00:00
New Year's Day in Persia was the most celebrated day of the year.
00:28
All shows were prepared to entertain the king and the prince.
00:33
At the end of the program, a lone figure stood before the king with a beautiful horse.
00:38
Your Majesty, I beg thee, look upon this wondrous animal.
00:42
It is not real, but an ingenious machine that will carry me anywhere I wish, just by turning
00:48
a peg.
00:49
Well, if true, it is indeed a wonderful animal.
00:52
What is the price?
00:53
It is not for sale, sire, but I would exchange it for a portion of your kingdom.
00:58
Well, for such a trade, I must know more about this horse.
01:02
My son, Prince Prama, will test the animal for me.
01:05
The owner started to show the prince how to control the horse.
01:08
But before he could tell him all, Prince Prama turned the peg, and away he flew.
01:13
He doesn't know how to bring it back.
01:16
It's a trick to kidnap the prince.
01:17
Throw this man in jail until my son returns.
01:21
As the horse's owner was taken away, the king scanned the skies for the flying prince, but
01:26
he was out of sight.
01:28
High above the clouds flew the enchanted horse with the frightened prince.
01:33
He traveled hundreds of miles, but he couldn't control the animal.
01:38
He twisted the peg, but the horse continued to fly upward and onward.
01:44
At last he found a small knob behind the animal's ear.
01:47
He gave it a turn, and the enchanted horse started to descend.
01:51
As he came closer to earth, the prince saw he was in a strange kingdom.
01:56
I will be in danger if I'm found, but I can't control the horse.
02:01
The amazing animal carried Prince Prama toward a palace courtyard.
02:05
After I land, I'll turn the peg, and maybe it will fly away again, perhaps right back
02:10
to my own country.
02:12
So intent was the prince on the controls that he didn't watch the archway through which
02:17
the horse flew.
02:19
He was knocked off the horse into a courtyard.
02:23
No one saw him, and while everyone crowded about the mysterious horse, Prince Prama hid
02:28
in a room.
02:29
After studying the horse, the king gave out an order.
02:33
This is a most unusual animal.
02:35
I shall give it as a gift to Princess Serena.
02:39
Perhaps then she'll be my bride.
02:41
Take the animal to the stable until I'm ready to give it to her.
02:44
Prince Prama could hear the king's orders, and now he realized his chance of escaping
02:48
was gone.
02:51
Then he heard someone sobbing.
02:53
He discovered that he was in the room of Princess Serena.
02:57
She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
03:00
She looked up and saw the prince staring at her.
03:03
Who are you?
03:04
I'm Prince Prama.
03:06
I come from far away.
03:08
Don't let them know I'm here.
03:10
Oh, did my father send you to rescue me from King Agmir?
03:13
No, but perhaps I can help.
03:16
Tell me how you came to this place.
03:18
Princess Serena then told Prince Prama the story of how she was captured by the powerful
03:22
King Agmir.
03:23
She must marry him or be put to death.
03:26
I have an idea.
03:28
If you pretend to be ill, the king will have to postpone any decision until you're well.
03:34
I'll hide out in the city and return when the time is right.
03:38
The princess agreed, and she acted as if she were in a trance.
03:43
And soon the whole palace was alarmed.
03:46
The prince had got to the king about her illness.
03:48
Send for the best doctors in the kingdom.
03:50
Each doctor who came tried to cure the young girl, and each failed.
03:56
King Agmir sent out a call to physicians from other lands.
04:00
One day, a strange doctor came to the palace.
04:03
I can cure the princess, but I must attend her alone.
04:08
When the doctor was alone in the sick girl's room, he spoke to her.
04:12
Princess Serena, arise, for it is time for us to leave.
04:17
Prince Prama, it is you?
04:19
Yes, Serena.
04:20
But we must play the game for a while yet.
04:23
Now we will see the king.
04:25
Sire, you see she is almost cured already.
04:28
Now some special unusual gift from you may complete the treatment.
04:34
How fortunate.
04:35
I have been saving a most unique horse to give to the princess.
04:39
So the enchanted horse was brought to the palace.
04:42
It's beautiful.
04:44
May I sit in the saddle?
04:46
Of course, my dear, it's yours.
04:48
Prince Prama helped Princess Serena up on the horse.
04:51
Then he turned to the king.
04:53
You see, sire, she is cured.
04:56
Now for my fee.
04:57
Of course, good doctor.
04:59
What is your wish?
05:00
I wish the princess myself.
05:03
He jumped behind Serena.
05:04
Never.
05:05
She is mine.
05:06
Guards, seize him.
05:08
But the guards gaped in wonder as the horse rose from the floor.
05:12
And soared away.
05:15
Out over the fields and mountains the prince and princess flew.
05:20
After many hours, Prince Prama looked below and saw the palace of his father.
05:24
The enchanted horse had brought them home.
05:28
The king was delighted to see his lost son and welcomed the princess.
05:32
Prince Prama told his father that Serena had consented to be his bride.
05:37
The happy king released the owner of the horse and granted him a part of the kingdom
05:42
in exchange for the animal.
05:44
Later when Prince Prama and Princess Serena were married, the king gave them the mechanical
05:49
animal as a wedding gift.
05:51
The young people rode away to have many more wonderful adventures with the enchanted horse.
