Long ago, there was a beautiful little princess who liked to climb trees. “Behave
like a lady and stop climbing trees,”
said her parents. But the child did not listen and went on climbing all sort of
trees.
Years went by and she had grown up. By now she was an expert
in climbing trees. Her parents grieved. “Who will marry a rough woman?” said
her mother sadly. Her father replied, “We will make use of the situation. I will
offer her at climbing tree.
After the King’s offer was announced, soon the palace was
swamped with suitors who could climb trees. Most of them were terrible, only a
few were good. The princess said “Never mind, father. Now let me set a test and
perhaps some good will come of it”. Then she turned to the suitors and asked, “
Do you agree that you were beaten fairly?” “No,” they all roared except one, “
We think it was magic or some sort of trick.” But one said,”yes.” Yes,” he
said, I was beaten fairly.” The princess was touched by his honesty. The princess
smiled and turning to her father. She pointed to this man and said,” If he
likes me, I will marry him.”
