The Tale of Tsar Saltan is a poem by Alexander Pushkin:Three fair maidens, late one night, Sat and spun by candlelight.’Were our tsar to marry me, ‘Said the eldest of the three, ‘I would cook and I would bake – Oh, what royal feasts I’d make.’Said the second of the three:’Were our tsar to marry me, I would weave a cloth of gold Fair and wondrous to behold.’But the youngest of the three Murmured: ‘If he married me – I would give our tsar an heir Handsome, brave, beyond compare.’- Russian Fairy Tales
