The Story#
A long, long time ago, in Russian mythology, there was a magical bird called the Firebird.
The Firebird had beautiful feathers that shone like gold and red fire. Its song was the most beautiful sound in the world.
One day, a tsar’s son went hunting and saw the Firebird.
“Wow, how beautiful!” the prince said.
But the Firebird flew away, leaving just one feather behind.
The prince took the feather to his father.
“Let’s find the Firebird!” the tsar said.
The tsar sent three princes to find it.
The first prince found the Firebird’s cage but couldn’t catch it.
The second prince found it but was tricked by a wolf.
The youngest prince, Ivan, was clever and patient.
A wolf helped Ivan and guided him to the Firebird.
Ivan caught the Firebird and brought it back to the tsar.
The Firebird’s feathers shone beautifully in the palace.
Little friends, the Firebird teaches us: patience and cleverness can help us achieve our goals!
