THE ARROGANT PRINCESS

Once upon a time, there was a young lady who was very pretty but very
conceited. She was as proud as a peacock. She put on heavy make-up, wore
expensive dresses, and turned down all the suitors that came her way because
none of them was rich or handsome enough. In just a few years, she had broken
the hearts of many an honest man who wanted to marry her. She insisted that
she deserved no less than a prince.
The years passed by and her beauty was fading when a very handsome
suitor swept her off her feet. She knew her prince had finally come. She fell madly
in love with him. The man asked her parents for her hand in marriage and they
were engaged. Rosamada, that was her name, was the happiest woman in the
world. They were married in a fabulous wedding. The groom was more handsome
than ever in his high hat and tuxedo. A reception followed with plenty to eat and
drink. She looked beautiful in her lace wedding gown, her veil, and flower crown.
After the reception, the newlyweds went on their honeymoon.
When they arrived at a castle in the forest that the groom had chosen, she
embraced and smiled at her husband lovingly. He returned the smile and she
noticed that his teeth were very long, sharp, and shone like gold. Rosamada was
quite surprised; she had not noticed that his teeth were like this before. Her
husband then took off his coat and then she saw that he had a two-pointed tail.
She started to tremble with horror. What was happening? She had married a very
handsome young man, who was this person?
Her husband very abruptly took off his hat and the new wife almost fainted.
The man had two horns and two very big and pointed ears. He then took off his
shirt and she saw that his chest was covered with long black hairs. When he
started taking off his gloves, Rosamada tried to escape from his sight but he
caught her with his hairy arms and very long claws. He held her while he took off
his shoes and she was able to see that his feet were hoofs. She started to scream
for help but no one could hear her. She understood at once that she had married
the devil himself, and that she was being punished for her arrogance.
They say that the devil and the castle disappeared all at once. By pure luck,
a hunter found Rosamada lying on the ground and took her back to the city. She
was sick six months with hot and cold chills and then she died, which always
happens.
