The Man Born to be King
The Man Born 1 to be King 2Ⅰ
There was 3 once a king who had 5 great power 6 and was very rich. One day a little old man came 7 to his court 8. This old man had clear 9 blue eyes. People said 10 that he had the power to read the lives of men in the stars.
The King said to him: "Tell me something about myself 11."The old man said: "When you die 12 no one from your own 13 family will be king after you. The man who will follow you is not yet 14 born."The King was not pleased 15 to hear this; he ordered 17 the old man to leave his court and not come back.
The King often thought 18 about what he had heard. After a time he married 19 a beautiful lady and forgot 20 the old man. Everyone was happy when the King married. They all hoped 23 that he would 24 have a son who would be a good king.
One day the King rode 25 into the forest 26 with some friends to shoot 27 animals. They saw 28 a fine large animal, and they all rode after it. The King had the best horse; so he rode faster than the others 29. He soon left the others behind him. When night came, the King found 30 himself 31 alone 32 in the forest. He had not shot 33 the animal. He did 34 not know where he was or how to find a way out of the forest. He said to himself, "I am quite lost. I do not know where to go. It is now quite dark 35. I must sleep here in the forest. Tomorrow, when the sun rises 36, I shall 37 find my way out of the for est."The King began to make a bed of grass and leaves 38. But before lying 39 down to sleep, he looked this way and that way. Then he saw a little light: it was the light of a lamp in a window. He mounted 40 his horse and rode to the light. When he came near he found that the light was in a poor man's hut 41. He shouted. A big man, in poor clothes, opened the door.
You cannot come in here," said the man. "My wife 42 is very ill. I fear 43 that she may die. Look, there is another hut. Go there to sleep. I will bring you something to eat and to drink."During 44 the night a loud cry awoke 45 the King. He went out of the hut and looked around, but could 46 see nothing. Then he went back and slept again. In his sleep he saw the old man with the clear blue eyes standing 47 in front of him.
The old man said to the King, "Remember the poor man's child. He will become king in your place."The King awoke when morning came. He went out to the poor man's hut. Inside 48 the hut he found the man weeping 50. He was looking at the dead 51 body of his wife who had died 52. At her side 49 there was a little child that had been born in the night. The child was alive 53. The King looked at the poor man and he looked at the little child.
While 54 the King was looking at this sad sight 55, he heard noises outside the hut. He heard-the voices 56 of his friends. He went outside. The men were very pleased to see that their king was safe. They came riding up to the door of the hut.
The King said to them, " This poor man has helped me, so we must help him. His wife has died. We must give him some gold and we must take the little child with us. Our ladies will take care 57 of the child. He shall live with us."Then the poor man knew that this was the King.
"O King," he said. "Do as 4 you wish. I myself cannot take care of my son, because his mother is dead."The King said to one of his servants 59 named William, "William, give the man this gold and bring the child with you."William gave 60 the man the gold pieces. Then he found a small box and put some dried grass in it. He put the child in the box and put some more dried grass over him; this was the only covering 61 which the child had.
The King mounted his horse. He said to William, "Ride near me and hear what I am going 62 to say.
As they were riding away from the hut, the King told William what he had seen 63 and heard in his sleep. He said, "The old man said that this child will be- come king after me. I do not want him to become king. I want you to throw the child in the river."William said, "If God 64 wishes the child to become king, he will be saved 65 even 66 if we try to kill 67 him.""Do not be foolish," said the King. "Throw the box upside 68 down into the river. Stay behind and do what I say."The King rode away, leaving William behind. William threw the box into the river. The King heard the box fall into the water. He looked behind. He saw the box on the top of the water. But it was not upside down. The child was crying. The water was carrying the box quickly away.
When the King reached 69 his home, a servant 58 met him with a happy face. He told the King what had happened while he was away in the forest. A child, a girl, had been born to the queen 70. The King was very glad. He gave the servant money and did not think about the poor man's child.
Fourteen years passed. One morning the King went alone into the forest to shoot animals. There he saw a man and a boy cutting wood. The boy was fair 71 and had blue eyes. The man was dark and had dark eyes.
"Who is that boy?" asked the King.
"O King, he is me son.""He is not like you at all," said the King. "Go and bring your wife here. I want to see whether 72 he is like her.""I will bring my wife, 0 King, if you wish. But he is not like her. We call him our son because he has always lived with us. But he is not really our son. We found him fourteen years ago. We saved his life 73. We do not know whether his father and mother are alive."The King looked carefully 74 at the young man. Fear filled 75 his heart 77. The man went away. When he came back his wife was with him. She was carrying a small box in her arms.
