Many long years ago. There was a king, who had two wives. The King likes the wife with two sons, but he detests his second wife with one son. The King was getting old, and he always worried about dying soon. One day a counsellor from the council of the king came with some news so special for the king. The Wazir expressed his gratitude to the king, he bowed and kissed his king's hand. With a calm tone the Wazir said, "O the mighty king I have heard about a magical apple far away from our kingdom, that apple can make you young if you eat it". The King with his flapping hands in the air came forward and joyously grabbed the shoulders of the Wazir and said, "Then bring the apple to your king, and I shall then reward you with half of my kingdom". Upon hearing this the Wazir set a foot back and in a sorrowful voice replied, " O my mighty king I don't dare to walk to the wilds of another kingdom, but there shall be a man of courage and with pure heart, he will do this service to his king". The King hastily cried, 'Is there anyone who can bring the magical apple so I could grow young again, I promise my kingdom to be shared equally with that man of courage and pure heart.' The court of the king remained silent, and no one dared come forward. It was as though the king was never going to get the magical apple, but then his two children from his first wife whom the king likes a lot came forward. The King's two children were willing to go on the daunting task of bringing the apple in return for half of the kingdom. The King's other son from the second wife also came forward afterward. The King was quite amazed upon seeing his not-so-abled son coming forward for this adventure that is full ofbreathtaking risks. The King shouted " Hurr, the name of his second wife. Hurr appeared in front of the King and said in a faint voice "My lord I'm at your service". The King frowned, and in a hoarse voice said, "If your son is not able to bring back the magical apple then I'll throw you both disgusting souls to the lions ". Hurr was trembling, but she managed to get to her son and said in his ear that kindness and truth will always stand by your side, so be kind and truthful, my son. With tears in her eyes, Hurr left the court, and the three sons of the King started preparing for the quest ahead
