The King of the Golden Mountain
< >A merchant accidentally gives up his only son in a bargain to a dwarf that makes him rich. Whoops. When the dwarf comes to claim the boy, the merchant resists, and it's decided that the boy belongs to no one, but must float down the river. Why? Don't ask questions.He reaches a castle where a princess is enchanted as a snake and instructs him to withstand torture silently for three nights.The princess is disenchanted and they wed, making him king of the Golden Mountain. Dude really wants to go home, but his wife ain't havin' it. Finally, she relents, and gives him a wishing ring, cautioning him not to use it on her. He goes home and his parents don't believe that it's really him, so he wishes that his wife were there to prove it. She's not happy about this (don't husbands ever listen?), and she betrays him by taking back the ring and wishing herself and their child home. In search of her, he comes upon a group of giants arguing over how to divide their inheritance: an invisibility cloak, a pair of boots that will take their wearer anywhere in seconds, and a sword that will chop off the heads of everyone but he who holds it. The king cleverly says he has to test them out first, and disappears with all three.He returns home, torments his wife while he's invisible, and then beheads everyone so he can rule the Golden Mountain all alone.
08/26/2018 By Back Country Horsemen We were so hoping we would be able to find this one but 8 of us looked for at least a 1/2 hour & we needed to move on. If it was on the ground, lots of things can happen to a micro in the woods, thats for sure!
