“Line up, little pearls”

Born to a king, golden twins are separated by an unexpected plot. Yet, beneath the moonlight, they take on many forms—a fir tree, a flame, and a sheep with golden fleece—gradually drawing closer to the truth with each transformation. A fantastical folktale passed down through generations in Romania.

Line up, little pearls Petre Ispirescu

Once upon a time, there was a young king.

One day, as the king was riding his horse past the castle of another king, he happened to see the three daughters of that king standing by a window.

Then he heard one of the daughters say, “I would like to marry that young man on horseback. If he would take me as his wife, I would make his castle shine like gold.”

Hearing these words, the king stopped his horse.

He then slowly rode back and forth, trying to listen more closely to what the daughters were saying.

Then another daughter said,
“If it were me, I would turn the castle into two golden apples.”

And the third daughter said,
“If it were me, I would give birth to golden twins made of pure gold.”

The king loved children more than anything in the world.
So, when he heard the third daughter’s words, he made up his mind at once.

The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, the king dressed himself in his finest royal robes and set off eagerly to visit the king whose daughters he had seen.

There, he asked to marry the third daughter, the one who had promised to give birth to golden twins.

When the father learned that the young man seeking his daughter’s hand was a fine king, he was overjoyed and gladly agreed to the marriage.

And so, the royal wedding celebrations began.

The festivities lasted seven days and seven nights.

When they finally came to an end, the groom, the king, took his bride and returned to his own kingdom.
Everything seemed destined to go well.

But then…
