The wonderful Sheep (1)

The wonderful Sheep (1)

Once upon a time ー in the day when the fairies lived ー there was a king who had three daughters, who were all young, and clever, and beautiful ; but the youngest of the three, who was called Miranda, was the prettiest and the most beloved.

The King, her father, gave her more dresses and jewels in a month than he gave the others in a year ; but she was so generous that she shared everything with her sisters, and they were all as happy and as fond of one another as they could be.

Now, the King had some quarrelsome neighbours, who, tired of leaving him in peace, began to make war upon him so fiercely that he feared he would be altogether beaten if he did not make an effort to defend him.

So he collected a great army and set off to fight them, leaving the Princesses with their governess in a castle where news of the war was brought every day.
