Marc, the Deer Prince

Once there lived a girl named Elvin. She lived in a cottage near the woods. She was very kind and helpful to others. She never ever harmed any living thing in her life. She always rescued the animals which were injured and kept it with her till it recovered. Some went back to their place and many remained with her.

One day, when Elvin was picking flowers and fruits from her garden, Baloo, the bear, which was with her, was fighting with something near the bush. Elvin went nearby and saw that it was trying to kill a deer which by mistake came by this way. The deer was trying to escape from Baloo, but it couldn't, and it was severely injured. Elvin was shocked and she tried to clear Baloo from that spot and took the injured deer to her house and gave necessary treatment. The deer quite after few minutes was out of pain. The deer remained with Elvin till it recovered.

It was a full moon day and Elvin was preparing food for all the animals. When she was about to feed the animals, she found the deer missing. Instead she saw a Prince standing in front of her. She was shocked and confused to see him there. He told her that he is Marc, Prince of Elusia, and that he was cursed by a Witch to turn into a deer. The Prince also told that he will be relieved from the curse once he meets a very kind and caring girl.

The Prince requested Elvin to marry him. On hearing this, Elvin was so happy. But the happiness did not remain for long. She was worried about the animals who stayed with her and she told the Prince that she cannot walk with the Prince leaving her friends behind. The Prince promised her that they will also be taken to the Kingdom and taken care after. Elvin married the Prince and lived happily together in the Kingdom.
