piled the dragon, tapping the water |
gently with his tail. Mary no longer |
felt any fear. She seated herself by |
the dragons side and glided swiftly |
down to the bottom of the spring. |
The trees were filed with the most
delicious fruit, and the loveliest flow
ers bordered the ieweled walk that
led to the palace.
These are all yours; enter. and be
our queen said the dragon softly, as
they reached the steps of this gor-
geous castle. Mary's heart beat fast.
she turned to thank him for his great
kindness. when, TO her establishment,
he had disappeared.
| One day wniie she was walking
through her palace she suddenly came
to mysterious door that she had
never noticed before Upon the knob
was written DO not enter" Mary
thinking a queen had a righi TO do
anything she wanted. opened the door
and walked in.
How disappointed she was to find
!only three fountains sending up their
Isilyery spray! She was very fond OF
looking at herself these days, so she
went UP to the first one and looked
| down. Here she found reflected not
Mary Of today. with her gorgeous
robes OF satin. but dear, faithful Mary,
the helpmate Of her poor grand
mother, dressed in a simple slip Of
jcalico. Disguised with the sight, she
turned quickly and went TO the other
fountain. Here her disgust turned to
horror, for although she saw grand
3piciure OF her magnificent dress, her
face reflected was that Of the most
,hideous woman in the world. She
rushed away as quickly as possible
land went to the third. Gazing down
into the clear water, Mary felt
shocked, as ii someone had awakened
her from a dreadful dream.
Before her burning eyes appeared
1.-THE little nut in the lonely forest. Her
poor grandmother was wandering all
iabout calling for her lost child. No
one to love her. no one to care for
. her,
Mary tore the jewels from her neck.
threw off her gorgeous robes, and fed
from the palace. As she reached the
garden gate the dragon suddenly ap
peared. why a. you leave all this
, wealth and return to poverty and
want?" asked the dragon. trying to
bar her way.
Z do not care for Your riches. Let
me go to my poor grandma at once!'
But wait" he said still standing ii
the gate. And with that he turned
three times. Instantly the dragon skin
fell from his body and handsome
, prince stood before her. Come" said
the prince, you are the maiden Of my
choice. I will go with you and to
gether we will care for your grand
mother in my castle, for / have been
seeking all my life for a girl who
thought more Of others than Of her
self"
