There was an old man with an old woman. They had three daughters; the younger one was such a beauty that one cannot say in a fairy tale, nor write with a pen. Once the old man was going to the city for the fair and said: “My dear daughters! What you need, order, - I will atone for everything at the fair. The eldest asks: "Buy me, father, a new dress." Middle: "Buy me, father, a shawl handkerchief." And the smaller one says: "Buy me a scarlet flower." The old man laughed at the younger daughter: “Well, what do you want, silly, in a scarlet flower? Is there a lot of self-interest in it! I'll buy you better clothes." No matter what he said, he could not persuade her in any way: buy a scarlet flower - and that's all.

The old man went to the fair, bought a dress for his eldest daughter, a shawl for the middle daughter, but he did not find a scarlet flower in the whole city. Already at the very exit he comes across an unfamiliar old man - he carries a scarlet flower in his hands. “Sell me, old lady, your flower!” - “He is not corrupt, but cherished; if your youngest daughter will go for my son - Finista clear falcon, then I will give you a flower for free. The father became thoughtful: not to take a flower - to upset his daughter, but to take it - it will be necessary to marry her off, and God knows whom. Thought and thought, but still took a scarlet flower. “What a trouble! - thinks. “After he gets married, but if he’s not good, you can refuse!”

He came home, gave the eldest daughter a dress, a shawl to the middle one, and gave the little one a flower and said: “I don’t like your flower, my dear daughter, it hurts!” And he himself whispers to her slowly in her ear: “After all, the flower was cherished, and not corrupt; I took it from an unfamiliar old man with the condition of giving you in marriage to his son Finist clear falcon. - “Do not be sad, father,” the daughter answers, “he is so kind and affectionate; flies like a clear falcon through the heavens, and as soon as it hits the damp earth, so will the good fellow become good fellow! - "Do you know him?" - “I know, I know, father! Last Sunday he was at mass, he kept looking at me; I talked to him ... because he loves me, father! The old man shook his head, looked at his daughter so intently, crossed her and said: “Go into the room, my dear daughter! It's time to sleep; the morning is wiser than the evening - after that we will judge!” And the daughter locked herself in the room, lowered the scarlet flower into the water, opened the window, and looks into the blue distance.

Out of nowhere - Finist clear falcon, colored feathers, fluttered in front of her, fluttered into the window, hit the floor and became a fine fellow. The girl was frightened; and then, how he spoke to her, and God knows how cheerful and good at heart became. Until dawn they talked - I don’t know what; I only know that, as it began to dawn, Finist clear the falcon, colored feathers, kissed her, and said: “Every night, as soon as you put a scarlet flower on the window, I will fly to you, my dear! Yes, here is a feather from my wing for you; if you need any outfits, go out on the porch and just wave them to right side- and in an instant everything that your heart desires will appear before you! He kissed her again, turned into a bright falcon and flew away beyond the dark forest. The girl looked after her betrothed, closed the window and lay down to rest. From that time on, every night, as soon as she puts a scarlet flower on the dissolved window, the good fellow Finist clear falcon flies to her.

Here comes Sunday. The older sisters began to dress up for mass. “What are you going to wear? You don't even have updates! - say the youngest. She replies: “Nothing, I’ll pray at home!” The older sisters went to mass, and the little one sits at the window, all soiled, and looks at the Orthodox people that are going to the church of God. She waited for a while, went out onto the porch, waved a colored feather to the right side, and out of nowhere - a crystal carriage, and factory horses, and servants in gold, and dresses, and all sorts of dresses made of expensive semi-precious stones appeared before her.

In a moment, the red-haired girl dressed, got into the carriage and rushed to the church. People look and marvel at her beauty. “It looks like some princess has arrived!” people talk among themselves.

