do, you can’t fix the trouble with words. Here's a ball for you: wherever it rolls, go there too.

Ivan Tsarevich thanked the old man and went for the ball.

The ball rolls on high mountains, rolling on dark woods, rolling through green meadows, rolling through swampy swamps, rolling through deaf places, and Ivan Tsarevich keeps going and following him - he will not stop to rest for an hour.

Walked, walked, wore out the third pair of iron boots, gnawed the third iron bread and came to a dense forest. A bear comes across him.

Let me kill the bear! - thinks Ivan Tsarevich. “Because I don’t have any more food.

He took aim, and the bear suddenly said to him in a human voice:

Don't kill me, Ivan Tsarevich! Someday I'll be nice to you.

Ivan Tsarevich did not touch the bear, regretted it, and went on.

He walks through a clean field, looking - and a large drake flies over him.

Ivan Tsarevich pulled his bow, he was about to shoot a sharp arrow at the drake, and the drake says to him like a human:

Don't kill me, Ivan Tsarevich! There will be time - I will be useful to you.

Tsarevich Ivan took pity on the drake - he did not touch him, he went on hungry.

Suddenly a slanting hare runs towards him.

I'll kill that rabbit! - thinks the prince. - I really want to eat ...

He pulled on his tight bow, began to aim, and the hare said to him in a human voice:

Do not destroy me, Ivan Tsarevich! There will be time - I will be useful to you.

He went out to the blue sea and sees: on the shore, on the yellow sand, lies a pike-fish. Ivan Tsarevich says:

Well, now eat this pike! My urine is no more - I want to eat so much!

Ah, Ivan Tsarevich, - said the pike, - have pity on me, do not eat me, throw me into the blue sea!

Ivan Tsarevich took pity on the pike, threw it into the sea, and he himself went along the shore for his ball.

How long, how short - a ball rolled into the forest, to the hut. That hut stands on chicken legs, turns around itself. Ivan Tsarevich says:

Hut, hut, turn your back to the forest, front to me!

The hut, at his word, turned its back to the forest, and its front to him. Ivan Tsarevich entered the hut and sees: a baba-yaga is lying on the stove - a bone leg. She saw the prince and said:

Why did you come to me, good fellow? Willingly or unwillingly?

Ah, Baba Yaga - a bone leg, you would feed me first, give me a drink and evaporate in a bathhouse, then you would have asked me questions!

And that's true! Baba Yaga answers.

She fed Ivan Tsarevich, gave him a drink, evaporated it in the bath, and the prince told her that he was looking for his wife, Vasilisa the Wise.

I know I know! Baba Yaga says. - She is now with the villain Koshchei the Immortal. It will be difficult to get it, it is not easy to cope with Koshchei: you cannot kill him with an arrow or a bullet. That is why he is not afraid of anyone.

Where is his death?

His death is at the end of a needle, that needle is in an egg, that egg is in a duck, that duck is in a hare, that hare is in a wrought-iron box, and that box is on top of an old oak tree. And that oak grows in a dense forest.

Baba Yaga told Ivan Tsarevich how to get to that oak tree. The prince thanked her and left.

For a long time he made his way through the dense forests, in the swamps of the swamp elm, and finally came to the Koshcheev oak. That oak tree stands, its top rests against the clouds, its roots are spread a hundred miles in the ground, the red sun is covered with branches. And at its very top is a forged casket.

Ivan Tsarevich looks at the oak and does not know what to do, how to get the casket.

Eh, he thinks, is there a bear somewhere? He would help me!

Just thought, and the bear is right there: he ran and uprooted the oak tree with roots. The casket fell from the top and broke into small pieces.

A hare jumped out of the casket and took off running.

Where is my rabbit? - thinks the prince. - He would certainly catch up with this hare ...

I didn’t have time to think, but the hare was right there: he caught up with another hare, grabbed it and tore it in half. A duck flew out of that hare and rose high, high into the sky.

Where is my drake? - thinks the prince.

And the drake flies after the duck - it pecks right at the head. The duck dropped an egg, and that egg fell into the blue sea ...

Ivan Tsarevich was grieving, standing on the shore and saying:

Where is my pike? She would get me an egg from the bottom of the sea!

