00:00The Princess of the Springs

00:07Once upon a time, the moon giant who was called Munaro

00:11was strolling through the barren lands of the moon

00:14when he suddenly caught sight of the beautiful giantess of earth called Blula.

00:21Munaro at once fell in love with her and decided to propose to her.

00:27He jumped from the moon and landed on earth.

00:31He knelt down in front of her holding a tree like a flower

00:35and announced his love for her.

00:38Blula was very impressed with him.

00:41She smiled. Munaro had won her over.

00:45Munaro built her a wonderful palace by the great river.

00:49It was the most beautiful palace on earth.

00:53Blula was very happy.

00:55Soon, the baby of Blula and Munaro was born.

01:00The giant hermit who had come to bless her announced,

01:04She will be the princess of all the springs

01:08and will rule over all the rivers and lakes.

01:12I name her Princess Spring.

01:15Blula and Munaro were very happy.

01:19As the beautiful Princess Spring grew older,

01:22many suitors came to sing her praises beneath the palace windows,

01:27but she favored none of them.

01:29She was so happy living in her own lovely palace

01:33with her own dear mother that she did not care at all for any suitor.

01:39No other daughter ever loved her mother as Princess Spring loved her mother, Blula.

01:45One day, Solaris, the sun giant, came to woo her.

01:50When Princess Spring saw him,

01:52she was astounded as Solaris was the most handsome man that she had seen.

01:58Wow! He is so handsome.

02:01Hey there, you beautiful Princess Spring.

02:05My name is Solaris, and I have come to you to ask for your hand in marriage.

02:11I am in love with you.

02:13Princess Spring at once became sad.

02:17Oh, mighty Solaris, you're so handsome and wonderful.

02:21I am in love with you too, but I cannot leave my mother

02:25because I love her more than anyone else.

02:28I am sorry.

02:30Dejected, Solaris left.

02:33The next day when the sun rose,

02:35Solaris came back to the palace again and called out for Princess Spring.

02:40Oh, beautiful Princess Spring, please come and talk to me.

02:45Hearing his voice, Princess Spring at once came out.

02:49Oh, Solaris, I am so glad to see you.

02:53And I am glad to see you too, Princess.

02:56And I have come to tell you that it is impossible for me to forget you.

03:01I simply cannot stay away from you.

03:04But I also understand your love for your mother.

03:07Hence, I have come with another proposal.

03:11And what shall that be?

03:13Marry me. Come with me to my kingdom.

03:16Stay with me for nine months every year.

03:19And for the remaining three months,

03:21you could come to your mother and stay here with her.

03:25Princess Spring smiled for she quite liked Solaris' proposal.

03:30She agreed and the wedding was held at once.

03:34After the wedding, she bid farewell to her parents and she left with Solaris.

03:39A few days after the wedding, Munaro went up to Blula.

03:44Hey, love. It is time for me to go back to my kingdom to take care of my people.

03:50But what about me? Am I to stay here all by myself?

03:54Darling, I have always asked you to come with me, but you never do.

03:59You do not want to leave your palace.

04:02That is the reason why I built it in the first place. Remember?

04:07Yes, I do not wish to leave Earth.

04:10You go on. I will wait for you here like every year.

04:14They hugged each other and then Munaro left.

04:17After that, Blula became lonelier.

04:21Months passed and one day out of monotony,

04:24Blula decided to take a walk into the deep woods beyond the great river,

04:29unaware that Crystal, the ice giantess, awaited her.

04:34When she reached the deep woods, Crystal appeared in front of her.

04:39Welcome, Blula. You took a while to come out of your territory.

04:44Who are you?

04:46I am Crystal, the ice giantess, and I am here to take over you.

04:52Freeze!

04:54At once, Blula was covered with ice and froze.

04:58The Earth is now mine!

05:02And soon the Earth was covered with ice.

05:06The rivers froze, the flowers disappeared, and the animals shivered.

05:11Munaro was informed about this by his wise minister.

05:15He at once asked his wise minister to arrange for a meeting with Solaris.

05:20Sire, you should meet Solaris secretly so that Crystal is unaware of your meeting.

