“The three eldest went out on a ritual quest in hopes of finding wealth and honor, but on their way home, having indeed found both wealth and honor, they fell into the hands of an evil king who imprisoned them, claiming they'd committed a hideous crime. Some say each of the princes had done something foolish, and some tell it that they had done nothing at all. This evil king, it is said, had told his officers to accuse any wealthy traveler of serious crimes, that he might enrich himself thereby,... stealing their possessions and—when chance allowed—demanding a ransom to free them. A prince—certainly three princes—suited this king's ambitions. He was certain he could wring substantial ransom from their father. So word was sent to their father that vast sums must be paid, hundreds of gold pieces for each, or the princes would be enslaved for the rest of their lives. With great difficulty, Falk's father collected almost the sum demanded, and sent Falk (not wishing to risk the next eldest brothers) to pay the ransom.MoreLessRead More Read Less
