Perhaps, it is the Tale of Tsar Saltan that is the most popular and beloved by many works from childhood. It is difficult to find a person who has never read this tale and has not watched the famous film of the same name. Thanks to the skill of A.S. Pushkin, this work is in demand to this day. It is perfect for school essays, so we suggest you recall the summary.
(386 words) Three sisters lived in a distant state. Once they spun and told what they would do if they became queens. The first sister said that she would have arranged a magnificent feast. The second - would weave canvases, and the third would give birth to a hero. At that moment, the brave king Saltan stood under the window. He decided to take his third sister as legal wives, and to punish the other two. The eldest offered to become a cook in the palace, the middle - a weaver.
Soon, the newly-made wife gives birth to Saltan's son - the glorious prince Gvidon. However, the sisters decided to teach her a lesson, so they wrote to the king that his beloved had given birth to an “unknown animal”. Saltan ordered to wait for his return, but they quickly put the queen and the prince in a barrel and threw them into the open sea.
After a considerable number of trials, the barrel is thrown ashore, and from there the grown-up Guidon and his mother come out. Immediately, the young prince rescues the swan, who promises to help him at the right time. After that, a large city appears on a deserted island. It is Gwydon who becomes his ruler.
Once merchants swim by the island who admire its beauty. They immediately tell Saltan about this discovery. The king decides to visit this city immediately, but the cook's sister tells him about the existence of a squirrel that gnaws precious nuts. Upon learning of this, Saltan refuses his trip. Unable to withstand such behavior, Guidon in the image of a mosquito stings his aunt in his right eye. After that, the prince asks the swan to move this unusual squirrel to his city.
The merchants again send Guidon’s invitation to Saltan, but this time the sisters are doing everything possible to ensure that this trip does not take place. The weaver talks about the existence of 33 heroes who come out of the sea with Uncle Chernomor. Guidon in the image of a fly stings her in the left eye, and afterwards tells the swan about what happened. After a while, 33 heroes together with Chernomor appear in the city.
When Saltan is going to visit the wonderful island for the third time, the bridegroom Babarikha tells him about the princess, whose beauty conquers everyone. For this, a bumblebee stings in her nose, into which Gvidon turned with the help of a swan.
Arriving on the island, the young prince notifies everyone that he would like to marry this princess, without even realizing that she was always with him. She turned out to be a white swan, which Guidon had saved at the very beginning.
When Tsar Saltan found out this good news, he could not help but come to the city. Upon arrival, he immediately recognized his wife and son. In honor of this glorious event, a magnificent feast was arranged, and the sisters, along with Baba Babarikha, were forgiven.
