once upon a time
far away in a little cottage there lived
a gin
he had a very beautiful garden it was
filled with trees and flowers of many
kinds
which he treated with lots of love the
gin was
very powerful and how did he get this
power
sleep he would stay awake for 18 years
and after that his eyes would start to
shut
[Music]
oh it's time already very well little
flowers
i must go and rest now but while i sleep
my magic will take care of you
and so it would fall into a deep slumber
for 18 years
the flowers in his garden loved him very
much
and felt unhappy that he was alone
he needs a friend to be with the wind
brought me news about a powerful fairy
who flies over once a year should we
pray to her
yes we should
the whole garden prayed hard so that the
fairy would hear them
what have you pretties called me for
the flowers told her that they wish
their master had a companion to live
with
it seems you really love your master
very well i will bless the gin with a
happy
child and so she created a huge
emerald egg beneath a pepper tree
it will only break when the gin wakes up
till then watch over it will goodbye
over the years the flowers patiently
watch the giant egg
until the end of the 18th year
he's awake the garden was full of
excitement
as the gin came out he was greatly
astonished at the egg that lay there
what's this suddenly the egg
started to crack and everyone waited
breathlessly
a baby how did it come here
the baby suddenly looked at him with her
green eyes
which melted the gin's heart oh
you are so precious i think i'll just
raise you here in my home
the flowers all rejoiced when they heard
this
and so the baby who is named pepperina
grew up happily as the fairy had said
she is so caring
and she sings so sweetly too
the gin and pepperina would always be
seen talking and laughing continuously
with each other
but when the 18 years were almost up
the gin started to get drowsy
oh dear if i sleep
who will take care of my sweet pepperina
while the gin was worrying about this
pepperina had wandered far into the
woods
i'm sorry but you have such a beautiful
voice that
i couldn't help stopping by my name is
lewis
i i'm pepperina the two
slowly started to talk and were soon
enchanted with each other
uh pepperina you are the most charming
girl i've ever met
would you come back to the palace with
me to become my bride
i would like that very much but
we will have to ask my father come i'll
try to convince him
when they reached louis hid between the
bushes
while pepperino went to talk to the gin
father i've something to ask you
yes my dear well when you go to sleep
for the next
18 years what will i do all alone
the gin smile dropped as he had been
fearing this question
well i've been thinking about it too and
you're old enough to find someone to
love
why don't i find you someone else
really but he will have to be
someone worthy of you someone who's
really
handsome what no
i'm meant but she wasn't listening
anymore
she clapped her hands and out of the
bushes emerged lewis
surprising the gin extremely
this is prince lewis and well
we are in love with each other isn't
that wonderful father
in love when did you even meet him
i met him a few minutes ago but at first
glance
i knew it was true love
sir i can promise you that i will always
look after your daughter
the gin was about to protest when he saw
how happy pepperina was
in lewis's arms very well
since you truly love him you have my
blessings
yay thank you so much
father after that pepperina packed up
all her belongings and traveled to the
prince's castle
waving a heartfelt goodbye to the gym
our poor master
the next morning he was struck by the
silence without her
he changed into a dove and flew to find
her
on finding the royal carriage he looked
through it and saw lewis and pepperina
talking quite happily to each other
she seems alright i worry for nothing
he flew back to his cottage and tried to
sleep
but he still wasn't happy this
is ridiculous but i'll go one last time
[Music]
this time he transformed into an eagle
he soared high and spotted the royal
carriage going through the castle gates
he saw them smile warmly at each other
[Music]
they really are in love
well now i'm reassured that she'll be a
fan without me
so the gin finally satisfied went to
sleep
now for the first few years lewis stayed
close to pepperina
but he soon got caught up with the
kingdom's administration
and at times had to leave his wife alone
since lewis was so handsome many women
had fallen in love with him
they were jealous of pepperina and would
often try to bully her
what kind of name is pepperina
i once had a doll called cinnamon
how plainly you dress the maids dress
better than you oh what does the young
prince see in
you
she would be happy when lewis returned
but when alone
the women would taunt her mercilessly
one day lewis took her into a secret
room
and showed her a beautiful sword
it's magnificent but lewis
why don't you ever take this out this
was the last gift my late father gave me
it's very special to me and i wanted you
to know of it
unfortunately neither of them knew that
someone was listening
outside the door listen
i think there's a way to throw the
princess out of the palace
yes let's do that
[Music]
the next day while wandering around the
king
saw something familiar on the ground
picking it up he was horrified to see
that it was his father's sword someone
has melted it beyond recognition
guards find me the culprit who destroyed
this sword
the guards searched and soon brought the
palace women to him
was it you who did this
no no your grace we're sorry to tell you
this
but it was princess pepperina who did it
we saw her carrying out the sword but we
didn't know why
lewis was furious more so because the
only other person who knew about his
sword
was pepperina call pepperina here
pepperino was most surprised to be
brought before lewis
my love is something wrong how dare you
ask me that
after ruining my father's sword leave
this palace at once
or pepperino was heartbroken not to
mention baffled
she tried to explain but the prince
being too shaken up by the molten sword
wouldn't listen finally pepperina
quietly
turned and left pepperino walked on
sadly towards the gin's house
hoping he would be awake by now
oh sweet little bird how lucky you are
to have wings to carry you home
but just then the bird turned into the
gin
and pepperina cried out in sorrow seeing
him
my dear daughter what happened
pepperina told him all about the sword
my dear you loved him too soon he didn't
know you enough to
understand your true nature come
let me take you home meanwhile
at the palace lewis was pacing along the
corridors heartbroken
suddenly he heard someone whispering
nearby
the silly peppery our trick
worked what trick
the women were startled and seeing
louis's raging eyes
confess to what they'd done i cannot
believe this
leave my kingdom and never set foot
inside my boundary again
oh pepperina what have i done
[Music]
lewis hurriedly set out towards the
jinn's house
until he finally reached it pepperina
my love please come out you weren't at
fault
i should have listened to you i am so
sorry lewis i'm glad you finally
know the truth and i forgive you
please come back home with me
i'm sorry lewis i've decided to stay
here with my father
only he knows me for who i am
but pam my decision is final louis
please respect it and leave
saying this she turned around and went
inside the cottage
lewis took a deep breath and sat down
i wronged you terribly i will stay here
and repent
until you realize how sorry i really am
and so he stayed and during the hot days
and cold nights the flowers fell pity
for him
and fed him with the fruits of the
garden and
the gin would look out the window daily
concerned
pepperina you should go out to him
surely by now you know how much he loves
you
but father he hurt me i won't
i can't forgive him oh bless this
stubborn child pepperina knew how much
the prince now loved her
but still salt uh-oh
looks like there's gonna be a really bad
thunderstorm tonight
what i feel so sorry for paul lewis
pepperina turned away so as to hide her
concern
just then the clouds roared with thunder
and the rain started to fall with great
strength but even then
lewis didn't move oh lewis
pepperina couldn't take it anymore and
finally ran
out she apologized earnestly to lewis
and almost immediately the storm ceased
pepperina and lewis were a little
shocked
but didn't any heat to the storm
suddenly stopping
the gin looked up at the sky and winked
nothing is more beautiful than seeing
your child happy
