The Lovely Queen and the Lovely Golden Bird

One day, a lovely Queen woke up and saw a beautiful Golden Bird at her window. She thought it was cute so she picked the Golden Bird up and gave her food everyday.
As she came to the palace, she said, “No body can take away this beautiful Golden Bird.” But the thief wanted to steal the magic Golden Bird.

So the thief got some poison and he made it into some medicine. He turned himself into an ugly old witch. The poison could get the Queen to sleep forever.
However, the King learnt this and told the Queen that a thief was making a poison. He asked the Queen to stay at home.

The king had a plan:
 “When the thief was in the palace, he will ask me where is the Queen. I will say I don’t know. Then he will come to your house, and you must pretend to sleep.”

The palace was close to the Queen’s house. However, finally the Queen was captured by the thief. The Golden Bird followed, and was staying there to sing her magic song everyday.
The Queen loved the Golden Bird so much, she said, “I will never let you fly away.”

One day, the Queen wanted to have a ride to escape, so the Golden Bird gave the Queen a ride. The Golden Bird flew a long time and they escaped successfully.
The Golden Bird was happy to stay with such a lovely Queen, so she was always with the Queen.

Editor’s comments:
Unlike the classic story of Nightingale, the Golden Bird and the Queen stays together forever and they both enjoy each other’s company. It is very creative. The bird is so big that it can even carry the Queen to fly away!
