Read:
There once was a prince who was very cruel and he was very jealous of his father. One day, he called a meeting of the soldiers to come up with a plan to defeat his father.
“I want all of you to send the king to a faraway land,” he told them.
The queen heard about this plan and was very furious, she called the prince and questioned him. This left the prince stunned and speechless. The king and queen wanted to teach the prince a lesson and ordered the same army to take him to a faraway land and lock him in a lonely tower. And so they did. The prince was taken to a lonely tower and locked there until he realized his mistake.
– Forgive! – he shouted from the tower, but there was no one to hear him.
One day he saw a horse passing by the tower and he yelled at it to stop. The horse stopped and the prince jumped from the tower onto the horse. He then told the horse to take him back to the palace. He returned and apologized to the king and queen, and they forgave him for his mistake.
