By Irina Domenti Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who lived in a palace with her father, the King, and her mother, the Queen. She was the single child, so her parents allowed her to do anything she wanted, except going in the wood. She used to play with other girls from the palace near a lake which is between the palace and the wood. One day she told to girls: “Let’s go in the wood. We will have a better time there by listening to the birds’ songs and picking flowers!” “But we don’t have to. The King doesn’t allow to anyone to go in the wood. They say there is a big and dangerous wolf”, said a girl. “That’s just a legend. Nobody has ever seen a wolf there”, said the princess. When the sun was near the twilight the girls returned in the palace, except the princess. She was tempted to go in the wood. “I’ll just pick some flowers and I’ll return to palace immediately”, said the princess to herself. So she came into the wood and she was enchanted by its beauty: birds singing, a lot of colorful flowers. She jumped of happyness, she ran and picked some flowers. At a moment she stopped and she realized that she went too deep in the wood. She tried to find the way back, but she couldn’t. Suddenly she heard a strange voice. That was a wolf’s voice. “It’s not a legend. The Big Wolf exists”, said the princess. Then she began to run and cried. Her call was heard by a prince who was from the kingdom from the other side of the wood. He and his friends were The Princess and the Big Wolf
Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who lived in a
palace with her father, the King, and her mother, the Queen. She
was the single child, so her parents allowed her to do anything she
wanted, except going in the wood. She used to play with other girls
from the palace near a lake which is between the palace and the
wood.One day she told to girls:Lets go in the wood. We will have a
better time there by listening to the birds songs and picking
flowers!But we dont have to. The King doesnt allow to anyone to go
in the wood. They say there is a big and dangerous wolf, said a
girl.Thats just a legend. Nobody has ever seen a wolf there, said
the princess.When the sun was near the twilight the girls returned
in the palace, except the princess. She was tempted to go in the
wood.Ill just pick some flowers and Ill return to palace
immediately, said the princess to herself.So she came into the wood
and she was enchanted by its beauty: birds singing, a lot of
colorful flowers. She jumped of happyness, she ran and picked some
flowers. At a moment she stopped and she realized that she went too
deep in the wood. She tried to find the way back, but she couldnt.
Suddenly she heard a strange voice. That was a wolfs voice.Its not
a legend. The Big Wolf exists, said the princess. Then she began to
run and cried. Her call was heard by a prince who was from the
kingdom from the other side of the wood. He and his friends were
hunting in the wood in that night. When he heard the princess
crying he went straight to her. They saw the wolf and killed it.
The King and the Queen were very anxious about the absence of their
daughter. The girls told them that they couldnt convince the
princess not to go in the wood. So the soldiers from the palace
started to look for her.Late in the night the prince brought the
princess on his horse. The King and the Queen were very happy that
their daughter was well. The prince remained at the palace some
days. In that time they fell in love. The prince asked the princess
to marry him. One week later they married and they lived happily
ever after.
