A
long time ago, somewhere in Italy, there was a King, whose daughter disappeared
one day. Many already searched for her the lands near and far. So the King
announced that whoever finds his daughter will be rewarded with her hand in
marriage. Unfortunately, nobody came forward since the lands were already
searched and nobody was able to find her.
However,
one courageous sailor realized if she is not on the land, then maybe she’s somewhere
on the sea. He knew of the most beautiful blue grotto on the island of Capri.
The sunrays shine through the seawater creating the most magnificent blue
reflection. The results are breath-taking, the cave illuminates in blue.
Therefore, the cave was named a blue grotto.
Not
wasting any time, he sailed the following morning. As soon as he got to the
grotto, he saw the most beautiful girl tied up. “Are you the King’s daughter”
asked the sailor even though he could tell it was her. “Yes” she replied. “How
did you end up in this cave?” he asked. “I was kidnapped by a monstrous-size
octopus, which changes into a red fish for a couple hours each day and this is
your chance to catch him” explained the princess. “Don’t worry” said the sailor
“I know how to fish.”
The
sailor waited by the grotto for the octopus. Suddenly, a huge octopus emerged
from the sea. He was as big as the island, shadowing it. However, the hour came,
when octopus had to change into a fish. The sailor set his fishing nets and
when the net became heavy, he pulled it up. The net was full of fish different
sizes and colors, and there, at the bottom of the net, was a red fish. He
killed it immediately and freed the King’s daughter.
Joyful
princess was reunited with his father and the sailor married the beautiful
princess and lived happily ever after.
