Wife's ingenuity saved imprisoned Russian czar TELL ME A STORY Folk tales for families from around the world chopped off her long curls and dressed herself in the clothing of a traveling minstrel.

Then she took a small harp she had long ago hidden in a cupboard, and she set off on the road. She did not tell a soul. When she arrived at the wicked king's palace, she walked into the courtyard, and there she began to play her harp. The music drifted up into the palace windows, and when the king heard the harp's song, he stopped everything. "Listen," he cried to his ministers and guards.

The czarina waited patiently, hoping one day she might learn where her husband had gone. And then, at long last, a traveler came, bearing a note from the czar. The czarina quickly tore open the note and read of his ordeal.

He ended with this instruction: "Sell all of our possessions and come to rescue me from my misfortune."

"Such a journey would be far too difficult for you," he said, and his ministers agreed that life on the road was no life for such a lady. So the czar set off on his own. After a few days' journey, the czar reached a land where a wicked king ruled.

When the king learned that a Russian czar had dared to cross his borders, he ordered his guards to seize him and throw him into the dungeon. There the czar sat imprisoned in chains at night, and the king forced him to do hard labor from dawn to dusk. He fed him little.
