Fat Prince Mustafa And The Magic Mirror
Once upon a time there lived a very fat prince called Mustafa. He lovedto eat all day. He had a huge tummy and flubby arms and legs. His
parents King Hassan and Queen Nuri were worried about him.
My son, you should eat less, King Hassan always said, A prince
should look slim and handsome. But it fell on deaf ears. Prince
Mustafa was not at all bothered. Prince Mustafa would often say,
Father, you eat to live but I live to eat! The poor King would say in
despair, I give up!
Then the King called all his ministers together. The ministers could
offer no new idea. One day an old man called at the palace. He wanted
to stay a few days at the palace. The King and Queen agreed for they
were kind people.
The old man noticed that the royal couple looked unhappy. Very
soon he came to know of Prince Mustafa. He saw the King and said,
Your highness, please dont force the prince to do anything. He must
desire it himself. A few days later, the old man said good-bye and left.
King Hassan was now deep in thought. He remembered the old
mans words. Then the King had an idea. He wanted the prince to get
married. The next day, he sent for the daughters of the kings of nearby
countries. When they saw the prince they refused to marry him and
laughed at him.
Fancy getting married to a fat ugly prince! they said mockingly.
Prince Mustafa felt embarrassed. He had never been humiliated like

this before. After everyone had left Prince Mustafa shut himself in a
room. He went to the mirror and looked at himself. He saw a huge
thing staring back at him. He looked at it closely. He did look ugly. Then
he said to his father, Father, I dont want to be fat anymore. I want tobe slim and handsome. The king then said, In that case you have to
work hard everyday. You must work and sweat. You must also eat less.
But I hate to work and sweat, the prince cried. He wanted an easier
way. Well, there is another way, the King said slowly.
There is a magic mirror on top of Tuahs Hill. Whoever looks into
the mirror becomes slim at once. Prince Mustafa was very excited. Imust find it at once. I must find it at once, he said again and again.
The next day the King and Prince Mustafa rode to Tuahs Hill. They
looked high and low for the magic mirror. It could not be found. At last
the King saw a small piece of mirror. He looked at it closely and said,
Look! This is a small piece of the magic mirror. I think the magic mirror
is broken. If you can find the other pieces, you can put the mirror
together again!
From that day the Prince went to Tuahs Hill everyday. He looked
for the broken pieces of the mirror everywhere. He looked for the
broken pieces of the mirror everywhere. Everyday he would find a small
piece and bring it back. It was hard work for him. He had to sweat it
out. But he didnt mind the hard work.
After 6 months of hard work, the magic mirror was ready. But the
Prince didnt need the magic mirror anymore. He was slim and
handsome now. His tummy was firm too. His father, King Hassan, then
told him the secret.

This mirror is actually an ordinary mirror. I broke it and scattered
the pieces all over Tuahs Hill. Prince Mustafa now realized his mistake.
He vowed not to be lazy anymore. He now knew that only eating less
and exercise will bring their rewards. Later, Prince Mustafa married aprincess. When King Hassan died, Prince Mustafa became the King and
ruled the land wisely.
Moral of the story:
1.Eat less due to our need.2.Control diet by eating just a healthy food.3.The way we eat and the style of our life will bring their rewards.4.Exercise is the most important. Doing exercise will present us the
pink of health.
