In this 403rd issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Fairy Tale "THE THREE CROWNS”.

There was once a king who had three daughters. The two eldest were very proud and quarrelsome, but the youngest was as good as they were bad.

Three princes came to court them, and two of them were exactly like the eldest ladies, and one was just as lovable as the youngest.
One day they were all walking down to a lake that lay at the bottom of the lawn when they met a poor beggar. The king wouldn't give him anything, and the eldest princesses wouldn't give him anything, nor their sweethearts; but the youngest daughter and her true love did give him something, and kind words along with it, and that was better than all.

Well, what happened next you ask…? Well many things happened. There were some strange, some silly and some serious occurrences. But exactly what were they? To find the answers to these questions, and others you may have, you will have to download and read this story to find out!
