The Forgotten Queen and the Flowers of Truth

There was a king. He had seven queens. The six elder queens were very arrogant the younger queen was very quiet. That is why the king liked the younger queen more than anyone else.

But the king had no sons or daughters. Who would enjoy such a big kingdom? The king was so sad.

Days passed like this. After a long time, the younger queen would have a child. The king was very happy and the king called his servants and announced to the kingdom The king has opened the royal treasury come and take as much sweets sweets and jewels as you can.

The six elder queens were burning with jealousy and began to die.

The king tied a gold chain around the waist of the younger queen and said, When you have a son, shake this chain I will come and see the son Saying this the king went to the royal court.

The younger queen will have a son who will go to the palace? The elder queen said Ah if the younger queen has a son why should I give it to someone else? We will go.

The elder queens went to the palace and shook the chains. Immediately the royal court broke up played drums and played drums and the king came with jewels and jewels. He saw nothing

The king went back.

As soon as the king sat down in the court the chains shook again. The king ran away again. He went and saw that nothing happened this time either. The king got angry and said If you shake the chains again because you dont have a son I will cut off all the queens. Saying this the king left. One by one the little queen had seven sons and one daughter. Ah the children were like moon dolls flower buds. She waved her hands and feet in a frenzy and the palace became bright.

The little queen said softly What a boy Bubu why didnt you show me once

The elder queens made gestures near the little queens face waved their hands and shook their noses saying No boy its an elephant she will have another son How many rats and how many crabs have there been?

Hearing this the little queen fell unconscious.

The cruel old queens quietly brought pots and pans put the children in them and buried them in the nearby ditch. Then they pulled them by the chains.

The king came running again playing the drums and drums bringing with him jewels. The old queens wiped their hands and faces and quickly brought out a number of baby frogs and baby mice.

Seeing this the king got angry and threw the little queen out of the palace. The old queens could no longer smile and the sound of their feet could not stop. The thorn in their hearts was removed and the old queens began to cry in happiness.

The little queen became a maid and started wandering around the streets.

In this way the days passed. There is no happiness in the kings mind there is no happiness in the kings kingdom the palace is empty and no fruit blooms in the kings garden. One day the gardener came and said Your Majesty I cant find flowers to decorate the house but today seven chappas on the parul tree seven chappas and one parul are blooming.

The king said Then bring those flowers I will decorate the house.

The gardener went to get the flowers.

Seeing the owner, the parul flower on the parul tree called out to the chapaphuul and said, Sat Bhai Champa, wake up

Just then, the seven chappas stood up and responded, Why are you calling me sister Parul

Parul said The king s gardener has come. Will you give me flowers or not

The seven chappas hurriedly climbed up and shook their heads and said I will not give you flowers I will not give you flowers. Let the king come a hundred miles away but I will give you flowers

The gardener was surprised to see it. He threw down the flower arrangement and ran to inform the king.

The king and all the royal court came there in surprise.

The king came and went to pick the flowers and Amni Parulphul called the Chapaphuls and said

Seven brothers wake up

The Chapaphuls replied Why is Sister Parul calling? Parul said The king has come will you give me flowers or not?

The Chapaphuls said-

I will not give you flowers I will climb a hundred miles, let the king s eldest queen come first then I will give you flowers.

Saying this the Chapaphuls rose even higher.

The king called the Bararanis. The Bararani came and went to pick the flowers. The Chapaphuls said

I will not give you flowers I will climb a hundred miles let the king s eldest queen come first then I will give you flowers.

Then the queen came the queen came the queen came the queen came but none of them got the flowers. The flowers went and remained blooming like stars in the sky.

The king sat down on the ground with his hand on his cheek.

Finally the queen came, and the flower girls said

I will not give you flowers I will go a hundred miles away if the king s maidservant comes I will give you flowers.

Then many people went out to look for the maidservant. The king sent Chaudola, and the pike and the pawns went to the field with Chaudola and found the maidservant Chotorani.

The maidservant was wearing dung on her hands and feet and was wearing torn clothes so she went to pick flowers. The birds came down from the sky with a tickling sound the Parul flower went and mingled with them from among the flowers seven princes one princess beautiful like the moon called out Maa Maa and jumped into the arms of the maidservant the little queen.

Seeing such a scene everyone was surprised Tears flowed from the king s eyes. The big queens started trembling with fear.

The king immediately ordered the big queens to be cut down and buried. The king went to Rajpuri with the seven princes one princess and the little queen.

The music of joy grew in Rajpuri. The king s ministers also started playing drums.
