The forest is mysterious-the thick trunk of the old bodhi tree casts a dark shadow; Moonlight through the cracks in the branches and leaves, painted strange patterns on the ground; Bodhi flowers smell like a church. The prince drifted off, strolled on the soft grass, and unconsciously walked into another forest and grass. He saw a magical little fairy standing on the grass in the moonlight. The fairy wore a snow-white dress, and the flowers embroidered with gold thread sparkled. Her long hair hangs freely over her shoulders, and she wears a dazzling gold crown with main gems. This fairy is really small, just like a puppet! The prince stopped and stared at her unblinkingly. Suddenly, the fairy spoke, her voice louder than the bell:
"Good prince! I was invited, too, but I didn't have the courage to come to dinner because I was too young. The moonlight at the moment is sunshine to me, and I want to congratulate you in this moonlight! "
The sudden arrival of this strange girl didn't frighten the prince. He loves this small and exquisite fairy. The prince walked up to the little fairy and held her hand. But suddenly, she broke free and disappeared. The only thing left in the prince's hand was the fairy's little glove. It was too small, so the prince finally put it on his little finger. Unhappy, he returned to the palace and kept his adventures under the old bodhi tree secret in front of anyone.
The next night, the prince went into the Woods again, wandering in the bright moonlight, looking for a petite fairy.
But there's no sign of her anywhere. Full of melancholy, the prince took out his gloves from his arms and kissed them. At this time, the fairy has appeared in front of him. The prince was too surprised to speak! His heart is pounding in his chest!
They walked in the moonlight for a long time, telling each other their worries with joy. Strange to say, when they were in love, in the eyes of the prince, the petite fairy obviously grew up. By the time we parted, the fairy had grown to twice its original size overnight. In this way, she can't wear that little glove. She gave the little gloves to the prince and said:
"You take this little glove as a promise and take good care of them."
As soon as the words fell, she disappeared again.
"I want to hold your little gloves in my arms!" Cried the prince.
From then on, the prince and the fairy met under the old bodhi tree in the forest every night. During the day, the sun shines, and the prince is driven crazy. He misses his beloved fairy every day and is always worried about it. At dusk, when the moon reaches the zenith, he always guesses: Will my fairy come tonight? The prince loves the petite fairy more and more passionately, and the fairy grows up day by day. In Kuya, the moon is as round as a silver plate and the fairy is as tall as a prince.
"In the future, as long as the moon is at noon, I will come to your side every night." The fairy said happily and gently.
"No, dear! I can't live without you! You should be my wife and I want you to be the queen! "
"My sweetheart!" The fairy replied, "I will be your wife, but you must promise me that you will only love me all my life!" " "
"I promise, promise!" The prince blurted out without thinking, "I promise to love you and never look at others."
"OK, but don't forget-when you break your promise, I won't be your wife anymore."
Three days later, they got married The guests were surprised at the beauty of the little fairy.
The prince and his young wife live happily. Seven years later, the old king died suddenly and many people attended the funeral. Some of the most beautiful and outstanding women in China are crying beside coffins.
One of them is a beautiful woman with black eyes and brown hair. She neither prayed to God nor mourned for the dead king, but stared at the young prince. The prince was very happy when he found a beautiful woman with brown hair whose eyes were always fixed on himself.
When the funeral procession came to the mausoleum, the prince and his wife looked at the beautiful woman with black eyes arm in arm three times. Suddenly, his wife tripped over her skirt and almost fell.
"Oh, look, my skirt is too long." She said loudly.
Really, the prince was surprised to find that his wife was getting shorter.
After burying the old and dead king, people returned to the palace. The brown-haired beauty followed the prince, always close; The prince also secretly reviewed it over and over again. In this way, the prince did not realize that his wife had become a fairy again. As soon as they reached the bottom of the bodhi tree, the little fairy disappeared ... The prince married a beautiful woman with brown hair and black eyes. However, he didn't have a good time with his new wife for three days. At first, the beauty asked to buy a bed full of diamonds. But this is really just the beginning. As soon as one requirement was met, she immediately put forward another, and both of them were tricky and eccentric requirements that no one expected. If the prince can't give her what she wants, she will suddenly cry and curse her husband. The beauty was so greedy that the prince got tangled up and finally kicked her out of the palace.
Only then did the prince regret having made a big mistake. He sighed deeply and missed the petite fairy. Every noon of the moon, the prince will still walk into the grove and call his beloved and kind fairy under the bodhi tree.
The prince looked for his little fairy, calling and expecting until his hair turned white. However, the petite fairy never returned to him. ...
