The Magic Harp (England)




This is a story from England. Morgan is a man who likes to sing. Every time he has free time, he spends singing. Morgan was convinced that his voice was beautiful, but no one praised the beauty of Morgan's voice. 

One night, Morgan was relaxing in the fireplace while enjoying a cup of coffee. And he began to sing. Suddenly there was a knock on his door. Apparently there are 3 men in shabby clothes. 

"We are travelers and we run out of food, can you give us some food?" said one of his guests. 

"Oh sure, that's fine, I have a few pieces of bread and warm chocolate milk for you," Morgan said kindly. 

The three guests were actually not wanderers, but 3 fairies in disguise. They sometimes come to human homes, if they are well received then luck will come to the owner of the house. If the homeowner does not welcome him well, he will get into trouble. 

"Thank you for the meal, you are very kind’ "said one of the disguised fairies. "We want to give you a present, what do you want?" 

Morgan just smiled and said "you guys are having a hard time, I'm happy to help you guys, I'm not asking anything." 

"Come on, we want to repay your kindness," urged one of them. 

"Well, actually I really want to have a harp with a very beautiful sound, so that other people who hear it want to dance and love to hear it." 

Suddenly, a very beautiful harp came and the 3 wanders disappeared instantly. Morgan thinks that all three are angels. Morgan began to play the harp, it turns out the sound and the rhythm is very beautiful. Morgan's wife, who heard the sound of the magic harp, wanted to dance to the rhythm of the harp music. Some people who passed by Morgan's house also heard the harp's voice and wanted to dance. 

At one point, Morgan was visited by a guest who had insulted his voice. Morgan's idea arose for revenge. Morgan played the harp and the guest began dancing. 

Morgan accelerated the tempo of the song so the guest was exhausted and started screaming. The guest begged Morgan to stop playing his harp, but Morgan played the instrument so. Finally the person is not strong anymore and fainted. Morgan laughed with satisfaction in victory. His revenge is revenge. 

However, the next day, Morgan was surprised because his harp disappeared. Apparently the fairies were angry with Morghan's attitude that made other people sick. Therefore, they took the thing back.

Message from the story: do not become vengeful, reply to the bad behavior of others with kindness.