The man turned to his wife. "Speak, wife," he said, "and tell the King your story.""My story is quite short. One day, fourteen years ago, I was riding on my donkey 78 along 79 the bank of the river. I heard a cry. It was like the cry of a very young child. I looked down into the long grass growing by the bank. There, in the long grass, I saw a box. And in that box there was a little child crying. I got 21 off 80 my donkey, took 81 up the box and carried him home. We were very glad, because we had no children. We gave him the name of Robert. This is the box in which I found him. We love him and he loves us."When the King saw the box, he knew that he had seen it before. It was the box which William had thrown into the river. And he also knew that the boy was the child whom 82 he had tried to kill.
The King gave the man and his wife some money. Then he rode away with fear in his heart. When he reached home, he called for William, who was still one of his servants. He talked quietly 84 to William for a long time. He sent William with a letter to the poor man. William mounted his horse and rode into the forest.
In the forest William found a boy who was trying to catch fish in the river. The boy looked up when he heard William coming. William said to himself, "I am sure this is the boy who is born to be king." Then to the boy he said, "Where is the man whom the King met yesterday?""He is my father. Follow me, and I will lead 85 you to him."When they came to the house, Robert called his father. His father looked at William and knew by his fine clothes that he had come from the King.
"Read this letter," said William. "It is from the King.""I cannot read, but Robert can," answered the man.
Robert read the letter. The letter ordered Robert to come to the King. The King wished to take care of him and send him to a good school.
"We must do as the King orders 86," said the man sadly 87. "But Robert is happy enough here.""I am very happy here," said Robert. "No one ever 22 had such 88 a kind father and mother. I do not want to go."William said, "You must come. Here you have the life of a poor man. Do you not want to become learned 89 and a great man? Come with me."The poor man said, "Yes, you must go with him. But I know that you will always remember us. Perhaps 90 you will come and visit us sometimes.""Yes," said his wife; 'try to visit us when you can." She threw her arms around him and kissed 91 him.
" You must come now," said William. He led 76 Robert to his horse, mounted it and told Robert to get up on the horse behind him. Then they rode away.
Robert was very sad to leave the kind people who had been like a father and mother to him all his life. For a time he felt very unhappy 92. But he was young, the sun was warm, and the birds were singing in the trees. He soon began to feel happy again.
After a time, William said to him, "Get off the horse. It is too tired to carry both of us."So Robert got off the horse and walked beside it. They went through the forest for a long time, and Robert became 93 very tired. He wanted to rest.
William stopped the horse and got off. They both sat 94 down under a tree. After a time Robert lay 95 down and fell 96 asleep 97. Then William took a large stone and hit him with it on the head. Then he heard a noise: some travellers 98 were coming. Filled with fear, he stood 99 up, jumped on the horse, and rode away, thinking 100 that he had killed 101 Robert.
When he reached the King, he said, "The boy is dead. He will never become king."ⅡSix years passed. The King hoped that a son would be born to the Queen. But no more children were born. His daughter grew into a beautiful young woman. She was as kind as she was beautiful, and all the people loved her.
When the Princess 103 was eighteen years old, her mother, the Queen, died. The King and his daughter were very sad at this. The Princess was so sad that she became ill.
Her father said to her, "Dora, my daughter, you seem 104 to be ill. I am going to send you to 'The House of the Rose 105' in the country, where the good air and the quiet life will make you better."The King said, " Stay in ' The House of the Rose' until 106 I come. Perhaps I shall bring a prince 102 for you to marry 107."Princess Dora went away to 'The House of the Rose' in the country with her servant Mary. She was happy to go, but she did not want to marry a man whom she had never seen. But she knew that she must do as her father wished. She hoped that her father would bring someone 108 who would be young, kind, and good-looking 109. The king travelled 110 to another country to look for someone to marry his daughter. The ruler of that country had a fine army 111. One of the officers 112 of that army was a fine-looking young man with fair hair and blue eyes. When the King saw him, he thought that he knew him.
"Who are you, and where do you come from?" he asked the young man. "I think that I know your face.".My name is Robert," said the young man. "And that is all I know about myself. Six years ago I was brought 113 to this country. Some travellers brought me. They had found me in a forest, nearly 114 dead. Someone had tried to kill me. He had hurt my head very badly 115. That is why I do not remember anything about myself. I only know my name."The King was then sure that the young man was the boy whom he had ordered William to kill. He asked the ruler of the country for the young man. When he went away to his own country he took Robert with him.
One day the King sent for Robert.
