Cerita Dongeng Bahasa Inggris Singkat untuk Anak Sebelum Tidur: Little Marriane and the Princes

He taught the boys everything about plants, flowers, and gardening. They also learned to dance and make music.

On one day, the young princes began to yearn for more freedom. They begged the queen to let them speak to their father.

The queen was shocked when she saw the boys. They were handsome and smart! That evening, she had the boys captured by soldiers.

They were locked up in a tall tower where they received only a piece of bread with water daily.

 To explain their absence, she told the king that the boys had run away and that she had sent people to search for them.

 That was of course not true, but the king seemed not to care.

The boys stayed in the tower for a year. They were visited daily by birds that sang beautiful songs for them.

That made their stay a lot more pleasant. But when the boys didn’t receive any bread or water for a few days, they understood that it was intended for them to die of hunger.

“Now it’s time to escape,” said Prince Purple. “If no one comes to save us, then we have to do it ourselves.”

They came up with a plan. With everything suitable in the tower, they made a long rope. With it, they climbed out of the tower.

Then they visited Adam who was very happy to see them. He advised the young princes to leave the country and return when they reached adulthood to reclaim the throne.

“But where should we live?” asked the princes. “We have nothing at all!”

Adam gave them clothes. “I also have some musical instruments here. You can make music and dance and earn money with it. I also give you some magic seeds.

They will bring you luck. Plant the seeds when you are far enough away and have found a house. They are magic seeds.

They will only sprout if they are planted by princely hands.”
