This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 352 In this 334thÿÿissue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Northern Fairy Tale " HOW SAMPO LAPPELILL SAW THE MOUNTAIN KING?. ONCE upon a time, long, long ago and far, far away, in Lapland, at a place called Amo, near the River Jana, there lived, in a little hut, a Laplander and his wife, with their small son, Sampo. Sampo Lappelill was now between seven and eight years of age. He had black hair, brown eyes, a snub nose, and a wide mouth, which last is considered a mark of beauty in curious Lapland. Sampo was a strong child for his age; he delighted to dance down the hills in his little snow-shoes, and to drive his own reindeer in his own little sledge. The snow whirled about him as he passed through the deep drifts, until nothing of him could be seen except the tuft of his black forelock. "I shall never feel comfortable while he is away from home!" said the mother. "He may meet His's reindeer with the golden antlers." Sampo overheard these words, and wondered what reindeer it could be that had golden antlers. "It must be a splendid animal!" said he; "how much I should like to drive to Rastekas with it!" Rastekas is a high, dreary mountain, and can be seen from Amo, from which it is five or six miles distant. Three or four weeks after Christmas, one day, at noon ÿSampo's father said: "Come here! I have something to show you." Sampo came out of the hut. His father pointed towards the south. "Do you know what that is?" asked he. "A southern light," replied the boy. "No," said his father, "it is the herald of the sun. To-morrow, maybe, or the day after that, we shall see the sun himself. Look, Sampo, how weirdly the red light glows on the top of Rastekas!" Sampo saw that the snow upon the gloomy summit, which had been so long shrouded in darkness, was coloured red. Again the idea flashed into his mind what a grand sight the terrible Mountain King would be?from a distance of course. The boy brooded on this for the remainder of the day, and throughout half the night, when he should have been asleep. He thought, and thought, until at length he crept silently out of the reindeer skins which formed his bed, and then through the door-hole. The cold was intense. Far above him the stars were shining, the snow scrunched beneath his feet. Sampo Lappelill was a brave boy, who did not fear the cold. He was, moreover, well wrapped up in fur. He stood gazing at the stars, considering what to do next and then thought, there?s no harm in going for a drive, so he hitched up the reindeer and off he went. Did Sampo see the Sun himself and what about the Mountain King? Would the Mountain King openly welcome him into his court or would he be offended at Sampo?s presence? So, what happened next you ask?? Well many things happened, some silly and some serious.
