The king and queen said goodbye,
Equipped on the road,
And the queen at the window
She sat down to wait for him alone.
Waiting, waiting from morning to night,
Looks in the field, indus eyes
Get sick looking
From the white dawn to the night;
Don't see my dear friend!
He only sees: a blizzard is winding,
Snow falls on the fields
All white land.
Nine months go by
She does not take her eyes off the field.
Here on Christmas Eve, on the very night
God gives the queen a daughter.
Welcome guest early in the morning
Day and night so long awaited
From afar at last
The king-father returned.
She looked at him
She sighed heavily
Admiration did not bear
And died by noon.

For a long time the king was inconsolable,
But how to be? and he was sinful;
The year has passed like an empty dream,
The king married another.
Tell the truth, young lady
Indeed, there was a queen:
tall, thin, white,
And she took it with her mind and everything;
But proud, broken,
Selfish and jealous.

She was given as a dowry
There was only one mirror;
The mirror property had:
It speaks skillfully.
She was alone with him
Good-natured, cheerful
joked with him
And, blushing, she said:
“My light, mirror! Tell
Yes, tell the whole truth:
Am I the sweetest in the world,
All blush and whiter?
And a mirror in response to her:
“You, of course, no doubt;
You, queen, are sweeter than all,
All blush and whiter.
And the queen laugh
And shrug your shoulders
And wink your eyes
And snap your fingers
And spin around,
Proudly looking in the mirror.

But the young princess
blooming silently,
Meanwhile, she grew, grew,
Rose and bloomed
White-faced, black-browed,
I like such a meek one.
And the groom was found by her,
Prince Elisha.

The matchmaker arrived, the king gave his word,
And the dowry is ready:
Seven trading cities
Yes, one hundred and forty towers.
Going to a bachelorette party
Here is the queen dressing up
In front of your mirror
Chatted with him:
All blush and whiter?
What is the mirror in response?
“You are beautiful, no doubt;
But the princess is sweeter than all,
All blush and whiter.
How the queen jumps
Yes, how to wave the handle,
Yes, as it slams on the mirror,
With a heel, how it will stomp! ..
“Oh, you vile glass!
You're lying to me for evil.
How can she compete with me?
I will calm the foolishness in it.
Look how grown up!
And it's no wonder that it's white:
Mother belly sat
Yes, I just looked at the snow!
But tell me how can she
To be nicer to me in everything?
Admit it: I'm more beautiful than everyone.
Go around our whole kingdom,
Though the whole world; I don't have an even one.
Is not it?" Mirror in response:
“And the princess is still nicer,
Everything is blusher and whiter.

Nothing to do. She,
Full of black envy
Throwing a mirror under the bench,
Called Chernavka to her
And punish her
To his hay girl,
The message of the princess in the wilderness of the forest
And, tying her alive
Under the pine tree leave there
To be eaten by wolves.

Does the devil cope with an angry woman?
There is nothing to argue. With the princess
Here Chernavka went to the forest
And brought me so far
What did the princess think?
And scared to death
And she prayed: “My life!
What, tell me, am I guilty of?
Don't kill me girl!
And how will I be a queen,
I pity you."
The one who loves her in my heart,
Didn't kill, didn't bind
She let go and said:
"Don't freak out, God bless you."
And she came home.

"What? the queen said to her,
Where is the beautiful girl?
- There, in the forest, stands alone, -
She answers her. -
Her elbows are tightly bound;
Caught in the claws of the beast
She will be less patient
It will be easier to die.
And the rumor began to ring:
The royal daughter is missing!
The poor king is grieving for her.
Prince Elisha,
Praying earnestly to God,
Set off on the road
For a beautiful soul
For a young bride.

But the bride is young
Until dawn in the forest wandering,
Meanwhile everything went on and on
And I came across the Terem.
To meet her, the dog, barking,
He ran and was silent, playing;
She entered the gate
Silence in the backyard.
The dog runs after her, caressing,
And the princess, picking up,
Went up on the porch
And took up the ring;
The door quietly opened
And the princess found herself
In a bright room; around
Shops covered with carpet,
Under the saints is an oak table,
Stove with tiled bench.
The girl sees what's here

Good people live;
Know she won't be offended!
In the meantime, no one is visible.
The princess walked around the house,
Removed everything,

I lit a candle for God
Fired up the stove hot
I climbed up on the floor
And quietly subsided.
Dinner time was approaching
There was a clatter in the yard:
Enter seven heroes,
Seven ruddy mustaches.
The elder said: “What a marvel!
Everything is so clean and beautiful.
Someone tidied up the tower
Yes, I was waiting for the owners.
Who? Come out and show yourself
Be honest with us.
If you are an old man
You will be our uncle forever.
If you are a ruddy guy,
Brother will be our name.
Kohl old woman, be our mother,
So let's celebrate.
When the red girl
Be our dear sister."

And the princess came down to them,
Honored the owners
She bowed low to the waist;
Blushing, I apologized
Something went to visit them,
Even though she wasn't called.
In an instant, by speech, they recognized
That the princess was accepted;
seated in a corner,
They brought a pie;
Pour a glass full
Served on a tray.

From green wine
She denied;
The pie just broke
Yes, I took a bite
And from the road to rest
She asked to go to bed.
They took the girl
Up into the light
And left one
Going to sleep.
Day after day goes, flickering,
A young princess
Everything in the forest, she is not bored
At the seven heroes.

Before the dawn
Brothers in a friendly crowd
Going out for a walk
Shoot gray ducks
Amuse the right hand
Sorochina hurry in the field,
Or a head with broad shoulders
Cut off the Tatar
Or etch from the forest
Pyatigorsk Circassian.

And she is the hostess
In the meantime, alone
Pick up and cook.
She will not rebuke them,
They won't tell her.
So the days go by.
Brothers of a sweet maiden
Loved. To her in the light
Once, just dawn,
All seven of them entered.
The elder said to her: “Girl,
You know: you are our sister to all of us,
There are seven of us, you
We all love for ourselves
We would all take you for the sake of
Yes, you can't, for God's sake
Reconcile us somehow:
Be one wife
Other affectionate sister.
Why are you shaking your head?
Al refuse us?
Al goods are not for merchants?

"Oh, you honest fellows,
Brothers, you are my relatives, -
The princess says to them,
If I lie, may God command
Do not leave my place alive.
What do i do? because I'm a bride.
To me you are all equal
All daring, all smart,
I love you all heartily;
But to another I am forever
Given away. I love everyone
Prince Elisha.
The brothers stood silently
Yes, they scratched the back of the head.
“Demand is not a sin. Forgive us -
The elder said bowing, -
If so, do not stutter
That's about it." - "I'm not angry, -
She quietly said,
And my refusal is not my fault.
The grooms bowed to her,
Slowly departed
And according to everything again
They began to live and live.
Meanwhile, the evil queen
Remembering the princess
Couldn't forgive her
And on your mirror
Long pouted and angry;
Finally missed him
And she followed him, and sitting down
Before him, I forgot my anger,
Began to show off again
And with a smile she said:
"Hello mirror! Tell
Yes, tell the whole truth:
Am I the sweetest in the world,
All blush and whiter?
And a mirror in response to her:
“You are beautiful, no doubt;
But lives without any glory
Among the green oak forests,
At the seven heroes
The one that is sweeter than you."
And the queen flew
To Chernavka: “How dare you
Deceive me? and in what!..”
She confessed to everything:
Anyway. evil queen,
Threatening her with a slingshot
Decided or not to live,
Or destroy the princess.
Since the princess is young,
Waiting for dear brothers
Spinning, sitting under the window.
Suddenly angrily under the porch
The dog barked and the girl
Sees: beggar blueberry
Walks around the yard, stick
Chasing away the dog. "Wait,
Grandma, wait a little, -
She screams out the window, -
I will threaten the dog myself
And I'll bring you something."

