Children's drawings for the fairy tale finist clear falcon. Russian folk tales illustrated by I. bilibin. finist's feather is clear-falcon. Signs of a fairy tale

There was an old man with an old woman. They had three daughters; the smaller one was such a beauty that she could neither 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, give orders - 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 his youngest daughter: “Well, what are you, silly, in a scarlet flower? How much self-interest in him! I'll buy you clothes better. " No matter what I said, I 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 his middle daughter, but he could not find a scarlet flower in the whole city. Already at the very exit he comes across an unfamiliar old man - carrying a scarlet flower in his hands. "Sell me, old lady, your flower!" - “He is not venal, but cherished; If your youngest daughter marries my son - Finista is clear as a falcon, so I will give you a flower for free. The father thought: not to take a flower - to upset his daughter, but to take - he will have to marry her, and God knows for whom. I thought and thought, but I took a scarlet flower. “What a disaster! - thinks. - After it is assigned, but if it is not good, you can refuse! "

I came home, gave my eldest daughter a dress, a middle shawl, and gives the little girl a flower and says: “I don’t like your flower, my dear daughter, it hurts!” And he himself whispers to her on the sly in her ear: “After all, the flower was treasured, not corrupt; I took it from an unfamiliar old man on the condition that I marry you to his son Finist is clear the falcon. " “Don't be sad, father,” the daughter replies, “after all, he is so kind and affectionate; flies like a clear falcon across the skies, and as soon as it hits the damp earth - and so will become a fine fellow! " - "Do you really know him?" - “I know, I know, father! Last Sunday he was at Mass, he was all looking at me; I spoke to him ... he loves me, father! " The old man shook his head, looked at his daughter so intently, made the sign of the cross over her and said: “Go to the light, 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 light, lowered the scarlet flower into the water, opened the window, and looked into the blue distance.

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

Sunday has come. The older sisters began to dress up for mass. “What are you going to wear? You don't have any new clothes either! " - say the youngest. She replies: "Never mind, I'll pray at home!" The older sisters have gone to mass, and the young woman sits at the window all soiled and looks at the Orthodox people who are going to the Church of God. She bided her time, went out onto the porch, waved a colored feather to the right, and out of nowhere appeared before her a crystal carriage, factory horses, a servant in gold, and dresses, and all kinds of adornments made of expensive semi-precious stones.

In a minute the red girl got dressed, got into the carriage and rushed to the church. The people look and marvel at her beauty. "Apparently some princess has arrived!" - people say among themselves.

When they began to sing "Worthy," she immediately left the church, got into the carriage and drove back. The Orthodox people went out to take a look where she was going; but it was not so! For a long time, the trace is gone. And our beauty just drove up to her porch, immediately waved a colored feather to the left: in an instant the servant undressed her, and the carriage disappeared from her eyes. She still sits as if nothing had happened and looks out the window as Orthodox Christians go home from church. The sisters also came home. “Well, sister,” they say, “what a beauty she was at mass today! Just a feast for the eyes, neither in a fairy tale, nor to write with a pen! The princess must have come from other lands - so magnificent, dressed up! "

Another and third Sunday comes; Know the red maiden fooling the Orthodox people, and her sisters, and father and mother. Yes, for the last time I began to undress and forgot to take out a diamond pin from her braid. The older sisters come from the church, tell her about the beautiful princess and how they will look at the little sister, and the diamond is still burning in her braid. “Ah, sister! What do you have? the girls shouted. - After all, exactly such a pin was on the head of the princess today. 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 laughs slowly.

So the big sisters began to notice her, they began to eavesdrop at the light at night, and once overheard her conversation with Finist as a clear falcon, and at dawn they saw with their own eyes how he fluttered out of the window and flew into the dark forest. Evidently, there were evil girls - big sisters: they agreed to put hidden knives on the window of their sister's lamp for the evening so that Finist could see the falcon trimmed his colored wings. If they thought about 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 fast asleep. Finist flew in, the falcon is clear, but how it flutters through the window and cut off its left leg, but the red maiden knows nothing, she sleeps so sweetly, so calmly. A clear falcon soared angrily in the skies and flew away behind the dark forest.

In the morning the beauty woke up, looking in all directions - it’s already light, but the good fellow is not there! As he looks at the window, and on the window sharp knives stick out crosswise, and crimson blood drips from them onto the flower. For a long time the girl burst into bitter tears, spent many sleepless nights at the window of her light, tried to wave a colored feather - all in vain! The falcon does not fly, Finist is clear, nor does he send servants! Finally, with tears in her eyes, she went to her father, begged for a blessing. "I will go," he says, "wherever my eyes look!" I ordered myself to forge three pairs of iron shoes, three iron crutches, three iron caps and three iron propsvirs: a pair of shoes on my feet, a cap on my head, a crutch in my hands, and went in the direction from which Finist flew to her the clear falcon.

