Once upon a time there lived a peasant and his wife who lived in a
village. Many years passed but they had no children of their own and their life
without a child was all sad and empty. They mourned at their fate and longed
for a child. One day when they both were sleeping, an angel appeared in their dream
bringing the news that they soon will be blessed with a baby boy who will be
sad all the time and the angel disappeared. The next morning the peasants cow
gave birth to a calf but to his surprise it was not a calf but a handsome baby
boy. Both the peasant and his wife were overjoyed on seeing the baby boy and
took him as their own child. They named the baby boy Thomas. Years passed and Thomas became sadder every day. His sadness grew larger that he felt his heart
would burst at anytime. The peasant and his wife loved Thomas more than
anything in this world and soon they began to worry about their wards sadness
and they decided to send him to his uncle James who worked in the royal palace
as the royal clown and they thought that his funny behavior will change Thomas’s
sadness. On reaching the royal palace, Thomas was dumbstruck at the beauty of
the palace and its garden but was sad all the time. His uncle lived in the
staff quarters near the royal garden with the other staffs of the palace.
Thomas, though sad all the time was exceptionally handsome in the whole
kingdom. Thomas never spent his time with any lady and he grew sadder
about thinking about his sadness. He always
felt that he is missing something in his life. One day when Thomas was siting
in the garden thinking about his sadness, the prince noticed him through his
bed room window. The prince who never
came out of his room from the time of his birth was also sad all the time. On seeing
Thomas from his window he felt something in his heart, a feeling which he had
never felt before in his lifetime. For the first time in his lifetime he came
out of his room to visit Thomas but he reached the spot, Thomas was not there
and again grief filled his heart. When the king learned about the prince
leaving his room he became overwhelmed with joy and decided to arrange a ball. The
next day when Thomas again visited the garden he was surprised to see the
prince already waiting for him. The prince, on seeing Thomas again felt the
feeling in his heart and Thomas felt the same for the first time. They looked
into each others eyes for a real longtime. Both never wanted to blink. Later the
prince took Thomas to the palace to make him live with him. But the king never
liked the prince having a peasants company. Months passed and the bond grew
strong between Thomas and the prince. They both felt no sadness when they were
together. When it was time for the ball the prince denied dancing with anyone
else, the king who now turned on with rage ordered to stab Thomas's heart. When
the prince came to know about it rushed to Thomas but only to see him with a
stabbed heart. On seeing the sight his heart burst into pieces and a part of
it fell into Thomas’s chest and it started beating. Both Thomas and the price
felt great joy but there was no sadness at all. The prince kissed Thomas and
hugged him and they felt that they were all sad only to live a happy life
together. They went to the king’s court and declared their wish to marry each
other. The news shocked the king and the courtiers and the rest of the people
who were present there. The king at once ordered to expel both the prince and
Thomas. But then an angel from the heaven appeared in-front of the king and gave
the message from the god that “Never break true love as love has no boundaries.
Thomas and the prince were born only to
love each other and it can never be changed and let them live as a couple and
you shall be rewarded”. Later the king agreed upon the wedding and the wedding
took place in the church in front of the king and the people of the kingdom. They
were all happy that their prince will be no more sad and there was love
everywhere. Hatred was banished from their lands. Both the prince and Thomas
lived their life happily as a couple ever after.
