Summary
Behind the mountains, across the seas, in a distant wonderland, near the cradle of the little princess, the good fairies gathered with their queen. And as they surrounded the princess and looked at the sleeping face of the child, their queen said: - Let each of you give her a precious gift, according to your ability and desire! To this, the first fairy, leaning over the sleeping woman, said the following words: - I give you the charm of beauty and with my power I will make anyone who sees your face think that they have seen a wonderful spring flower. "I," said the second one, "will give you eyes as clear and deep as water." “I will give you the flowing and slender figure of a young palm tree,” said the third one. - And I - said the fourth - will give you a great golden treasure, hitherto hidden in the ground. The Queen thought for a moment, and then, turning to the fairies, she began to say: The human condition—The beauty of people and flowers fades. Charming eyes fade with youth, and even in youth they are often darkened by tears. The wind breaks palm trees and the wind bends slender figures. Whoever does not distribute gold among people arouses their hatred, and whoever distributes it, the chest remains empty. Therefore your gifts are perishable. - What is permanent in man and what will you give her, our queen? - asked the fairies. And the queen replied: - I will give her kindness.
