Long, long ago, in the days whem magic was still in some use, an old Wicked Witch put a King's son under a spell. She shut him in a great iron Chest. Then, with the help of her magic she hid the Prince, Chest, and all, in the middle of a lonely forest. No one knew what had become of the Prince. The Prince's father sent men far and wide but they could not find him. Year after year the Chest was standing there in great wild forest. It so happened that a King's daughter had lost her way in that forest. She had been walking for nine days and suddenly she saw some strange Chest standing in front of her. She also heard the Chest speak. The Chest wanted to know where the girl had come from and where she was going. She answered that she had lost her way. The voice from the Chest said it would help her if she promised to come back and marry him. She agreed.
