THE MAGIC MIRROR
A boy, called Tembo, had a tomcat for a constant companion. Once, Tembo saved a large snake which gave him a magic mirror as a reward! When Tembo commanded the mirror to give him a house, in a flash, the house was ready! Tembo went to the King and asked for his daughter’s hand. The king said: ‘If you can build a house in one minute, you can marry my daughter.’ Tembo did that! The unhappy king had to keep his word, but sent his soldiers after Tembo. Tembo tricked the soldiers, but they learnt of his magic mirror. The king sent an old woman to steal it, and again sent his soldiers. This time they took his wife back to her parents, and put Tembo with his cat in jail! The cat caught a rat, which knew where the mirror was hidden and brought it back to them. Tembo got his wife and house back, and lived happily ever after.
