Топик: Tsar Saltan
Топик: Tsar Saltan
Once upon a time in a far away land Tsar Saltan sat listening to the
future plans of three sisters. One of these sisters said that she wanted to
give birth to a great warrior, and employ the other two sisters in her charge.
Tsar Saltan decided to marry this sister, making the other two sisters become
very jealous. These two women decided to do everything they could to make the
married sister's life unhappy.
Tsar Saltan soon went away to war. During his absence his queen gave
birth to a healthy baby boy named Gvidon. It looked as if her dream of the
future were beginning to be fulfilled, but her evil sisters wrote to the Tsar
and convinced him that his son was an evil monster. Believing their ridiculous
story, the Tsar then ordered that his wife and son be sealed in a barrel and
cast into the sea.
The barrel drifted for many years, finally washing ashore after
Prince Gvidon had already grown into a man. On this shore Prince Gvidon
performed his first great task, he rescued a swan being attacked by an evil
magician. Having been saved, the swan then turned into an enchanting princess
who promised to help Gvidon find his father. The Prince then became ruler of
the land that he had washed ashore upon, and his kingdom became famous
throughout the world.
One day a merchant ship en route to Tsar Saltan's country passed
through Prince Gvidon's magnificent land. On arrival to Tsar Saltan's country
the merchant told the Tsar about his son's great land. Tsar Saltan made plans
to travel there, but the evil sisters talked him out of it. The next time the
merchant passed through the kingdom of Prince Gvidon he saw the Magic Squirrel
which lived in a crystal cage that Prince Gvidon had built for it. Again the
merchant arrived home to tell Tsar Saltan of his son's magical land, but again
the evil sisters interfered. They told the Tsar that he should instead go to
the land where one can see 33 warriors and Chernomor rise from the ocean.
The Princess Swan explained to Prince Gvidon that these warriors
were her brothers, so when the merchant passed through the land a third time
this feat was performed for him. Having heard this story the wicked sisters
dissuaded the Tsar once more from traveling to his son by telling him that it
would be more worth his while to find the Magic Princess with the Sea Star
above her head.
Prince Gvidon was sad when he discovered once more that his father
would not come to see him. Little did he know that the Swan Princess and the
Magic Princess were one in the same! The merchant then returned home a fourth
time to inform the Tsar that his son had married the Magic Princess. The Tsar
then immediately set sail for Gvidon's kingdom where the family was reunited.
They lived there happily ever after.
