EDELWEISS
Long
time ago , there was a handsome young man who wanted to climb the Alp Mountain.
The mountain was so cold and covered with thick snow. People said that
beautiful fairy lived in that mountain.
The
young man wanted to meet the fairy. He also wanted to see the beautiful palace
made of ice. Many people tried to clib the mountain but all of them gave up
before they met the fairy and some others could not stand the cold.
This
young man was different. He could climb the mountain and did not give up. He
climbed and climbed for the whole week. The weather was so cold, but he kept
climbing to the fairy’s palace.
He
finally met the beautiful fairy, and they fell in love with each other
immediately. But the fairy was not happy.
“
We can’t live together. My father would not allow me to marry a man”, said the
fairy.
“
Why not?” asked the young man.
“
Because we lived in two different worlds. I can’t stay in your world because it
is too hot and you can’t stay in my palace because it is too cold, I am afraid
you will die”, explain the fairy.
Therefore,
they had to separate. Since that day, the young man promised to himself that he
would not marry anyone. The beautiful fairy was so sad that she cried every
day. Every time her tears flowed down on the mountain, it became a beautiful
white flower called adelweiss.
