While the prince fights in the war, his wife bears him two golden haired sons. The witch with the iron nose, who wanted the prince to marry her daughter, kidnaps and buries the babies, replacing them with two puppies. When the naves reaches the prince that puppies were born, in his anger he has his wife killed, and he marries the daughter of the witch. Despite all her manoeuvres, the two babies survive and the mother did not die either; the witch and her daughter are appropriately punished.

I love how the bed brothers are having a private conversation with one another while the witch is just hanging about outside the window and casually overhears them.

[vanessared]

He blames the witch but the king was the one who sentenced them in a fit of rage

I love how in Hungarian folk tails, the men always have a moustache

[LRoseArts]

This should honestly be called the prince’s who just won’t die

[MarikoTodasan]

Moral of the story: no matter how much you lie and deceive, the truth will always come out.

One day, these folk tales just started popping up in my recommendations. It's so odd how hooked I am on them.

"Dear Brother, is that wheight not too heavy for you?"
"It's not heavy at all as my burden is my dear father."
"But mine's too heavy as i have to bare my enemy."

[veronicab]

The queen and her sons were kind and forgiving. If they could beg for their enemies' lighter sentence, of course they forgave the king!

[missinchoate]

So my question is, in all of their animal and plant incarnations, did the boys just experience the pain of death like 4 times?

[annekirstin]

Aw, it’s kinda cute that when the King was delivering his punishment to the Witch and her daughter, the two golden-haired sons clung to their mother. 7:50 That was a cute moment (Except for the deaths tho)

If anyone is interested, according to the Hungarian Wikipédia page for the show:

1. 1977 - First season
2. 1979 - Second season
3. 1984 - Third season
4. 1989 - Fourth season
5. 1995 - Fifth season
6. 2002 - Sixth season
7. 2007 - Seventh season
8. 2009 - Season Eight
9. 2011 - Season Nine

And in this Channel, both season 7 and season 8 in the same playlist as season 7, which I get since season 8 is a really short season. It makes sense combining the two. So season 8 (here in the Channel) is actually season 9. But every episode is translated.

How do these people fall in love so quickly?!

[m_e_r_c_i_i]

No one gonna talk about how the goat is just casually eating wood?

[friendeleven]

I liked it how the witch and her daughter were punished horribly. They deserved it.

[oOVanillaMelOo]

What i wonder is: did no one else know about the babies? I mean, the queen didn’t give birth on her own XD there must have been other people present.. 🤔

[DebikaBandyopadhyay-wjse]

Wow, astonished I am that how that story of far Hungary is sometimes similiar to India's folk tales Arun Barun Kiranmala, Chand-Kopale-Kumar (The Prince with the sign of glittering moon in his forehead), Laal Kamal and Neel Kamal...
It is interesting how our ancestors thought some same matters, that's why we are the habitat of earth... Our thoughts become similar... Love and form India ❤❤

[kikicastaneda]

And because in this story nothing goes to waste, the witches meat was turned into delicious taquitos for people to eat. The end.

[puruburu]

Lol these princes incarnated a thousand times in just 17 years .

[tandysaysyoucandoanything]
