NAME:
A king had aged and wanted to name the next king.
He had three children, but he didn't know which one was fit to become king. So he had an idea: he summoned his children to his cabinet and said:
- Sons! I'm old, I have to choose one of you as the next king, but for that you have to pass a test. You have to bring a magic flower for me. This flower grows in a beautiful garden, in a magical castle. This castle is in the middle of a forest to the north. Whoever brings this flower to me will become the next king.
So the three princes set out in search of the magic flower. They rode together towards the north and soon reached the forest where there was a magical castle. There, they found an elf.
– Who are you and what brings you here? - Asked the elf.
“We are the princes of a great kingdom,” said the eldest prince. – Our father asked us to find a magical flower that grows in the garden of a magical castle.
“You three cannot enter the forest together,” said the elf. 'Only one of you can get in there and you have to get out before midnight or you will be trapped.
The eldest prince was very greedy. He entered the forest first. When he arrived at the castle, he saw a pile of gold that was near the gate. The prince forgot the flower and started to collect the gold.
Soon it was midnight and he was trapped in the forest.
When he noticed that the eldest prince had not returned, the second prince decided to enter the forest. He arrived at the castle and saw various fruits and sweets near the castle gate. The second prince loved to eat and immediately began eating the fruits and sweets. When he had eaten enough, he lay down on the grass and fell asleep.
Soon it was midnight and the second prince was also imprisoned in the forest.
So, the youngest prince got worried and decided to go into the forest.
– I have to get the flower and save my brothers.
When the young prince arrived at the castle, he saw a pile of gold, but he didn't stop and entered the castle. Inside the castle, he found a beautiful fairy who gave him a magical flower. The prince thanked the fairy, she told him to make a wish and the prince wished his brothers to return. The fairy granted her request and the three princes were reunited, and when they arrived in his realm, the king named the youngest prince as the new king.
