As he went through the forest, he came upon an old woman struggling with a bundle of firewood much too heavy for her to carry.
Emlys hastened to help the woman. He insisted on taking it all the way to her house, which was a small hut in the woods. The woman was very grateful, and when Emlys was leaving, she said, "Your kindness will do you some good someday".
Thank you for your kind words, Emlys said and hurried off.
When he got to the palace, the guards spoke to him gruffly. What on earth can someone like you want here? you better run along.
I am here to see the king, Emlys replied firmly. The king? the men laughed, soon goats and sheep will want to see the king!. My father asked me to see him.
Your father! and who may your father be?
Emlys told them, and they exclaimed. So, you are the Son of that amazing gardener?
Yes, Emylys glowed with pride. yes, yes, yes!
Well, you had better come along, one of the guards escorted him to the palace. Soon Emylys was before the king. and he told the king what had happened to his father.
