The Werewolf

A Swedish folk tale.

In a faraway kingdom lived a king who loved his daughter immensely. After the queen's death, the princess's maid—flattering but cruel—managed to marry the king and became the new queen. The princess grew into a beautiful, kind girl whose beauty and nobility captivated the heart of a young prince. But the envious stepmother, hiding her malice behind a mask of friendliness, decided to destroy the happiness of the lovers at all costs.
