A Horse's Secret

Long time ago, when there was no cars or motorbikes, people went from one to another place by riding horse. That’s why horses became so popular in that era. There was an annual event for peoples in a kingdom named Dreamery Kingdom. The event was horse racing. The winner of this competition could ask everything from the king as the gift.
            The winner for this year was an old lady. It made everyone in that kingdom surprised. They had the same question in their head ‘How come an old lady like that lady won this competition?’. Finally this was the time for the old lady to say her wish to the king.
            “I wanted the prince of this kingdom took care of my horse till I came back from my journey to a mysterious island.” said the old lady. Everyone was shocked, because it meant that the prince had to be a groom. Had no choice, the prince half-heartedly lived in the old lady’s house to take care of the horse. A strange thing happened. At night, the prince always heard a very beautiful voice sang a song from the horse stable. One night, he decided to see in the horse stable to know who the singer was. He was very surprised when he found a very beautiful lady there and did not find the horse.
           
“Who are you? Where is the horse?” asked the prince. “I am the horse.” Answered the beautiful lady. Then, the lady told the prince that she was a song fairy in a kingdom in the sky. Because of doing mistake, she was punished to be a horse. If she wanted to back with her real body and be song fairy again, she had to find a very handsome man and asked him to sing with her under a full moon. The old lady who won the competition was a white witch offered a help for her to find a handsome man. Then, the song fairy asked the prince to sing with her, but the prince agreed singing with her if she granted one wish from him. They agreed. From that night, every night, they would sing together in the horse stable before the time for them to sing under the full moon. Unexpectedly, they fell in love each other.
It was full moon. It was the time for them to sing under the dark sky, but they seemed like they did not want to do this. They did not want to be apart, but if they did not sing together this night, the fairy would be a horse for the rest of her life. Therefore, they sang a very sad song together. At the end of the song, suddenly the body of the song fairy shined and she got her wings again. It would make her easy to come back to the sky.
            Knowing that it was the time for both of them to say goodbye, the tears was flowing down her face. She wanted to stay with the prince, but she could not. Suddenly, the prince remembered about the wish.
            “Fairy, you promised me to grant my wish. Can you do it now?” Said the prince. “Yes, I can. My magic has been back. What is your wish, my prince?” said the song fairy. “I want you to be a human and stay with me here.” Said the prince. The song fairy was surprised hearing the prince’s wish, but then she smiled because it was the things she wanted, too. “Repeat your words and add the word ‘please’ at the end of your sentence,” said the song fairy.

           
“I want the song fairy to be a human and stay here with me, please,” repeated the prince. For twice, lights appeared from the song fairy’s body and her wings were disappeared. She became a human. Then, the prince brought her back to his kingdom and married her. They lived happily, and every night, they always sang a song together under the night sky to remind how was the first time they met and how they fell in love each other.
