THE FROG PRINCESS (fairy tail) A long time ago there was an old widowed tsar who had three sons. None of his sons were married. One day the tsar called them all and said, “My dear sons, I am getting older, but before I die it would be a great pleasure for me to see you all married and settled with your own families. I want you all to go to the open field tomorrow morning and each of you should fire one arrow as far and as high as you can. You then should follow your arrow and marry the one who picks it up.” Next morning, all three sons went to the open field and fired their arrows. The arrow of the eldest son landed in the courtyard of a boyar and the nobleman’s daughter picked it up. The arrow of the second eldest son fell into a wealthy merchant's yard, where the merchant's daughter found it. The youngest son, Ivan, shot his arrow into a swamp and was picked up by a crowned frog. When he went into the swamp to find it, he found a frog holding the arrow in its mouth. Ivan could not deny his father’s will, so he picked up his bride from the swamp and later married the frog on the same exact day his elder brothers married their brides.
