Short retelling (344 words). In a distant kingdom, a noble merchant lived with his three daughters. The hero gathered on a trip on business matters and decided to ask what to bring to his daughters from this trip. The eldest asked for a crown of jewels, the middle asked for a crystal mirror, and the youngest, Nastya, wanted a scarlet flower. It was Nastya who the parent loved most of all, so he took the request seriously.
The merchant moved on the road. The first two gifts did not cause him any difficulties, but the third he could not find. Returning home, the hero becomes a victim of a robbery and runs away from the robbers into the forest. By chance, a merchant came to a palace decorated with precious stones. All his wishes are fulfilled there: dinner is served by itself, the bed is laid out. In a dream, the father sees that the eldest daughters do not grieve over him, but are going to marry without blessing. Only Nastya is yearning and waiting for him.
The next morning, wandering through the alleys, he found a scarlet flower of unprecedented beauty. His traveler tore off and rejoiced that he had found the last gift. Suddenly, a real monster appeared in front of him, who became angry for stealing a flower. It said that it would execute a thief if none of his daughters came instead of a merchant. The owner of the castle was alone and wanted to find a company, so he promised not to touch the girl. The father decided that he would die instead of them if not a single daughter agrees to the conditions of the monster.
The man turned back home and told about this family. The younger sister went to the monster to save the priest.
So they began to live together, soul to soul. At first, the monster was afraid to show herself to Nastya, and then she begged. First, the girl of the beast was frightened, and then she stopped noticing his ugliness. Once Nastenka had a dream that the merchant was not feeling well. She asked the monster to let her go home, and he ordered her to return in 3 days at the indicated time, otherwise she would die of anguish.
At home, Nastya realized that the elders envied her, but did not feel any catch, and the cunning sisters decided to set the clock so that she was late. But at the appointed hour, the heart of the youngest daughter suggested that it was time to return to the palace. I saw Nastenka lying beast and told him about her feelings. He woke from a dream and turned into a handsome prince who was bewitched many years ago. From now on they lived together happily!
Feedback (124 words). The writer teaches us that appearances are most often deceiving. A beautiful shell often conceals a terrible character, while not the most pleasant person has the best qualities.
Therefore, my favorite heroine is Nastya. Only she was wise enough to appreciate the monster deserved. Her good disposition cannot leave anyone indifferent. She was able to love the monster and help him regain the human form.
The main idea of this work is not to evaluate people by their appearance. This is my opinion: everyone should be treated with understanding, kindness and love, because, perhaps, such an attitude will help him to reveal all the true virtues of his character.
I want to re-read Aksakov's tale again and again, so as not to forget such simple truths. It leaves a wonderful impression that warms the soul after reading.
