This story is about girl name Katya. One day, the Czar of Russia was hungry. He asked a farmer for some bread. The farmer bowed low and gave him some. It was the best the Czar had ever tasted. The farmer's daughter, Katya had made the bread. The farmer told the Czar that Katya is wonderful, pretty, good, strong, a good worker and a good singer.
The farmer also mentioned that Katya is clever too. The Czar thought that Katya was smarter than him so he presented Katya with three questions which was impossible to answer. Katya was smart and backfired the questions back to the Czar. The Czar was happy and proposed to Katya. Katya excepted the proposal but asked the Czar to promise one which was to let her take one thing with her back home from the castle if the Czar was fed up with her. So Katya married the Czar but after 1 year, the Czar was in bad mood and he quarelled with Katya. He asked her to go home. Katya took the thing she wanted most from the castle and left the castle. When Katya got home, she asked her father to open the lid of the big chest. The Czar was in the chest fast asleep.The Czar woke up and thought she had kidnaped him. Katya reminded him of his promise that if he was fed up with her and send her home, she would keep the thing she loved in the castle which was him. The Czar laughed and told the farmer that he was right and his daughter is the cleverest person in Russia and he will never send Katya away again.