"Go to 'The House of the Rose'," he said, "and take this letter. Give it to the Captain 116 of my soldiers 118 who are there. Be careful! Give it only to the Captain. Then do what he tells you to do."Robert mounted his horse and rode through the fields 119 to 'The House of the Rose'. There was a big garden in front of the house. By the door of the gar- den 120 a soldier 117 was standing.
When he saw Robert he said, "Who are you and what do you want?""I have a letter from the King," said Robert. "I must give it to the Captain.""The Captain is eating now, and you must wait," said the soldier. " But you look tired. Leave your horse here. You may go into the garden and sit down. I will call you when the Captain comes."Robert went into the garden. It was a quiet, beautiful place, full of flowers and fine trees. There were some red fishes swimming in some water. Robert looked at them for a time. Then, feeling 121 tired, he sat down under a tree. He closed 122 his eyes and fell asleep.
A short time later 123, Princess Dora and Mary came into the garden. They walked on the soft, green grass for a time. Then the Princess sat down to rest while Mary walked about by herself 124 She came near to the place where Robert was sleeping. When she saw him, she stopped and looked at him carefully. She had never seen such a fine-looking young man.
"This is the man whom the Princess should marry," she said. She then went quickly back to where the Princess was standing.
"I think that your Prince has come," she said.
"What do you mean?" said Princess Dora.
"Come and see for yourself 125," said Mary. "A Fine young man, asleep. If he is not a prince, he looks as fine as any prince in the world."Mary then led the Princess to where Robert lay sleeping. When Dora saw him, love came to her heart. The Princess thought, " I shall never love any other man." She stood looking at him for some time, and then she turned her eyes to Mary. She saw that Mary was reading 126 a letter. It was a letter that had fallen from the young man's hand. As she was reading the letter, Mary's face became white with fear.
"What is that letter you are reading?" asked the Princess.
" Take it and read it for yourself. It is sad for such a thing to happen to so fine a young man."The Princess took the letter and read it. This is what she read: "To my Captain, at 'The House of the Rose'. 1, the King, order 16 you to put to death 127 the one who carries this letter. All such bad men should die."Princess Dora was very afraid. She looked at Mary for a time. Then she said, "Wait near him till 83 I come back. If he wakes 128 up, hide 129 him. Do not let anyone 130 see him."Then she ran 131 quickly to her room and took a pen and a clean piece of paper. She sat down and began to write.
This is what Princess Dora wrote 132 on the paper: "To my Captain at 'The House of the Rose'. I send you my best wishes. I want my daughter to marry the man who carries this letter. Do not wait. Let her marry. him quickly. When I come I want to find them married. These are the orders of your King."She went back to the garden and showed the letter to Mary. Then they put the letter near the hand of the young man and went away.
They sat waiting in another part 133 of the garden. Both were very afraid.
Mary said, "Let us not be afraid. We must finish what we have begun. I feel in my heart that you will be very happy."After a time they heard the sound of voices. The Captain and the young man were coming.
" Princess," said the Captain, " this is a letter from your father the King. Please read it for yourself."When Robert looked at the Princess, his heart was filled with love. He had never seen such a beautiful young woman. She read the letter and then looked at him. .
" I shall be pleased to do as my father orders. Something tells me that we shall find happiness 134 together. Let us be married tomorrow."Robert was very surprised 135 when he heard what was in the letter. He said, "I am ready to give my life for the King and to serve 136 him till I die. The King wishes us to be married; I know that I shall always love you, so…"The Princess took his hand. "Tomorrow," she said.
The King waited for one day after Robert had gone, and then mounted his horse and set 137 out for 'The House of the Rose'.
When he came near he heard bells ringing and saw many people dancing in the garden. He was very surprised, and did not know what to think. He rode into the garden and saw his daughter walking hand in hand with Robert. Behind them was the Captain of the soldiers. Seeing the King, Dora and Robert stopped. The Captain came forward 138 to help the King get off his horse.
" 0 King," he said, " I have done as you ordered. Your daughter the Princess and Prince Robert are married."All the people shouted with happiness and threw their hats into the air. The King stood still looking at his daughter and Robert. Then a look of happiness came to his face.
"It is the wish of God," he said. "This man was born to be king."Then the King took his daughter's hand and kissed her. He also took the hand of Robert. Then he turned to the people. "This is your new Prince," he said. " I know that it is the wish of God that he should become your King. This is the happiest day of my life. Sing, dance, and be happy."The people shouted loudly and began to dance again. The King took the hand of his daughter and Robert and passed through the happy people into 'The House of the Rose'.