The blueberry answers her:
"Oh, you little girl!
The damned dog overcame
Nearly ate to death.
Look how busy he is!
Come out to me." - The princess wants
Go out to her and take the bread,
But just got off the porch
The dog under her feet - and barks,
And he won't let me see the old woman;
Only the old woman will go to her,
He, the forest animal is more angry,
For an old woman. “What a miracle?
Apparently, he slept badly, -
The princess says to her:
Well, catch it! - and the bread flies.
The old woman caught the bread:
“Thank you,” she said. -
God bless you;
Here's to you, catch it!
And pouring to the princess,
young, golden
The apple flies straight...
The dog will jump, squeal ...
But the princess in both hands
Grab - caught. "For boredom
Eat an apple, my light.
Thank you for lunch."
The old lady said
Bowed down and disappeared...
And from the princess to the porch
The dog runs in her face
Looks pitifully, howls menacingly,
Like a dog's heart aches,
As if he wants to tell her:
Drop it! - She caress him,
Trembling with a gentle hand;
“What, Sokolko, what is the matter with you?
Lie down!" and entered the room
The door was softly closed
Under the window for the yarn village
Wait for the owners, but looked
All for an apple. It
Full of ripe juice
So fresh and so fragrant
So ruddy golden
Like honey poured!
You can see through the seeds...
She wanted to wait
Before lunch; did not endure
I took an apple in my hands
She brought it to scarlet lips,
Slowly bit through
And I ate a piece...
Suddenly she, my soul,
Staggered without breathing
White hands lowered
Dropped the ruddy fruit
Eyes rolled up
And she's under the image
Fell head on the bench
And quiet, motionless became ...

Brothers at that time home
returned in droves
From youthful robbery.
To meet them, howling menacingly,
The dog runs to the yard
The way shows them. “Not good! -
The brothers said: - sadness
We don't pass." We galloped
They enter, gasp. ran in,
Dog on an apple headlong
With barking rushed, got angry,
Swallowed it, fell off
And I died. drunk
It was poison, you know, it is.
Before the dead princess
Brothers in heartbreak
Everyone bowed their heads
And with the prayer of the saint
Raised from the bench, dressed,
They wanted to bury her
And they thought. She,
As under the wing of a dream,
So quiet, fresh lay,
Just not breathing.
Waited three days, but she
Didn't wake up from sleep.
Having created a sad rite,
Here they are in a crystal coffin
The corpse of a young princess
Put - and the crowd
Carried to an empty mountain
And at midnight
Her coffin to six pillars
On iron chains there
Carefully screwed
And fenced with bars;
And before the dead sister
Having made a bow to the earth,
The elder said: “Sleep in the coffin;
Suddenly went out, a victim of malice,
Your beauty is on the ground;
Heaven will receive your spirit.
We loved you
And for the dear store -
Nobody got it
Only one coffin."

On the same day, the evil queen,
Good news waiting
Secretly took a mirror
And she asked her question:
“I am, tell me, dearest of all,
All blush and whiter?
And heard back:
"You, queen, no doubt,
You are the sweetest in the world
All blush and whiter.
For your bride
Prince Elisha
Meanwhile, the world is jumping.
No how no! He weeps bitterly
And whoever he asks
All his question is wise;
Who laughs in his eyes
Who will rather turn away;
To the red sun at last
The good guy turned.
“Our light is the sun! You walk
All year round in the sky, you drive
Winter with warm spring
You see us all below you.
Al will you refuse me an answer?
Didn't you see anywhere in the world
Are you a young princess?
I am her fiancé." - "You are my light, -
The red sun answered, -
I did not see the princess.
There is no longer any way to know her alive.
Is it a month, my neighbor,
Somewhere I met her
Or a trace of her noticed.
Dark Night Elisha
He waited in his anguish.
Only a month seemed
He chased after him pleadingly.
"Month, month, my friend,
Gilded horn!
You rise in deep darkness
round-faced, light-eyed,
And, loving your custom,
The stars are watching you.
Al will you refuse me an answer?
Have you seen anywhere in the world
Are you a young princess?
I am her fiancé." - "My brother,
The clear moon answers, -
I did not see the red maiden.
I stand on guard
Just in my queue.
Without me, the princess, apparently,
Ran." - "How insulting!" -
The king answered.
The clear moon continued:
"Wait a minute; about her, maybe
The wind knows. He will help.
You go to him now
Don't be sad, goodbye."

Elisha, not discouraged,
Rushed to the wind, calling:
“Wind, wind! You are powerful
You drive flocks of clouds
You excite the blue sea
Everywhere you fly in the open,
Don't be afraid of anyone
Except for one god.
Al will you refuse me an answer?
Have you seen anywhere in the world
Are you a young princess?
I am her fiancé." - "Wait, -
The violent wind answers,
There, behind the quiet river
There is a high mountain
It has a deep hole;
In that hole, in the sad darkness,
The coffin is rocking crystal
On chains between poles.
Can't see any trace
Around that empty place;
In that coffin is your bride."
The wind ran away.
The prince began to sob
And went to an empty place
For a beautiful bride
View one more time.
Here comes; and rose
In front of him is a steep mountain;
Around her the country is empty;
Under the mountain is a dark entrance.
He goes there quickly.
Before him, in the mist of sadness,
The coffin is rocking crystal,
And in that crystal coffin
The princess sleeps forever.
And about the coffin of the bride dear
He hit with all his might.
The coffin was broken. Virgo suddenly
Revived. Looks around
Astonished eyes
And, swinging over the chains,
Sighing, she said:
"How long have I been asleep!"
And she rises from the grave...
Ah! .. and both sobbed.
He takes her in his hands
And brings it into the light from darkness,
And, talking pleasantly,
On the way they start back

And the rumor is already trumpeting:
The royal daughter is alive!
At home at that time without work
The wicked stepmother was sitting
In front of your mirror
And talked to him.
Saying: "I'm the sweetest of all,
All blush and whiter?
And heard back:
"You are beautiful, there is no word,
But the princess is still nicer,
Everything is blusher and whiter.
Evil stepmother, jumping up,
Breaking a mirror on the floor
Ran straight through the door
And I met the princess.
Then her longing took
And the queen died.
They just buried her
The wedding was immediately arranged
And with his bride
Elisha got married;
And no one since the beginning of the world
I have not seen such a feast;
I was there, honey, drinking beer,
Yes, he just wet his mustache.

The king and queen said goodbye,
Equipped on the road,
And the queen at the window
She sat down to wait for him alone.
Waiting, waiting from morning to night,
Looks in the field, indus 1 eyes
Get sick looking
From the white dawn to the night;
Don't see my dear friend!
He only sees: a blizzard is winding,
Snow falls on the fields
All white land.
Nine months go by
She does not take her eyes off the field.
Here on Christmas Eve 2 in the very, in the night,
God gives the queen a daughter.

1 indus- even.
2 Christmas Eve- The day before Christmas.

Welcome guest early in the morning
Day and night so long awaited
From afar at last
The king-father returned.
She looked at him
She sighed heavily
Admiration did not take away
And died by noon.

