(1799 – 1837)Alexander Pushkin is known as Russia’s greatest poet. During a time when most great literature was being written in French and English, Pushkin revolutionized Russian literature with narrative poems, love poems, political poems, short stories, novels, plays, histories, and fairy tales. Pushkin’s skeptical mind and sense of irony helped him capture what it means to be Russian, winning the hearts of hiscountrymen. His writing style has distinctive rhythmic patterns that are nearly impossibleto translate, so non-Russian speakers havenot always been able to appreciate thetrue power and beauty of his work.

They were poor and lived in an old, mud hut near the sea. One morning, something unusual happened while the fisherman was at work. He caught a small, golden fish in his net. The fish begged the fisherman to let him go and offered to grantthe fisherman any wish in return. However,the man was kind and asked for nothingbefore returning the fish to the sea.4The man went home and told his wife about the fish. Sheshouted at him angrily and called him a fool for not making a wish. She sent him back to the sea to catch the fish and ask for a new bucket because their bucket was broken. The Sun was shining as the man met the fish again and when he returned, he saw a new bucket. But the fisherman’s wife was still not happy and wanted a new house. The weather was getting bad as the man explained to the fish about his rude wife. The fish comforted him and promised to grant the second wish. When he returned, he saw a nice, new cottage.4-212344-3123The next day, his wife said that she wanted to be mayor ofthe city. The waves were getting big and the sky was becomingdark as the man apologized to the golden fish. Again, like thewishes before, this wish was granted. When he returned, he found his wife dressed in expensive clothes and giving orders to servants. She told her husband that he still had to sleep in the hut even though she now had a bigger house. She was a very greedy woman and the following week she demanded to be queen of all the land.44-4123Again the fisherman went down to the shore. By now there was a terrible storm. There was thunder and lightning, and giant waves in the sea. The man shouted as loudly as he could so that the fish could hear him. This time the fish did not reply and turned around to swim out to sea. The fisherman waited but the golden fish never came back. When the man returned home, he found his wife in the old, mud hut holding their broken bucket.4After you read5-112 Find words or phrases to match the meanings in the story.Aa long time ago ______________________
