This Short Story Reward for bravery is quite interesting to all the
people. Enjoy reading this story.
There was once a kind Duke. He was loved and respected by his
subjects. This Duke had a wicked brother. His name was
Frederick. Frederick rebelled against his brother. He drove away
the Duke. The Duke was a peace loving person. He left the
Dukedom. He went to the forest called Arden. His followers also
went with him. There he led a peaceful life with his followers.
Frederick became the Duke.
The Duke had a daughter. Her name was Rosalind. Frederick also
had a daughter. Her name was Celia. Rosalind and Celia were
fond each other from their childhood. Celia wanted Rosalind to be
with her in the palace. Frederick allowed Rosalind to be in the
palace with his daughter. This was for the sake of his own
daughter, Celia.
Sir Rowland De Boys was friend of the elder Duke who was in the
forest. Sir Rowland died leaving all his property to his eldest son
whose name was Oliver. Oliver was jealous of his younger brother
whose name was Orlando. Oliver did not give any part of the
property or money to Orlando. He did not even educate Orlando
either.
In Duke Frederick’s court, there was a powerful wrestler. His
name was Charles. No young man dared to challenge Charles. But
Orlando accepted the challenge. Oliver met Charles secretly. He
instructed Charles to do the worst to Orlando.
At the wrestling place there were many people. Duke Frederick
was also there. In the earlier matches Charles threw little
challengers one after another. All the three challengers had
broken their ribs. They were struggling for life. Celia and Rosalind
also had come there. Duke Frederick asked the girls to talk to the
young man, Orlando. Frederick had felt that Charles would throw
Orlando down in the fight. The girls approached Orlando. They
requested him not to fight. Orlando refused gently. He said, “I
have no one to care for me. I do not care even to die."
The match began. Orlando was much stronger than Charles.
Orlando lifted Charles above his shoulders.
Then he threw him down. Charles became unconscious after
falling. Frederick and all others were happy. They congratulated
Orlando. Orlando told Frederick, “I am the second son of late Sir
Rowland de Boys."
Frederick did not like Orlando from that minute onwards, because
Frederick had not liked Sir Rowland de Boys.
The two girls on the contrary praised Orlando. Rosalind was
happy. Sit Rowland had been her father’s friend. She then took
out a chain from her neck and presented it to Orlando. This was
the reward for his bravery.
