The woodcutter marries the princess

Once, a poor boy in the mountains cutting firewood came to a beautiful small lake. The lake was as turquoise as a jewel and as clear as the blue sky. The boy was tired, so he sat under a pine tree to rest. Suddenly, he saw a large turtle emerge from the lake swimming in the water. It looked around and went into the water.

Soon after that, a green dragon emerged from the deep water. It also looked around in all directions, and then also went into the water. After a while, the lake water clattered for the third time. On the surface of the lake appeared the princess of the Dragon Palace, she was as beautiful as a fairy, sitting on the lake combing her hair.

The woodcutter saw this beautiful fairy, and could not help but sigh loudly.

But the sigh just fell, the lake above a flash of red light, and the beautiful princess disappeared. The princess suddenly disappeared, and the woodcutter almost lost his mind. He ran to the edge of the lake and did not hesitate to follow the princess to jump into the water.

The poor faggot took a long time to fall to the bottom of the lake, but the strange thing is that there is no water at the bottom of the lake. It was as bright and shiny as on land, and a tall house loomed in the distance.

The woodcutter walked happily toward the house. As soon as he reached the house, a look, a big shock, this is not the Dragon Palace? There were two black dragons guarding the entrance, one of them looked at the woodcutter and immediately ran to the palace to report who was coming.

Princess Dragon King instructed it to put the boy in. When he stood respectfully in front of her, she began to ask him carefully where he came from. How did he get here?

"It's like this,"

The woodcutter told the beautiful princess that he saw something and did something.

When the Dragon Princess heard this, her face tripped red with shame. That was her fiancé standing in front of her! She had a promise a long, long time ago: she would marry the first man who saw her face. But it would be unseemly for her to say this in person to the faggot. So she asked her uncle to say it for her. Her uncle is a very old dragon, it has lived for a thousand years, can become human, and speak human.

The poor boy heard this, just as he wished, and agreed without hesitation. So the Dragon Princess became the wife of the poor woodcutter.

For a long time the two lived happily together, and one day, the woodcutter suddenly remembered his old mother, which happened to be her 80th birthday. The poor woodcutter told the princess that he wanted to go to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday. The princess agreed, gave him a small bottle as he was on his way, and said to him.

"When you need something, tell this vial and you will get it."

The mother of the woodcutter had long thought that her son had been eaten by a tiger on some mountain. When she was reunited with him after such a long separation, she was so joyful that she did not know what to do. Immediately after meeting his mother, he took out a vial and said, "Bring me good wine and twenty good dishes! And a troupe that has prepared thirty good plays!"

Just when he had finished, everything he had asked for appeared before him. The young man invited all the neighbors to celebrate his mother's birthday together.

After the birthday congratulations, the woodcutter took his mother to the lake, took her in his arms, jumped into the water, and lived happily together at the bottom of the lake.
