What is The Tale of Tsar Saltan about?
The protagonist of The Tale of Tsar Saltan is the young Prince Gvidon, the son of Tsar Saltan. When he was born, by the evil will of the envious aunts, he and his mother, secretly from the king, were thrown into the sea in a closed barrel. While the barrel was floating, Gvidon grew up. Soon the barrel was thrown onto a deserted shore and the prince went hunting. He shot the kite and saved the swan princess from death.
The swan princess repaid with kindness and a large and beautiful city appeared on the deserted island, where Gvidon began to rule. Trade ships sailing past began to enter the city port. One of them sailed to the kingdom of Saltan. Gvidon wanted to see his father. The swan princess turned him into a mosquito, and Prince Gvidon in this guise sailed on a merchant ship to his native places. Flying like a mosquito near the throne of his father, he heard how the merchants conveyed his invitation to Tsar Saltan. But his aunts, a weaver and a cook, began to dissuade the king from the trip. They advised to go to the place where the squirrel lives, which gnaws golden nuts with emerald kernels. The mosquito-prince stung the cook in the eye and flew away from the palace.
Returning, the prince told the swan princess about the wonderful squirrel, and she arranged for such a squirrel to live with Guidon in the city. Passing merchants brought the news of the miraculous squirrel to Tsar Saltan. Together with them, in the form of a fly, Gvidon again visited his native places. This time, the takchikha began to dissuade Tsar Saltan from the trip. She told about another miracle - how thirty-three heroes come out of the sea and their uncle Chernomor leads them. Prince Gvidon, in the form of a fly, stung the weaver in the eye.
Returning home, he told the swan princess about the heroes, and she called the heroes, who were her brothers, together with Uncle Chernomor, to serve Prince Gvidon.
For the third time, when the merchants again invited Tsar Saltan to Prince Gvidon, the matchmaker Babarikha began to dissuade him. She spoke about a beautiful princess living beyond the sea. Prince Gvidon, who was present at the story in the guise of a bumblebee, stung Babarikha in the nose and returned home.
He told the swan about the beautiful princess and about his desire to marry her. And the swan turned into that very beautiful princess. With the blessing of Gvidon's mother, the wedding took place.
Through passing merchants, Prince Gvidon once again sent Tsar Saltan an invitation to visit his island. And soon he arrived with all his retinue, saw with his own eyes the miracles that the merchants told about. Immediately he recognized his wife in the mother of Prince Gvidon and realized that Gvidon was his son. To celebrate, they did not punish the weaver, the cook and the matchmaker, but sent them home.
Now you know what is the main idea of Pushkin's fairy tale about Tsar Saltan.
Written by Pushkin A.S. based on Russian folk tales told to him in early childhood by his nanny Arina Rodionovna.
The summary of the tale of Tsar Saltan is as follows.
One late evening in a small hut, three sisters were sitting at needlework. The sisters, talking among themselves, dream of becoming queens. The first of them dreams of making a feast for the whole world. The second sister is to weave canvases for the whole human world. The third sister is to give birth to a son-hero for the father-king. At this moment, Tsar Saltan himself enters the hut. Before that, he had overheard the conversation of the sisters under the window. Most of all, Saltan liked the dream of the third sister, who wanted to give birth to a hero. It is to the third sister that Saltan proposes to become queen and give birth to his son. Saltan offers two other sisters to move to live with him in the palace as a cook and a weaver.
The older sisters were offended by Saltan, envied their younger sister. The sisters wrote a letter to the king, who was at war, that the queen gave birth to him "an unknown little animal." The queen herself and the born baby are closed in a barrel and thrown into the sea, referring to a non-existent letter from the king.
Over time, the barrel takes out on a desert island. From the barrel appears the queen and the already grown-up son-prince Gvidon. In order to feed his mother, Gvidon is going hunting. He makes himself a bow and arrows. Goes to the sea to shoot birds. A picture opens before him: a black kite attacked a white swan. The prince kills a kite. The swan, in gratitude for saving his life, promises Gvidon his help. A miracle city appears on an empty island, Gvidon becomes the ruler of the city.
