Banqiao straw mat composition

Once upon a time, the king of Persia had a son who fell in love with a shepherdess. He said to his father, "Father, I am in love with a shepherd's daughter and I want to marry her." The king said, "I am the king and you are my son. After I die, you will be the king of this country. How can you marry a shepherdess? " The prince replied, "father, I don't know if I can." I only know that I love this woman and I want her to be my queen. "

The king thought that his son's love was arranged by God, so he said, I will send her a message. He called the messenger and told him, "Go and tell the shepherdess that my son is in love with her and wants to marry her." The messenger went to the shepherdess and said that the son of the emperor fell in love with you and wanted to marry you. But the shepherdess asked, "What does he do?" The messenger replied, alas! He is the son of the king. He doesn't work. The woman said: He must learn a trade. The messenger returned to the king and reported to him word for word what the shepherdess had said.

The king said to the prince, "The shepherdess wants you to learn a trade!" Do you still want to marry her? The prince said firmly, "Yes, I want to learn to weave straw mats." So the prince learned to weave straw mats, straw mats of various colors and patterns. Three days later, he was able to knit a good straw mat. The messenger went back to the shepherdess and told her that the prince had woven these straw mats himself.

The shepherdess followed the messenger to the palace and married the prince.

One day, the prince wandered around a food store on the street in Baghdad. The shop looked very quiet and elegant, so he went in and chose a table to sit down.

It turned out to be a black shop run by a thief and murderer. They caught the prince and put him in the dungeon. Many dignitaries in this city are imprisoned there. These predatory robbers killed the fat man among the prisoners to feed the thin man, and they enjoyed it. The prince was weak, and the robbers didn't know that he was the prince of Persia, so they didn't kill him.

The prince said to the robber, "I weave straw mats, and the straw mats I weave are very valuable!" " "They took some grass to knit for him. He made three mats in three days and said to the robber, Take these mats to the yard of the king of Persia, and he will give you one hundred yuan for each mat. The robber sent three mats to the palace, and the king knew at a glance that they were his son's works. He took the mats to the shepherdess and said, Someone sent these mats to the palace, which was made by my missing son. The shepherdess picked up these cushions and studied them carefully one by one. She saw her husband's distress message written in Persian on the patterns of these mats and told the king this information.

So the king sent many soldiers to the den of thieves, rescued all the prisoners and killed all the robbers. Therefore, the prince can safely return to his father's palace and his wife, the little shepherdess. When the prince returned to the palace to meet his wife, he knelt before her and hugged her feet. He said, "My love! It is entirely because of you that I can live! " Therefore, the king loves shepherdess more.