05:26If she finds out, she will take preventative measures against you.

05:31Hmm, you're right. What do you suggest then?

05:35The wise minister suggested an idea that impressed Munaro.

05:40Brilliant! This is what I shall do.

05:44Later that day, Munaro moved the moon and placed it right in between the Sun and the Earth.

05:51This caused an eclipse and the Earth went completely dark.

05:56Munaro met Solaris and Princess Spring midway and explained everything to them.

06:02Princess Spring was terrified.

06:04Mother, no!

06:06Seeing his wife horrified, Solaris was furious.

06:11I will melt Crystal with my fury. Munaro, move out of the way!

06:16Munaro nodded and moved out of the way.

06:20Solaris unleashed his fury upon Crystal and soon all the ice started to melt.

06:26What is happening? Why is all the ice melting?

06:33The rays of the Sun were too powerful for her.

06:36She at once understood that it was Solaris.

06:40Alright, alright! Stop!

06:43I am not going to stop until you set Blula free.

06:47I will set her free, but I have a condition.

06:50I don't think you understand.

06:52Either you set her free or I melt you completely.

06:56There are no conditions.

06:58Fine! Go ahead. Melt me.

07:01But remember, melting me will cause great floods all over the Earth and that will take you eons to fix.

07:09Solaris was stunned.

07:11She is right. We cannot melt her. Ask her what her condition is.

07:16Solaris fumed in anger.

07:18Fine! What is your condition?

07:22I will leave for now, but every year when Princess Spring returns back to you,

07:28I want my reign on Earth for all the nine months.

07:33That is absurd! Nine months of freezing cold temperature will harm Earth.

07:38What would be even left for me to give to it when I return?

07:42Crystal thought for a while and then said,

07:45Okay, fine. Seven months then.

07:48Where do you think our newborn son Monsoon is going to go for his adventures?

07:54We have decided to send him to his grandmother's palace every year for three months

07:59so that he can learn all about Earth and shower his reigns upon it.

08:04Ugh! Come on now! A baby?

08:07He is no ordinary baby.

08:10He is the son of Solaris and Princess Spring.

08:13Blah, blah, blah. Okay, fine.

08:16Four months and that is it.

08:18Two!

08:19Four!

08:20Two!

08:21Four!

08:22Alright, stop both of you!

08:23But darling, I am only trying to...

08:26Yeah, I know, but my mother is literally a statue there.

08:30Three months. You get three months every year.

08:34Take it or leave it.

08:36Okay, fine. I will see you all next year.

08:41Saying so, she disappeared into a thin line of cold wind and left.

08:47Princess Spring at once reached Earth

08:50and as soon as she stepped on the grass, the ice disappeared.

08:54The river started flowing again.

08:56The trees had fruits and the animals joyful.

09:00Earth looked beautiful.

09:02The ice coating from Blula disappeared and she was free once again.

09:07Mother!

09:08Spring, my daughter, you came for me?

09:11The two hugged each other

09:13and Princess Spring explained to her mother everything that had happened.

09:17My daughter, my husband and son-in-law have done right when I was trapped.

09:22I am so lucky.

09:24And do not worry, as far as Crystal is concerned,

09:28I will embrace her for three months.

09:30But tell me, what is the good news that you are going to give me?

09:34Mother, I have given birth to a son.

09:37He is going to be the Giant of Rains.

09:40We have named him Monsoon

09:42and he will come visit you every year for three months.

09:46Oh, how wonderful!

09:48I am so happy, my child.

09:51And so that's how it went.

09:53Every year, Princess Spring would come for three months to visit Blula

09:57and the Earth blossomed.

09:59Then, Solaris would come to take her back to his kingdom,

10:02bringing with him summer on Earth.

10:05Then, Monsoon would come to visit his grandmother

10:08and stay with her for three months.

10:11It would rain everywhere on Earth during that time.

10:14And then when he left,

10:16Crystal will come bringing winter with her for the last three months of the year.

10:20And as for Blula,

10:22she embraced all the seasons with love

10:25and together under her, the Earth prospered.