As they sang “It is worthy,” she immediately left the church, got into the carriage and drove back. The Orthodox people went out to stare where she would go; it wasn't there! Long gone. And our beauty just drove up to her porch, immediately waved a colored feather to the left side: in an instant the servant undressed her, and the carriage disappeared from her eyes. She sits as before, as if nothing had happened, and looks out the window as the Orthodox from the church go home. The sisters also came home. “Well, sister,” they say, “what a beauty she was at mass the other day! Just a feast for the eyes, neither in a fairy tale to say, nor to write with a pen! It must be that the princess from other lands came - so magnificent, dressed up!

Another and third Sunday comes; know the red maiden is fooling the Orthodox people, and her sisters, and her father and mother. Yes, for the last time she began to undress and forgot to remove a diamond pin from her braid. The older sisters come from the church, tell her about the beautiful princess and how they look at the smaller sister, and the diamond still burns in her braid. "Ah, sister! What do you have? the girls screamed. - After all, exactly the same kind of pin was today on the head of the princess. Where did you get it from? The red maiden gasped and ran into her room. There was no end to questions, guesses, whispers; and the younger sister is silent to herself and quietly laughs.

So the big sisters began to notice her, began to eavesdrop at the lamp at night, and once overheard her conversation with Finist the Bright Falcon, and at dawn they saw with their own eyes how he fluttered out of the window and flew beyond the dark forest. Evidently, the girls were evil - big sisters: they agreed to put hidden knives on the window of the sister's room for the evening, so that Finist Yasen the Falcon would clip his colored wings. They thought of it - they did it, but the younger sister did not guess, put her scarlet flower on the window, lay down on the bed and fell asleep soundly. Finist clear falcon flew in and how it flutters through the window and cut off its left leg, but the red maiden knows nothing, sleeps so sweetly, so calmly. The clear falcon soared angrily in the sky and flew away beyond the dark forest.

In the morning the beauty woke up, looking in all directions - it’s already light, but there’s no good fellow! As he looks at the window, and sharp knives stick out crosswise on the window, and scarlet blood drips from them on the flower. For a long time the girl burst into bitter tears, spent many sleepless nights at the window of her room, tried to wave a colored feather - all in vain! Neither Finist clear falcon flies nor sends servants! Finally, with tears in her eyes, she went to her father and begged for a blessing. “I’ll go,” he says, “where my eyes look!” She ordered herself to forge three pairs of iron shoes, three iron crutches, three iron caps and three iron sprouts: a pair of shoes on her feet, a cap on her head, a crutch in her hands, and went in the direction from where Finist clear falcon flew to her.

She walks through the dense forest, she walks through the stumps, the iron shoes are already trampled, the iron cap wears out, the crutch breaks, the prosvir is gnawed, and the red maiden goes on and on, and the forest is getting blacker, more and more often. Suddenly she sees: standing in front of her is a cast-iron hut on chicken legs and constantly turning around. The girl says: “Hut, hut! Stand with your back to the forest, in front of me. The hut turned to face her. She entered the hut, and in it lies the Baba Yaga - from corner to corner, lips on the garden, nose to the ceiling. "Fu Fu Fu! Previously, the Russian spirit could not be seen by sight, not heard by hearing, but now the Russian spirit walks in the free world, appears with one's own eyes, rushes in the nose! Where are you going, red maiden, are you going? Are you whining from business, or are you trying to do business? - “I had, grandmother, Finist clear falcon, colored feathers; my sisters did evil to him. I am now looking for Finist clear falcon. “You have a long way to go, little one! We still have to go to distant lands. Finist is clear falcon, colored feathers, lives in the fiftieth kingdom, in the eightieth state, and already wooed the princess.

Baba Yaga fed and watered the girl with what God sent and put her to bed, and in the morning, as soon as the light began to dawn, she woke her up, gave her an expensive gift - a golden hammer and ten diamond carnations - and punished: “As you come to the blue sea, the bride of Finist is clear of a falcon will go ashore for a walk, and you take the golden hammer in your hands and beat the diamond studs; she will buy them from you, you, red maiden, do not take anything, just ask to see Finist clear falcon. Well, now go with God to my middle sister!

