THE SON OF THE TSAR AND THE WITCH’S NIECE #Inspirational Moral
Stories
A prince
saw a charming young girl, who had learnt how to do magic from
her
aunt, a witch. Both fell in love. He took her to his palace, but said he
would go
alone first to inform his father, the tsar. The girl warned the prince
not to
kiss his sister or he would fall under a spell, and forget all about her.
But the
prince kissed his sister on meeting her, and forgot his sweetheart.
Days
flew by and the prince became engaged to a princess. There was great
rejoicing.
The witch’s niece baked a huge cake. As soon as the prince cut it,
two
doves flew out. The she-dove flew off with a piece of cake. When the
second
dove asked her to share it with her, the she-dove said: ‘I can’t. If I do,
you’ll
forget me just as the prince forgot his first love.’ Like magic, the
prince
remembered everything! He called his true love and married her
amidst
gay revelry.
