Chapter 31: A Brave Christmas
At home, Finn went straight to the bathroom. At first he just got ready for bed, still hesitating whether he should do it. The principle brought back bad memories, but he used to like such things... Florian is not the only artist in the house.
Finn had a moment to hesitate. Florian was reading Gabriella a story, and she was all ears.
After the usual curious questions of course. "Daddy, why are you dressed like that?"
"Finn has another surprise for me."
"Hmm... You're going to be loud again, aren't you."
"And you have to sleep soon! Come, listen. It's called "The Six Companions."
I have permission to quote and show parts of @danjaley's "The six companions"
Once upon a time, there lived an old Queen, who was a sorceress, and her daughter, who was the most beautiful girl under the sun. But the old Queen’s only thought was destruction. Whenever a young man came and asked for her daughter’s hand, she told him, whoever wanted her daughter must solve a quest first, or he’d have to die.
Florian continued. When Gabriella heard that many princes tried and failed, she whispered that she also wanted a prince who would do everything for her, which made Florian smile.
A king’s son had heard of the Princess’ extraordinary beauty as well. “Let me go and court her”, he said to his father.
Florian went on to say that when the prince was finally allowed to do the quest, he found all sorts of special people who could help him. Like a very fat man, whose stomach was infinite.
Like an elfin man with gigantic ears that could hear everything, “Even bigger than Aunt Demi's!” Flo added.
And his brother who could see everything.
Also a very tall man who could grow many meters high, a man who always wore a blindfold because his eyes could make things explode, and a man who got cold from the heat, and hot from the cold.
"Those were the six companions."
