Princess Frog

In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there was a king, and he had three sons. The youngest was called Ivan Tsarevich.
Once the king called his sons and said to them:

“My dear children, you are all old now, it's time for you to think about brides!
- For whom should we, father, marry?
“And you take an arrow, draw your tight bows and shoot arrows in different directions. Where the arrow falls - there and woo.

The brothers went out into the wide paternal courtyard, pulled on their tight bows and fired.
The older brother shot the arrow. An arrow fell on the boyar yard, and the boyar daughter raised it.
The middle brother shot the arrow - the arrow flew to the rich merchant in the yard. Raised her merchant daughter.
Ivan Tsarevich fired an arrow - his arrow flew straight into the swampy swamp, and the frog-frog raised it ...

When the older brothers went to look for their arrows, they immediately found them: one in the boyar's mansion, the other in the merchant's yard. And Ivan Tsarevich could not find his arrow for a long time. For two days he walked through the forests and mountains, and on the third day he entered a swampy swamp. He looks - a frog-frog sits there, holding his arrow.

Ivan Tsarevich wanted to run away and abandon his find, and the frog says:

—Kva-kva, Ivan Tsarevich! Come to me, take your arrow, and marry me.

Ivan Tsarevich was saddened and replies:

- How will I marry you? People will laugh at me!
“Take it, Ivan Tsarevich, you will not regret it!

Ivan Tsarevich thought and thought, took a frog-frog, wrapped it in a handkerchief and brought it to his kingdom-state.
