Encyclopedia of Fairytale Heroes: "By Pike's Command". Russian folk tale "By the command of the pike" (Klyukhina) A fairy tale by the command of the pike in retelling

The tale of Cinderella

Every girl dreams of growing up, meeting a prince, marrying him and living happily ever after with him. If a girl was born a princess, she doesn't have to worry: Papa King will take care of the applicants, the wedding cortege and a small cozy castle far from the lands belonging to the Ogre family. But we are talking about completely different children.

It's about girls who are not so lucky in life. Girls forced to wash floors, clean pots, sew dresses and do hair for evil sisters. Thousands and thousands of modern Cinderellas spend their best years shifting paperclips in offices, with hairdressing scissors in their hands, behind the counters of cigarette kiosks, washing plumbing fixtures in luxury hotels, returning home with swollen legs from fatigue, with a throat sore from nicotine, with flaky cheap nail polish, descend into a noisy, indifferent, stinking human herd subway, and then find themselves in cold, uncomfortable dorms, communal apartments, rented apartments on the outskirts of the universe, where no one is waiting for them.

And dream, dream, dream of princes.

But, in fact, there is no reason to believe that a miracle is possible anywhere, except for an extremely harmful fairy tale, as well as a huge number of its modern remakes. Some sooner or later humble themselves and acquire a philosophical mindset. So, the heroine of Sandra Bullock in the film "While You Were Sleeping", who sells subway tickets, in response to the remark of a work colleague that she has nothing in her life, utters a phrase remarkable in its demonstrativeness: "I have an apartment, a cat and a TV with a remote control. And that's a lot." The rest are dreaming.

I called this tale extremely harmful. Maybe this is not quite the right wording. It is not a fairy tale that is harmful, but rather the universally prevailing stereotype of its reading. Very briefly, the storyline with reference semantic points can be stated as follows.

1. There lives a kind, hardworking, beautiful girl named Cinderella, mercilessly oppressed by her stepmother and her stepsisters.
2. A ball is planned in the royal palace.
3. A good fairy godmother appears.
4. Cinderella receives for a while a carriage, a luxurious dress and glass shoes as a gift.
5. Cinderella goes to the ball where she meets the prince.
6. After some worries - happy ending.

It goes without saying. that all these gifts of fate fell on the head of the unfortunate (however, already happy) Cinderella for her diligence and good character, as well as her good looks. That is, these three conditions in the popular mind are considered necessary and sufficient for a miracle to happen and virtue to be rewarded.

But Charles Perrault did not say anything of the sort! Let's open the original.

1. The tale begins with the phrase: "A rich man, after the death of his wife, married a widow a second time ..." Cinderella does not come from a shack! The fairy tale does not indicate anywhere how old Cinderella was at the time of her father's second marriage, but, judging by the fact that all the housework immediately fell on her, she had long since left her infancy. It can be assumed that by this time she had already managed to receive a certain education, which girls from decent families received without fail. In any case, at the ball she impressed everyone present with her ability to dance, and nowhere, except in the socialist adaptation of the fairy tale, is it said that she learned this "rubbing the floors."

2. A ball is planned in the royal palace. Note that Cinderella's family receives an invitation to it! That is, this is a family, according to its social status, belonging to the highest stratum of society.

3. Good fairy with a golden credit card magic wand. Surprisingly, it is this link that is usually omitted in the projection of a fairy tale onto reality.

4. The situation in which a modern-day Cinderella arrives at a fashionable party ball in a "beautiful Versace outfit of gold and silver brocade", and her Bentley gilded carriage is accompanied by as many as six footmen, is so out of touch with the realities of modern life that it is either ignored or, as in the film "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts, the functional role of the good fairy is given to the prince himself.

5. A chance meeting with Prince Charming in modern remakes usually takes place in a minimal setting - for example, at Cinderella's place of work. The prince comes to a hotel (where Cinderella works as a maid), or is the owner of a company (where Cinderella works as a secretary), etc., etc.
Acquaintance with the prince in the original source takes place, again, not in a fish shop, a forester's hut, or in a garden against the backdrop of lushly growing cabbages. The first meeting takes place in the palace. "The prince was informed that some young princess had arrived ..." At the same time, everyone is amazed by the "wonderful beauty of the stranger."

Where do you see an immensely promoted misalliance in this story? By and large, this is just a story about the love of a young man and a young girl belonging to the same social stratum, who in a certain period of her life had complex intra-family relationships.

