The Little Green Rabbit

Long ago there was a very rich king who had three sons - three very handsome sons whom he loved very much. The king, however, desired to he this orders obeyed implicitly. One day the three princes went visiting without their father's permission and the king became so angry that he punished them by enchanting them and transforming them into little rabbits. The eldest was changed into a pinto rabbit, the second into a white rabbit, and the youngest into a very pretty little green rabbit.

Furthermore, the king told them, "For an entire year you will not lee the palace and will only assume your human form at night."

Time passed. One day when the three rabbits were nibbling grass in the palace garden, the green rabbit said, "Hermanos, I can't bear this life any longer. Let us crawl through the water pipe and see what surrounds this prison."

The other two rabbits were loath to go. They were afraid of the king. However, the green rabbit insisted so much that finally the brothers agreed. All that afternoon the rabbits ran over the hill and dale. returning to the palace, they heard the beautiful voice of someone singing a happy song.

"Let us go and see who is singing," said the green rabbit.

His brothers refused, even though the green rabbit begged and begged. The green rabbit went alone. He went in the direction the singing came from and found a beautiful palace. Hoping to find a way to get in, he hopped around the garden walls and finally found a crack through which he crawled. Silently he crept into the garden. There he saw that the singer was a beautiful princess with sun-gold hair and sea-blue eyes. Her name was Marisol. The little rabbit dell in love with her at first sight. Unconsciously, he got nearer and nearer to her. The princess, seeing the rabbit, with a single motion captured him. She ran into the palace to show her parents the pretty little green rabbit she had captured. Her parents loved Marisol very much. Besides being good and kind, Marisol was their only daughter. The princess then took the rabbit to her bedroom and imagine her surprise when she heard the rabbit speak!

"Beautiful princess, I am not a rabbit. I am a prince enchanted as punishment for disobeying my father. If you do not let me go, my father the king will kill me tonight. Release me and I promise that as soon as my penalty is over, I will return and marry you. In token of my word, take this ring."

The princess was astonished to hear the rabbit's words, but because she was kind and because she had fallen in love with the rabbit, she took him to the garden and let him go.

Months passed and the rabbit didn't e back to see Marisol! More time went by and Marisol began to pine. To such an extent did her heartbreak increase that her parents became alarmed. They decided that in order to cheer her, a great fiesta would be given in her h

onor. They ordered musicians and artists to be brought from all over. Perhaps they would cheer her.

In a nearby village there lived an old man who had a daughter. The girl could play the guitar and sing gay and beautiful songs. When he heard the king's proclamation, the old man decided to take Rosita, he daughter, to sing before the princess. The girl and her father, astride their little donkey, set out for the palace. They had to pass through the city where the rabbits lived. When they arrived there, Rosita and her father were very hungry. She went to a bakery near to the palace to buy some bread. The baker was very angry because his bread had burnt, so he hurled the flat loaf of bread at Rosita. She tried to catch it but could not. The round, flat loaf fell to the floor and rolled out of the door. Rosita ran after it, but the bread kept on rolling and rolling. Finally, it rolled through a crack in the palace wall and lodged near the door of a beautiful bedroom in which there were three beautiful beds. Rosita heard a noise and perforce had to hide. She took cover behind the arras in the room, and peeping around it saw three rabbits e in. One was a pinto rabbit, the other a white rabbit and the third a green rabbit. The pinto rabbit jumped on the bed, flipped himself over, and became a handsome prince. The white one did the same and changed into another very handsome prince. Soon, both went to sleep. Finally, the green rabbit jumped on the bed, flipped over, and was changed into a very, very handsome prince. But this last prince did not go to sleep right away; he began to cry. The other two princes awoke and began to talk to him saying, "Fet the Princess Marisol. Our father will never let you marry her."

At last all three princes went to sleep and Rosita managed to make her way out of the palace by the same route she had used in entering.

Dawn was near, so Rosita and her father left for Marisol's village.

Rosita and her father arrived at the palace and went to see the king. Rosita sang and danced but could make no impression on Marisol. At length, Rosita said, "Look Princess, I am going to tell you a tale."

