One of the most loved Moroccan folk stories is called, "The Girl Who Lived
With Gazelles." The story involves many of the themes typically used in
Moroccan folk stories including family, Islam, animals, respect, and the desert.
The Girl Who Lived with Gazelles
There was once a young girl who lived with her father in the city.
The father went away on a business trip. When he came back, the
city's priest, who was a bad man, told him an evil lie about the girl. Though
the lie was not true, the father believed the priest and banished the girl to the
desert. "Banished" means sent away forever.

English Reading Practice - Educational Stories, Articles and Exercises
In the desert, the girl was adopted (taken care of) by a herd (group) of
gazelles. A "gazelle" is a kind of animal similar to a deer or horse. She lived
with the gazelles for many years.
One day, a handsome prince came by and saw the girl. The two fell in love
and got married. Together, they had a son.
However, the prince's advisor was jealous of the love between the prince and
the girl. Because of this, he stole the baby. The girl was so upset and
frightened (scared) that she ran away to a village nearby. There she wore a man's cloths and found work.
Many years later, the village was holding a hunting competition. The girl's
father, the priest, the prince, and the advisor were all there. The girl
recognized them (knew who they were), but they did not recognize her.
At the competition, the girl stood up and told her life story to the crowd.
Everyone immediately recognized her. They understood she was telling the
truth! The girl, the prince, and her father were all happily reunited (brought
together again). The priest and advisor were banished to prison.
They soon learned that the son who had been stolen was actually living in the
village. The girl and her husband, the prince, were then reunited with their son.
The prince was so happy that he passed a law that said that hunters could not
hunt (kill) gazelles. From that day on, the gazelles were protected from harm. Back to Topics And now, practice: Morocco - Exercises