She walks through the dense forest, walks through the stumps, the iron shoes are trampled, the iron cap wears out, the crutch breaks, the broth has been devoured, but the red maiden keeps walking and walking, and the forest is getting blacker, more and more often. Suddenly she sees: a cast-iron hut on chicken legs stands in front of her and turns incessantly. The girl says: “Hut, hut! Stand with your back to the forest, in front of me. " The hut turned in front of her. I went into the hut, and in it lies Baba Yaga - from corner to corner, lips on the garden bed, nose to the ceiling. "Fu Fu Fu! Before, the Russian spirit could not be seen by sight, could not hear by ear, but now the Russian spirit walks through the free world, appears with its own eyes, rushes into the nose! Where are you going, red maiden, are you holding? Do you get away from business, or do you torture business? " - “I had, granny, Finist clear falcon, colored feathers; my sisters have done him evil. I am now looking for Finista clear falcon. " - “Well you go far, baby! We still have to go far away. Finist is clear a falcon, colored feathers, lives in the fiftieth kingdom, in the 80th state and has already married a princess. "

Baba Yaga fed and watered the girl with what God sent and put her to sleep, and the next 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 punishes: “When you come to the blue sea, Finist's bride is clear of a falcon will go ashore for a walk, and you take a golden hammer in your handles and beat diamond carnations; she will buy them from you, you red maiden, do not take anything, just ask to see Finist is clear the falcon. Well, now go with God to my middle sister! "

Again the red maiden walks in the dark forest - farther and farther, and the forest is blacker and denser, its tops twist into the sky. Already other shoes are worn out, another cap wears out, an iron crutch breaks and an iron breadth is gnawed away - and now a cast-iron hut stands in front of the girl on chicken legs and turns incessantly. “Hut, hut! Stand with your back to the forest, in front of me; I climb into you - eat bread. " The hut turned back to the forest, to the girl in front. He enters there, and in the hut lies Baba Yaga - from corner to corner, lips on the garden bed, nose to the ceiling. "Fu Fu Fu! Before, the Russian spirit could not be seen by sight, could not hear by hearing, but now the Russian spirit has begun to walk in the free world! Where, red maiden, are you keeping your way? " - "I am looking, granny, Finista is clear of the falcon." - “He wants to get married. Now they have a bachelorette party, "Baba Yaga said, fed and watered the girl and put the girl to bed, and the next morning she wakes her up, gives her a golden saucer with a diamond ball and punishes tightly:" As soon as you come to the shore of the blue sea and start rolling ball on a golden saucer, Finist's bride will come out to you, the falcon is clear, will buy a saucer with a ball; and you don’t take anything, just ask Finist to see the clear falcon, colored feathers. Now go with god to mine older sister!»

Again the red maiden walks in the dark forest - farther and farther, and the forest is blacker and denser. Already the third shoes are worn out, the third cap wears out, the last crutch breaks, and the last prosvira is consumed. There is a cast-iron hut on chicken legs - every now and then it turns. “Hut, hut! Turn your back to the forest, in front of me; I climb into you - eat bread. " The hut turned. In the hut again Baba Yaga, lying from corner to corner, lips in the garden, nose to the ceiling. "Fu Fu Fu! Before, the Russian spirit could not be seen by sight, it was impossible to hear by hearing, but now the Russian spirit walks in the free world! Where, red maiden, are you keeping your way? " - "I am looking, granny, Finista is clear of the falcon." - “Ah, red maiden, he has married a princess! Here's my fast horse, sit down and ride with God! " The maiden got on her horse and rushed on, and the forest became less and less frequent.

So the blue sea - wide and wide - spilled out in front of it, and there, in the distance, like heat, golden domes burn on high white-stone towers. "To know, this kingdom of Finist is clear of the falcon!" - thought the girl, sat down on the loose sand and beat the diamond carnations with a golden hammer. Suddenly the princess is walking along the shore with her mothers, with nannies, with faithful maids, she stopped and, well, sell diamond carnations with a golden hammer. “Let me, princess, just look at Finist, the falcon is clear, I'll give them to you for nothing,” the girl replies. “Yes, Finist is clear the falcon is now asleep, he didn’t tell anyone 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's dress, so that he slept better and did not get up from sleep more; after she ordered the mothers to escort the red maiden to the palace to her husband, I am clear to the falcon, and she went for a walk. For a long time the maiden was killed, for a long time she wept over the darling; could not wake him up in any way ... Having walked enough, the princess returned home, drove her away and took out a pin. Finist is clear the falcon woke up. “Wow, how long I slept! Here, - he says, - someone was, everyone was crying and wailing over me; only I could not open my eyes - it was so hard for me! " “You dreamed it in your dream,” the princess replies, “no one has been here.”

