Chapter 124 The Story of the Sea Maiden and Her Son-16

Princess Helan cast a spell and turned Bailu Babu into a bird. He was sent to the big island with lush forests and flowing water by the kind maid. So when he was hungry, he picked wild fruits to satisfy his hunger. After drinking water from the river, it passed for many years, but I didn't know where to go. In addition, I couldn't fly, so I just wandered around all day long, at a loss. One day, a hunter came to the island to hunt. He was very happy to see the cute bird with white feathers, red beak and red feet transformed by Bailu Babu. He thought: "This bird is very beautiful. Such a cute flying bird I’ve never seen it before.” So he cast the net, caught it, and brought it to the city, thinking to himself, “If I sell it, I can use the money to live well.”

"How much are you going to sell this bird for?" someone in town asked him. "What are you buying it for?" "Buy, kill, eat." "How can such a beautiful and lovely bird have the heart to kill and eat it?" The hunter thought, "I want to present it to the king. The king will keep it in the palace to appreciate. In this way, the king will reward me very much. Besides, I I have been hunting all my life, no matter the animals in the mountains or the fish and shrimps in the sea, I have never seen such a cute little thing." So the hunter took the bird to the palace.When the king saw it, he was immediately attracted by the beautiful bird with white feathers, red beak and red feet, and asked his servants to buy it from the hunter.The servant was ordered to ask the hunter:

"Do you want to sell this white bird?" "Not for sale, this is a gift for the king." The servant came to the king with the white bird in his hands, and reported the hunter's words to the king. The king accepted the gift and rewarded the hunter with ten gold coins.The hunter took the reward, knelt down and kissed the ground, then got up and left.The servant locked the white bird in an exquisite birdcage and hung it in the palace for the king to enjoy.When the king finished his business, he ordered his servants: "Where is that white bird? Bring it to me, and let me enjoy it. By Allah, that bird is absolutely beautiful."

The servant brought the white bird and placed it before the king. Seeing that the white bird didn't eat any food in the cage, the king was surprised and sighed: "I swear to Allah, I don't know what it wants to eat. If I know, I will get it and feed it." Servants prepare food.The servants set out a feast for the king to eat and drink.Seeing the meat, pastries and fruits in the banquet, the white bird flew out of the cage and began to eat and drink.The king and the guests felt strange.The king said to the left and right: "I've never seen a bird on this diet."

The king was amazed and ordered his attendants to ask the queen to come out and watch. The attendant was ordered to go to the harem and said to the queen: "Your Majesty invites your mother to go and watch a rare event. Your Majesty has just bought a lovely white bird. We made a feast for Your Majesty, but the bird flew like a human. On the table, eat all kinds of food in the banquet. Niang Niang, go and see, the bird is extremely beautiful. This is really a rare and strange thing in the world." After hearing the attendant's report, the queen hurriedly left the harem and came before the king.She was curious, and when she saw Shiratori, she looked very seriously.After looking at it, he suddenly covered his face, turned around and left.The king hurriedly got up, chased after him, and said:

"There are no outsiders here! Why do you cover your face and avoid it?" "Your Majesty, what you bought is not a bird, he is a man just like you." "Stop talking nonsense! Why are you so fond of joking! How could it not be a bird?" "No, I didn't joke with His Majesty. It's all true. This white bird is the incarnation of King Bailu Bab. His father is the King of Persia named Heruman, and his mother's name is Sea Pomegranate Flower." "Huh? Then why does he look like this?" "He was bewitched by Princess Helan, daughter of King Thurmandel."

The Queen related the events. Hearing the queen's narration, the king was very surprised.It turns out that the queen is a person who is good at magic, so she knows the mystery.The king said to her: "I swear on my life, please be kind, remove the magic on him, and don't let him suffer any more. How ugly is that murderous and treacherous Princess Helan! It's devoid of conscience!" Allah punished her by cutting off her hands." "You have someone take Bailu Babu to the storage room." The king obeyed the queen's order and had the bird put in the storeroom.The queen covered her face, took a bowl of water, went to the storage room and muttered a mantra, sprinkled water on him, and said: "By Allah who created the universe, distributed food and clothing, and limited life Your wish, you get rid of this appearance and return to your original form."

As soon as she finished speaking, the white bird suddenly shook, turned into a human, and returned to its original appearance.A beautiful boy unparalleled in the world appeared in front of the king.Bailu Babu restored his human image and said happily: "Allah is the only master, and Muhammad is his apostle. Praise be to Allah, he created human beings and arranged everything for them." Then he kissed The hand of the king, pray and bless him. The king kissed his forehead affectionately and said, "Bailu Babu, tell me what happened to you from beginning to end."
