Need someone to prepare a short speech based on this story. Thank you.
Once upon a time, there was a man who could find no girl who would marry him. So, he planted a garden of flowers, hoping that some girl, tempted by their beauty, would agree to be his wife in order that she might always wear them in her ears. He soon noticed that someone came every night and picked flowers from his garden, but he never saw any of the girls in the village wear them in her ears. To solve the mystery he kept watch in the garden one night. When all was quiet a woman of wonderful beauty came and began to pluck the flowers, singing very sweetly to herself as she did so. He ran and caught her and held her tight in spite of her struggles. She said that he must let her go as she was of the race of the sky folk and her name Shambili but he would not and they became husband and wife. All was happiness till one day Shambili said that she must go to her own folk, for it was the time of their Spring Festival. So he let her go, and the day after she had gone, a lame man who lived in the next house died. On the day when she was to return her husband looked out early and saw her coming in the far distance, carrying a basket. To his horror, in the basket he saw the deformed leg of the lame man. But, when she got near he looked again and the human leg had turned into a mithan leg. This she cooked, but though she pressed him, her husband would not eat any of it. So, she ate it all herself. Next morning, the door of the their house remained shut and one of the villagers came to see what had happened. He peeped in and saw Shambili sitting on the chest of her husband and tearing out and eating his vitals. He gave the alarm, and the villagers surrounded the house. But, jut as they were going to close in on it, there was a clap of thunder and a dense cloud descended on the house. When it lifted Shambili was not there. She had been taken back to the sky.