For a long time the king was inconsolable,
But how to be? and he was sinful;
The year has passed like an empty dream,
The king married another.
Tell the truth, young lady 3
Indeed, there was a queen: Tall, slender, white,
And she took it with her mind and everything;
But proud, broken 4 ,
Selfish and jealous.

3 Well done- here: young wife.
4 Lomliva(from the word break) - stubborn, capricious.

She was given as a dowry
There was only one mirror;
The mirror property had:
It speaks skillfully.
She was alone with him
Good-natured, cheerful
joked with him
And, blushing, she said:
“My light, mirror! Tell
Yes, tell the whole truth:
Am I the sweetest in the world,
All blush and whiter?
And a mirror in response to her:
“You, of course, no doubt;
You, queen, are sweeter than all,
All blush and whiter.
And the queen laugh
And shrug your shoulders
And wink your eyes
And snap your fingers 5 ,
And spin, akimbo,
Proudly looking in the mirror.

5 Finger- finger.

But the young princess
blooming silently,
Meanwhile, she grew, grew,
Rose and bloomed
White-faced, black-browed,
I like such a meek one.
And the groom was found by her,
Prince Elisha.
The matchmaker arrived, the king gave his word,
And the dowry is ready:
Seven trading cities
Yes, one hundred and forty towers.

For a bachelorette party 6 going,

6 Hen-party- a holiday in the bride's house (before the wedding), which gathers her friends, relatives.

Here is the queen dressing up
In front of your mirror
Chatted with him:

All blush and whiter?
What is the mirror in response?
“You are beautiful, no doubt;
But the princess is sweeter than all,
All blush and whiter.

How the queen jumps
Yes, how to wave the handle,
Yes, as it slams on the mirror,
With a heel, how it will stomp! ..
“Oh, you vile glass!
You're lying to spite me.
How can she compete with me?
I will calm the foolishness in it ...
Look how grown up! ..
And it's no wonder that it's white:
Mother belly sat
Yes, I just looked at the snow!
But tell me how can she
To be nicer to me in everything?
Admit it: I'm more beautiful than everyone.
Go around our whole kingdom,
Though the whole world; I don't have an even one.
Is not it?" Mirror in response:
“And the princess is still nicer,
Everything is blusher and whiter.
Nothing to do. She,
Full of black envy
Throwing a mirror under the bench,
Called Chernavka to her
And punish her
hay girl 7 his,
The message of the princess in the wilderness of the forest
And, tying her alive
Under the pine tree leave there
To be eaten by wolves.
7 hay girl or chernavka- a servant for "dirty" work (from the word canopy - a room between the porch and the residential part of the house).

Does the devil cope with an angry woman?
There is nothing to argue. With the princess
Here Chernavka went to the forest
And brought me so far
What did the princess think?
And scared to death
And she prayed: “My life!
What, tell me, am I guilty of?
Don't kill me girl!
And how will I be a queen,
I pity you."
That, in my soul, loving her,
Didn't kill, didn't bind
She let go and said:
"Don't worry, God is with you."
And she came home.
"What? the queen said to her,
Where is the beautiful girl? -
“There, in the forest, stands alone, -
She answers her,
Her elbows are tightly bound;
The beast will fall into the claws,
She will be less patient
It will be easier to die."
And the rumor began to ring:
The royal daughter is missing!
The poor king is grieving for her.
Prince Elisha,
praying hard
God, Goes on the road
For a beautiful soul
For a young bride.

But the bride is young
Until dawn in the forest wandering,
Meanwhile everything went on and on
And I came across the Terem.
A dog is meeting her, barking,
He ran and was silent, playing.
She entered the gate -
Silence in the backyard.
The dog runs after her, caressing,
And the princess, picking up 8 ,
Went up on the porch
And took up the ring;
The door quietly opened
And the princess found herself
In a bright room; around
Shops covered with carpet,
Under the saints 9 oak table,
Stove with tiled bench.
The girl sees what's here
Good people live;
Know she won't be offended! -
In the meantime, no one is visible.
The princess walked around the house,
Removed everything,
Lit a candle to God
Fired up the stove hot
On the floor 10 climbed up
And quietly subsided.

8 Picking up- that is, picking up, lifting a long dress.
9 Under the saints- here: under the icons.
10 Pay- wide bunks for sleeping, located under the ceiling.

Dinner time was approaching
There was a clatter in the yard:
Enter seven heroes,
Seven ruddy mustaches.
The elder said: “What a marvel!
Everything is so clean and beautiful.
Someone tidied up the tower
Yes, I was waiting for the owners,
Who? Come out and show yourself
Be honest with us.
If you are an old man
You will be our uncle forever.
If you are a ruddy guy,
Brother will be our name.
Kohl old woman, be our mother,
So let's celebrate.
When the red girl
Be our dear sister."

And the princess came down to them,
Honored the owners
She bowed low to the waist;
Blushing, I apologized
Something went to visit them,
Even though she wasn't called.
In an instant, by speech, they recognized
That the princess was accepted;
seated in a corner,
They brought a pie;
Pour a glass full
Served on a tray.
From green wine
She denied;
The pie just broke
Yes, I took a bite
And from the road to rest
She asked to go to bed.
They took the girl
Up into the light 11
And left one
Going to sleep.

11 Svetlitsa- in the old days, this was the name of a small bright room in the upper part of the house; usually girls lived in such rooms.

Day after day goes by, flickering,
A young princess
Everything in the forest, she is not bored
At the seven heroes.
Before the dawn
Brothers in a friendly crowd
Going out for a walk
Shoot gray ducks
Amuse the right hand
Sorochina 12 rush into the field 13 ,
Or a head with broad shoulders
Cut off the Tatar
Or etch from the forest
Pyatigorsk Circassian.
And she is the hostess
In the meantime, alone
Pick up and cook.
She will not rebuke them,
Not reread 14 her they.
So the days go by.

12 Sorochin- here: enemy, enemy.
13 Hurry- throw off a horse, make on foot.
14 To cross over, to overthrow- argue, object.

Brothers of a sweet maiden
Loved. To her in the light
Once, just dawn,
All seven of them entered.
The elder said to her: “Girl,
You know: you are our sister to all of us,
There are seven of us, you
We all love for ourselves
We would all be happy to take you
Yes, you can’t, so for God’s sake
Reconcile us somehow:
Be one wife
Other affectionate sister.
Why are you shaking your head?
Al refuse us?
Al goods are not for merchants?

"Oh, you honest fellows,
Brothers, you are my relatives, -
The princess says to them,
If I lie, let God command
Do not leave my place alive.
What do i do? because I'm a bride.
To me you are all equal
All daring, all smart,
I love you all heartily;
But to another I am forever
Given away. I love everyone
Prince Elisha.

The brothers stood silently
Yes, they scratched the back of the head.
“Demand is not a sin. Forgive us -
The elder said, bowing: -
If so, I won’t even mention it.” -
“I’m not angry,” she said softly:
And my refusal is not my fault.
The grooms bowed to her,
Slowly departed
And according to everything again
They began to live and live.

