THE STOLEN RING


Once upon a time the king in the animal's kingdom summoned all the animals to discuss how to recover his stolen golden ring. His golden ring was stolen by evil spirit who tried to marry King's daughter but he rejected the proposal by saying "My daughter will never marry any man I don't his origin. While discussion was going on, he made powerful pronouncement by saying "Anybody who find or recover my golden ring from the evil spirit in the spiritual world, I will offer my beautiful virgin daughter and my humble maiden (Sinister The Stranger). When they heard that promise made by the king, they began to crack their brains of what to do in to the one who would marry the King's daughter. Now Spider raised his hands and said " My Loyal Majesty, I'm ready to go to the spiritual world and recover your golden ring." When other animals heard that, they were astonished and they asked him, "How can you do that, do you know the roads that lead to spiritual world and why do you choose to go into the spiritual world instead of other animals? He responded to them, " For now, I don't know what to do but when the time comes, I will know how to do it ." Now the king joyfully accepted his request and said "It will be well with you my humble servant." After the gathering, all of them went their various home and began their journey of how to recover the stolen golden ring. Now Spider began his own journey which took him seven days. As he was moving and searching, he came across the boundary between the living and dead. He passed the boundary and entered the spiritual world, there he saw a small hole made by evil spirits which leads to their abode. Now he put his cobwebs down to the place where the stolen ring was hidden. He used his cobwebs and drew the ring till he brought it to the physical world. He took the ring back home and hand it over to the king. The king was very exciting, he called emergency meeting at village square and announced to them that his stolen ring had being recovered (found) and he is here now to fulfil his promise. He called his daughter and his maiden (Sinister the Stranger) and hand them over to the Spider. They celebrated the victory and from that fateful day, the whole animals in animal kingdom began to fear Spider because he was the first person who went to spiritual world and came back alive without any harm.
