The newly-crowned prince of the magic kingdom sat on a green moss for he was lost in a great Jade Forest.
The young prince needed immediate help for he was hurt. A snow-white dove hovered over the sad-looking
prince. The sad prince asked the dove to take a blood stained handkerchief to his kindhearted father, the
powerful king. But the half-surprised dove said, “And ruin my snow-white feathers on such a long journey?
You must be joking!” Two black birds next stopped near the handsome prince. But these black birds left in a
hurry. Then a bird with very colorful feathers came, but it flew off, too.
Just as the crown prince was losing all hope, a tiny, plain brown bird alighted on his hand. It seemed to
know how unhappy and ill the prince was. The bird took the blood-stained handkerchief and flew away. The
bird dropped the prince’s handkerchief on the stone castle.
Not long after, the prince of magical kingdom was rescued. The magical kingdom was so happy to see
the prince again. The good king rewarded and decorated the kind bird with a scarlet rose on its brown breast.
