A messenger, from a distant kingdom, needed to deliver a very important message to his king.
Long ago, the king suffered from an incurable disease. However, the messenger found in the village where he lived, a healer capable of producing a medicine, from rare herbs. So the faithful messenger decided to make a long journey to the king's palace to warn him.
However, a spy crow, of an evil sorcerer, told the news to his master.
The sorcerer tried to stop the messenger from delivering the good news to the king and cast a spell, which caused the wind blew strong to drag the man and the sun became so hot that it prevented him from to walk.
