Persinette, c'est le conte français que tout le monde connaît... sans le savoir. Car avant Raiponce, il y avait Persinette : un père qui vend son enfant contre du persil, une tour sans porte perdue dans la forêt, de longs cheveux blonds pour seule échelle, et une malédiction qui n'épargne personne.
Écrit par Mlle de la Force à la fin du XVIIe siècle, ce conte est l'un des textes fondateurs qui inspireront plus tard les frères Grimm.

00:02Two young lovers had married after a long pursuit of their love.
00:08Nothing could equal their ardor. They lived content and happy, when to fulfill their
00:14The young wife was overjoyed and found herself pregnant. And this brought great happiness to their small household.
00:24They had longed for a child. Their wish was now fulfilled. There were children in their neighborhood
00:32a fairy, who was above all curious to have a beautiful garden. One could see there in abundance
00:39of all kinds of fruits, plants, and flowers. In those days, parsley was very abundant.
00:48Rare in these parts. The fairy had some brought from India. And no one would have known
00:54to be found in the whole country as well as in one's own garden.
01:00The new wife had a great craving for some. And as she knew very well that it was
01:04It was difficult to satisfy her because no one entered the garden, she fell into
01:09a grief that rendered her unrecognizable even to her husband. He tormented her for
01:15to know the cause of this prodigious change which seemed in his mind as well
01:21that on her body. And after resisting him for too long, his wife finally confessed that she
01:27She wanted to eat some parsley. The husband sighed and was troubled by such an awkward craving.
01:34to satisfy. Nevertheless, since nothing seems difficult in love, he went day and night around
01:42the walls of this garden to try to climb them. But they were of a height that made it difficult
01:48Impossible. Finally, one evening, he noticed one of the garden gates open. He slipped in quietly.
01:59And he was so happy that he hastily grabbed a handful of parsley. He went back out as he had been
02:06He entered and took his loot to his wife, who ate it greedily and who, two days later, found herself
02:15more eager than ever to eat more. Back then, parsley was a must.
02:21It was in excellent taste. The poor husband then returned several times, to no avail.
02:28But finally, his perseverance was rewarded. He found the garden gate open again.
02:35He went in and was quite surprised to see the fairy herself, who scolded him severely.
02:43the audacity he had shown in coming to a place whose entry was forbidden
02:48to whomever it was. The confused man got down on his knees, begged his forgiveness, and said
02:55that his wife would die if she didn't eat a little parsley, that she was fat
03:00and that this desire was quite forgivable.
03:03“Well!” said the fairy. “I will give you just as much parsley as you need.”
03:08"You will. If you will give me the child your wife will bear." The husband, after
03:15After a brief deliberation, the betrothed man took as much parsley as he wanted. And when
03:23The time for childbirth arrived, the fairy went to the mother who put to
03:28world a girl, whom the fairy named "Persinette". She received her in
03:36swaddling clothes of gold cloth and sprinkled his face with precious water that she had
03:41in a crystal vase, which at that very moment made her the most beautiful creature in the world.
03:48After her beauty ceremonies, the fairy took little Persinette and carried her home.
03:54and had her raised with every imaginable care. It was a marvel. Before she had
04:01reached her twelfth year, and knowing her fate, the fairy resolved
04:06to steal her away from her destiny. To this end, she raised, by means of her charms,
04:12a silver tower in the middle of a forest. This mysterious tower had no
04:18door to enter. There were large and beautiful apartments, as well lit as
04:24if sunlight had entered it, and it received daylight through the fire of carbuncles
04:29all of its rooms shone brightly. Everything necessary for life was there.
04:35splendidly. All the rarities were gathered in this place. Persinette only had to
04:41When she opened the drawers of her cabinets, she found them full of the most beautiful jewels.
04:46Her wardrobes were magnificent, on par with those of Asian queens. And there was no
04:51She didn't have a fashion that she wasn't the first to have. She was alone in that beautiful living room.
04:57where she desired nothing but company. Apart from that, all her desires
05:03They were warned and satisfied. Needless to say, at every meal, the food
05:09The most delicate ones made her food. But I assure you that, as she did not know
05:15The fairy, she was not bored in her solitude. She read, she painted, she
05:21played instruments and enjoyed all those things that a girl who was perfectly
05:25The high-ranking woman did not ignore him. The fairy ordered her to sleep at the top of the tower where there was
05:31a single window. And after settling her in this charming solitude, she descended through
05:37The window, and she went back home. Persinette amused herself with a hundred different things from
05:44that she was alone. When all she had done was rummage through her cassettes, it was
05:49A pretty big job. How many people would want to have one like it?
05:55The view from the tower window was the most beautiful view in the world because you could see the sea
06:00On one side and on the other, this vast forest. These two objects were singular and charming.
06:08Persinette had a divine voice. She loved to sing and it was often her pastime.
