One king was very rich, but most of all he valued his beautiful wife and daughter, as well as a magical donkey, on whose bedding every morning, instead of dung, gold coins were found.

When the queen died unexpectedly, the king decided to marry his own daughter. Trying to resist this, the princess put forward a demand that, in her opinion, the king could not fulfill. She said that she would marry the king if he brought her the skin of a precious donkey.

However, the king complied with this requirement and the donkey was slaughtered.

In despair, the girl ran away from the palace, covered herself in mud and put on a donkey skin. In this form she reached a distant country, where no one knew her.

There she settled in a deep forest and did the dirtiest work for her neighbors. Local residents saw her as a simple dirty little thing and called her Donkey Skin, which is why she never took it off in public.

But sometimes, left alone, with the help of a magic wand given to her by her godmother, who was a sorceress, the girl was transformed, acquiring her former splendor.

No one saw these transformations until one day the prince of that country found himself next door to Donkey Skin’s hut. He got lost while hunting, accidentally came across a hut lost in the forest and, looking out the window, saw an extraordinary beauty there. Of course, I immediately fell in love with her.

Noticing him, the princess disappeared into the forest, and the prince had no choice but to ask the surrounding residents: what kind of beauty is hiding in the wilderness?

But no one could answer him, because, according to people, there was no one there except the dirty Donkey Skin.

The prince even fell ill, however, something told him that there was some kind of connection between the beauty he saw and the dirty woman living in the forest. Then he asked that they bring him bread baked with Donkey skin.

When the girl was baking bread, a gold ring slipped off her finger and remained inside the bread. The prince discovered the ring and ordered to find a girl who would like this ring at the right time.

Ambassadors were sent to all parts of the kingdom, the ring was tried on by the beauties and ugly women of the kingdom, but the ring did not suit anyone.

When the ambassadors returned empty-handed, the prince himself went to a hut lost in the forest, found Donkey Skin and ordered her to try on the ring.

And at that moment a miracle happened. The princess was transformed and appeared in all her splendor, striking both the prince himself and his companions.

The king and queen and the courtiers all began to persuade the princess to marry the prince and she agreed.

The wedding celebrations lasted three months, the newlyweds were happy, lived long and died on the same day.

Genre: fairy tale Main characters: princess, prince, farmers and king

In a rich kingdom there lived a king with a beautiful queen. They had a daughter, more beautiful than whom they had never met in the entire state and beyond. In the stable there was a donkey that brought wealth to the kingdom - gold coins. He was very taken care of.

Everyone lived happily until the queen fell ill. Before her death, she conveyed her last wish to the king: let him marry a woman who will be more beautiful than her.

After the death of the queen, the ministers asked the king to marry again, since the state needed an heir. But no matter how much they looked for a bride for him, they could not find a better queen. One day, the inconsolable king looked out the window and saw his daughter - she was beautiful. The king's mind became clouded, and he decided to marry his own daughter.

The old fairy decided to help the girl get rid of this marriage. On her advice, the princess three times gave the task to her father to sew three dresses for her, the beauty of which would resemble the sky, the sun and the moon. And all three tasks were completed. For the fourth time, the girl, on the instructions of the fairy, asked that the gray donkey be slaughtered. By order of the king, this condition was fulfilled.

Then the princess decided to leave the palace. She put on the skin of a donkey, smeared her face with soot, and set off. For a long time she could not find shelter until the farm owners took her for dirty work. The owners fell in love with the girl for her kindness and hard work, despite her repulsive appearance.

One day, the prince of this kingdom came to the farm to rest after a hunt. By chance he wandered into that part of the house where the princess was sitting in a small room. Out of curiosity, the prince looked through the keyhole and saw a girl more beautiful than whom he had never met. To his question, the farmers replied that their worker lived in this room.

The prince returned home, became sad and fell ill from melancholy. The king and queen were inconsolable. They agreed to fulfill any wish of their son, as long as he recovered. Then the prince asked the farm worker from the small room to bake him a pie. A servant came and gave the girl the royal order. The princess did as she was told, and put a ring in the pie. While the prince was eating the pie, he discovered it and ordered the owner of this ring to be found. But this ring did not suit any of the girls and young women. Then the prince sent for the girl from the farm. The princess came and put on the ring, then shed the donkey skin and appeared in all her beauty. The happy prince invited guests from neighboring countries to the wedding. The princess's father was also invited. He arrived with his second wife. When the king saw his daughter, he was very happy. They reconciled, and her father made her the ruler of his kingdom.

