22nd: The Twelve Dancing Princesses

Once there was a king who had twelve daughters. These twelve beautiful princesses all slept in one bed room. Every night the king make them sleep, and then he carefully locked the bedroom door. But every morning, the princesses were tired. In addition, there were their shoes with dirt and full of holes. The king asked them what they had done, but they always didn't tell the truth. Therefore, the king decided to ask a prince to watch his daughters carefully and told what the prince saw in the next morning. But the oldest princess gave the prince a drink to make him sleep. So he couldn't saw anything and hear anything. The king tried repeatedly, but the same things happened. So the king couldn't know anything.

One day, a soldier was asked the mission by the king. After that, he helped an old woman kindly. The old woman thanked him, and told what he should had done during the mission. And she gave him a magic cloak that made him invisible. He thanked the old woman. At that night, he went to the castle to watch the truth.


What did the twelve princesses do during the night?

It is exciting for to know what is kept secret. Don't you think so?
