The Prince and the Rabbit
Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, lived a king who did not have any children. After consulting many different doctors, his queen gave birth to a son who was named Eric.
Prince Eric was the pride of his parents and his kingdom. He received education from the best tutors in the kingdom and grew up to be a thoughtful young man. One day, as the prince went hunting, he came upon a blue rabbit whose fur shone like water. Eric was startled. He didn’t want to kill the rabbit, but he didn’t want to let it go either.
Before he could grab the rabbit, it transformed into a fairy. “Long live the new king”, the fairy said, fixing her gaze on Eric. Eric’s blood ran cold. The king was away fighting a battle with the neighboring kingdom. Could something have happened to him?
Eric raced back to the palace. The entire palace was quiet. As Eric climbed up to the royal chambers, he met his mother who had tears in her eyes. “He will not live long”, she said.
Eric went back to the forest, but he didn’t see the blue rabbit or the fairy anywhere. It wasn’t long before the fairy’s words came true as then, the king died and Eric became the king.
