The Brown Fairy Book What the Rose did to the Cypress -LSB- 1 -RSB- Once upon a time a great king of the East , named Saman-lalposh , -LSB- 2 -RSB- had three brave and clever sons -- Tahmasp , Qamas , and Almas-ruh-baksh . -LSB- 3 -RSB- One day , when the king was sitting in his hall of audience , his eldest son , Prince Tahmasp , came before him , and after greeting his father with due respect , said : ' O my royal father ! I am tired of the town ; if you will give me leave , I will take my servants to-morrow and will go into the country and hunt on the hill-skirts ; and when I have taken some game I will come back , at evening-prayer time . ' His father consented , and sent with him some of his own trusted servants , and also hawks , and falcons , hunting dogs , cheetahs and leopards . At the place where the prince intended to hunt he saw a most beautiful deer . He ordered that it should not be killed , but trapped or captured with a noose . The deer looked about for a place where he might escape from the ring of the beaters , and spied one unwatched close to the prince himself . It bounded high and leaped right over his head , got out of the ring , and tore like the eastern wind into the waste . The prince put spurs to his horse and pursued it ; and was soon lost to the sight of his followers . Until the world-lighting sun stood above his head in the zenith he did not take his eyes off the deer ; suddenly it disappeared behind some rising ground , and with all his search he could not find any further trace of it . He was now drenched in sweat , and he breathed with pain ; and his horse 's tongue hung from its mouth with thirst . He dismounted and toiled on , with bridle on arm , praying and casting himself on the mercy of heaven . Then his horse fell and surrendered its life to God . On and on he went across the sandy waste , weeping and with burning breast , till at length a hill rose into sight . He mustered his strength and climbed to the top , and there he found a giant tree whose foot kept firm the wrinkled earth , and whose crest touched the very heaven .
Its branches had put forth a glory of leaves , and there were grass and a spring underneath it , and flowers XXXXX many colours .
