Stupid King

Long ago, there lived a dandy king and

really liked wearing new robe. He spent a lot of time

only to stare at himself in front of the mirror, and

always wanted to wear new robe in the morning, noon

and night!

One day, there came two swindles acting

as great designers. They confessed that they were very

expert in weaving making good quality robe, till, the

cloth worm by them to make a robe would disappear,

except by smart people.

When the king heard about that, he was

very interested. “That‟s great, I can know anyone

stupid and anyone clever in this kingdom. “He

thought. The king immediately ordered both of the

men to make new robe for himself, using that special

cloth.

They were given a special chamber in the

castle, as well as the gold strings they asked. Both of

the swindles hide the gold strings that they asked,

and then pretending as they were working hard to

make a robe.

A few days later, the king wasn‟t patient

ordering his minister to see the special robe which was

in progress. When the minister visited the swindles

who acted , he was confused. “I can‟t see anything here”

he thought.

But the ministers did not want to confess

it because he didn‟t want anyone considered him as a

stupid person. So he praised the swindles and told

them that the robe which they were making was very

beautiful. After the minister go out of the chamber, the

two swindles were laughing.

It didn‟t take long time, the king came to

see it himself. He tried to see the whole of chamber, but


5

he saw nothing. But, because he didn‟t want to be

considered as a dumb, the king was pretending able to

see the special robe and said, “A very beautiful robe, I

am impatient to wear it”

The next day was a day when the king

would wear his new robe in the cortege around the city.

The two swindles who acted have permitted and gone

with an excuse that they would make robe for the king

from other kingdoms. Of course, they didn‟t forget to

bring the gold strings they have hide, and also gold

money fees of making the robe.

When the king wearing his new robe, he

still couldn‟t see the robe, and he felt very cold. But

because they didn‟t want to called as dummy, the

king was moving around in front of the mirror and

admiring his new robe, though he saw nothing. All of

the royal‟s employee also said that the new robe was

very beautiful, because they didn‟t want to called as

dummy.

All the citizens have heard that the king

would wear a special robe on the day. When the king

appeared, they all were surprised. But they have heard a

news that a new special robe could only be seen by

smart people, and because they didn‟t want to called as

dummies, they yelled admiring the king.

Suddenly, there was a sound of little boy

yelling, “but, he is not wearing robe, the king is

naked! “All were silent. The king a warred that the

little boy was saying truth, and at a double, he walked

back to the palace.

A Faithful Lovers

The following story will be special for each

of you who want to know the real meaning of love.

Hmm, thete once lived a chief‟s daugther

who hag many admires. All the young men in the

village wanted to have her for a wife and were all eager

to fill her skin bucket when she went to the brook for

water.

There was a young man in the village. He

was a good hunter but he was poor and had a mean

family. He loved the maiden and wished he could

marry her. So, one day when she went for water, he

threw his robe over her head while he whispered in her

ear: “Will you marry me?”

For a long time the maiden acred as if she

hadn‟t heard anything, but one day she whispered


19

back telling that she would be willing to marry him if

he took a scalp.

So he made a war party of seven, himself

and six other young men. Before they started, they sat

down to smoke and rest beside a beatiful lake at the

foot of a green knoll that rose from its shore. The knoll

was covered with green grass and somehow as they

looked at it they had feeling that there was something

about it that was mysterious and uncanny.

One ot the lover‟s friends was so curious

about it that he ventured into the knoll. Four of the

young men follwed. Having reached to the top of the

knoll, all five began to jump and stamp about in sport.

But, suddenly they stopped. The knoll had

begun to move toward the water. It was gigantic turtle!

The five men cried out in alarm and tried to run, but it

was too late! They cried; but the others could do


20

nothing. In just a few moments, the waves had closed

over them.

The other two men: the lover and his friend,

went on, but with heavy hearts. After some days, they

came to a river. Worn out with fatigue, the lover threw

himself down on the bank. Fortunately, the lover‟s

friend came to help him.

The following day, his friend told him that

he found a fish which he had cleaned and asked him to

eat the fish together. The lover said that if he ate the

fish, his friend had to promise to fetch him all the

water that he could drink. When they had eaten, the

kettle was rinsed out and lover‟s friend brought it back

with full of water. The lover drank the water at a

draught. Again his friend filled the kettle at the river

and again the lover drank it dry but still asked for

more water. The lover‟s friend then took the lover to the

river. When the lover saw the river, he walked to the


21

river, sprang in, and lying down in the water with his

head toward land, drank greedily.

Then, he called out his friend. The friend

came and was amazed to see that the lover was now a

fish from his feet to his middle. Sick at heart he ran

off a little away and threw himself upon the ground in

grief. After awhile, he returned to find that the lover

was now a fish up to his neck.

The friend went home and told his story.

There was great mourning over the death of the five

young men and for the lost lover. In the river, the lover

had become a great fish and its fin was just above the

surface. Canoes had to be portaged at great labor

around the obstruction.

Meanwhile, the chief‟s daugther mourned

for her lover as for a husband and nobody could

comfort her. Day by day, she sat inside her mother‟s

tepee with her head covered with her robe, silent,


22

working, and working. Whenever her mother asked,

the maiden did not reply.

The days lengthened into moons until a

year had passed. And the maiden arose. She left her

mother‟s tepee with holding lots of things in her hand.

There where three pairs of moccasins, three pairs of

lenggings, three belts, three shirts, three head dresses

with beautiful feathers, and sweet smelling tobacco.

One day she had a new canoe made. Then,

the next morning she stepped into the canoe and

floated slowly down thhe river toward the great fish.

Her canoe came and stopped to the place where the great

fin arose. One by one she laid her presents on the fish‟s

back, scattering the feathers and tobacco over his broad

spince.

“Oh, fish,” she cried, “oh,fish, you who were

my lover, I shall not forget you. Because you were lost

for love of me, I shall never marry. All my life I shall


23

remain a window. Take these present. And now leave

the river, and let the waters run free, so my people may

once more descend in their canoes. “Slowly the great

fish sank, his broad fin disappeared and the waters of

the St. Croix (Stillwater) were free.