The tale is quoted by: Charles Perrault. Fairy tales. 2007 ed. "Dragonfly-press". Per. I. Medvedkova.

Tom Thumb

Well, this hero has a name! Try tilting it first.

Nominative: who? Tom Thumb
Genitive: who? Boy with thumb

The charm of rhyme is restored only with the help of a grammatical error: whom? Boy with a finger.

What, in fact, does the translator: "boots ... fell on the Boy with a finger just on the leg."

But that's me, in order of harm. Let's move on to the discussion of the story. First, a summary.

1. There lived a woodcutter with his wife and seven sons.
2. Hard times have come, the woodcutter decides to get rid of the children and takes them to the forest.
3. A boy with a finger, thanks to white pebbles, finds his way home.
4. The woodcutter and his wife have children even further, "into the thickest, darkest forest."
5. The boys go astray and end up in the man-eater's house.
6. The ogre decides to make a roast out of the brothers.
7. At night, the Boy with a finger swaps the caps on the heads of the brothers and the golden crowns on the heads of the daughters of the Ogre.
8. In the dark, the Ogre "killed all his daughters" by mistake.
9. The boys are slowly running away.
10. The ogre puts on his walking boots, starts chasing and falls asleep from fatigue on the rock, under which the children are hiding.
11. A boy with a finger steals boots from the Ogre and gets a job as a messenger - a runner.
12. A boy with a finger returns to his parents.

A fairy tale is a tool by which the society passes on to the younger generation approved or at least acceptable norms of public morality and stereotypes of behavior. Consider the text from this point of view.

1. Description of intra-family relationships: "The brothers often offended him and constantly blamed all the dirty work around the house on him." Do you think this evil is punishable anywhere in the text? Not at all. A boy with a finger takes the brothers out of the forest, saves them from the Ogre, sends them home and subsequently supports the whole family on his salary as a royal runner. A kind of embodiment of forgiveness and non-resistance to evil by violence.

2. The stereotype of parental behavior is described simply enchantingly. The good father, "although his heart sank with grief," declares to his wife: "I do not want them to die of hunger before my eyes." That is, not in front of our eyes - this is possible, this is an acceptable way to resolve the situation. And the loving mother eventually agrees with her husband. So it seems that it was Joseph Vissarionovich's favorite fairy tale: "if there is a person - there is a problem, if there is no person - there is no problem."

3. A boy with a finger, having overheard the conversation of his parents, stocks up on white pebbles in a timely manner and takes the brothers out of the forest. Where does "the smartest and most reasonable of all seven" lead them? Yes, back to the parents who just sent them to their deaths. To be honest, I can neither understand nor comment on this logic of the story.

4. When "hunger sets in again," the parents again take their children to the forest, this time taking precautions. The goal was achieved - the children got lost. This suggests that this way of solving the problem is not at all random, chosen under the influence of an emotional outburst, but is a sustainable strategy of behavior.

5. The boys get into the house of the Cannibal. The world is not without good people: the Ogre's wife is trying to hide them from her husband under the bed, while being exposed to serious risks. "So you wanted to deceive me! I should have eaten you myself a long time ago"...

6. Despite the fact that there was "a whole calf, two rams and another half a pig" in the house, the Ogre shows unmotivated cruelty, deciding to make a roast out of the children.

7 and 8. Such an evil can no longer remain unanswered! The smart Thumb Boy answers him properly: the daughters of the Ogre (and the good woman who tried to save her brothers at the risk of her own life), guilty only of the fact that they "ate raw meat" (it is not said anywhere that it was human), why " their faces were red", were stabbed in their sleep by their own father.

How easy it is to form an image of the enemy! Some discrepancy in culinary tastes and some differences in complexion are quite sufficient grounds for this.

9. After that, the brothers "slowly descended into the garden and climbed over the fence." What prevented them from doing this before, without provoking a bloody family genocide, is unclear.

10. The cannibal, driven by his father's grief, rushes about in search of his brothers, who are running - well, you guessed where - towards their home, to their loving parents. Tired, he falls asleep on the rock, under which the brothers took refuge.

11. Kind (he's a positive hero, right?) A boy with a finger decides that the death of seven daughters is not enough punishment for the villain, and steals a family heirloom from the Cannibal - magical walking boots. This wonderful acquisition, even if it was not obtained in a completely legitimate way, allows you to instantly solve problems with employment at the king's court.

12. A boy with a finger returns home to his parents, "and they never knew the need again" ... Well, forgiveness again. How, in fact, do the parents of children differ from the Cannibal? By and large, nothing. In the same way, they tried to kill them from the world.

