Prince
sees the Rainbow Lady:
Once upon a time, in a kingdom in Sweeland, there lived a prince who
was very handsome. He loved to have many adventures. Once he saw the
Rainbow Lady, something who he had never heard or seen before. The
Rainbow Lady swept past in her seven bright colors. She had a very
beautiful face full of joy, and the prince looked in wonder at the
sight. When the rainbow lady went away, the prince thought if he had
dreamt it all. He hurried back to his palace.
Prince
falls in Love:
And at once went
to his father and asked him "Father! Father! Who was that pretty
lady in the sky who just went by?". The king saw that his son's
face was full of excitement. "You just saw a Rainbow Lady"
said his father, "She is the daughter of Rain lord". "Oh!"
Said the prince sadly and went to eat his supper. That night he could
not get sleep. In the morning he could not eat his breakfast nor his
lunch.
Prince
informs his father, the king:
The king got worried.
He took his son to another room and asked him what the matter was?
"Well ! the matter is that I love the Rainbow Lady and want to
ask her for her hand in marriage" said the prince. At this his
father laughed and said "May be you could. The Rain Lord is a
very dear friend of mine" . At this, the Prince gave a load cry
and said "Then why don't you ask your friend the Rain Lord to
marry his daughter to me".
They
meet the Rain Lord, the father of the Rainbow Lady:
That evening they
took off in a carriage to the sky. The carriage rode high up in the
air till they reached the castle of the Rain Lord. As soon as they
reached the castle, the RainLord was on his way out to make some heavy
rain. But as soon as he saw the king, he ran to him with a hug. The
Rain Lord was very happy to see the King. The king and the prince
entered into the Rain Lord's palace. There they saw everything wet.
Soldiers roamed around in their wet cloths. As they went in further,
wetmaids bowed to them.
The
king tells about the Prince's desire:
Suddenly the Rainbow
Lady appeared in her seven colours. She was surprised to see her father
coming back. Her father took all of them into the hall. Then the king
began to explain his son's desire. The Rainlord looked a bit confused.
He sat thinking for a while. Meanwhile his daughter was listening.
She said'
"Oh! Father, I do not know how strong or clever he is. He might
be stupid! I must test him out".
The Pricess sets a test:
"Here is a thousand goatskin bags. And you must fill them up
with water before my dragon does". As she said this the prince
found himself near a stream. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