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

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

ABOUT! This is a bird of prey, - I thought intelligently, but very vaguely. And, having come home, she immediately began to fill in the gaps in her 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. Finista - Clear Falcon, remember?

Falconry is also widely known - large (noble) falcons and hares can "take". Smaller falcons get by 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.

How to draw a falcon in flight

Of course, let's first draw the outline in 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 downward. The tail is narrow, folded in flight, and not unfolded like a fan.

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

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

Yeah, powerful bird, you will admire!

How to draw a falcon head

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

The head is flattened, the forehead is very sloping - everything for a streamlined shape and speed of flight.

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

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

Phased drawing - the falcon has landed

The falcon has landed and is looking around vigilantly.

The body is almost straight, extended 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, right, it would be very difficult for a falcon to take off from flat ground with its large wings.

The Russian folk tale, Feather Finista is clear for the falcon, will appeal to children aged 6 and over. This tale is about strong love. It tells how one girl Maryushka lived in the world and had a fiancé Finist, the clear falcon, whom she had to free from the captivity of the queen.

Read online the Russian folk tale Feather Finista Yasna Sokol

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

There is no need, father, to hire a worker, I myself will run the household.

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

Father went to the market and asks his daughters:

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

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

And Maryushka stands silent. Her father asks:

What do you want, daughter, to buy?

And to me, father, buy Finist's feather - the falcon is clear.

Father arrives, brings the daughters half-hats, but he could not find a feather. Father went to the market another time.

Well, - he says, - daughters, order gifts.

Buy us each pair of boots with silver shoes.

And Maryushka orders again;

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

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

Buy us a coat.

And Maryushka again asks:

And my father, buy Finist's feather - the falcon is clear.

Father walked all day, but he could not find a feather. He left the city, and an old old man met:

Great, grandpa!

Hello, sweetie! Where are you taking the road?

To yourself, grandfather, to the village. But my grief: my younger daughter ordered me to buy Finist's feather - the falcon is clear, but I did not find it.

I have such a feather, yes it is cherished, but for kind person, wherever it went, I will give it.

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

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

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

Maryushka kept silent, stepped aside, and when everyone lay down to sleep, Maryushka threw a feather on the floor and said:

Dear Finist - clear falcon, come to me, my fiancé awaited!

And a fellow 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 away to the blue sky.

For three days Maryushka welcomed the young man; by day he flies like a falcon across the blue sky, and by nightfall he flies to Maryushka and becomes a good fellow.

On the fourth day, the evil sisters noticed and talked to the father about the sister.

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

“Okay,” the sisters think, “let's see what happens next.”

They stuck sharp knives into the frame, and hid themselves, looking. Here is a clear falcon flying. He flew to the window and cannot get into Maryushka's room. He fought, fought, cut his whole chest, but Maryushka sleeps and does 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, break three iron caps.

Maryushka heard this, jumped out of bed, looked out the window, but the falcon was gone, and only a trail of blood remained on the window. Maryushka cried with bitter tears, washed away the bloody trail 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 you, I'll die - so, to know, it is written in the family.

It was a pity for the father to let his beloved daughter go, but he let her go. Maryushka ordered three iron shoes, three iron staffs, three iron caps and set off on a long journey, looking for the desired Finist - the falcon is clear. She walked in a clear field, walked in a dark forest, high mountains. Birds gladdened her heart with cheerful songs, streams washed their white face, dark forests welcomed her. And no one could touch Maryushka: gray wolves, bears, foxes - all the animals ran to her. She wore out the iron shoes, broke the iron staff, and broke 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 began to rustle:

I am looking, grandmother, Finista is a clear falcon.

Oh, beauty, it will be difficult for you to find him! Your clear falcon far away from the land, in the far away state. The queen-sorceress drank him with a potion and married herself. But I'll help you. Here's a silver saucer and a golden testicle. When you come to the distant kingdom, hire a worker for the queen. When you finish your work, take a saucer, put in a golden egg, it will roll by itself. If they buy, don't sell. Ask Finist - it's clear to see the falcon. Maryushka thanked Baba Yaga and went. The forest has darkened, Maryushka became scared, she is afraid even to step, and the cat is going to meet 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 its back and was like that, and Maryushka went on. And the forest became even darker.

Maryushka walked, walked, worn 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 is burning with fire.

Hut, hut, stand with your back to the forest, in front of me! I have to climb into you, there is bread.

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

Baba Yaga saw Maryushka and began to rustle:

Ugh, ugh, it smells of the Russian spirit! Red girl, are you trying to do it?

Did my sister have it?

Was, grandmother.

