In India, in the mystic land of lotus, was born child Dhruba. His father was a king and mother Suniti was the chief of all queens. Yet, even being a prince, he was not so fortunate as them. A dark shadow of disaster loomed on him. Long before the birth of Dhruba, the son of one of the younger queens had been promised the throne, and the coming of the new child would undo this claim. Since the son of the principal queen was undoubtedly the king’s true heir, it is easy, therefore, to understand the anger and fear of the younger wife at the child’s birth. She was jealous of the new baby, on behalf of her own son, and did not fail to show her feelings in many ways, till at last the king, in great anxiety for their safety, ordered his wife and the little one to be exiled from the court, and sent them to live in simple cottage, on the distant edge of a huge forest.
