The Remarkable Rocket

The King’s son was going to be married, so the whole court was happy to hear the news. He waited a whole year for his bride and at last she arrived. She was a Russian Princess, and drove all the way from Finland in a sledge. The sledge was shaped like a great golden swan, and between the swan’s wings lay the little princess herself. Her long cloak reached down to her feet, on her head was a tiny cap of silver tissue. And she was as pale as the Snow Palace, in which she had always lived. So pale was she that as she drove through the streets, all the people wondered. «She is like a white rose!» they cried, and they threw down flowers on her from the balconies.

At the gate of the Castle the Prince was waiting to receive her. He had dreamy violet eyes, and his hair was like fine gold. When he saw her, he sank upon one knee and kissed her hand. «You are more beautiful than your picture», said the Prince. «She was like a white rose before,» said a young page to his neighbor, «but she is like a red rose now.»

For the next three days everybody spoke about Red rose, White rose.

When the three days were over, the marriage was celebrated. It was a magnificent ceremony. The bride and the bridegroom walked hand in hand under a canopy of purple velvet embroidered with little pearls. Then there was a banquet that lasted for five hours. The Prince and the Princess sat at the top of the Great Hall and drank out of a cup of clear crystal. Only true lovers could drink out of this cup. If false lips touched it, it grew gray, dull and cloudy. (by Oscar Wilde)
