King Lear was the king of England. He ruled his
kingdom with his three daughters. His three daughters
were Goneril, Regan and
Cordelia. King Lear was getting
old and he decided to share his kingdom with his three
daughters.
One day King Lear called all his daughters
and said, “Now tell me dears how much do you love
me?”. Goneril said, “Sir you are my eyesight. No
child has loved more than I love you”. Regan
said, “I love you so much”. King Lear said, “Now it's
your chance Cordelia to share your love”.
Cordelia was very honest. She said, “I
love you as I should neither more nor less”. King Lear said, “If
this is the truth you will get nothing
from me. “My Lord you are my father you have care for me”.
Cordelia said. King Lear said, “You are no longer a
child of mine. I disown your share between Goneril
and Regan.
The king of France was
in the court. He knew that Cordelia was
honest. He wished to marry her. As he had thought he
married her and made Cordelia the queen
of France. Before going from England she
told her two sisters to take care of her
father and they both became
the queens of England.
They did not take care of their father. To
rescue King Lear from his daughters war began between
England and France. All the people of France and England were
fighting. Cordelia cannot enter England any more. She
thought to enter England and rescue her father. France
was defeated by England and
the queen of France, Cordelia, was
imprisoned. She was surprised
to meet her father King Lear
in the jail. He said, “Don't laugh at me young lady.
Perhaps I am foolish but you look like my
daughter Cordelia”.
“Yes father! I am...I am your Cordelia. I very
happy to see you” She said.
“I am so sorry”, Lear said.
