The Strange Love Of The White Horse And The Poplar Tree

Photini Stephanidi

5/5 ( ratings)

Life begins to smile on the lone poplar tree when a farmer rides up on a proud white horse to start work in the neighbouring field. The horse is left tied to her trunk all day while its master plants his crops, and she admires his beauty. But the horse is so bored that it doesn't even lift its head to look at her. She tries to speak to him but many days go by before he realizes trees can talk.
In the end, however, a strange love springs to life between the white horse and the poplar tree, a love that seems beautiful and strange to some but ridiculous to others. 'Whoever heard of such an ill matched couple!' they say sneeringly.

After many misadventures, their friend the moon arrives one night to offer them a bag of magic gold dust that will make them both the same, so they can enjoy their love without the obstacles that now impede them. But with one voice they give him an answer that is completely unexpected.
