The Prince and His Friends (ધ પ્રિન્સ ઍન્ડ હીઝ ફ્રેન્કસ) રાજકુમાર અને તેના મિત્રો

Sohansen was a prince. He had three friends : Longer legs, Sharper eyes and Bigger belly. They had special powers. In that land, another king had a beautiful princess. Many young princes hoped to marry her. But the king, her father did not want his daughter to marry at all.

The king was a magician. So he set three difficult tests. Each day he would hide the princess at a different place. The prince had to find and bring her back to the palace. Many princes tried but failed in this test. So the king turned them into donkeys with his magic (magical power).

Sohansen went to the king. The king said, “I have hidden the princess somewhere. Find her out and bring her to me before the sunset.” Sharper eyes looked all around and said, “The princess is on the top of a mountain, a hundred miles away.”

Then Longer legs ran as fast as the wind. He came back with the princess before dark (sunset). The king was angry. The next day the king said, “I have hidden the princess somewhere else. Bring her back to me before the sunset.” Sharper eyes looked and said, “The king has turned her into a golden leaf, She is two hundred miles away.

The leaf is shaking (hanging) in the wind.” Longer legs ran faster than the wind. He came back with the princess before night fall (sunset). The king was angrier. On the third day the king said, “Come with the princess before sunset.”

Again Sharper eyes looked all around and said, “The princess is quite closer (very close, nearer). She is at the bottom of a very deep lake. The king has turned her into a silverfish.”

The four friends went to the lake. “Now It is my turn,” said Bigger belly. He started to drink the water. He drank and drank. The lake was almost empty. The prince caught the silverfish. The fish turned Into the beautiful princess. Both the prince and the princess were happy. They went to the king. The king became very angry. The king turned himself into a crow and flew away into the jungle.
