Cinderella in India
(this is page two; click here for page one)
Well, King Dushyanta had forgotten all about his wife Shakuntala, because of the curse. So he never sent for her, while she gave birth to their son Bharata. Finally Shakuntala decided to go the city and look for her husband. But on the way there, her ring fell off into a river, and Shakuntala didn't even notice.
When Shakuntala arrived at King Dushyanta's palace, she was surprised and upset when her husband didn't even recognize her (because of the curse). Shakuntala went back to the forest and raised their son Bharata there, just the two of them all alone.
Meanwhile, a fisherman caught a fish and found the king's ring in its stomach. He took the ring to the palace, and as soon as King Dushyanta saw the ring, the curse was broken and he suddenly remembered all about Shakuntala. Dushyanta set off immediately for the forest to find his wife and son, and they all lived happily ever after.
