Tom's Drag | Miroir mural vertical design Versailles motifs floraux

Once, there was a king of the Granada kingdom who decided to marry. To find a worthy woman, the court barber told an idea to the King. “I have a magic mirror. If any woman who is not kind looks into that mirror, there will be many spots on the mirror surface.”

Soon, the news was announced to all people in his kingdom. Almost all women wanted to be Queen of Granada. However, no woman was coming to have a look into that mirror. Days and weeks went by, and King was no closer to get his Queen.

Then, the barber told King that there was a brave shepherdess on a mountainside. King asked him to invite that shepherdess to his palace. Also, the royal hall was full of ladies as well as knights.

King told that shepherdess to look into the mirror. Shepherdess answered that everyone made mistakes. However, she wasn’t afraid to look into the mirror. Many ladies surrounded her and found that it wasn’t a magic mirror. Those ladies complained and felt being tricked.

Finally, King stated that there was no trick because the magic mirror could see that the shepherdess is an innocent and brave girl. King wanted to find a bride who was confident about her character like that shepherdess.