The prince and princess got married and lived happily ever after.

The fairy tale teaches believe in goodness, forgive insults, understand and appreciate a person not for his appearance, but for his kind and sensitive heart.

Donkey skin

The poetic tale begins with a description of the happy life of the brilliant king, his beautiful and faithful wife and their lovely little daughter. They lived in a magnificent palace, in a rich and prosperous country. In the royal stable, next to the frisky horses, “a fat donkey hung his ears peacefully.” “The Lord made his womb so good that if he sometimes shit, it was with gold and silver.”

But “in the prime of her magnificent years, the ruler’s wife was suddenly struck down by illness.” Dying, she asks her husband to “go down the aisle a second time only with that chosen one who will finally be more beautiful and worthy than me.” The husband “swore to her through a river of mad tears about everything she was waiting for... Among the widowers, he was one of the noisiest! I cried so much, I sobbed so much...” However, “less than a year has passed, there is shameless talk about matchmaking.” But the deceased is surpassed in beauty only by her own daughter, and the father, inflamed with a criminal passion, decides to marry the princess. She, in despair, goes to her godmother - the good fairy who lives “in the depths of the forests, in the darkness of a cave, between shells, corals, mother-of-pearl.” To upset the terrible wedding, the godmother advises the girl to demand from her father a wedding dress in the shade of clear days. “The task is tricky and in no way possible.” But the king of the tailors called the masters and ordered from the high throne chairs that the gift should be ready by tomorrow, otherwise how could he not hang them in an hour! And in the morning the tailors bring “a wonderful gift.” Then the fairy advises her goddaughter to demand silk “lunar, unusual - he won’t be able to get it.” The king calls the goldsmith - and after four days the dress is ready. The princess almost submits to her father with delight, but, “compelled by her godmother,” she asks for an outfit of “wonderful sunny flowers.” The king threatens the jeweler with terrible torture - and in less than a week he creates “porphyry from porphyry.” - What a surprise - new clothes! - the fairy whispers contemptuously and orders to demand the skin of a precious donkey from the sovereign. But the king's passion is stronger than stinginess - and the skin is immediately brought to the princess.

Here “the stern godmother found that disgust is inappropriate on the paths of goodness,” and on the advice of the fairy, the princess promises the king to marry him, and she, throwing a vile skin over her shoulders and smearing her face with soot, runs from the palace. The girl puts wonderful dresses in the box. The fairy gives her goddaughter a magic twig: “As long as you have it in your hand, the box will crawl behind you in the distance, like a mole hiding underground.”

Royal messengers search in vain for the fugitive throughout the country. The courtiers are in despair: “no wedding, which means no feasts, no cakes, which means no pastries... The chaplain was more upset than anyone: he didn’t have time to have a snack in the morning and said goodbye to the wedding treat.”

And the princess, dressed as a beggar, wanders along the road, looking for “even a place as a poultry keeper, even a swineherd.” But the beggars themselves spit after the slob.” Finally, the unfortunate woman is taken on as a servant by a farmer - “to clean the pig stalls and wash greasy rags. Now in the closet behind the kitchen is the princess’s yard.” The impudent villagers and the “men are disgustingly bothering her,” and even mocking the poor thing. Her only joy is to lock herself in her closet on Sunday, wash herself, dress up in one or another marvelous dress and twirl in front of the mirror. “Ah, moonlight makes her look a little pale, and sunny light makes her look a little fuller... A blue dress is the best of all!”

And in these parts “a luxurious and omnipotent king kept a brilliant poultry yard.” The prince and a crowd of courtiers often visited this park. “The princess has already fallen in love with him from afar.” Oh, if only he loved girls in donkey skin! - the beauty sighed. And the prince - “a heroic look, a fighting spirit” - somehow came across a poor hut at dawn and saw through a crack a beautiful princess in a marvelous outfit. Struck by her noble appearance, the young man did not dare to enter the hut, but, returning to the palace, “he did not eat, did not drink, did not dance; he lost interest in hunting, opera, fun and girlfriends” - and thought only about the mysterious beauty. He was told that a dirty beggar named Donkey Skin lived in a squalid hut. The prince doesn't believe it. “He cries bitterly, he sobs” - and demands that Donkey Skin bake him a pie. A loving queen mother will not contradict her son, and the princess, “hearing this news,” hurries to knead the dough. “They say: working extraordinarily, she... completely, completely by accident! “I dropped my ring into the dough.” But “my opinion is that this was her calculation.” After all, she saw how the prince looked at her through the crack!

