Reading Notes: Beth Gellert, Part B

Celtic Fairy Tales: Beth Gellert
Author: Joseph Jacobs

There once was a prince, named Prince Llewelyn. This prince had a hound named Gellert. Gellert was the best dog that the prince had ever had. He always took Gellert with him when he went hunting.

One afternoon, Prince Llewelyn wanted to go hunting but couldn't find Gellert. He called for him, but no response. So the prince went hunting without Gellert.

Upon his return, Gellert greeted the prince with blood dripping from his mouth. Worried about his toddler, the prince hurried to the nursery. When he got to the nursery, his child was nowhere to be found. He looked everywhere for him.

Assuming that Gellert had killed his child, the prince took his sword and stabbed the hound. When Gellert let out a big yelp, the child awoke and made a noise. Unharmed, the prince found his child under the crib awakening from a nap. Under the crib with the baby was a wolf that had been killed.

Gellert had protected the child from harm. The prince tried to revive the dog, but couldn't.
