A peasant who is considered to be stupid wins the hand of the Czar's daughter with the aid of eight extraordinary companions.
First Line
There were once upon a time an old peasant and his wife, and they had three sons. Two of them were clever young men who could borrow money without being cheated, but the third was the Fool of the World. He was as simple as a child, simpler than some children, and he never did anyone a harm in his life.