Meanwhile, the evil queen
Remembering the princess
Couldn't forgive her
And on your mirror
Long pouted and angry;
Finally missed him
And she followed him, and sitting down
Before him, I forgot my anger,
Began to show off again
And with a smile she said:
"Hello mirror! Tell,
Yes, tell the whole truth:
Am I the sweetest in the world,
All blush and whiter?
And a mirror in response to her:
“You are beautiful, no doubt:
But lives without any glory
Among the green oak forests,
At the seven heroes
The one that is sweeter than you."
And the queen flew
To Chernavka: “How dare you
Deceive me? and in what! .. "
She confessed to everything:
Anyway. evil queen,
Her slingshot 15 threatening
put 16 or not to live
Or destroy the princess.

Since the princess is young,
Waiting for dear brothers
Spinning, sitting under the window.
Suddenly angrily under the porch
The dog barked and the girl
Sees: beggar blueberry 17
Walks around the yard, stick
Chasing away the dog. "Wait,
Grandma, wait a little, -
She screams out the window, -
I will threaten the dog myself
And I'll bring you something."

15 Slingshot- an ancient tool of punishment.
16 put decided, decided.
17 Chernitsa- a nun.

The blueberry answers her:
"Oh, you little girl!
The damned dog won
Nearly ate to death.
Look how busy he is!
Come out to me." - The princess wants
Go out to her and take the bread,
But just got off the porch
The dog under her feet - and barks,
And he won't let me see the old woman;
Only the old woman will go to her,
He, the forest animal is more angry,
For an old woman. “What a miracle?
It looks like he slept badly." -
The princess says to her:
"Well, catch!" - and the bread flies.
The old woman caught the bread;
“Thank you,” she said. -
God bless you;
Here's to you, catch it!
And pouring to the princess,
young, golden
The apple flies straight...
The dog will jump, squeal ...
But the princess in both hands
Grab - caught. "For boredom
Eat an apple, my light.
Thank you for lunch."
The old lady said
Bowed down and disappeared...
And from the princess to the porch
The dog runs and in her face
Looks pitifully, howls menacingly,
Like a dog's heart is aching,
As if he wants to tell her:
Drop it! - She caress him,
Trembling with a gentle hand;

“What, Sokolko, what is the matter with you?
Lie down!" - entered the room,
The door was softly closed
Under the window for the yarn village
Wait for the owners, but looked
All for an apple. It
Full of ripe juice
So fresh and so fragrant
So ruddy golden
Like honey poured!
You can see through the seeds...
She wanted to wait
Until lunch, I could not stand it,
I took an apple in my hands
She brought it to scarlet lips,
Slowly bit through
And swallowed a piece...
Suddenly she, my soul,
Staggered without breathing
White hands lowered
Dropped the ruddy fruit
Eyes rolled up
And she's under the image
Fell head on the bench
And quiet, motionless became ...

Brothers at that time home
returned in droves
From youthful robbery.
To meet them, howling menacingly,
The dog runs to the yard
The way shows them. “Not good! -
The brothers said - sorrow
We don't pass." We galloped
Enter - gasped. ran in,
Dog on an apple headlong
With barking rushed, got angry,
Swallowed it, fell down And died.
It was drunk with poison, to know it.
Before the dead princess
Brothers in heartbreak
Everyone bowed their heads
And with the prayer of the saint
Raised from the bench, dressed,
Wanted to bury her
And they thought. She,
As under the wing of a dream,
So quiet, fresh lay,
Just not breathing.
Waited three days, but she
Didn't wake up from sleep.
Having created a sad rite,
Here they are in a crystal coffin
The corpse of a young princess
Put - and the crowd
Carried to an empty mountain
And at midnight
Her coffin to six pillars
On iron chains there
Carefully screwed
And fenced with a grate -
And, before the dead sister
Having made a bow to the earth,
The elder said: “Sleep in the coffin;
Suddenly went out, a victim of malice,
Your beauty is on the ground;
Heaven will receive your spirit.
We loved you
And for the dear store -
Nobody got it
Only one coffin."

On the same day, the evil queen,
Good news waiting
Secretly took a mirror
And she asked her question:
“I am, tell me, dearest of all,
All blush and whiter?
And heard back:
"You, queen, no doubt,
You are the sweetest in the world
All blush and whiter.

For your bride
Prince Elisha
Meanwhile, the world is jumping.
No how no! He weeps bitterly
And whoever he asks
All his question is wise;
Who laughs in his eyes
Who will rather turn away;
To the red sun at last
The good guy turned:
“Our light is the sun! You walk
All year round in the sky, you drive
Winter with warm spring
You see us all below you.
Al will you refuse me an answer?
Didn't you see anywhere in the world
Are you a young princess?
I am her fiancé." - "You are my light, -
The red sun answered, -
I did not see the princess.
Know that she is no longer alive.
Is it a month, my neighbor,
Somewhere I met her
Or a trace of her noticed.

Dark Night Elisha
He waited in his anguish.
Only a month seemed
He chased after him pleadingly.
"Month, month, my friend,
Gilded horn!
You rise in deep darkness
round-faced, light-eyed,
And, loving your custom,
The stars are watching you.
Al will you refuse me an answer?
Have you seen anywhere in the world
Are you a young princess?
I am her fiancé." - "My brother, -
The clear moon answers, -
I did not see the red maiden.
I stand on guard
Just in my queue.
Without me, the princess, apparently,
Ran." - "How insulting!" -
The king answered.
The clear moon continued:
"Wait a minute; about her, maybe
The wind knows. He will help.
You go to him now
Don't be sad, goodbye."

Elisha, not discouraged,
Rushed to the wind, calling:
“Wind, wind! You are powerful
You drive flocks of clouds
You excite the blue sea
Everywhere you fly in the open,
Don't be afraid of anyone
Except God alone.
Al will you refuse me an answer?
Have you seen anywhere in the world
Are you a young princess?
I am her fiancé." - "Wait, -
The violent wind answers,
There, behind the quiet river
There is a high mountain
It has a deep hole;
In that hole, in the sad darkness,
The coffin is rocking crystal
On chains between poles.
Can't see any trace
Around that empty place;
In that coffin is your bride."

The wind ran away.
The prince began to sob
And went to an empty place
For a beautiful bride
Watch one more time.
Here comes; and rose
In front of him is a steep mountain;
Around her the country is empty;
Under the mountain is a dark entrance.
He goes there quickly.
Before him, in the mist of sadness,
The coffin is rocking crystal,
And in that crystal coffin
The princess sleeps forever.
And about the coffin of the bride dear
He hit with all his might.
The coffin was broken. Virgo suddenly

Revived. Looks around
Astonished eyes
And, swinging over the chains,
Sighing, she said:
"How long have I been asleep!"
And she rises from the grave...
Ah! .. - and both sobbed.
He takes her in his hands
And brings it into the light from the darkness,
And, talking pleasantly,
On their way back,
And the rumor is already trumpeting:
The royal daughter is alive!

At home at that time without work
The wicked stepmother was sitting
In front of your mirror
And talked to him
Saying: "I'm the sweetest of all,
All blush and whiter?
And heard back:
"You are beautiful, there is no word,
But the princess is still nicer,
Everything is blusher and whiter.
Evil stepmother, jumping up,
Breaking a mirror on the floor
Ran straight through the door
And I met the princess.
Then her longing took
And the queen died.
They just buried her
The wedding was immediately arranged
And with his bride
Elisha got married;
And no one since the beginning of the world
I have not seen such a feast;
I was there, honey, drinking beer,
Yes, he just wet his mustache.

The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs

Analysis of "The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs" by Pushkin A.S.

Pushkin's fairy tale, despite the apparent simplicity inherent in all the poet's work, is deep in meaning and complex in psychological richness. The author contrasts the young princess with an evil stepmother.

