Once upon a time, a king and a queen had a child whom they loved dearly. One morning, the little prince saw the sun shining brightly in the sky. “I want the sun for my crown,” he demanded. The king asked the court magician to get the sun for the prince. The magician lit a candle, put it on the window-sill of the prince’s room and called out, “If the sun wishes to stay on the little prince’s crown, you are welcome.” The curious sun heard the magician. He came swooping down at night and saw the crown on the bedside table. The sun placed itself on the crown. The next morning, the prince was happy to see the sun on his crown. As he picked it up, he burnt his hands! “My hands hurt! Take the sun away,” he cried. The sun rose up in the sky with a smile. The little prince learnt his lesson and lived happily ever after.
