Of course, you can offer him to read the tale told by L. Yakhnin. Yakhnin lacks all the difficult-to-understand moments - the choice of the path, the sacrifice of the horse, the murder committed by the brothers of Ivan Tsarevich, and the return of the murdered man to life with the help of dead and living water. Yakhnin fills the resulting fairy tale gaps with bloodless, “kind” motivations: the wolf runs out to meet the traveler not to kill his horse (there are no pillars, no stones, no eaten horses here), but exclusively to thank Ivan Tsarevich. He spared his children on the hunt: now let Ivan Tsarevich mount the wolf, and it will run where it needs to. The beautiful maiden turns out to be the daughter of the Shah of Tarabar; he sends Ivan Tsarevich to save her and then happily joins hands.