The poet draws a young girl as kind, meek, hardworking and defenseless. Her outer beauty matches her inner beauty. It is difficult for her to live in a world where there is envy, evil and deceit.

A completely different queen-stepmother appears before us. She is also beautiful, but "angry", and jealous, and envious.

The idea that external beauty is nothing without internal beauty permeates the entire fairy tale. Many loved the young princess. The question arises why they did not save her. Yes, because only Prince Elisha loved her truly, sincerely and devotedly.

Indeed, let us turn to a fairy tale. The truthful mirror involuntarily betrayed the princess. Chernavka, who once took pity on the girl, also turned out to be capable of betrayal. And the kindness and cordiality of the forest brothers were devoid of real depth.

The true love of Prince Elisha saves the princess, awakening her from eternal sleep.

Evil, says the poet, is not omnipotent, it is defeated.

The evil queen-stepmother, although she “took it with her mind and everything,” is not confident in herself. Therefore, she needs a mirror constantly. The king-tza-stepmother is dying of envy and longing. This is how Pushkin showed the internal inconsistency and doom of evil.

The tale of the dead princess and the seven heroes entertains and teaches children.

Summary of the tale of the dead princess and the seven heroes

The king had a daughter. And her mother died. The king remarried. His new wife talked all the time with the magic mirror, which assured her that she was the most beautiful. The daughter of the king grew up and the stepmother learned from the mirror that now the daughter of the king is the most beautiful. She got angry and ordered the princess to be taken to the forest and tied there. But the maid took pity on her and did not tie her up. The princess found a house, tidied up there, cooked dinner and fell asleep. Seven brothers came and took her in as a sister. The princess lived with them for some time, then the stepmother again learned from the mirror that she was alive, came, turning into a beggar woman and gave her an apple. The princess ate the apple and died. The brothers put her in a crystal coffin in a cave. Her fiancé, Prince Elisha, searched for a long time, turning to the sun, the moon and the wind. Finally, he found, kissed, the princess came to life. The stepmother died of anger, and the princess married the prince.

Answers to questions about the tale of the dead princess and the seven heroes

1. What mood did Pushkin's fairy tale evoke in you?

"The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs" evoked a good, joyful mood. But first there was a feeling of sadness, anxiety for the fate of the princess, and only when the prince Elisha saved the princess, sadness and sadness left.

2. Which of the characters did you especially like? Which of them evoked other feelings?

Among the heroes of this tale, I liked the young princess, the heroes and the prince Elisha, and the stepmother caused a feeling of indignation.

3. Which fairy tale - “The Sleeping Princess” by Zhukovsky or “The Tale of the Dead Princess ...” by Pushkin is closer to the folk one? Justify your answer. Which one did you like more? How?

Pushkin's fairy tale is closer to folk than Zhukovsky's parable. In Pushkin's parable of evil, the princess is lusted not by a third-party sorceress, but by an evil stepmother, as is usually the case in Russian folk tales. Pushkin uses the wonderful numbers Seven and 3: the princess gets to 7 heroes, Elisha turns three times for help to the month, the sun and the wind. It is important that the prince refers specifically to the forces of nature.

In Pushkin's parable, as in Zhukovsky's fairy tale, there is a beginning and an ending, but unlike Zhukovsky, Pushkin often uses rhythmic repetitions, for example, "path-road", "tsar-father", "grew, grew", "beauty- girl"; uses invariable epithets, for example, “from the snow-white dawn”, “full of black envy”, “in the bright upper room”, “oak table”, “red maiden”.

I like Pushkin's tale more because it is more spiritual than Zhukovsky's tale.

4. What in the description of the king's farewell and the expectation of his queen creates a particularly sad mood?

When the queen says goodbye to the king, she is very hurt. The sad mood is conveyed by describing the queen's loneliness. She sits alone in front of the window and looks into the field in such a way that her eyes even fell ill from tension. Even when nine months have passed, she does not take her eyes off the field. The poet multiplies that the princess always sees a blizzard and snow, since the ruler left in the spring, then it was summer and autumn. But this exaggeration helps to highlight the queen's loneliness.

5. How do you understand the lines: “I sighed heavily, I couldn’t bear the admiration And I died by mass ...”?

The Tale of the Dead Princess and the 7 Heroes
The queen had a baby, and she was not to be worried. When she saw the king, she felt such excitement that her health could not stand it. The queen died by the time the mass began, in other words, the church service.

6. Does the new, “different” queen look like the first one, and what can you say about her? Read Pushkin's lines about the new queen.

The new queen is not like the first. The first loved her husband, and the second loves only herself. Pushkin writes about her:
To tell the truth, young woman Indeed, she was a queen:
tall, thin, white,
And she took it with her mind and everything;
But proud, broken,
Selfish and jealous.

7. Did you like the princess? How to explain that poetic lines about her begin with the word “but”: “But the young princess, Blooming silently, Meanwhile, she grew, grew, Rose - and blossomed”? To whom does the author oppose it?

The princess evokes the sympathy of readers. Poetic lines about her begin with the union "but", as Pushkin contrasts the young princess with the queen, her stepmother.

8. What did the queen want from the mirror and why does Pushkin call her differently: queen, woman, angry queen, evil queen, evil stepmother? Which of these words fully expresses the reason for her unkind attitude towards the princess?

The queen sought assurance from the mirror that she was the most beautiful. Pushkin names the heroine of the fairy tale differently in order to emphasize that at some moments she behaves like a queen, at others just like a woman, at others specifically like an evil stepmother. The queen treats the young princess with hatred when she finds out that the princess has become cuter, blusher and snow-white. She does not behave like a queen, like an envious woman and an evil stepmother.

The phrase “evil stepmother” fully expresses the premises of an unkind deed to the princess.

9. What character traits are revealed to us in the princess and in the heroes? How do the heroes relate to the princess and why?

When the princess gets to the heroes, we learn her character. She is courteous, hardworking, moderate, good, economic. Bogatyrs are observant, courageous, zealous, dashing. They adored the princess for her beauty, kindness and tender care, they wish to marry her, but respect her feelings.

10. Why are Elisha's appeals to the sun, the moon, and the wind interesting? How are the anxiety, excitement, sadness, joy of Prince Elisha manifested in these appeals? Confirm with intonation while reading.

Elisha's appeals to the sun, the moon and the wind bring Pushkin's fairy tale closer to folklore. In these appeals, anxiety, excitement, hope and sadness of the prince are manifested. These feelings appear in the affectionate appeals, in the question: “Will you refuse me an answer?”, In the assertive repetition of the head question:

Have you seen where in the world you are a young princess?

11. Read the scene (episode) of the conversation between the princess and Chernavka. How do you understand this episode?

The princess begs Chernavka to have mercy on her and promises to reward her. Chernavka loves the young princess and realizes that she is not guilty of anything. She releases the princess and says to her: "Do not twist, God is with you." Christians believe that God always helps the righteous, and Chernavka hopes that God will help the princess.

12. Read Pushkin's lines and say what is the difference between the mood and musical tone of these lines. What is the reason for this difference?
And the rumor began to ring: And the rumor is already trumpeting:
The royal daughter is gone! The royal daughter is alive!

The 1st phrase sounds uncertain, somehow rattling, the 2nd is confident, assertive, gratifying. The difference in the mood and musical tone of the lines is made by the sounds that make up the words. For example, the word "ringing" begins with the same signs as the word "trumpets". But the 1st word rattles (the sound [p '] is soft, the combination [sv]), the 2nd word sounds confident ([p] is hard, the sound [y] is heard correctly), it is strengthened by the word "already", in which also sound [y].

