Fairy Tales, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Fairy Tales, Vol. 1

My dear, she said, I had rather you never went out at all except in the close carriage; it is of such importance that you should keep your milk-white complexion; but, as you are so fond of playing with the Prince, you may go with him out of doors when the sun is not shining: even then you must take care to keep under the trees, and have your sun-bonnet and large parasol.

Chang-quee, the son of theE mperor of China, was once on a visit to King Khosroes, who was the King of Persia. The King of Persia had a daughter, the Princess Fairhairina, whose hair glittered like gold, and whose skin was as white as milk. Both the Prince and Princess were very young, and they used to play together. The Princess sgoverness, theL ady Straightlace, used to tell her she must never play with the Prince in the sunshine, lest she should get sunburnt. My dear, she said, I had rather you never went out at all except in the close carriage; it is of such importance that you should keep your milk-white complexion ;but, as you are so fond of playing with the Prince, you may go with him out of doors when the sun is not shining: even then you must take care to keep under the trees, and have your sun-bonnet and large parasol.
