Emelian and the magic pike in Russian folk tale
A retelling of a Russian folk tale about Emelian, a lazy youth, who frees a talking pike from a river hole. The pike grants his wishes via magical commands including self-moving pails and a self-propelling hatchet, as Emelian seeks the red caftan, cap, and boots while avoiding labor. His sisters-in-law pressure him to work, and the tale explores life and feelings of Russian peasants through humor and cunning.
