For those of you who do not know what "The Fool and the Flying Ship" is, here is a brief summary of the Russian folktale. The story starts off when the Tsar of Russia made a proclamation across the countryside that whoever can build him a flying ship will marry his daughter the princess. When a country bumpkin hears news about the flying ship, he decides to build one himself and as he journeys to the Tsar's palace, he meets several strange companions who each have special powers that eventually helps the Fool on his journey.
I know many of you have heard of Pecos Bill before, so I won't go into so much detail with that story.
Here are a couple of my favorite scenes from both stories:
The Fool and the Flying Ship 1) When the Runner goes to fetch the equator.
2) When the Eater eats all the bread
3) When the Puffer pulls apart the land to get the penguins
Pecos Bill 1) When Pecos Bill meets Slue Foot Sue.
2) When Pecos Bill fights the cyclone.
3) When Pecos Bill howls at the moon the first time.
So, what are your favorite scenes from these two tales?
