In the days of King Arthur and the Round Table there lived in an old German town a quaint little maiden called by her friends the Rose Maiden.

She loved the beautiful roses above all flowers and her garden filled with their choicest blooms was her especial pride. The pure white rose, her favorite, she had earnestly striven to procure; but alas It grew among the crags of the steepest mountains, and only to him of pure heart, of lofty mind, and of strong purpose, was given the power to find it.

As Sir Galahad, bravest of knights, rode forth upon his noble steed, armed for the quest of the Holy Grail, the little maid approached and said, Pray, Sir Knight, will you not bring to me the white rose for my garden, for only he of purest heart has the power to obtain it?