Sea merchants sail past the island and admire the beauty of the new city. Upon arrival at Buyan Island, the merchants tell Tsar Saltan about the miraculous city and invite him to visit on behalf of Prince Gvidon. The prince himself, having turned into a mosquito with the help of a swan, sails with the merchants to his father and listens to this conversation.
But the evil sisters, the cook and the weaver, tell Saltan about a new wonder of the world: a dancing and singing squirrel that lives under a spruce in a crystal house. The squirrel gnaws nuts with emeralds and golden shells. Tsar Saltan, having heard about a new miracle, refuses to go to Prince Gvidon. The mosquito bites the aunt in the eye for this. Prince Gvidon tells the white swan about the magic squirrel. A singing squirrel appears in a crystal house under the fir tree near Prince Gvidon.
The next time, the merchants tell Tsar Saltan about the singing squirrel and convey a new invitation from Prince Gvidon. The prince himself, having turned into a fly with the help of a swan, sails with the merchants to his father and listens to this conversation. Evil sisters tell about another miracle: about thirty-three heroes emerging from the sea, led by uncle Chernomor. Tsar Saltan, having heard about a new miracle, refuses to go to Prince Gvidon. For this, the fly bites the aunt in the eye again. Prince Gvidon tells the white swan about thirty-three heroes. And thirty-three heroes appear on the island, headed by uncle Chernomor.
And again, the merchants tell Tsar Saltan about miracles, about thirty-three heroes and convey a new invitation from Prince Gvidon. The prince himself, having turned into a bumblebee with the help of a swan, sails with the merchants to his father and listens to this conversation. Evil sisters tell about another miracle: about the princess, who eclipses "the light of God by day" with a moon under her scythe and a burning star in her forehead. Tsar Saltan, having heard about a new miracle, refuses to go to Prince Gvidon. The bumblebee bites her aunt in the nose for this. Prince Gvidon tells the white swan about the beautiful princess. The swan again fulfills the wish of Prince Gvidon, because the princess with a star in her forehead is she!
As a result, Tsar Saltan sets off on a journey to the island of Prince Gvidon. Upon arrival, he recognizes his wife in the queen, and his son in the prince. With great joy, he forgives the evil sisters. A merry feast is arranged for the whole world, everyone heals happily and richly!

One late evening, three sisters, as usual, were sitting in their small hut doing their favorite craft, needlework. And then the sisters started talking, they all wanted to be queens. The first dreamed of marrying the king, then organizing a feast so that they could walk around the world, the second would weave cloths for all people, and the third would like to give birth to a son for the king. While each was thinking about her own, Tsar Saltan stood under their windows and eavesdropped. He entered the hut, he immediately liked the third girl, who talked about giving birth to a son. Saltan offers this girl to become his wife and give birth to a hero. He also invites other sisters to go to the palace, only as a cook and weaver.
This conversation offended the two sisters, they considered it unfair that the youngest gets the best and took offense at Saltan.
After a certain time after the wedding, the younger sister nevertheless gave birth to her first-born son, but at the time of the birth the king was at war. The sisters decided to go to meanness, they sent a letter to Saltan, which says that the girl gave birth to an incomprehensible "little animal". After such news, an order was issued to throw the princess and her son into the sea, slaughtering them in barrels.
The barrel floats in the sea for a long time and ends up on an unknown island. The queen got out of the barrel, and the adult son Gvidon. Gvidon takes care of his mother, and in order to feed her, he goes hunting, taking arrows with him. He goes to the sea to catch a bird. But there he notices that a large kite has attacked a white swan.
