64. THE FOUR FRIENDS AND THE KING’S RING #Inspirational Moral Stories

 

Once, a king possessed a magic ring. He was told that so long as he wore it,

he would remain king. One day, the king lost his ring! Greatly worried, he

announced that he would let his daughter marry anyone who gave him his

ring. Many tried to find it, but failed.

A youth with three exceptional mates, decided to try his luck. His first friend,

called Lynx-eyes, could see through doors. Man Mountain, his second friend,

appeared to be a small mountain on lying down. The third friend, Long John,

could stretch for miles when he lay down.

Lynx-eyes saw the ring sticking to a rock on the sea floor. Man Mountain

knelt down and drank the entire sea water, while Long John lay down to

make a bridge. Man Mountain brought the ring and gave it to the youth, who

now married the princess.
