The Cursed Princess

Once upon a time, there was a boy called Tookus. He lived with his father. But, his father was very ill. One day, his father realized that he had very little time left. So, he called Tookius and told him, “My dear son, I am growing weaker day by day. I don’t have much time left. So, it’s time that I give you this.” Saying this, he took out a horn and gave it to Tookius. 


Seeing that, Tookius asked his father, “Father, this is a simple horn. What will I do with this?” His father said, “My dear son, this is not a simple horn. It has magical powers. If you put this horn in your ear, you will be able to listen to what other people are thinking. This horn will surely help you sometime.”

After a few days, his father died. After his father’s death, Tookius felt that there was nothing left for him there. So, he decided to travel. He said to himself, “I will travel for a while and find a job for myself.” So, the next morning he set out with the horn that his father gave him. After traveling for a few days, he finally arrived at a castle. He went inside and met the owner of the castle - a giant with very long hair.

He pleaded with the giant to give him some work. The giant said, “If you can cook good food, I’ll appoint you as my cook.” Tookius then cooked a delicious dinner for the giant and got hired as a cook there. A few days later, when he was walking around the castle, he found a cellar and went inside. 


Inside the cellar, he heard the sound of the crying of a girl. He searched everywhere and found that a beautiful girl was tied to a pillar. He asked the girl, “Who are you? Why are you tied like this?” 


The girl replied, “I am Chakkali, the princess of this beautiful kingdom. The giant is very bad. He killed my father, the King, and captivated me. Please help me get out of here.” Tookius felt very bad for the girl but he said, “I am very sorry princess. I am just an ordinary guy and he is a giant. How can I fight with him?” But, he felt very sorry that he couldn’t do anything to save the princess.


One day, he told himself, “I have nothing to lose. I can use my father’s horn and check what the giant is thinking.” He took out the horn and put it on his ear to listen to the giant’s thoughts. He heard, “I think my cook has found out about the princess. I will eat him tomorrow for my breakfast. But, till then I have to keep it a secret that my strength lies in my hair.” 


Tookius was frightened at first after knowing that the giant will eat him but was very delighted later when he knew that all the power of the giant lies in his long hair. He decided to take away the power of the giant. In the night, before the giant came to his bedroom, Tookius hid under his bed. When the giant fell asleep, he gently cut the giant’s hair and came out. 


The next morning, the giant woke up and found that all his powers were gone and he had become too weak. He soon realized what had happened and decided to fly away from the castle as he knew that Took Us would come anytime and kill him. As soon as Tookius realized that the giant had fled, he ran to the cellar and freed the princess. 


As soon as the princess was freed, the castle was also freed from the curse and turned into a magnificent palace. 

A few days later, Tookius married the princess and became the king, and they lived happily ever after.
