1. The Magic Swan Geese
§
A couple left their daughter in charge of her younger brother, but she lost track of him, and the magic swan geese snatched him away. She chased after him and came to an oven. It offered to tell her if she ate its rye buns; she scorned them, saying she doesn't even eat wheat buns. She also scorned similar offers from an apple tree, and a river of milk. She came across a little hut built on a hen's foot, in which she found Baba Yaga with her brother; Baba Yaga set her to spin flax and left. A mouse scurried out and said it would tell her what she needed to know if she gave it porridge; she did, and it told her that Baba Yaga was heating the bath house to steam her, then she would cook her. The mouse took over her spinning, and the girl took her brother and fled.
Baba Yaga sent the swan geese after her. She begged the river for aid, and it insisted she eat some of it first; she did, and it sheltered her. When she ran on, the swan geese followed again, and the same happened with the apple tree and the oven. Then she reached home and safety.
2. The Tale of Tsar Saltan
- Of his son, the glorious and mighty knight prince Gvidon Saltanovich, and of the fair Swan-princess –
§
The Tale of Tsar Saltan is a poem by Alexander Pushkin:
Three fair maidens, late one night,Sat and spun by candlelight."Were our tsar to marry me,"Said the eldest of the three,"I would cook and I would bake -Oh, what royal feasts I'd make."Said the second of the three:"Were our tsar to marry me,I would weave a cloth of goldFair and wondrous to behold."But the youngest of the threeMurmured: "If he married me -I would give our tsar an heirHandsome, brave, beyond compare."
The story is of three sisters, of whom the youngest is chosen by Tsar Saltan to be his wife, while he makes the other two his royal cook and royal weaver. They are jealous of course, and when the tsarina gives birth to a son, Prince Gvidon, they arrange to have her and her child ordered to be shut up in a barrel and thrown into the sea. The sea itself takes pity on them, and they are cast up on the shore of a remote island Buyan. The son, having quickly grown while in the barrel, goes hunting. However, he ends up saving an enchanted swan from a kite. The swan creates a city for Prince Gvidon to rule, but he is homesick, and the swan turns him into a mosquito. In this guise he visits Tsar Saltan's court, where he stings his aunt's eye and escapes.
