The Great King

Very long time ago, on the outskirts of a kingdom that ruled over the Good King grew a grove of rare beauty. In the midst of a grove spreads its mirror and crystalline freshwater lake.Children's stories - the good king
One day, Fairy Forest come to King:

        - Great King, speaks her, your worship to the Grand and I pray for you to hear me come up with a great request!

        - Say it kindly replied.

        - Sell my oak grove on the outskirts of the kingdom. I will make it a magical place where human breath can ceremonious to rest body and soul.
At first the king refused, and then after that think about and decide to give Fairy Grove. That was it - a good and generous man with soul. For the kingdom had risen to the throne to become rich and very powerful. Envy and often wore his neighbors spied him wanting to know where his power is hidden. For all the king had only one answer:

        - My power, he said, My kingdom is in my little children.

        - Mocks us and torture us, said the envious people. True, children of this kingdom are different from children in other kingdoms. Peonies bloom in their cheeks, patty health and what distinguishes them most is that they are always cheerful. But anyway ... A king like King of the Good will not hide power as fragile beings.

        - If I managed to find the secret, they were planning, then surely we get as strong as rich.
Time passes. All of them increased the Good King. Wealth and power is increased, only a sad thing: he and Empress hair already had snow, but God is not yet a worthy heir.

        - Who will stay all, often sad king. But her sadness disappear once recalled his small country of little children. Everyone have a great care and love, as if they were his own children. The orphans were brought to court. Emperor and Empress as they showed good will that poor looked to be alone in the world.

        Meanwhile Fairy Forest had kept his word. Pretended grove in a quiet, beautiful, in that once you're no longer wanted to go. Lots of cobblestone paths meandered among the trees ending in tall grass meadows and silky. Brebenuşii, viorelele and lăcrimioarele blooming year round, as if there was always spring. White furry bunnies, fluffy, graceful deer and deer walking around without fear among the elderly oaks, for any predator does not cross the border grove. Lake water was so clear that one may notice ceremonious pebble, grain of sand ceremonious its bottom. The colorful fishes frolic in clean water, water lilies blooming shore, and the nights when the moon looked like pairs of swans boats stationed. Banks of the lake, covered with golden sand, is twinned with a strip of grass that hemmed with flowers all day walking around waving their tails in the beautiful peacocks and peacocks proud.

        World came into the world to see this miracle. People simple observation that children grow sprinkled with water from the lake after the pool all year healthy and quiet sleep. Busy with affairs of the kingdom, King of the Good could not find any free moment to visit the Grove. Instead the aborigens as soon as they heard the story, the coming and stood with mouths gaping with astonishment.

        - Yes! He told them. Maybe our neighbor here hides his power. Its strength is the charm of the lake water.

        - To find a witch to make spells! Water to turn a plain water, then we will declare war on the King Good! We'll take it! Wealth and power! We will be rich and powerful!
Without second thoughts, set off in search Witch all the king's serveants. They wandered the earth far and wide. Finally dădură a hard skull of an old woman who still enjoy what you hear about it. Thing was that Baba had seven girls mother ugly fire. Tried all spells of the world to make beautiful kids, but nothing succeeded. Even dreamed one night that she and the girls will receive a new hearing only if they bathe in water from the lake edge enchanted kingdom of Good King. I still told in a dream that as soon as they enter the lake - the water will lose its charm. Asked the whole world how to reach the Good King of kings. Nobody will know and behold, one came to her fortune.

        Not to lose time, the Witch, her daughters and messengers to the king făcură repejor backtrack. But time had to pass until arriving in the land of Lake Grove and the water does wonders.

        At this time, without suspecting anything, the Good King continues with the same diligently to care for the country. Seeing how much heart put for others, just as no waiting - God give an heir. A child comes into the world so beautiful that you could look at the sun, but not to him.

        All kingdom feast for three days, then each seeks his own business. The only way the king could not peel off the little bed of his son. As if he was afraid that he would not smile, do not make any movement that does not observe. Forget that takes care of the whole kingdom.

