In a distant kingdom, in a far-off realm, there lived a king. And he had three daughters. Three beloved princesses. But the king was always upset, and he greatly disliked that his beautiful daughters constantly didn't get along with each other and argued. They quarrelled always and everywhere: at dinner, on walks, at social gatherings.
One day during another scandal, something unprecedented happened. It suddenly became dark outside, a terrible thunder crashed, a bright lightning struck. And the princesses transformed... into dogs.
In the evening, before bed, the king went to his daughters to wish them sweet dreams. But his beloved daughters were nowhere to be found; three little dogs were sitting there instead. The king couldn't imagine that these were his beloved princesses and drove them out of the kingdom.
The princesses wandered about the countryside for a long time until they stumbled into a large dense forest. Everything here was new and unfamiliar to them. One sister-dog got her paw stuck in a tree crevice. No matter how hard she tried to pull it out, nothing worked.
Suddenly, another sister-dog approached her. She felt so sorry for her sister that, without hesitation, she helped pull her paw out. Oh, a miracle!!! The dog that had offered help immediately transformed back into a girl!
And so they continued on their way. Two dogs walked ahead, and behind them walked a girl-princess. Suddenly, an old man with a large basket of mushrooms appeared in their path. The old man suddenly tripped on a branch, fell, and the basket of mushrooms scattered all over the clearing.
One of the dogs quickly rushed to help the old man. She gave him her paw and the old man got up. The dog picked up the basket and collected all the mushrooms. The old man expressed his gratitude, and again an unprecedented miracle occurred: the dog transformed into a princess.
Now two sister-princesses walked together with one dog. But suddenly the dog perked up her ears: somewhere far away, someone was crying. She quickly rushed towards the sound of weeping. On a small stump sat a little boy. He was very frightened, all alone, and was crying because he didn't know how to find his way out of the thick dense forest.
The dog's heart ached; she felt so sorry for the boy. The dog showed him the way, accompanying him all the way home. And again a miracle happened! At that very moment, the last dog became a girl-princess.
The three sisters set off for their kingdom. They had missed their father the king very much, so they told him all about their adventures.
The king was overjoyed at the return of his daughters and made them promise that they would never quarrel or argue again.
And the adventure became a good lesson for the sisters.