Suddenly a pike-fish swims up to the shore and holds an egg in its teeth.

Get it, Ivan Tsarevich!

The prince was delighted, broke the egg, took out the needle and broke off the tip of it. And he just broke it off - Koschey the Deathless died, crumbled to dust.

Ivan Tsarevich went to the Koshcheev chambers. Vasilisa the Wise came out to him and said:

Well, Ivan Tsarevich, you managed to find me, now I will be yours all my life!

Ivan Tsarevich chose the best horse from the Koshcheev stable, sat on it with Vasilisa the Wise and returned to his kingdom-state.

And they began to live together, in love and harmony.

In Russian folk tale main character – younger son Tsar Ivan. The tale begins with the fact that the king decided to marry his three sons, and the sons had to choose wives for themselves in an unusual way. Each of them fired an arrow from a bow. Where the arrow fell, there you should look for your wife. The arrows of two older brothers hit the boyar, and the merchant's yard. They also found their wives there. And at Ivan Tsarevich, the arrow flew into the swamp, and there the frog picked it up.

Ivan had to marry a frog. The brothers laughed at him, but this did not last long. The king gave the task - to sew shirts for all his wives in one night. When the saddened Ivan Tsarevich told his wife about the task, she advised him to go to bed, and she threw off her frog skin and turned into Vasilisa the Wise. The next morning the shirt was ready, and delighted Ivan took her to the palace, to his father. The Tsar liked the shirt he brought more than others.

The king gave the second task - to bake bread for him. And again the frog turned into Vasilisa the Wise, and took up bread. The next morning, the king again liked her bread best of all. He ordered his sons to come to the royal feast together with their wives. Ivan became sad again - how will he appear with a frog at the feast? And his wife told him not to be sad, to go to the feast alone, and she would appear later.

As soon as the guests at the feast sat down at the table, there was a noise and a roar, a carriage drove up and Vasilisa the Wise got out of it, and struck everyone with her beauty. At the feast, she showed miracles - she created a lake, and swans swam in it. And Ivan seized the moment, went home and burned the frog skin.

But Vasilisa the Wise, having learned about this, was very upset and told Ivan Tsarevich that now they would have to look for her at Koshchei the Immortal. She turned into a cuckoo and flew away.

Ivan had to long way going to. He walked for a long time and met a man who gave him a magic ball. Wherever the ball rolls, you have to go there.

On the way, Ivan Tsarevich met a bear, wanted to kill him, but the bear asked him for mercy and said that he would come in handy. Later, Ivan met a drake, a hare and a pike, and he also spared them, did not kill them.

He came across the hut of Baba Yaga. She told him how to defeat Koshchei. It turns out that Koshchei's death was hidden in a chest on a tall oak. Ivan Tsarevich went to look for this oak. And as he found, here the animals were useful to him. The bear knocked down the oak, the chest was broken. A hare jumped out of it, but another hare caught up with him. Then the duck flew out of the hare, but the drake intercepted it. That duck released an egg, it fell into the sea. But the pike found the egg and brought it to Ivan. Ivan Tsarevich broke the egg, took out a needle from it and broke off the tip of it. Here and Koshchei the end came. And Ivan found Vasilisa the Wise in Koshchei's palace, and returned home with her.

Takovo summary fairy tales.

The main meaning of the fairy tale "The Frog Princess" is that one must be able to stand up for one's own. How? Ivan got rid of the hated frog skin ahead of time - thereby making a mistake. His wife was forced to return to Koshchei the Deathless. But Ivan showed firmness, managed to stand up for his own - and achieved a positive result - he returned Vasilisa the Wise. The fairy tale teaches to act in concert, by mutual agreement, and not to commit rash acts.

The fairy tale "The Frog Princess" teaches us to achieve our goal. Made a mistake - fix it! The tale teaches to show participation and mercy to others. Ivan Tsarevich did not destroy the animals, and they repaid him kindly, helping to cope with Koshchei.

I liked Baba Yaga in this story. Unlike other fairy tales with her participation, here Baba Yaga not only did no harm to anyone, but also provided an invaluable service to the main character - she told him how to defeat Koshchei the Deathless.
