Golden bird

Golden bird

In ancient times, there was a king in the west, and his court planted a tree that would bear golden apples.

One day, one golden apple was missing from the tree. The king was very angry and determined to catch the thief with the golden apple, so he called the three princes and gave them the task.

In the evening of the next day, the eldest prince was guarding under the tree, guarding the golden apples on the tree. But in the middle of the night, the eldest prince fell asleep. After dawn, the king counted the golden apples and found that one was missing. He scolded the eldest prince, and then ordered the second prince to guard the apple tree.

The second prince also dozed off when he received it in the middle of the night. One more golden apple was missing, and the king was very angry and asked the third prince to guard the apple tree.

The third prince waited until midnight when he suddenly heard a strange sound. He looked up, ah, it turned out to be a beautiful golden bird flying to steal the golden apple. He shot an arrow at the golden bird, but unfortunately it missed, and the golden bird still flew away with the golden apple in its arms, losing only a few golden feathers.

The king was very happy when he saw the feathers, and ordered the eldest prince to find the golden bird.

After the eldest prince left the castle, he met a fox. The fox said, "You are looking for the golden bird. I tell you, there is a village ahead. When you stay tonight, don't live in that luxurious one, it is better to live in that humble one."

The eldest prince said rudely, "Who listened to the nonsense of you stupid fox." After speaking, he continued to walk forward.

The king could not wait for the news of the eldest prince, so he ordered the second prince to find the golden bird.

The second prince came to the luxury hotel where the eldest prince was staying and saw the eldest prince drinking. The second son and the eldest prince drank in a daze, forgetting about looking for the golden bird.

There was no news from the second prince, which made the king anxious. He asked the third prince to say, "You go find the golden bird! Go back quickly."

After the third prince left the castle, he also met the fox. The fox told the third prince what he had said to the first prince and the second prince.

The third prince expressed his willingness to listen to the fox, so the fox let him ride on his back, the fox ran quickly, and sent the third prince to live in the humble hotel.

The next morning, the fox said to the third prince, "I will take you to find the golden bird!" The third prince was very happy and rode on the fox's back like a horse. They walked very fast. Soon came to an old castle.

In the castle, the third prince saw the golden bird. Just as he was about to catch it, the golden bird suddenly shouted, "Come on, there is a thief."

The third prince was captured by the guards and brought to the king of the castle. The king said, "If you can find a golden horse, I will spare your life."

The third prince can only agree to this request, but where can I find the golden horse? He thought so, and walked out of the castle with his head down.

The fox appeared again, and it ran to another castle with the third prince on its back. In the stable of this castle, there was indeed a golden horse. Just as the third prince was about to take it away, the golden horse cried: "Come on, there are thieves!" The third prince was caught by the guards again and brought to the king of this castle.

The king said, "If I don't want to kill you, unless you can find the golden princess."

But where is the golden princess? Just when the third prince couldn't think of a way, the fox appeared. He carried the third prince to Jincheng. In the garden, he found the golden princess.

This time the fox used a spell to let the third prince get the princess. He also told him to pretend to give the princess to the king, and then ride a golden horse and run away with the golden princess. According to what the fox said, when he saw another king, he pretended to give him a golden horse, and after taking the golden bird, he rode on the golden horse and ran. In this way, the third prince not only got the golden bird, but also got a beautiful golden princess and a golden horse.

On the way home, the second prince found that his two older brothers had been caught and killed by others for owning too much money. It turned out that the eldest prince and the second prince spent all day drinking and drinking, and they could not afford to pay their debts. The third prince helped his two older brothers pay their debts and saved them. However, the eldest prince said that the second prince did not thank the third prince, but pushed the third prince into the well, and then snatched the golden princess, golden horse, and golden bird, and went home to receive the reward.

It was the fox who rescued the third prince from the bottom of the well.

The king was very happy to see that the chief worker and the second prince brought back the golden bird, as well as the golden horse and the golden princess. But the golden princess cried sadly every day. The golden horse did not eat grass, and the golden bird did not sing, and the king did not know why.

Just then, a beggar came to the palace. Strange to say, Princess Jin saw that he stopped crying, the golden horse was happy to eat grass, and the golden bird sang.

The king couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that this beggar was the third prince. Princess Jin told the king all the bad things that the first prince and the second prince had done in front of everyone.

After the king knew what happened, he decided that the third prince would be the heir to the throne and asked him to marry the golden princess immediately.

Later, everyone learned that the fox who often helped the third prince was actually the elder brother of the golden princess.

The angry mermaid princess just looked at the prince and flew into the pink and colorful depths with satisfaction!