06:15especially at the times when she waited for the fairy. She came to see her often and when she
06:21was at the bottom of the tower, she was used to saying
06:24"Persinette, let your hair down so I can come up!" She was one of the great beauties
06:31Persinette's hair, which was thirty ells long, did not suit her.
06:37They were blond like fine gold, coordinated with ribbons of all colors, and when
06:43She heard the fairy's voice, she untied them, put them downstairs and the fairy came up.
06:51One day, when Persinette was alone at her window, she began to sing the most
06:56beautifully of the world. A young prince was hunting at that time. He had strayed to
07:02the trail of a stag. Hearing this pleasant song, he approached and saw the young
07:08Persinette. Her beauty touched him, her voice charmed him. He circled this twenty times.
07:15fatal tower, and seeing no entrance, he thought he would die of grief. He was in love,
07:23He was audacious. He wished he could climb the tower. Persinette, for her part
07:29She was speechless when she saw such a charming man. She gazed at him for a long time, completely captivated.
07:33She was astonished. But suddenly, she stepped back from the window, thinking it was something
07:38monster, remembering having heard that there were some that killed with their eyes. And she
07:43had found the latter's gaze very dangerous. The prince was in despair
07:49to see her disappear like that. He inquired at the nearest houses about what
07:54It was. He was told that a fairy had built this tower and had locked someone inside.
08:00a young girl. He prowled there every day. Finally, the time came when he saw her arrive
08:07the fairy and heard her say, "Persinette, let your hair down so I can come up." At the same time
08:15At that moment, he noticed that this beautiful person was undoing the long braids of her hair.
08:20and that the fairy was riding up with them. He was very surprised by such a way of paying a visit.
08:26unusual. The next day, when he thought the hour had passed, that the fairy
08:33He was accustomed to entering the tower, and he waited for nightfall with great impatience.
08:38and approaching beneath the window, he admirably imitated the fairy's voice and said, "Persinette,
08:46"Lower your hair so I can come up." Poor Persinette, deceived by the sound of this
08:53She heard the voice, ran up, and let down her beautiful hair. The prince climbed up, and when he reached the top
08:59And seeing himself at the window, he thought he would fall when he noticed this so closely.
09:05prodigious beauty. Nevertheless, recalling all his natural audacity, he leaped into the
09:12In the room, and kneeling at Persinette's feet, he kissed her knees with an ardor that
09:17could persuade her. At first, she was frightened. She screamed.
09:23A moment later, she was trembling and nothing could reassure her until she
09:27she felt in her heart as much love as she had put in the prince's.
09:34He told her the most beautiful things in the world, to which she responded only with confusion.
09:39which gave the prince hope. Finally, having grown bolder, he proposed marriage to her.
09:46on the spot. She consented, hardly knowing what she was doing. She finished
09:52even the whole ceremony. There's the happy prince. Persinette is also getting used to loving him.
09:59They saw each other every day and shortly afterwards, she found herself pregnant.
10:05This unknown condition greatly worried him. The prince suspected as much and refused to explain for fear of being told.
10:12of the afflicted one. But the fairy, having gone to see her, had not considered her as soon as she
10:19knew of her illness. "Oh, you poor thing!" she said to her. "You have fallen into a
10:25A grave mistake. You will be punished for it. Fates cannot be avoided, and I foresaw this.
10:33was quite futile.” Saying this, she imperiously demanded that he confess everything.
10:39Her adventure. What poor Persinette did, her eyes brimming with tears. After this story,
10:47The fairy did not appear to be touched by all the love of which Persinette recounted such touching details.
10:52And taking her by the hair, she cut the precious strands. After which, she made her
10:58She went downstairs and also climbed down through the window. When they reached the bottom, she wrapped herself up
11:04with her from a cloud that carried them both to the seashore, to a very
11:09Solitary, but quite pleasant. There were meadows, woods, a freshwater stream,
11:16a small hut made of evergreen foliage. And inside was a bed of sea rushes.
11:21and next to it a basket containing some biscuits which were quite
11:26good and never-ending. It was to this place that the fairy led Persinette
11:33and left her after reproaching her, a reproache that seemed a hundred times more cruel than
11:38her own misfortunes. It was in this place that she gave birth to a little prince
11:44and to a little princess. And it was in this place that she nursed them and had
11:50She spent all her time mourning her misfortune. But the fairy found no revenge.
11:57quite full. She needed to have the prince in her power and punish him.
12:02Also. As soon as she had left poor Persinette, she went back up to the tower and began
12:08to sing in the same tone as Persinette sang, the prince, deceived by this voice, who returned
12:15To see her, he asked for her hair back so he could go upstairs as he usually did. The treacherous woman
12:21The fairy had expressly cut them off for the beautiful Persinette. And handing them to her, the poor prince appeared
12:27at the window, where he felt far less astonishment than sorrow at not finding his mistress.
12:33He looked for her, but the fairy was looking at him angrily.
12:37"Reckless!" she told him. "Your crime is boundless. The punishment will be terrible."
