Another exciting folktale is The Ruby Prince from the Punjab. 

In this one, a king receives a priceless ruby that turns into a baby boy in the queen's treasure chest. The Ruby Prince kills a monster and wins a wife, but tells her never to ask where he came from. When she inevitably does, he disappears.

She later finds out that he lives with the King of Snakes now. She takes dance lessons, enchants the king with her dance, and wins her husband back.
