The Little Humpbacked Horse. Ershov P.

The popular children's fairy tale "Horse-Bank", written by the writer P.P. Ershov, is a very bright and beautiful poetic poet. The fairy tale is saturated with magic heroes: a firebird, a huge fish and others. The style of this wonderful fairy tale is ironic -satirical, it ridicules those who are rich or dreaming of getting rich, at someone else's expense. Their passions and desires are so great that in the end negative heroes remain with nothing. But Ivan, who was honest and generous, not hoping for any praise and even more so for reward, without crackers and pretense was always ready for the sake of another person’s happiness to sacrifice his life. That is why he has such a wise friend as a magical horse-humpbacked horse.
