| Summary: | Tsar Saltan is told that his wife has given birth to a monster, and his boyars are in turn told to drown her and the child. The Tsarina and young Prince Guidon manage to survive being sealed in a barrel and dumped into the sea, and they eventually reach land. Guidon goes in search of food and kills an evil spirit who has been menacing a beautiful swan, who is actually a princess in disguise. The princess has magical powers, and expresses her gratitude towards Guidon by conjuring up a whole city where miracles are part of everyday life. Tsar Saltane eventually hears of this fabulous place and decides to pay a visit. In The fisherman and the goldfish, an old man and woman live very poorly. By good fortune he catches a golden fish, which pleads for its life, offering anything in return. The old man wants nothing, but the old woman, in quick succession, asks for a crust of bread, a new washtub, a new house, to be a governor and a queen, and finally to be Ruler of the Sea. |
