The Magic Ring
One father has three sons. The two older sons are clever. They go travelling and soon come home rich. The youngest son is not clever at all but he would like to be rich too.
So he goes travelling and comes to a small town. He sees two farmers. The farmers are chasing a dog. “Give me the dog,” says Johnny (that is the boy’s name). The farmers give him the dog.
Then Johnny sees a woman chasing a cat. “Give me the cat,” he says. The woman gives him the cat and the three travel together.
After some time they see a man and a snake. The man is chasing the snake. “Give me the snake,” says the boy. “OK, you can have it,” answers the man. So the three happy animals and Johnny travel on together.
The snake lives in the Snake King’s castle and is the King’s favourite. She takes her new friends to the Snake King. He is happy to see his friend again and gives Johnny a magic ring as a present. “Rub the ring,” says the King, “and you can have all you would like.”
So, Johnny thanks the King and goes home with his new friends. There he gives his father a bigger house with a nice garden, a cow, some horses, pigs and sheep. Johnny is rich now. He thinks he can marry the princess. She is very beautiful.
The princess doesn’t love Johnny. But he is rich and he has the magic ring. So, she says “yes” to Johnny. Johnny is happy. The beautiful princess would like to have the magic ring. She steals it and runs to her father. What can Johnny do? He understands the princess is not good and doesn’t love him.
Johnny asks his friends, the dog and the cat, to bring him the magic ring. The dog and the cat run to the princess’s castle and bring Johnny the ring. Johnny rubs his magic ring and says, “I wouldn’t like to be rich. I wouldn’t like to marry the princess. I would like to be happy again.”
