 87  And Grandmarina disappeared. The King went on his way to work. Soon it was time to go home again. At home he invited Princess Alicia to eat some fish. The King saw the fish-bone on the plate. Alicia, you must wash it and take good care of it. It is a magic fish-bone, and it will bring you anything you want but only once and the time must be right.   The next day the Queen was not very well. Oh, dear, my head, my head. Princess Alicia took care of her mother. She cooked her good breakfast, dinner and supper. She took care of all her brothers and sisters. And every day Alicia was very, very busy. One evening the King called Alicia. You haven’t forgotten it then?  Where is the magic fish-bone?  No, I haven’t, father. Another time one of the young princes cut his hand badly. Alicia took care of him and put 4 his hand in a bowl of cold water. She washed and cleaned his hand and it was soon much better. What are you doing, Alicia?   One of the young princess cut her hand badly. I have washed and cleaned her hand, and now it is much better. Where is the magic fish-bone? Have you forgotten about it? No, I haven’t forgotten, father. It is in my pocket. One day Alicia saw that her father was so unhappy. Children, leave us for some minutes, please. What is the matter? I haven’t any money and the children need new clothes. Have you no money at all? No, my child. Can’t you get any from anywhere? I have tried very hard. I have tried everything.   Father, when we have tried very, very hard and when we have done our very best, I think it is time to ask others for help.  87 |
