Once upon a time in a kingdom bright, lived a girl in a cottage, her heart full of light. She said, "I am a princess, so regal and grand! My stories flow like rivers, my dreams unplanned!" The townsfolk were puzzled by her claim, but her spirit sparkled with no hint of shame.
One stormy night, as the wind howled and blew, a royal prince came riding, sleek and true. He searched for a bride, a lady so fine, who could grace his grand castle, adorned like a shrine.
A princess arrived, wearing jewels of gold, but the girl from the cottage was brave and bold. She said, "Test me, kind prince, to see if it's so. I’ll prove I am worthy wherever I go!"
The queen had a test, so clever and sly. A pea was hidden—oh my, oh my! Under twenty soft mattresses, fluffy and deep, the girl was to sleep, though no need for a peep.
But this wasn't just any girl with a smile; she was sensitive, gentle, with a heart full of guile. The night rolled on, while stars shone above, the girl felt something—a hint of a shove.
In the morning, the queen asked with a grin, "Did you sleep well? Was it peaceful within?" The girl said, "No, I felt something unkind! My sleep was disturbed, and it troubled my mind."
The queen's eyes grew wide, her heart full of glee. She knew at that moment, this girl could be free. A true princess is one who can feel and detect, tiny little troubles that others neglect.
They laughed and rejoiced, the prince was quite sure; the girl in the cottage was noble and pure. They planned a grand wedding, a celebration so bright, with music, laughter, and love as their light.
So remember, dear friends, in all that you do, true nobility shines from the heart that is true. It's not just the crown or the jewels that gleam; it’s kindness and love that fulfill every dream!
In the kingdom they danced, as the night turned to day, the princess, the prince, in a wonderful way. For the lesson they learned, in that castle so high, is that nobility's found in the truth that we try.
