CHARACTERS
           Sodewa Bai – a very
            stubborn princess.
            She’s very beautiful.

           Rowjee- a prince
            which have her wife
            and child.

           Ranee – the first wife
            of Rowjee.
   Sodewa Bai was lovely and beautiful.
    When she was born, she was predicted
    to be richer than any other lady. She
    was born with a golden necklace. If it
    was taken off, she would die.
   For her fourteenth birthday, she was given
    slippers made of jewels and gold; and she
    would always wear them. One day, she
    slipped and lost a slipper while playing.
    There was a great prize for whoever found
    the slipper.
   Sodewa Bai said,"I saw that
    Prince, and I am willing to
    marry him."
 One day, the prince took the princess back to
  his home.
 One day, Rowjee Rajah had to go on a
  journey without Sodewa Bai.
   While their husband was
    away, Sodewa Bai and the
    first Ranee compared all
    their jewels and pretty
    things.
   When the first Ranee returned to her house,
    she told her most trusted servant to steal
    Sodewa Bai's necklace while she was
    sleeping and put it around her own neck.
   The next mornning, the old Rajah and Ranee
    found Sodewa Bai dead.




   Sodewa Bai would come to life whenever the
    servant would take the necklace off, which
    was when she would go to sleep.
   Two months later, Sodewa Bai had a little
    son at night. In the morning, she died again.

   The Rajah saw jewels by the tomb. He went
    to the tomb and saw Sodewa Bai alive and
    holding their child.
   The next morning, the Rajah summoned the
    whole household.




   The first Ranee was then imprisoned for life.
   The Rajah returned to the tomb and put the
    beads around his wife's neck. She came to
    life and lived happily ever after.




                              END
