  • First published: Date unknown
  • Language: Hungarian

"A csudafa" by Elek Benedek is a fictional tale written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around King Mirkó, who rules seven countries but is deeply unhappy due to his childlessness. The plot begins to unfold when Mirkó finds himself lost in a magical forest, where he meets a mysterious figure who fulfills his wish of returning home, but with unforeseen consequences related to his newborn daughter. The opening portion introduces us to Mirkó king's profound sorrow due to his initial lack of an heir, highlighting his lavish lifestyle juxtaposed with his emotional void. As he wanders through an enchanted forest, he encounters a strange being who guides him back to his palace, revealing that the long-awaited child, a daughter, has finally been born. However, this joy is overshadowed by a sinister promise made to a sorcerer, Bűbájos, who seeks to claim the princess. The protagonist's internal conflict unfolds as he realizes the impending danger to his daughter, shaping the narrative's tension and setting the stage for the unfolding adventure.