Thus, the morality of the protagonist and the strategy of his behavior are not determined by the real actions of the other characters. The only factor that regulates his actions and attitude towards the actors is the attribution of himself to a certain part of society within the framework of the dichotomy "friend or foe".

Everything is allowed and forgiven for its own - injustice, attempted murder. In relation to strangers, even such as the wife of the Cannibal, showing kindness and sympathy, anything is permissible.

Puss in Boots

As in the previous post, we will analyze this tale from the standpoint of the norms proposed for assimilation by children in the process of socialization. "A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, a lesson for good fellows."

1. The miller, dying, leaves a cat as a legacy to his youngest son. The son "was inconsolable that he got such rubbish."

2. The son (he is a minor hero in this tale) thinks about his plans for the future: "what to do with your cat? Sew mittens out of his skin?" Good boy, right?

3. The cat, having asked the owner for a bag and boots, goes into the forest to catch rabbits. Having caught the rabbit, the cat takes it to the palace and presents it to the king on behalf of the Marquis of Carabas. Brings game to the king "for two or three months in a row."

4. Having learned that "the king is going to ride along the river bank with his daughter," the Cat advises the owner to bathe in a certain place.

5. The cat deceives the king, passing off the owner as the Marquis of Carabas, and tricks the king into "the best suit" for the miller's son.

6. The cat runs ahead of the royal cortege, and, blackmailing with reprisal ("all of you to powder!"), Forces the peasants working in the field to lie to the king that the land belongs to Mr. Marquis Carabas.

7. The cat comes to the castle to the Cannibal and, playing on the vanity of the latter, provokes him to turn into a mouse, which he immediately eats. About the Cannibal himself in the tale, it is reported that he "possessed nowhere seen riches" and a beautiful castle, was polite, hospitable ("in the big hall they were waiting for a magnificent snack prepared by the Cannibal for his friends") and had some non-trivial abilities (he could turn into different animals). Nothing unsympathetic, except for the name, is visible in the image of the Cannibal.

8. The cat invites the king with his retinue and the owner to the Ogre's castle, passing him off as the castle of the Marquis of Carabas.

9. The king was struck by wealth and "charmed by the good qualities of the Marquis of Carabas." The king marries his daughter to the "Marquis of Carabas".

10. "The cat began to live like a great gentleman and no longer caught mice."

Of all the fairy tales I know, this one seems to me the most amazing. The whole strategy for the success of the protagonist can be described in one phrase:

deceive ingratiate (to the king) - intimidate (peasants in the fields) - lie, lie and lie (to the king) - involve in deception (the owner) - kill and take away property (Ogre) => happy ending

Good fellows, take a lesson!

Quoted in: Charles Perrault. Fairy tales. 2007 ed. Dragonfly Press. Translated by I. Medvedkova.

Since Andrei actually closed his journal, and there are a lot of fairy tales that I want to look at through the eyes of an adult, I want to continue this line of reviews.

Let's re-read together the well-known Russian fairy tale " By magic».

1. Once upon a time there was an old man. He had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya. The brothers work, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, not wanting to know anything. The brothers leave for the fair, and the daughters-in-law send Emelya for water. It is possible to achieve this from a lazy person only by threatening that "they will not bring you presents."

2. Emelya goes to the hole and, having contrived, catches a pike. The pike asks him in a "human voice": "Emelya, let me go into the water, I'll be useful to you." Emelya does not want to let the pike go, assuming that the best use of the pike is to cook an ear out of it. However, the pike manages to persuade the fool by demonstrating his abilities to him - sending buckets home by self-propelled. Parting, the pike tells Emelya a magic phrase: "At the pike's command, at my will," with which he can fulfill all his desires.

3. With the help of this spell, Emelya chop wood, rides into the forest on a sleigh without a horse, passing a bunch of people along the way, cuts trees in the forest and cracks down on people who wanted to punish him for the “rumpled” and “depressed” pedestrians on the way back.

4. The tsar, having heard about Emelin's tricks, sends an officer to him - "to find him and bring him to the palace." Emelya also cracked down on the officer: "The baton jumped out - and let's beat the officer, he took his legs by force."

5. "The king was surprised that his officer could not cope with Emelya, and sends his greatest nobleman." The cunning nobleman persuaded Emelya to come to the tsar, promising him refreshments in the palace and gifts: “the tsar will give you a red caftan, a hat and boots.” Right on the stove, Emelya goes to the royal palace.
The tsar arranges an analysis of the accident: “Something, Emelya, there are a lot of complaints about you! You crushed a lot of people." To which Emelya finds a convincing argument: “Why did they climb under the sled”? After that, he leaves the palace for home, in passing, with the help of a magic phrase, falling in love with the royal daughter.

