Once there was a storyteller who spun the most beautiful fairytales.
One day, a boy, not too short and not too tall came to see the storyteller and said,"I would like to live forever, Sir." And the wise storyteller replied, "I will do this for you if you help me send a message to my enemy, the Enchantress."
"She is beautiful beyond compare, but is evil and those caught in her lair stay there. Forever."
The storyteller continued,"The Enchantress wants more than anything else in this world, a wizard in the shape of a cat which stays in the black and white mansion."
"To go to the mansion, take this road until you see the moon. Enter the mansion, and you will see a lady dining with a leopard. Ignore her."
"Then you will enter a chequered room. There is a girl. And a cat. You must bow to her and say, "Good morning my lady.Tell me what your heart desires."
"The little girl will cry and tell you she wants to see her sister, the Lady of The Forest."

ReplyDeletelovely....thanks for sharing..NINOTAZIS...is a wonderful set of letters also
ReplyDeleteawe-inspiring, I must say, though I have no tales to say...let the boy go through what may.
ReplyDeleteGiven a choice I enjoy this above any poems, the latter would normally be too complicated for my old computer to analyse. wWhat a beauty this one truly is.
ReplyDeleteNinot Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteThis is a second comment mainly because it's announcing blogger Norzah's poem at my 'Rainbow' blog. Cheers!
