The Three Black Princesses Grimm’s Fairy Tales KHM 137 Once upon a time, a young prince wandered into a dark, enchanted forest while hunting. He stumbled upon a mysterious castle shrouded in mist. Inside, he discovered three black statues with shimmering eyes, standing in an empty hall. To his surprise, the statues began to speak. “We are three cursed princesses,” they said in unison. “An evil spell binds us here. To free us, you must complete three tasks. Fail, and you will be trapped with us forever.” The prince, brave and kind, agreed to help. The first task was to find the golden key hidden in the castle. The prince searched every nook and cranny until he spotted a raven swooping down to the garden fountain. Beneath the fountain’s crystal-clear water, the key glimmered. He retrieved it just in time. The second task was to defeat a fierce dragon guarding a chest in the tower. Armed with his wits, the prince noticed the dragon’s weakness—its obsession with shiny objects. He threw a polished shield to distract the dragon, snatched the chest, and fled. The final task was the hardest. The prince had to solve a riddle to unlock the chest. The riddle was, “What grows when shared and is endless?” After much thought, he declared, “Love.” The chest sprang open, revealing three glowing, magical feathers. The moment the prince placed the feathers on each statue, the curse broke. The statues transformed into three stunning princesses, their dark hair glistening like silk and their smiles radiant with joy. The youngest princess, touched by the prince’s courage and kindness, offered her hand in marriage. The castle turned bright and lively again, and they all lived happily ever after.
