In the convent he goes to hour lunch. In the summer holidays, he travelled from town. It was the summer and Don Vincent had time to travel and make some money. He arrived in Granada. One afternoon, a priest and a young maiden arrived at the Avellano Fountain. The pretty young maiden captivated Don Vincent’s heart. He tried to attract her attention but she was very timid. She did not look at him, he was very frustrated.

Chapter 2:

The priest and maiden got up to leave. As they left the square, the maiden looked back timidly at Don Vincent. Don Vincent asked the local people about the pair. ‘’Who are they?’’ he asked. ‘’Where do they live?’’, ‘’That’s Father Thomas and his servant, Emmeline’’, they told him. ‘’They live in the big house next to the mosque’’. He serenaded her at night with the guitar but Emmeline did not appear and Don Vincent despaired! On the Eve of St John, Don Vincent walked along the river and sat opposite a bridge. He watched the happy couples and felt very envious. Suddenly, The Soldier guarding the bridge go and had a shield and a sword, but nobody looked at him as they crossed the bridge.

The king asked him to build a garden and did. ’’It’s one of the most beautiful gardens in the world a paradise like the Magic Garden of Irem. I protected it with a spell and it’s invisible to normal people. It’s ready for you and the princess. At the entrance, the astrologer pointed to a mysterious hand and key on the wall. ‘’They’ll guard the entrance to this paradise until the hand takes the key from its place’’. Now, I must have my promised reward! shouted the astrologer. ‘’ The princess is the first living creature to enter the garden! She mine now. No! shouted the king. Take her white horse! Take all my treasures instead.
