S2 E15 - Princess on the Glass Hill - Part 2 of 2

Listen HERE

The King told everyone in the kingdom about the contest. Ash and his two brothers also heard about it. The two brothers joined the contest, but they told Ash to stay home. They said Ash wouldn't be able to do it. So the brothers left home. But Ash really wanted to join the contest. So he left home too. 

On the day of the contest, there was a big crowd riding horses. Everyone tried to go up the hill of glass. But only one horse could run up the hill. On the horse was a knight covered in armor. So no one could see who it was. The armor was very shiny and the horse ran so fast. 

The Princess was very impressed. When the knight arrived at the top of the hill, the Princess threw a golden apple to him. The knight rode the horse down the hill with the golden apple. That evening, the King invited everyone to a party to meet the winner who had the golden apple. But the knight was not at the party. No one could find him. So everyone went home. 

At home, Ash’s two brothers told Ash about the knight. They said he was wearing shiny armor and his horse rode so fast. The next day, the brothers joined the contest again. But they didn’t allow Ash to go with them to the contest. Again, everyone tried to ride their horses up the hill of glass. But the glass hill was too slippery. 

Only one horse ran up the hill. On the horse was the knight in armor! He quickly rode up the hill. Then he stopped his horse in front of the Princess. She was very impressed with his skill. She threw the second golden apple to him. And the knight rode his horse back down the hill. But then he disappeared. No one could find him. 

So the King continued the contest to the third day. Again, Ash’s brothers went to the contest. Everyone tried to ride their horses up the hill. Still, they could not do it. Only the knight in shiny armor rode his horse up the glass hill. The Princess gave the knight the last golden apple. Then the knight rode his horse away quickly. 

The King asked, “Where is the knight in shining armor?” But no one could find him. So the King called everyone in the kingdom to the castle. He asked each one if they had one of the three golden apples. But no one did. Finally, the King asked Ash’s two brothers. They told the King their younger brother Ash was still at home. The King said, “You must bring him to the castle!” The brothers laughed. The brothers could not believe Ash had one of the golden apples. 

So Ash went to the castle. The King asked Ash, “Do you have a golden apple?” Ash said, “Yes, I have three golden apples.” Then the King and the Princess were so happy. They had found the knight in shiny armor. The King held a big party for Ash. And Ash became a Prince. The end.