Again the red maiden walks through the dark forest - farther and farther, and the forest is getting blacker and thicker, winding its tops into the sky. Already other shoes are being trampled, another cap is wearing out, the iron crutch is broken and the iron marshmallow is gnawed - and now a cast-iron hut on chicken legs stands in front of the girl and constantly turns around. "The hut, the hut! Stand with your back to the forest, in front of me; I climb into you - eat bread. The hut turned its back to the forest, its front to the girl. He enters there, and in the hut lies Baba Yaga - from corner to corner, lips on the garden, nose to the ceiling. "Fu Fu Fu! Previously, the Russian spirit could not be seen by sight, not heard by hearing, but now the Russian spirit has begun to walk in the free world! Where, red maiden, are you on your way? - "I'm looking for, grandmother, Finist clear falcon." “He wants to get married. Nonche they have a bachelorette party, ”said the Baba Yaga, fed, watered and put the girl to bed, and in the morning wakes her up a little light, gives a golden saucer with a diamond ball and firmly punishes: “As soon as you come to the shore of the blue of the sea, let a ball on a golden saucer, the bride of Finista clear falcon will come to you, she will buy a saucer with a ball; and you don’t take anything, just ask to see Finist clear falcon, colored feathers. Now go with God to my older sister!»

Again the red maiden walks through the dark forest - farther and farther, and the forest is getting blacker and thicker. Already the third shoes are being worn out, the third cap is wearing out, the last crutch is broken, and the last prosvir has been gnawed. There is a cast-iron hut on chicken legs - every now and then it turns. "The hut, the hut! Turn your back to the forest, to me in front; I climb into you - eat bread. The hut turned. Baba Yaga is again in the hut, lying from corner to corner, lips on the garden, nose to the ceiling. "Fu Fu Fu! Previously, the Russian spirit could not be seen by sight, it was not heard by hearing, but now the Russian spirit walks in the free world! Where, red maiden, are you on your way? - "I'm looking for, grandmother, Finist clear falcon." - “Ah, red maiden, he already married the princess! Here's my fast horse, sit down and ride with God! The girl mounted her horse and rushed on, and the forest became less and less.

So the blue sea - wide and spacious - spilled out in front of her, and there, in the distance, golden domes burn like heat on high white-stone towers. “Know, this is the realm of Finist clear falcon!” - thought the girl, sat down on the loose sand and beats the diamond studs with a golden hammer. Suddenly, the princess with her mothers, with nannies, with faithful maids, is walking along the shore, she stopped and began to trade diamond studs with a golden hammer. “Give it to me, princess, just look at Finist clear falcon, I’ll give them to you for nothing,” the girl replies. “Yes, Finist is clear, the falcon is now sleeping, he ordered no one to let him in; well, give me your beautiful carnations with a hammer - so be it, I'll show it to you.

She took a hammer and carnations, ran to the palace, stuck a magic pin in Finist Yasna Falcon's dress so that he would sleep better and not get up more from sleep; after that she ordered the mothers to take the red maiden to the palace to her husband, the clear falcon, and she herself went for a walk. For a long time the girl was killed, for a long time she cried over her beloved; she could not wake him up in any way ... Having walked to her heart's content, the princess returned home, drove her away and took out the pin. Finist is clear the falcon has woken up. “Wow, how long I slept! Here, - he says, - someone was, all over me wept and lamented; only I could not open my eyes - it was so hard for me! “You dreamed about it,” the princess answers, “no one has been here.”

We continue the series of drawings "Birds of Prey". I wanted to write “let's start”, but I realized it - we already drew predators - an owl and an owl.

But they are nocturnal, and now we will talk about those who hunt during the day. I will draw them not only to write another lesson on the site, but also out of personal interest - recently I walked with my son through the forest, and saw the silhouette of a soaring bird in the sky.

ABOUT! This is a bird of prey, - I thought cleverly, but very vaguely. And, having come home, I immediately undertook to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. According to my estimates, it turns out that we saw a falcon.

