This is a fairytale of two brothers: one fat and nasty, the other handsome and sweet. Their wicked greedy mother favors the older nasty son, and they both are cruel to young Jason. But one day, while fetching water from a fountain located at a distance, he has a magic encounter that leaves him remarkably changed.

Later in the story, a lonely prince meets him and is charmed by his boyish beauty and sweetness, and his new magic power.

In my youth, and even today, I love the fantasy and magic of fairytales, and I grew up longing for a Prince Charming of my own one day. Of course, being a little boy back then, I imagined myself in the role of a princess, as that seemed like the only option. But happily, times have changed, and I can be a prince and have a prince…so, I have adapted some classic fairytales for other like-minded boys (and girls) to enjoy.

This fairytale was freely and gayly adapted from a story by Charles Perrault.
