Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was a little princess. The little princess had dark curly hair and bright eyes. She was the center of her father’s and mother’s world. Her father, the king, was very kind and generous. He and his queen ruled over the land in peace and harmony. One day, the queen began to fall ill for some unknown reason. The king loved the queen so much that he stayed by her side as much as possible to help take care of her. The little princess saw this and also tried to serve her mother to help her recover, but alas, her mother passed away when the princess was just a little girl. The king saw how miserable the little princess was without having her mother around so the king was at her side, always spoiling her as much as possible. He told the princess how pretty she looked every single day and how blessed he was to have her in his life so that she would never feel the loss of her mother. Eventually, she grew up into a young woman. Over the time, she had become to believe that she truly was the prettiest in all the land. She had bonded with her father so much that she rarely ever left his side. He was her whole world. She took care of his every need and looked after him as she had seen him do for her mother. The king, however, felt the princess was coming of age to get married so he started to bring princes from other kingdoms to meet her. The princess, however, felt she was too good for them. She looked at herself as being the prettiest princess, and that none of these princes could compare to her beauty. She wanted someone like her father. She wanted someone who would always tell her how beautiful she was and would give her everything she wanted. She did not feel any of the princes her father brought to her would do that for her, so she turned them all down. She did not want to leave her father’s side, and she felt no one could ever treat her as well as he could. Therefore, she did not wish to marry and leave the kingdom. She explained to the King of her choice to stay, take care of him, and never leave. The king was unhappy with her decision and said that she needed to marry to rule over the kingdom one day. She explained to him that she would rather stay with him, tending to his needs, until he grew old, and then rule over the kingdom without a husband. She explained that no one would take care of her as well as he would and that no one would take care of him as well as she could. The king finally agreed, and so they lived happily ever after.
