Ukrainian folk tale [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Subhash.Jaireth at GA.GOV.AU]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to trace down an Ukrainian folk tale. The story is quite
'simple'. A prince challenges his people to guess his name. The condition is
a bit odd: those who guess it wrong would get gifts of gold and the one who
guesses it right would loose his head. A beautiful woman comes to him telling
him that she knows his name but by that time the prince has fallen in love
with her and wants to marry her. She accepts the proposal but on one
condition......

 

Can any one point me to the whole text (Russian or English)?

 

Thanks and best wishes

 

Subhash
