Lily and the Lion by the Brothers Grimm

00:00:00 LILY AND THE LION 00:00:18 A merchant, who had three daughters, was once setting out upon a journey; 00:00:57 And when the time came for him to go home, 00:03:00 And as he came near home, it was Lily, 00:04:05 But the lion was an enchanted prince. 00:04:41 After some time he said to her, “Tomorrow there will be a great feast” 00:05:51 So at last they set out together, 00:06:17 In a moment he disappeared, and when his wife came in and looked for him, she found only a white dove; 00:07:23 “Now,” thought she to herself, “no aid of man can be of use to me.” 00:10:11 So our poor wanderer went forth, and found all as the night-wind had said; 00:10:53 She went on for a long, long way, till at length she came to the castle whither the princess had carried the prince; 00:11:56 When evening came, and the prince had fallen asleep, 00:12:31 Then poor Lily was led away, and forced to give up the golden dress; 00:13:26 Then the princess thought to betray her as before, 00:14:17 And they stole away out of the palace by night unawares, 00:14:53 END Lily and the Lion from Grimms' Fairy tales by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm translated by Edgar Taylor and Marian Edwardes (AKA: The Singing, Springing Lark) (KHM 88) Read by Bob Neufeld Source: Grimm's Fairy Tales (version 2) https://librivox.org/grimms-fairy-tal...
