they were destined to be together the couple was overjoyed when the King found out about the boy he was very angry how could a peasant son marry his daughter a princess he disguised himself as a rich landlord and went to the peasants house lying about being childless he offered the parents two sacks of gold in return for their only child the couple thought for a while they humbly rejected the gold but agreed to give up their boy they knew that they were very poor to provide their child with what he deserved the King took the boy and kept him in an unattended cart which was leaving the town he wanted to keep the boy away from his daughter that stormy night the King thought that he had changed destiny but that was not to be a while after the king had left the child was found by a humble man

will be turned into a goat what was your question again something about a fountain what's the hurry why don't you give me the answer on your way back Oh aren't you the most generous thank you sir Leo went ahead and came by another town the gatekeeper asked tell me why the tree which once bore golden apples now only has leas Leo gave the same reply and the gatekeeper happily let him in just as Leo thought that the array of strange riddles were over he came across a ferryman who asked him another one I will throw you to the other side but tell me this I ferry people back and forth every day without any change in my work all life how can I stop Leo side and mention the goat - the ferryman the ferryman naturally thought that being a ferryman for life was better than being a goat he ferried Leo to the other side and waved him goodbye Leo finally reached the devil's den outside he saw that someone was trying to pick mangoes from a tree am am oh sorry I'm so sorry I will not touch these mangoes what's your not my grandson who I thought it was the devil why are you here the devil is your grandson oh very well then could you tell me where he is at I have to ask him three riddles Leo

your father-in-law wants you to get into trouble that's why he sent you here wait can this be here comes the devil they would love to see what he does with you Leo was a sharp young boy he thought for a while and made a deal with the grandmother the grandmother was to save Leo and get the answer to the three riddles asked by the gatekeepers and the ferryman in return he would not tell the devil about his grandmother trying to eat mangoes the devil's grandmother transformed Leo into an ant and kept him in her pocket when the devil came he was so tired that he went straight to sleep [Music] what are you doing Oh what terrible terrible dream I had that dreamt that there's a fountain which once had wine but now it has nothing not even water that's because there is a big toad living under the fountain someone has to shoo him away the wine will then start flowing good night now after a while as the devil was in sound sleep his grandmother pulled another golden hair beautiful tree which bore golden apples and and now it has only leaves poor tree a rat is gnawing at its roots Nana someone has to sure wait the rat oh all right well you'll go back to sleep I will try to sleep again no I know you will pull my hair again so here it is now I have no more air for you to pull you're happy [Music] well I do have another riddle what is that why can't the ferryman stop ferrying people back and forth he doesn't want to do that how does he stop that's because the auras cursed yes to hand over his or to someone to be free of it the grandmother then transformed Leo back into his human form and handed over the three golden hairs to him Leo bowed to her and quickly left before she changed her mind do you have the answer of course I do but first row me over once I reached the other side I will give you your answer the ferryman did what he was asked hand over the or to someone and you shall be free goodbye now on his way back he met the second gatekeeper my friend there is a rat knowing on the roots of the tree which is why the tree isn't bearing golden apples happy the gate keeper went to the tree and shoot away the rat wood tree immediately bore golden apples rejoiced the town gifted Leo with two sacks of gold now it was time to answer the first gatekeepers question there is a big toad living under the fountain shoot away and the fountain will give you wine again oh what a splendid fountain it was that town too rewarded Leo with four sacks of gold Leo accepted his reward and left for the palace as the King saw Leo approaching with sacks of gold he was overwhelmed with greed Oh Oh my son-in-law has returned I was so worried about you tell me where did you find this gold Leo now knew how wicked the King was there is a ferryman on the way to the devil all you have to do is get on his boat take his oar and quickly row across there are fields of gold on the other side the king hurried off to the ferryman without thinking twice he took the ore off the Ferryman's hands the ferryman danced with joy and left the king all alone meanwhile Leo found all about his real parents [Music] both the peasant couple and the couple who took care of him were invited to the palace the prophecy came true Leo brought luck and fortune to the entire town and as for the greedy King it is believed that he still ferries back and forth all alone for no-one ever dared to take over the oar from him [Music]
