HAIR TROUBLE - FANTASY STORY

 


Once there was a happy little Princess having long lustrous hair. With her age it grew so long that she was unable to takle it.
The king called a Barber to the palace garden to cut the princess ' hair .After cutting it she felt light but repented for its beauty.
The princess waited for the hair growth again. In the meantime her cut up hair was collected by a Maid Servant from the garden. She sold the hair bunch to the Barber who made a beautiful wig from it and sold to the market at High Price.

On the other hand the Princess dreamt a fairy at one night who asked her to request for a boon . The Princess prayed for having her hair again. The fairy granted her prayer and vanished. From that day onward a unnatural thing happened. Fresh Green Leaves started growing on the princess'bald head. The princess cried out in despair as it became a humorous matter to go outside. She became pent up in the palace. The leaves were growing rapidly.The Princess felt helpless. 

After a few days The Fairy again appeared in her dream. She asked for solution. The Fairy directed her the way- Next morning she cut up the leaves of her head one by one and dumped them under the soil. The princess remained bald. Within a Few Days there grew a green tree with black hair like leaves. The princess asked her maid to open the palace gate. Then all barbers came there and collected the leaves from that tree. They made beautiful wigs from the string like leaves and sold to the market and became prosperous.

Then The Fairy appeared in the First Barber's dream and told him to go to the Princess and gift her the wig made from her own hair.The Barber who first cut the hair of the Princess , went to the palace again, met the Sad Princess. Instead of taking anything, he gifted the wig created with the Princess' original hair  . The Princess accepted it as directed by the Fairy. And wore the wig on her bald head. Actually The Barber bought the wig again from the person he sold it to. 

The fact behind the story is that the princess was guilty of a wrong deed of previous birth. She stole that particular Barber 's money as she was stricken by poverty. In this birth she became princess and that's why the whole thing happened. Thus she compensated her Dishonesty and lived with wig on bald head as a Punishment ever after.
