El Maravilloso Mago de Oz
Capítulo 14, Página 6
“That
is
a
long
story,”
answered
the
King,
with
a
winged
laugh.
“But
since
we
have
a
long
journey
ahead,
I
will
tell
you
about
it
if
you
wish.”
“I
would
be
glad
to
hear
it,”
she
replied.
“Once,”
began
the
leader,
“we
were
free,
living
happily
in
the
great
forest,
flying
from
tree
to
tree,
eating
nuts
and
fruit,
and
doing
as
we
pleased
without
a
master.
Some
of
us
were
a
bit
too
mischievous
at
times,
flying
down
to
pull
the
tails
of
animals
without
wings,
chasing
birds,
and
throwing
nuts
at
people
walking
in
the
forest.
But
we
were
carefree
and
happy,
enjoying
every
minute
of
the
day.
This
was
many
years
ago,
long
before
Oz
came
out
of
the
clouds
to
rule
this
land.
“There
was
a
beautiful
princess
living
in
the
North,
who
was
also
a
powerful
sorceress.
She
used
her
magic
to
help
people
and
never
hurt
anyone
who
was
good.
Her
name
was
Gayelette,
and
she
lived
in
a
beautiful
palace
made
from
great
blocks
of
ruby.
Everyone
loved
her,
but
her
biggest
sadness
was
that
she
couldn’t
find
anyone
to
love
in
return,
as
all
the
men
were
too
stupid
and
ugly
for
someone
so
beautiful
and
wise.
At
last,
she
found
a
boy
who
was
handsome,
manly,
and
wise
beyond
his
years.
Gayelette
decided
that
when
he
grew
up,
she
would
make
him
her
husband.
So
she
took
him
to
her
ruby
palace
and
used
all
her
magic
to
make
him
as
strong,
good,
and
lovely
as
any
woman
could
wish.
When
he
grew
to
manhood,
Quelala,
as
he
was
called,
was
said
to
be
the
best
and
wisest
man
in
all
the
land,
and
his
manly
beauty
was
so
great
that
Gayelette
loved
him
dearly
and
hurried
to
prepare
for
the
wedding.
“My
grandfather
was
the
King
of
the
Winged
Monkeys
living
near
Gayelette’s
palace,
and
he
loved
a
joke
more
than
a
good
dinner.
One
day,
just
before
the
wedding,
my
grandfather
was
flying
out
with
his
band
when
he
saw
Quelala
walking
by
the
river.
He
was
dressed
in
a
rich
costume
of
pink
silk
and
purple
velvet,
and
my
grandfather
thought
he
would
see
what
he
could
do.
At
his
word,
the
band
flew
down,
grabbed
Quelala,
carried
him
in
their
arms
over
the
middle
of
the
river,
and
dropped
him
into
the
water.
“‘Swim
out,
my
fine
fellow,’
cried
my
grandfather,
‘and
see
if
the
water
has
spotted
your
clothes.’
Quelala
was
too
wise
not
to
swim,
and
he
wasn’t
spoiled
by
his
good
fortune.
He
laughed
when
he
came
to
the
top
of
the
water
and
swam
to
shore.
But
when
Gayelette
came
running
to
him,
she
found
his
silks
and
velvet
all
ruined
by
the
river.
