Rimsky-Korsakov Story Once upon a time, there were three sisters in the folk. The eldest sister and the second sister were lazy, vain, and dreamed of becoming queens one day. They did not do any heavy work, leaving it all to their third sister, Militrissa. After King Satan married Militrissa, he made one of her two sisters work as a weaver and the other as a cook in the palace. The two sisters were jealous of their sister and determined to kill her. Soon, Militrissa became pregnant, but King Satan was away on war and was unable to see the birth of the little prince.

He urgently sent an envoy back to the palace and issued an order to put the queen and her son into a wooden barrel and throw them into the sea. After the barrel was thrown into the sea, it did not sink, but floated to an isolated island called Buyang Island.

He shot the vulture with his bow, and the swan turned into a beautiful princess and expressed her gratitude to the young man who saved him. It turns out that she was transformed into a swan by magic. The prince expressed his hope to see his father, and the princess came to help. At her suggestion, the prince transformed into a wild bee and flew away on a ship bound for Temotalaconi. After King Satan realized his mistake, he sent people to various islands to search for the innocent queen and prince. However, the weavers and cooks tried their best to prevent King Satan from sending people to search. Then Gwydon, who turned into a wild bee, stung them.
