Once upon a time…, there was no one other than God. In ancient times there were two brothers each one being king in a separate city. The older brother, or in other words the first king, had three daughters, and the younger brother had a son. When the son of the second king became adult his father (the second king) went to woo the oldest daughter of his brother and at last they married. There were seven nights and seven days celebration for this marriage and at the seventh night they espoused the girl. The bride and bridegroom were together in a duration, but the boy did not have inclination to his wife and went outside the palace at morning and did not come back even at night. His wife got angry and first she began to nag, and when she saw it was useless went to her father and complained of her husband. The first king took the divorce of her daughter and said there was no problem and now that his brother's son did not kike his first daughter he would give him his middle daughter. They again held a big wedding and the wife and husband went to their home to live together.
But the situation of this daughter was not better than her older sister and after a few days the boy again began the same his past behavior and every night came home late or did came not at all. The first king took the divorce of her daughter. After some time the boy's father said that probably his son did not like this girl too, and if he married the youngest daughter of his brother his life would be probable to be settled.
So, he went to the city where his brother was king and requested his brother to give his youngest daughter to the son of himself, and explained that because she was the cleverest and the most beautiful daughter of him, it would be most probable that she could conduct him. The father accepted too. They held seven nights and seven days wedding celebration and they brought the girl with glory to the palace of the second king. But there occurred no difference in the behavior of the boy, and the condition of this girl was like the ones of her sisters. But this girl was very clever and did not want her sisters who had encountered similar problems knew her problem. So, whenever her sisters asked her about the behavior of her husband with her, she said they had a very happy common life all the nights and days. When the sisters heard such an answer from her, they envied her. This was the case until when the smallest sister arranged a big party and invited both of her sisters too. She had a sly personality. So, she went upstairs and tore her dress completely while she had worn it and returned back to her sisters. Her sisters asked her about what happened on her dress. She answered with swank that her husband had torn her dress. The trick of the girl was successful and the sisters believed she was right. The girl was also glad that she could deceive her sisters.
But the sisters did not sit idle and this time sent a woman with a piece of jewelry to their sister to sell her that jewelry in order that they understood whether or not really her husband loved her and whether or not their sister was lying. If the king's son lover her she would buy that jewelry. The messenger came and said that her sisters had given that in order she bought it. The girl took it and said OK, and that at night, when her husband came, she would show it to him in order that if he would like it he would buy it, and wanted the messenger come the next day for probable taking of its price. The messenger went.
The girl had made a silver candlestick and a gold candlestick and whenever she wanted to speak with her husband said toward the candlestick and received also the answer from the candlestick. When at the beginning of night the boy returned back to the palace, the girl put the gold and silver candlesticks in front of herself and said them: "I'm saying to door, but o wall you listen! O gold candlestick, o silver candlestick, o my dear cousin, I am talking with you. My sisters have sent a piece of jewelry in order that you buy it for me." The cousin answered using the same gold and silver candlesticks: " O gold candlestick, o silver candlestick, o my dear cousin, as I said you already, I don't hesitate to spend for you. How much do you need? The money is in the box. Go and take it and give them."
At the morning the messenger returned back. The girl gave her the price of the jewelry in addition to a gratuity for herself, and then the messenger went.
The sisters saw but did not believe. The said themselves that they should do another work. After passing some days they again acted out. This time they gave a diamond necklace to the same messenger and sent her to their sister. The messenger came and said the girl that her sisters had sent the necklace that she bought it.
The girl this time went to the house and threw her into the pool and dripping wet came back and said how his cosine was unfair when he threw her into the pool as a fun, and now she was not in suitable situation and at night she would show it to him, and the next day the messenger could come to tale its news. The messenger went and told what she had heard to the sisters. They envied so much.
At the beginning of night the husband returned back to the palace to change his clothes in order to go again. Again the girl put the candlesticks in front of herself and said: "O gold candlestick, o silver candlestick, o my dear cousin, I am talking with you. My sisters have sent a necklace in order that you buy it for me." The cousin answered using the same gold and silver candlesticks: " O gold candlestick, o silver candlestick, o my dear cousin, as I said you already, I don't hesitate to spend for you. How much do you need? The money is in the box. Go and take it and give them."
At the next day the messenger came and took the money and went. When the sisters saw the money became very jealous. They were watching that their cousin had so ashamed them and furthermore now their sister had become his favorite. They could not tolerate such a huge jealousy.
After passing some days from this story, at an early morning the girl got up and went to the garden to walk in order to recreate herself. She was holding a sour orange and was playing with it that suddenly it fell and rolled to the wall and stopped at a hole. When the girl was picking it up she noticed existence of a gate close to the hole. She removed the soil on the gate and opened it. By entering it, she arrived at a basement. There she saw a very big garden. The weather there was wonderful with all its beautiful flowers and trees. There was like paradise garden. She went further and saw there was a big throne on which a man and a woman had slept. She went ahead and saw her cousin, that was her husband, had slept with a beautiful woman and sun was shining on their faces through the branches. She took pity on both of them, so she opened her veil and hung it over them as sunshade without awakening them. Afterwards, she walked more in the garden and then went out of it and closed the gate.

The husband of the girl and that woman who had slept beside him, that was the daughter of the king of fairies, woke up and saw there was a sunshade above them. When they looked carefully at it they distinguished it as a brocade veil. The daughter of the king of fairies asked the prince: "Who has come here? Whose veil do you think this is?" The king's son peered and noticed that it was the veil of his wife. At first he did not want to say this fact, but at last he said: "This vein belongs to my wife. This wife was also due to the urge of my father. Since I loved you, I divorced two of my cousins beforehand. This last one was given me compulsorily by my father. She is humble and modest. She has come here and has seen we have been asleep while sun light being on our faces, so she has opened her veil and has hung it over us."
As soon as the daughter of the king of fairies saw this magnanimity of the boy's wife, she was satisfied no longer to her suffering, and compelled the king's son to continue his common life with his wife, and said to him: "Whenever you wanted me, I immediately would appear for you. Go and live with your cousin. Don't think that I am upset from you. I love you forever. But God does not like the way you treat your uncle's daughter." The king's son also pitied the girl, and returned back to the palace fast, and since he so like this behavior of the girl, he ashamed of his previous behavior and of goodness and placidity of the girl and apologized her, and held seven nights and seven days celebration and continued a happy common life together. We also ate the rice of their wedding celebration, you were missed. But the sisters had become so sulky from such a kismet and the oldest sister who was very jealous fainted and died from grief.