Yes, that's the one in whose honor people call the heroes "Falcons", girls in fairy tales call their beloved falcons. Do you remember Finista - the Bright Falcon?

Falconry is also widely known - large (noble) falcons and a hare can "take". Smaller falcons make do with catching mice, lizards, or small birds. However, there are also small falcons that feed on insects.

But it's time to move on to the stated topic - how to draw a falcon.

Draw a falcon in flight

Of course, first draw a diagram with a pencil.

The body is compact - elongated, the neck does not stand out - so that together with the head the bird looks like a torpedo. Moreover, the beak is small and strongly bent down. The tail is narrow, in flight it is complex, and not deployed like a fan.

Wings ... here the wings are very large, it is believed that they have a crescent shape. Well, this is how to look, if in three-quarters, then the bend of the wings looks very tricky.

Well, how do we color it? But - the color is light ocher with numerous spots, one might say - pockmarked.

Yeah, powerful bird, admire!

Draw a falcon's head

What immediately catches your eye? - Large Round eyes with an attentive and unkind expression and a beak with a very strongly hooked beak (this is the name of the upper half of the beak).

The head is flattened, the forehead is very sloping - all for streamlining the shape and speed of flight.

Even the contour drawing of the falcon's head is very impressive, and if you color it...

And one more lesson - how to draw a sitting falcon. Or standing?

Step by step drawing - the falcon has landed

The falcon has landed and is vigilantly looking around.

The body is almost straightened, stretched upwards.

The wings are not yet folded on the back and are ready to fly. The paws tenaciously hold on to the stump with powerful claws - well, that's right, it would be very difficult for a falcon with its large wings to take off from flat ground.

The Russian folk tale Feather Finista Yasna Sokol will appeal to children aged 6 years and older. This is a story about strong love. It tells how one girl Maryushka lived in the world and had her fiance Finist-clear falcon, whom she had to free from the captivity of the queen.

Read online Russian folk tale Pyoryshko Finista Yasna Sokol

Once upon a time there was a peasant. His wife died and left three daughters. The old man wanted to hire a worker to help on the farm, but the youngest daughter, Maryushka, said:

No need, father, to hire a worker, I myself will run the household.

OK. Maryushka's daughter began to run the household. She knows everything, everything is good with her. Father Maryushka loved: he was glad that such a smart and hard-working daughter was growing up. And from herself, Maryushka is a beautiful hand-written. And her sisters are envious and greedy, ugly, and fashionistas - fashionistas - sit all day and whiten, and blush, and dress up in new clothes, and their dresses are not dresses, boots are not boots, a scarf is not a scarf.

The father went to the market and asked his daughters:

What do you, daughters, buy, than to please?

Buy a half-shawl, so that the flowers are larger, painted with gold.

But Maryushka stands silent. Her father asks:

What do you want to buy, baby?

And for me, father, buy Finista's feather - the clear falcon.

The father comes, brings half-shawls to his daughters, but he did not find a feather. My father went to the market another time.

Well, - says, - daughters, order gifts.

Buy us each boots with silver horseshoes.

And Maryushka orders again;

Buy me, father, Finist's feather - the clear falcon.

Father walked all day, bought boots, but did not find a feather. Came without a feather. OK. The old man went to the market for the third time, and the eldest and middle daughters say:

Buy us a coat.

And Maryushka asks again:

And for me, father, buy Finista's feather - the falcon is clear.

Father walked all day, but did not find a feather. I left the city, and towards me an old old man:

Hello, grandfather!

Hello Darling! Where are you going on the road?

To myself, grandfather, to the village. Yes, here is my grief: the smaller daughter ordered me to buy Finista's feather - the falcon is clear, but I did not find it.

I have such a feather, yes it is cherished, but for good man no matter what, I'll give it.

Grandfather took out a feather and gives it, but it is the most ordinary. A peasant rides and thinks: "What did Maryushka find good in him?"