6. Princess Marya demands from her father that he marry her to Emelya. The tsar again sends a nobleman for Emelya. Having drunk Emelya as an insole, the nobleman brings him to the palace. By order of the tsar, Emelya, together with Marya Tsarevna, was put into a barrel, pitched and thrown into the sea.

7. Waking up, Emelya makes the winds roll the barrel onto the sand. Marya Tsarevna asks to somehow solve the housing problem - "to build any kind of hut." Emel is lazy. But then he nevertheless creates a “stone palace with a golden roof” and a landscape befitting it: “there is a green garden around: flowers bloom and birds sing.” Further, at the request of the princess in love with him, he becomes "a good fellow, a written handsome man."

8. The king, who went hunting, stumbles upon the palace of Emelya. Emelya invites him inside and invites him to a feast. The tsar, not recognizing Emelya in a new guise, is trying to find out who he is. “I am the same Emelya. If I want, I will burn and destroy your entire kingdom, ”the owner replies. Frightened to death, the king gives him his daughter and the kingdom.

Now let's analyze the text. What character traits and patterns of behavior distinguish the main character?

1. The main character is a fool. This is directly stated in the first paragraph of the tale.

2. His laziness is simply incredible. Emelya invariably responds to all requests and demands from those around him with his signature phrase: “But I don’t feel like it.”

3. In addition, and this shows through in every line of the text, Emelya is a person without needs. He wants nothing and sets no goals. Even having received a magic spell in his hands, he uses it exclusively to complete the tasks assigned to him by others - chop wood, come to the palace, build his own housing. The only exception is an attempt to evoke a feeling in Marya the princess.

4. Love for people is clearly not among the virtues of Emelya. Having passed a bunch of people with a sleigh, Emelya does not express any regret. But he easily shifts responsibility to others: they themselves are to blame - why they got caught on the road. And he suppresses attempts to punish him for self-mutilation quickly and harshly with the help of a baton, prudently cut down in the forest. Moreover, the parameters set for the ax left no chance for offenders - the ax cut down the baton "such that it could be lifted by force."

5. Emelya also does not differ in humility and forgiveness. “I will burn and destroy your entire kingdom” - revenge and blackmail in one phrase.

True, a lovely portrait of the protagonist? And it is he who receives everything - beauty, the bride-princess and the kingdom in addition. Just like that, because he was lucky with the pike.

What will we teach the child by reading this fairy tale with him?

P.s. The full text of the tale lies

The protagonist of the tale - Emelya - absorbed both negative and positive qualities of an ordinary Russian guy of his time.

Unknown author

Some fairy tales appear on their own, others are invented by writers. How did the story called "By the Pike" come about? The fairy tale, the author of which is still unknown, is a product of folk art. It had several variations and was told differently in different regions.

The Russian ethnographer Afanasiev, following the example of the Brothers Grimm or Charles Perrault, decided to organize a voyage around the country and collect scattered legends into one voluminous work, so to speak, to systematize the national heritage. He slightly changed the title of the story and generalized the individual elements that differed depending on the region. Thanks to this, the fairy tale "Emelya and the Pike" gained popularity.

The next one who undertook to cut a familiar plot was Alexei Tolstoy. He added literary beauty to the folk epic and returned the old name "By the Pike's Command" to the work. The fairy tale, the author of which tried to make it more interesting for children, quickly scattered around Moscow and St. Petersburg, and local theaters even added a new performance to their repertoire.

Main characters

The main character of this legend is a certain not too quick young guy Emelya. It contains those negative qualities that prevent him from leading a good life:

• frivolity;

  indifference.

However, when he shows his intelligence and kindness, he comes across real luck - a pike from an ice hole.

The second character, literally the antipode of Emelya, is the pike. She is smart and fair. The fish is designed to help the young man in his personal development, to direct his thoughts in the right direction. As expected in such situations, Emelya and pike became friends.

The third hero acts as a villain. The tsar is a busy man who leads a state of many millions, whom Emelya forces with his antics to descend to the common man. The tale "About Emelya and the Pike" endowed him with an envious character.

The Tsar's daughter is a prize for the protagonist for taking the path of correction.

