Once upon a time there was a Prince who,
through no fault of his own, was cast under a spell by an evil witch. The
curse was that the Prince could speak only one word each year. However,
he could save up the words so that if he did not speak for a whole year,
then the following year he was allowed to speak two words. (This was before
the time of letter writing or sign language)
One day he met a beautiful princess (ruby
lips, golden hair, sapphire eyes,) and fell madly in love. With the greatest
difficulty he decided to refrain from speaking for two whole years so that
he could look at her and say, "My darling".
But at the end of the two years he wished
to tell her that he loved her. Because of this he waited three more years
without speaking (bringing the total number of silent years to 5).
But at the end of these five years he realized
that he had to ask her to marry him. So he waited ANOTHER four years without
speaking.
Finally, as the ninth year of silence ended,
his joy knew no bounds. Leading the lovely princess to the most secluded
and romantic place in that beautiful royal garden the prince heaped a hundred
red roses on her lap, knelt before her, and taking her hand in his, said
huskily, "My darling, I love you. Will you marry me?"
And the princess tucked a strand of golden
hair behind a dainty ear, opened her sapphire eyes wide in wonder, and
parting her ruby lips, said, "Pardon?"
