THE CRYSTAL PALACE #Inspirational Moral Stories
Once, a
prince and a princess loved each other deeply and were engaged to be
married.
A jealous magician kidnapped the princess. The prince desperately
searched
for her. At long last, he learnt that the wicked magician had
imprisoned
her in a castle with tall crystal walls, which were so smooth that
not even
a fly could climb them. He reached the castle and stood outside.
Hearing
some cries from nearby, he went and saw three old, hideous witches
caught
in a swamp. He turned to go, but their pitiful cries made him rescue
them.
The
grateful witches gifted him three things: a cloak that would make him
invisible,
a flying horse, and a stick that would open any door. The prince
wore the
cloak, flew on the horse to the highest tower, and opened the prison
door
with the magic stick! Returning to safety, the princess and prince soon
got
married, and eagerly welcomed the three witches to their wedding feast!
