Once upon a time in Greece,
there lived a young man called Narcissus. He lived in a small village and was
famous on land because he was quite handsome. Villagers would turn up in the
street to stare at the beautiful child.
When he grew up, people always
said, "How handsome Narcissus is!”Villagers
thought that Narcissus could not be more handsome than he already was. But as
years passed, Narcissus became a teenager. His beauty increased and became so
great that he was known all over the country.
As he grew, Narcissus was very
proud of his good-looking face.
"Oh! You are so handsome,
Narcissus!" Narcissus said one day as he looked into a pool. "There's
nobody more handsome in the whole world! I'd love to kiss you. And that's just
what I'll do!”
He leaned closer to the water.
Suddenly he lost his balance and fell into the pool.
Narcissus tried to reach the
bank of the pool, but he could not swim and he drowned.
