The Water Palace This fairy tale comes from Poland.
It is a story about an unhappy marriage between a Princess and a king.
The only pleasure she derives is the "water palace" which the
king owns. Dreams lead the king to distrust the princess who escapes one
day to the water palace only to be followed by the king's men with evil
intent. As she runs into the water she is enveloped while the king's men
die as they follow. Such symbols like the arrows that are used to awaken
her resemble tales throughout history like Cupid and Psyche.
