Maria da Conceição Vicente; Illustration: Rui Castro

Of the ten princesses who vied for the love of a prince, seducing him with their music, nine remain enchanted on stones in the riverbed, eternally playing their instruments, as punishment for having treated their younger sister with arrogance and envy; a young man leaves home and family to marry a young inhabitant of a mysterious village, who appears on the banks of the river once a year, on the night of the summer solstice; A wolf tries to trick a sheepdog into devouring it for dinner, but falls into a pond, victim of a trap set by the dog, with the help of the trees in the forest.

These are the three stories told by a grandfather who knows the secrets of the river, the rocks, the trees… to a grandson who is curious and attentive to the voices of Nature.
