Notes:
This folktale is about Aaron -- a prince who is raised in an orphanage, and who makes his way through the world as an humble servant. The conclusion of this tale is an example of two strong conventions in Eritrean folktale -- the miraculous reuniting of long-lost friends and family, and the triumph of justice, which restores an ideal order of the past. The storyteller first encountered this story in a book published in Eritrea. It is unclear whether it was originally a novel or folktale.
