In fairy tales, happiness often turns into misfortune. Andrei, an archer, got a turtledove while hunting, but the bird turned out to be Marya the Princess. Andrei married her and was happy. But the tsar saw Marya and decided to kill her husband in order to take the "unspeakable beauty" for himself. First of all, the tsar sent Andrei the archer to the other world to see his father, then ordered to get a sleepy cat in the Thirtieth Kingdom. And the third "service" turned out to be quite impossible and incomprehensible: to go there - I don't know where, to bring that - I don't know what. But, it is true, only impossible deeds can turn a man into an invincible hero. And tsars are not an order for heroes. Andrei the archer reached an unknown place and got an unseen miracle, and then returned home and dealt with the evil tsar in his own way.
