In one village, there lived a man named Morgan. Morgan lives in the same house with his wife. Their life is quite happy. Morgan has a hobby of singing. However, many people say that Morgan's voice is ugly. This sometimes makes Morgan insecure about his singing voice.
When night fell, Morgan was sitting casually by the fire. He drank a cup of coffee while occasionally humming. Not long after, he was visited by three guests. Morgan's guests were 3 men. They are a nomad. Morgan invited his guest in. It turned out that the three travelers had run out of food supplies.
“Mr. Morgan, we are running out of food supplies. Will you give some food to us who are starving?" they asked.
"Of course I will. You are my guests after all. Incidentally, I have bread and warm chocolate milk that you can eat, "said Morgan.
The three travelers looked pleased. They were very grateful for Morgan's kindness that night.
“We are very pleased to be hosted by you, dear Mr. Morgan. How do we repay you? " asked one of them.
"Ah, no need. I am happy to entertain you, especially when you are in financial shortage,” said Morgan.
"Come on, Mr. Morgan, please state your wish," they insisted.
"Well, actually I have a wish," Morgan said dreamily.
"What is that desire?" asked one of the travelers.
Morgan continued his wish, "I want to have a magic harp that when I play, everyone becomes dancing and happy to hear it."
"Well if that's your wish, we'll grant it," said one of the travelers.
Suddenly, the harp came and the three wanderers disappeared. Morgan was surprised by what he experienced. A beautiful harp was before him. It turned out that the three travelers were fairies. They will come to someone's house. If they are well received by someone, then luck will come to the owner of the house. However, if they are received in a way that is not good or unpleasant, the owner of the house will undoubtedly get into trouble.
“Wow, this harp is really beautiful, they must be three angels who repay my kindness! This harp must have a lovely voice too,” muttered Morgan as he watched the magic harp.
Morgan ended up playing the magic harp. It sounds so beautiful. He started singing while playing the harp. Suddenly Morgan's wife came and wanted to dance. She was very interested in the music of the magic harp. They finally danced together to the sound of the magic harp.
Before long, people passing by Morgan's house heard the beautiful sound of the harp. They finally joined the dance. Morgan's neighbors also went out of the house. Morgan and his wife moved to the front yard to dance with their neighbors. The atmosphere at that time was very pleasant.
The next day, Morgan was visited by a guest who had insulted his voice. He and Morgan were drinking a cup of coffee while joking. However, Morgan still has a grudge against people who mock her voice.
"Now, when you hear me sing on the harp, you will no longer be able to make fun of my voice," Morgan said.
"Ah no way, your voice must be the same as your old voice," explained the guest Morgan.
Morgan, who listened to the explanation from his guest, immediately wanted revenge. He immediately took his magic harp, then played the harp while singing. Hearing this, the guest finally danced after listening to the sound of the harp.
However, Morgan accelerated the tempo of his harp, so that the guest became overwhelmed and started screaming. The guest was tired of dancing because he followed the tempo of the song from Morgan's harp. Morgan didn't stop playing the instrument. Morgan actually laughed with joy seeing his guest who was tired of dancing. The guest couldn't stop dancing, he kept dancing and dancing. He couldn't stop his body from dancing, even though the guest begged Morgan to stop playing the harp. Finally the guest limp helplessly, his face pale with sweat pouring down, he finally fell unconscious. Morgan finally laughed out loud because his revenge had been repaid.
In the morning, Morgan was surprised that the magic harp he had just had was not there. Morgan continues to search for his lost harp, but still can't be found. Apparently the three fairies who gave Morgan a harp took back what they had given them. They were very angry with what Morgan had done to his guest. Morgan's guest becomes unconscious and falls ill as a result of Morgan's actions. Now Morgan doesn't have that magic harp back.
Such is the story of The Magic Harp, a folk tale from England. I hope this story is useful. The lesson that we can take from this story is that we must be good people, bad should be rewarded with kindness. Don't be a vengeful human, because we will get bad rewards.
