无礼公主 Princess Misbehaviour
Princess Misbehaviour
Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess named Brianna. Everyone in the country thought she was pretty, but no one would play with her because she never listened to anyone, including the King and Queen. One night, while she was sleeping, a little birdie came to her in her dreams and told her that if she failed to listen to her parents her beauty would fade away. She laughed at the bird and called him foolish. She said she would stay beautiful until her dying day.
But next morning she awoke to find her long pretty hair was gone; all her pearly white teeth were missing. She broke down and cried out to the little birdie that had been in her dreams, begging him to make her beautiful again. She vowed she would never disobey her parents again. The little bird was moved by the princess and restored her beauty. She was so happy that she was back to her beautiful self. From that day forth she had lots of friends and no one ever laughed at her again.
