Peree' and the Magic Fish: Fairy Tale from Pontos

By Evangelos Tsahiridis

An inspirational story about three old friends and the challenges they overcome. As the three friends set out on a journey to find their fortunes, they must travel all day and into the evening. Along the way, they talk and laugh and share memories that had long been forgotten. The sun is nearly setting behind the mountains in the distance when they finally arrive in the city where they plan to find their fortunes.
One by one, each of the friends discovers the thing that will help them to realize their fortunes. When the third and last friend, Androkles, discovers his destiny, he is pleased and knows that he will have a good life. One day he discovers Peree', a magical figure, who is destined to provide guidance to the one she loves against a tyrannical King. When he is betrayed by someone close to him, she shows him how to master each of the challenges that are presented to him by the King, with the help of her loving family.
Peree' and the Magic Fish is a charming tale of the beauty of true love that illustrates the meaning of goodness and the love of family.

Prologue

Dedication to My Father

This fairy tale is dedicated to my father Pantelis Tsahiridis. My father told this story to me many many times between the ages of eight to fifteen. His Father Michael had told it to him and his Grand Father Savvas who lived to be one-hundred and twenty-nine years of age had told it to his Father. My father’s Grand Father Savvas" was an educated man and he was also a musician. He played the Kementzen (Lyra) a Pontian instrument. He lived near the Black Sea Euxinos Pontos.

Pontos in ancient Greek means Sea and Euxinos means Friendly. Pontos was a City State of Greece, like Rhodes, Sparta and Macedonia for example. This country of long ago named Pontos was the name of the Northeastern Province