Gvidon rushes to help and kills the kite. The rescued swan, thanks to her hero, tells Gvidon that she is ready to help in any request or question. In an instant, a city will grow on the island, which Gvidon should rule. Merchants have often sailed along this island and still cannot stop admiring the fabulous new view. And then one day, returning to Tsar Saltan, the merchants tell about a new city on a previously unknown island and call him there on behalf of Gvidon. When the king should arrive on the island, then his son turns into a mosquito for this time, so that you can overhear what his father and merchants are talking about.
Two older sisters decided to tell Saltan about the so-called miracle: a squirrel that lives under the spruce, dances, sings and gnaws difficult nuts. Saltan, having learned about this, does not want to go to Gvidon. The swan turns Gvidon into a mosquito and he flies and bites his aunt in the eye. Gvidon goes to the white swan and tells about the squirrel, and after that a squirrel appears under Gvidon's spruce.
After some time, the merchants again invite Saltan to visit the island, and told the king about the squirrel. The prince again wants to eavesdrop on the conversation and turns into a fly, after which he flies to eavesdrop on what will be discussed. The sisters told about another miracle, about the heroes, headed by the formidable Chernomor. Saltan once again does not go to the island. The fly bit the aunt in the eye again. Gvidon goes to the swan and tells her about the heroes, and after that all the heroes and uncle Chernomor appear on the island.
Once again, the merchants told the Sultan about the incomprehensible miracles that take place on Buyan and again invite him to visit. The prince once again turns into a bumblebee and flew off to listen to the merchants and his father. This time, the evil sisters told that the beautiful princess supposedly lives on the island, and Saltan refuses to go.
The bumblebee bit the aunt on the nose. Gvidon told the swan about the princess, and the princess immediately appears on the island. As a result, Saltan nevertheless agrees to sail to a new grrod and sets off on the road. Arriving on the island, he meets his wife and son, recognizes them. And because of great joy, he forgets about the insult to the evil sisters and forgives them. After that, the king ordered a celebration for the whole world. At the end of the fairy tale, all happy people have fun, and of course they live happily ever after.

- Summary of Aitmatov Soldatenok
Avalbek first saw his father, who died in the war, when he was 5 years old. It all happened while watching a movie in a state farm shed by the road. He came there with his mother, a local telephone operator
The novel begins in 1930. At a time when collectivization flourished. When the wealthy peasants, the so-called kulaks, were deprived of everything that they had earned with their overwork.
On a winter evening, three sisters in the village room are sitting at the yarn. The eldest, along with the middle one, boast of their stoutness and beauty, while the younger sister is silent. The sisters began to dream of what each of them would become famous for if she married the king. The older sister says that she would set an unprecedented feast, the middle sister would single-handedly weave canvases for the whole world, and the younger one promised to give birth to a heroic son for the father-king.
Tsar Saltan hid under the window and heard the conversation of the sisters. He appears in the room and announces his decision: all three will live in the palace, the eldest will become a cook, the middle one will be a weaver, and the youngest will be his wife. The tsar left with his younger sister, and the older and middle sisters, together with Babarikha, began to think about how to upset the happiness of their sister, and it occurred to them to deceive Saltan.
The king left for the war, while the young queen Militris gave birth to a son. Life in the royal palace flows peacefully. Only the queen has no peace: she is worried about the lack of news from Tsar Saltan. The buffoon tries to entertain her, but neither jokes nor fairy tales amuse the queen, nor does she rejoice at the feigned kindness of the sisters who come to her with gifts. Finally, the long-awaited messenger arrives. Cunning conspirators intercepted him, made him drunk and changed Saltan's letter.
In embarrassment, the clerks read the order, which says that "the queen and offspring" should be "thrown in a barrel into the abyss of waters." The people hesitate in indecision, but the threats of the triumphant sisters and Babarikha do their job. Milithris and the prince are put into a barrel and let into the sea.
