Chapter 102 101. Beautiful Honey, Beautiful Sun

Once upon a time there was a father who had two children, a son and a daughter.Both children were beautiful, and both had fair hair, so he named the boy Beautiful Honey and the girl Beautiful Sun.The father was a steward in the palace, and since the king lived in another country, he was also far away from his children.The king had never seen his two children, but he always praised them for their beauty, so he said to the steward, "Since you have such a handsome son, let him come to the palace, and I will let him be a page." The father went back and brought the boy, and left the daughter at home with the nurse; and beautiful honey became the king's attendant.The king liked him so much that even after his father's death, he kept him as a royal squire.And very trustingly let him dust the paintings in the studio.While beautiful Honey was dusting these paintings, she would stop at each portrait of a woman to admire them, so that the King always found him standing there with the duster in his hand, fascinated.

"What's so good about this painting?" "Your Majesty. This painting is nothing less than a portrait of my sister's beautiful sun." "I don't believe it, beautiful honey. I sent people all over the world to look for a girl like this painting, but I couldn't find it. If your sister looks like this, let her come here, and she will be my bride." Fair honey wrote to the wet nurse, telling her to bring the fair sun at once, because the king wanted her to be his wife.Then start waiting.Everyone may not know that this nurse also has a daughter, who is extremely ugly.She saw that the beautiful sun was so beautiful, she was very jealous.At the behest of the beautiful honey, the nurse took the beautiful sun and her ugly daughter on the journey together; this journey required crossing the sea, so the three of them boarded a large ship.

On board the beautiful sun fell asleep.The nurse began: "Look at this must-see! This girl is going to marry the king. Is luck supposed to be on her? Wouldn't it be better if my daughter married the king?" "That would be great!" said her daughter. Then the mother said, "Let me do it. I won't spare the coquettish girl." At this time, the beautiful sun woke up and said, "Nurse, I'm hungry." "I have bread and fish here, but I don't have enough for myself." "Good nurse, give me a piece." So the wretched woman gave her some bread and some fish, but she gave her almost all fish and no bread.So the girl was very thirsty, and the poor girl couldn't stand it, so she said to the nurse, "Nurse, I'm thirsty."

The mean woman said again: "I only have a little water. If you want to drink, I will give you sea water." The beautiful sun felt out of breath, so she said, "Give me sea water, too." But after she took a sip, she felt thirstier than before. "Nurse, I am thirstier." Then the cruel woman said again: "Now I'll give you a drink!" She grabbed the girl by the belt and threw her into the sea with a loud splash. At this time, a whale swam in the sea, saw the beautiful sun in the water, and swallowed her. The Nurse arrived at King's Harbor, and beautiful Honey was standing on the jetty, eager to embrace his sister.But it was the ugly girl in the bride's dress that he saw.His raised arm fell down, "What's going on? This is my sister? My sister with star-like eyes? My little sister with flower-like mouth?"

"Oh, my child, you know," said the nurse, "she was very ill; and in a few days it became so." The king stepped forward: "Ha, is this the beauty you boasted to me? Is this the girl who is as beautiful as the sun? I think she is really ugly. I am so stupid to believe you and agree to marry her Now, the king's promise can't be taken back, so I have to marry her. But you, useless servant, from today on, your job has changed, go and see the mother goose!" In this way the king married the nurse's daughter.But he treated her more like a cook than a wife.

At this time, the beautiful honey took the geese to the seaside to release.He sat on the beach, watching the mother geese swimming, thinking about his misfortune, thinking about the beautiful sun, as if he remembered her, but also as if he could no longer recognize her.At this time, he heard a voice from the bottom of the sea: "O whale, my whale, Stretch out your chain, reach the shore of the sea, My brother beautiful honey wants to talk to me. " Before the beautiful honey understood what the voice meant, a beautiful girl suddenly appeared from the bottom of the sea.One of her feet was tied with a chain.Not only was the girl exactly like, but she could be said to be, even he was sure, his sister, the beautiful Sun, who was even more beautiful than ever.

"Sister, why are you here?" "Brother, I am here because of the betrayal of the wet nurse." While telling her brother about her experience, she threw gold and pearls, as if she was feeding a goose. "What are you talking about, sister?" said poor beautiful Honey, startled. "It was the nurse who threw me overboard, and put her daughter in my place," said the fair sun, as she adorned the geese with colorful bows. It was getting late and the sea darkened. "Good-bye, brother," said the beautiful sun, and it sank gradually, pulled by a chain attached to the bottom of the sea.

Beautiful honey gathered the geese with bows and walked back along the coast.The geese sang: "Gollum! Gollum! We come from the sea, Eat gold and pearls, The beautiful sun is beautiful, as beautiful as the sun, Our lord the king will fall in love with her. " People passing by were dumbfounded when they heard it: they had never heard a goose singing like this before.In the evening, in the king's goose coop, the geese did not sleep, but sang all night: "Gollum! Gollum! We come from the sea, Eat gold and pearls, The beautiful sun is beautiful, as beautiful as the sun,

Our lord the king will fall in love with her. " A dishwasher heard the song, and went the next day to tell the king that the geese, which the fair honey had taken to release, had been singing it all night.The king listened casually at first, but then, becoming more and more interested, finally decided to follow the beautiful honeybee quietly when he went to herd the geese. Hiding in the bamboo forest, he heard a voice from the bottom of the sea: "O whale, my whale, Stretch out your chain, reach the shore of the sea, My brother beautiful honey wants to talk to me. " Then, a girl with one foot tied came out of the sea, and she swam all the way to the shore.Seeing her so beautiful, the king came out of the bamboo grove and said, "You are my bride." They became acquainted, and the king and the beautiful honey discussed how to free her from the whale that chained her.The king and the beautiful honey brought a rock as heavy as the beautiful sun, sawed off the chain, and fastened it to the stone.The king took the beautiful sun and brought her back to the palace, followed by a team of beautiful honey and mother geese.The geese sang:

"Gollum! Gollum! We come from the sea, Eat gold and pearls, The beautiful sun is beautiful, as beautiful as the sun, She is the bride of our master the King. " As soon as the nurse and her daughter heard the song and saw the procession, they fled from the palace, and were never seen again. (Rome area)
