"Flying ship" - a fairy tale Russian folk. Description, plot and heroes

The tales of the peoples of the world are always characterized by unprecedented wisdom, which expresses the aspirations of generations of the common people. So the "Flying Ship" is a Russian folk tale, in this respect very interesting. And not so much in terms of the development of the plot, as from the moral point of view. However, today few people know that there are two versions of it: original and musical animation. Although they differ widely enough both in the plot and in the main characters, the basic morality in both variations is identical. Let's consider each of these versions.

Russian fairy tale "The Flying Ship"

If we talk about the narrative in a fairy tale, the beginning of the development of the story line is not much different from most similar stories.

As usual, there lived a grandfather and a woman, and they had three sons. Is it very similar to many other stories? Naturally, "Flying ship" - a fairy tale in which the two older sons were smart, and the third (younger) - a fool. Probably, it is not necessary to explain that the whole plot will be developed around it.

True, there is one small nuance in this whole story. "Flying ship" (fairy tale) says that the old woman loved her older sons, surrounded them with attention and gave the best in material terms. On the fool she was, to put it mildly, not give a damn. And it is because of this from the first lines that we see that the older sons were at least smart, but absolutely stale. The third, although he did not receive anything worthwhile and did not differ in intelligence, was a kind and sympathetic person.

String

It so happened that a certain king of a state issued a decree at his whim, saying that the one who built the flying ship would get his daughter to be his wife. The older brothers, having received the mother's blessing and food on the road, ran to the trees to run down trees to build a strange thing. The younger one too zasobiralsya, but the mother did not want to give him a chance. He was stubborn, and in the end the old woman gave him water and black cakes.

Whether for a long time, shortly, the grandfather met him on the road and asked where the young man keeps the path. The guy told, and complained that he could not build such a vessel. On the old man's question about why he was going to the forest, the fool answered: "God knows!"

Then the grandfather advised the guy to come into the woods, do one thing and go to bed, and then the ship itself will become. But only to fly, it is necessary to put the first person in it. So did the guy.

Storyline and main characters

When the ship was ready, the young man flew on to the king and met an uncle who listened to the ground with his ear. As it turned out, he recognized what was happening in the other world. Then they were met by a man with a tied foot, which could jump the whole world if it was untied. The third was a bugbill with a bag of bread, and everything was not enough for him. The fourth was a man who wanted to get drunk, but he missed the lake. Further the whole company met a hunter who could shoot for a thousand miles. Then there was an uncle with magic firewood, they turned into an army of incalculable. The last was a traveler with a bundle of firewood, which could from the heat of the winter make a fierce winter.

A guy with his new acquaintances came to the king. And as he saw that the ship was a stupid fool, he decided not to give his daughter, but to ask the guy such tasks that he could not fulfill them.

He overheard this first bug and told the guy. Twisted our hero, but friends promised to help, who than can.

The first task was to bring the kissing water until the royal dinner was over. The hurry came to rescue him, but fell asleep on the way, but the hunter woke him up with a shot. Then the king gave the order to eat twelve bulls of fried and twelve loaves of bread. Here, for his work Eaten undertook, but everything was not enough for him.

Then the king ordered the company to drink forty barrels of wine with forty buckets. He did his job. After this, the king sent the guy to the bathhouse to bake there, but his new companion scattered the straw, and the guy nearly died of the cold. Finally, the governor gave the task, so that the foolish army gathered a myriad. A man with wood scattered them on the ground, and an army appeared.

There was nothing to do, it was necessary to give the princess. But the fool dressed up, but he became so handsome, smart and intelligent that the princess and the tsar with the queen of the soul were not in him.

Folk tale "Flying ship": cartoon version

As it is already clear, the victory was just behind the fool. It so happened in Russia that all stories boil down to this, and "Flying Ship" is a fairy tale that also has such a finale.

In the animated film the plot develops in much the same way, only in terms of the antipode instead of siblings is a greedy Polkan who himself has laid eyes on the princess, and the protagonist is not some peasant, but a cheerful and disorderly chimneysweep.

But even here there is a cunning, because in order to take off and land, it was necessary to know the magic words. Polkan took possession of the ship and presented the king the case as he himself had built it. But he overheard only one phrase for take-off. So the helpless king flew to himself, and did not know how to land.

Another interesting point is that in the subject of a chimney sweep perform all sorts of tasks help completely different heroes, say, gay Babki-Ezhki or Water. But in general, the general direction is not violated. Anyway, the logical conclusion will be the same. By the way, quite a strong emphasis is placed on music, which plays a significant role in the production.

Conclusion

As for morality, the "Flying Ship" is a fairy tale that gives any person an idea of the need to help everyone on the way, and his deeds will be thanked. Look, because first the kid helps the grandfather, and then other heroes with unimaginable abilities.

Incidentally, Christian customs are mentioned in passing. After all, the grandfather ordered the main character in the forest to approach the first tree, cross himself three times and strike him with an ax. Hence it can be concluded that this story was invented after the Baptism of Rus.