Having received the pie, the patient “devoured it with such greedy passion that, truly, it seems like a fair amount of luck that he did not swallow the ring.” Since the young man in those days “was losing terribly weight... the doctors decided unanimously: the prince was dying of love.” Everyone begs him to marry - but he agrees to take as his wife only the one who can put a tiny ring with an emerald on her finger. All the girls and widows begin to thin their fingers.

However, the ring did not suit either noble noblewomen, or cute grisettes, or cooks and farm laborers. But then “from under the donkey’s skin appeared a fist that looked like a lily.” The laughter stops. Everyone is shocked. The princess goes to change clothes - and an hour later she appears in the palace, resplendent with dazzling beauty and luxurious attire. The king and queen are happy, the prince is happy. Rulers from all over the world are called to the wedding. The princess's come to his senses, seeing his daughter, cries with joy. The prince is delighted: “what a lucky chance that his father-in-law is such a powerful ruler.” “Sudden thunder... The fairy queen, a witness of the misfortunes of the past, descends to her goddaughter to glorify virtue forever...”

Moral: “It is better to endure terrible suffering than to betray a duty of honor.” After all, “youth can be satisfied with a crust of bread and water, while she keeps her outfit in a golden box.”

Blue Beard

Once upon a time there lived a very rich man who had a blue beard. She disfigured him so much that, seeing this man, all the women ran away in fear. His neighbor, a noble lady, had two daughters of wondrous beauty. He asked any of these girls to marry him. But none of them wanted to have a spouse with a blue beard. They also didn’t like the fact that this man had already been married several times and no one knew what fate befell his wives.

Bluebeard invited the girls, their mother, friends and girlfriends to one of his luxurious country houses, where they had fun for a whole week. And so it began to seem to the youngest daughter that the owner of the house’s beard was not so blue, and that he himself was a very respectable man. Soon the wedding was decided.

A month later, Bluebeard told his wife that he was leaving on business for six weeks. He asked her not to be bored, to have fun, to call her friends, gave her the keys to all the chambers, storerooms, caskets and chests - and forbade her to enter only one small room.

His wife promised to obey him, and he left. Immediately, without waiting for the messengers, the girlfriends came running. They were eager to see all the riches of Bluebeard, but they were afraid to come in front of him. Now, admiring the house full of priceless treasures, the guests enviously extolled the happiness of the newlywed, but she could only think about the small room...

Finally, the woman abandoned her guests and rushed headlong down the secret staircase, almost breaking her neck. Curiosity overcame fear - and the beauty unlocked the door with trepidation... In the dark room, the floor was covered with dried blood, and on the walls hung the bodies of Bluebeard's former wives, whom he had killed. Out of horror, the newlywed dropped the key. Picking it up, she locked the door and, trembling, rushed to her room. There the woman noticed that the key was stained with blood. The unfortunate woman took a long time to clean the stain, but the key was magical, and the blood, wiped off on one side, appeared on the other...

That same evening Bluebeard returned. His wife greeted him with ostentatious delight. The next day he demanded the keys from the poor girl. Her hands were shaking so much that he immediately guessed everything and asked: “Where is the key to the small room?” After various excuses, I had to bring the dirty key. “Why is he bleeding? - inquired Bluebeard. -Did you enter the small room? Well, madam, that’s where you’ll stay now.”

The woman, sobbing, threw herself at her husband’s feet. Beautiful and sad, she would have pitied even a stone, but Bluebeard had a heart harder than stone. “Allow me to at least pray before I die,” the poor thing asked.” “I give you seven minutes!” - answered the villain. Left alone, the woman called her sister and said to her: “Sister Anna, look if my brothers are coming? They promised to visit me today." The girl climbed the tower and from time to time said to the unfortunate woman: “You can’t see anything, only the sun is scorching and the grass is glistening in the sun.” And Bluebeard, clutching a large knife in his hand, shouted: “Come here!” - “Just a minute!” - answered the poor thing and kept asking sister Anna if the brothers were visible? The girl noticed clouds of dust in the distance - but it was a herd of sheep. Finally she saw two horsemen on the horizon...

