Three Mysterious Citrons
A king
lived with his beautiful daughter, but the princess caught a strange illness
and nobody could cure her. An old doctor said three magic golden citrons
brought by a virtuous man would cure the princess. The king proclaimed
he would marry his daughter to the man who brought the citrons. Bahman,
a poor youth, went to search for the citrons along with many others. He
reached the distant orchard, picked up the citrons and treated an old
woman with respect and received good directions. The princess ate the
citrons and recovered her health and beauty, but the king was reluctant
marry her to a poor peasant. Bahman performed several miracles and married
the princess.
