| A FEW MINI RUSSIAN TALES IN SONG AND MUSIC  The Frog Princess As retold by Artyom K. Once upon a time a Russian King called his three sons and said, " Dear sons I want you to get married, go out in the forest and each of you must shoot an arrow. The princess that will pick it up first, you should marry." The sons did what the father told them to. The arrow of the oldest son fell in the nobleman's courtyard, and his daughter picked it up, the arrow of the middle son fell to the merchant's daughter, and the arrow of the youngest son, Prince Ivan, was picked up by the frog. So he had to marry a frog. One day the King told his sons that he wants their wives to sew a shirt by tomorrow morning. Then Ivan came home very sad. "Why are you sad my prince?", the frog asked. "My father wants you to sew him a shirt by tomorrow morning", he said. "Don't worry prince Ivan, go to bed, for night is the mother of counsel."  So he went to bed, and the frog threw off her frog skin, clapped her hands and said, "Maids and nurses, by tomorrow sew me the nicest shirt." On the next day Ivan woke up, and was very happy to see a very nice shirt. So he took it to the King. The King didn't like any of the shirts except the one Ivan's wife sewed. Then King called his sons again and said that he wants their wives to bake bread by tomorrow morning. So Ivan came home sad again. His wife asked "Why are you sad?" " My father wants you to bake some bread by tomorrow morning" he said. "Don't worry Ivan go to bed, for night is the mother of council." So the frog threw her skin off and again asked her helpers to bake her the best bread. |
