The Tsar of the Sea

Sadko played so fast his fingers grew numb, but he kept on plucking. As the rhythm grew more frantic and furious, the Tsar of the Sea began to jump and twist around. Sadko was having so much trouble keeping up with the Tsar that soon he was playing out of tune. Soon, he felt a gentle touch on his shoulder. Still playing, he turned his head and saw one of the daughters of the Tsar. She said: "My father's dancing will bring great destruction to the ships and cities of the Caspian Sea"