Story

The tale "Emelya and the Pike" begins with an acquaintance with the main character. He is so unintelligent and extremely lazy that everything entrusted to him has to be redone by other people.

Emelya's daughters-in-law interrogated him for help with long persuasion. Nevertheless, as soon as someone promises him a reward for what he does, he will immediately set to work with double strength.

And suddenly, one fine day, Emelya pulls out a magic pike from the hole. She offers him her service in exchange for her life. The guy immediately agrees.

Magic Help

After the pike becomes his magical subordinate, Emelya lives even better than before. Now he does not even have to carry out very simple orders.

Magic powers cut wood, walk on water, and even beat up his enemies. Emelya remains very pleased with what is happening. He is so lazy that he does not even want to get up from the stove. Pike helps him with this too, turning the stove into the first prototype of a mechanical vehicle.

During such walks on horseback, Emelya can crush several peasants who come across along the way. He justifies himself by the fact that people themselves jumped under his stove.

It seems that he has no remorse for what he did. The tale "About Emelya and the Pike" contains a hidden moral.

Tsar and Emelya

Having heard about an unprecedented miracle, a self-propelled stove, and even about the cool temper of its owner, the tsar decides to call Emelya to him.

Reluctantly, the "hero" comes to look at the master's mansions. But this trip changes the whole life of a guy.

In the royal palace, he meets with the queen. At first, she also seems rather wayward and lazy. But Emelya decides that it is time for him to settle down, and wants to call her as his wife.

The master's daughter at first disagrees. The monarch himself opposes such a union, hoping that his daughter will marry only a noble person or a foreign king.

Emelya asks the pike to bewitch the disobedient princess. In the end, the young man gets his way. The girl agrees. They are getting married.

The enraged king locks the couple forever in love in a barrel and throws them into the sea. Emelya asks the pike to save them. She makes the barrel come to the shore, they get out of it.

The guy asks the pike to build a huge palace for himself, and turn him into a hand-written handsome man. Magic fish grants a wish.

Happy newlyweds live in clover until an angry king comes to them. His palace is much smaller than that of Emelya. The protagonist graciously forgives the sovereign for all the past. He invites him to dine with them. During the banquet, Emelya confesses to him who he really is. The king remains amazed by the dexterity and intelligence of the young man. Now he understands that it was such a guy who was supposed to marry his daughter.

"By the Pike's Command" is a kind and instructive tale. Its end does not leave a concrete guide to action. On the contrary, everyone should think for himself and decide for himself what is right in life and what is not worth doing.

“At the command of the pike” (Russian fairy tale): analysis

This story is somewhat reminiscent of the dream of the Slavic peoples to get everything they want with the help of magical powers, without straining too much.

At the same time, Emelya managed to catch a pike only on his own, when he nevertheless began to do at least something and honestly.

A complete quitter in front of readers evolves into a hardworking, decent person. Having received sufficient motivation in the form of love for the princess, he forgets about the desire to remain lazy, live only for his own pleasure and gets down to business.

If the pike does not make a big impression on him, he initially takes it for granted, then the first refusal of the girl awakens feelings in him.

At the moment when Emelya on the stove begins to crush passers-by, according to many researchers of the tale, the guy shows royal features. After this incident, even the monarch turned his attention to him.

It is possible that our ancestors, who created the fairy tale, saw in the last external transformation of Emelya and internal changes for the better.

When he became more beautiful, he managed to forgive and understand the king, became kinder and more attentive to others. People with visible facial markings were usually considered bad or even familiar with evil spirits.

While Emelya looked like an ordinary, not too pleasant guy, he could not become a king. With the acquisition of inner beauty, everything immediately changed.

Traditional Russian fairy tales always end hopefully. Most likely, the peasants of that time imagined the happiest day in this way.

"By the Pike's Command"

The catchphrase of the whole fairy tale is "At the command of the pike, at my will." This is a kind of spell that summons a magical pike. Saying these words, Emelya gets everything he wants. "By the pike command", that is, just like that. Without putting any effort into it. Despite the fact that the tale is called "Emelya and Pike", among the people it was renamed in honor of these magic words.

Pike teaches the guy this secret spell. And as soon as it sounds, the magic begins to act, wherever Emelya is. Though on the stove, even under water. In the barrel, he is saved by the phrase "at the command of the pike." The tale is its main thread.

These words immediately became a proverb among the people. They mean an attempt to do something not with your own hands, but for someone else's, most often magical, expense.

Fairy tale in pop culture

When the story was first published in large numbers and read by many, it immediately became popular.