The old man brought gifts for his daughters, the eldest and middle dress up, but they laugh at Maryushka:

As you were a fool, so it is. Put your feather in your hair and show off!

Maryushka remained silent, stepped aside, and when everyone had gone to bed, Maryushka threw the feather on the floor and said:

Dear Finist - a clear falcon, come to me, my long-awaited groom!

And a young man of indescribable beauty appeared to her. By morning the fellow hit the floor and became a falcon. Maryushka opened the window for him, and the falcon flew up to the blue sky.

For three days Maryushka welcomed the young man to her; during the day he flies like a falcon through the blue skies, and at night he flies to Maryushka and becomes a good fellow.

On the fourth day, the evil sisters noticed and told their father about their sister.

My dear daughters, - says the father, - look after yourself better!

"Okay," the sisters think, "we'll see how it goes."

They poked into the frame of sharp knives, while they themselves hid, watching. Here is a bright falcon flying. He flew to the window and cannot get into Maryushka's room. He fought and fought, cut his whole chest, but Maryushka was asleep and did not hear. And then the falcon said:

Whoever needs me will find me. But it won't be easy. Then you will find me when you wear out three iron shoes, break three iron staffs, tear three iron caps.

Maryushka heard this, jumped out of bed, looked out the window, but there was no falcon, and only a bloody mark remained on the window. Maryushka wept with bitter tears, washed away the trail of blood with her tears, and became even more beautiful. She went to her father and said:

Do not scold me, father, let me go on a long journey. I'll be alive - we'll see each other, I'll die - so, to know, it's written in the family.

It was a pity for the father to let go of his beloved daughter, but he let go. Maryushka ordered three iron shoes, three iron staffs, three iron caps, and set off on a long journey to look for the coveted Finist - a clear falcon. She walked through a clear field, walked through a dark forest, through high mountains. The birds gladdened her heart with merry songs, the streams washed her white face, the dark forests welcomed her. And no one could touch Maryushka: gray wolves, bears, foxes - all the animals ran to her. She wore out her iron shoes, she broke the iron staff and tore the iron cap. And now Maryushka comes out into the clearing and sees: there is a hut on chicken legs - it is spinning. Maryushka says:

Baba Yaga saw Maryushka and made a noise:

I am looking for, grandmother, Finist-clear falcon.

Oh, beauty, it will be difficult for you to look for him! Your clear falcon is far away, in a distant state. The sorceress queen drugged him with a potion and married him to herself. But I will help you. Here's a silver saucer and a golden egg for you. When you come to the distant kingdom, hire yourself as a worker for the queen. When you finish the work - take a saucer, put a golden egg, it will roll by itself. Will buy - do not sell. Ask Finista - it's clear to see the falcon. Maryushka thanked Baba Yaga and left. The forest darkened, Maryushka became afraid, afraid to even take a step, and the cat met her. He jumped to Maryushka and purred:

Don't be afraid, Maryushka, go ahead. It will be even worse, but you go and go, do not look back.

The cat rubbed his back and was like that, but Maryushka went on. And the forest became even darker.

Maryushka walked, walked, wore out her iron boots, broke her staff, tore her cap, and came to the hut on chicken legs. Around the tyn, on the stakes of the skull, and each skull burns with fire.

Hut, hut, stand back to the forest, front to me! I climb into you, there is bread.

The hut turned its back to the forest, and its front to Maryushka. Maryushka went into the hut and sees: Baba Yaga is sitting there - bone leg, legs from corner to corner, lips in the garden, and the nose has grown to the ceiling.

Baba Yaga saw Maryushka and made a noise:

Pah, pah, smells of Russian spirit! Red girl, are you torturing the case, are you lying from the case?

Did my sister have?

There was a grandmother.

Okay, honey, I'll help you. Take a silver hoop, a gold needle. The needle itself will embroider with silver and gold on crimson velvet. Will buy - do not sell. Ask Finista - it's clear to see the falcon.

