Fairy tale on stamps - Donkey Skin Princess

Once upon a time there was a king who had a delicate and lovely girl. When the queen was dying, she told the king that she must find a princess more beautiful than her as a step-attendant. After the queen's death, the king was sad for a while, but the deep grief did not last long. He began to look for a new queen among some of the princesses to be married, but he did not look at anyone.

Something bad happened: he suddenly found that his daughter was not only very beautiful, but also wise and graceful much more than his deceased wife, and he decided to marry his daughter as a wife. And the vile and greedy priest, in order to gain the king's trust, disregarded the minimum ethics and described the crime to be committed by the king as a charity.

The young princess was in great pain, and she could not convince her ridiculous father, so she went to her godmother, the Lilac Fairy. The fairy helped the princess with many ideas, but she could not dispel the king's absurd thoughts, and finally the fairy had to let the princess put on an ugly donkey skin and quietly take her out of the palace.

The princess put on a dirty and ugly donkey skin, and no one was willing to take her in, and finally went to the family's house to do the rough work of cleaning the floor and cleaning the pigsty, and was ridiculed by other servants.

The princess worked very carefully and was protected by her master. She had to wrap herself in donkey skin forever in front of others. Only when grazing, with no one else around, do you dare to take off the skin of the donkey and reveal your beautiful skin. Once, this scene happened to be seen by a prince.

The prince could not forget this beautiful image and immediately went to inquire about her master, but the people told him that all he saw was a dirty and ugly servant, with no name, but was called donkey skin by everyone. The prince was so excited by the intense love that he fell ill when he returned, and even the doctor was helpless. In order to save the prince's life, the queen promised to fulfill all his demands. So the dying prince asked his mother to make him a cake with donkey skin. The queen, though strange, immediately asked the dark and dirty fool to make a cake.

The princess had also seen the prince, and she had the image of a prince in her heart, and she put in her ring when she made the cake. The prince was very pleased and begged his parents to agree to marry the owner of the ring, for the ring was so delicate and small that only the most beautiful and small fingers were worthy of wearing it.

The king ordered all the young girls to try on the ring, but no one could wear it, even all the servants and the women who did the rough work, but they still could not find the owner of the ring. The prince asked, "Is the donkey skin for the cake coming?" This caused laughter from everyone, but when the donkey skin really came, the prince couldn't believe that it was the beautiful girl he had ever seen. But the little hand that reached out from under the donkey skin effortlessly put on the ring, just right. Everyone was stunned. At this time, the princess shook her body slightly, the donkey skin fell off, and a charming and beautiful girl stood in front of the prince, who immediately recognized her. At this time, the lilac fairy also arrived, and the fairy told everyone about the princess's experience.

Everyone admired the princess's character and immediately prepared to marry the prince. The king invited the monarchs of various countries, and the father of the princess came, and he had long forgotten the incestuous love and married the queen. He recognized his daughter and agreed to her marriage. The wedding lasted for three months, but the love between the prince and the princess lasted forever.