Then Rosita related all that had happened and how she had seen the little green rabbit. Marisol was filled with joy and asked her parents for permission to go and see the green rabbit. Marisol's parents did not want to let her go, but she insisted so much that the king and queen finally agreed.

Rosita and Marisol journeyed to the city where the rabbit lived. When they were near the crack in the wall of the palace, Rosita told Marisol, "Look, my princess, we are going into the palace through this crack in the wall. Do not make any noise, for if the king hears us he will kill us."

Marisol agreed and they entered the prince's bedroom. After some time the pinto rabbit came in, jumped on the bed, flipped over and became a handsome prince. Then

a white rabbit came in, did the same, and became another handsome prince. At last the little green rabbit came in, and when he had jumped on the bed and flopped over, marisol could not stand it any longer. She cried and ran towards the prince.

The king, who had been strolling near the hall, heard Marisol cry and immediately rushed to the bedroom. When the king saw her, he was greatly angered, so much that he wanted to kill her. But then the youngest prince told his father, "My liege and my King, this maiden is my fiancée and we are going to be married."

The king's rage knew no bounds but, controlling himself he said, "So you want to get married, eh? And so you he seen each other without my consent, eh? Well, now, before I agree to your wedding you two must do as I say."

"You," he told the prince, "will continue to be a rabbit for seven more years. And you," the king told Marisol, "will not be able to marry the prince until you fill seven barrels with your tears and wear out these seven pairs of iron shoes."

The poor prince and the poor princess had to say yes. They could not do anything else. The rince knelt down and prayed and Marisol tearfully bade him good-bye as she went out into the world to wear out her iron shoes.

After walking and crying a long, long time, Marisol finally arrived at the house where the moon lived. Marisol had already filled the barrels with her tears and worn out the seven pairs of iron shoes. However, the poor girl was so tired and so far from the green rabbit's palace that she had to rest some place. Marisol knocked on the door of the moon's house and the moon came out.

"Nia," said the moon, "what are you doing here?"

Marisol told the moon her story and asked aid in reaching the green rabbit's home.

"Look," said the moon, "at present I cannot trel through that particular part of the world. I am not due on that side of the earth for many more days. But do you see that hill? My padre, the Sun, lives over there. Go to him, he probably will be able to help you."

Marisol walked and walked and finally arrived at the sun's house. She knocked on the door and th sun came out. "What are you doing around here, nia?" asked the sun.

"I am the green rabbit's fiancée," said Marisol. "I am wondering if you could aid me in getting back to his palace."

The sun stared at Marisol and said, "Do you say you are the green rabbit's fiancée? That is impossible. The green rabbit is going to be married within three days. His fiancée was picked out by the king himself. All the people are praying for me to be in a good humor. They really want me to shine that day."

"Seor Sol," begged Marisol, "please take me to the palace." A

nd the girl told the sun all that had happened to her.

"Look, nia," answered the sun, "I cannot take you because if I held you in my arms I would burn you. But listen! Yonder, on the other side of that hill, lives my padre, the Wind. Tell him to take you where you are going."

Marisol walked and walked until finally reaching the hill, went to the house where the wind lived. The girl knocked on the door and seora Aire, the wind's wife, came out.

"e in, hijita," seora Aire said, "what are you doing around here?"

Marisol told seora Aire all that had happened. Suddenly the seor Aire came in, laughing so hard that he shook aThe Little Green Rabbit

ll over. Seora Aire asked him the reason for his laughter and seor Aire answered that it was because he had destroyed all the preparations for the wedding of the green rabbit and his fiancée. The wind saw Marisol then, and asked her what she was doing there. Marisol told him what had befallen her.

"Oh," said seor Aire, "that's probably the reason the green rabbit has been praying so much in the chapel lately. I think he is asking for your return. take hold of my waist and quicker than you can wink your eye we will be at the palace."

And with whirlwind speed seor Aire took Marisol to the palace where the green rabbit lived.

The king was there also and he asked, "Who is this beggar?"

But the green rabbit recognized Marisol and ran to her, crying at the same time, "My fiancée is here! My true fiancée has e at last!"

Marisol then produced the seven barrels filled with her tears and a handkerchief where the remains of the seven pairs of iron shoes were tied. She ge them to the king.

And since the king had given his word, Marisol and the prince were married and lived happily ever after.