Maryushka thanked Baba Yaga and left. And in the forest, knocking, thunder, whistling, skulls illuminate the forest. Maryushka became terrified. Look, the dog is running. The dog said to Maryushka:

Av, av, Maryushka, don't be afraid, dear, go. It will get worse, don't look back.

She said and was. Maryushka went, and the forest became even darker. He grabs her by the legs, grabs her by the sleeves... Maryushka is walking, walking and won't look back. How long, how short, she walked - she wore out the iron shoes, broke the iron staff, tore the iron cap. I went out into the clearing, and in the clearing there was a hut on chicken legs, around the tyn, and horse skulls on stakes, each skull was on fire.

Hut, hut, stand back to the forest, front to me!

The hut turned its back to the forest, and its front to Maryushka. Maryushka went into the hut and sees: Baba Yaga is sitting there - a bone leg, legs from corner to corner, lips in the garden, and her nose has grown to the ceiling. Baba Yaga saw Maryushka and made a noise:

Pah, pah, smells of Russian spirit! Red girl, are you torturing the case, are you torturing from the case?

I am looking for, grandmother, Finist - a clear falcon.

It is difficult, beauty, you will look for him, but I will help. Here is a silver bottom, a golden spindle. Take it in your hands, it will spin itself, the thread will be pulled not simple, but golden.

Thank you, grandma.

Okay, you’ll say thank you later, and now listen to what I’ll punish you: if they buy a golden spindle - don’t sell it, but ask Finista - it’s clear to see the falcon.

Maryushka thanked Baba Yaga and went, and the forest rustled, hummed: a whistle rose, owls swirled, mice crawled out of their holes, and everything was on Maryushka. And Maryushka sees - a gray wolf runs towards her. The gray wolf says to Maryushka:

Do not grieve, - he says, - but sit on me and do not look back.

Maryushka sat on a gray wolf, and only she was seen. Ahead are wide steppes, velvet meadows, honey-colored rivers, kissel banks, mountains rest against the clouds. And Maryushka keeps jumping and jumping. And here is a crystal tower in front of Maryushka. The porch is carved, the windows are patterned, and the queen looks in the window.

Well, - says the wolf, - get down, Maryushka, go and hire yourself as a servant.

Maryushka got down, took the bundle, thanked the wolf and went to the crystal palace. Maryushka bowed to the queen and said:

I don’t know what to call you, how to call you, but will you need a worker?

The queen answers:

For a long time I have been looking for a worker, but one who could spin and weave and embroider.

All this I can do.

Then come on in and get to work.

And Maryushka became a worker. The day is working, and the night will come - Maryushka will take a silver saucer and a golden egg and say:

Roll, roll, golden egg, on a silver platter, show me my dear.

An egg will roll on a silver saucer, and Finist will appear - a clear falcon. Maryushka looks at him and bursts into tears:

My Finist, Finist is a clear falcon, why did you leave me alone, bitter, to cry about you!

The queen overheard her words and says:

Ah, sell me, Maryushka, a silver saucer and a golden egg.

No, - says Maryushka, - they are not for sale. Can I give them to you, if you let Finist - it's clear to look at the falcon.

The queen thought, thought.

Okay, he says, so be it. At night, when he falls asleep, I will show him to you.

Night has come, and Maryushka goes into the bedroom to Finist, the clear falcon. She sees - her heartfelt friend is sleeping soundly. Maryushka looks, does not see enough, kisses her sugary lips, presses her to her white chest, - her heart friend will not wake up sleeping. Morning came, but Maryushka did not wake up dear ...

Maryushka worked all day, and in the evening she took a silver hoop and a gold needle. Sits, embroiders, she says:

Embroider, embroider, pattern, for Finist - clear falcon. It would be something for him to dry himself in the morning.

The queen overheard and said:

Sell me, Maryushka, a silver hoop, a golden needle.

I won’t sell it, says Maryushka, but I’ll give it away, let me only see Finist, the bright falcon.

