The Tale of the Silver saucer and the Transparent apple (22) [Silver saucer]

The Tale of the Silver saucer and the Transparent apple (22)


" O lord Tsa, " says she, " spin the apple in the saucer, and you will see whatever you wish to seeーyour soldiers, your high hills, your forests, your plains, your rivers, and everything in all Russia. "

The Tsar spun the apple in the saucer till it seemed a little whirlpool of white mist, and there he saw glittering towns, and regiments of soldiers marching to war, and ships, and day and night, and clear stars above the trees.

He looked at these things and thought much of them.

Then the little good one threw herself on her knees before him, weeping.

" O little father, Tsar, " she says, "take my transparent apple and my silver saucer; only forgive my sisiters.
 Do not kill them beccause of me.
 If their heads are cut off when the sun goes down, it would have been better for me to lie under the blanket of black earth in the shade of the birch tree in the forest. "

The Tsar was pleased with the kind heart of the little pretty one, and he forgave the bad ones, and their hands were untied.

Little pretty one kissed them, and they kissed her again and said they were sorry.