Okay, beauty, I'll help you. Take a silver hoop, a gold needle. The needle itself will embroider in silver and gold on crimson velvet. If they buy, don't sell. Ask Finist - it's clear to see the falcon.

Maryushka thanked Baba Yaga and went. And in the forest, knocking, thunder, whistling, skulls illuminate the forest. Maryushka felt scared. Lo and behold, the dog is running. The dog said to Maryushka:

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

She said and was like that. Maryushka went, and the forest became even darker. She grabs her legs, grabs her sleeves ... Maryushka walks, walks and does not look back. Whether it was long or short, I wore out the iron shoes, broke the iron staff, broke the iron cap. I went out into the clearing, and in the clearing there is a hut on chicken legs, around the tyn, and horse skulls on stakes, each skull is on fire.

Hut, hut, stand with your back to the forest, in front of me!

The hut turned to the forest with its back, and to Maryushka in front. Maryushka went into the hut and saw: Baba Yaga was sitting there - a bone leg, legs from corner to corner, lips on the garden bed, and her nose had grown to the ceiling. Baba Yaga saw Maryushka and began to rustle:

Ugh, ugh, it smells of the Russian spirit! Red girl, are you trying to do it?

I am looking, grandmother, Finista - the falcon is clear.

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

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 Finist — it’s clear to see the falcon.

Maryushka thanked Baba Yaga and went, and the forest began to rustle, hum: a whistle arose, owls whirled, mice climbed out of their holes, and everything on Maryushka. And Maryushka sees - a gray wolf is running towards. The gray wolf says to Maryushka:

Don't worry, he says, but sit on me and don't look back.

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

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

Maryushka climbed 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 dignify you, but will you need a worker?

The queen answers:

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

All this I can do.

Then come in and sit down to work.

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

Roll, roll, golden egg, on a silver saucer, show me my darling.

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

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

The queen overheard her words and says:

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

No, - says Maryushka, - they are not for sale. I can give them to you, if you will allow Finist to see the falcon.

The queen thought, she thought.

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

Night fell, and Maryushka goes into the bedroom to Finist, the clear falcon. She sees - her heart friend is sleeping in a deep sleep. Maryushka looks, does not see enough, kisses sugar on the lips, presses a white one to her chest - a heart friend will not awaken asleep. Morning came, and Maryushka did not get her sweetheart ...

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 - the falcon is clear. It would be something for him to dry off in the morning.

The queen overheard and says:

Sell \u200b\u200bme, Maryushka, a silver hoop, a gold needle.

I won’t sell, ”says Maryushka,“ but I’ll give it up, let me only meet Finist - a clear falcon.

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

The night is coming. Maryushka enters Finist's bedroom — I’m clear to the falcon, and he sleeps in a deep sleep.

Finist you are my, clear falcon, rise, wake up!

Finist sleeps - a lucid falcon in sound sleep. Maryushka woke him up - she didn't wake him up.

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

I won't sell it, but I can give it up anyway, if you will allow me to spend at least an hour with Finist, a clear falcon.

Okay. And she herself thinks: "It won't wake up all the same."

Night has come. Maryushka enters Finist's bedroom - I am clear to the falcon, and he sleeps in deep sleep.

Finist you are my clear falcon, arise, wake up!

Finist sleeps, does not wake up. Woke me up, woke me up - I just couldn't wake up, and dawn was near. Maryushka cried:

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

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

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

They began to get ready for home, and the queen saw and ordered to trumpet the trumpets, to notify her husband about the betrayal.

Princes and merchants gathered, they began to keep the advice, like Finist - it is clear to punish the falcon.

Then Finist the clear falcon says:

Which, in your opinion, real wife: Is it the one that loves deeply, or the one that sells and deceives?

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

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

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

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

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

The peasant brought gifts home, the girls rejoice and make fun of his 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 he turned into a bird again. The envious sisters tracked her down and set a trap for the falcon. He kicked himself against sharp knives, could not break through to the girl. Then he said that she would look for him for a long time, wearing more than one pair of shoes.

Maryushka set off. She walked, walked, and she came across a hut in which Baba Yaga lived. She then told her that her fiance 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 be hired to work for the queen, and when she finished all the work, she would start rolling the testicle on a silver platter. And if she is asked to sell this miracle, disagree.

When the girl walked along deep forest, all the animals in the forest helped her to get there. And the gray wolf even drove her to the magnificent tower. Here she went to work for the ruler.

For her things, which 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 the bottom and the spindle, and she gave them away for meeting with the groom. Only Finist does not wake up - a clear falcon. Here the girl sobbed, and one tear fell on him. Her lover woke up. But the sorceress Finist, the clear falcon, does not want to give up. Then, in front of all his subjects, he asked if a real spouse could lie? Then everyone understood that Maryushka was good enough for him.

They got married and began to live happily.

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