"3 Snake Leaves"

Once upon a time there was a poor man who was so poor that he couldn't even support his own son. The son said to him, "Good father, we are having a terrible time, and I am a burden to you. I want to leave the house now, and see if I can earn a living."

His father blessed him and sent him out of the house in grief. At this time, the king of a powerful empire was at war, so he joined the king's army and went to the front to fight. He arrived at the front line just in time for fierce fighting, and the situation was so critical that his comrades fell under the enemy's bullets. When the commander also died, the rest tried to flee, but the young man stood up and boldly shouted to them, "We must not let our country perish!" led to defeat the enemy. When the king learned that this victory was all due to him alone, he raised him to the highest position, gave him many riches, and made him at once the most eminent man in the land.

The king had a daughter who was very beautiful but very queer, and she only promised to marry a man who promised to be buried alive beside her when she died. "If the man loves me with all his heart," she said, "what good is he alive when I'm dead?" And she did the same in turn. If her husband dies first, she is willing to be buried with him in the grave.

Her strange oaths were so frightening that no one ever proposed to her, but the young man was charmed by the princess's beauty, and desperately begged the King to give him his daughter in marriage.

"Do you know what kind of promise you are about to make?" asked the king.

"If I outlive her, I shall be buried with her," he answered, "but I love her so much that I don't mind the danger." So the king agreed, and they had a great wedding.

The young couple lived happily for a while, when his wife suddenly became seriously ill, and none of the doctors could cure her. When she died, the young husband remembered his promise, and was terrified when he knew that he would be kept alive in the grave, but there was nothing else he could do. The king had sentries at all the gates of the palace, so it was impossible for him to escape this fate. On the day of the burial, he was also taken into the royal tomb, and the door was closed and bolted.

Beside the coffin was a table with four candles, four loaves of bread, and four bottles of wine. When these things are consumed, he will starve to death. He sat there in great pain and sorrow, eating only a little bit of bread and drinking a sip of wine every day, but the god of death was still approaching him day by day.

As he sat there in ecstasy, he saw a snake emerge from the corner of the tomb, and crawl towards the dead body. He thought the snake was going to bite her, so he drew out his sword and said, "As long as I live, you will never touch her." Then he cut the snake into three pieces.

After a while, another snake crawled out of the hole. When he saw that the first snake had been cut in three and was dead, he crawled back. But after a while it crawled out again with three green leaves in its mouth. It then puts together the three sections of the dead snake and covers each wound with a leaf. In an instant, several parts of the severed snake grew together again. The snake came alive after a few movements, and escaped with the second snake, leaving the three leaves on the ground.

The unfortunate young man who had witnessed all this suddenly had an idea whether the magic power of the leaves that revived the dead snake could revive people as well.

So he picked up the leaves, put one on his dead wife's mouth, and put the other two on her eyes. No sooner had he put the leaves in place than the blood began to flow through her veins, slowly rushing up her pale cheeks, making them crimson again. Then she took a breath, opened her eyes, and said, "Oh, God, where am I?"

"You are with me, dear wife," he answered, and told her all that had happened, and how he had brought her back to life. He gave her some wine and some bread. After she regained her energy, he helped her stand up and walked to the door of the tomb, knocking on the door and shouting.

When the guards heard this, they went to report to the king. The king himself came and opened the door, and found them both healthy and vigorous, and was overjoyed that the sorrow was at last at an end. The young man brought out the three snake leaves, handed them to one of the attendants, and said, "Keep it safe with me, and keep it with you at all times. God knows what trouble we'll get into? Maybe we'll need it." Where are they!"

But his wife has changed, and she seems to have completely lost her love for her husband after she came back from the dead. After a while, the young man wanted to go across the sea to see his old father. Once they were on board, she forgot the depth of love and devotion her husband had shown her, and the kindness he had shown her in saving her life, and became odiously infatuated with the captain.

One day, when the young man was asleep, she called the captain, and she took her husband's head in her arms, and the captain took him by the feet, and together they threw him into the sea. When this disgraceful deed was done, she said, "We will go back now and say he died on the road. I will praise you so much in my father's presence, and praise you, that he will agree to marry me to you, and let you Heir to the throne."

But the loyal servant witnessed everything in secret. He untied a skiff from the ship, and set out to find his master, not caring where the two wretches sailed. He picked up the young man's body from the water, put the three snake leaves on his eyes and mouth respectively, and luckily saved him.

They rowed hard day and night, and the boat sailed like flying, and they got back to the old king's palace before the others. The old king was naturally surprised to see them both coming back alone, and asked what had happened. When he heard of his daughter's hideous deeds, he said, "I do not believe that she has done such a despicable thing, but the truth will soon be revealed." He ordered them to hide in a secret room where no one could see.

Soon, the big ship sailed back, and the shameless woman came to see her father with a sad face. The old king asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where is your husband?"

"Alas, dear father," she answered, "my heart is breaking. My husband fell ill and died on the way, and I would have been miserable if the good captain had not helped me! When my husband died he He's there too, and he can tell you everything."

The king said, "I will raise the dead!" Then he opened the secret chamber and called the master and servant out.

When the woman saw her husband, she knelt down as if struck by thunder, and begged for forgiveness. The king said, "Never forgive! He was willing to die with you and bring you back to life, but you killed him while he was asleep. You deserve what you deserve."

She and her accomplices were then placed on a boat with a hole in it. The boat was pushed out to sea and soon sank in the rough seas.