In the first couplet, the stress falls on the penultimate syllables of the lines, and this is also done by the memory of uncertainty. In the 2nd couplet, the stress is on the last syllables of the lines, and this helps to affirm the feeling of joy.

Be mindful of the word

Such expressions could be encountered exclusively in the author's parable: she did not bear admiration, she had the property of a mirror, in spiritual sorrow, having created a sad ritual, she suddenly went out as a victim of anger. The remaining expressions listed are typical for folk speech.

"The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs"- a Soviet animated cartoon film released by the Soyuzmultfilm studio in 1951, and an adaptation of the fairy tale of the same name (1833) by Alexander Pushkin.

Plot

There lived a king and a queen. The king left for 1 year. While the king was away, she had a daughter. The queen dies when the king returns home. He grieves, but a year passes, and a new queen appears in the palace. She is very beautiful, but cruel, wayward and envious. The queen has a magic mirror that talks to her. When the queen looks in the mirror, she asks him:

My light, mirror! Tell
Yes, tell the whole truth:
Am I the sweetest in the world,
All blush and whiter?

From year to year the mirror answers that in the whole world there is no one more beautiful than the queen. But years go by, and the queen is no longer young. But her stepdaughter, on the contrary, is growing up and becoming more and more beautiful. One fine day, the mirror tells the queen that she is beautiful, but there is one that is much more beautiful:

You are beautiful, no doubt;
But the princess is sweeter than all,
All blush and whiter.

The nature of the queen makes itself felt, and the envy of the main character has no limits. The queen calls her servant Chernavka and orders her:

You are a princess in the wilderness of the forest
Take me away. Tied, live
Leave it under the pine
To be eaten by wolves.

Fulfilling the order of the queen, Chernavka leads the princess into the forest, but does not wish her harm. She only fulfills the order of the hostess and therefore releases the princess. Then Chernavka returns to the queen and tells her about the death of the princess.

The king, having learned about the loss of his daughter, grieves. The groom of the princess, Prince Elisha, goes around the world in search of the missing bride. The latter wanders for a long time through the dense forest and as a result, in a dense thicket, finds a big house. The princess goes there, but the owners are not at home. In the evening they appear. These are the seven brothers-heroes. The princess tells what happened to her, and the heroes leave her to live in their house.

The main character does housework. The wealthy liked her. The latter offer her to choose one of them as her husband. The princess replies that all the heroes are dear to her, but she already has a fiancé, and she is forced to refuse. Meanwhile, the queen, thinking that her stepdaughter is long dead, asks the mirror:

Am I the sweetest in the world,
All blush and whiter?

The mirror replies that the queen is beautiful without a doubt, but the princess is still more beautiful. Then the queen decides to put an end to her stepdaughter herself. She disguises herself as an old woman, goes into the forest to look for the princess and finds the house of the seven heroes. The princess does not recognize her stepmother, takes pity on the old woman and gives her alms. Only the watchdog barks angrily at the old woman. The queen gives her stepdaughter a poisoned apple. The princess bites him and dies.

When the heroes returned in the evening, they saw the body of the princess. The dog that swallowed the poisoned apple lies nearby. The heroes realize that the princess was poisoned. Later, they will put her in a crystal coffin, which they will hang in a mountain cave. The satisfied queen hears from the mirror the long-awaited answer that she is the most beautiful in the world.

Elisha is looking for the princess all over the world, but his bride is nowhere to be found. Then he turns for help to those who see everything - to the sun, the moon and the wind. The sun and the moon know nothing about the missing princess. Only the wind gave Elisha a sad answer:

There, behind the quiet river
There is a high mountain
It has a deep hole;
In that hole, in the sad darkness,
The coffin is rocking crystal
On chains between poles.
Can't see any trace
Around that empty place
In that coffin is your bride.

Saddened, Elisha goes to see his bride and kisses her, which awakens her. Happy lovers return home to get married. At this time, the queen asks the mirror who is the most beautiful in the world, and again hears that the princess is more beautiful than her. In a fit of rage, the queen smashes the mirror to smithereens, and at a personal meeting with the princess, she dies of anguish. The film ends with the wedding of the princess and the prince Elisha, at which, apparently, the named brothers of the princess, seven heroes, are present.

A. S. Pushkin

The king and queen said goodbye,
Equipped on the road,
And the queen at the window
She sat down to wait for him alone.
Waiting, waiting from morning to night,
Looks in the field, indus eyes
Get sick looking
From the white dawn to the night;
Don't see my dear friend!
He only sees: a blizzard is winding,
Snow falls on the fields
All white land.
Nine months go by
She does not take her eyes off the field.
Here on Christmas Eve, on the very night
God gives the queen a daughter.
Welcome guest early in the morning
Day and night so long awaited
From afar at last
The king-father returned.
She looked at him
She sighed heavily
Admiration did not take away
And died by noon.

For a long time the king was inconsolable,
But how to be? and he was sinful;
A year has passed like an empty dream
The king married another.
Tell the truth, young lady
Indeed, there was a queen:
tall, thin, white,
And she took it with her mind and everything;
But proud, broken,
Selfish and jealous.
She was given as a dowry
There was only one mirror;
The mirror property had:
It speaks skillfully.
She was alone with him
Good-natured, cheerful
joked with him
And, blushing, she said:
"My light, mirror! tell me
Yes, tell the whole truth:
Am I the sweetest in the world,
All rouge and whiter?"
And a mirror in response to her:
"You, of course, no doubt;
You, queen, are sweeter than all,
All rouge and whiter."
And the queen laugh
And shrug your shoulders
And wink your eyes
And snap your fingers
And spin around,
Proudly looking in the mirror.

But the young princess
blooming silently,
Meanwhile, she grew, grew,
Has risen and blossomed,
White-faced, black-browed,
I like such a meek one.
And the groom was found by her,
Prince Elisha.
The matchmaker arrived, the king gave his word,
And the dowry is ready:
Seven trading cities
Yes, one hundred and forty towers.

Going to a bachelorette party
Here is the queen dressing up
In front of your mirror
Chatted with him:

All rouge and whiter?"
What is the mirror in response?
"You are beautiful, no doubt;
But the princess is sweeter than all,
All rouge and whiter."
How the queen jumps
Yes, how to wave the handle,
Yes, as it slams on the mirror,
With a heel, how it will stomp! ..
"Oh, you vile glass!
You're lying to spite me.
How can she compete with me?
I will calm the foolishness in it.
Look how grown up!
And it's no wonder that it's white:
Mother belly sat
Yes, I just looked at the snow!
But tell me how can she
To be nicer to me in everything?
Admit it: I'm more beautiful than everyone.
Go around our whole kingdom,
Though the whole world; I don't have an even one.
Is that right?" The mirror answered:
"And the princess is still nicer,
Everything is blusher and whiter."
Nothing to do. She,
Full of black envy
Throwing a mirror under the bench,
Called Chernavka to her
And punish her
To his hay girl,
The message of the princess in the wilderness of the forest
And, tying her alive
Under the pine tree leave there
To be eaten by wolves.

