The Blue Light A Fairy Tale – Let’s Read

Once upon a time, a weary soldier wandered through a dense, dark forest, cast out from his kingdom without a coin or friend.

He’d been a loyal servant to the king, but in his old age, he was dismissed without honour.

Hungry and exhausted, he trudged along, hoping for shelter, when he saw a faint light flickering in the distance.

The light led him to a small, humble hut. As he knocked, an old woman opened the door.

Her hair was white, her eyes sharp and piercing. She looked the soldier up and down and asked, “What brings you here, stranger?”

“I seek food and shelter, if you could spare it,” he replied.

The woman nodded, and with a mysterious smile, she invited him in.

After offering him a bowl of soup and a blanket by the fire, she said, “I’ll give you a bed and food, but in exchange, I ask for your help. Deep in my garden lies a dry well.

At the bottom, there’s something of great value to me—a blue light. Retrieve it, and I’ll reward you handsomely.”

The soldier, grateful and intrigued, agreed. Early the next morning, the woman led him to the well, handing him a sturdy rope to descend into the darkness.

Down he went, farther than he’d imagined, until his feet finally touched the ground.

The well was cold and damp, yet he found a small, old lantern flickering with an otherworldly blue light.

Its glow was mesmerizing, casting strange shadows on the walls. He wrapped the light carefully and called up to the old woman.

“Hand me the light first,” she demanded, her voice now shrill and sharp.

The soldier paused. Suspicion pricked his heart, and he sensed her greed. Refusing to trust her, he held tight to the blue light, gripping it in his calloused hands.

Angered, the woman cut the rope, leaving him stranded at the bottom of the well.

Despair weighed on him as he looked around the darkness, the blue light the only comfort. He sighed, wishing aloud, “If only I could find a way out.”

Suddenly, a small, cloaked figure materialized beside him, a strange being with a sly grin and glowing eyes.

“Master of the blue light, I am here to serve. Tell me your wish, and I will grant it.”

Amazed, the soldier asked the spirit to carry him out of the well. In an instant, he found himself back above ground, free and safe.

Quote of the Day

In the darkness of betrayal, a single light can reveal the path to justice and honour.

With a newfound sense of purpose, he asked the spirit to lead him to the capital. There, he would seek justice from the king who had dismissed him so cruelly.

Under the cover of night, the spirit whisked him to the palace, slipping him past the guards like a shadow.

Once inside, the soldier commanded the spirit to bring the king before him, asleep and unaware. The spirit returned with the king in tow, still wrapped in his nightgown, his eyes wide with fear and confusion.

“Why did you abandon me after years of loyal service?” the soldier asked, his voice steady and strong.

The king, trembling, could only stammer apologies, but the soldier wasn’t finished. “I want what is fair. Grant me the wealth and land I am due.”

With a nod, the spirit conjured treasures beyond imagining—glistening jewels, chests of gold, and lands richer than any the soldier had seen.

Content, the soldier released the king, allowing him to return to his chambers.

In the days that followed, the soldier’s life transformed. With the wealth and respect he had earned, he lived in peace and comfort, treating all his subjects fairly.

The blue light, his most loyal companion, remained by his side. And though he never misused its power, he knew that its spirit would always answer his call, as faithfully as he had once served his king.

Thus, he lived out his days, no longer a weary soldier but a wise and kind lord, with the blue light ever shining to guide and protect him.
