The Empty Boat

A small boat was tied to the jetty on the lake. No one had seen any boatman, but every night the boat would be rowed to an island in the lake. There would be a glow on the island and then the boat would return before dawn. One day, Prince Conrad waited among the bushes near the bank and followed the boat at a distance to the island. He saw fairies gathered on the island around a beautiful princess. They played the harp, sang and danced. Then the princess seemed to fall asleep; the fairies vanished and the empty boat returned. ‘I’m sure there’s a sorcerer on this boat,’ thought Prince Conrad, ‘I must destroy him and save the princess!’ That night when he reached the island and the dancing began, he broke up the boat! The princess was saved and Prince Conrad brought her back and married her!
