HOW SIMPLE SIMON BECAME KING #Inspirational Moral
Stories
Hearing
from the king’s messenger that the princess would marry the most
amusing
man, Simple Simon went to the palace on a goat! On his way, he
gathered
a dead crow, a worn-out wooden shoe, and a lump of mud. All the
suitors
became dumbstruck inside the grand palace, and the lovely princess
rejected
them. But on entering the court, Simon complained: ‘It’s too hot!’
The
princess said: ‘All the ovens are burning, to prepare for my wedding
feast.’
Simon happily took out the dead crow, and said: ‘I can cook this also.’
‘But all
the pots and pans have been put to use,’ the princess said. ‘I have
this,’
said Simon, showing her the wooden shoe. ‘But what will you do for
the
sauce?’ the princess said with a laugh. He then showed her the lump of
mud. The
princess had never been so amused, and decided to marry Simple
Simon.