Then Bluebeard roared throughout the whole house. The trembling wife came out to him, and he, grabbing her by the hair, was about to cut off her head, but at that moment a dragoon and a musketeer burst into the house. Snatching their swords, they rushed at the villain. He tried to escape, but the beauty’s brothers pierced him with steel blades.

The wife inherited all of Bluebeard's wealth. She gave a dowry to her sister Anna when she married a young nobleman who had loved her for a long time; The young widow helped each of the brothers achieve the rank of captain, and then she herself married a good man who helped her forget about the horrors of her first marriage.

Moral: “Yes, curiosity is a scourge. It confuses everyone; it was born on the mountain of mortals.”

Rike with a tuft

One queen gave birth to such an ugly son that the courtiers doubted for a long time whether he was human. But the good fairy assured that he would be very smart and would be able to give his intelligence to the person he loved. Indeed, as soon as he learned to babble, the child began to say the sweetest things. He had a small tuft on his head, which is why the prince was nicknamed Rike with the tuft.

Seven years later, the queen of a neighboring country gave birth to two daughters; When she saw the first one - beautiful as day - the mother was so happy that she almost felt bad, but the second girl turned out to be extremely ugly. But the same fairy predicted that the ugly girl would be very smart, and the beauty would be stupid and awkward, but she would be able to bestow beauty on whoever she liked.

The girls grew up - and the beauty always had much less success than her smart sister. And then one day in the forest, where the silly girl went to mourn her bitter lot, the unfortunate woman met the ugly Rike. Having fallen in love with her from the portraits, he came to the neighboring kingdom... The girl told Rika about her misfortune, and he said that if the princess decided to marry him in a year, she would immediately become wiser. The beauty foolishly agreed - and immediately spoke so witty and gracefully that Riquet wondered if he had given her more intelligence than he had left for himself?..

The girl returned to the palace, amazed everyone with her intelligence and soon became her father’s main adviser; All fans turned away from her ugly sister, and the fame of the beautiful and wise princess thundered throughout the world. Many princes wooed the beauty, but she made fun of them all, until finally one rich, handsome and smart prince appeared...

Walking through the forest and thinking about choosing a groom, the girl suddenly heard a dull noise under her feet. At that same moment the earth opened up, and the princess saw people preparing a luxurious feast. “This is for Rike, tomorrow is his wedding,” they explained to the beauty. And then the shocked princess remembered that exactly a year had passed since the day she met the freak.

And soon Rike himself appeared in a magnificent wedding dress. However, the wiser princess flatly refused to marry such an ugly man. And then Rike revealed to her that she could endow her chosen one with beauty. The princess sincerely wished that Rike would become the most wonderful and amiable prince in the world - and a miracle happened!

True, others argue that it is not a matter of magic, but of love. The princess, admiring the intelligence and loyalty of her admirer, stopped noticing his ugliness. The hump began to give special importance to the prince’s posture, the terrible limp turned into a manner of leaning slightly to one side, the slanting eyes acquired a captivating languor, and the big red nose seemed mysterious and even heroic.

The king gladly agreed to marry his daughter to such a wise prince, and the next day they celebrated a wedding, for which the smart Rike already had everything ready.

A short review of the fairy tale "Donkey Skin" for the reader's diary

I really liked the fairy tale "Donkey Skin".

Its plot is unusual: the father decides to marry his own daughter, but the girl escapes from the palace under the skin of a donkey.

I believe that in this situation the Princess did the right thing and did not allow her father to make a serious mistake.

For me, the main character of the fairy tale is an example of kindness, cordiality, intelligence and patience.

The girl was not afraid of dirty work on the farm, but happily did everything.

As a reward for her difficult trials, she received a generous gift from fate.

The Prince fell in love with her and married her.

I also liked the princess because she was able to forgive her father, and her father, in turn, understood what a mistake he could have made.

The fairy tale teaches us common sense, kindness and the ability to forgive the mistakes of others.

What proverbs are suitable for the work “Donkey Skin”

“They greet you by their clothes, but they send you away by their intelligence.”

"The view is good, but don't judge by the look."