Does the devil cope with an angry woman?
There is nothing to argue. With the princess
Here Chernavka went to the forest
And brought me so far
What did the princess think?
And scared to death
And she pleaded: "My life!
What, tell me, am I guilty of?
Don't kill me girl!
And how will I be a queen,
I pity you."
The one who loves her in my heart,
Didn't kill, didn't bind
She let go and said:
"Don't freak out, God bless you."
And she came home.
"What? the queen said to her,
Where is the pretty girl?"
"There, in the forest, stands alone, -
She answers her,
Her elbows are tightly bound;
Caught in the claws of the beast
She will be less patient
It will be easier to die."

And the rumor began to ring:
The royal daughter is missing!
The poor king is grieving for her.
Prince Elisha,
Praying earnestly to God,
Set off on the road
For a beautiful soul
For a young bride.

But the bride is young
Until dawn in the forest wandering,
Meanwhile everything went on and on
And I came across the Terem.
The dog is meeting her, barking,
He ran and was silent, playing;
She entered the gate
Silence in the backyard.
The dog runs after her, caressing,
And the princess, picking up,
Went up on the porch
And took up the ring;
The door opened softly.
And the princess found herself
In a bright room; around
Shops covered with carpet,
Under the saints is an oak table,
Stove with tiled bench.
The girl sees what's here
Good people live;
Know she won't be offended.
In the meantime, no one is visible.
The princess walked around the house,
Removed everything,
I lit a candle for God
Fired up the stove hot
I climbed up on the floor
And quietly subsided.

Dinner time was approaching
There was a clatter in the yard:
Enter seven heroes,
Seven ruddy mustaches.
The elder said: "What a marvel!
Everything is so clean and beautiful.
Someone tidied up the tower
Yes, I was waiting for the owners.
Who? Come out and show yourself
Be honest with us.
If you are an old man
You will be our uncle forever.
If you are a ruddy guy,
Brother will be our name.
Kohl old woman, be our mother,
So let's celebrate.
When the red girl
Be our dear sister."

And the princess came down to them,
Honored the owners
She bowed low to the waist;
Blushing, I apologized
Something went to visit them,
Even though she wasn't called.
Instantly by speech they recognized
That the princess was accepted;
seated in a corner,
They brought a pie
Pour a glass full
Served on a tray.
From green wine
She denied;
The pie just broke
Yes, I took a bite
And from the road to rest
She asked to go to bed.
They took the girl
Up into the light
And left one
Going to sleep.

Day after day goes, flickering,
A young princess
Everything in the forest, she is not bored
At the seven heroes.
Before the dawn
Brothers in a friendly crowd
Going out for a walk
Shoot gray ducks
Amuse the right hand
Sorochina hurry in the field,
Or a head with broad shoulders
Cut off the Tatar
Or etch from the forest
Pyatigorsk Circassian,
And she is the hostess
In the meantime, alone
Pick up and cook
She will not rebuke them,
They will not cross her.
So the days go by.

Brothers of a sweet maiden
Loved. To her in the light
Once, just dawn,
All seven of them entered.
The elder said to her: "Girl,
You know: you are our sister to all of us,
There are seven of us, you
We all love for ourselves
We would all be happy to take you
Yes, you can't, for God's sake
Reconcile us somehow:
Be one wife
Other affectionate sister.
Why are you shaking your head?
Al refuse us?
Al goods are not for merchants?"

"Oh, you honest fellows,
Brothers, you are my relatives,
The princess says to them,
If I lie, may God command
Do not leave my place alive.
What do i do? because I'm a bride.
To me you are all equal
All daring, all smart,
I love you all heartily;
But to another I am forever
Given away. I love everyone
Prince Elisha.

The brothers stood silently
Yes, they scratched the back of the head.
"Demand is not a sin. Forgive us,
The elder said bowing,
If so, do not stutter
About that." "I'm not angry,
She quietly said,
And my refusal is not my fault."
The grooms bowed to her,
Slowly departed
And according to everything again
They began to live and live.

Meanwhile, the evil queen
Remembering the princess
Couldn't forgive her
And on your mirror
Long pouted and angry;
Finally missed him
And she followed him, and sitting down
Before him, I forgot my anger,
Began to show off again
And with a smile she said:
"Hello mirror! say
Yes, tell the whole truth:
Am I the sweetest in the world,
All rouge and whiter?"
And a mirror in response to her:
"You are beautiful, no doubt;
But lives without any glory
Among the green oak forests,
At the seven heroes
The one that's sweeter than you."
And the queen flew
To Chernavka: "How dare you
Deceive me? and in what!.."
She confessed to everything:
Anyway. evil queen,
Threatening her with a slingshot
Decided or not to live,
Or destroy the princess.

Since the princess is young,
Waiting for dear brothers
Spinning, sitting under the window.
Suddenly angrily under the porch
The dog barked and the girl
Sees: beggar blueberry
Walks around the yard, stick
Chasing away the dog. "Wait,
Grandma, wait a little,
She screams out the window,
I will threaten the dog myself
And I'll bring you something."
The blueberry answers her:
"Oh, you little girl!
The damned dog overcame
Nearly ate to death.
Look how busy he is!
Come to me." The princess wants
Go out to her and take the bread,
But just got off the porch
The dog is under her feet and barks,
And he won't let me see the old woman;
Only the old woman will go to her,
He, the forest animal is more angry,
For an old woman. "What a miracle?
Apparently, he slept badly,
The princess says to her,
Well, catch it!" and the bread flies.
The old woman caught the bread;
"Thank you," she said.
God bless you;
Here's to you, catch it!"
And pouring to the princess,
young, golden
The apple flies straight...
The dog will jump, squeal ...
But the princess in both hands
Grab caught. "For the sake of boredom,
Eat an apple, my light.
Thank you for lunch,"
The old lady said
Bowed down and disappeared...
And from the princess to the porch
The dog runs in her face
Looks pitifully, howls menacingly,
Like a dog's heart aches,
As if he wants to tell her:
Drop it! She caress him,
Trembling with a gentle hand;
"What, Sokolko, what's the matter with you?
Lie down!" and entered the room,
The door was softly closed
Under the window for the yarn village
Wait for the owners, but looked
All for an apple. It
Full of ripe juice
So fresh and so fragrant
So ruddy golden
Like honey poured!
You can see through the seeds...
She wanted to wait
Until lunch, I could not stand it,
I took an apple in my hands
She brought it to scarlet lips,
Slowly bit through
And I ate a piece...
Suddenly she, my soul,
Staggered without breathing
White hands lowered
Dropped the ruddy fruit
Eyes rolled up
And she's under the image
Fell head on the bench
And quiet, motionless became ...

Brothers at that time home
returned in droves
From youthful robbery.
To meet them, howling menacingly,
The dog runs to the yard
The way shows them. "Not good!
The brothers said, sadness
We will not pass. "They galloped,
They enter, gasp. ran in,
Dog on an apple headlong
With barking rushed, got angry,
Swallowed it, fell off
And I died. drunk
It was poison, you know, it is.
Before the dead princess
Brothers in heartbreak
Everyone bowed their heads
And with the prayer of the saint
Raised from the bench, dressed,
They wanted to bury her
And they thought. She,
As under the wing of a dream,
So quiet, fresh lay,
Just not breathing.
Waited three days, but she
Didn't wake up from sleep.
Having created a sad rite,
Here they are in a crystal coffin
The corpse of a young princess
Put and the crowd
Carried to an empty mountain
And at midnight
Her coffin to six pillars
On iron chains there
Carefully screwed
And fenced with bars;
And before the dead sister
Having made a bow to the earth,
The elder said: "Sleep in the coffin.
Suddenly went out, a victim of malice,
Your beauty is on the ground;
Heaven will receive your spirit.
We loved you
And for the dear keep
Nobody got it
Only one coffin."

