<< Mistaken envy >>
Are you satisfied with what you have, or do you want what your brothers and neighbors have?
Three sisters were so poor that hunger set off their imaginations in such a way that... the oldest one saw herself married to the royal chef, the middle one to the king's treasurer, and the youngest one to the prince. And without knowing how, it turned out that their dreams came true and they went to live in the palace.
But a war broke out and the prince set off to defend his kingdom. Within a few months his wife had twins. But her envious sisters put the babies in a basket and threw it into the river, running downstream. They told the poor princess that her children had been born dead and shut her up in a tower.
The little ones were recued by some farmers, but since they were very old they soon died and the children were alone until they found a fairy. The fairy told them that they had to find the golden bird, but before that they had to spend a night holding on to the leaf of a cypress tree.
The little ones were so afraid that they were on the point of giving up but... at dawn, the golden bird appeared and led them to the palace. There the prince told them the truth and they freed the princess. But they weren't happy until the envious sisters disappeared from their life and wandered forever without finding true love.
Although we may not have everything we want, we have to be content with our lot in life. Live happily, be happy!