12:46But he, ignoring threats that concerned only himself, asked, "Where is Persinette?"
12:52he replied. "She's no longer for you!" she retorted.
12:57Then the prince, more agitated by the furies of his grief than constrained by the power of
13:03The fairy's bacon tumbled from the top of the tower down. It must have broken a thousand times.
13:09His whole body. He fell, suffering no other injury than losing his sight. He was very surprised.
13:17to feel that he could no longer see. He remained for some time at the foot of the tower, moaning.
13:22and to pronounce the name of Persinette a hundred times. He walked as best he could, groping at first.
13:31Then his steps became more assured. He remained like this for I don't know how long without
13:37to meet anyone who could assist and guide him. He fed on herbs
13:43and the roots he encountered when hunger pressed him. After a few years,
13:51One day he found himself more preoccupied with the memory of his loves and misfortunes than usual.
13:56He lay down under a tree and gave all his thoughts to the sad reflections he was making.
14:05This occupation is cruel to anyone who thinks they deserved a better fate. But suddenly,
14:11He was roused from his reverie by the sound of a charming voice he heard.
14:16Its first sounds reached his heart. They penetrated him and brought gentle movements within.
14:23with whom he had long since ceased to be accustomed.
14:27"Oh, God!" he cried.
14:31"That's Persinette's voice!"
14:34He wasn't mistaken. He had imperceptibly arrived in his desert.
14:40She sat on the door of her cabin and sang the unhappy story of her love affairs.
14:48Two children of hers, more beautiful than the day, were playing a few steps away from her.
14:53And walking a little further, they came to the tree under which the prince was lying.
14:59No sooner had they seen him than they both threw themselves at his neck and kissed him
15:05a thousand times,
15:05constantly saying, "That's my father!"
15:08"That's my father!"
15:10They called for their mother and made such loud cries that she came running, not knowing what it could be.
15:17Never before that moment had his solitude been disturbed by any accident.
15:23How surprised and delighted she was when she recognized her dear husband.
15:28That is what cannot be expressed.
15:32She let out a piercing scream and rushed towards him.
15:36Her shock was so profound that, quite naturally, she shed a torrent of tears.
15:43But oh wonder!
15:45No sooner had her precious tears fallen upon the prince's eyes,
15:48that they immediately regained all their light.
15:54He saw clearly, as he used to.
15:57And he received this favor through the tenderness of the passionate little parsley girl,
16:02whom he took in his arms and to whom he gave a thousand times more caresses than he had ever given her.
16:06had never done it before.
16:08Oh !
16:09It was a very touching sight to see this handsome prince.
16:14this charming princess and her lovely children,
16:18in a joy and tenderness that transported them beyond themselves.
16:23The rest of the day passed in this way, filled with pleasure.
16:29But when evening came, this little family needed some food.
16:34The prince, thinking he was eating biscuits, turned to stone.
16:39He was terrified by this marvel and supped in sorrow.
16:44The poor children cried.
16:46The distraught mother wanted to at least give them some water.
16:49But she turned into crystal.
16:53What a night!
16:55They didn't get through it very well.
16:58They believed a hundred times that she would be eternal for them.
17:02As soon as day broke, they got up and decided to gather some herbs.
17:07But what?
17:09She transformed into a toad, a venomous beast.
17:13The most innocent birds became dragons,
17:16harpies flying around them
17:19and whose sight caused terror.
17:22"So it's over!" cried the prince.
17:25“My dear little persinette,
17:27I only found you again to lose you in a more terrible way.
17:31"We shall die, my dear prince!" she replied, kissing him tenderly.
17:35"And let us make our enemies envious,"
17:38even the sweetness of our death!
17:41Their poor grandchildren were in their arms,
17:44in a state of collapse that brought them to the brink of death.
17:48"Who wouldn't have been moved to see this deplorable family dying like this?"
17:56And so a favorable miracle occurred for them.
18:01The fairy was moved,
18:03and recalling in that moment all the tenderness
18:06that she had once felt for the kind little persinette,
18:09She transported herself to the place where they were.
18:13She appeared in a chariot shining with gold and precious stones.
18:16She had them get in there.
18:18placing herself in the midst of her wealthy lovers,
18:21and placing their delightful children at their feet on beautiful tiles
18:25She led them in this way to the palace of the king, the prince's father.
18:31It was there that the jubilation became excessive.
18:35This handsome prince was received like a god.
18:38that we thought had been lost for so long.
18:41After being so shaken by the storm,
18:44that nothing in the world was comparable
18:46to the bliss in which he lived with his perfect wife.
18:55Tender spouses,
18:57learn from these
18:58that it is advantageous to always be faithful.
19:02The punishments, the work,
19:04the most pressing concern,
19:06everything is finally softened
19:08when the feelings are mutual.
19:11We brave fortune,
19:13We overcome adversity,
19:15as long as two spouses
19:16agree.