On the same day, the evil queen,
Good news waiting
Secretly took a mirror
And she asked her question:
"I eh, tell me, all the nicer,
All rouge and whiter?"
And heard back:
"You, queen, no doubt,
You are the sweetest in the world
All rouge and whiter."

For your bride
Prince Elisha
Meanwhile, the world is jumping.
No how no! He weeps bitterly
And whoever he asks
All his question is wise;
Who laughs in his eyes
Who will rather turn away;
To the red sun at last
The good guy turned.
"Our light is the sun! you walk
All year round in the sky, you drive
Winter with warm spring
You see us all below you.
Al will you refuse me an answer?
Didn't you see anywhere in the world
Are you a young princess?
I am her fiancé." "You are my light,
The red sun answered,
I did not see the princess.
Know that she is no longer alive.
Is it a month, my neighbor,
Somewhere I met her
Or a trace of her noticed.

Dark Night Elisha
He waited in his anguish.
Only a month seemed
He chased after him pleadingly.
"Month, month, my friend,
Gilded horn!
You rise in deep darkness
round-faced, light-eyed,
And, loving your custom,
The stars are watching you.
Al will you refuse me an answer?
Have you seen anywhere in the world
Are you a young princess?
I am her fiancé." "My brother,
The clear moon answers,
I did not see the red maiden.
I stand on guard
Just in my queue.
Without me, the princess is visible
Ran." "What a shame!"
The king answered.
The clear moon continued:
"Wait; about her, perhaps,
The wind knows. He will help.
You go to him now
Don't be sad, goodbye."

Elisha, not discouraged,
Rushed to the wind, calling:
"Wind, wind! You are mighty,
You drive flocks of clouds
You excite the blue sea
Everywhere you blow in the open.
Don't be afraid of anyone
Except for one god.
Al will you refuse me an answer?
Have you seen anywhere in the world
Are you a young princess?
I am her fiancé." "Wait,
The violent wind answers,
There, behind the quiet river
There is a high mountain
It has a deep hole;
In that hole, in the sad darkness,
The coffin is rocking crystal
On chains between poles.
Can't see any trace
Around that empty place
In that coffin is your bride."

The wind ran away.
The prince began to sob
And went to an empty place
For a beautiful bride
View one more time.
Here comes; and rose
In front of him is a steep mountain;
Around her the country is empty;
Under the mountain is a dark entrance.
He goes there quickly.
Before him, in the mist of sadness,
The coffin is rocking crystal,
And in that crystal coffin
The princess sleeps forever.
And about the coffin of the bride dear
He hit with all his might.
The coffin was broken. Virgo suddenly
Revived. Looks around
Astonished eyes
And, swinging over the chains,
Sighing, she said:
"How long have I been asleep!"
And she rises from the grave...
Ah! .. and both sobbed.
He takes her in his hands
And brings it into the light from darkness,
And, talking pleasantly,
On their way back,
And the rumor is already trumpeting:
The royal daughter is alive!

At home at that time without work
The wicked stepmother was sitting
In front of your mirror
And talked to him
Saying: "I'm the sweetest of all,
All rouge and whiter?"
And heard back:
"You are beautiful, there is no word,
But the princess is still nicer,
Everything is blusher and whiter."
Evil stepmother, jumping up,
Breaking a mirror on the floor
Ran straight through the door
And I met the princess.
Then her longing took
And the queen died.
They just buried her
The wedding was immediately arranged
And with his bride
Elisha got married;
And no one since the beginning of the world
I have not seen such a feast;
I was there, honey, drinking beer,
Yes, he just wet his mustache.

"The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs"- a Soviet animated cartoon film released by the Soyuzmultfilm studio in 1951, and an adaptation of the fairy tale of the same name (1833) by Alexander Pushkin.

Plot

There lived a king and a queen. The king left for 1 year. While the king was away, she had a daughter. The queen dies when the king returns home. He grieves, but a year passes, and a new queen appears in the palace. She is very beautiful, but cruel, wayward and envious. The queen has a magic mirror that talks to her. When the queen looks in the mirror, she asks him:

My light, mirror! Tell
Yes, tell the whole truth:
Am I the sweetest in the world,
All blush and whiter?

From year to year the mirror answers that in the whole world there is no one more beautiful than the queen. But years go by, and the queen is no longer young. But her stepdaughter, on the contrary, is growing up and becoming more and more beautiful. One fine day, the mirror tells the queen that she is beautiful, but there is one that is much more beautiful:

You are beautiful, no doubt;
But the princess is sweeter than all,
All blush and whiter.

The nature of the queen makes itself felt, and the envy of the main character has no limits. The queen calls her servant Chernavka and orders her:

You are a princess in the wilderness of the forest
Take me away. Tied, live
Leave it under the pine
To be eaten by wolves.

Fulfilling the order of the queen, Chernavka leads the princess into the forest, but does not wish her harm. She only fulfills the order of the hostess and therefore releases the princess. Then Chernavka returns to the queen and tells her about the death of the princess.

The king, having learned about the loss of his daughter, grieves. The groom of the princess, Prince Elisha, goes around the world in search of the missing bride. The latter wanders for a long time through the dense forest and as a result, in a dense thicket, finds a big house. The princess goes there, but the owners are not at home. In the evening they appear. These are the seven brothers-heroes. The princess tells what happened to her, and the heroes leave her to live in their house.

The main character does housework. The wealthy liked her. The latter offer her to choose one of them as her husband. The princess replies that all the heroes are dear to her, but she already has a fiancé, and she is forced to refuse. Meanwhile, the queen, thinking that her stepdaughter is long dead, asks the mirror:

Am I the sweetest in the world,
All blush and whiter?

The mirror replies that the queen is beautiful without a doubt, but the princess is still more beautiful. Then the queen decides to put an end to her stepdaughter herself. She disguises herself as an old woman, goes into the forest to look for the princess and finds the house of the seven heroes. The princess does not recognize her stepmother, takes pity on the old woman and gives her alms. Only the watchdog barks angrily at the old woman. The queen gives her stepdaughter a poisoned apple. The princess bites him and dies.

When the heroes returned in the evening, they saw the body of the princess. The dog that swallowed the poisoned apple lies nearby. The heroes realize that the princess was poisoned. Later, they will put her in a crystal coffin, which they will hang in a mountain cave. The satisfied queen hears from the mirror the long-awaited answer that she is the most beautiful in the world.

Elisha is looking for the princess all over the world, but his bride is nowhere to be found. Then he turns for help to those who see everything - to the sun, the moon and the wind. The sun and the moon know nothing about the missing princess. Only the wind gave Elisha a sad answer:

There, behind the quiet river
There is a high mountain
It has a deep hole;
In that hole, in the sad darkness,
The coffin is rocking crystal
On chains between poles.
Can't see any trace
Around that empty place
In that coffin is your bride.

Saddened, Elisha goes to see his bride and kisses her, which awakens her. Happy lovers return home to get married. At this time, the queen asks the mirror who is the most beautiful in the world, and again hears that the princess is more beautiful than her. In a fit of rage, the queen smashes the mirror to smithereens, and at a personal meeting with the princess, she dies of anguish. The film ends with the wedding of the princess and the prince Elisha, at which, apparently, the named brothers of the princess, seven heroes, are present.
