Now, one day the old man set out to market and he asked his daughters:

“What shall I buy you, dear daughters, what shall I please you with?”

“Buy us each a kerchief,” said the two elder daughters. “And mind it has big flowers on it done in gold.”

But his youngest daughter Maryushka stood silent, so the father asked her:

“And what would you like, Maryushka?”

“Dear Father, buy me a feather of Fenist the Bright Falcon.”

By and by the father came back with the kerchiefs, but the feather he had not found.

After a while the man went to market again.

“Well, daughters, make your orders,” said he.

And the two elder daughters replied eagerly: “Buy each of us a pair of silver-studded boots.”

But Maryushka said again: “Dear Father, buy me a feather of Fenist the Bright Falcon.”

All that day the father walked about the market and bought the boots, but the feather he could not find. And so he came back without it.

Very well, then. He set out on his way to the market for the third time and his elder daughters asked him: “Buy us each a new gown.”

But Maryushka said again: “Dear Father, buy me a feather of Fenist the Bright Falcon.”

All that day the father walked about the market, but still no feather. So he drove out of town, and who should he meet on the way but a little old man.

“Good day, Grandfather!”

• Power Quote

  Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid. - John Keats (1795 - 1821)
