The ship had drowned in the water, King Auster had lost his way on an island. But soon the soldiers found their king after a month. 


The king was pleased by the beautiful atmosphere of the island.


The king declared,’’ from Now, this island will be a part of our kingdom.


 I declare that no one would stay here and we will make this place as the most beautiful.’’ The people of their kingdom were very fascinated by the king's decision. The king wanted something unique. 


He finally decided to make a MIRROR ISLAND. He traded different types of mirrors and made a giant palace named-REFLECTION.


 The island was full of mirrors, and it was made by different types of mirror makers, but just the most giant mirror which was in the palace was made by Auster's Special mirror maker. Gopal was a wise and experienced mirror maker.


Tourists kept visiting the majestic island many a-times. People used to visit the island every month. Few kingdoms were jealous of Auster, But there was something weird, people used to have eye pain when they used to see the palace mirror. What was the matter? The king went on an investigation he looked himself in the mirror, she saw his-Hands, mouth, nose, legs but nothing happened. That was weird. 

The king thought of himself as a special one.

IS THE KING REALLY SPECIAL?


The scholars examined the grand mirror and looked at themselves in it, soon its secret was found out whoever looked eye to eye in the mirror can only be infected. The king wasn’t special as he didn’t look at his eyes in the mirror! The courtiers thought it was magic! Many months passed away, but then they called out Gopal, the person who made the mirror. 

Do you think Gopal is a bad person? Why & how did he make this mirror?!


Gopal was called out in the courtroom, He begin,’’ Your Majesty I didn’t do anything. Forgive me. But there is just one mistake I still remember.’’ ‘’What?’’ ‘’I………… I have a curse given by a sage, let me tell you in detail.

 I was making a beautiful mirror in my shop but then I saw a sage who had visited my shop for the first time. He looked in one of my mirrors rubbing his left eye, he told me that something went in his eye. But I got angry and said him to go away, So… that’s the reason he gave me the curse-Whoever will look in any of your made mirrors ( Eye to eye) He/she will have eye pain just like me!!’’ Gopal decided to visit the sage again, ‘’oh Great sage. Please answer my prayers, can you tell me the cure of this curse.’’ Gopal bowed. 

‘‘Okay, as you are requesting that is why. There is only 1 cure, answer my riddle- I am a cup of milk, covered with skin and with a little ball inside which is in different colours, it's related to see, guess what the answer could be?’’ Gopal was very wise and witty, he answered the question in a shot, it was an Eye!!