Okay, - he says, - so be it, at night I will show it to you.

The night is coming. Maryushka enters the bedroom to Finist - I am clear to the falcon, and he sleeps with a sound sleep.

You are my finist, bright falcon, get up, wake up!

Finist is sleeping - a clear falcon in a sound sleep. Maryushka woke him up, but she didn't wake up.

The day is coming. Maryushka is sitting at work, picking up a silver bottom, a golden spindle. And the queen saw: sell, sell!

I won’t sell it, but I can give it away anyway, if you let me stay with Finist, the bright falcon, for at least an hour.

OK. And she thinks: "All the same, she won't wake me up."

The night has come. Maryushka enters the bedroom to Finist - I am clear to the falcon, and he sleeps with a sound sleep.

You are my finist - a clear falcon, get up, wake up!

Sleeping Finist, does not wake up. She woke up, woke up - she couldn’t wake up in any way, and the dawn was close. Maryushka cried:

My dear Finist - a bright falcon, get up, wake up, look at your Maryushka, press her to your heart!

Maryushka's tear fell on Finist's bare shoulder - clear as a falcon and burned. Finist woke up - a bright falcon, looked around and sees Maryushka. He hugged her, kissed her:

Is it really you, Maryushka! She wore out three shoes, broke three iron staffs, wore out three iron caps and found me? Let's go home now.

They began to gather home, and the queen saw and ordered the trumpets to blow, to notify her husband of the betrayal.

The princes and merchants gathered, began to hold advice, like Finista - it’s clear to punish the falcon.

Then Finist the bright falcon says:

Which do you think real wife: Is it the one that loves deeply, or the one that sells and deceives?

Everyone agreed that Finist's wife is a clear falcon - Maryushka.

And they began to live, live and make good. We went to our state, gathered a feast, blew the trumpets, fired the cannons, and there was such a feast that they still remember.

There lived a peasant, and soon he was widowed. He left three daughters. The peasant had a huge household, and he decided to take a worker as an assistant. However, Maryushka dissuaded him, saying that she would help him in everything. Here she works from dawn to dusk, and her sisters only dress up and have fun.

So the father went to the city and asked his daughters what to bring them. The eldest and the middle ask for different outfits and trinkets, only Maryushka needed a feather from Finist, the bright falcon.

On the way home, he met a strange old man, who gave him the treasured feather.

The peasant brought gifts home, the girls rejoice and laugh at their sister.

So everyone went to bed, and she took a feather and uttered the magic words. Since then, the groom appeared to her at night, and in the morning turned into a bird again. The envious sisters tracked her down and set a trap for the falcon. He hurt himself on sharp knives, he could not break through to the girl. Then he said that she would look for him for a long time, having worn out more than one pair of shoes.

Maryushka set out on her journey. She walked, she walked, and she met the hut in which the Baba Yaga lived. She then told her that her fiancé was bewitched by an evil sorceress, turned him into a bird and made her husband by force. The old woman gave the girl a saucer and a golden egg and sent her to a distant kingdom. She also advised her that Maryushka should hire herself to work for the tsarina, and when she finished all the work, she would roll the testicle on a silver platter. And if she is asked to sell this miracle, do not agree.

When the girl was walking dense forest, all the forest animals helped her get there. And the gray wolf even drove her to a magnificent tower. Here she went to work for the ruler.

For her things that the old women gave her, she looked at her betrothed. But she had to do it at night, when he was fast asleep and it was impossible to wake him up. And now she only had a bottom and a spindle, and she gave them away for a meeting with her fiancé. Only Finist does not wake up - a clear falcon. Then the girl sobbed, and one tear fell on him. Her lover woke up. But the sorceress Finista, the clear falcon, does not want to give up. Then, in front of all his subjects, he asked if a real wife could lie? Then everyone realized that Maryushka was fit to be his wife.

They got married and began to live happily.

The work teaches us that each of us can make himself happy by working with perseverance and love for people.