        When the child reached his first year, the emperor took his son, put him in the coach and start climbing the kingdom. He was happy to know how loved he is. People shouting and cheers greeted him, but the good king, who now had eyes only son, not seen sad faces. Infants barefoot, poorly dressed, with pale cheeks start to come around to see the kingdom's heir.

        - From where they stray? The terrified king. Then, for fear of infection, fear for children's health - is quick to backtrack.
Arriving at the palace gave orders to collect and isolate all bums. But Prince is still sick. Lost their appetite, become sad, always crying, not wore any syllable and all this was cause for great concern for the Emperor. A physician is not known what brought everywhere the child. Parents would be able to give even the moon, but now watching helplessly as their scent melts by days.

        Once coudn't find o solution and having no idea what to do, the king dressed in street clothes and went peasant.

        - Can learn something from ordinary people, he thought. Meet a woman surrounded by a crowd of little children.

        - Are they all yours? he asked surprised.

        - Mine, Mine, of whom to be? She answered proudly.

        - They seem quite weak, but the main thing is that they are happy, still says the king.

        - Well, good man, the woman sighed. You know it's not easy to feed so many mouths. But we do not complain ... We give credence to our king ... Since God gave a child - no longer has time for others.

        - Yes, yes ... I know ... And we, here ... Troubled with a ... grandson. Cry and cry. Nothing is missing. Why complain, nobody knows.

        - Oh, good man, frightened woman shouted. Specifically that you did not spray with water magic. Take him immediately! To see how calm!

        - I have not heard ... What kind of water you talking about?

        - Listen carefully what I say! At the edge of our kingdom is a grove. The grove is enchanted by Fairy Forest Water. At the beginning of the year everybody takes little children and go in there. People throw their babies in water, little children as they splash heart lusts after the first round are happy, healthy, sleep well and have an appetite. Is that they have nothing else to eat ...

        - What do you mean? I throw? The frightened king. Not afraid to drown?

        - How to drown, good man? Water is magic! Keep your area! As a leaf, like a petal. Not once I was there. I saw them all myself. I swear that I tell you the truth! Take your nephew and go immediately! I'll mention as well.

The next day, through a gate side street, a coach out of the palace. Nobody knew that the coach is king, queen and prince. Caret evening reached the lake. Fate, however, that the king wanted to arrive a day later than the witch and her seven daughters. King had no way of knowing that as soon as witches threw it into the lake - water pulled them down. On the surface it rose eight frogs hideous. It was now their new look. And water lost its charm. Poor king hung his queen and left alone to unbridled horses. When turned on it did not find any, nor child. A cry, but not answered one. Only when the moon rises and about the light - he saw the great calamity that had happened. On the bottom of the lake, along with Prince, quiet as if sleeping, sitting queen. It seemed that his boy butterfly storehouse. Without hesitation, the king is thrown into the lake.

        The next day the Fairy Forest, as he did at the beginning of each year, come to renew the lake water. Is appalled by what he saw. With her magic stick touched the surface. Pricepând which is due to tragedy, with the same stick requires the eight frogs pretending it in eight bunches of ash. Immediately a light breeze lifted to its breaking them up into the vault of heaven. In a few moments the Emperor, Empress and their son rose to the surface. Alive and unharmed. King of the Good and his wife were now young, beautiful, shiny black hair that was only when he had played the wedding. Obrăjorii baby have brown, while the king laughed and cuddle him, pronounced the first word - father.

        They took the way back, but not before thanking God and fairies that all is well ended. But home a new misfortune expect them. In the king absence, war was declared by his neighbors. Even in those moments, on the border of the kingdom were given hard fought. Horse chestnut and king as soon as the wind rushed in the midst of war. Along with his brave soldiers, children who once cared for with much love and kindness, chase away the enemy and escape the country of slavery and humiliation.

        Only after the Good King understood that the country you love just as you love your son. But if you love your King and Country and love your son, just love them and the other sons.
As long as the Good King reigned in the kingdom have not been hungry and barefoot children. And they rose to the throne Prince, led with such wisdom and kindness that people rightly said King the Wise and Good.
