A beautiful woman lived in the village of Pila.

Her name was Mimidoo.

People also called her, Beauty.

1

Mimidoo married Nator, a farmer.

Mimidoo and Nator always worked together on the farm.

2

Many rich men from the city came to the village. They wanted to take Mimidoo from Nator, her poor husband.

They came with money and many gifts.

Mimidoo rejected them.

3

One day, the king also sent his messengers.

They came with great gifts for Mimidoo.

He also sent money to Nator.

4

"Why is the king sending us gifts?" Nator asked.

"He wants to ask you two for a favor," one of the messengers replied.

"How can the king ask a favor from poor farmers?" Mimidoo asked.

5

The king invited them to the palace.

"I will give you a lot of money, if you let me marry your beautiful wife," the king told Nator.

"I want you to be my queen," he told Mimidoo.

6

Mimidoo and Nator fell on their knees.

Nator begged, "I know you can kill me and marry her. But you are a good king. I love my wife. Please, don't separate us."

"Long live the king! I love my husband. I love working on the farm. Please, don't separate us," Mimidoo pleaded.

The king was so pleased to know that he had subjects who were not greedy.

He built a mansion for them.
