Whoever read this tale in verse, for certain remember, that one of the most vivid characters is the Fish-whale. If you have not had the pleasure of reading this work, you can do it right now.

Prehistory of writing a masterpiece

Ershov Peter Pavlovich was born on February 22, 1815 in the town of Bezrukovo, Tobolsk province. His father often moved in the service, so Peter had the opportunity to communicate with different people.

The boy listened to folk legends, which formed the basis of his famous work "The Little Humpbacked Horse". As the author himself said, he only slightly modified them, gave the words a poetic form. Opinions about the work were contradictory. Thus, Belinsky said that there is no Russian spirit in the tale, in spite of the fact that it is written in Russian words. However, there were many positive responses. So, AS Pushkin, having familiarized himself with the work, said: "Now this kind of works can be left to me." With these words he placed the novice poet on one level with himself. And it was under the influence of the Pushkin fairy tales that the "Humpbacked Horse" was created by the 19-year-old P. P. Ershov.

Summary of the "Humpbacked Horse": the Beginning

One peasant had three sons. The elder was Danilo, he was smart. The average Gavrilo was "and so, and syak," and the youngest Ivan was a fool.

The family grew wheat and sold it. But someone began to trample under crops at night and thereby cause great damage. Then it was decided that all brothers in turn should be on duty. The elder, when he was in office, was attacked by fear. The young man dug into the hay and lay there all night, so he did not learn anything. The average brother froze and left the post. I managed to understand what was the matter, only Ivan. He saw a white beautiful horse, managed to saddle it and bring it to a shepherd's farce.

As the mare promised him, she gave birth to three horses. Danilo and Gavrilo saw two handsome stallions and secretly took them out for sale. Comforting sorrowful Ivan was a hunchbacked hunchback. He told him to sit on his back and rushed after him for his brothers. From this begins a fairy tale Ershov, which will soon be a fish-kit.

Tests for a peasant son

The horses were so good that the king bought them in the capital. When the animals were led to the stable, they fled to Ivan. Then the king appointed him a groom. But the envious sleeping-boy could not survive this, he threw Ivan the feather of the Firebird and told the king that the guy promised to bring the owner of the feather.

With the help of a ridge-hunchback, the young man fulfilled this task of the tsar. Then the faithful friend helped the boy to bring the Tsar-maiden. On the offer of the sovereign to become his wife, the girl said that she would not agree, until she got a ring from the ocean floor. It is this event that will bring the reader closer to the next character who should help get the ring out of the water abysses.

Finding himself at the ocean, Ivan and the horse saw that across it lies Miracle fish of the whale.

The first meeting with a giant fish island

The whale was unusual. It turns out that for ten years now, it has turned into a living island. Next, Ershov describes what the miracle-fish Whale looks like.

There was a village on his back, there were real houses here. Fences were driven into the ribs of a poor animal. On his lips, men plowed, between the mustaches grew mushrooms, which were looking for girls.

Konek and Ivan jumped on a strange creature. The fish-whale asked where they came from and where are they going?

They answered that they were coming from the capital on behalf of the Tsar-maidens, they were going to the Sun, which would help them fulfill the girl's commission. Hearing this, the whale asked the travelers to find out from Solnyshka whether for long it would still be in this form and for what sins this punishment. Ivan promised to fulfill the request, and the travelers went on.

Description of the hero of a fairy tale

Help to find out what the fish-kit looks like, pictures. It is seen that the forest grows on its tail. It begins with a birch grove, becoming more and more dense. There are already located dark fir trees, oaks and other trees.

On the body of the sufferer there are village houses. Near each of them a garden is broken. Plow the earth and transport the weights of the horse, which can also be seen in the illustration. On one side of a giant fish stands a church in which peasants go to pray. On the other - a mill, here they turn the grain into flour.

The face is covered with a thicket. It can be seen how the Fish-whale is tormented. The pictures convey the joyless existence of the animal. Although only one of his eyes is drawn, and the other is hidden beneath the vegetation, it is evident how much anguish and entreaty for travelers he is filled with. Will Ivanushka and the horse help him? You will learn about this very soon.

In a palace

The young man with his assistant ascended to heaven and got into the palace of the Tsar's Maid. However, the sun rested here only at night, and in the daytime they found a month there, but were also happy about it. The night luminary was also happy, having received through the messengers the news of his missing daughter, the Tsar-maiden. On the joys Month Mesjatsović told the guests why the Fish-whale is suffering. The tale passes to the next episode, which reveals the veil of secrecy. It turns out that the giant fish swallowed 30 ships. As soon as she releases them back, she will be forgiven and again able to swim in the ocean.

Forgiveness

Ivan and the hunchback took leave of the Month and set off on their return journey. When they drove up to the ocean, they saw a fish-whale. The tale continues, and now there are only joyful moments in it.

The hunchbacked horse rode to the peasants to tell them that they would quickly assemble and leave this living island, or else they would drown. They obeyed, and at noon there was not a single living soul here.

Then only the travelers told the whale how to deserve forgiveness. He opened his mouth and all the ships jumped out of him with a noise, cannon shots. The rowers sang merry songs.

Searches for the ring

For those who are interested, the whale is a fish or an animal, it should be explained. Previously, people thought it was a giant fish, because a whale lives in water and looks like it in shape. But then it turned out that this mammal that breathes air is viviparous, which means it is an animal. But back to the fairy tale.

The fish-whale asks its rescuers what can thank them. They said that they only need a ring. He dived into the water depths, called the sturgeon and told them to find an ornament. They searched for a long time, but returned with nothing. They said that only a ruff can find it.

After that, two dolphins went to find the ruff. He was a reveler and a bully, so finding him was not so easy.

They searched for him in the seas, rivers, lakes, but all is in vain. Then the dolphins heard exclamations and realized that the ruff was in the pond. There he intended to fight with the crucian carp. This is what the plot in PP Ershov's poetry came up with. The fish-whale, to which the sea-goater was brought, orders him to find a chest in which there was a ring.

Ersh said he knows where all this is. He dived into the pool and dug a treasure box there, then called the sturgeon, said that they should take the whale away, and he went on his own business.

Happy end of a fairy tale

At this time on the shore of the ocean, Ivan sat and waited for the fish-whale to appear. It was already evening, but the surface of the water did not sway. The young man was worried, as the term of execution of the king's punishment was drawing to a close, and he did not yet have a finger. Suddenly the sea began to sweat, and a whale appeared. He gave the young man a trunk, saying that he had fulfilled the request.

Ivan tried to lift the chest, but could not. Then the Hunchback with ease threw the luggage on his neck, told the young man to sit on his back and went to the royal palace. The travelers gave the tsar a ring, he handed it to the Tsar and told her to marry him faster. The girl answered that she was 15 years old and she would not marry an old man. The maiden advised him to bathe in cold water, then hot and in milk, so that he turned into a young man.

He decided to first conduct tests on Ivan. The young man was ashamed. The hunchback told him that he would help. Indeed, when Ivan jumped into the cauldron with a boiling liquid, the horse waved her with magical movements. As a result, the young man became handsome and handsome. And the evil king jumped into the cauldron and cooked there.

The girl married Ivan, this ends the tale. After reading it, children can make a drawing. The fish-whale will be like a book illustration or will be different from it.
