Book excerpt: ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 347 In this 347thÿissue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Greek Fairy Tale "THE THREE GOLDEN APPLES?. Have you ever hear of the golden apples, that grew in the garden of the Hesperides? Ah, those were such apples as would bring a great price, by the bushel, if any of them could be found growing in the orchards of nowadays! But there is not, I suppose, a graft of that wonderful fruit on a single tree in the wide world. Not so much as a seed of those apples exists any longer. And, even in the old, old, half-forgotten times, before the garden of the Hesperides was overrun with weeds, a great many people doubted whether there could be real trees that bore apples of solid gold upon their branches. All had heard of them, but nobody remembered to have seen any. Children, nevertheless, used to listen, open-mouthed, to stories of the golden apple-tree, and resolved to discover it, when they should be big enough. Adventurous young men, who desired to do a braver thing than any of their fellows, set out in quest of this fruit. Many of them returned no more; none of them brought back the apples. No wonder that they found it impossible to gather them! It is said that there was a dragon beneath the tree, with a hundred terrible heads, fifty of which were always on the watch, while the other fifty slept. But then the adventure was undertaken by a hero who had enjoyed very little peace or rest since he came into the world. At the time he was wandering through the land with a mighty club in his hand, and a bow and quiver slung across his shoulders. He was dressed in the skin of the biggest and fiercest lion that had ever been seen, and which he himself had killed; although, on the whole, he was kind, generous and noble. Even so, there was a good deal of the lion's fierceness in his heart for his name was Hercules (also known as Heracles). Everywhere he went he asked if anyone had news of the garden or if they could give directions to it. Did Hercules ever get directions to the garden of the Hesperides? Did he ever find his way there, when so many before him had failed? If he did get to the garden was he able to gain entry and did he get to pick a golden apple? So many questions??.. To find the answers to these questions, and others you may have, you will have to download and read this story to find out! ÿ BUY ANY 4 BABA INDABA CHILDREN?S STORIES FOR ONLY $1 33% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Three Golden Apples" is a story from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys." In this enchanting tale, Hawthorne retells a story from Greek mythology, specifically from the adventures of Hercules (Heracles). In the story, Hercules embarks on a quest to retrieve three golden apples from the Garden of the Hesperides. These apples are a wedding gift from Mother Earth to Juno (Hera), the queen of the gods. However, Juno is convinced that the apples are more beautiful than anything else in the world, and she doesn't want to share them with anyone. Hercules faces various challenges and encounters mythical creatures as he travels on his heroic journey. With the guidance of Athena (Minerva), he overcomes these obstacles and eventually reaches the Garden of the Hesperides. There, he meets the three beautiful nymphs who guard the apples: Hesperie, Aegle, and Arethusa. Through wit and persuasion, Hercules manages to obtain the golden apples. However, he doesn't keep them for himself; instead, he returns them to the gods, demonstrating his selflessness and virtue. Hawthorne's "The Three Golden Apples" is a tale of heroism, virtue, and the triumph of good over selfishness and greed. It's a wonderful story for both children and adults, offering a glimpse into the rich world of Greek mythology and the moral lessons it imparts.
