Russian folk tales - “Little Havroshechka”, “Geese-Swans”, “Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf” (this is not the whole list) are known to every child and adult.

So lives the patient and resigned Tiny-Havroshechka. The summary will not do without the second main character - Pestruha's cow.
Further events
From morning till night, Tiny-Khavrosechka has to work: revenge, clean up, wash the mistress and her daughters. The hostess gives the girl an unbearable, impossible load. Tiny-Khavroshechka always comes with a mass of errands in the field, hugs the cow Pestuha and complains to her about her fate. Pestuha is the only character in the fairy tale who truly sympathizes with the poor girl. The cow consoles Tiny-Havrosechka: "Get in," says, "into my right ear and get out into the left." So the girl did, and a miracle happened! The canvases themselves weaved and bleached. Then the hostess decided that it was no accident. She sent the eldest daughter first, then the middle one, and then the youngest one to follow Krochechka-Khavrosechka. Three-eyed with the third eye saw what the girl was doing. Then the hostess ordered Pestruha to be slaughtered immediately.
The last command of Pestruha
I learned about the order Tiny-Khavroshechka, ran to her beloved cow and began to cry. Pestruha reassured her and ordered not to eat her meat, but to collect the bones and bury them in the garden. The girl did so. In addition to the meat of the cow, the mistress didn’t give her anything to eat, but Tiny-Khavroshechka suffered. She collected all the bones of her pet in a handkerchief and carefully planted in the garden.

The summary of the tale comes to an amazing end. A wonderful apple tree appeared on the site of the buried bones of a cow. The sweetest and most delicious apples grew on it, and the whole village was amazed and praised. It so happened that one of the fine days a prince rode past an apple tree. He really wanted to taste apples, and he told the daughters of the mistress that he would marry the one who would bring him the desired fruit faster than anyone else. One-eyed ran - the apple tree pierced her face with branches. Two-eye ran - the apple tree of the braid disheveled her, the three-eyed ran - she could not reach the fruits. As soon as Tiny-Khavroshechka appeared, the apple tree itself bent its branches to it, and the girl gave the prince an apple. He married her.
