In the land of France lived Prince Senior. He didn’t have lands of his own because his wicked brother Prince Frederick took everything from him. So Prince Senior lived in the Forest of Arden. He had a daughter named Rosalind living together with Prince Frederick’s daughter Celia because they were very close that if Rosalind moved away, Celia would follow her. One day, the prince arranged a wrestling match. He thought the fighter Orlando was not a match to Charles, another fighter, so he asked Rosalind and Celia to talk to Orlando and make him decide not to fight when Orlando didn’t listen to him. Orlando said he must fight though he couldn’t win, but he won the match. The prince however was angry to know that Orlando’s father was a close friend of Prince Senior. He even told Rosalind to leave the palace for liking Orlando. Celia too went away with Rosalind. They took some money and jewellery, and dressed as country people. Rosalind dressed as a man called herself Ganymede. They secretly left the palace. They bought a land nearby Forest of Arden. Orlando was planning to escape too since his brother Oliver wanted to kill him. He left the house with his servant Adam. They met Prince Senior in the forest and he allowed them to stay with him when he discovered that Orlando’s father was his old friend. One day, Rosalind saw many love poems for her in the forest. She then, in a man’s appearance, discovered that Orlando has written the poems for her. She also met Prince Senior and told him that her parents were as good as he was. One day, Orlando saw a lion was eyeing on Oliver who was sleeping under a tree. He triumphantly fought the lion. Orlando was puzzled to see Oliver dressed in torn clothes. Oliver told him that Prince Frederick ordered him to find Orlando in a year or lost everything he owned. Oliver asked Orlando to forgive him and they became friends. On the same day, Orlando was supposed to meet Ganymede. He asked Oliver to send his handkerchief to Ganymede. She almost fainted upon hearing that it was Orlando’s blood on the handkerchief, but remembering that she was Ganymede, a man, she explained that she pretended to faint. Oliver fell in love with Celia and wanted to marry her. Orlando was happy for his brother and he told Ganymede that he too wanted to marry Rosalind. The next day, both princesses dressed as themselves again and were married to the man they each love. During the wedding banquet, a messenger arrived from the palace. Prince Frederick gave back the lands Prince Senior once owned. He realized that he has been wicked and he wanted to become a priest.
The end.