The fairy tale "Emelya and the Pike" even became the basis for the film of the same name. A children's film was made in 1938. The well-known at that time Alexander Row was responsible for directing. Separate elements of the script were taken from Elizaveta Tarakhovskaya's play "Emelya and the Pike". The fairy tale in her interpretation was adapted to modern realities, but the moral remained the same.

Director Ivanov-Vano made a cartoon based on the same fiction in 1957. And once again, Tarakhovskaya's play was taken in 1970, for a new film adaptation by Vladimir Pekar.

The third cartoon was created by Valery Fomin, already in 1984.

The fairy tale "Emelya and the Pike" was immortalized on the stamps of the GDR in 1973. Each of the six stamps depicts one of the subjects were.

The mentions of Emelya themselves became popular. The protagonist of the story began to be associated with a lazy person who wants to get rich without doing anything.

"Emelya and the Pike" - a fairy tale, the author of which is not known, did not want to perpetuate himself and remain in the memory of his descendants, not striving for fame, wealth, fame. Nevertheless, his image perfectly demonstrates what a good person should be like.

There lived an old man. He had three sons: two smart, the third - the fool Emelya. The brothers work, but Emelya lies on the stove all day, not wanting to know anything.

The brothers leave for the fair, and the daughters-in-law send Emelya for water. It is possible to achieve this from a lazy person only by threatening that "they will not bring you presents."

No wow. However, the pike manages to persuade the fool by demonstrating his abilities to him by sending buckets home by self-propelled. Parting, the pike tells Emelya a magic phrase: “At the pike’s command, at my will,” with the help of which he can fulfill all his desires.

"By the Pike" summary

The peasant had three sons; two are smart, and the third, Emelya, is a fool and a lazy person. After the death of their father, each of the brothers received "one hundred rubles". The elder brothers go to trade, leaving Emelya at home with his daughters-in-law and promising to buy him red boots, a fur coat and a caftan.

In winter, in severe frost, the daughters-in-law send Emelya for water. He reluctantly goes to the hole, fills the bucket ... And catches a pike in the hole. Pike promises to fulfill Emelino's every wish if he lets her go. It will be enough for him to say the magic words: "At the pike's command, at my will." Emelya releases the pike.

After some time, the daughters-in-law ask Emelya to chop wood. Emelya orders the ax to chop wood, and the firewood to go to the hut and lie down in the oven. The daughters-in-law are in amazement, as this wish came true.

Then the daughters-in-law send Emelya to the forest for firewood. He does not harness the horses, the sledges themselves ride from the yard. Passing through the city, Emelya crushes a lot of people. In the forest, an ax is chopping wood and a club for Emelya.

On the way back in the city of Emelya, they try to catch and crush his sides. And Emelya orders his club to beat all the offenders and safely returns home.

The governor returned to the king empty-handed. Then the Tsar got angry and said that if the governor returns without Emelya, then he will lose his head. The second time the governor went for the Fool, began to persuade him with kind and affectionate speeches. Promising Emelya goodies and refreshments, he persuades him to come to the king. Then the fool tells his stove to go to the city itself.

In the royal palace, Emelya sees the princess and wants her to fall in love with him.

Emelya leaves the king, and the princess asks her father to marry her to Emelya. The king orders the officer to deliver Emelya to the palace. The officer drinks Emelya drunk, and then ties him up, puts him in a wagon and takes him to the palace. The king orders to make a big barrel, put his daughter and a fool there, pitch the barrel and put it into the sea.

In a barrel, a fool wakes up. The king's daughter tells him what happened and asks him to get them out of the barrel. The fool utters magic words, and the sea throws the barrel ashore. She crumbles.

Emelya and the princess find themselves on a beautiful island. According to Emelin's desire, a huge palace and a crystal bridge appear to the royal palace. And Emelya himself becomes smart and handsome.

Emelya invites the king to visit him. He arrives, feasts with Emelya, but does not recognize him. When Emelya tells him everything that happened, the king rejoices and agrees to marry the princess to him.

The king returns home, and Emelya and the princess live in their palace.

What does the fairy tale "At the command of the pike" teach?

First of all, the fairy tale teaches us kindness. That if you do even a small good deed, then you will be repaid for it with the same good. If Emelya had not released the pike, he would not have received anything in return.

The main meaning of the fairy tale "By the Pike" is that a person's happiness depends on himself. If you don't know what you want, then nothing will happen. Emelya, introduced to us at first as a lazy and fool, married the princess and began to live with her in the castle.
