 A long time ago, there was a powerful wizard named Prospero. He lived on a beautiful island with his lovely daughter, Miranda. Many years before, his own brother was very mean and took his important job as the Duke. So, Prospero and Miranda were sent away on a boat and ended up on this island. Using his magic, Prospero made friends with the spirits of the island, including a helpful spirit named Ariel and a grumpy monster named Caliban. One day, Prospero saw a ship sailing nearby. On this ship were the very people who had been unkind to him, including his brother and a King. Prospero used his magic to make a big storm, causing the ship to wreck near his island. Everyone survived but got separated. Through his magic tricks, Prospero made sure that some of these people learned to be sorry for what they did. The King's son, Ferdinand, met Miranda, and they fell in love at first sight! Prospero was happy about this. In the end, Prospero decided to forgive his brother and give up his powerful magic. He and Miranda, along with Ferdinand and the other people from the ship, prepared to leave the island and go back home. It was a story about magic, forgiveness, and love.
