One fine morning, in those days of long and long ago, a beautiful baby, the son of a still more beautiful princess, was born in a little room at the top of a high tower built of brass.
That was a strange birthplace for a prince, you will think, but the fact is that the whole matter was a close secret. The poor princess had been shut up in the tower for months, just because her father, the king, did not want her to get married. He had been told that someday he would be killed by his own grandson, so he decided that the best way to avoid this would be not to allow his only daughter to be married so that then he would never have any grandchildren at all.
