El Maravilloso Mago de Oz
Capítulo 14, Página 6
“That
is
a
long
story,”
answered
the
King,
with
a
winged
laugh;
“but
as
we
have
a
long
journey
before
us,
I
will
pass
the
time
by
telling
you
about
it,
if
you
wish.”
“I
shall
be
glad
to
hear
it,”
she
replied.
“Once,”
began
the
leader,
“we
were
a
free
people,
living
happily
in
the
great
forest,
flying
from
tree
to
tree,
eating
nuts
and
fruit,
and
doing
just
as
we
pleased
without
calling
anybody
master.
Perhaps
some
of
us
were
rather
too
full
of
mischief
at
times,
flying
down
to
pull
the
tails
of
the
animals
that
had
no
wings,
chasing
birds,
and
throwing
nuts
at
the
people
who
walked
in
the
forest.
But
we
were
careless
and
happy
and
full
of
fun,
and
enjoyed
every
minute
of
the
day.
This
was
many
years
ago,
long
before
Oz
came
out
of
the
clouds
to
rule
over
this
land.
“There
lived
here
then,
away
at
the
North,
a
beautiful
princess,
who
was
also
a
powerful
sorceress.
All
her
magic
was
used
to
help
the
people,
and
she
was
never
known
to
hurt
anyone
who
was
good.
Her
name
was
Gayelette,
and
she
lived
in
a
handsome
palace
built
from
great
blocks
of
ruby.
Everyone
loved
her,
but
her
greatest
sorrow
was
that
she
could
find
no
one
to
love
in
return,
since
all
the
men
were
much
too
stupid
and
ugly
to
mate
with
one
so
beautiful
and
wise.
At
last,
however,
she
found
a
boy
who
was
handsome
and
manly
and
wise
beyond
his
years.
Gayelette
made
up
her
mind
that
when
he
grew
to
be
a
man
she
would
make
him
her
husband,
so
she
took
him
to
her
ruby
palace
and
used
all
her
magic
powers
to
make
him
as
strong
and
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,
while
his
manly
beauty
was
so
great
that
Gayelette
loved
him
dearly,
and
hastened
to
make
everything
ready
for
the
wedding.
“My
grandfather
was
at
that
time
the
King
of
the
Winged
Monkeys
which
lived
in
the
forest
near
Gayelette’s
palace,
and
the
old
fellow
loved
a
joke
better
than
a
good
dinner.
One
day,
just
before
the
wedding,
my
grandfather
was
flying
out
with
his
band
when
he
saw
Quelala
walking
beside
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
and
seized
Quelala,
carried
him
in
their
arms
until
they
were
over
the
middle
of
the
river,
and
then
dropped
him
into
the
water.
“‘Swim
out,
my
fine
fellow,’
cried
my
grandfather,
‘and
see
if
the
water
has
spotted
your
clothes.’
Quelala
was
much
too
wise
not
to
swim,
and
he
was
not
in
the
least
spoiled
by
all
his
good
fortune.
He
laughed,
when
he
came
to
the
top
of
the
water,
and
swam
in
to
shore.
But
when
Gayelette
came
running
out
to
him
she
found
his
silks
and
velvet
all
ruined
by
the
river.
