The boy went to the princess' father and explained his true love for his daughter and how she returned the love in full. The father insisted that such a love would never be allowed and that his daughter would be married to the man he chose.
Heartbroken, the boy disappeared from the tribe. He was too saddened to remain and watch the life of his true love be carried out with another.
When the princess heard of such news, she raged her anger at her father and swore she would not fulfill his orders of marriage to a man she did not love. She wept and wept, for she too had a heart full of despair and ache.
The next morning when she awoke, her father agreed to let her marry the boy she had so solemnly swore herself to. That is, if she could find him. So the princess left the tribe in search of the boy.
She still has not found him to this day. Those that say they've heard of a traveling boy or have caught a glimpse of him amongst the trees and bushes, put up a sign in the area to help the princess. So should she travel by, she can see the sign and know her true love has been spotted.
It's important to always be looking quietly when you see one of the signs posted, for the boy, Falling Rock, gets scared off easily and doesn't trust strangers. But should you spot him, you may be able to finally reunite the princess with her true love.
I can't tell you ~how~ many countless hours I'd sit in the car on road trips looking for Falling Rock (Fallen Rock).
[This is the story my parents told me on car trips so I'd shut my trap and stop my endless yammerings. Needless to say, I fell for every bit of it and they got some silence to relish.]
