I begin tonight with a story that takes place in a far away country now lost in the myths of time.

Old King and Queen and the King's ailing and the Queen's concerned about the care of the kingdom after he's gone.

The reason is they have a son or prince, a young prince, who is very proficient in the matters of war and clever in terms of the affairs of state.

He's kind of an aggressive guy in egocentric. He's been positioning himself well with different sectors of the population, but he's not really concerned about people's troubles, kind of impatient and headstrong.

So the Queen's concerned that she goes to a sorcerer and tells the problem and he listens and he asks the question, what does the prince like more than anything else?

And her response is horses. He's passionate about horses. The sorcerer says that'll do.

So he tells the Queen to bring the prince to the palace gardens the following day. She does so and there's a beautiful white horse.

And the prince runs up to it, wants it, asks how much and the sorcerer says, well, can you ride it? And he says, can I ride it?

He jumps on, begins to gallop faster and faster. He's thrilled. He goes out to the surrounding farmlands, keeps on galloping into the hills and then the high mountains and overpasses.

And he never tires. He just keeps on going and going until the prince finds himself in regions that he's never been to.

And beautiful woods and slowly he starts, you know, slows down some. He finally comes to a stop in front of a small cottage in the middle of a deep forest.

And of course a beautiful young woman answers the door. Doesn't that always happen? She's never heard of his kingdom, but she invites him to stay the night so he stays over and introduced to the father, a woodcutter.

And then the next morning he sets out to find his way home and everyone he asks has no idea where that kingdom is.

And basically, you know, he's kind of realized that he's only going to get more and more lost so he goes back to the cottage.

And this happens each day. He goes out trying to find someone who can help him figure out his way home, but no one knows.

So eventually he begins to help the old man with the work cutting wood and he kind of grows wise in the ways of the woods.

The forest, he's attracted to the daughters so they get married. New life, a trade, he gives birth to a son and a daughter and takes over the family business and lives a simple life.

He's taking care of the needs of his family, becomes very happy and peaceful, and the memories of his former life fade.

He often walks in the forest, special walk when he loves a lot into this deep gland, a very clear sparkling pure gland in the midst is a pure deep pond.

And one day he hears a cry and his two children come running out of the forest. They're being chased by a tiger.

And before he can do anything, the children run into the pond and disappear. Tiger jumps in and disappears.

And then his wife comes running up and she's very frantic and she jumps into the pond and disappears.
