Ivan Tsarevich and the Grey Wolf Иван Царевич и Серый Волк
There lives a Tsar Berendey.
He has
got three sons.
The youngest son's
name is Ivan.
The Tsar has a wonderful
garden. There grows a tree with golden
apples.
Someone starts coming to the
Tsar’s garden. He steals the apples. The
Tsar becomes very upset about it. He
sends some guards there.
The guards can’t track the thief.
The Tsar stops eating and drinking. He
becomes sad.
His sons try to help him:
“Dear Father, don’t be sad! We will
guard the garden!”
The oldest son says: “Today is
my turn, I’ll go to watch over the
garden.”
And the oldest son goes to guard the
garden.
In the evening, there isn’t a trace of
anyone.
He lies down on the soft grass
and falls asleep.
In the morning the Tsar
asks him:
“Well, tell me, did you see the
thief?”
“No, Father, all night I didn’t sleep,
my eyes never closed, but I didn’t see
anything.”
The next day the middle son goes to
stand guard.
He sleeps the whole night,
but in the morning says that he didn’t
see the thief.
At last it’s time for the youngest
son to stand guard. And Ivan goes to
guard his father’s garden. It’s getting
dark. He is sitting there afraid.
But he
doesn’t want to lie down on the grass.
He knows he may fall asleep.
Midnight comes. Suddenly he sees
the light in the garden. It gets brighter
and brighter. All the garden is bright
now!
He sees the Firebird! It’s sitting on
the apple tree and It’s eating golden
apples! Ivan Tsarevich comes up quietly
to the apple tree...
And he grabs the
bird by the tail. The Firebird flaps its
wings and flies away. But it leaves one
feather in Ivan’s hand.
In the morning Ivan Tsarevich goes to
his father.
“Well, my dear Vanya, did you see
the thief?”
