About the Hunchback Skate

Here the horse waved his tail,
He dipped his muzzle into those cauldrons,
He snorted at Ivan twice,
He whistled loudly.
Ivan looked at the skate
And he immediately dived into the cauldron,
Here into another, there into a third, too,
And he became so handsome,
What not to say in a fairy tale,
You can't write with a pen!
Here he is dressed up in a dress,
The tsar bowed to the maiden,
I looked around, cheering up,
With an important air, like a prince.

I read "The Humpbacked Horse" with my daughter.
The child asks, "Why did Ivanushka just become handsome?
I replied that I didn 't know .
 The daughter thought about it, and then said - and I know... there are no smart kings! If you are handsome and smart, then you will become like a Hunchback skate....