The wave brought the barrel to the deserted coast of Buyan Island. Militris complains plaintively about her fate, and the prince, who has already noticeably grown up, rejoices in the bright world and frolics merrily. He made a bow, and now he goes in search of game, and suddenly notices a huge kite chasing a swan, accurately shoots an arrow and kills an insidious bird. The queen and the prince are astonished to see that the swan princess has come out of the sea and has spoken to them in human language. She said that she would definitely repay kindness for kindness and disappeared. The night has come. Militrisa and the prince fell asleep. In the first rays of the morning dawn, they saw how, as if by magic, a city appeared. Cannon fire and a festive bell ringing are heard, a solemn procession is shown from the gate. Gvidon is joyfully greeted by the inhabitants of the fabulous city of Candy, they ask him to become their ruler.
Gvidon becomes a prince, but he yearns for his father. With sadness, he looks after the ship leaving for the kingdom of Saltan. Guidon calls the Swan-bird. She turns him into a bumblebee, he catches up with the ship, wanting to see his father.
The ship arrived at the shores of the Saltanov kingdom. The king invites shipbuilders to visit, treats them and asks about what they saw in foreign countries, what miracles happened to them during their travels. Shipbuilders tell about the magical city of Lollipop, which appeared on a desert island, about a squirrel gnawing golden nuts, about Gvidon, the glorious mighty prince, and about thirty-three of his sea knights. Saltan is surprised, he wants to visit this amazing city, the Weaver and the Cook dissuade him in anxiety. Babarikha says that there is not one miracle in Ledenets, an overseas princess of extraordinary beauty. The bumblebee, enraged by the intrigues of the conspirators, stings all of them in turn and flies away, causing a general commotion.
Guidon again wanders by the sea, overwhelmed by sadness. The story of Babarikha does not come from his memory. And in anguish, Gvidon calls the Swan-bird, tells her about his love for an unknown beauty and asks him to help. The swan-bird is touched by Gvidon's excitement, she turns into a beautiful Princess, to whom his ardent dreams were directed. Queen Militris gives her blessing to the young couple.
Gvidon and Militris are waiting for the arrival of Saltan in joyful impatience. Finally, his fleet appeared in the distance. The king with his retinue enters the palace, greeted by the people and the ringing of bells. The wonders of the city of Ledenza are on display. The astonished tsar and his guests are watching a magical squirrel in a crystal house, thirty-three sea heroes pass in front of them, and the beautiful princess Swan also appears. Finally, Queen Militris appears - the beloved wife of Saltan. With tears, the tsar embraces his wife and son, and forgives the queen's treacherous sisters in joy.
Pushkin, when writing some of his works, used the stories of his nanny Arina Rodionovna. The poet listened to her fairy tales and folk songs, being already an adult, during exile in the village of Mikhailovsky and wrote down. The “Tale of Tsar Saltan”, created by him after 5 years, teaches something, no matter how the victory of good over evil, like most folk tales.
The plot of a fairy tale for children
The sisters spun at the window and dreamed of marrying the king. One, if she becomes a queen, wanted to arrange a big feast, the other to weave linen, and the third wanted to give birth to the prince's son. They did not know that the king was listening to them under the window. He chose as his wife the one who wanted to give birth to a son. The sisters appointed at the court to the position of cook and weaver harbored a grudge and decided to destroy the queen. When she gave birth to a beautiful boy, the evil sisters sent a letter with false accusations to Saltan. The king returned from the war and did not find his wife. The boyars had already imprisoned the queen and her son in a barrel, and threw them into the waves of the sea.
"The Tale of Tsar Saltan", which teaches children - faith in miracles, a city appeared on an empty island
The barrel washed up on the shore of the island. An adult prince and his mother came out of it. While hunting, a young man protected a swan from a kite. The swan turned out to be a sorceress girl, she thanked Tsarevich Gvidon by creating a city for him in which he became king.
From the merchants who sailed past the island, Gvidon learned that they were heading to the kingdom of his father. He asked to give Tsar Saltan an invitation to visit. Gvidon extended the invitation three times, but the tsar refused. Finally, having heard from the merchants that a beautiful princess lives on the island where he was invited, Saltan sets off and happily reunites with his family.
