Once upon a time, there was a wealthy king who had three sons. When the king passed away, the three brothers set out into the world to make their own fortunes. The eldest and middle sons hurried ahead, impatient to gain wealth quickly, but the youngest son was careful, thoughtful, and kind-hearted. He prepared enough food, clothes, and supplies for the journey, moving slowly and cautiously, always thinking ahead and avoiding unnecessary dangers.
While traveling through a dense forest, the youngest prince stumbled upon a magnificent castle that seemed magical, unlike anything he had ever seen. There, he met a giant white cat who could speak like a human. The cat welcomed him politely and explained that it could help him achieve great wealth and success, but only if the prince promised to follow its advice faithfully and obey its instructions. The prince, trusting the cat and intrigued by its words, agreed immediately.
The white cat guided the prince to hidden treasures and gave him precise instructions on how to act wisely, modestly, and with patience. Thanks to the cat’s guidance, the prince quickly gained wealth, built a magnificent palace, and earned the admiration of everyone around him for his intelligence, generosity, and fairness. The cat also taught him how to navigate challenges, outsmart clever opponents, and overcome dangerous obstacles.
After a while, the white cat shared a secret that completely changed the prince’s understanding of his friend. She revealed that she had once been a beautiful princess, but an evil sorceress had cast a powerful curse on her, turning her into a white cat. The curse could only be broken if the prince truly loved her and promised to marry her. The prince, who had grown to trust, respect, and care deeply for the cat, agreed without hesitation. When he expressed his love and promised to marry her, the spell was lifted, and the white cat transformed back into a radiant, graceful, and beautiful princess.
The prince and the princess were married in a joyful and grand celebration. They ruled the kingdom together with kindness, justice, and fairness. The princess, once trapped as a cat, finally found happiness, and the prince’s bravery, humility, and wisdom were rewarded. Their story became a lasting tale of loyalty, patience, cleverness, and the power of a good heart.
