Fairy-tale

The willow

Once upon a time…

There was once a Prince who wished to marry a real kind girl; but the king wanted him to marry a Princess. The king was so strict, that prince extremely frightened of him. The king gave him a month to find such kind of lady. Prince travelled all over the world in hopes of finding such a lady who was kind and a princess; but there was always something wrong.

At last he returned to his palace. He was so upset; even he didn’t know what to say about it to his father. With a bad mood he went outside, somehow he came near to the river. There he saw one girl, who was really beautiful with her long black hair. She was singing a magic song. Everything there was listening to it. Butterflies were fluttering; lambs were romping as a note of song.

Prince was bewitched by her beauty. He came near to her and they stared each other. They fell madly in love.

So prince made a habit to come and see her every day. They spent their time together perfectly. But prince never said about his love to the king. One time, the king was aware that his son meets with a girl who was poor. He prohibited the prince to go out and married him to a princess. From this time he started forgetting about his beloved.

The girl strongly loved the prince. So she waited for him near the river every day. She cried so long, she never stopped waiting. But he didn’t come.

After a long period of time the girl transformed into a tree, while the Prince was living with her Princess. The tree was really beautiful which has thin and long branches that hang down. It was a willow. If you go near to the river, it still sounds its unhappy song…
