Once, a king had four wives. But he loved his youngest wife the most. All the other queens were jealous of the youngest queen. They conspired against the youngest queen and had her banished from the kingdom. But the king was heartbroken. One day, he dreamt of a golden tree which said to him, “Come to me. I will guide you to your wife.” The king woke up and decided to find the tree. After travelling for many days, he found the golden tree. It was in the middle of a lake. The king went to the tree and asked it where his wife was. The tree replied, “She is in the neighbouring forest.” Then the tree told him how the queens had conspired against the youngest queen. The king was very sad. He went to the neighbouring forest and brought back his queen. He also punished the other queens.
