*A blue dove*

*Once upon a time, there was a master. His wife was pregnant. One day she went to a spring to get water and then gave birth to a donkey baby. She left him there. When the master found out, he came to the spring and brought the donkey baby back to his house to bring him up. When the baby reached eighteen years old.*

*One day, he asked his father to go to meet the King to arrange the marriage between him and his daughter. Because of curiosity, The King told the father to tell the donkey to meet him at midnight. At midnight, the donkey took off the donkey clothes and became a very handsome man then went to meet the King. The King met him and agreed to let him get married with his daughter. After the marriage, the donkey told the princess that at night he would take off the donkey clothes and became a young handsome man. Listening to the advice from some friends, the princess hid the donkey clothes to let her friends see her handsome husband. When the donkey found out, the princess told him she burnt the donkey cloth. The donkey told the princess he had to leave and not go to find him. He turned into a blue dove then flew away.*

Because the princess loved and missed her husband. Therefore, she decided to go to find him. The princess walked and walked, passed endless deserts. Then she met a flock of mourning blue sheep. Knowing that they were owned by her husband, she continued her journey following the way showed by the shepherd. Then she met a flock of mourning blue horses also owned by her husband. She continued her journey to look for her husband. When she rested at a pool, she met a servant maiden who was getting the water into the jug. Knowing the land owned by her husband and the girl would bring the water to her husband, the princess secretly put her ring into the jug. When the blue dove found the ring, then asked the servant to bring his wife to meet him. He told her he could not live with her without the donkey clothes and told her to leave. The princess told him she actually didn’t burn it, she just hid it and he flew away before she told him the truth. He found the donkey clothes. The blue dove became happy and turned into a man and lived happily with the princess.*
