As happy as the king had been, he now became just as unhappy. He was afraid and filled with doubt. He suspected that the queen might destroy his first-born children by some wicked means. He decided that he must make sure his children were safe.
Secretly, the king called Prince Goodspeaker and Prince Moon to him. He told them of the queens dangerous desire. He sadly said that the only safe thing for them to do was to leave the kingdom. They should return only after their fathers death, and take their rightful places ruling the kingdom. The two obedient princes accepted their fathers order and prepared toleave.
In a few days they were ready. They said their sadgood-byes to their father and friends, and left the palace. On their way through the royal gardens, they came upon Prince Sun. He had always been very affectionate and friendly towards his two older half-brothers. He was upset to hear that they were leaving for a very long time. So he decided that he too would leave the kingdom. The three friendly princes departed together.
For several months they traveled, until they reached the forest country of the mighty Himalayas. They were very tired and sat down under a tree. The oldest brother, Prince Goodspeaker, said to the youngest, Prince Sun, Please go down to the nearby lake and fill some lotus leaves with water. Bring them back here so we all can drink.
