THE STORY OF BENSURDATU A Fairy Tale from Sicily Book PDF Summary
ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 289 In this 289th ÿissue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Sicilian fairy tale ?THE STORY OF BENSURDATU?. Long ago and far, far away, there was once a king and a queen who had three wonderfully beautiful daughters, and their one thought, from morning till night, was how they could make the girls happy. One day the princesses said to the king, 'Dear father, we want so much to have a picnic, and eat our dinner in the country.' 'Very well, dear children, let us have a picnic by all means,' answered he, and gave orders that everything should be got ready. On the day the royal family stepped into a carriage and drove right away into the country. After a few miles they reached their favourite place for picnic lunches. The drive had made them very hungry, and they ate with a hearty appetite, till almost all the food had disappeared. When they had quite done, they said to their parents: 'Now we should like to wander about the garden a little, but when you want to go home, just call to us.' And they ran off, laughing, down a green glade, which led to the garden. But no sooner had they stepped across the fence, than a dark cloud came down and covered them, and prevented them seeing whither they were going. Frightened at the sudden silence, they searched every corner of the garden, the house, and the neighbouring wood, but no trace of the girls was to be found anywhere. The earth seemed to have swallowed them up. The poor parents were in despair. The queen wept all the way home, and for many days after. The king issued a proclamation that whoever should bring back his lost daughters should have one of them to wife, and should, after his death, reign in his stead. First two young and upcoming army officers went in search of the girls and they too never returned and many months went by with no word. Now there was living in the palace a faithful servant of the king's called Bensurdatu, who had served him for many years, and when Bensurdatu saw how grieved the king was, he lifted up his voice and said to him: 'Your majesty, let me go and seek your daughters.' At first the king refused but seeing no alternative, relented. This story recounts the adventures, triumphs and betrayal that Bensurdatu experienced on his search for the princesses. Did Bensurdatu rescue the princesses and rule the kingdom after the king?s death? What did he have to do to rescue the princesses? Was there an evil force at work in the kingdom? And what of the two officers? Well, you?ll just have to download and read this story for yourself to find the answers to your questions.
