A little about the fairy tale

Its content, of course, differs from the plot of the Russian folk tale, all known. And the sources for its creation, according to some researchers, were the Arabic folklore of the Copts and Irving's legend "About the Arab star". And Cockerel - the golden scallop is not here in the role of a positive hero. Rather, it is a sword of retribution, an instrument of destiny, called upon to punish the careless King Dadon, who did not keep his promise and killed the astrologer.
