The Magic Mirror
Page 1
Many years past, there was a king in Spain who announced that he would be married. The king only needed to find a wife.

The king’s challenge, however, was difficult. He said that each woman who wanted to be his wife must look in the king’s magic mirror.

Everyone asked about the magic mirror. The king said, “It shows everyone’s sins as scars on the face. If you are a bad person, you are ugly in my mirror.”

None of the wealthy and noble women in the country wanted to look in the mirror. They all thought about their lives, and they worried about their sins.

The king began looking for women from other countries. But no noble woman from anywhere would look in the mirror.

Finally, a poor farmer said, “If you will marry a common girl, then please consider my daughter. She is innocent, and she will look in the magic mirror.”

The king told the farmer to bring his daughter. When she came, everyone was in the castle. They wanted to see her face in the magic mirror.

The girl was very modest and shy. She walked nervously through all of the wealthy and noble people. Then, she looked in the mirror, and she had no scars.
