04. Childhood

One princess was stolen from her parents at the age of 6 by order of the prince, who married her. When they had their first two children, a boy, and a girl, the prince took a second wife without the consent of the first. Then the first was offended and stopped taking the prince at night. One day the girl went to get bread and talked a little with the baker, who told the prince that his first wife was his mistress and pestered him every time she came for bread. The prince ordered the first wife to be stoned.

The princess in the pit pretended to be dead and went into the desert at night. The princess walked through the desert at night, and during the day she slept in the shade of the dunes.

After several weeks, a falcon flew to her, looking for food - the princess already looked more like a corpse than a living one. After a while, a man on a white horse galloped to his falcon and was simply amazed at such a find.

The man was a prince of a neighboring country and took the girl to his palace, where she began to eat and sleep. One night, the prince came to her and began to visit her often. After a while, the girl began to expect a child, and the prince married her. She gave birth to a boy for him, and a year later - another boy.

Two years later, a merchant from the country recognized the princess at the market and told the prince the whole story made up. The princess had to flee again and leave the children behind. The prince began looking for her but to no avail.

The princess left for America and tried to change her appearance beyond recognition.
