: The queen organizes the murder of her stepdaughter because she is more beautiful than her. The poisoned girl falls asleep in a dead sleep, but the bridegroom finds and awakens her, and the queen dies of anger and envy.
The king bid farewell to his queen wife and set off on a long journey. Sitting by the window, the queen waited a long time for her beloved husband. Nine months later, on the night before Christmas, a daughter was born to the queen. The king returned early in the morning, and the queen, not having endured great joy, died.
The king grieved for a whole year, and then married again.
Say the truth, well done
Indeed, there was a queen:
Tall, slim, white,
And the mind and all took;
But then proud
Willful and jealous.
In the dowry, the young queen had a magic talking mirror. Flaunting in front of him, she asked: "Am I in the world more sweet, all blush and whiter?" And each time the mirror assured the proud queen that she was the most beautiful in the world.
Meanwhile, the princess grew up and became a white-haired woman and a black-browed girl with a meek disposition. Soon a bridegroom was found for the princess - Prince Elisha.
Once, going to a bachelorette party, the queen again asked the little mirror if she was the most beautiful. This time, the pocket mirror replied that the queen was “beautiful, no doubt”, but the young princess was the most beautiful.Full of black envy, the queen instructed the maid to bring her stepdaughter into the forest, tie and leave the wolves to eat.
The maid brought the princess into such a wilderness that she guessed everything and began to beg to keep her alive. The maid took pity and did not bind the princess, and the queen reported that her order was executed.
Soon it became known that the royal daughter was missing. Royal Elisha set off to look for his beautiful bride.
The Tsarevna meanwhile came upon a forest tower, entered and found herself in a richly furnished room. According to the images hanging in the corner, the girl guessed that "good people live here." While the owners were not at home, the princess cleaned the tower and fell asleep.
The owners of the tower, seven brothers-heroes returned to dinner. They liked the housekeeping girl, they immediately recognized her as a princess, left her and treated her like a sister.
Day after day goes flickering
And the princess is young
Everything in the forest, not boring her
At seven heroes.
The warriors left now to hunt, then to war with the Tatars, and the princess led the economy. The brothers fell in love with a sweet girl and suggested that she choose one of them as husbands. The princess refused, because she already had a groom, and again they began to live in peace and harmony.
The tsarina, for a long time, was angry at her little mirror, but once she took it out again and asked if they were the most beautiful. Mirror reported that the princess, who lives with the seven heroes, is still more beautiful than the queen. Calling the maid, the queen threatened her with death and ordered her to be destroyed.
Pretending to be an old nun, the maid went to the tower of the heroes.The faithful dog did not let her into the house, but the kind princess took pity on the old woman and threw her a loaf of bread. In return, the nun threw a ripe, liquid apple to the girl. The princess bit him and immediately fell dead.
Finding a lifeless girl, the brothers did not dare to bury her.
It,
Like under the wing of a dream
So quiet, fresh lay
That just did not breathe.
They put the princess’s body in a crystal coffin, carried it to the cave and hung it on cast iron chains from six pillars. On the same day, the evil queen asked the mirror to her question and in response she heard that she was "all the nicer, all the rouge and whiter."
Royal Elisha meanwhile wandered around the world in search of her beloved bride, but no one heard anything about the missing princess. Finally, the prince asked the sun if she had seen the princess. The girl did not see the red sun and advised me to turn to the month.
For a month, I did not meet the girl and sent Elisha to the wind, who told the prince about the crystal tomb in a deep cave - there lies his bride. The prince began to sob and went for the last time to look at the princess. Entering the cave, he hit the coffin with all his might, the crystal broke and the girl suddenly came to life.
And she gets up from the grave ...
Ah! .. and sobbed both.
He takes it in his hands
And brings light from darkness
And chatting nicely
They set off on a journey back
And the rumor is already blowing:
The royal daughter is alive!
At this time, the evil queen talked with a mirror. Hearing that the princess was nevertheless prettier, she smashed the mirror, rushing out of the room, at the door she ran into the princess and died of longing and envy.
After the funeral of the queen, Elisha married the princess.A magnificent feast was held, at which the narrator was, "honey, drank beer, but just drenched his mustache."
