THE FLYING TRUNK #Inspirational Moral Stories
A
handsome, young lad had a unique treasure: an old, flying trunk! He would
lock
himself in it and go anywhere. One day, he reached a far-off city and
heard
that the czar’s daughter was locked-up in a tall tower, as her father
didn’t
want her to meet any man who may break her heart. Curiosity drove
him to
fly to the top of the tower. The princess and he fell in love! The king
and
queen felt that the youth had landed from the heavens, and agreed to let
their
daughter marry him. The entire kingdom rejoiced. The youth used his
flying
trunk to let off a splendid display of fireworks, and then mingled with
the
crowd. But when he returned to the trunk, it had been completely burnt by
the
falling sparks! He could not fly any more. They say the princess still
looks at
the sky, waiting for him to return!
